Great pitstop.Great food, love the omelets and the service is top notch. I usually stop here on my way to other places but its always very consistent and an easy stop on the way to where ever Im going.Parking- Plenty of parking.Groups- Great for groups.Airport- its on a small air strip and there often are really cool planes there.Again there is plenty of parking, I have been here with groups of 20 or more and if you call a head they can set up a table for you.The food quality is good and very affordable. I highly recommend this place for anyone hungry and passing through.

Rocket Shop Café is located in a metal building at the Bakersfield Municipal Airport, next to the tower. The restaurant is a popular destination for pilots, as you can tie down your airplane next to the restaurant. If you simply love to admire general aviation as you enjoy a fine meal, you've come to the right restaurant. As you enter the restaurant, you'll notice the decor is a cross between a sports bar, and a NASCAR bar, with a great view of the taxiway and general aviation parking, at the Bakersfield Municipal Airport. You can't miss the full-service bar in the center of the large dining room. Tucked away near the entrance is a small souvenir area, which sells NASCAR souvenirs and Rocket Shop tee shirts. The breakfast menu features all of your favorites, and features choices for everyone, including seniors, such as myself. I started at the top of the breakfast menu, at "The Ovals" and rarely looked down. Chicken fried bacon really caught my eye, but in the end, I went for bacon and eggs. From "The Ovals" of the breakfast menu, I went with "Bacon and Two Eggs," which features bacon, eggs, hashbrown potatoes, along with biscuit and gravy, and an endless mug of coffee. The breakfast comes with your choice of hashbrown or country fried potatoes, eggs cooked to order, and your choice of toast, or a biscuit in country gravy. The choice of a biscuit and gravy was a simple choice for me! This is very much a "diner" breakfast, and the sort of breakfast that I crave. Although the bacon, eggs and hashbrowns were delicious, the biscuit and gravy was the star of the show, as the biscuit was freshly made, and smothered in thick, savory, country gravy, that had lots of chunks of sausage. Mmmm!!! I had just a couple minor complaints, as I thought the bacon was cooked a little too much, as I prefer my bacon to be very "soft." I realize most people prefer bacon on the "hard" side, so I should have mentioned my preference to Tanya. I ordered my eggs fried over easy, and one of them arrived more or less "medium." Just a couple of minor complaints, which didn't detract from my great breakfast. Rocket Shop Café serves a very distinctive breakfast, as where else in the world are you able to enjoy chicken fried bacon or sausage? Distinction aside, Rocket Shop Café serves a great breakfast, and they're staffed by friendly people. If you're a frequent flyer, a lover of a great breakfast, or a person who enjoys Bakersfield cuisine, then Rocket Shop Café is your kind of restaurant...

Mark Livingston
The food is just ok, not what I expected. I had corned beef hash and eggs. The hash came from a can as near as I tell. It's nice if you like to watch the flight line action.

I was skeptical going into this cafe. It was out in an area where I would not feel safe (especially that far south on Union), but the food and service quite surprised me. My parents, my husband, and I decided to stop in for breakfast. Mac & cheese bites, waffles, country fried steak, strawberry french toast, and a pastrami sandwich was ordered and shared between us. My mom enjoyed her pastrami stating that it wasn't overly salted and her curly fries were not fried in last night's cooking oil. The waffle was a bit smaller in size, but it was rich in vanilla flavoring. The chicken fried steak was coated evenly and the batter to meat ratio was even. Their biscuits and gravy that came with the dish was not huge, instead was given two standard size biscuits. The star of all the dishes were the strawberry french toast. It was delicious with the syrup, strawberries, and the toast itself balanced in flavor. Our waitress was extremely friendly, quick to service, and returned numerous times to check up on us. The four of us left full, happy, and each had take out boxes. This place is definitely has quantity AND quality.
