    We've eaten here quite a bit over the years, but I've never done a review. The food here is always amazing and the portions are always huge. The service is fantastic and friendly. The inside is kept tidy. They have a grab and go food option for when you're in a hurry. For us the downside is it's on the opposite side of town.

    Chicken fried steak, garlic parmesan potatoes, Mac n cheese.

    My wife and I came here on 4/24/26. Right from the start, the staff was friendly, especially our server Amaya. Amaya went above and beyond throughout our dinner. She even gave us several samples of ice cream, which were delicious. Amaya was very nice and took the time to stop and have conversations with us. Genuinely a nice person! Service was 5 stars. The food was good. The tri tip and chicken fried steak were full of flavor and seasoned well. The only negative we would say about the food is the tri tip was a little on the dry side, and the chicken fried steak was mostly batter. Both still tasted good, though. Just wished the tri tip was juicier and chicken fried steak was proportioned better with meat vs batter. Sides were really good (descriptions in the pics). Food was 4 stars. Atmosphere is very old school feel. They even had the Price Is Right from probably the 70's or 80's playing on the tv. Brought back funny memories. Overall, recommend. Very good local restaurant.

    Hola from the 661! Stopped by Honey I'm Home around 3 PM for breakfast--wow. The food was seriously delicious! Our waitress recommended the chicken fried steak, and it was easily one of the best I've ever had. I even downsized the portion, and it was still huge! My buddy ordered the eggs with biscuits and gravy and couldn't stop talking about how it was one of the best he's had in California. The waitresses were super friendly and helpful, which made the whole experience even better. You won't be disappointed!

    Honey I'm Home is an east side gem. It's inside an older breakfast joint and they've been here for a few years now. I believe they're still getting their design down, while trying to hold down the fort. You'll be greeted by one of the waitresses and on a weekend you might have to wait just a bit but it's worth the wait. They have some great specialty items and some good signature items too. Service is on point and their coffee is brought in by Covenant Coffee, a local coffee maker. I believe for their different breakfast and or lunch selections you get what you pay for and there's no way you'll leave hungry, if so that's totally on you. My usual is the bacon and eggs, where they have a thick cut peppered bacon. Eggs seem to always done just right. More pictures to follow because I know we will be here in the future. No matter what side of town you live in, this place is worth the 15-20 minute drive. Hope everyone can get the same experience we have had and hope to see you at the next one.

    UPDATED REVIEW.. Christina was our waitress and now im gonna have to ask for her everyday I travel here..What a difference the waitress makes. Christina was the best thing that happened to us when walking in this second time at this establishment. She brought food to our table as soon as it came out (as we requested), without anything getting cold. And her attitude and sweetness make me want to come back. We started with the chili verde macaroni and cheese as a side dish to try the chili verde before we decided to order the omelette. The chili verde omelette, which had more chili verde than I've ever seen on a plate, let alone with an omelet, was great. The taste of the chili verde was just enough to give a kick, but not enough to turn you off of eating it. 5/5 stars. Next was the basic Denver ultimate, which my daughter doesn't eat meat, so we asked for the ham on the side. There was plenty of ham on the side, 5/5 stars, enough for me to put on the chili verde omelette. Next was the make your own chicken sandwich, which we ordered with grilled onions, pickles, thousand island, barbecue sauce, fries, and jalapeno. Great chicken sandwich. It was very crispy. However, the batter on the chicken was almost seasoning-less, but nothing hot sauce and ketchup couldn't repair. 4.5/5 stars. Next was the fried chicken combo, which I ordered with their breast and wing, mac and cheese, the house salad, and ranch. The fried chicken breast was thin & tasty, but the mac and cheese was very creamy and cheesy, yet lacked flavor until I added hot sauce. The house salad was very good. I ordered it with no onions. Sidenote (since I am a weird salad eater, I looked at every bite scared I would be eating a snail. No more salad for me, I have a phobia I think). Moving on, last and not least were the two cakes we ordered. One was a strawberry crunch cake, the other was a cherry cheesecake that I do not know the name of. The strawberry crunch cake was absolutely very good but super sweet. 4/5 stars. The cherry cheesecake item was the best dessert I had eaten outside of the house in a long time. 4.7/5 stars. Overall, great visit this time, even after I swore I would not come back here and order more than one item. Thanks to Christina, I will be back. I will definitely ask for her when I'm going to this location.

    Some interior of the restaurant

    Found this gem of a restaurant while on a long drive home from Socal. The cute name of the restaurant is what made us stop at first, but then once we went inside, the staff were so friendly and were very quick to help us be seated. We ordered and the food arrived so quick and was all delicious, the portion sizes were also a plus for weary travelers. The desserts there did all look delicious but we didn't have much stomach room left. But we met one of the Owners of the restaurant Ed and he gave us a couple free samples of their delicious homemade ice cream. We would like to come back here if we're ever driving through Bakersfield again.

    French toast.

    Phenomenal service. A little slow but you don't go here for a quickie. You go here to enjoy the atmosphere (great song selections) and the company of family or friends. On this morning I ordered their Hit Lit Chile Verde Omelette accompanied by country potatoes and thick sourdough toast. Chile verde was perfect. What I noticed first was the generous amount of verde sauce. Potatoes were red mixed with bell peppers and onions. Very good. My wife had the French Toast Combo and it was also very good. Can't wait to come back and try out the lunch options.

    This place is great and very busy for a Wednesday morning. We got the chicken fried steak, which was huge and very tasty, the country potatoes that were very flavorful, and the biscuits and gravy with rich flavor and soft bread. I also got the waffles and eggs. You can definitely taste the quality of the food. My only suggestion would be to invest in better seating or add some padding to the existing booths haha it might still be Cindy's original seating.

    Half chicken fried steak, scrambled eggs, 2 hash-browns and gravy (not pictured but upgraded to biscuits and gravy instead of toast).

    This is our third time coming here and this place has been consistently amazing. This was money well spent. Our waitress was so welcoming, and very good at her job. She was attentive and kind. We came back to try more dishes, and got a cheeseburger and meatloaf, which was a new menu item. Everything was so delicious, if you like in n out burger this one is on par in terms of taste and quality. The meat loaf was great! The Mac and cheese tastes homemade and was really delicious. For dessert, we tried the bread pudding and that was SO good! It was sweet and reminded me of a cinnamon roll. I can't wait to try more menu items.

    Pancake Breakfast

    hello last weekend we visited honey. I'm home for breakfast. After an awesome Valentine's Day, I treated my family to a breakfast here. The food was absolutely amazing.!!!!!!. visually everything looked great. The portions here are insane. if you are really, really hungry I consider this the spot for you. Inside this place is very inviting and it has a nice fresh clean feel to it. We will be frequenting this spot for breakfast in the very near future.

    Doctors orders omelette, added bacon...SO GOOD. With an upgrade to biscuit and gravy instead of toast.

    We decided to come here for a family breakfast this morning. Our food was delicious with more than generous portions. The kids ate their breakfasts, but the hubs and I have plenty of leftovers for each of us to have breakfast tomorrow, too! Our server was sweet and attentive. The restaurant was clean and not too noisy even though it was fairly busy. My oldest daughter and my husband tried their caramel cold brew coffee; it needed a little bit of sugar but was overall very tasty and refreshing. We will definitely be back! All our food was so flavorful.

    Chicken fried steak
    Cathie H.

    I'm convinced chicken fried steak is my true love language. If it's on the menu, I'm ordering it--no questions asked. This morning, I may have found the best one in California at Honey I'm Home Diner. The only reason it's not tied for #1 with Wise's Circle Grill in Dallas is because there was no fried okra or collard greens to seal the deal. But sweet mercy... that chicken fried steak was life-changing.

    Turkey and mayo sandwich
    Shana W.

    Service was really good! Their sandwiches were really good but that and my coffee is all I really all i enjoyed flavor wise. The chicken fried steak was huge even the half order but lacked flavor and seasoning in my opinion. I really enjoyed my coffee which they use covenant coffee which I love them. The place was really busy and we came on a Wednesday afternoon around 2 which I love seeing a local place doing well. I think we just ordered the wrong items but we want to come back to try it again.

    Senior bacon and eggs.

The fries were a great addition and made the meal even more filling. I also ordered the Southwestern salad with chicken, and when I opened the container, I was honestly impressed by how much food they packed in there. It was huge, fresh, and loaded with chicken, avocado, black beans, corn, peppers, and plenty of toppings. Definitely not one of those salads that leaves you hungry afterward! I also have to give Firestone Grill credit for the sauces. They gave me two large containers of BBQ sauce AND two generous containers of dressing. As someone who hates when restaurants give you one tiny sauce for an entire meal, I appreciated that more than I probably should. No sauce rationing over here! I did takeout this time, but they offer self-seating and have a full bar, so next time I definitely want to dine in, grab a drink, and enjoy the full experience

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.

They even had a whole little gift shop filled with adorable bear-themed goodies like baby clothes, tiny bear boots, teddy bears, and so many cute items that made the place feel extra cozy and unique. My brother highly recommended the steak and eggs, so I decided to trust his judgment and I'm glad I did! The steak was juicy, flavorful, and nicely seasoned, the hash browns were extra crispy exactly how I like them, and the sunny side up eggs were cooked perfectly. Everything tasted fresh, comforting, and homemade. I was also pleasantly surprised by how affordable everything was. We placed a pickup order over the phone, and the entire process was super quick and convenient. The workers were all very friendly and polite, which made the experience even better.
