My partner and I came on a weekend morning for brunch. The interior was welcoming and had eclectic decor. We were quickly seated and our order was quickly taken. I got the hobo omelette with hash browns, which was delicious. It came with a side of biscuit and gravy which was enormous and hearty. Overall, we had a great experience and will be back! read more

Enjoyed a nice early breakfast today at Spencer's coffee shop. Spencers was bustling with their early Friday regulars this coffee shop is always clean and fresh. I haven't been to Spencer's in quite some time. Our waitress had a coffee and water promptly and was very friendly.I ordered the senior special, couple slices of thick bacon, scrambled eggs, and some hashbrowns, my order didn't take long to be brought out. My Breakfast visit at Spencer's was a pleasure and good value. I highly recommend you give them a try. read more

Roger, this one's for you! My son requested Spencer's as he normally does so we stopped in for a bite. I wasn't sure what I was in the mood for but today's special sounded pretty tasty. And let me tell you, it was! The Roger Burger was easily one of the best burgers I've had. I was told that Roger is a customer and presented this idea for the burger. Good on you, Spencer's! Seriously so good! Please add it to your menu! read more

NEVER eat there during the closeing hours at 2:30 pm , enough oil on the potatoes to grease a tank , smelled old , bread was hard as a rock , smelled and tasted stale , no silver ware , no salt and pepper , no catsup , no melted butter and the ever so present I forgot your order waitress , done with this place , I will stick with the other one off white lane , I tried , but NOT worth the gas to trvel that far. read more

Spencer's is a local establishment. They have multiple locations around town but this own is very close to our home. It's a great choice for breakfast or lunch. Service is always on point. I don't think I've ever had my coffee refilled so fast in my life. They have a nice cozy feel, where almost every table is a booth at this specific restaurant. It's great for 1-2 or ever larger parties. They'll make it work for you, no matter how big your party is, especially when they have the banquetesque style room in the back. The food has never disappointed. Cooked to order and just a tip, to order any of your potato options at breakfast well done. They some times also have a bbq going outside for lunch and the occasional dinner. Overall the food is great, the atmosphere is nice and the service is excellent. I would also touch on this place being about the average, price wise, when compared to other local breakfast establishments but the CRAZY $3.00 "admin charge" to pay with a card is a little over the top. So my advise would be to"BRING CASH" read more

This is the perfect breakfast place!!! It has everything needed to be the ideal neighborhood breakfast place. We have been coming here for years while still trying every breakfast place we can find.

Had not been to Spencer's in a while so I was excited for our retiree group to attend this months breakfast at Spencer's. I ordered the chile verde omelette as that's how I like to compare cooks and variations at various diners The presentation good. The chile verde was not as tender as most breakfast places. The country potatoes were good enough but my friends said their hash browns were lacking and not cooked all the way through. Service was PERFECT. Overall not a bad day but for $17.50 I'd like tender, cut with a fork pork chunks. 3.5 stars but I'll round up and be back to try the chile verde again. read more

Pretty good breakfast place! I think my only thing I gotta say was the portion size maybe? I guess I was kinda thrown off guard by the size of the omelette was when I thought it would be bigger. Same goes for the pancakes. Everything was delicious but we just wish the portion size was a bit bigger considering they were about $16-18. Our servers were very nice and attentive and we were seated right away when we arrived at around 9:30am! And the food came out very quick, maybe less than 15 min? read more

I took my mother's to Spencer's for breakfast last week. This is my first time since they changed their hours. We ordered a ham and cheese omelette and a hobo omelette. Mother loved her hash browns and our omelets were delicious. Serve was just ok and my order came out wrong so she ate her breakfast while I watched but I would return. read more

We came here yesterday and we've given Spencer several chances, about 6-7 times total between dining in and picking up food, but unfortunately the service has consistently fallen short. Out of all these visits, only once did we have a positive service experience. During our visits, we're usually seated, the server takes our order, brings out the food, and then we're completely ignored. The server never comes back, and no one checks in. Toward the end of the meal, we end up having to flag down a different server, usually someone just walking by, if we need a coffee refill, a to-go box, or even just the check. We can never seem to find our original server again. This has happened too many times including yesterday to feel like a one-time oversight. What's especially discouraging is that the staff seems to give noticeably better attention to guests they appear to recognize, which makes it hard for new or occasional customers like us to feel welcome or encouraged to return. The food is pretty good, though slightly overpriced, but good food can only go so far when the service feels inconsistent and inattentive. It's disappointing. We love going to breakfast spots, and this one is really close to home, but after repeatedly being overlooked and ignored, we just don't feel like coming back due to the service. read more

The waitress that took our order was rude and not friendly AT ALL! We sat for 45 mins and our food never came. So we left! I've never experienced this here as we go there often. I think the entire staff was having a bad day because no one greeted anyone that I seen walk in while we waited to be seated. read more

Always good food and good service! Love their Santa Barbara omelette and biscuits with gravy!

Food is always solid, especially their burgers.. Depending on which waitress you get, getting them to take your order and bring you your check can take a bit as some of them like to linger around table talking a bit.. So, dont be in a hurry to get in and out for lunch... read more

Well today we chose to give Spencers a try because we where close by. We usually have a good experience when Jasmine is around. But today felt like we just weren't a priority like everyone should feel in a restaurant. First off, my wife's order was incorrect. She ordered steak and eggs medium well with half order hash browns. She received a dry overcooked piece of what might as well been a rock. And country potatoes. Strike one. Simple dish remake would have eased us but instead it felt like we were automatically put on the back burner. Not to mention the waitress almost didn't want to be at our table for more than a second. We had asked for more coffee creamer not only did it take a while to Receive it but also it was brought to us in very rude and uncourteous manner. The cup it was brought in was placed very harshly on our table and then they sped off without saying a word. Like we Understand sometimes a it gets busy but at this point in time it wasn't. Once again on our way out the checkout was met with disdain and an unapologetic pay here and get out vibe. The only reason im Leaving two stars is because the at least honored our request to have our pancakes brought to us as an appetizer while they prepared the rest of the order. We will be back and hopefully Jasmine is around. read more

As always the restaurant is clean and well cared for. The staff is prompt, polite and friendly. My server was Lindsey who was great. You always see a lot if regulars here, which speaks well of both staff and food. I like that they bring the flatware in a paper case, which keeps it cleaner & sanitary. I ordered the Caesar Salad lunch special with Sautéed Salmon. They serve a generous portion of skin on salmon filet that is lightly dusted with a Creole/Cajun seasoning. The skin is crispy and the salmon moist. The Caesar dressing tastes a bit more like an Italian vinaigrette, but is tasty. It's topped with fresh shredded Parmesan, lovely ripe fresh tomatoes and croutons. It is placed on a generous bed of dressed Romaine lettuce. The price is $17 which, in my opinion, an appropriate price for the serving. If you are looking for a delicious home style meal with good service Spencer's is on the list. read more

Spencer's on Rosedale is one of those places that, once you enter, you immediately feel at home. It's got that typical cafe vibe. While Spencer's is probably known for their breakfasts, it was lunchtime. We picked the Avocado Swiss Chicken Sandwich. Our server, Loren, brought out our hot tea for my wife and lemonade for me. The food plate was not far behind. They seasoned the bread with a garlic-cheese seasoning and it was very good. The chicken was tender and juicy. And, the sandwich was built like a sandwich should be - with plenty of bacon and a large dose of avocado. The hefty serving of french fries that came with made sure we didn't leave hungry. There is a regular menu, a senior menu and a lunch special menu, so you'll never grow tired of coming to Spencers. This place is a friendly restaurant that has a good value. Our bill was just shy of $21 before tip. read more

My friends and I come through here 1-2 times a year. We eat here primarily because the food is good. Never had food here we didn't like.I can't really say the service is all that great. I feel like because we aren't regulars that we don't get good service. Takes a bit to get started, ordered, anything else... the servers sure are quick to drop that check and NOT buss the table. I'm a server myself. And it's beyond me when they don't take dirty dishes out of the way. Not sure if we may return. read more

*In response to Allen B.'s negative review below* I also have frequented Spencer's with my daughter for a couple years now and while Allen has been a regular, he failed to mention in his review that he was harassing the younger women in question and outing their personal life in a packed restaurant of 50+ people. He left his negative review only because the young women he was harassing decided to verbally defend themselves, which he apparently had a problem with. Good food, great service. read more

I frequented this restaurant for 11 years, becoming very close to the owners and to the staff. I supported them during COVID, and when they were closed down for rodents and roaches. I supported tgem when they stopped opening at night. Unfortunately, the owner/management decided to hire several young people who are destroying the service and reputation of this restaurant. I may have been the most loyal customer this restaurant ever had, but after recently going there and having to deal with two of these young people, I will NEVER go there again. What's worse is I don't think the owner/manager even cares. read more

We took a bit to get seated but we were greeted immediately and made very welcomed! The girls were very attentive and all work together to make our experience the best service!

Super friendly staff! Very attentive. Food was great! We got French toast, chicken fried steak, pigs in a blanket for my littlest one, and my mom got chili verde. Everything was very good. The place is nice and they have a healthy flow of customers. You might need to wait 5 mins or so to be seated but that should not deter you. I mean what is 5 mins lol. We pass Bakersfield on our way from Cali to Nevada all the time and we are gonna start stopping here definitely! read more

I went to have breakfast. Ordered a Hobo omelet. I gave my waitress my card and let her know that i was going to the restroom and that I was not done with my breakfast. I was going to come back to finish my coffee and toast. When I returned there was someone else at my table. What was supposed to be a good experience turned out to be a bad one. Waitress was nice. There was lack of communication between staff. read more

I don't know what went wrong at Spencer's but the last few times i've been here they have been serving old bacon. ya'll know that old meat will give someone food poisoning. when i ate here on Father's day i got served bacon that was on the verge of being spoiled, now i'm stomach issues in the rest room. if Spencer's keeps on serving old, on the verge of spoiling bacon, i'll find a new breakfast spot. read more

I was in Bakersfield, California for work and wanted to try something good. I got on Instagram and put in Bakersfield eats and low and behold I found Spensers Cafe, there were three locations and I chose the one close to me on Rosedale Highway. The parking lot was packed and this to me is usually a good sign. When I walked in, the place was decorated in a rustic flare. The waitresses were nice and friendly. I ordered my ice tea which was pretty good and the glasses were tall. I ordered the All American Club Sandwich with French fries of course. So when the sandwich came out it looked pretty tasty. The sandwich was on toasted sourdough bread with melted cheese, tomato, ham, turkey, and bacon. SO GOOD!! The French froes were crinkle cut and crispy. They were perfect. This place was great and I will come back. EAT HERE, you won't be disappointed!!! read more

As you walk in you are always greeted by not only the hostess but many waitresses. They are always busy, sometimes you do have to wait but it's never long.

Ok so first of all, the workers were very rude and not helpful, the food was not good, and I think this place is VERY overpriced,

Comfort food for dinner, Spencers does it right without the overpriced pre-made foods others do. I had the New York Steak, Broccoli Soup, Salad and Corn Bread n Chili dinner. $16.99 is cheap, everything tasted great! read more

** dining room now available ** Well well. Its time to go out to eat finally. So glad it was at a good place like this. The food and the service are always top notch. I have been coming here since the beginning. I actually grew up not far away and would ride my bike here when it was Perkos. That was many moons ago. Im happy the place is still serving good old country food. Last night was no different. We had steak and shrimp with s salad and chicken dumplings. The kids got a burger and a grill cheese. All of us loved the food and we will be back soon. Stop by and enjoy a meal out of the house. Its time to go support a local restaurant. read more

Spencer's Restaurant - Manu - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Food here is reasonably priced for the amount you get. We just moved here to Bakersfield so we were looking for a nice small diner restaurant that we can call our "go-to" spot now. Back home we had a Norms but there is not one out here. We ordered the spencer cheese steak sandwich, the Swedish pancake breakfast and the pork chop breakfast. They were all good especially the Swedish pancake one. Cheese steak could use a bit of peppers or something but overall was good and came with lots of fries. Pork chop breakfast they asked if we wanted it breaded or grilled which was a nice choice considering both would be the same price. And the Swedish pancakes came with eggs, bacon, sausage and hash browns with your choice of berry toppings. read more
