History

Established in 2006.

The story of J’s Place and their down-​home Southern cooking really is a family story. A mother with recipes from her mother, her three sons, all with no prior restaurant experience, opened J’s Place in July of 2006 on Ming Avenue in Bakersfield. Vicki Hill and her sons wanted to share the wonderful food they had enjoyed for decades from recipes by her mother, Lora Bolden of Oklahoma.

People came time and again for the wonderful down home food and the business grew. J’s Place needed a bigger location to accommodate their customers. Vicki’s son Dirk said, we found our new location, believed in Christ and opened our doors.

The secret behind the wonderful food of J’s Place is simple. Authentic family recipes and cooking everything from scratch using quality ingredients every day. We prepare food for you with love from our family to yours.
