Nelda's Diner has been serving the Kern River Valley since 1976 under the same family ownership. Open from 6am to 9pm every day, Nelda's offers full service casual dining, reasonable prices, and a menu unmatched in uniqueness and variety.

Just the eighteen burgers and over one hundred named milkshakes make a visit to Nelda's a must for any trip to the Kern River Valley. In addition, breakfast is served all day. Some favorite items? For breakfast, the eggs benedict, bigfoot burritos, chicken fried steak and real corned beef hash are standouts.

At lunch, a wide variety of hot and cold sandwiches are available, including a reuben, pastrami melt, french (or pastrami) dip, plus all the burgers. Favorite burgers are ringleader, haystack and flamer (caution: hot!). For dinner, all entrees are complete meals with soup or salad, entree, potatoes or rice, vegetable, bread and dessert. You don't see that very often.

The rib eye steak is a great deal and comes with sautéed mushrooms at no extra charge. Fried chicken, halibut steak, fried or charbroiled shrimp and many other items are available. Senior portions, kid's menu, handicap access, and a friendly staff make Nelda's Diner one of the treasures of the Kern Valley.
