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....read full review
A friend and I stopped in on our way to the Famosa Drag Strip yesterday. It was our first time there and the service, the cleanliness, the atmosphere and the food was great! A 5 Star in my book.
We celebrated my birthday on taco Tuesday & we also participated in the line dancing after dinner in their brand new venue. It was rustic with a timeless, vintage flair. The line dancing was family friendly and so much fun. I had the steak salad. It was solid! Good size steak medallions in a super fresh bed of lettuce and assorted veggies including tomatoes and beets with home made blue cheese dressing. Our daughter who almost never finishes any of her meals consumed most...read full review

Ethel's Old Corral Cafe is a charming, old-fashioned, western-style cafe that offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Located on Alfred Harold Hwy, it provides a great view of the Tall Indian landmark. The service is friendly and efficient, with a hostess/waitress who promptly takes drink and food orders. The menu features a range of options, including the popular pastrami sandwich, deep-pit dinner, and the Patty Melt, which is a big patty that many enjoy. Customers have also tried the buffalo burger, which, although a bit small, has become a favorite for its great taste. The cafe is clean and well-maintained, with new floors and a modern jukebox playing pop and country music. The food is delicious, with the pastrami sandwich being a standout, piled high with juicy meat and served with crinkle-cut French fries. The deep-pit dinner is a hit, featuring tender and smoky meat served with a roll and beans with cheese. While the peach cobbler is a sweet treat, some have found the deep-pit tacos less impressive due to an overpowering burnt taste. Ethel's Old Corral Cafe has a cozy biker bar/restaurant feel, with friendly and helpful staff. It offers bar seating, table seating, and outside covered patio seating, making it comfortable even on hot days. The cafe has plenty of parking and wheelchair accessibility, making it a great place to stop for a meal. Overall, Ethel's Old Corral Cafe is highly recommended, especially for those in the Bakersfield area looking for a bite to eat.
