Look at how small the 6.30$ shake is, and the 2 pathetic "waffles". 36$ total! Ridiculous.

I paid nearly 40$ for 2 pieces of chicken, the 2 smallest waffles I've ever seen a restaurant serve, and a milkshake. Talk about low quality and high prices! This place is a complete rip off! I even had to verify with the staff that the waffles are mini sized. I will NEVER return. Disappointed is an understatement. AVOID AT ALL COSTS, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Only reason for this star is service was good. We ordered the senior pancake and then a two egg breakfast. Asked if it was possible to substitute hashbrowns rather than the meat with the senior and was told yes (never told it was an extra charge). Then they charge extra when ordering biscuits and gravy with a meal?!? So we got two scrambled eggs, 2 eggs , 2 sides of hash browns, biscuit n gravy, pancake, and 2 cups of coffee and it was almost $40!!?!? And this is at Denny's?! For crap food?!? Never again!

Value slam

It's usually not busy after the breakfast/lunch rush. But I often crave pancakes at any time of day. They have an every day value slam $6.48 plus tax all day every day. Comes with 2 eggs two bacon or sausage and 2 pancakes. It's delicious affordable and filling. The to go order is packaged nicely with the eggs/meat in a compartment separate from the the pancakes.

Breakfast slam

Food was great, good service, and atmosphere was relaxed. Didn't take long to be seated.

Cucumbers with freezer burn. They were mushy and tasted nasty. This was on my Cobb salad. They charged me full price.

First of all, I have to say our server Veronica was great. She is the reason I am increasing my rating from 1 star to 2 stars. She greeted us with a smile and although she had a lot of tables to wait on she didn't make us feel rushed. I am also very patient with businesses right now because I am very aware of staffing issues and how they are impacting speed of service. We are all human and can only do so much. Because of this, I didn't really worry when we were seated for 9 minutes without a single offer of beverages. Looking around I could see that there was very few staff members working. Then Veronica came over with a smile and friendly quips and took our orders. They were out of the chicken noodle soup that I ordered and she didn't rush me while I looked at the menu to choose an alternative. My son and daughter ordered the Tennessee Chicken Sandwich and fries, which was not bad. Nothing special to write home about but not bad. My daughters boyfriend ordered a pancake breakfast which he enjoyed. My husband ordered a build your burger with a side of mashed potatoes and gravy. His meat patty was not seasoned and the chef omitted part of his add ins. The gravy was dull and flavorless. I ordered a Cobb salad and asked for no bacon and a grilled chicken breast on the side. The chicken breast was pretty good. A little on the rubbery side, but seasoned well and served at the right temperature. However, I was missing my boiled egg on the salad, and the cucumbers and lettuce had what appeared to be freezer burn. They were inedible and mushy with a horrible taste. I ate my chicken and was going to eat the cherry tomatoes. Both my husband and I popped a cherry tomato (or grape tomato?) in our mouths at the same time and promptly spit them out into our napkins. They were disgusting, seemingly affected by the same freezer burn as the rest of the salad. Also there was a big chunk of the core of the lettuce on my plate. Yuck. Our waitress was on break. I did not eat the salad. All I ate was the chicken , which I was perfectly happy paying for. When my husband went to pay he told the girl that my salad was inedible and her response was basically, "oh well. Too bad." She wouldn't adjust the check to delete the inedible Cobb salad that was still sitting on the table and didn't seem to care. That was the point where Dennys could have redeemed themselves. If she had apologized and adjusted the bill I would probably not have written this review or I would have given them 3 stars. Bad food coupled with bad service (after Veronica went on break) created a very bad experience. I have included pictures of my salad and you can clearly see the cucumbers are bad. The lettuce and tomatoes were too but it's harder to see in the pictures. You can also see the core. I had already eaten my chicken, which was ok. Come on Dennys...up your game. I know you're not an elevated dining experience but we do expect our food to be edible and service to be responsive. You're lucky you have Veronica at the Rosedale Promenade to at least rate an extra star.

This spot serves up…read morea major old-school diner vibe, and the hospitality matches the atmosphere, we were seated immediately, and our server was incredibly attentive throughout the meal. The Dish: I went with the pumpkin pancakes topped with pecan butter, plus a side of bacon. Fun fact: this exact dish was actually featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives! The Flavor Profile: To say these pumpkin pancakes were good is an understatement, they were absolutely to die for. As the pecan butter melted over the top, it created the perfect rich sauce, and the crunchy pecan bits scattered throughout the pancakes gave every single bite an amazing texture. Eating this felt exactly like a cozy October morning. The Verdict: Between the perfect diner nostalgia and those incredible pancakes, this breakfast was a total home run. If you're looking for ultimate comfort food that lives up to the TV hype, this place is a must-visit!

Our waiter spilled an entire tray of iced teas and waters next to/on us, and then left to change his apron and serve other tables while we sat dripping and ignored for nearly 15 mins until I had to flag someone down to help us clean because my shoes were soaked through and the liquid river continued under our table (he handed me a few napkins until I insisted on an actual mop, which he obliged with an audible sigh). Someone finally put down a wet floor sign, and considering all the elderly diners they didn't seem concerned about the giant puddle in the walkway that went ignored. I don't care about the spill, but just apologize and clean up - don't disappear and then come back only to announce that you're going on break. We finally got another server to take our order, but it was such an odd "we don't like non-locals" vibe that we ate quickly and got outta there. We pass through Bakersfield often during road trips, but will skip this next time.

Service was fast, staff was pleasant so everything was fantastic! So far, food has been good and I definitely will come back. It's way on the other side of town for me, but it's nice seeing lots of brunch options in Bakersfield these days. Breakfast is my absolute favorite meal of the day, so it's nice to know I have another option. There's lots of parking which is a plus, the other places struggle with parking which makes it hard to visit. Restaurant looks clean, it looks family oriented and they have tons of options for the family. They have tons of tables too, so there's room for everyone. The place stays busy so you know the food is fresh and they keep your coffee cup filled.

MAN'S BEST FRIEND Omelette $18.59 sausage, bacon, ham, cheddar & monterey jack cheese. I added diced onions. I ordered the hash brown option and pancake. Per their website, one of their specialties are the "fluffy pancakes". Omelette had decent amounts of diced ham, sausage and bacon. I found this to be an omelette large enough to share. Hash browns were standard. Pancake was okay but nothing truly spectacular, just average in taste. The pancake was oversized enough to share. Overall I gave this a 8/10 2. PAUL BUNYAN $21.99, two eggs, two bacon, two sausage, a 1/2 pound ham. Ordered with country potatoes and Rye toast. The bacon was amazing!! Thick cut bacon and cooked to perfection. Overall the breakfast was your standard breakfast and definitely large enough to share. 8/10 Restaurant was clean, tables were cleaned off as soon as customers left. And restrooms were clean and fully stocked. Plenty of free parking. Waitstaff were friendly and efficient. The ambiance is pretty laid back. They also have an ice cream bar with 26 gourmet ice cream flavors.

I honestly can't believe it took a horrible experience at a new establishment to finally bring me here. Customer service is a 10/10 Coffee is a 10/10 Cobbler is a 10/10 but I will say I enjoyed the blackberry cobbler so much more. My baby had the Chicken and Waffle 10/10. The waffle has a similar taste to a fresh waffle cone, so you don't need so much syrup. Double bacon cheese burger with veggies on the side was ordered by my teenager and I must say this is one of the BEST BURGERS BAKERSFIELD HAS TO OFFER! The fries were seasoned perfectly and the meat tasted so fresh, plus the bacon was cooked to perfection 10/10. My big boy ordered the hot links, eggs with county potatoes 10/10 We ordered over medium and they did not disappoint. We arrived a bit late because the biscuits were sold out, so he got some french toast instead 8/10. I ordered the county fried steak which I was amazed on how delicious it was and the gravy was great 10/10 I also received country potatoes and eggs 10/10. Bakersfield has resturants that offer country potatoes but unfortunately most places fall short, this place is on point with their seasoning. As you can tell by the pictures my kids left happy and full. This place is so welcoming and the interior is cute, plus their restrooms are super clean. I am such a foodie and I identify as a bigback lol So I will be making this my new go to place, because there is so much more I want to try and they didn't fail my taste buds.

Even with a full house, food comes out of the kitchen in about 15 minutes, which is impressive. Be careful when ordering the Double Cheeseburger -- it's enormous! The patties seem bigger than half a pound each, and the amount of meat is truly impressive. If you're hungry, this is the burger for you. Great food, efficient service, and generous portions at reasonable prices. Let's support America's small businesses!

Most of the staff are great, however, everytime i come with my partner, we cant help but notice that the older waitress Mary gives us a strange type of vibe/treatment everytime we have her as our waitress. She rarely will acknowledge us, one time she walked up to our table and didn't greet us or ask for anything and when we finally said hello first, she didnt greet us back but instead just took our drink order. She also regularly brings us our check before we even finish our first plate, and doesnt do this with other patrons or people sitting. We recently came close to lunch time and quickly handed us our check which we figured that they might charge the difference or recharge us for lunch. However we were the only people in the dining room that she did not offer this upcharge or if we were staying for lunch. Just handed us our check and walked away. We enjoy the food, however, dont always feel welcomed if it makes sense.

Here's a 100+ word Yelp review based on what you described:…read more Firestone Grill is always a solid choice when I'm craving great barbecue. Their tri-tip and chicken combo is one of my favorite meals because both meats are tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The portions are generous, and everything is cooked just right every time I've been there. One thing I can never skip is the fries--they're absolutely amazing. I could honestly eat their fries all day because they're always crispy, seasoned perfectly, and pair with everything on the menu. The staff is friendly, the service is quick, and the restaurant has a fun, laid-back atmosphere. If you're looking for delicious food, great portions, and consistently excellent service, Firestone Grill is definitely worth a visit. It's a place I'll continue coming back to whenever I'm in the mood for a great meal.

The tri-tip sandwich was delicious filled with thick juicy slices with minimal fat on the meat which I greatly appreciated. Next were their dry rub baked wings, the flavor has a bit of kick like a buffalo wing minus the mess, but all the flavor! Hands down one of favorite despite not being a wing person myself. The salads were refreshing we did one southwest and one Cesar both of which can easily be spilt in half and be more than filling!

I hear the burgers here are very good and seen a lot of people with the burger in their hand mostly construction workers that were there at the time .The portions were smaller than I expected for a country cafe, but just enough to almost leave us satisfied. The coffee had a unique taste. I wasn't a fan at first, but after my second cup, it really grew on me and turned out to be a very good cup of coffee. Be sure to arrive before 9:30 a.m. because they can run out of biscuits by then. We arrived at 10:15 and by time they took our order we were told they were out of biscuits. The dining room is also small, seating only about 20 people at most. Carla's Cafe is a little out of the way for me, and probably for most people, but it's well worth the trip. Overall, I'd give Carla's Cafe 4 out of 5 stars. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying a few more entrees.
