“Awesome service. Always a pleasure to have as a waitress Michelle”
“Crazy delicious korean food ❤ i had the beef bimbimbap to go and lidia hooked it up with kimchi cucumber and it was the perfect addition i didnt know i needed. I can’t wait to go back!”
“I’ve always enjoyed the food and the Luigi’s experience and last night just added to that! I hosted a surprise party in their warehouse and it was phenomenal! Their staff is amazing! From start to finish, they delivered! From their detailed-oriented event coordinator, Lis Clarke, to their friendly, attentive, and fun staff—I am thoroughly impressed! All of my large events will be held at Luigi’s from now on!”
“Great spot - love the beer, plus the theme/decor makes this a fun spot to relax. The bartender was so helpful and made me feel right at home. I love checking out new (to me) breweries, and this spot is a gem.”

“Love Nelson and the gang at Mauricios. Food is great. Price is right. They treat you like family. I highly recommend the guacamole, chips and salsa with a margarita chaser. ole’”
“The Japanese philly roll is so so good! Paired it with garlic noodles and mongolian beef for a delicious meal! It was a good size for me and my friend and still had leftovers. Save room for the butter cake”
“Took my family and we all loved it! My apologies for not being as quiet as your other customers (we were a large group). I don't believe anyone made rude faces or made us feel uncomfortable. There were several teens at the table and my family was visiting from out of town. We were just really happy the food and service was great. Thank you so much! Your staff was so welcoming and we truly appreciate that.
*portions are a good size. 1 roll fills the average person up. Everyone who ordered ramen at our table needed a to-go container (prices are reasonable)”

“Oscar was our waiter for lunch. He’s very accommodating. He brought our drinks right away. Took our order. He was friendly, outgoing very positive vibe. Our order without any problems. The steak was cooked to perfection. Even asked if you wanted tea to go. he was an excellent waiter.”
“A bad experience was immediately taken care no questions asked, and that’s great customer service,
I came in for a Dubai strawberry cup today, the first time it was made the cup was half empty, I was quite surprised considering the cost is $12
I saw on the crumbl instagram the cup is supposed to be completely full even overflowing.
So I reached out to the store and she immediately offered to remake it free of charge, I appreciate the quick response immediate action.
It was delicious!
Here are some photos of the first cup and the properly made cup.”
“Very disappointed in my kids turkey sandwich that I always order at the Mount Vernon location but decided to go here because I was in the area. The bread was so salty on top that I could not eat my sandwich and it had no mayonnaise on it and it was sloppily made. So needless to say I am very disgusted and disappointed with this location and will not be returning. These employees need to pay attention to what the hell they're doing”
“If you're looking for great pupusas, this is the place. They're always delicious, filling, and priced really well. The owner is super friendly and makes everyone feel welcome, which gives the restaurant a great vibe. Service is always quick, helpful, and consistently excellent every time I've been here. It's one of those local spots that never disappoints. Definitely worth checking out if you haven't been yet—I know I'll keep coming back.”

“Everything was excellent. I’ve had ups and downs at various yard house’s, this was def one of the better ones. Service was very fast, friendly and efficient, the food was pretty good and they actually know how to cook a rare burger right, something which has become less and less common these days. Only thing I wasn’t a fan of was the cheesesteak, it wasn’t good at all as bland and flavorless as it gets. To be fair I think the server tried to (politically) steer me away from it but I didn’t get the hint. Otherwise everything else I ate here (and ordered quite a lot of food) was spot on.”
“The Stone House is truly a hidden gem in Bakersfield! If you’re looking for authentic Yemeni cuisine, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit.
From the moment we arrived, Ali made us feel incredibly welcome. His warm, friendly personality and thoughtful recommendations made our dining experience even more memorable. It’s rare to receive service that feels so genuine, and Ali went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed every part of our meal.
The food was simply outstanding. We ordered the Lamb Hanith and the Fahsah, and both were absolutely incredible. The lamb was melt-in-your-mouth tender, perfectly seasoned, and packed with rich, authentic flavor. The made-to-order fresh bread was amazing—hot, fluffy, and perfect for enjoying every bite of the Fahsah.
To accompany our meal, we enjoyed Mama’s Tea Milk and the Red Tea. Both were wonderfully aromatic, comforting, and the perfect complement to the rich flavors of the food.
And then came dessert…the Al-Maesub Al-Malaki, which was nothing short of heavenly! Rich, decadent, and beautifully prepared, it was the perfect ending to an unforgettable meal.
Between the exceptional food, the warm hospitality, and Ali’s outstanding service, The Stone House has earned a place among our favorite restaurants in Bakersfield. We can’t wait to return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic Yemeni dining experience.”
“After leaving another area restaurant/bar due to zero service, we decided to stop into Nuestro Mexico. So glad we did. The servers remembered us even after it had been awhile since our last visit. We were greeted warmly and seated promptly. From that moment on - the food, cocktails, service was ON POINT! Best decision we made. Comfortable atmosphere in historic central Bako. Highly recommended. We’ll be back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Absolute perfection from crust to sides!
Flames Pizza never disappoints, but my latest order completely blew me away. If you're looking for the ultimate comfort food feast, this is the place to go.
The pepperoni roll is a total game-changer—stuffed generously with savory pepperoni and melted cheese, wrapped in a golden, perfectly baked dough that is simply impossible to put down.
Of course, no order is complete without their incredible sides. The garlic bread is rich, buttery, and toasted to a crispy-soft perfection, packed with robust garlic flavor in every bite. Paired with an order of their garlic fries, which arrive wonderfully crisp, piping hot, and heavily tossed in savory garlic and herbs, it's an absolute dream.
Fast service, piping hot food, and top-tier flavor across the board. Flames Pizza easily earns all five stars! 🍕🔥”
“We celebrated my birthday on taco Tuesday & we also participated in the line dancing after dinner in their brand new venue. It was rustic with a timeless, vintage flair. The line dancing was family friendly and so much fun. I had the steak salad. It was solid! Good size steak medallions in a super fresh bed of lettuce and assorted veggies including tomatoes and beets with home made blue cheese dressing. Our daughter who almost never finishes any of her meals consumed most of her taco salad which was a generous serving. She couldn’t stop telling us how good it was! Papa had the very flavorful ground beef tacos with a side of perfectly seasoned potato salad. We ordered a side of carne asada tacos which were a little on the dry and salty side. Although the place was very busy our server was very attentive and recommended their Ribeye special on Thursdays…so, we made it out again tonight to celebrate our anniversary. We both had the amazing ribeye special and boy was it special! Salad was once again so fresh and tasty. The baked potato and sweet potato fries were melt in your mouth yum. The rolls were toasted yet so tender. The steaks were seasoned and cooked to absolute perfection. No need for any condiments on these steaks. We thought it would be good but not that good! Salute to the outstanding chefs! Our server Jasmine was also very attentive and made us feel at home. We ate in the newly extended covered patio which was very inviting but could use better lighting on the outskirts of the patio. We are looking forward to trying the fish Friday specials including shrimp tacos next! Thank you Ethel’s for the outstanding service and for serving up heartwarming meals!”
“Wasn’t expecting the burrito to be so big. I’m a vegetarian and they were so accommodating- they allowed me to modify a menu item to my dietary preferences. I also don’t drink alcohol and they were very accommodating making a mai tai mocktail! Very friendly staff.”
“Phenomenal burgers. I will have to stop by when I am not in the middle of a 350 mile drive from LA to SF. The bar looks well stocked. We had lunch in the bar, but they also have indoor and outdoor dining areas. Really cool. Definitely worth going again.”

“By far the best butter chicken I’ve ever had ! My husband and I are obsessed. We eat here at least once a week. The atmosphere is always very relaxed and the employees are so nice and welcoming. Will definitely be a forever returning customer 💜”
“Stopped in for lunch, and was amazing as always. We’re a Frequent Foodie at Frugatti’s, because of the great service, food, and atmosphere. Don’t skip the dessert, you definitely need that. We met the owner, Ralph, today. It was fun to discuss his future plans and his passion for perfection. Best lace to eat in Bakersfield, hands down.”
“A + + + +. Absolutely delicious Asada tacos and refried beans. These are my favorite items every time I eat there. I recommend getting their green salsa and loading it on the beans and the tacos so yummy. If you’ve drove by and thought about stopping do so you won’t regret it. Plus the prices are great.”
“I recently visited my mom in Bakersfield. I lived there in high school but moved away about 36 years ago. We happened to be driving down California Ave so I told my mom that we should stop at Dewars to pick up some candy. She reluctantly agreed because she is not a big sweets or dessert person. Her one vice is ice cream so I was able to convince her to come in. The place is beautifully decorated in 50’s style motif and one of the servers dressed adorably. I got a mint chip with hot fudge and peanuts. The peanuts were so finely chopped and the hot fudge was delicious. Who would have thought that mint chip would be pink? I headed back to Florida the next day and I just can’t stop thinking about that incredible ice cream and experience. I guess I am going to have to visit my mom more often. Thanks for the treat Dewars. 🥰”
“Trust me, we have repeated our visit to this restaurant (sometimes just we 2 and other times with a large group of friends) many times people and the staff have always been friendly. We’ve never had one bad experience and will continue to be loyal patrons. They are always quick behind the sushi bar (hats off to the sushi chefs) and our food comes out fast so that’s a plus. Today the fish was fresh and served up with a nice garnish of a beautiful orchid and the fish is very fresh we were very pleased with all of it. We went during happy hour where specific rolls are half off! Take my word for it on this: Order yourself the spicy garlic edamame as a starter! You won’t be disappointed in fact it’s fantastic. When our sushi came we were offered ginger and authentic wasabi too. Wow what a nice surprise. I honestly have never had authentic wasabi to know what I was missing. Treat yourself as soon as you can. I’ll upload my impressions that I captured. We revisited this sushi house and were happy to enjoy fresh sushi. Steve had the spicy pork bento. I’ll add my photos from today”

“I went to Fabulous Burger for the first time today (08/01/23) and was really impressed with my burger and fries. We also ordered the onion rings (great) and the zucchini fries which were exceptional. The portions were generous and the prices were surprisingly low for the quality of the food. I will recommend this place to all my friends and family.”
“I LOVE subway and I've never had too many issues with this location. The manager is very polite every time I go in there the only issue is with his employees have a little too much attitude and don't always give the nicest facial expressions. Not all of them are like that, most of them are really cool and try to make me smile everytime I'm in there. Overall it's a good place for lunch!”
“The fries used to be cold as hell—like they just crawled outta a morgue. Now? Boom. Hot, crispy, beautiful. Tastes way better. Food’s actually fresh now, can you believe it? I’m lovin’ it. I’m swingin’ by like three times a week. Three! At this point they’re lookin’ at me like, “Hey Frank, you sick of this yet?”
Nah. Not even close. I’ll keep comin’ back till somethin’ breaks.”
“We lucked out and arrived when there was no traffic .
They have these fancy touch screens you can use to take your order instead of squinting at the blurry sign.
Self serve soda dispenser.
Vegetarian options: You can make a custom order on the kiosk. Ask for " fresco - style ".
Parking: Wide enough to fit a semi-truck .
Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair friendly .”
“Very pleasant/professional staff. Great choices on their menu. Delicious food (five of us; each agree with different meals). Very nice ambiance. Fun history of the location.”
“The taste of the breakfast potato’s (my fave) & everything I tasted made sharing a meal with family the best of times!”
“This is one of my favorite places to go in town~ They always have the friendliest staff and their food never disappoints! Their new yaki noodles and tazuna rolls are really great. I loved their tazuna roll because I got to build what I like in it, since I always have the hardest time choosing between what roll I want. Their tea is so refreshing to drink! I got the mango black tea and it was definitely the perfect thing to have in today's hot weather. Great place to go for a casual lunch or dinner :) <3”

“Tuve la oportunidad de venir a comer al Pollo Rico y la verdad quedé encantada con la variedad de sabores y las opciones del Menú, todo lo que degusté estaba delicioso, el pollo al carbón tiene un sabor exquisito, las empanadas y las papas rellenas súper deliciosas, los frijores y el arroz también me encantaron, en fin todo! La atención fue extraordinaria, mucho respeto y amabilidad y pendientes de todo lo que uno nesesitara, el ambiente estaba limpio y agradable y disfruté de la buena selección musical ofrecida en todo momento. Yo pienso volver muchas veces más y para mi es altamente recomendable este Restaurante”

“BEST Mexican food in town. My husband and I have been regulars shortly after they opened their doors. They even catered our wedding which was a bit hit with our guests. Everything in their menu is delicious…I especially like the pasole which I order frequently. A must try…you’ll enjoy the food and the service.”
“Lots of fun!
The ice-cream was really good and they have many unique flavors. The candies are also delicious.
They have a really nice “old school ice cream parlor” vibe going on. It feels very classic Americana and I enjoyed just being inside.
Well worth the visit if you’re passing through town!”
“Order the poblano verde shrimp enchiladas, the portions are definitely on the larger side. Food was absolutely delicious, I highly recommend this place. Also, the passion margarita was very refreshing. The waiter, Salvador, was fantastic and very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Delicious. Make me remind of my school days. Amazing street food.”
“This is my favorite place for The jumping monkey! This is what they are known for and I love them! I always tease the owner I'm a silent partner because I have introduced my school colleagues, my family and friends to the jumping monkey but how I was introduced to this place was through Aaron the weather man because I follow him on social media and he went there which made me try it and the rest is history”
“The neighborhood had a large yard sale where 60 home gathered together to have massive sale. Apparently everyone wanted to stop and eat at the same time Leslie was under staffed but as friendly as always.
I’ve been to this location before and she has always given an extra friendly service but I’ve never taken the time to acknowledge it. Today I know I had to see how she was able to keep her above a average service even under times of extreme stress.”
“Great dinner tonight. Great service from Jennifer Noblia. Love Urrichios’s!❤️”
“7/6/25 I so enjoyed my Beef bento delicious,sushi, salad so fresh our server was great Davy O I will for sure return, We were a party of 12 with 3 children they also loved it!”
“First time visiting Luna and we liked the vibe. The host was a super professional and CLEAN in appearance (good looking young man) he sat us promptly and we had zero wait for a table at 10:30 on Sunday morning. Steve had a regular coffee and bougie me ordered a vanilla latte which was delish served with a foam heart which I’m a sucker for. have a super picky relationship with eggs over medium ( My dish said 2 medium eggs on the menu) my dish came with both eggs crispy brown around the edges and only one egg had runny yolk the second was cooked all the way through. The chef made me a softer egg with runny yolk but was browned crisp on all the edges. I didn’t hate it because the dish had Amazing spicy salsa beneath the eggs accompanied by toast. Steve had scrambled eggs with seriously THICK bacon that was smoked and unforgettably tasty. He had potatoes and a muffin with orange marmalade which he enjoyed. I think we liked the food and atmosphere so much we will return for lunch or perhaps dinner in the future. Don’t let my picky review put you off. I’m just a super picky egg eater, and we would totally revisit this restaurant.”
Cheap Eats
“I had the most authentic Food from Michoacan. It felt like I was a kid again eating the food my mom makes. I had the morisqueta and even the cheese tasted like the one from Mexico. My husband had the aporiadillo and it was also a great flavor and it came with tortillas echas a mano. They have aguas frescas that you can tell where made with love and authentically.”
“Our group, ten hungry people traveling from San Francisco to Los Angeles stopped in Bakersfield for Thai-Chinese foods. We were lucky, the owner did the cooking for us. Surprisingly, the quality of the food is authentically Thai and Chinese. Kee, the owner is a Chinese from Thailand and owns 3 branches in Las Vegas and other cities too. The service is excellent! and the facilities are very clean.”
“Multiple food options, quantity and quality A+. Staff meet and greet with superb. Understanding and communication excellent. This has been and always will be my go-to pizza store. Sounds are good too but I kind of think that the size of the salad went down a little bit and the price didn't I could be wrong but anyways.”
“Finding a good breakfast burrito in a town we'd never visited felt like a gamble, but this place exceeded our expectations! The flavors were spot on, and the burritos were delicious. My only recommendation is to have pickled jalapeños and carrots available—they'd be the perfect addition. Highly recommend!”
“Carla's Drive In is an absolute hidden gem! The cheesesteak sandwich was loaded with tender, flavorful meat, perfectly melted cheese, and served on a fresh roll that tied everything together. The pastrami sandwich was just as impressive—stacked generously with juicy, well-seasoned pastrami that had amazing flavor in every bite.
And the fries? Easily some of the best around. They were hot, crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and perfectly seasoned. Everything tasted fresh and made to order.
If you're looking for a great local spot with delicious sandwiches and incredible fries, Carla's Drive In is definitely worth the visit. I'll absolutely be coming back!”
“I really like their food; the zucchini sticks are delicious, and the breakfast burritos are tasty, they are very nice and take their time to cook the food to make sure it is cooked to healthy standards, I don't think I will ever get tired of eating here, I do hope though with the minimum wage hike to $20.00 hr. that it doesn't raise the prices to high, and have to close them down, to many small businesses and even bigger businesses are closing down now because they can't afford to pay their workers and keep the prices down where their customers can afford the food, but they are one of my favorite fast food places to eat on this side of town.”
“One of the best Korean places in town! I'm super grateful that we have them. Never had anything there that wasn't delicious, and their kastu curry is bomb. Great service too!”
“Victoria is so Friendly we love Victoria at BLVD. Thank you for Lunch for NAPD..”
“The food was amazing. The portions are big except our table, much smaller than surrounding tables plates. It was a much older crowd and our table was under 55🤔”
“Lengthwise The Pub exceeded all my expectations! The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between relaxed and lively, making it a great spot whether you’re catching up with friends or just unwinding after a long day. The food was fantastic—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care—and the drink selection was impressive with something for everyone. What really stood out was the service: friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. You can tell they take pride in creating a great experience. Highly recommend stopping by—you won’t be disappointed!”
“Amazing food, service and atmosphere!! Ribeye steak was cooked perfectly and was one of the best steaks I've ever had.”
“Really good from the moment you walk in. Greeted by a beautiful woman with a beautiful smile. The waiter was engaged and helpful. The food was fantastic and the wine selection so good I bought and drank a bottle. Shocked an Italian Restaurant this good, in of all places, Bakersfield.”
“We love their pizza, they acknowledge you and greet you right as you are going in. Very polite and great atmosphere, staff is really professional and they are willing to help you out. Their pizza is not too doughy it is just the right amount, The sauce is not acidic and has that tomato taste. We got mild wings they were just perfect for us not too spicy.”
“Always have the best tasting beers 🍻 you can’t go wrong and they have the best service ! Been coming for years and don’t plan on stopping.”
“My husband and I have been regulars here for a while. The food and service here is just amazing. my favorite is the chicken marsala and lobster ravioli. Liz is the best waitress there hands down. Always so friendly! I can't recommend this place enough.”
“I just got done eating there the food and the customer service is really good I really recommend people to go try local restaurants and try your local shopping centers that way you could get to know what's out in your community this place was really good the food was great the service was even better but most of all it was a good way to see what was out in my community thank you and God bless”

“Everything is very delicious and the service and waitresses are very friendly 😋💗”
“This is the best north Indian dhaba food i've ever had! Homely authentic food yet delicious...my favourites were amritsari kulcha and mixed paratha. Very friendly staff and truly care about the customer experience and willing to customize the thalis and meals per our preferences. We ended up staying an extra night in bakersfield so that we could experience breakfast again the next day. Truly hidden gem place run by the couple.”
“Such a great, amazing experience!!!!!! Recently celebrated my beautiful wedding! Kristin was such an amazing coordinador, extremely helpful thru out the whole process on my wedding planning! I would do it all over again! ❤️ Thank you Kristin truly appreciate you!

Thank you chef 🧑🍳 Everyone whom worked the wedding, me and my husband truly appreciate you all. You are all an amazing team!”
“Food was super good and we really enjoyed our meal here. Portions are good and you leave feeling satisfied. Though their menu is extensive, everything we ordered came out perfectly seasoned! My parents are old school Korean and ate every single thing on their plate. Was great to see them finish a meal outside of our own house! Service was nice and quick. Would recommend over and over again. All the best to this restaurant, they deserve it!”

“That Smash Shack is a fantastic place for anyone craving a flavorful and satisfying burger experience. The atmosphere is casual, welcoming, and perfect for a quick meal or a relaxed visit with friends. The food was fresh, expertly prepared, and packed with flavor, with every bite showcasing quality ingredients and attention to detail.

The staff was friendly, attentive, and efficient, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience from start to finish. I appreciated the clean environment and the overall commitment to quality. That Smash Shack exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for great food and excellent service.”
“Really enjoyed this place. Small, quiet. Food is on the higher end side so prices match that. I had the Rigatoni with pepper and it was fantastic. Sauce was nice and creamy.”
“We ate dinner tonight and had a great experience. We were served by a terrific waitress, Beatrice. She was impressive. She never wrote anything down and got everything right. We felt like we were her only table with her attentiveness even though the restaurant was busy. Next time we go we’re asking to sit in her area. And the food was excellent as it always.”
“O'Hennings is truly a hidden gem. I tend to go either Tuesday or Wednesday nights. The bartender, Sheila, is the sweetest person. The drinks were poured perfectly, and she got everyone at the bar to play games. Due to its location, I was sort of hesitant to go in, but once you step inside, it's very inviting and calm. The parking lot is well lit, and theres a Taco truck right outside with their own seating area, or you can take your food into the bar. The only downside is that it's kind of dated inside.”
“We had such a great time as a family for my husband’s Birthday! Thank You! Our Server was Great!”
“Been coming to champions for 2 months now and I gotta say i improved more than I thought I would in 2 consistent months, coach rock always corrects me from the ground up and always puts me on game when I need it. great gym, great people.”
“Luis , a teppanyaki cook was very entertaining, enthusiastic and food was awesome!”
“VIP Lounge truly lives up to its name! From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted with a stylish, upscale atmosphere that feels both exclusive and welcoming. The ambiance is perfect—great music, comfortable seating, and a vibe that’s ideal for a night out. The drinks are expertly crafted, and the service is top-tier: attentive, friendly, and professional. Everything is designed to make you feel like a VIP. Whether you’re celebrating or just unwinding, VIP Lounge delivers an exceptional experience. Highly recommended!”
“The taste of the breakfast potato’s (my fave) & everything I tasted made sharing a meal with family the best of times!”
“Great place to party! Especially when Lisa is bar tending! Love her!!!”
“If you want the very tastiest, off the charts flavor shrimp cocktail then you have come to the right place. I’m not going to lie, first impression was a small trailer with a table to eat right in a gas station parking lot but All that fades away once you begin eating. The Clamato base and perfectly chopped veg and cilantro and tons of good size shrimp! They are not skimpy but generous to a fault in my opinion than most restaurants will offer and topped with ripe avocado slices! We were served both tostada style tortillas and saltine crackers and napkins and soup size spoons. The 32 oz tall cup was rimmed with Michelada Sal con Chile! PERFECTION in a cup. The proprietors are clean cut, nice uniforms and very accommodating and friendly and bilingual. We will return because there was nothing preventing us from becoming repeat loyal customers. The menu is extensive too! Bravo! Enthusiastic thumbs up! Well done! The 32 oz was large enough for 2 people to be satisfied (on this occasion). Try them once I guarantee you will be satisfied too”
“Ever since the new owners took over they just keep improving!Mind u, I wasn’t a longtime customer from back in the day, however, in MY opinion, it has DRASTICALLY IMPROVED! Love the live bands almost every weekend, drink specials, KARAOKE on Thursday & Friday night & did I happen to mention the absolute BEST BARTENDERS ANYWHERE! As Toby Keith would say…”I love this bar” go check it out!”
“7/6/25 I so enjoyed my Beef bento delicious,sushi, salad so fresh our server was great Davy O I will for sure return, We were a party of 12 with 3 children they also loved it!”
“McGarry's Irish Pub is a favorite of ours because of the wonderful service the staff, management, and security provide. The bartenders are very skilled in the profession. It is a very comfortable and clean pub.”
“Cazuelas is straight fire 🔥 I’ve been going there for about six years and they never disappoint. The octopus is always on point crispy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly every time. You can tell they know what they’re doing in the kitchen. Only thing I’d say is I wish the portions were like how they used to be, a little bigger. Other than that, the food is always solid and worth it every time.”
“Apparently my first review didn't post and those that waited on me and prepared my delicious meal deserve a glowing review and gratitude. Visiting Bakersfield, I decided to enjoy a steak dinner with lobster. I rarely eat shellfish but this entire meal was past a 10 and off the charts with deliciousness! ??? Major yummmmm!! I also enjoyed the brownie dessert that was topped with ice cream and scooped whipped cream. Oh my goodness gracious delectable. I also decided to order a slice of carrot cake to go and enjoy for the next 2 days. I was pleasantly surprised by the dessert being sent home with me as compliments from the management. The carrot cake slice was huge and sweet and delicious and I ate off of it for the 2 days of my visit. I know this is long but y'all must try the Stockdale location of Outback in Bakersfield, CA. As they say....G'day mates.”

“We had dinner there last night, one of the best fillets I’ve had in quite some time, lobster was excellent, service, off the charts. That folks is why we keep coming back!!!”
“My husband has been saying he wanted to try Brazas for several weeks, and we finally made it in. We enjoyed incredible food, a wonderful mimosa bar and phenomenal service. I was literally texting friends and family giving them a play by play of our experience. Hands down the best customer service we’ve experienced locally in quite some time. We will definitely be back on a regular basis!”
“This place is definitely my comfort zone. I've always loved stand-up and watching some of the greats come to Bakersfield is awesome! I was the only one to take a pic with Paul Rodriguez after he said he's retiring from comedy so that was something 😁 My favorite show so far was Gianmarco Soresi when he called himself a "straggot". Good vibes, drinks and great food 🤗”

“You recently Changed the fries. People tell me they loved the thick perfectly seasoned fries. No one in my group likes the skinny dry fries. Can you bring back the old style fries, just give us less to make up for whatever you need to do. Thanks. We have been customers since you opened and we love the fish.”
“Great place to eat. I have been eating at El Portal since they opened on Ming Avenue. Now I enjoy lunch with my dad as often as possible.”
“This may have just became my favorite taco spot!! Met with smiles at the window, I had questions beyond my Spanish capabilities and the lovely woman’s english, yet the cook/owner/ man behind the counter was so descriptive and patient. Tuesday had tacos for a Buck!! So I ordered some carne asada and el pastor. I also needed to try the rice and beans, they tell a lot about a business. We added two canned Pepsis and for under $15 fed both of us well. The asada tacos were perfection!! Melt in your mouth perfection, the produce was fresh, the salsa was dynamite, and I could have put down a dozen. El Pastor was delicious only dimmed by the excellence of the asada. Then the tell all… the rice and beans l… they were done by a perfectionist taught by a grandmother, or Abuela in this case. Whole pinto “pot” beans were seasoned to perfection and the rice was what I’ve been searching for since my favorite restaurant closed a few years back. If you haven’t tried this truck, Do It! After hearing the love coming from the cook as he described what things were, I’m coming back, going back, may never leave. There’s so much more I need to experience. I’ll keep you posted. Good no no, I take that back, excellent food!! Great prices! Lovely customer service!! Don’t miss out!!”
“Mothers Day We went really good service and cold beer and the chili verde omelette was the best !!”

“We went here to pick our daughter’s 13th birthday cake. And wow, absolutely amazing, beautiful and delicious. Went above and beyond our expectations. The young ladies that worked there were so patient and kind the atmosphere was so warm and inviting I would highly recommend. I absolutely love this little bakery.”
“Very disappointed in my kids turkey sandwich that I always order at the Mount Vernon location but decided to go here because I was in the area. The bread was so salty on top that I could not eat my sandwich and it had no mayonnaise on it and it was sloppily made. So needless to say I am very disgusted and disappointed with this location and will not be returning. These employees need to pay attention to what the hell they're doing”
“Took my daughter for her birthday. The place was busy. The staff took the time to greet us. Took our order right away. One of best part of this little gem is. The old school menu options. I had an open face turkey sandwich. 1980's reruns of the price is right. It took me back to my childhood.”
“Delicious. Make me remind of my school days. Amazing street food.”

“A bad experience was immediately taken care no questions asked, and that’s great customer service,
I came in for a Dubai strawberry cup today, the first time it was made the cup was half empty, I was quite surprised considering the cost is $12
I saw on the crumbl instagram the cup is supposed to be completely full even overflowing.
So I reached out to the store and she immediately offered to remake it free of charge, I appreciate the quick response immediate action.
It was delicious!
Here are some photos of the first cup and the properly made cup.”
“extremely poor service. my boys were at a birthday party and it took an hour just to get drinks, at that they warm bottled drinks. then it took another hour or longer to get food. no one ever walked up to them for 45 min. and was not even a busy night not very many other customers their. never came back to refill. the drinks. extremely unacceptable service. it is sad when you can get better service and food from a food truck than an actual restaurant. not sure where to leave star rating but it would be -⭐”

“2 bites in im melting. Finally some good Mexican food off the 5 freeway. Food was hot, meat had so much flavor and don't get me started on the salsa. Prices are fair and everyone was so nice. Portions you can not complain about. I see why they won an award 🏆. My new spot before I head up north or south. I can see my self being a regular.”
“Lovely people running the place! Friendly staff and the friggin curry is so good. Flavors are top tier and the quickness of the ordering makes it a great spot for a lunch break. Extra try the cinnanann bread. Portion sizes ✅✅ nice place to sit and have your curry as well ✅ tikka masala ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“The coffee here has always been good and definitely gives me the caffeine I need to actually stay awake throughout the day. Service is fast even when they're busy. I will say the pastries tend to be dry, but to me the coffee is what matters and thats always great. Atmosphere is awesome with cozy/nerdy vibes 👍”
“All our food was delicious. Everything had a very fresh taste. We had pork soup dumplings, wonton soup, potstickers and toothpick lamb. It was a lot of food for two people. Definitely want to try more of the menu items. All around good experience. Friendly staff and good food.”
“I always get amazing service here and I love this place. They definitely make the best smoothies. I have met the owner on a couple occasions too and he is very nice and I know the ingredients are fresh bc on one occasion I was there when he was dropping off fresh veggies and fruit. I guess the ppl here have me spoiled bc they call me by name and ask about my kids and how they are doing. They talk to me like they know me and they already know what I am going to order when I walk through the door. You don’t get that kind of customer service just anywhere. The smoothie I always get is the PB mocha and recently started getting it made green and omg…so good! Totally recommend you try it. The last couple times I was a little disappointed bc my smoothie just wasn’t the same, it was very icey and not blended well and it was made wrong. I figured it was bc it was a new person bc they have never made it like this before and sure enough it was. As soon as they found out about it though they immediately fixed it and made it right. I do love this place so much. I’ll never go anywhere else for a smoothie. If you haven’t tried it yet, you definitely should.”
“Stopped into Rooster’s Cantina and let’s just say… The nachos disappeared faster than we’d like to admit and the burger absolutely hit the spot.
Huge shoutout to our server, Brooklyn, who brought great energy to the table. Friendly, fun, and the kind of service that makes a place feel like your new go-to spot. Great drinks, tasty bites, and a comfortable vibe. We’ll definitely be back!”
“Food is sooo good here. The cook is really dedicated to making each dish special to the liking of the customer. For instance, I wanted something spicy but “white boy spicy” and she knew right away to make it medium spicy. I live in San Jose and I was passing through Bakersfield and had a hankering for Thai food. I’m really glad I found this place. The owner was so sweet! Check out what I had I the photos.”
“Oscar was our waiter for lunch. He’s very accommodating. He brought our drinks right away. Took our order. He was friendly, outgoing very positive vibe. Our order without any problems. The steak was cooked to perfection. Even asked if you wanted tea to go. he was an excellent waiter.”
