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 of her taco salad which was a generous serving. She couldn’t stop telling us how good it was! Papa had the very flavorful ground beef tacos with a side of perfectly seasoned potato salad. We ordered a side of carne asada tacos which were a little on the dry and salty side. Although the place was very busy our server was very attentive and recommended their Ribeye special on Thursdays…so, we made it out again tonight to celebrate our anniversary. We both had the amazing ribeye special and boy was it special! Salad was once again so fresh and tasty. The baked potato and sweet potato fries were melt in your mouth yum. The rolls were toasted yet so tender. The steaks were seasoned and cooked to absolute perfection. No need for any condiments on these steaks. We thought it would be good but not that good! Salute to the outstanding chefs! Our server Jasmine was also very attentive and made us feel at home. We ate in the newly extended covered patio which was very inviting but could use better lighting on the outskirts of the patio. We are looking forward to trying the fish Friday specials including shrimp tacos next! Thank you Ethel’s for the outstanding service and for serving up heartwarming meals!

Ate outside and had to battle flies. Food was cold. Waitress was nice.

We tried the Patty Melt with fries and the buffalo burger with fries. The Patty Melt was a big patty but the buffalo burger seemed a little small but both tasted great and the buffalo was my favorite. Bigger buffalo burger would have made it PERFECT!!

The price is good it was $38.97 for two meals with sodas for lunch.

Plenty of parking.

It has a biker bar/restaurant feel, nice and cozy. Staff was friendly and helpful. They had music playing and a tv on in the background.

Our food came out in a timely manner and we had drinks served to us immediately. Great service

There is bar seating, table seating and outside covered patio seating. We sat at the inside tables on a 99 degree day and it was cool and comfortable.

The Indian statue is right out front and you can't miss it.

I would recommend Ethel's old Corral Cafe, if you're in the Bakersfield area stop and have a bite to eat. Next time I want to try the cobbler.

Way cool place. Great food, drinks with top service in a casual relaxed atmosphere.

Ethel's is one of my favorites! Love the food and atmosphere

Nice place

We had my daughter's celebration of life there yesterday and the owners and staff bent over backwards to help us and made it run so smoothly. I highly recommend this venue. Two thumbs up and five stars! Thank you so much Misty!

The food was decent, we went on a Saturday for lunch and it was too noisy.
