I came to the Crystal Palace for brunch a couple of weeks ago. I hadn't been here before and was quite impressed by the service and the history behind it.
The Crystal Palace has become an important part of the country scene because it was built by Buck Owens and Buck also had the Bakersfield sign moved by the Crystal Palace, otherwise the sign would have been destroyed but Buck Owens saved it. Not only that, but many concerts and events have been held at the Crystal Palace and Buck's memory will live on there forever.
Besides of the stories the Crystal Palace holds, the food is good, the atmosphere casual and the service is rated A+ by me!
