We were greeted warmly and were seated right away as soon as we walked in. The place feels so homey and looks like everyone knows everyone (place filled with locals and regulars). The place looked clean and organized too. We ordered the following; - hot chocolate: tasted like a super watered down powdered nesquick. We took a sip and put it aside. - biscuits and gravy: the biscuits were soggy and crumbling. Gravy was bland too - monte cristo: had a very weird aftertaste. The ham did not taste good at all and it did not taste like any other monte cristos I've had before -pancake: it was mid. Nothing special The service was top tier but food was not it at all. read more

My waiters were the best , made this experience even better . I genuinely enjoyed the company and the delicious recommendations they provided, I believe her name was Kaitlyn( Katy ) . I tried their pancakes , veggie grilled fajitas and the delicious breakfast potato's as my side. I will come back soon to try the peach cobbler. I will also need to come back earlier to have the infamous butter biscuits. Great "mom & pop" owned joint . I love the vintage feel to it . read more

The Sugar Mill - Today's Breakfast, Really great. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Bakersfield, California

A very cute diner in Oildale. Our waitress was so sweet and informative. I told her it was our first time and she told us she'd hope we would return and become regulars. Her endearing hospitality won me over. As for the food, whoa, baby! The portions are very generous. I had leftovers. The quality of food was superb. Everything was well-seasoned. The prices were very reasonable. We are looking forward to returning soon. read more

This place was ok in my book and it's too bad because I've heard really good things about it. My fried steak tasted a little toooo greasy. I couldn't get past that taste. The potatoes were absolutely delicious. The pancakes were amazing too. Our waitress was a hoot. Funny and super friendly. My coffee was always full and they check on you often. Overall good visit. I'll comeback to try something else next time read more

Service was shittt the place smelled like rats live in it looks like roaches Hoover all over the place! Don't recommend at all! COOPERATE NEEDS TO SHUT THIS PLACE DOWN!! read more

They have good food. Generous portions, my only gripe was it was busy. Only had to wait 10 minutes to get seated. But waited 25 minutes before someone took our drink order and 45 minutes to get our food order taken. After that it was reasonable time before our food came. It was on a Sunday after church so maybe it was just too busy. I have been there before at a different time and the experience was great. I won't go there on a Sunday again. read more

We went here last week for a work lunch. I got the half sandwich with a cup of soup. It happened to be Albondigas for the soup of the day and oh em gee! That soup was FULL of flavor. Some of the best Albondigas I've ever had and I make a mean meatball soup myself! Our server was lovely and helpful. My co-worker who wasn't there had wanted an old menu item that was no longer available...she made the necessary modifications and got him something by very similar to what he was craving. The service is usually fast and is always a great environment. Definitely recommend if you are in the mood for some good ol' country comfort food. read more

The Sugar Mill is kern county staple it's been around for years and I finally got myself to break away from my usual go to breakfast spots and try some place different. I have to say it was okay not great I was kinda disappointed that the Gravy wasn't homemade it was a typical food service bag gravy although the biscuits seemed to be made in house the gravy was the bummer. The pancakes were pretty good and my wife's Chicken fried steak was pan fried but seemed to be lacking a bit of seasoning. The country potatoes were pretty delicious. In my honest opinion I'd give the food a 3.5 I decided to give it 4 stars on Yelp because the service was great the staff was friendly and attentive. Maybe on the next go around I'll try something different on the menu and update my review. read more

Don't get me wrong, I really like their food. However, last time I was there, I was waiting at the front. I saw one of the waitresses fondling peoples food with her bare hands. She lifted up a blueberry pancake with her bare hand, then grabbed a second pancake with her bare hand and added it to the plate. Then she was picking up pieces of watermelon from the side of fruit, again, with her bare fingers. Then she wiped her hand on her apron. This food then got served to a customer. Servers need a refresher on proper handling of people's food and basic cleanliness. I had already eaten at this point, which makes me wonder if my food was touched with bare hands as well. Not sure if I'll be back anymore after this... read more

Best chili verde breakfast burrito anywhere. I am a regular. I don't need to try anything else. It's all I want.

The Sugar Mill has a lot of regulars. We came by one weekday morning, and the place was hopping with business. The staff seemed to know most of the folks by name. Good old diner style feel! Wifey and I shared two entrees. The Grilled Pork Chop entree and the Chile Verde Skillet. The pork chop tasted too dry. Would try the breaded pork chop next time. The Chile Verde was a nicer option in my opinion. Tasted pretty darn good, and the portion size was generous. The Sugar Mill has plenty of other items to try on their menu. Look forward to dining more here in the future. Friendly customer service goes a long way. read more

Me and my daughter ordered the pancake breakfast. She requested the blueberry and I got regular. Pancakes are a solid 9/10. Daughters are 8/10. They are Fluffy Buttery Moist Yummy Is the plate aesthetically pleasing? No. That's why they get 4 out of 5. The eggs and sausage taste decent. Staff is friendly. Clean environment. Definitely recommend their pancake breakfast! I have also have their CFS and it the the best out of all the others I have tried so far in Bakersfield. read more

We have eaten take out from here and every time it was delicious. When I pick up our food the inside is busy

Delicious old school diner food. I've never been disappointed by the food I've gotten from TSM- and I've gone off and on for over twenty years. My husband loves that they incorporate unique touches to classics (like the Greek omelette with feta), while I love that they have all the classics. Classic old school leather booths, low lighting, and family friendly music. All of the staff is kind and will happily help give some suggestions if you aren't sure which item to try next. If you go on a Saturday, try the 15 bean soup; loaded with bacon and hot link, you won't regret it! read more

Super tasty! Large portions and tons of potatoes on your plate. Would totally eat there again.

My last visit was with coworkers and this time I brought my wife for breakfast. We were greeted and seated fairly quickly. The restaurant looks outdated, but don't let that discourage you from visiting. The restaurant was busy, but the food was flowing. I ordered the country fried steak breakfast with country potatoes. The fried steak looks like it is made on site and the gravy to. Im not a big gravy fan but this was good. It was a decent size and along with the sides, it was filling. My wife who is a picky eater, got the French Toast Combo and she really liked the French toast. I was surprised to see her finish off her plate! The service was good, coffee was hot and the food was good. Bill was about $30 bucks before tip. Overall, I enjoyed everything and I will be returning in the near future. I recommend trying it out. This is my 2 cents. read more

The Sugar Mill is usually busy it's one of the better sit down restaurants in Oildale. There are a number of homeless people around. The front door locks like it's been broken into a number of times. The furniture tables carpets are well worn almost trashed. The food is good the prices are reasonable and you get large portions. Most people leave with doggie bags. It never looks very clean but it passes health department inspections. The food is good enough to return to. read more

My grandma recommended this place to eat after church. Safe to say it's a great small business. They love their senior citizens and have often regulars that love this place. Was a great environment and solid food. Only thing they can work on is the service. Maybe they were understaffed but they seemed over worked which made their ability to provide phenomenal customer service harder as they had a lot to do. They're hard workers all in all but could probably use some help read more

The servers are so nice. The grilled chicken salad was amazing! Everyone in my party enjoyed their food.
