Molly J's

Have been passing this place often when going to the store so decided to stop and get some dinner. This is a nice diner which Reminds me of one back in Whittier my grandma and I would go to back in the day. Food was delicious and more than enough to satisfy my hunger. I ordered the meatloaf with mashed potatoes and gravy and corn. This was their daily special. I would definitely come back to try other items and want to try their breakfast next. Service was great and staff was very helpful and courteous. Would definitely come back. If in the area give them a try.

What a little gem! We had planned to go to another restaurant when we were in Bakersfield, but it turned out to be too far from where we were doing business. The fellow we were working with recommended Molly J's so we tried it. I had the chicken fried steak breakfast and my husband had the sausage patty breakfast. The waitress, Charlotte, was super sweet and attentive, food was tasty. We were at the counter, and the seats were comfortable. Charlotte even brought us homemade cookies at the end of the meal! I'd definitely be glad to stop in again when we are in town.

First time here. It's a beautiful Monday. 9:45am Greeted and seated very quickly. The food is extremely soft. And my eggs Benedict were very basic. Soggy muffin. I can definitely see why I see lots of elderly folks in here. Which is great: so if you're trying to accommodate your friend, orFamily on the super soft food here is the place. I thought of denture wearers. A place they can feel comfortable eating. Not so savory. Not very good Our waiter was okay. Didn't really go out of her way to help us naviagte the menu We told her it was our first time here and gave us each time very little time to think ofOur order. She kept coming asking if we were ready when we weren't she seemed very annoyed and bothered. The restrooms smell they need a good air freshener Will I return no Didn't like my food low quality flavor Portions are big but larger disappointment

Very disappointed to say the least. I use to come here all the time with my dad before he passed away a couple of years ago. But hadn't been since before Covid. Back then the food was really good. This morning since we were on that side of town decided to stop by for breakfast. We were greeted right away. Our waitress was good, but the food was not. My husband had steak and eggs. Steak had no flavor he kept adding salt and pepper and covered it some gravy that I ordered as a side for my pork chops. Speaking of pork chops, same thing no flavor! My eggs were cooked. The country potatoes were okay until i made the mistake of putting ketchup on them. The bottle says Heinz, but it didn't not taste like it. It had some type of sweet awful taste. Our toast was soaked in butter. It still looks the same in there, very clean. I also noticed that they are a little higher than a lot of better cafes around town. I won't be back.

The service is quick and amazing! This is my second time coming here. The food is great but could be better. You do get big portions and the prices are not bad either. The environment is cozy and quick parking too. They had breakfast, lunch and dinner available at 9am on Sunday.

I drove past this place a few times before I finally decided to try and let me say it did not disappoint. We decided to try this place because we yelped to see who offered more than just breakfast at early in the morning. This spot has a diner feel and is pretty much dated back too mid 90's look. The food was good and service was also good. They acknowledged us right after stepping up to their counter and were seated right away with menus. Soon after we were asked for our drink order. They allowed us time to browse and asked if we had any questions, the workers seem to get regulars and it looks like they have a good friendly staff. I also couldn't help but notice their amazing pie dessert display that I can't wait to return to try. We all enjoyed our food the chorizo burrito I had was very tasty and not greasy at all. We will return soon to try their cobblers and pies!!!

One of my favorite places in Bakersfield for breakfast. My favorite meal is a hamburger steak with eggs. I have eggs scrambled with some cheddar cheese and green onions. I asked for my hamburger steak rare and actually cook it correctly. Use a higher quality meat, tastes like ground chuck cooking on a flame broiler so it has that flame broiled flavor. I get cottage cheese instead of potatoes and biscuits and gravy. Excellent food and the service is also wonderful. The manager is always working right alongside with the waitresses to insure the customer is taken care of.

Molly J's Super Burger was deliciously prepared like I like it. The bun was fresh, the burger was char-grilled like I like it. Flavor of the burger was fantastic. Season fries were great. That was my first visit there and it will be going back again.

My husband and I were in town for the day and as we were leaving we thought we'd try Molly J's for lunch and so glad we did! My husband had the French dip sandwich which was delicious and was a large size sandwich and fries. The roast beef was so tender and seasoned perfectly, *much* better than any comparable sandwich we've had in other restaurants. I had breakfast for lunch with corned beef hash & eggs + hash browns which was also delicious! The service was excellent and we will definitely eat there again next time we're in Bakersfield.

First time coming here with my partner & like most people say the food is okay. Our server wasn't the best & didn't have good customer service I didn't get her name but she had blonde towards the front of her hair. When it was time to pay she didn't bring us the cookies & said "uh we ran out" but before leaving we checked the other guest that was there & they had received them. I honestly would not come here again.
