When we walked in, we were greeted by sweetest waiter! She knew it was our first time so she gave us plenty of time to look at the menu. The portions are HUGE and very well seasoned. I loved my eggs Benedict, and had some left over! The steak was cooked to our liking. We even got the beignets on the house and they were so GOOD, soft, sweet and with 3 different jams on top. Absolutely would come back read more

The food was good. The portion was definitely worth the price. Our Server Maya was great (I hope that was her name) she was very helpful and would check on us periodically to make sure we were doing ok. read more

We love the theme of this restaurant, and the food and drinks are great. However, the service could use some improvement. When we arrived, our server seemed rushed, even though the restaurant wasn't busy for a weekday. We ordered two regular mochas and a peppermint latte, but were told it would take a while due to the machine being cleaned. When our food and drinks came out, we received two mochas and a pumpkin spice latte instead. The food was good, but the potatoes were served cold. read more

We walked into a sparsely seated restaurant on a Sunday for lunch and were never greeted. After waiting several minutes for the person at the register to finish what they were doing, she walked away. When she came back a bit later, I asked if we're supposed to seat ourselves-- a sincere question. She seemed a tad annoyed and told me my server will be right with me, and she called out to someone to alert them that guests were waiting. The food was alright. The mason jar drinks are a bit of a scam-- you're paying for the experience. I thought my Cajun eggs benny came with potatoes but there was an extra charge for potatoes on my receipt. The experience was not great but I can see how people might find this a fun or cute experience. Not for me, though. read more

Went for breakfast for my first time at huckleberry's and had the absolute worst service ever. No one was present when we walked in and stood there for a long time before greeted. When we finally got seated we waited for another 15 minutes for a cup of coffee. We were recommended the binets and ordered them and they came soaking with oil and had the most unappealing fruit dripping off the plate. Our food took forever and one of the three plates (burger) came wrong. We waited another 15 minutes for a new, correct burger. The breakfast burrito was all potato. The chicken sandwich was great, but when asked for a side of ranch, she waited another 10mins for it. The waitress acted like we were bothering her and the table behind us even joked that she may have been drunk or hung over. I will never step foot in this place again. This place lacks management. read more

Huckleberry's Breakfast and Lunch - Receipt - Southern Near Me - Bakersfield, California

First time at Huckleberries today! And it was an almost perfect experience! It's a nice little cozy cabin looking type of restaurant. Just gives me camping by the campfire vibes. It's nice. Had to wait about 5 minutes before we even saw anyone to seat us though. No one upfront. But we finally got a table in the back of the restaurant, and noticed the floor by our table was super sticky. Then noticed the floors by many of the tables were messy, food crumbs and little pieces of trash. Like they just brush the stuff from the tables onto the floor after a customer leaves? Kind of a turn off, but at least it's the floor. Lol. Tables were clean. Window had a little hand and lip print on them too. Lol Got our menus, than we kinda got forgotten about I think, because it took the one waitress like 15 mins to come back and take our orders. My husband ordered the chicken and waffles with a caramel macchiato. I got some biscuits and gravy with a side of bayou potatoes. Food came out in a decent amount of time, And it was the highlight of the visit, as it should have been lol. My husband just fell in love with his chicken and waffles! So did I, he gave me a bite. :) Chicken was so tender and juicy, had such a nice flavor to it, waffles were fluffy and soft with a slight crisp, they put a big scoop of their amazing maple pecan butter on top with sriracha sauce drizzled all over, green onions and bacon sprinkled on top too! It was just the awesomeness! Lol 10/10 My biscuits and gravy were comforting! Soft fresh biscuits and creamy thick gravy, great flavors! 8/10 Potato's were cooked to perfection, tender but lacking salt, it's okay I'd rather add my own salt anyway. And the bell peppers and red sauteed onions were also tender and cooked well. 9/10 Everything was served hot too! 10/10 Plus portions were big. Great prices too! The caramel macchiato was amazing, not overly sweet like you'd think. That huckleberry tea was so refreshing! I think they add blueberry puree or something, it had real blueberries in it and it was just so good, I actually got a "to go" cup to take it with me! So the place wasn't to crowded at all, maybe 4-5 tables were filled with families. 2 waiters on duty. But we still managed to experience slow service. Not only did they forget to take our order for the first 15 min when we first sat down, but we also had to sit there another 15 mins after we were done eating, waiting for our check and a couple of to go containers. My husband finally had to get up to go look for one of the waiters, which he said he found in kitchen area, on her phone, on a personal call. Lol It's all good, we've had worse service than that else where and both the waitresses were so polite, so it truly wasn't all that bad. Maybe just hire more help? Lol Bottom line is that the food was satisfying and that's the main part. Would definitely return, slow service and all! read more

Huckleberry's Breakfast and Lunch - Southern Near Me - Bakersfield, California

This place is not for a big party. If you have 6 or more people, expect to wait more than 45 minutes to be seated because they only have one table that seats 6 people. We came in on a Friday morning and were a party of 6. The lady just said we will try to sit you as soon as we could, and that was more than 45 min. However, our server was nice and had a great attitude. The food portions were good, but it took another 30 minutes to arrive even though the restaurant was not full. The food tasted ok. It's not something to brag about. My son's pizza sticks were last to arrive, and I am not even joking they were hot pockets. There is plenty of parking. The restaurant was clean, but I do NOT recommend coming here. read more

Had the French toast with soft scrambled eggs and bacon. The order came with two fried green tomatoes that were delish!! Highly recommend this place, go early because it's busy! If you're in a hurry, let them know when they seat you because the kitchen gets backed up. Staff is friendly even though they're swamped. The restaurant is clean and conveniently located next to a grocery store so it's the perfect breakfast spot before the chore of grocery shopping. Enjoy! read more

Finally came back to give Huckleberry's another go. This visit I had the Mississippi skillet which was good and I got the Huckleberry muffin which I ended up taking home and one of my son's said it was really good. From both visits I feel like it's nothing spectacular. I think you can pretty much get similar breakfast or brunch at IHOP or a Denny's. I think Huckleberry's is placed around those guys. A nice quick breakfast, but nothing to show off your extended family to. Wait time was not long, but as soon as we were seated the place started getting super busy quick. This seems to be a pretty popular spot so that means freshly made food. That part is definitely a plus if you are wanting to dine in. The bad part is poorly served or undercooked food. My husband's food came out and the veggies didn't look cooked at all. Potatoes came out undercooked and the bell peppers were super crunchy. Veggies won't hurt you, so he just dealt w the crunch. I made a joke and told him his plate looked like a senior plate because it didn't look seasoned. He was actually not happy w the food, but didn't want to make a big deal. Chairs are super uncomfortable. I don't know if I would come back to dine in. I also don't like the booths right by the front where they check people in and out because everyone stares at you eating. I think they should have a wall or privacy or something. Some people don't care, it's just my own preference. I don't like people staring that's all. So if you're like me, wait for a table in the back so all the customers don't stare at you. I rarely use the restrooms when I'm out, but I used there's and it was disgusting. They have 2 stalls in the women's restroom and no one likes to flush apparently. People like to show off their logs of shit right before people eat and that's super duper disgusting to me. They should have workers checking in and tidying the restrooms. Sorry for the description guys... it just makes my stomach turn thinking about it. read more

Danielle was a great server. Excellent and friendly service great food! Will definitely go back Highly recommend!!

We where over charged and we were set in a section and no one took our order we where told the host forgot to assign some one for 45 minutes. The second time we were 2 adults 3 children and they added a large party fee when asked we where told that the system does it automatically after 6 well we had 5 people which one was a baby then before that we ordered took then an hour for them to tell use one of our orders where out and to switch by that time 2 dishes had came out and after they told us they still took another 20 minutes and when the food finally came out the order was wrong. Then we were over charged. We tried to give this place several chances just because I like the tea and the kids like the stacked chicken and waffles but never again the wait time for food is horrible. I really liked this placed when it opened read more

Great breakfast if you're a fan of breakfast anything? Give this place a try. Incredible customer service. Good tastes like home.

I really enjoyed having breakfast at this place. It is different, very well maintained and the food is great! I ordered the french toast and asked for a side of huckleberry jam. They gave me a cup of what seemed to be a compote made from the huckleberries, not really exactly the same as the jam that they sell in jars. They charged me an extra $2.49 for this, but I thought it was very nice. I would like to see this chain expand to more locations in Southern California. read more

I can only describe Huckleberry's as GREAT! I have not had true Southern cooking in years and that is what I got there. I had the Shrimp Po'Boy. It was excellent. I also had the Cajun Fries. They were also great. The Po'Boy reminded me of Louisiana and I have not been there in 27 years. I absolutely loved Huckleberry's. If you want true Southern food, this is the place. read more

I keep going back and forth between 1 or 2 stars. But I'm giving the benefit of the doubt. Maybe it was just a bad day. It starting with an exceptionally long wait. We were quoted 20 minutes and after 40 minutes we were again quoted 20 minutes. And it was still beyond that. While waiting, other customers who were waiting started fighting. They were screaming at each other and swearing and threatening violence. It was a bit unnerving, especially with my 5 year old watching. Once seated, no one came to even take our drink order in what seamed like forever. And then the drinks took ages to come. When the food got there, over an hour later, the order was wrong. And when I told her this is not what I ordered, she rolled her eyes as if I was full of it. Like fine lady I'll change what you ordered. But when she came back 30 seconds later with the correct order, she said oh I brought the wrong one out. When we were done eating, we sat another 30 minutes waiting for the bill. And when it came, it was not our bill. When I told the server it was not our bill she said well then whose is it? I was like ummmm idk. After fully investigating everything on our table she determined I was right and went and got our bill. Overall we were there about 2 1/2-3 hours, including the wait. So, not a good experience. But it could've been an off day. I got a garden skillet and it was pretty good. read more

Huckleberry's Breakfast and Lunch - The Garden Skillet - Southern Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Been wanting to try this spot for a while. You can tell this is a good spot because it's located across the street from Denny's and the line here is literally about 10 parties deep ahead of you. Waited about a good 20 minutes on a Saturday. There is outdoor dining and the restaurant practices social distancing and was limiting capacity seating both inside and out, which is a plus since COVID is still prevalent in the community. All the servers wore masks and so did most of the customers. The hostess were not as polite and rudely asked us to step back outside to wait even though there was no one in the lobby. The decor is reminiscent of the book. There is a huge painting right when you walk in of Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer on the raft. The ambiance takes you on the back countries the antebellum South, signified by the country flavors of Cajun and Creole. You feel relaxed as you're greeted by the server. And let me tell you, hopefully, you get Carol because she is dynamite! The mood is relaxed as your utensils are wrapped in brown paper and your drinks served in mason jars. Going in, I already knew that I wanted to try their crab cakes. What's even better is that theirs is covered in hollandaise sauce. You can either get it with red potatoes or fruit. We opted for a fruit bowl expecting that the meal itself will already be rich and hearty. Our party also got the Cajun omelette and the biscuits and gravy. Being that the food represented was of the South and Louisiana, we definitely wanted to try the beignets. If ordering an iced tea, you'll find it will not be overly sweet and full of pieces of fruit, in this case peaches. The beignets was served right away as an appetizer and it was a huge order for that price. This blew my mind on how airy and light it was. It was served warm with a dusting of powdered sugar and fruit compote (real peaches and blueberries) along side of sweet cream for dipping. The crab cakes was also delicious and you can tell a good hollandaise from a bad one because Huckleberry's did not break! The crab cakes were spiced with a hint of Creole seasoning and it was served on a traditional English muffin. The Cajun omelette was also a huge order and it was packed with veggies and Cajun sausage. Finally, the biscuit and gravy was light almost like a pancake batter. Be sure you only order 1 biscuit because it will most definitely be enough!! Will definitely come back again and try other menu items. But the beignets alone is worth the drive here. So far the best brunch spot this side of the Mississippi River... or I meant the Kern river!k read more

I have been looking for beignets for ever!!! So when I heard this place had them, I was all for driving 75 miles (on the way home) after a 12 hr shift to go and try them. After doing much research online and speaking to my coworkers about this place. I decided to try their stuffed French toast, added 2 eggs to it as well as their Mardi Gras beignets. Being on a time crunch, I was easily able to get in and out in about 20-30 minutes. Food came out quickly, after about 10 min of ordering. The beignets looked so pretty, like a work of art. I was so sad to break it up. The powder sugar dusted beignets sitting on top of the 3 different sauces. They were so so though. Granted I have nothing to compare them too. Reminded me of extremely large pillowy doughnut holes that was slightly doughy and undercooked, but light and airy at the same time. The 3 sauces were fantastic toppings or accompaniments to the beignets. I should've ordered something with more substance and salt instead of the stuffed French toast. Because it was just sweet on sweet. But when I had the French toast several hours later as a snack it was actually really good. Good thin amount of cream in the middle. Bread was made up nicely. Not overpowering with the sugar. I'm torn about the beignets though. If thats what the new orleans one tastes like, I wouldn't go out of my way to new orleans just to try them. They weren't anything special or anything to make an entire travel itinerary around. read more

I never knew this place existed here and I've lived here for 27 years! My fiancé and I decided to eat here when we had completed running errands just down the street from here. The decor and vibe of the place is southern charm on the bayou! The food was DELICIOUS! We tried the Mardi Gras Beignets and Fried Green Tomatoes to start (definitely recommend both of these), and he ordered the breakfast burrito while I tried the California Benedict, which we both loved very much. To drink I had the Huckleberry Lemonade and he the Bloody Mary, which (no surprise!) we also enjoyed very much. The service felt just right for the atmosphere, not too rushed or delayed, took care of refills and everything, just perfect. We highly recommend trying this adorable, tasty place when you're in the area! read more

We asked our Daughter where she wanted To eat for her 21st Birthday. This was the place she chose. I was and always will be a little hesitant when it comes to eating somewhere new. I was already suggesting a diff place to eat. So we rolled with it and gave it a go! My Wife and our four children loved it! My wife had a kicked up version of the Gold medal chicken and waffles! Delicious! I had the catfish and chips meal...i thought they coulda put a little more catfish .....but I still enjoyed it ! The shrimp pó boy was delicious ...You gotta try the Bloody Mary which came with the chicken and waffles ...yum! Anyway, I definitely recommend Huckleberries... read more

Had high hopes for this place. Costumer service is GREAT the workers are very Friendly. Chicken fried steak is just 2small patties (pretty basic). Eggs cooked to perfection but hashbrown wasn't even seasoned. Bayou cajun chicken sandwich is Good (comes with pickles) the Coleslaw complemented the spices in sandwich very well and the fries are seasoned pretty good. Stuffed french toast is Overrated, I was waiting for an orgasm to pop off in my mouth but it didn't happen. The filling they use lacks Sugar and the huckleberry topping lacks flavor/sugar. Huckleberry muffin is PERFECT not too sweet, very soft and the huckleberry pops with Sweetness Really Good Muffin, the butter it comes with isn't Roadhouse butter but it is better than basic butter. FINALLY *THE GRAVY- it is basic, really nothing special about it.* read more

Arrived right before lunch rush. We had a party of 6. Took an hour to be seated. Food came out and I had some scrambled eggs that had a weird taste. Like it was powder. Kid ordered pizza sticks. All it was, was a cut up hot pocket and they forgot the fires which came in 10 minutes later after telling them. Sever was cool but couldn't make up for the kitchen being slow and disorganized.

I finally made it here. I've been eyeing the chicken and waffles and the french toast. Pictures on instagram looked too delicious. But what did i end up getting, the crab cake benedict with coubtry potatoes which was delicious! The crab cake looked over cooked but it just made the outside crunchy. Then inside was perfect and mixing everything together...OMG, I need more! Before our main course, we did order the benegites. It was really dense and not crispy. My only comparison that I have are the ones at Disneyland which I crave occasionally and it didn't compare. The only part of that dish i liked were the toppings. And your probably wondering why I didnt order the chicken and waffles or the french toast...its hard in Bakersfield to find crab cake benedict so when I see it on a menu, I have to try. So I definitely recommend the crab cake benedict. read more
