Old River Grill
Checking the griddle…

Serving Bakersfield since 2013

A happy place for hungry people.

Scratch-made breakfast & lunch, three spots on the west side, and a griddle that's hot every day 6:30–2:30.

Not your average coffee shop

Breakfast is our passion.

If you love Buttermilk Pancakes, we're your spot.
And if you love Eggs in Purgatory, we're your spot too.

We've perfected the classics we all grew up with, and we're always chasing new recipes to share with our community. In any given month you might find dishes inspired by any of the world's cuisines. Pull up a comfortable booth, or grab the cozy patio.
