Went back to Old River Grill and had another great meal with our kiddo. The cinnamon roll French toast was a ten our daughter said. My wife had the Monterey chicken sandwich and she said it was delicious. I had the fish and chips and the batter on the fish was so good, the battered fries were amazing. This will be a regular spot for us to go to for great food and excellent service. Highly recommend.

I could write a 5 paragraph essay on why this is the best breakfast in Bakersfield. For everyone's time, I'll just say "best breakfast in Bakersfield."

The food was amazing it’s hard to find place where they have big breakfast now a days. Our server Shelby was friendly and welcoming. I had the country fried steak it filled me up. I’m a big boy and it’s hard to do that. Would definitely recommend.

Today was our first time here and we absolutely had a great experience overall. Food was delicious and full of flavor. The service was on point (server was Angelica). I ordered the Pastrami Burger and my wife got the Monterey Chicken Club. Both were very good, and the fries were really good as well (lightly battered and seasoned). We also got the mimosa flight, which was really nice and a good deal for 25. Our server was genuinely nice (not the over the top, fake friendliness), and checked on us regularly. I 100% recommend this locally owned/family owned restaurant.
