Happy Jack's Pie 'n Burger

Sadly, the owner needs to learn training skills; the way she spoke to her cook and coworker Gloria, and talked about them in a small place, made it really hard to love the experience of a small diner. I wanted to say something, but I didn’t want to make it worse for her employee. The burgers were good, but the experience was unpleasant.

Best place in the whole area, super kind staff, historical spot in Bakersfield.
My friend and I came from Italy and we unexpectedly found this spectacular diner by chance, on our road trip to Los Angles.
Here, we met very wonderful people in a cozy and informal place.
The food here is spectacular and with the atmosphere that Bakersfield’s citizens create, you will have the best meal of your life.

It’s not something we can explain, you need to feel it.

Don’t forget to try the peanut butter pie.

Thanks Bakersfield!

Always a delight to split a burger and salad with goodies with my wife. A slight change in taste of the tomato base dressing but very good. Not sure about the $2 extra plate fee though.

If me and my husband can give this restaurant and absolute zero we would we had terrible service from the owner she refused to give what we wanted and when she messed up my order she just scraped off the cheese and try to give me the same Burger back did not want to make it fresh and refused to give my husband a double cheeseburger and after that she proceeded to dump all the sauce with her fingers onto my husband's Burger without my husband's consent and the owner was extremely rude to me and my husband worst experience I ever had in Bakersfield

I had the cheeseburger. I have to say it was really good. The next trip will be the chili size or beef enchiladas. Everyone was friendly, when we walked in staff and customers were laughing and talking. Really awesome place. I loved it. What you see for prices is what you pay. CASH ONLY, so stop by an atm first.

Small, cash-only diner in the heart of Bakersfield. Excellent service and food. I got the Ortega bacon cheeseburger (Mikaela, the hostess said it was a popular selection). Ended with a banana cream pie that was flavorful and a thin crust. Great service, 50s and 60s music played in the background and prompt food service. No pictures but sure did enjoy the experience! Again, cash only, be prepared. I will be back!

First time here and it was amazing. The service was phenomenal. My fiancé had today off and we decided to try it out. I’m so glad that we did. I tried the bacon burger and my fiancé tried the Ortega burger. Both were big and juicy. We got a slice of peanut butter pie and it was delicious. That wasn’t even the best part. We were served by Frances the owner and her granddaughter Tori. They have impeccable customer service. We brought our 3 month old son and they just adored him. We felt so welcome. We absolutely loved it here. Everything about this place was outstanding. Definitely 5 out of 5 ⭐️
I’ll recommend this place to everyone I know.
