“We loved the vibe of the place, starting with the back patio that was tree covered, did not sit out there because there was nobody else sitting out there early in the morning, and the chairs were a little hard. Our server was friendly kept your coffee for an answered any questions that you had about the menu. Our food came up very promptly after ordering, and everything was prepared very nicely I decided to try the biscuits and gravy because I like to do that at a place I’ve never been to when they offer it, the gravy was thick, and had nice chunks of meat in it for flavor. And the biscuit was light and fluffy the eggs Benedict were very good, and I tried the corn beef hash because it was homemade not from a can! I had a good flavor. The eggs were cooked perfectly, and the hashbrowns were browned perfectly as well. I would definitely revisit if we’re down in Bakersfield again. 😎“

“Always my favorite burger, but this time was the first time getting the Avocado Burger! So delicious!!! It was big & they did not short me on avocados, that's for sure! The fries are always crispy & have good seasoning, good homemade tasting ranch & the staff is so friendly. We always seem to have the same girl (weekends or today is a holiday) & she is so friendly & always has a smile. It is worth the whole drive across town.“

“I must say after my last experience. The owner was quick To reach out and invite me back. This time my experience was much better food was flavorful and fresh for the most part sides could’ve been warmer but fish was crispy and perfectly cooked. Chicken was fried to perfection. Staff was friendly and service was excellent will definitely recommend.“

“Just wrapped up my wedding using NV, and it was the most wonderful experience! My initial meeting with Chef Nate and Dora was simply amazing - we felt his passion for what he and the team does in every bite. Their tasting experience was by far the best and with their amazing customer service, they whole process went smoothly! The best part was the surprise of being served our meal with a special presentation at our table......it was incredible!! Highly recommend NV!!!!“

“Be honest, you're here for savory fried goodness and a chilly milk shake or ice cream, and that's exactly what they prep right there in the spot. The frier is always ready and they don't drop it in until you roll up so you know you're going to get burned off you don't watch out. We do every time we're local“
