Carla’s Cafe

If you want great food and great service, try Carla’s. I’ve been coming here for 12 years and have always enjoyed it. Carla is super nice and here prices are great. You won’t regret it.

The atmosphere was great, the waitress was extremely attentive, and the food was amazing and inexpensive.

Great little hole in the wall café. The food is wonderful and the service can’t be beat. I haven’t had a bad meal there and go quite often. Would be worth the drive regardless of where you may be in Bakersfield. The prices are good as well has huge portions.

My new breakfast spot. Delicious food & friendly service. I don’t think there’s anything in the menu that’s not tasty. Tried the spicy burrito as another Unilocaler suggested and that was amazing! Also tried the spicy omelette and it was just as delicious. Will definitely keep coming back.

Where the locals eat. In south Bakersfield area of Greenfield, Carla’s Café is where the action is. It’s a small, homey restaurant with pictures and decorations on the wall. And I also must not forget to mention the bull on Carla’s wall. We asked if the bull was real. The answer was «Yes».
They serve typical diner food breakfast and burger and sandwich lunches. Breakfast comes with choice of hash browns or country potatoes, toast or biscuit with gravy. Their burgers and sandwiches includes choice of French fries, potato salad, macaroni salad, soup or fruit.
We ordered the pastrami burger [$ 9.25] and a BLT sandwich [$ 7.85]. The pastrami was slightly crispy and caramelized. It came with lettuce, sliced red onion, and sliced tomato. Our custom made hamburger patty was so thick we could not get our mouths to open that wide. They were also generous with the shoestring French fries. The bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich had several thick cut slices of crisp bacon. The potato salad was made the old fashion way. I prefer a little tang or kick to my potato salad.
The menu and size of the restaurant would be just right for the small community of Greenfield on the old forgotten 99 Highway [South Union Avenue] near Taft Highway. The place was packed during lunch hour when we were there. All in all, Carla’s was a nice dining experience.

My favorite café to eat at! Her food is amazing! The biscuits and gravy, the bacon, pancakes, burgers, tacos you name it! All of it is amazing. It doesn’t matter who you are, she always try’s to get to know you! Such a kind heart and a beautiful women!

Ask for the spicy sausage and bacon Burrito with jalapeños and salsa! Theres no going wrong at Carlas. Super friendly service

It’s a small place that makes you think are they really serving food in there? Then you walk in and there is Carla waiting to serve you with a great big smile. She was a sweet lady and I enjoyed hearing about JB the Giant Bull hanging on her wall. Food was good and the atmosphere was relaxing. I recommend if your driving on 99 and are hungry.

You can sometimes judge a meal on how many times you think back to it. For days after my ‘spicy omelet’ at Carla’s, I caught myself daydreaming about it.
