“Ethel’s is a family/pet friendly restaurant with inside or outside seating. Carla the owner is the sweetest lady and very hard worker. Always working alongside her employees. The food is great, prices are great for the amount of food. I crave Ethel’s food daily. Me and my family have tried everything on the menu and I highly recommend all of it. Ethel’s host a variety of local bands and line dancing in the event center with Bakersfield Line Dance instructor Joel Hoffman. There is always something to do at Ethel’s and always great food, atmosphere, drinks, and customer service. Thank you Ethel’s team“

“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.“
