    Chicken Fried Steak, Over Easy Eggs & Hashbrowns
    Myrda G.

    We visited Stack's Cafe on a Monday morning. The restaurant was half full but only had two servers and one busser working the floor. Servers were working hard and efficient but we did have to wait a little bit to get our order placed. My spouse got the California Stack which was loaded with fresh avocado. My spouse normally can't finish a big breakfast but came very close to finishing this one since it was so tasty. I got the Chicken Fried Steak & Eggs. Eggs were cooked a perfect Over Easy and the Chicken Fried Steak was also very tasty. I requested an Ice Coffee since it was already 85 degrees at 8:30 am that morning which they did for me. The parking lot had a security monitor walking around and there were plenty of unhoused people milling around just outside the shopping center where Stack's Cafe is located so just pay attention of your surroundings. We definitely will return to Stack's Cafe next time we are in Bakersfield.

    Wow!!!! A brunch gem on California Ave A PERFECT place to have a great meal with family and friends. They serve great good and service always came with a smile. They were so kind to make suggestions and kept my coffee mug full. I would definitely come back with my family and try the bacon waffle ...

    Santa Fe Stack

    Santa Fe Stack was so delicious!! It was so hard to decide on which stack I wanted to try...guess I'll need to come more often to try them all! The server was amazing! She gave great suggestions and was super polite and attentive. I went on a Friday morning so it wasn't too busy. It was great timing. Not too loud. The mimosa flight was awesome! Great way to try multiple flavors. The cranberry and sunrise were my favorite flavors. Definitely not too sweet at all! Strong. I recommend getting the flight if you want to try different flavors. I will be coming back and brining my friends!

    Stacks was awesome and the food thankfully was good considering we were just passing through. Decent prices and very nice customer service. Thank you everybody enjoyed their plates.

    First visit to this Stacks café because one of the places I was expecting to have breakfast today only serves lunch except on Saturday. I'll keep you in the loop. We'll talk about it later anyway Stacks is it. The Grub : We ordered the Hot Honey Chicken & Waffles, which at about $21 is the most expensive item on the menu. That said, it comes with your choice of bacon or sausage and eggs, so considering Bakersfield prices, I actually think it's a pretty good value. The chicken and waffles themselves were very good. My only complaint was that I wish they had gone a little lighter on the hot honey. There was so much poured over the waffle that it became slightly soggy before I really had a chance to taste how crispy the waffle was supposed to be. Even though it was mostly soggy, it was still very tasty. The chicken was probably about two strips cut into thirds, which made it look like there was more chicken than there actually was. It definitely wasn't a huge portion of chicken, but it was enough to fill me up. We also ordered the Chicken Fried Steak, which my friend -- whose brunch I bought that day -- described in his own words as "not very good, but good enough to eat." He said he's had much better chicken fried steak at several other places. The Service ‍ The service was actually good overall. There was just a little confusion when we were first seated. Our waitress originally thought the table we were placed at wasn't her section. There was some miscommunication between her and another employee, and she thought she was seating us at his table when, in reality, it was hers. When we first got to the table, there was still syrup on it -- and unfortunately, that syrup ended up on my shirt. No problem... I do have a washing machine , but I was definitely a little irritated that my fresh 9:30 AM shirt already needed a cleaning before brunch even got started. Other than that, the service was good. The waitresses and waiter we encountered all seemed to know what they were doing and were good at their jobs. Overall. 3 out of 5 stars. Despite the syrup adding an unexpected flavor to my shirt and a couple of little issues, the Hot Honey Chicken & Waffles were absolutely good enough to make me want to come back. This was my first visit to Stacks Café, and I'm hoping for an even better experience next time -- maybe with a little less honey on the waffle and a little less syrup on my table.

    This place was good. It was our first time trying this spot and it was okay. I did feel the food was a bit on the pricier side for a cafe but none the less we enjoyed it.

    Stacks is a great place to meet because it's right in the middle. My wife was coming from the west I was coming from the east, and Stacks was right off the 99 freeway. We split the avocado BLT sandwich with fries. Service was quick. It's an ample size to plate and it satisfied us both. It was a beautiful day to sit outside. This is a great friendly neighborhood diner. That's perfect for a quick meal.

    Overall food had no flavor. Service was mid however it was a busy Sunday morning. Mimosa was underwhelming.

    I met 4 of my friends here for breakfast & right away, the restaurant was busy at 9:00 on a Saturday. That's how you know it's good. By the time we left, there were several parties waiting to be seated. I love the options & variety on the menu! My friends ordered a ham & cheese omelette, Santa Fe stack, chile verde stack, sides of tomatoes & pancakes (I forgot to take a pic of the pancakes) & I got the eggs Benedict. Everyone loved their food & ate their whole plates. I do have to say that the eggs Benedict were perfectly cooked & packed with rich flavor. I was also able to substitute my potatoes with fruit without an up charge, which is always good in my book! They also accommodated my fruit allergy & removed the melons for me. Such a simple gesture that truly makes all the difference. I also loved their coffee! Everything was reasonably priced! I paid $20 for my meal & coffee. The reason I gave 4 stars is because the service was slow. Our server was Angie & she was wonderful! She was friendly, we made good conversation & she was wonderful about accommodating my allergy, as well an ensuring I got my coffee refills! It was slow when we were waiting to pay. We waited at our table for about 20 minutes with our checks & cards ready. Eventually we all paid using the QR code, which is fine but it would've been better to communicate that they prefer us to pay that way & that they will not take our payment for us at the table. Maybe that's not their protocol & they were simply busy but communication was lost. Other than that, the food was great. I loved it!

    Mimosa Flight

    I would give it a 3.5 starts, not quite 4. Food took a little long to make, and bland- at that! Needed a little more flavor. Salt and pepper wasn't on the table, so I grabbed it from another one across from us. I asked for Tajín rims on our mimosas, didn't get that. Perhaps I'll go another time for redemption, but not anytime soon.

    My pancake with Sugar-free syrup!

    Simply put, Stack's Cafe is a delightful eatery. It is very spacious with excellent lighting and quirky decor. We arrived at 11 this morning and nearly all the tables were occupied. We were seated to the right of the front door. It wasn't the ideal space because each time the door opened and it opened a lot while we sat there, there was a gust of cold wind. Our server was very attentive and apologetic (for the delays). As for the food, every dish was made with love and nuanced with care. We cannot wait to return.

I also have to give Firestone Grill credit for the sauces. They gave me two large containers of BBQ sauce AND two generous containers of dressing. As someone who hates when restaurants give you one tiny sauce for an entire meal, I appreciated that more than I probably should. No sauce rationing over here! I did takeout this time, but they offer self-seating and have a full bar, so next time I definitely want to dine in, grab a drink, and enjoy the full experience

One of our teachers at school entered a drawing for a free catered lunch from Locale Farm to Table, and we were so lucky to win! The drawing was the owner Heather's way of giving back and showing her appreciation for teachers. She was especially touched by our teacher's story, which made the win feel even more meaningful. Many of us who work at the school already dine at Locale and absolutely love the food, so we knew we were in for a treat. Heather brought some of their most popular dishes, including a hot honey goat cheese spread with Pyrenees bread, roasted butternut squash and Brussels sprouts, a fresh garden salad, and a chocolate and strawberry pastry for dessert. Everything was absolutely delicious! What really stood out, though, was how much thought Heather put into making sure everyone could enjoy the meal. She heard that we had some vegetarians among us and went above and beyond by preparing additional dishes without bacon so everyone had plenty to eat. That extra touch meant so much and really showed how genuinely caring and thoughtful she is. Having this incredible meal right before the first day of school was such a special treat. Teachers and school staff work incredibly hard, and feeling appreciated in such a generous way was truly wonderful. Thank you, Heather, for your generosity, kindness, and for supporting our school community! We are so grateful, and, of course, already looking forward to our next visit to Locale!
