Bakersfields Greatest Buffet !! Shockingly could exceed many buffets in Las Vegas. Great meal rotation throughout the day. Quality food with Home Cook taste.

I know many people who do not prefer buffets for many reasons, however; Hodel’s in Bakersfield, California has many great qualities that will be preferred by them. The food does not sit on the tray for long periods of time. It is fresh. As a matter of fact, you can order some food of whatever they have available behind the counter! This place has a country style atmosphere. Lots of parking space and a very easy off and back on the 99 freeway and Olive Avenue. Friendly staff and lots of clean restrooms. Fresh salads. Tasty desserts and many options on food. Price is very reasonable for the amount of food and its taste. I honestly recommend this place when looking for a buffet for the whole family or even for yourself. You will be satisfied just like I did…

13.99 Tues-Thurs weekday breakfast. Not recommended…VERY limited choices leaves something to be desired. Food was really mediocre, compared to LA seems like Bakersfield has less competition to worry about making better food. The high rating of this place is probably from locals for locals.
There’s an omelette bar, waffles that smells like dog, strawberries with mush bits, spongey scrambled eggs made from powder (you can just tell), very salty hard bacon, diabetes inducing level of sugary sweet pastries like cinnamon buns and French toast. The waiter was nice when it wasn’t busy. On a positive note the interior is really cute and the outside is clean.

First time being here and the food was delicious. Didn’t break my pockets and enjoyed all the delicious food and desserts. Staff was very talkative and attentive. Definitely recommend & definitely will be coming back, but this time with my Family. 💝

Hodels is one of my favorite buffet places to go as a family the food is so delicious and yummy. The variety of dishes they offer is impressive, from fresh seafood to juicy steaks. The salad bar is always well-stocked with crisp vegetables and a wide selection of dressings. The dessert section is a paradise for anyone with a sweet tooth, with an array of cakes, pastries, and ice cream flavors to choose from. The cozy and welcoming atmosphere makes every visit to Hodels a memorable dining experience.
