Copes is back to 5 stars with their great comfort food. The chicken fried steak, chicken fried chicken and ribeyes are made like they were on my first visit. Biscuits and gravy and hash-browns are cooked perfectly! I always loved the employees and servers, they are quality! The fluffy pancakes, the Eggs Benedict, Roast Beef and home made Reuben sandwiches have been perfect lately. The cobbler and french fries, so good! Their chili verde omelette is excellent! read more

Went to Knotty Pine this morning for breakfast and was excited to try it again after many years. The service was amazing. Our waitress was super sweet and very attentive, making sure to refill coffee promptly and checking that everything was OK. The coffee was great and they had a sugar dispenser rather than the sugar packets which is always something I appreciate. The food was just OK. The gravy was good, but I wasn't a fan of the ridiculously large sausage patty, and my pancake was so rubbery on one side that I couldn't even cut through it with my fork. I've never had that issue with a pancake in my life. Very off-putting. Doubt I'll return. read more

I loved everything here!!!! Bathrooms super clean, menu was great. They have options for people who don't eat a lot but want a full breakfast. I got the option of "one egg, country potatoes and toast bread". Waitresses are great and super nice I would love to come back! read more

Probably the most home made tasting biscuits and gravy you can get in Bakersfield. Always good. And very consistent.

Had a great chicken sandwich and some clam chowder. It was great. The Manager was also my waitress She was very good at her job. I had a great time. I'll be back read more

Literally the fluffiest biscuits we've ever had!! Super clean and very cute inside. I don't think my coffee cup ever got less than 3/4 full. The service was awesome. Will definitely be stopping in again on our next road trip. read more

A classic breakfast destination- The staff is on it! You'll never run out of water or coffee with this crew on staff. Our server was very professional, efficient, and had a great sense of humour. I ordered 2 biscuits and gravy for the table as an appetiser and our server was kind enough to split on 2 plates. The biscuits were fluffy and very tasty. My buddy ordered a cheese burger and fries, I know it was good because he pounded it in a few minutes and looked stuffed. My chicken fried steak was crispy on the outside and the meat was tender. The only reason I'm not giving this place 5 stars you ask? I had to salt just about everything on the plate. I'm not sure if that's a bad thing, but I had to add a lot of salt to the gravy, fries, eggs, and hash browns. Some people like it that way, but I think the cooks should add a little bit of salt to remove the bland. This place is a local treasure and I think you should checkout out if you like traditional American diners. read more

Omgoodness this place is a literally slice of heaven. The food was so good. It is so small on the outside, I passed right by it. Once I realized where I was going, I noticed that I missed it because it had the parking lot FULL of work trucks. Now.....we KNOW it is gonna have some good food if it is PACKED on a Wednesday morning. Surprisingly it didn't take long to get a table. The food arrived quickly and man oh man.....it was so good. We will definitely come back next time we are in the area. read more

Very cute little cafe. A great spot for breakfast or brunch! The food was great! It's so hard to find a cafe that actually makes country potatoes extra crispy. They cooked mine to perfection! A perfect crunch yet still soft on the inside! I was pleasantly surprised. The food is delicious and the service was just as great. I don't remember the waitress that helped us but she was a sweetheart!! Very accommodating! Also their biscuits were FAR from dry (another issue I run into at other cafes)! A very solid restaurant with a. Good atmosphere, good service, and great food! read more

We needed someplace for brunch after my aunt's graveside service. I contacted Knotty Pine a few days beforehand & they were very accommodating & friendly, offering to put aside some tables for our group of nine. The place is small & you almost miss it but was obviously busy. We were seated almost immediately. The place was hopping with booths, tables & a counter. The interior was rustic & clean. Their menu was extensive and modestly priced. We ordered a variety of breakfast & lunch items and everyone enjoyed their meals. The portions are generous. I'm always eager to try a restaurants biscuits & gravy; the sausage gravy was very tasty although the biscuit was a bit on the dry side. Our server was friendly and provided quick service. We would definitely return. read more

Always happy when I get to stop by for breakfast. Still my favorite place in Bakersfield for a good meal. The chicken fried steak is always delicious, the gravy is perfection. It makes two meals for me and then I bring home half for my son. The breakfast burrito is gigantic and easily can feed two people. Service is always spot on, your drink will never be empty. read more

I had the pastrami sandwich and I will never get another one anywhere else! Yes it's that good. Huge portion. You have to eat quite a bit of the meat before you can begin to pick up the sandwich. It's ginormous! I got animal fries. Which they serve differently every time. Hey I don't care, surprise me. Our waitress is great. She knows our order when we come in. I highly recommend the pastrami sandwich. read more

What an excellent place to enjoy lunch or brunch. This place has really friendly staff, amazing service, and large portion. They have one of the best fried green beans i've had. Their fish and chips are extremely flavorful and crispy. The batter was crunch and not too dense. The fish was tender and juicy. Finally, their chilis cheese fries were amazing too. Staff couldn't be more friendly and attentive. read more

A group of friends and I were spending the weekend in Bakersfield and decided to meet up for breakfast at the Knotty Pine. Immediately upon arrival we loved the carved wooden bear and eagle on the roof--as well as the kind of "log cabin" decor inside. We told them we'd have 6 people but only 4 of us were already there, but they were able to seat us right away once they pushed two tables together. Two of our friends were running late, but our server happily put in their food order as soon as they were able to send it to us by text message! All the portions were huge. Really impressive. I ordered the ham steak, which was an old school-style slab of ham with the bone still in--and it took up my entire plate! On a separate plate I got eggs (scrambled with cheese) and breakfast potatoes and for my "toast" side, I got a pancake (which was crispy on top and soft and gooey in the middle and bottom, really good). Everybody loved their food and especially raved about the biscuits (which I myself didn't get to try). Our server rolled with the punches despite the restaurant being pretty busy on a Sunday morning, and she split our bill into 3 separate checks with no complaints. Homey, friendly, lots of character. Wonderful. read more

We were looking for a good basic breakfast. Yelp brought us to Cope's Knotty Pine Cafe. We were greeted as soon as we stepped in. Our party of two was seated in a room that wasn't being used at the time but we soon had company. I've never been a fan of being seated where no one else is because sometimes the host and the staff don't communicate and no one knows that you're there. Not the case here. Everyone that we spoke to was friendly and looked happy to be at work. We were a couple of opposites today. She choose the waffle with blueberries. The blueberries were mixed into the batter before the waffle was cooked. Other than being a little light in color and therefore not super crispy, it was good. Douse it with syrup and smear on the butter and we have a winner. Food score - 3. Mine was a bit more challenging. I ordered the Chicken Fried Steak with Gravy, Eggs - over easy, Biscuit and Gravy as my bread choice and Hash Browns, Lonnies Style which adds Bacon, Onions and Cheese for just $2 more. I'm afraid the steak was way too large and tough, the breading fried hard; the gravy was simply too thick and needed to be blended down so that it didn't coagulate which made it less than appealing to the eye. The hash browns were very good and the eggs were perfect. I was too tired from fighting with the steak to even play with the biscuit. Too much food for not enough money but too many little errors made it still not worth the money paid. Food score - 2. read more

The food is great no complains there which is why I gave them 2 stars instead of 1. I have been here numerous times and the girls that have seated my family the past 3-4 have been awful. In my last encounter they told us you can sit over there didn't even point or walk us to the table, which is fine but the attitude on her was uncalled for. They always seem annoyed and turn their back to you while ordering your drinks. Not only that they don't write down the drinks and don't bring all the drinks ordered. If they cannot remember they should write it down. We have been sat sitting for up to 30 mins with no menus and when the server finally comes after another 30 we still need menus. A simple 2 sec check in between tables would be okay even if wait was the same. Even the chain breakfast stops have better service. Honestly, from the 1st time here to now it is a complete 180, seems employees need some manner courses and some customer service lessons. Will not be coming back. read more

Great customer service and delicious food. Large portions and they even customize your order. This is a for sure a place to repeat!
