50 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Bakersfield

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

“Love love love In and Out burger!!!“

“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.“

“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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.“

“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!“

The food arrived on time, and the overall dining experience felt smooth and enjoyable. The restaurant also maintained excellent cleanliness and hygiene standards, which added to the positive impression.

“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.“

“I love the simplicity of their menu. You have three choices of protein - beef, chicken and tofu with brown or white rice and veggies. The food tastes great with their teriyaki sauce!“

“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.“

“I'm autistic, and I have a bit of food sensory issues, mainly with crunchy or hard foods, so I love coming here and getting the 8.99 meal deal from the value menu, with soft tacos instead of hard. Even when I accidently forget to change the tacos from hard to soft, the workers here know me well enough that they always give me the soft tacos.

Genuinely I love coming here, I always get treated well, and the manager is a really nice lady who always takes the time to talk to me, even when Im overstimulated, and understands if I'm not talkative that day

Its become a routine to come here when I have a bit of money, and I always get the same thing

Thanks to everyone that works here, really“

“It's been years since I last visited this place but I can say I did enjoy my meal and the pleasant atmosphere there. And considering today's prices on food it's still a good bargain. Ordered two #1 meals comes with drinks for less than $25. They do offer senior and or military discount. My wife suggested the we go more often and I agree.“

“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!“
