    Came for Sunday breakfast because I had business in Delano. Haven't been here since it's name change to Generals so it's been a long time. I had the country fried steak and I loved it! It came with two steaks so I saved one for later. It was so crispy and flavorful. The eggs were just eggs. The country potatoes were a little mushy but it did have some crispy moments to it. And Im so glad that I was able to get pancakes with it too. It comes with a choise of biscuits and gravy, pancakes or toast. So thankfully I got to try the pancakes which were also great as well. My husband got the oreo French toast. The bread was soaked in an egg mixture. You could definitely taste that. It wasn't dry. He finished it all. The only think about their speciality items, which it all looked good....it would cost almost $25 to make it a meal with the eggs and meat. Hence my option of the country fried steak. Otherwise their strawberry cheesecake waffles were looking pretty good on that menu. Only gripe about the place...sticky yucky menus.

    Add this one to your list. Great breakfast. Great smiles and service. Comfortable and quiet place.

    I readily admit to being a food snob, as many of you who follow me should know. Frankly, on a road trip down Highway 99 from Sacramento to Bakersfield, and back, there is very little in the way of good food options. Sorry, but just as I see it, and I have tried again and again to no avail. That takes me here, the General, which I hoped as an independent cafe/diner type restaurant might be the Holy Grail. Unfortunately, no. It's just another roadside 'greasy spoon'. It's not particularly clean looking, but I did see servers diligently sanitizing seats, booths, and tables when people left, a very good sign. The place, however, is a bit weather worn and in need of a good sprucing up. The menu is OK, typical of this type of establishment, plastic and pictures, and not too inspired. I ordered the Santa Fe Grill Sandwich with fries, plus an iced tea. The sandwich was just OK, and yes, alas, greasy. It came with a beautifully grilled pepper, which I typically would love to eat a pepper like that, but it too looked greasy. I could only consume half the fries, unusual for me as I typically woof them down, but not here. Service was good, friendly, which was nice. Lots of local families seem to eat here. I did have high hopes. Oh, well. Next trip - power bars!

    Strawberry lemonade

    Family oriented restaurant. Great customer service, everyone was super friendly. The food was very good and came in big portions. -the strawberry lemonade was very good! You must try it.

    The waitress was super sweet and really nice. I had the breakfast 6oz steak special and they cooked my steak just how I like it, medium rare. The country potatoes though were not the same. But this caramel banana waffle was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Would recommend.

    So I ordered a medium rare steak and I think it was still alive. I was cutting it open and it went "moo".

I'm hot headed so when they look up at me (both of them) and go back to what they were doing with their hands w/o so much as a grunt of acknowledgment, it irks me. working with their hands doesn't require much to say, "hi, we'll/ I'll be with you in a min." Stood there for a minute, thought to myself "are they open? Maybe they're not even open and I just walked in... nah it's 12 on a Tuesday, they're friggin open they're just ignoring me...this happened last time, give it another min THEN go to Subway across the way if they don't come help you in the next 60 seconds." I'm old school, and Ive had the lack of privilege required to end up working customer service before. I was trained to acknowledge customers as soon as they enter the establishment, not actively avoid eye contact with them until you're willing to engage wtf so idk. if that type of customer service leaves a bad taste in your mouth, do online for pick up. They'll ignore you then too, but at least you signed up for the lack of human interaction haha Location is decent but parking lot is tight. Each time I've gone there have been parking spots available and there is a dedicated curbside pick up spot but the area itself is a tight area with lots of traffic. That being said, the sandwich is friggin awesome so who gives a shit about them saying hi when you walk in. Point is, don't be salty about them not acknowledging you if all you want is a good sandwich; if you want someone to ask about your day and validate your existence by saying "hello," go to Starbucks? Superior quality ingredients and superior quantities.

I was craving a nice greasy drive-in burger with a side of fried mushrooms. The burger was good, just like I remember it being. But the side of mushrooms only came with 7 for a price of $5. Not worth it, in my opinion. I paid $14 for my meal without a drink. Will I come back? Sure, if I want to reminisce about my childhood growing up in Delano without a price tag. Maybe I'll give Elmers a visit next time.

Spent $40+ on some garbage. Sorry to say but this was truly garbage. Fried mushrooms come with a baby amount for 5.99. Zucchini is $1.20 each im guessing since I only got 5 pieces that are small. Burrito is literally a hard burnt overly cooked tortilla. And the best thing here is the jalapeño poppers because its most likely store bought. The oil used was the same oil they fry everything and it is probably a month old oil. I ordered this right before lunch time today. Milk shake was also horrible, think they used 1 scoop of ice cream and the rest was mostly milk. This place should be ashamed of themselves. Very poor quality food and probably should be closed down. I rank this place a 0/10. Nothing was decent about this place and its the 2nd time I've ordered from her.
