Reminds me of the Tams locations from Los Angeles, which my family liked to go and grab the weekend dinner. I like that they have a lot on the menu, though I haven't tasted everything, we had burgers and the kids had chicken tenders. All around very good. Burgers were a decent size and with fresh ingredients, the fries were crispy and well-seasoned. Didn't taste the kids stuff but they didn't leave any leftovers so I assume they like it. I think the only problem for some would be the price, we paid $55 for a family of 4. But everything is expensive for food. Overall a great dinner.

We have gone to this place for years. Their burgers are what you should expect. Their fries are really good and same with their zucchini. If you're not sure about which burger to get try the california avocado burger or if buying for a family you can't beat the family pack deal. Their ranch dressing is homemade and worth it as well.Vegetarian options: Not a vegetarian type of place..unless you are one of those vegetarians that will eat a grilled cheese cooked right side by side with burger. They ha e good food but no to the vegetarians. I will say that I would go there just for their fried zucchini!

One of Bakersfield's best kept secrets. Great, fast, friendly service. Amazing food. It's our family go to place at least once a week. If you don't feel like eating inside, try their drive thru.

Golden ox has been a staple here in town since I was a kid, I'm glad to see this business is still around, they have always had good food and service, never had bad food from them, my go to is the gyro sandwich cause it's hard to find a good gyro these days, but they make a great one. However this trip switched it up and got some new items to try, tried their Chile verde burrito, big burrito had really good flavor and man it was packed with meat. Definitely worth it. Also we got the steak dinner, the steak had a really nice char and flavor. The garlic bread is tasty and decent fries, side salad was good, they have that good good ranch. Also the fried zucchini was on point. They definitely don't short ya on portions. Give em a try. They have something for everyone.

For what it is, it's pretty good. I had the Ox Special, my wife the BLT. Good, not great, food. Two meals under $25. Can't beat that. Basic, but clean, dine in area. The staff makes it 4 stars.

Food has good flavor. Great service and I love how small the restaurant is and how it’s maintained. Feels very homey.

Good value and really tasty! Very casual, but they still bring your food out to your table. We really enjoyed the Chili Verde Omelette and Chicken Quesadilla!

Food is wholesome and good! The place is kept very clean and service is awesome!! Worth a try! We visit here regularly.
I recently tried this place and was blown away by the delicious food! The burgers were juicy and flavorful, cooked to perfection. The pastrami, zucchini, and mushroom options were also fantastic, offering a unique twist on traditional burger sides. The service was friendly and efficient, adding to the overall great experience. If you're looking for a place with amazing burgers and more, golden ox is a must-try!

Would give them a 4 or better but the food is too expensive and they put the burger in sideways so the bun and bag got moist. Young Lady at the window was very nice and service was

I ordered a pastrami a LA favorite. However this meat was bland, bread was stale .. harder than a rock. The service was horrible. The lady at the drive thru was ignoring us and laughing in the background. I would recommend to go to the

I hadn't been in a while and I was really disappointed in my burger. The patty was very thin and burnt. I don't mind a little char but when you have a burnt after taste that isn't good.
