For a good meal, stop by the Farmer John's Pancake House in Bakersfield. This place features not only breakfast, but steaks, chicken,
carne asada, and you name it.
Unfortunately you can no longer grab a bit to eat at Farmer John's. This
place is now an empty lot.

The Farm House Restaurant in Beaumont sports a big ol' rooster,
standing guard near the roadside. Check out the look of the farm house themed restaurant as you see it from the nearby highway.

Check out this marquee for The Branding Iron, complete with rancher
imagery. The restaurant opened in 1952 and it appears that this sign is the original design. Plus, check
out this sign at night.

Check out this shot of the marquee outside the Chateau Basque

UPDATE 09/01 : The Chateau Basque was a very nice
sit down restaurant that served up Italian/Spanish food family style.
Every thing was handed around in big bowls and each meal was many courses.
Bread, salad, pasta, meat, vegetables,
dessert. I remember a lot of wine flowing at the table. Wow. It was a
great place. Many thanks to Stefanie Apel for update above. 09-01
