Village Grill

"I have been here dozens of times and have had the best experience but on this particular day I decided to take my dad. Unfortunately it wasn't a good experience. It was Sunday lunch and I was expecting a bit of a wait and seating did not take long unfortunately they were down a cook this day. We didn't get our food till like 45 minutes after we ordered. Food was excellent but the service lagged. The waitress did apologize though. I would like to suggest possibly calling someone or cross train all employees in cases like this."

"Food was awesome as usual service not so much felt ignored by wait staff with the exception of the busboy who serves drinks in the outdoor area. Saw at least four couples leave due to no one helping them or seating them even though there were several empty tables. I'm not sure if they were under staffed. Our waitress was nice both times we saw her."

"Atmosphere/Environment: I wanted this place to be as cute as the pictures. I loved the outside area. I thought it was adorable but the inside not as expected. Service: staff was nice, helpful, and attentive Food: B+ It was good but typical for breakfast. No flavors that especially stood out significantly. I did like the seafood omelet. The hasbrowns weren't overly cooked and hard like I've had in the past. I did like that many sauces came in a to-go container so when I left, I could just put the sauce easily in the to-go box. If you want a chill place to get lunch, brunch, or breakfast, go before 10 am to sit in the outside area. It's a cute space."

"Nice diner in downtown Bakersfield open for breakfast and lunch (6:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.) The food is good and a good variety of breakfast items, sandwiches, salads and burgers with large portions. They are limited in their kids menu and seniors menu as they only have a few items that are categorized as both for seniors and kids on the menu. They also do specials and have indoor and outdoor seating. Service was good and friendly and the interior was clean but can be noisy. Patio dining is nice and well shaded to keep cool during hot summer afternoons."

"Old-timey breakfast restaurant with a nice atmosphere. Don't get fooled by the shabby exterior impression. The menu is probably not very suitable for kids though, all very savory, even the waffles and pancakes. Toilet was clean but there was only one toilet (per gender) which seems not enough given the large guest capacity of the restaurant. The restaurant is surprisingly spacious! From the outside it looked much smaller."
