I readily admit to being a food snob, as many of you who follow me should know. Frankly, on a road trip down Highway 99 from Sacramento to Bakersfield, and back, there is very little in the way of good food options. Sorry, but just as I see it, and I have tried again and again to no avail. That takes me here, the General, which I hoped as an independent cafe/diner type restaurant might be the Holy Grail. Unfortunately, no. It's just another roadside 'greasy spoon'. It's not particularly clean looking, but I did see servers diligently sanitizing seats, booths, and tables when people left, a very good sign. The place, however, is a bit weather worn and in need of a good sprucing up. The menu is OK, typical of this type of establishment, plastic and pictures, and not too inspired. I ordered the Santa Fe Grill Sandwich with fries, plus an iced tea. The sandwich was just OK, and yes, alas, greasy. It came with a beautifully grilled pepper, which I typically would love to eat a pepper like that, but it too looked greasy. I could only consume half the fries, unusual for me as I typically woof them down, but not here. Service was good, friendly, which was nice. Lots of local families seem to eat here. I did have high hopes. Oh, well. Next trip - power bars!

Looking forward to trying this restaurant under new ownership in my hometown. Very disappointed. Food was overcooked. The cheeseburgers & the trip sandwiches we ordered. No condiments or sauce for the burger. Tri-tip meat was dry, like it was reheated. Service was less than mediocre. The place also smelled of sewage coming from the restrooms. I also observed one of the hostesses wrapping the cutlery in paper napkins and touching the top of fork & butter knife with her fingers! Gross!

This place is a great place to stop when taking a trip to San Joaquin Valley. Been going for years, even when they changed names. Their food is like a little diner and I prefer it to IHOP or

Perfect roadside diner. Good food, superior staff, cozy and familiar but still unique. A gem in the middle of California’s
