We enjoyed the food (breakfast) and we have had Moriah as a server every time. She is a young lady who has her life planned and working hard to accomplish her goals. The inside has totally been changed from being a pizza place making the ambiance and environment very comfortable. It's open breakfast and lunch has booths, tables and service bar. I think it would be a great place to have a large gathering at night with buffet set up on service bar and the openness of the rooms would allow a flow that would make for a nice evening sans alcoholic beverages.

Visited as we live close & always love trying out new breakfast local spots. This location was the former Me-n-Ed's and the interior has minor changes to the decor yet I loved the photographs of Bakersfield landmarks. We visited last Sunday morning & were greeted promptly. Noticed there was one waitress and one chef and a full restaurant. With that our waitress still was checking in regularly and our food came out quickly! My son ordered the Mickey Mouse pancake breakfast which was super cute and he loved it. I ordered the chicken and waffles and the portions was generous! Buttery waffle and crispy flavorful juicy chicken (the chicken is boneless and basically a chicken strip). My husband ordered the chile verde stack and typically my husband loves anything chile verde yet he found his breakfast just a little underwhelming as his chile verde had little meat. As to the lone waitress and chef...you two did an amazing job keeping up with tables and orders. Can't wait to come back to try other items! read more

Invited a friend to breakfast. I'd heard about Bella's, so we went. It was a holiday Monday morning. The place was open. Only two tables were full. We were seated immediately and drink orders were taken. We checked out the menu. Lots of good looking choices. I went with basic French toast and sausage links. My friend ordered the pecan waffle and bacon. First off, coffee was good...dark and flavorful. Food came pretty fast. My order was basic, but exactly what I wanted. My friend said the pecan waffle was decadent. The place filled up as we ate and chatted. Service was good. Servers were friendly. Definitely worth another visit to try different dishes! read more

Bella’s Diner - Top: pecan waffle with bacon. Bottom: French toast with sausage links - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bakersfield, California

The inside is nicely adorned with some Bakersfield photos on the wall, restaurant itself is well-lit and clean. It did have a considerable amount of people coming in - quite unexpected since this restaurant was new to me. Service was fast and excellent. Just had my favorite - eggs, hash, and bacon. I think my dish was cooked well, may be a bit under-flavored but you can always ask for condiments. Not bad, might explore their menu some more! read more

I like Bells's diner this restaurant has good food, good service, nice and relaxing

The service was amazing. The ambiance is like homey, lovely, and genuine place that you will love to come to have a nice breakfast meal. I haven't tried lunch or dinner yet but I soon will. read more

The restaurant is clean and spacious. There are some stock images of food on the wall for decoration. The waitstaff is nice, but I was left a bit underwhelmed, having read other reviews that said they were met with amazing customer service and hospitality. I ordered a bacon waffle, which stated on the menu that it comes with butter and syrup. When I received my waffle, it had no butter. No biggie. I asked one of the waitresses if I could have some, as I recall it being on the menu. She then told me that it doesn't actually come with butter, despite the menu saying it does. Which I thought was odd... but nonetheless, I got some butter. It was okay. The waffle was a little dry and the bacon is more sprinkled on top than stuffed. Please take items off the menu if they do not come with the food or item ordered. read more

I've been passing by this place a few times and I decided to have breakfast here with my sister and I am glad we did. The food portion was just perfect and it had a lot of flavors to my liking. I ordered the California Omelette with country potatoes and a side of sourdough toast-- and everything was delicious! The inside was spacious and the food tasted like I was eating at someone's home-- which in my opinion was very comforting. Our server was nice and friendly and she asked if we needed anything frequently. Also, I recommend trying their Pecan Waffles! I made the mistake in eating this last so the whip cream melted a little bit but it was still delicious and adding the maple syrup made up for it. read more

Have had breakfast here often. Disappointed this time. Had biscunits and gravy with scrambled eggs . Asked for gravy on the eggs also . Came with a small spoon of gravy on the eggs for which I was charged for a side of gravy. One of our party had eggs Benedict with eggs poached medium well, yolks done. It came with whites barely done and yolks not at all. She asked to be redone.It was obvious the cook was aggavlatef and sent the orider to her with eggs fried hard instead of poached. My wife asked a to go cup with tea and was charged for a complete new order for her drink. We're not poor and it wasn't the money, just the principle. Too many other places for breakfast. Won't be back. read more

Everything was really good again. It's nice in here. Quiet service is good always really good breakfast. The food was great. Ask for Denali she is a great waitress read more

Went for breakfast, place was ok. Service adequate, food was edible but nothing to write home about... not a lot of parking...

Bella's Diner is in the same strip mall where we have our UPS box. They have been in the old Me N Ed's location for a couple of months now. Today was our first visit of what I expect will be many more. The food here is cooked to perfection. I had the Country Breakfast. Perfect over medium eggs, perfect blanched and refried country potatoes, perfectly baked biscuits, and perfect sausage gravy. Did I say perfect enough? No! My wife's BLT had perfect thick cut bacon and perfect french fries. I also liked the dining area. There was comfortable space around all the tables. You aren't crammed like sardines. Our server was prompt and friendly. The food prices are reasonable. We will be going back. Oh, before I forget. I don't know where they get their coffee but it was perfect too. read more

If you're in the area and want a solid breakfast with service that makes you feel at home, this is the spot. I'll definitely be back -- probably tomorrow. Highly recommend! read more

Nice little diner serving breakfast and lunch. We stopped by for lunch and we all ordered a burger... The burgers are tasty and very large. To be honest any of their burgers would be too large for my wife to eat and the menu says all of their burgers are two patties... I would suggest having an option to at least have a single patty for someone that can't eat or doesn't want such a big burger... We will give them a try to breakfast in the near future... read more

Restaurant was clean, food was good but nothing out of the ordinary. I would eat here again if I was close by.

Shared the French toast with banana and caramel drizzle and the Colorado stack with my daughter. Portions were perfect. Dishes were flavorful. Home style environment with friendly staff. We will definitely visit again. read more

Fourth time coming here and unfortunately it's the last. First few times were 5 stars for food and service. The meal I had today wasn't good. I ordered corned beef hash and eggs. The corned beef was out of a can with the little potatoes cut up in it. The country potatoes tasted as if they weren't washed properly, the scrambled eggs and biscuits were ok. I wanted to send the corned beef back and ask for something else but the servers were busy talking to each other and only came to the table at the end of the meal. My brother's toast was burnt and he had some weird black grease on the edge of his plate. I should note that I've had the Irish Benedict there before and they use a different corned beef for some reason. I went there once a week for the last month and always tip at least a $20 bill, today the bill was $45 and I left $55, if the food and service were even 3 stars, I would have just left a hundred and let them keep the change. Disappointed to the literal point of no return read more

Clean restaurant. Friendly service. Food is average for the pricing. This actually was my second visit, I definitely will be coming back.

Food was delicious can't complain. Excellent service met with a smile. Nice music, very clean establishment.

Me and my fiancé had the absolute pleasure of stumbling in this place while driving back up to sac from a LA trip. WE LOVEDDD this place. The staff super friendly. The food flavorful and rich. I got the mimosa flight and it was yummy along with the chile verde stack which was quite filling. My fiancé got the chicken and waffles with a coffee. Both leaving full and happy . Wish we didn't live 4hrs away but now we will def stop by anytime we decided to travel down from Sacramento! read more

I've been waiting to see when this pot was going to open up and today while taking my kids to school I saw that it was open so I called my wife and we headed over there to check it out. First impression is that it looks way bigger than Me n Ed's that used to be here. The server and service was prompt and welcoming. Overall food selection was good and my wife decided on the chicken fried steak and I chose the banana cream pancakes. Over all the food was good and prices were reasonable will definitely be going back. read more

This was the first time my husband and I tried Bella's Diner and it did not disappoint. We got the chili verde stack and the caramel banana French toast and they were so delicious.

The service was great and the food was delicious. It was quiet, clean and I got my food quickly. I would come here again :)

Went this Saturday (10.18.25) and the food was great! I had the double Mac n cheese burger and loved it. It came with fries which were a touch bland but added some salt and it was perfect. The service was a little slow at first but our waitress was great! Very attentive and welcoming. The tables are also really well spaced which is nice. Didn't feel like we were gonna bump into anyone or be drowned out by other tables talking. Would definitely be coming back. I want to try a griddle breakfast item next. read more

Chicken Fried steak and eggs was good. Hash browns had no flavor. Service was great. The ambiance is an open floor concept restaurant. My husband and I got one order and split our breakfast since we don't eat a lot. We were charged a dollar extra for splitting our breakfast which we were surprised when we got our bill. read more

We went into Bella's diner to give the new place a try. First of all they don't have a senior menu for adults that don't eat large portions. Secondly, they will not let you order off of a child's menu to get a smaller portion. I do not recommend Bella's diner. This is not how customer should be treated. How would you not have a senior person's menu? There are many seniors in Bakersfield and not all of us have big appetites we will be going back to Lorraines. read more

Food was awesome, the pancakes were some of the best pancakes I've had. Garden scramble with potatoes was delicious as well. The sever was fantastic, very prompt and kind to us. The wait was good we did not even wait a second (Written by an 11 year old) read more

Good service great price tasty food. Most importantly my wife likes it!!! Oh and clean

Had the southern stack! Very satisfied with it. Food is presented really well too. Fast service and an underrated place.

Just had breakfast at Bakersfield's newest diner. The food was good in the service was great. Mariah was my server she was very knowledgeable and gave some recommendations. The inside decorations are nice they have large photographs on the wall of downtown Bakersfield the Fox theater and the Bakersfield sign just to name a few. Overall I had a great experience looking forward to going back and trying lunch. read more

Food wasn't that good. Service was dull. The ambiance of the place needed more excitement and the servers could've been friendlier.
