So disappointed! Used to go to Karen's 3x per week. They give us 1/2 the bacon for same price then before now cheaper quality of Turkey bacon. Never have I ever been charged at a restaurant for salsa, never were in the past at Karen's then today charged and not even told hey we are charging now for salsa, is that ok? Used to get one refill on hot chocolate now half-price...what? When you start nickel-and-dime-ing loyal customers...you soon find they go elsewhere. read more

We love coming here, the breakfast is always on point, good portions, and priced great. The server Liz provides great service in the mornings, u can tell everyone likes her and knows her. I started getting the lighter breakfast because they do give big portions I never can finish and the lighter breakfast is the perfect size and price. This our go to breakfast spot rn :) read more

Hands down the best breakfast spot in the AV! Their skillets are second to none! And the servers are always super sweet! Highly recommend!

This is our go to spot for breakfast and lunch. The food is always great and the staff is friendly and professional. Service is fast! Thank you Laura and Josh. You guys rock! read more

Won't be back for a long time... So here's the deal, ordered the fruit pancake meal for under $10 bucks, I even pointed to what I wanted to our server Amy on the menu. Truth be told breakfast meal was delicious but!!! Amy charged me an extra $2.00 for the bacon option when I questioned her on the extra fee, her response: blah blah blah blah blah (you get the idea). Bottom line: you have lots of breakfast choices in West Lancaster, don't waste it here at Karen's Kitchen #3 read more

Great service, friendly staff, keto friendly my order , good food! Always a favorite for weekend breakfast

Food is good and the people are happy, friendly and easy to talk to . The location is convenient with lots of parking

I've eaten here quite a few times and it's located conveniently in the Vons Shopping Center on W. Avenue L. I took my daughter and son in law out for breakfast for her birthday. My daughter and son in law enjoyed their food. Pancakes and waffles. No complaints. I ordered an egg over easy and 1 biscuit and gravy. Eggs were cooked to order and came hot and the biscuit and gravy came to the table and the gravy was hot and good but the biscuit was stale!!! I told the waiter who was nice and attentive my biscuit was stale and I was told "oh yea, they are made fresh but if we don't sell them all, we use them up the next day"! DO NOT SELL CUSTOMERS STALE FOOD! I could tell the moment I took a bite, the biscuit wasn't fresh. I know everyone is trying to stay afloat in this economy but I'd rather pay more for fresh and quality food than be given stale old biscuits. For this reason, I won't be back. There are other restaurants in town I can go to and get fresh food. I don't have any photos but the place has a homey feel to it but my 60.00 is better spent elsewhere where I don't get stale food. read more

Creature of habit I come here often. The BBP - Big Boy Platter was fire today!! My waitress Liz sent the order back and got it hooked up!

Service was a zero because I never got waited on for 10 minutes I was on a time schedule, and I couldn't wait any longer. The waiter looked at me several times and kept going. I was at the counter waiting to order, and he waited on customers that came in the door after me, never acknowledge me therefore, I left I won't eat here. read more

Good breakfast, excellent service, nice spot. We stopped in for breakfast for the first time. Sorry for the abysmal picture quality. read more

Chicken and waffles were very disappointing. Chicken was very dry and tasted like they reheated the old chicken to serve. Waffles was alright though. Service was average but could be faster. We waited another 10 min after requesting for our bill. Ambiance was good though aside from our wobbly table and dirty windows. read more

Very good food and excellent service! Laura & Josh were awesome! They accommodated 14 of us!

A simple little breakfast and lunch cafe! Clean inside, friendly staff, and very generous portions at reasonable price. Me and my wife both got intermediate size plates for breakfast, and our young daughter ate from our plates and we still had left overs! Would definitely go again. Another bonus is that it's not a pain in the butt to get to either. Some parking lots can be crazy. This is just pull up, park, and walk in! read more

Karen's Kitchen 3 - Thick cut bacon, hash browns = , scrambled eggs are pretty standard, big plate of biscuits and gravy, and the French toast was tip top. - Cafes Near Me - Lancaster, California

Great service, they took our order very quickly. The ambiance is super cute and cozy. The food is AMAZING! Very big portions for a great price. read more

Service and food are always great. They are very friendly. The only thing that is annoying is their choice of music. You can hear the cooks music in the kitchen as well as the music they have playing in the dining area. They play it loud at the same time. The music is definitely not a breakfast/ Cafe vibe. It's way too early to play the kind of music they play. Also, they put a gratuity tax on your bill if you have 5 or more people in your group. read more

Stopped in with a friend last week for lunch! The food was great, but what really made it awesome was the service! Dilyan was awesome! She was super attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. She didn't rush us out the door when we were almost done with our food and made our dining experience beyond pleasant! read more

What an amazing place to eat. Karen's Kitchen 3 has wonderful service and delicious food. Also very large portions. I would highly recommend. Great!!! read more

Beautiful restaurant - wished it had attracted a good chef and a wonderful menu plan. Hot open faced sandwiches was lunch meat folded with a gravy on it. Gravy for the turkey tasted like flour. Mashed potatoes were not bad by themselves. Roast beef sandwich was lunch meat on sourdough bread. Nothing remarkable. Hashbrowns were good. Onion rings were good. Appeared to be a beer batter.o Potato skins tasted like they were old and not very flavorful. The wait staff was fantastic! Cheerful, speedy and helpful! The prices were pretty steep for what we had, we think. I would be willing to bet this is not a scratch place at all. read more

Wow, I finally tried this place after living in the AV for 10 years, now that it's open after 2pm. The food is wonderful. The Hot Ham & Cheese on sliced sourdough is to die for. Add sliced tomatoes and mayo, and you'll think you're in a NY deli. Yum! Veronica and Kim are super nice, as well. I've been here twice in less than a week. Could possibly come back for another sammich tomorrow read more

Fantastic food!! Val's Special Shrimp Scampi and Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo are mouth watering. This place is so good. The portions are large enough for take home. The staff are friendly and the owner is really nice. The wait staff are very attentive. The atmosphere is modest and casual. It is really good casual dining. read more

Ordered a salad from here. All lettuce was so hard. It was mostly all the core of the head of lettuce. Horrible. Paid $15 for this and couldn't even eat my lunch! read more

What a great little place. Friendly service and very good food. It's been a while since I've had good eggs Benedict in the valley. Theirs was great. The Hollandaise was perfect. For me that's what makes it breaks it. The food selection was huge. My husband was happy with his corned beef hash and eggs as well. Open early and so close to home makes it the perfect place for me. read more

We always have great service, the food is good. They know what I order, which is awesome. I do miss Liz on the weekends but her time with her son is very important for his growth. God Bless each one that works there. Will try to get there during the week to see her. Ephram took care of us today and it is always a pleasure. read more

Servers are johnny on the spot and rather good looking. Food is great! One of the best spots in the AV for breakfast and great customer service. If you like to talk ask for Amy she's always, "Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah..." you get the picture. But she knows the menu and the prices immensely well with a good understanding of the difference between Pancakes and Waffles. But the entire staff is phenomenal. There are many choices in West Lancaster this is the best. read more

Definitely will be returning for breakfast here! Newer spot. Nice little comfy diner I had the meat lovers omelette while the wifey ordered the corned beef hash. Quick and very polite service coffee was always refilled and portions were pretty hefty! No complaints here! read more

My eggs were raw the whites asked to correct to over medium. Three personnel proceded to argue they were ! over medium , where I could clearly hear. I advised I no longer wanted. They presented a discount that I did not want or need. Just my eggs corrected. Food average but clean read more

Very friendly environment and delicious food first time here and we had breakfast it was a pleasant experience

If I could give it zero stars I would. Got the biscuits and gravy, it's good if you like salt. The manager seemed to be over his head and not know what to do as the place got busy. I don't think the air conditioner was working because it was hot in there. I had a good waitress, her name was Liz and another girl named Dilyn. They both took good care of us even as the restaurant got busier. read more

First time eating here. Wanted a good salad to eat and this place is down the street from my work. Ordered a grilled chicken salad that was $12. The salad was just sad. 90% of it was watered down lettuce. Didn't like seeing them draining the lettuce from water therefor the salad was watery. Not much chicken...was hard and chewy. Sadly I will not ever return. Can get a way better $12 salad or lunch elsewhere. read more

Great breakfast that will truly leave you full and satisfied The Staff is Customer Friendly and the menu provides a great abundance of choices You will love your visit to this gem read more

Love this place they have great outdoor dining that's heated, amazing food and great service

We have always given this restaurant five stars. We have loved dining here since it opened a few years ago. I was there by myself yesterday. I left the table to go to the ladies' room. I told the bus "lady" that I was not done eating (shaking my head "no"). I said I'd be right back -- that I was just going "in there". She smiled and said, "okay". I was only gone three or four minutes. When I returned, the table was clean. She took my entire breakfast (a full plate that still had two eggs, home fries, 1/2 + polish sausage, and English muffins, including my drinks and napkins). I was shocked. The waitress said the worker misunderstood. I told her what I said to the worker and she had said, "okay". She reiterated that the worker misunderstood and offered to give me back my plate (from the dish tray) because nothing was on top of it!!! I declined. I said I was not finished eating. The waitress offered to write me a note for my next visit. I declined that, as well. She, then, offered to have a new meal made for me. I continued to decline. I walked out in disgust. My meal had already been paid for, and the worker had also taken my receipt off the table and tossed that into the dirty dish tray, as well. This bus "lady" has done this before, but with my drinks, as I had already finished my meal. On that visit, I had even left my jacket on the seat as I went to the ladies' room. That would indicate that I am returning, but she cleared my drinks off the table that day, too. At yesterday's visit, you'd think she'd wait a few minutes for my return to see if I wanted the table cleared -- to see if I was finished with my meal. Most people would have used common sense and determined that I was not finished eating. Again, that was a full meal she picked up off the table! She wasn't using her head at all. The entire time the waitress and I were talking, the bus "lady" had a wide smile on her face. I don't think she understands English. read more

Wow just left this nasty ass place walked in and tables were dirty the chef in the back eating while cooking our food.floors r sticky and dirty. read more

I ordered a breakfast burrito with specific instructions. They failed to make it properly. I was also given old fruit. Food was very bland. I won't be returning. Expected a way better meal than what I got. I'm not sure what the big fuss is about this place. Pick up process was very easy though. read more
