I was tired of fast food on our road trip and wanted something more real. We stopped here to check it out and everything about our experience was perfect. From the moment we walked in the door we were greeted within 30 seconds even though the 3 servers on the floor were VERY busy, they got back with us within a minute, sat us, and immediately got a drink order. When they came back they asked if we were ready to order. We were in a hurry, so when the Server came back to quality check our food we ordered dessert to go and asked for the check so we could get back on the road as we were eager to get home. We were so impressed with our service and honestly, the delicious diner food, that we planned to stop here again on our way home from our yearly trip this year. We had a different server this year, but everything about the experience was identical. Wonderful, tasty, timely, kind... Thank you, Willow Ranch staff, we will certainly make you part of our plan every year! I also wanted to note that I am a career server and the details matter to me. It is so amazing when someone like myself can receive the kind of service that I am proud to give when I'm working. I also witnessed the front of house staff engaging in friendly banter with the kitchen staff and I just love that. I am also close with the team on our line and I think that makes a huge difference in the overall performance of the restaurant.

Ok on to the food... I tried a bacon cheeseburger, cheese-sticks, teriyaki chicken, and barbecue chicken. The presentation of the burger is lacking, however I bit into it and the flavor was amazing. Do not let the look fool you. The cheese-sticks were super crunchy and fat. So good but wish they offered marinara instead of ranch. Barbecue chicken was bold and beautiful and little spicy but lacked a little flavor. On the flip side the teriyaki looked blah but was amazing in taste. Service was friendly, and quick.

He had that "mentally on airplane mode" energy -- eyes glazed, soul clearly clocked out, body barely hanging in there. I wasn't sure if he was taking my order or just trying to remember how much fentanyl he took. It's impressive, honestly.

The Build: After asking the very nice workers for a recommendation, I skipped the breakfast burrito and went with the Brioche French Toast, which comes with strawberries, rich butter, and an ample amount of syrup for dipping. I also noticed they had a banana matcha on the menu and just had to try it. The Flavor Profile: Taste-wise, the brioche French toast was absolutely heavenly and did not disappoint. The rich butter melted easily, the strawberries added the perfect touch, and there was plenty of syrup to go around. The banana matcha was an absolute standout as well, honestly one of the best banana matchas I have ever tried. There really wasn't a single letdown with the food or drinks. The Verdict: This is a wonderful, quiet little spot with great service and easy 2-hour street parking right outside. Whether you're looking for a cute place to meet a friend or a nice environment to sit down and do some work, I would highly recommend checking it out.

Since then, I have now visited a few times and I kind of regret not coming earlier. On our last visit a few weeks ago when my youngest was down for spring break we came for breakfast and even my kids were surprised how good the food was. Breakfast is probably my favorite meal of the day and possibly the rest of my family because we all love eggs. My sons definitely want to come back and this place is already a place me and my husband loves to visit now. When you first walk in, you can't help but feel an older diner feel, the decoration is vintage and it almost looks like a restaurant from the 80s. Every time I have visited now, there's always people dining in, so this seems like a nice place Bakersfield people like to visit. The restaurant looks clean, just outdated. Service is always great, we have always been greeted with friendliness and patience because we never know what we want and sometimes we take time to order. Coffee is nice, they make the coffee semi strong which is perfect for me. Parking is a little crazy sometimes because of the surrounding businesses, but if you're like me and lived in Bakersfield for years and haven't visited, then you need to make your way out to check this place out!

This has happened many times! The workers are friendly, but I don't know if they're told to work fast? And that causes many mess ups from my experience. I'd rather wait and get an order I wanted rather than have a rushed latte and have it taste bad. I never like leaving bad reviews, but the other day I was upset because I waste my own money to try and support local businesses, but my latte the other day did not taste like anything but sugar! I tried their pumpkin horchata and it didn't taste like pumpkin. I'm not one to make a scene so I just threw those drinks away. The quality needs to be worked on, because a latte can't just be sugary, it needs flavor. And today is what got me to write a review! I ordered a blended energizer after a long day of school, and it does come blended but there's is too many chunks of ice. The ice was so chunky the drink melted within the first 7 minutes I had it, which should not happen with a blended drink that is made properly.
