Mom's House 2681 Calloway Drive, Bakersfield, CA 93312

"The place has drastically changed in the last few years. New ownership has good concepts especially in keeping God first but the new younger workers need more training in customer service. The food is not as good but it's not bad. The dressing is nothing but cornmeal mush with pieces of chicken. Greens and collards were tasty. The food is missing flavor and soul."

"Ordered fried catfish dinner with Mac n cheese and yams as side items. The food was good but 1) that was shells n cheese not Mac n cheese. Someone doesn’t know their pastas 2) the yams were under cooked. Too hard. Not sweet enough. The catfish was not American catfish. They are selling swai catfish which is cheaper and charging American catfish prices. Very deceptive. Very wrong."

"The wait was long but the food was well worth the wait. As a man in the waiting room said, “if it’s a long wait, the food will be great.” The fish and chicken had the taste of fresh oil, something that should be appreciated from a restaurant dealing with a lot of fried food. I would rather wait a little longer for fresh oil than have my food ruined by bad oil. Compliments to the chef and cooks! The seasoning was amazing. Will definitely be making this a new regular for my family."

"The food was fire!! The catfish was so delicious. My friends got ribs and neck bones that was so tender. They gave you so much food we couldn’t finsh it.. this a must try we will be back"

"The service is always pleasant. Food is great always seasoned well and it doesn't take them long to bring it out after you order. Red kool-aid is always sweeter than the grape somehow. Macaroni and cheese is not the greatest I've had but it's OK. The other sides pictured are pretty good though. Portions are big enough to share depending on what you get. The neckbones pictured below as you can see fill up your whole plate and surprisingly have a great amount of meat on them. Fish/shrimp is always a good option to get its always cooked perfectly golden brown and flavorful. Ask for the Sock it To Me cake warmed up you won't regret it. Also the banana pudding is very good also."
