Have passed this place while going to the store and decided to stop and give them a try. Nice family diner which reminded me of the one back in Whittier my grandma and I would go to so stopped and gave them a try. Food was delicious and services was great. Like that they have daily specials. Got the meatloaf with mashed potatoes and corn and was not disappointed. Have to come back and try there. Breakfast next time. If near the area and hungry give them a try.

Staff was nice and although they're pretty dry/ flavorless you get complimentary cookies with the check. Burger was very mediocre basically no seasoning. French fries were amazing, cooked and seasoned very nicely. Patty melt was good served on rye bread though. They also have some desserts on display as pictured, didn't try but they looked good. Overall it's not worth the price honestly.

Don't even look at the pictures, just get down there! Thee best omelet, service & real comfy feel. I thought I was the only 1 on this planet that loves olives in an omelet, wish I wasn't so far, it's a plz take my money kina place! Thank u Rebecca for your exceptional customer service! Great spirit & made us L.O.L she was awesome! Service like hers is what makes us real deal foodies return, & the food of course. We ever pass thru again, makin a mad dash there!

I went with my family, and I ordered the Avocado burger and it didn’t come with fries so you had to add it separately. When I got my meal the burger had no cheese and the patty was plain with no flavor. I expected a burger with at least cheese in it. I had to put salt myself to eat and me not eat it with a plain flavor. The customer service was good. The kids meal did not include a drink with the meal so I had to add it separately as well. It was disappointing. I don’t think I would go there again. Unless they change the issues.

First-time going to this restaurant and we got amazed with the food flavor, highly recomended,, the place is not big the waitresses are polite and nice, we got breakfast only the omelets with nice flavor, country potatoes are great but what got me amazed is the gravy flavor OMG nice.

Molly J’s has the best oatmeal. I don’t know what’s happened within the past couple of years that it doesn’t have the service it used to have. Some waitresses are great while others are so so. The food is no where what it used to be like and I keep coming back in hopes that I will find the delicious food they once cooked and served. It just seems like they need a little makeover all around. Everything is so expensive nowadays. We had two ice teas a half a sandwich and a little cup of soup for two and it was $32.

A magnificent place to regain energy with fresh food, different from all the other places around. Meat, potatoes, salads, iced tea, exquisite soup. very quiet place with ample parking, impeccable bathrooms and a few meters from the road. After visiting Sequoia Park and its great trees, on the way back we wanted to look for a place to have dinner before arriving in Los Angeles and we found this place. Very good, especially for those of us who are not used to junk food or food that is too spicy Wheelchair accessibility: If you have accessibility

Im a cuban from Miami. Keep this in mind for what Im about to say. This location has a selection of coffees. One of that selection is a colada. This is a strong expresso served hot in normally a small cup. A few things went wrong with this place 1. They had the colada named as a colado.. when I asked the young lady for my coffee.. she corrected me to a colado or cafecito, that is strike two. Strike three, she asked if I wanted it Iced... if you are a natural born cuban please dont visit this location. It does not represent us.

Terrible service from the manager William who answered my phone call. I called to see if they were hiring for a hostess or server and he says hello in the middle of me asking and hung up on me. So I called back and the phone picks up and hangs up really quick. So I called off my textnow phone number and he answered . I said may I speak to a mgr please. William says HES THE MANAGER SO I SAID: WELL... You hung up on me twice when I asked if you were hiring. And then he says were not hiring. I told him thats all I wanted you didnt have to hang up on my twice. He said something smart I just banged on him see how he like it.

Best Breakfast Spot in Southwest Bakersfield! I recently visited Molly Js Restaurant on Panama Lane, and I can confidently say its the best breakfast place in the area. The customer service is exceptional, with every staff member, from the dishwasher to the owners, showcasing great hospitality a special shoutout to William and his wife for making us feel welcome. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Rebeca, our waitress for the day. She went above and beyond, providing fantastic service that enhanced our Breakfast experience. Thank you for all the attentiveness and accommodation for my family; we truly appreciate it! Sincerely, Tony Ortiz

Went in for Mothers Day breakfast with my wife and child. They were handing out flower to mothers when ordering, we were sitted. People who were sitted after us had already ordered had to flag down waiter, who called the waitresses in our area. Waitresses was rude, took our order, and never gave my wife a flower. Felt uncomfortable for the rest of our visit, seeing the same server bring everyone else flowers but our family. Gave no tip but did voice our disappointment with the experience to manager. Will never go back.

Food was delish and service was good. My bf said one of the waitresses slapped his bottom and thats not ok. That was the review for the last time we went there. I forgot to post it. Today the food was not good. The waitress seemed busy and unhappy. The coffee guy seemed annoyed. We had to ask for refills on our drinks, and they made faces at us! The wait staff was not friendly and very annoyed with us! We didnt feel welcome at all. Actually, the best thing we ate was the country fried steak.

What a ripoff, $55.00 for lunch, $4 for a small side salad that was the worst that i have ever had, (soaked in dressing and croutons) Too dumb to put the dressing on the side, $4 for an ice tea, they charged $4 for my guest switching fries to onion rings, thieves, do yourself a favor go to Saccura buffet on ming for $15 you get one hundred times better food all included, all you can eat no overcharges. Included all and any drink that you want, deserts, and they dont charge you to eat their delicious hot onion rings as well as fries. Excellent chicken, beef, pork, salmond, veggies, what a treat, best deal in town, better than Vegas, all for a fraction of what Molly Js charges, but if you dont believe me wait until you see your check at Molly Js you will say Molly Moses!!!!
