BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — What started out as a mother cooking for her family, soon evolved into a thriving business in Bakersfield.
Mom’s House Chicken and Waffles has been serving the community for over a decade and those involved say Grandma Vicky Hill, was one of the keys to it all.
“‘Mom’ is my grandma, Vicky Hill, she is my dad’s mother and she is the person that came up with all the delicious recipes and what started all the food that got to make us the place we are today,” said Jade Johnson.
A Southern taste that comes from the search for comfort food.

“My dad was like: ‘Where is the place that I want to go when I’m having a bad day? I want some good food, I want to go to my mom’s house,” said Jade Johnson.
“So we thought that’d be a really cool name to name the restaurant. Everyone has a nice comfortable vibe and it has good food at mom’s house.”
Even after the passing of “Mom” Vicky Hill, her unique recipes keep customers coming back.
