    Fried steak with gravy, eggs & potatoes
    Ms Darth V.

    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

    This place is awesome. Great service. Great ambience. Portions are huge. The food is delicious. They currently hold the crown. For. Best chicken, fried steak in my book! Worth the drive!

    Waffle combo with a side of pancake, chorizo burrito with avocado

    Amazing food, amazing fast service and very kind servers and staff my husband is a VERY picky eater I can never take him anywhere but surprisingly he absolutely LOVED this place and it's now our regular spot for some good breakfast (: (although they do serve lunch & dinner as well) also their waffles, pancakes and toast are super huge I love it !!!!

    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.

    Spicy Sausage Patty and Eggs!!!!

    This is one of our favorites to visit!!! This maybe be our regular spot on Wednesday's since they have my favorite, Navy Bean Soup. It is loaded with chunks of ham and car and celery and of course Navy Beans!!! It has the right consistency and fill with awesome flavors!!!! The service is always some of the best in Bakersfield. It's nice to walk in a see some familiar faces and listen to the servers greeting them will you have your usual!!!!

    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.

    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.

    Sugar Mill Sat morning. Wife and I ordered cornbeef, pancakes, bacon and eggs. Inside area was clean and cozy. Food was great although too much. Service was outstanding and offered us free desert for our anniversary. 5

    Once again I went to the Sugar Mill. Once again I was not disappointed. Excellent food. Ate the fish again so no new pictures, but still perfection.

She comes from LA so we meet halfway. She is so nice and so friendly. She really won my heart! This is the second time we meet in Bakersfield. I had this place saved for a while now so I was excited for the visit there. We got there and they sat us almost right away. They have a cute lobby before the entrance to the restaurant. There is an old telephone booth and Christmas decorations. Johnny brought us the menu and it was the lunch menu. I saw on line that they had some great food for breakfast and Te-see asked him about it. He told us they were still making breakfast so I got happy. I ordered a coffee with cream and he brought it in a little tray with the creamer on the side. The table was a little wobbly and the coffee spilled all over the tray. Luckily Te-see got that fixed with a sugar packet. Jonny brought me another tray with coffee and cream. Almost everything was plant base, some egg and chicken but definitely no red meat. Unless I didn't see it. So I ordered the chilaquiles rojos and my daughter the Happy-go-Lucky-bowl. Te-see got the torta española and slew got a pancake to shared. All the food came very fancy well presented. Almost like magazine perfect. I loved them. We were taking videos and pictures as we should like a truly Yelpers that we are. Haha! The food was so tasty and flavorful. I loved my chilaquiles. They were perfect for my palate. They were crunchy and still with the flavor of the sauce. So delicious. They came with a little bowl of beans from the olla. (Freshly cooked) Te-see mention that her torta española was great as well. It came with some green salad. And it did really look so good. My daughter got the Happy-go-lucky-bowl. I was surprised she liked it. It was so beautiful presented. Sorry I already mention that. But yes it was pretty. There was berries melon, pineapple. She said it was really good and filling. She couldn't finish it. The pancake we order to share was so healthy made with all the good grains like chia, hemp seed, brown rice, oat flour. So good. It had some bananas and berries on top. Really delicious. I want to go back again just writing about it. I may go back and order different things from the menu. The bathrooms are very clean. Also maybe restaurant is part of the hotel

We finally decided to try Huevo House, and with a name like that I was expecting both cuisines, but I wasn't expecting the Mexican flavors to be this good! The menu was a decent size--one side for breakfast and the back for lunch. I didn't look at the lunch side, but the breakfast options were great: plenty to choose from without feeling overwhelming. They serve pozole on Fridays and Saturdays and menudo on Sundays. The pozole was full of flavor and honestly one of the highlights of our visit. Thank goodness we finally found a place that satisfies us both! I ordered the Country Benedict and he ordered the Brunchiladas--both dishes were delicious and came in generous portions. We also tried the Abuelita Latte and the Mazapán Latte. Both were very good, just on the sweeter side, so if you're not into sweet coffee definitely ask for half sweet. Our server was attentive and informative. She took great care of us and even made conversation, which added to the overall experience. Overall, such a good visit. We'll definitely be back!

Here's why they have an award: Upon arrival, you'll notice Bakersfield locals come here. We waited about 20 mins as it was quite full inside and we arrived during a Saturday morning (on Valentine's Day). All sorts of guests visit, families, couples, seniors etc. I overheard the regulars say there's excellent mimosas here, I didn't try them but they looked good. Each patron had something positive to say and had a fun little story about their visit to Scrambled. As for my meal, my Mom and I both got cafe de olla which is essentially a Mexican blend of coffee with a hint of cinnamon. Fantastic! Next, I knew this place was known for its Mexican breakfast AND scrambles, so I decided to try the best of both worlds. I ordered a chile verde scramble. The flavor was really good, everything felt homemade. The meat could've been slightly more juicy, but everything worked so well I didn't mind it. The ambiance was moderately noisy, yet relaxed. I got an authentic cafe vibe here as my Mom and I were able to hold a conversation without having to raise our voices. My Mom said she got an authentic Mexican cafe vibe, I can see it! Everyone was super sweet and professional, I felt right at home.
