“Love love love In and Out burger!!!“

“AMAZING!!! That’s all I need to say but, I’ll elaborate. Christopher and Barbara were excellent and so sweet! Very welcoming from the moment I walked in, to when I was on my way out. All of the other staff was great as well, but Barbara and Christopher were exceptional!! As soon as we took a bite of the burgers we all got lost in the taste, and stopped talking completely. Everything was on point 10/10 all around. Best In-n-out in Bakersfield!!!“

“This night was the first time we were greeted. My husband and I usually go to this location of Blaze pizza on Coffee Road. Tonight was a good service by Wendy and staff. She was attentive and pizza great. Wendy did a good job. It wasn't burnt or under cook like another times. Wendy and staff was industrious unlike other times.“

“I would definitely recommend it for it's different, but definitely good potato snacks, however, when eating there or waiting your order then you definitely want to sit somewhere else. All of their tables and chairs were so sticky, looked, and felt like they hadn't been cleaned in forever“

“Me and my daughter's favorite place for some delicious fast fried chicken 💯“

“I'm visiting from England. My first time eating Mexican food. These quesabirria were simply one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten. Shared one to taste and then went back for more. If that were the last thing I ever ate, I would die a happy woman!!!“

“The staff is absolutely amazing here my kids love coming here . Super friendly and very clean they clean the tables with wipe not a old nasty towel. I don't know the name of the cashier is not on the recipe but check number was 10097. He was very nice to my kids and helpful. Thank you“

“I would highly recommend this Chick Fil a to all my family and friends. Clean restaurant with nice courteous workers. Fast service that works so hard to please every customer. Good it top notch and cooked perfectly the same every time I eat at this establishment. The employees will go out of their way to help you.“

“As for fast food junk food I prefer their ice cream twists over other Frostees. I'll pass other Frostees and go across town to come to this one. Apple Jack banana is my go to but I've gotten at least 6 flavors in the past. They have more flavors than their competitors. I can't give them five stars because I've never had their cooked food. The drive-thru is weird to get in and out of especially for big vehicles, but I still come here. The window attendants are always super nice. I've literally never had a complaint about my ice cream when I come here.“

“Excellent choice when you are watching your weight, cutting down on carbs and want affordable healthy fast food.“

“We were travelling from Arizona to San Jose and found this spot on the way for a quick bite
One of the best chicken sandwiches I’ve had, it was cooked perfectly, crispy outside and tender inside
Their fries were very crispy and seasoning was awesome !“

“This was my first time trying Hot Tender Wings as it was recommended to me by my friend and my FIRST time I was so impressed I am leaving my first review ever. Once we entered we were immediately greeted. They also offered to go through the menu with us as we were first time customers. We were also given complimentary appetizers to try the mango habanero, the sweet chili, and hot lemon pepper. All these were amazing! Will definitely come back and order these flavors and more! Best wings I’ve tried. Tacos were also very delicious. #returningcustomer“

“Amazing because me and my girlfriend enjoy the food really love it“

“Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm“

“Honestly my dad always finishes first whenever we go to Jack or McDonald’s even when he gets their biggest burger, but this time he finished second to last and he was highly full and satisfied. My mom and everyone also enjoyed the taste and freshness of the fries🍟“

“Great food especially the bread which is my favorite“

“I ordered from Grubhub. The food was nice and hot, but I probably wouldn’t order from here again. The butter chicken was soooo sweet. I’ve never had it taste like that before. It literally tasted like tomato soup with a few spices with chicken pieces added. I was super disappointed. The plain rice was good and so was the garlic naan. The pista kulfi just tasted like frozen heavy whipping cream, so that was also disappointing. I would actually give 3.5/5 but I rounded up to 4 stars.“

“Good fast service, food was quality and a rare staple for those that know.“

Even the worker on her break eating her lunch welcomed me warmly, and the nice girl who prepared my plate along with the man coming through the door all interacting so well with me and had a wonderful attitude. Thank you so much. It was a rough day and I had nothing but good attitudes all day lol“

“Great food! I love the way this place values the most fragile and innocent among us!“

“This guys are awesome!!! Came in the morning and the service was definitely amazing!!! Food was so great! Everything was clean and perfect!!! This is exactly how a fast food restaurant should be ran!!! Every time I get Carl’s Jr. in town I always come to this specific location!“

“The food was hot and fresh. Delicious 😋 great service too.“

“My partner and I were enjoying our one full day off this week and decided to keep it simple: a Taco Bell delivery through DoorDash. No cooking, no dining out—just a relaxed day at home.

Everything was smooth until I realized I couldn’t customize items on the DoorDash menu. Since I have to avoid dairy for health reasons, this was a problem. I called the store directly and spoke with (I believe) Zane. Even though he was clearly busy, he was patient, helpful, and worked with me to make sure the “no cheese” notes were added to my order in real time.

That small gesture made a big difference. After a long week of work, it was a relief not to run into order issues or have to leave the house. Because of the service I received, I’ll be saving this Taco Bell as my go-to location moving forward.

Thank you, Zane—you turned a technical hiccup into a positive experience. This store gets my recommendation for anyone looking for great customer service with their Taco Bell favorites.“

“This was a fun little blast from the past. I have not been here in over 20 years and was surprised to see it still going strong. The burgers are just as delectably, greasy, messy, and delicious as I remember. Nom nom nom.

The clerk was busy but still managed to smile and be polite. I ordered onion rings but got fries instead...and still ate every one. I ate my burger with a peach shake, my dad had vanilla.

We spent $22 for a burger, fries, and two shakes. The wait was about 7-10 minutes. Service is slower than fast food, but the food is better and the place still has personality. I love old places like this.

The parking lot is very tight, so big trucks be forewarned.“

“Those burgers are Hittas bro, hitting the spot every time!
I eat pops at least 2-3x a month, and it's worth it. 38$ for 5 combo meals with cheese!? Bet. I'm taking that any day.
Been living in the area 15 years and it never dies off. Always having great burgers. Thank you guys!“

“Jesse was super helpful and kind when taking our order. He even asked if we needed our hamburger plain. Most likely because we are ordering a kids hamburger for breakfast lol. My son is a picky eater but somehow I always forget to order that burger plain and he won’t eat it. So thank you for that prompt!!“

“Happy Dragon has always treated me like family .from the employees to the owners. No different today! I had an amazing experience with server Daniel at the coffee location . Going above and beyond with exceptional interpersonal skills and expeditious service. Christian is doing great with this company. A True happy dragon with high quality food.“

“Good food good Service 100%“

“Inlove With The Wings!!🍗💕✅“

“Best chili cheese dog I’ve had in awhile, fries where delicious 💜😘“

“I love frotee freeze this place has it ups and downs, the shakes are amazing and Soni she pastrami sandwiches butttttttt the young lady messed up my order and gave me someone else burger when I ordered the pastrami sandwich meal.
Place isnpricey bur its great if they can get your order right.“

“So I love this place things are always good and hot and fresh and the ice creams are always good too. The line is always a issue but not all that bad considering it's all made to order not like a McDonald's wide selection and friendly staff“
