We were hungry and looking for a local mom and pop place to eat so I jumped on Yelp and found this…read moreplace on the map. I found this place and we had like 40 minutes to get there before they closed. As we started to drive there we were wondering if the GPS was taking us on a wild ride because we ended up driving on some rural roads and thought, there's no way there's a restaurant back here but a few minutes later we arrived to a cute rustic looking caboose looking café. The interior was authentic and rustic and even smelled like real food being cooked on a griddle smell. Our waitress came right over and welcomed us to sit wherever we want to. Their menu was homemade country filled items. I ordered the Club Sandwich which was their daily special and I went with their potatoe salad which is something I don't like to order because it's one of those items that I'm never really sure if its going to be homemade or store bought. My husband went with the cheeseburger and fries. It didn't take long for our meal to arrive. I loved how the plates didn't match, just like at home lol, and the potato salad was homemade and it was good. My Club Sandwich was good and the vegetables were California fresh. My husband said his cheeseburger was cooked right and tasted like it was cooked on a seasoned grill. I definitely know if when we are back in the area, we definitely will be coming back to this little spot.

I called in my order and stopped to pick it up. There were quite a bit of people already in the store ordering food. I overheard one lady telling someone how great the food was and asking what they'd ordered. I ordered the chilaquiles but they forgot to ask me how I wanted my eggs cooked so after I told them I had to wait about 8 minutes for my food. I went with the red salsa and added carne asada with over easy eggs. The bowl was amazing! I will definitely stop back in here for some more great food!

She's a connoisseur of fried chicken, and I felt like having a nice breakfast burrito. We ordered that and we were not disappointed. The people there were working fast and used lots of fresh ingredients. There was about 6 others waiting for their order, and a few in line. Didn't seem crowded, and we got our orders in less than 10 minutes. If you happen to find yourself in Shafter and are looking for comfort food, make a Big Stop here.

There is zero excuse at all for any server, anywhere, to not take care of the basics such as refilling water, iced tea, and coffee for all persons at a table, instead of just one... The cafe was not busy at the time we were there, empty tables, and no line to get in... My food was bad, and the service towards me, even worse... Overall, this server is without excuse... Had I known about the health code violations from last year before going to Knotty Pine today, I would not have gone there at all... One Final Fact... My choice to not leave a tip...(Right)
