50 Best Burger Restaurants in Bakersfield

“down the street from my apartment awesome food thanks habit“

“Love love love In and Out burger!!!“

“Maybe it’s because I’m from the East Coast, but I honestly think these are the best burgers in the world. In-N-Out never disappoints — everything tastes fresh and just hits different.

Definitely try the “four by four animal style” — it’s insane. And if you didn’t know, they also have a secret menu, which makes it even better.“

“You don’t have to take my word for it, but take my word for it that if you get the single cheeseburger combo with extra cheese and pair it with some of the “juicy sauce”, you’ll love it. But you don’t have to take my word for it, but you should.. 💜👑“

“I love this inn and out so much the people are so friendly and welcoming every time I go there I have amazing friends such as miss manny then Silvia. Then there is ulyesus Everyone is just the best plus the food was just amazing 🤩 I love them so much“

“Awesome waiter, great food and fast service. ❤️“

“Really like this place. There salad is really good and there food is fresh.“

“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!“

“A good cheeseburger, crinkle fries both delicious!“

“best burgers in Bakersfield“

“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.“

“Interesting (in good sense) breakfast choices. Shakshouka was perfection. Finally, it's rare to get a sweet potato dish that tastes amazing. Don't miss Moo Creamery's version of sweet potato.“

“I recently tried Ortegas Burgers and although I was skeptical of the location at first ,the food was surprisingly good. I ordered the taquito plate, which came with a salad and didn’t include a drink. The portion size was a little smaller than expected for the price, but the flavor made up for it. I also tried the Bravo Burger combo it was delicious! The fries were well seasoned and tasted really good.
Their shakes are also great. They were able to accommodate my request for a Neapolitan shake even though it’s not on the menu, which I really appreciated. The size of the shake is actually pretty generous too. The service was excellent. The girl taking our order was kind, attentive, and made the experience even better. Overall, the food quality is solid. If the portions were a bit more generous for the price, it would be even better. I’d still recommend it if you’re in the mood for tasty , well-seasoned food, great shakes, and friendly service.“

“Great breakfast rap egg bacon and cheese with avocado 🥑.“

“Been living in the neighborhood for 15 years, I've seen this building be transformed and stay set with Sam's One of the most popular spots for the people in the area. Firrrrrreeee ass ranch, bomb burgers and their chili fries bro.... Ask for chili cheese fries and an extra side of ranch, boi they hitting hard after leaving the shop next door and across the street. If y'all know, YALL KNOW!!!
Shout out to Ol' Boy steady running both spots 💪💪“

“lived next door for 20 years pretty much ate there every day been gone away from there for about 2 years and I still go back“

“Came here a few weeks ago for first time, and it was really really good. Loved the fries, and burger was so good. Place was clean and had lots of seating. Staff was friendly and food was made fast. My wife loved her pineapple 🍍 milkshake as well. Definitely would recommend this place“

“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.“

“too much seasoning on the fries and not enough seasoning on the burgers don't get 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 burgers were juicy, well balanced, and served hot, while the portions offered great value. 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.“

“This place is becoming my favorite in town, i always stop by on my Monday route. The produce on the burgers is always fresh and crunchy, while the buns are my FAVORITE part. Perfectly soft and fresh. And the prices are crazy low for how good it it.“

“I recommend burgers and breakfast burrito & fried zucchini & mushrooms“

“Love going to this restaurant. One of my favorite healthy places to eat. There aren’t many in Bakersfield that have locally grown food to enjoy a nice meal at. Besides, anywhere you go is expensive but here you’re getting quality food and locally sourced food. Heather was even there that day and came out and shared her vision with us. We are very excited for her and wish her all the best!!“

“Gracie gave us such a great experience at The Habit! She was friendly, patient, and made sure everything came out right. The food was fresh and hot, and her positive attitude made the visit even better. She checked on us throughout the meal and provided excellent customer service. Definitely one of the reasons we’ll be coming back. Thank you, Gracie!“

“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!“

“Best burger place in town, the food is freshly made and delicious the lady I believe she might be owner gave us great service even gave my 2 children free drinks. I refuse to eat at any other burger place besides this one seriously the best.“

“Our friends recommended this spot not too long ago and I’m so glad they did because this has become my husbands and mine’s favorite place to eat out. We live 45 minutes away and we make a point to eat here every time we are near the area. So far my husband and I have gotten the Steak Al Norte, mini smash sliders, Pollo Al Ajo Confit, the Smash Burger Salad, the Naughty Fries (which taste exactly like In n Out animal style fries) and their signature Cold Brew drinks! Everything we have gotten is delicious and we are planning on working our way through the menu as we continue to return.
In addition to the great food, the staff is friendly and the service is quick, you get a lot of food so the price is well worth it, the atmosphere and decor is gorgeous and the space is nice and big, ready to welcome groups.
Luna has found themselves some new regulars as a result!“

“The aesthetic of the place and the food is nice.“

“One of the BEST restaurants in Bakersfield . The burgers and fries are big and tasty . The juices they have are incredible. Will definitely be coming back .“

“They are very kind, friendly and make you feel comfortable! The food is delicious and we barely waited 10 minutes for our order to be done! I highly recommend! It’s the perfect place to bring your family for a nice meal. 😇❤️“

“I give the pizza five stars. Pretty decent atmosphere. Owner who was there seemed pretty solid. On the two occasions I’ve been, there, I had two different bartenders. One gorgeous girl who was extremely friendly and polite. I believe her name was Maddy. The other one kinda masculine, body builder type, extremely rude. I would go back, but not on her shift.“

“Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm“

“Love this place. Burgers are delicious fries are amazing and the people are awesome. Oh and hey have the best jalapeño poppers I’ve ever tried.“

“As soon as I saw that big Zorba's Charbroiled Burgers sign I new right then and there where I was going to eat. Good old Penelope Pittstop my palét from my NASCAR days gave me the heads up about Zorba's...she said every single item on the menu is worth getting, but don't come to Bakersfield without stopping there and getting a couple of hotdogs and rings with your charburgers, they're the best! She was right, everything I got was amazing! especially the dogs!
5 ☆☆☆☆☆'s and worth the stop!“

“Amazing food, service and atmosphere!! Ribeye steak was cooked perfectly and was one of the best steaks I've ever had.“

“Decided to give this place a try, I'm glad I did! Prices weren't expensive at all. I ordered the chicken sandwich and it was huge! The burger was good and tasty. Fries were 10/10. Definetely hitting this spot over any chain fast food restaurant from now on!“

“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.“

“The best chili verde pizza I’ve ever had! I love how much events they have for the community, young people, families, and children. This is my son’s favorite pizza spot!! 🤘 🍕“

“Very good burger, the appearance is a solid 10. Is not sloppy or messy. The taste is a solid 10. I got the double Texas with cheese no pickles. It is a good blend and the cheese melts beautifully. I’m not a pickle guy but I’m sure if you like pickles it will taste fresh. I got a large and for the price you get a good amount or fries and a good ice to drink ratio. My kids got the 10 piece chicken nuggets and all my 2 year is saying is yumm. For the price for the chicken nuggets. The amount of fries they put I say it’s better than McDonalds . Really enjoy the atmosphere. Will definitely become a regular.“

“I have been meaning to try this place since they opened, owner was really nice and gave is some great options to try along with good conversation of Greek food.“

“I eat here often. Two or three times a week. I usually have the same thing: The two burgers for $7.99, and a cup of soft serve ice cream. A regular is $2.99 but I often opt for the medium size cup which costs a little more. A friend of mine usually gets his dinner there and he chooses the two burritos and two corn dogs for $7.99. And the $2.99 ice cream cup. This place has been here forever in one guise or another. Strictly outdoor dining, no drive through, and the staff are always friendly and helpful. They have an extensive menu of burgers, sandwiches, salads, shakes, splits, sundaes, and the french fries are big bags. Shop the specials for your burgers and the prices are competitive. If you're hungry and close by check it out!“

“the food is always good, BUT my order is always slightly off. if I order a pastrami burger I get a pastrami sandwich, order a rootbeer float and they will give you a rootbeer, order 2 burgers and they will give you one. I don't uber eats them much because the order is always slightly off. the food is really good though.“

“Absolutely great place to make as one of your first choices for brunch on weekends or lunch, dinner or just drinks during the week. My favorite brunch is "Mom's Waffles" or "Biscuit Benedict". You can't go wrong with any of their burgers either. Even the Tatter Tots are seasoned perfect. Drinks are delicious. If you like to drink your dessert try the "Lemon Cheesecake Martini". It's family friendly. If you get Nelson as your waiter, tell him you heard he is the best. My wife and I hope you enjoy your visit and a Blessed and Happy New Year - 2025“

“We got off Highway 5 and found this place to grab a bite. I ordered a cheeseburger with fries and a coke and my wife got the mushroom spinach omelette. The mushroom spinach omelette was $25 and worth every penny. I ordered a cheeseburger with lettuce tomato onion and mayo and crispy fries. The burger that came to the table was excellent but I know that the fries were old and Limp so I asked them to remake the order wish they did and they were very good. We had some other items missing or not right but our server Jocelyn did a great job making sure we were happy. I would have given five stars across the board but not for the small mishaps.“

“OMG!!!! that was so delicious. I have the bacon and eggs. the hash browns were right on crispy. I'll be coming back. 😀“

“Food is amazing. Everything I’ve tried on the menu so far has always slapped. Turkey Burger, Cali Burger, Pastrami Burger and I just tried their Philly Cheesesteak, my goodness… it was amazing. Their desserts are delicious. Their fries are bomb too. Definitely my favorite fast food spot!“

“the food is always good, BUT my order is always slightly off. if I order a pastrami burger I get a pastrami sandwich, order a rootbeer float and they will give you a rootbeer, order 2 burgers and they will give you one.
