“I drove past this restaurant while visiting my sister in the hospital. I’m not from the area but thought I’d get some take-out. It was fresh, hot, and good sized servings. I had Pad Thai and added crispy tofu, as well as the garlic green beans. Delicious!“

“Awesome service. Always a pleasure to have as a waitress Michelle“

“Firestone Grill in Bakersfield is a standout dining spot that nails a perfect blend of quality and efficiency with its conveyor-style service. The limited yet high-quality grilled meats are cooked to perfection, and the full bar offers an impressive selection of beers, making it a great pairing for any meal. I loved the self-service approach with attentive staff quietly clearing away dishes, keeping the table tidy without interrupting your experience. The design is charming, with the bar and order counter thoughtfully separated, creating a great flow. Plus, the big screen TVs make it the ideal spot to hang out with friends and catch your favorite game.
Highly recommended for any occasion!“

“This is likely the best Indian food in bakersfield.
The food here is very, very good. The food is very flavorful and not watered down like many other places.
I had the matar paneer, dal makhani, paneer paratha.
I can't wait to go back and try some other dishes.“

“Love ice cream and chemistry? This spot combines the two, making the experience fun and yum. Thai tea was quite small but taste wise, I loved it. Kids loved their nitrous ice cream that they chose from the signature creations list. ⚗️??“

“First time trying them out, came in for lunch. We came a perfect time, around noon, wasn't to busy, but bout 10 minutes after we sat down they got really busy. Staff was very friendly and helpful, since was first visit, we had questions. I ended up with the lunch special, fried rice, with orange chicken and an egg roll. Food was really good. The over all theme and vibe of the restaurant was cool, definitely a good place to come with a group. Will definitely be back again, and recommend it as well.“

“This place was truly impressive, did something I've never done before and went back for lunch the very next day becausewe couldn'tstop talking about the food. The staff was friendly, the sushi was beyond amazing, the prices were reasonable. Especially considering the quality of the fish and clearly expert sushi chefs.

Some of the best rolls were; caterpillar, Mr. Gump, Red Bull, ex-girlfriend (if you like spicy), Naruto (no rice cucumber wrapped), Kuma's special, Into the fire (flaming at your table). The unagi was great, as were bento boxes. My boyfriends spicy chicken was better than my chicken katsu so if your unsure go with spicy chicken. The jalapeño bombs were pretty spicy but so good. I couldn't stop eating them.

I lived in long beach a long time and traveled to major cities a ton for work. I've eaten at a lot of top sushi places and didn't expect to get blown out of the water here. However, it might be tied for the best sushi I've ever had. The excellent service really put it over the top the whole staff was kind, personable, and efficient. Even the hostess and sushi chefs were talkative and enjoyable.“

“I love the way the building has been renovated because I remember when it used to house See's Candy back in the day. I especially love the Rio Bowl and the relaxed atmosphere. I can't wait to go back.“

“I’ve always enjoyed the food and the Luigi’s experience and last night just added to that! I hosted a surprise party in their warehouse and it was phenomenal! Their staff is amazing! From start to finish, they delivered! From their detailed-oriented event coordinator, Lis Clarke, to their friendly, attentive, and fun staff—I am thoroughly impressed! All of my large events will be held at Luigi’s from now on!“

“Great salad and husband loved the Moroccan Lentil Soup Friendly !“

“What a special treat to discover this restaurant my first morning in Bakersfield. Delicious Chilaquiles, and a coffee made with that very special natural sugar found everywhere in Colombia, South America, Panela! Topped off with salsa music. I’ll be back.“

“easily the best ramen place in Bakersfield“

“I had the Moroccan Eggs and they were out of this world amazing! Full of flavor and spice! The perfect breakfast/brunch“

“Very nice food, great value thank you.“

“Reviewed by my wife (Teng) We finally tried Saigon Bento. Their food was really so good! We got the Jurassic pho soup and it was very delicious and satisfying. We also got the Saigon Bento plate and everything in it was so tasty! But the one that stood out was the garlic noodles. It’s so flavorful! The flavors of garlic and Parmesan cheese combination was so savory! Highly recommend!“

“The ambience is so inviting I love the old look of the countertops, but most importantly, the food is absolutely fantastic. We can’t choose just one meal everything we’ve had has been excellent.“

“Acai is fire. Always on point. Just make sure to take your time picking out what you like. They always have so much on the menu, it never gets boring. Sandwich are fresh and giant. Make sure to check them out. We go once or twice a week and it’s always fire. 🔥“

“Great food and excellent service. Our waitress was Fabulla A. Super sweet and very informative. She sold me on the Berry Burst mixed with BJ's Jeremiah Red. Sooooo delicious. I highly recommend. I had the Thai peanut noodles My fam had the chicken parm and my kiddo had wings. Everything was fresh, hot and delicious. Can't forget the Pazookie. 🤌“

“Our group, ten hungry people traveling from San Francisco to Los Angeles stopped in Bakersfield for Thai-Chinese foods. We were lucky, the owner did the cooking for us. Surprisingly, the quality of the food is authentically Thai and Chinese. Kee, the owner is a Chinese from Thailand and owns 3 branches in Las Vegas and other cities too. The service is excellent! and the facilities are very clean.“

“Interesting (in good sense) breakfast choices. Shakshouka was perfection. Finally, it's rare to get a sweet potato dish that tastes amazing. Don't miss Moo Creamery's version of sweet potato.“

“The sandwich and the salad were bomb. The salad was the good kind of extra with a nice touch with the with the cut tangerines and the small grains of Parmesan. It really put it all together and it was super good. It was a pleasant place to eat inside of.“

“This place has the best Mexican food in all of Bakersfield!!! We love their food!! My youngest son loves the fajitas. My oldest son has the chicken tacos. My husband has enchiladas or a tostada. I have chile rellano and asada taco. Everything we’ve had to eat here is delicious!!! Lupita and Betty are the best!!!“

“This place was delicious, affordable and fast. The staff were the nicest I have ever encountered. We were a large party and had the best service. We will definitely be back!“

“This is one of my favorite places to go in town~ They always have the friendliest staff and their food never disappoints! Their new yaki noodles and tazuna rolls are really great. I loved their tazuna roll because I got to build what I like in it, since I always have the hardest time choosing between what roll I want. Their tea is so refreshing to drink! I got the mango black tea and it was definitely the perfect thing to have in today's hot weather. Great place to go for a casual lunch or dinner :) <3“

“This place is great! Today we had sundaes. The black and white is irresistible. We’re traveling through and I wanted to show my children one of my favorite places in Bakersfield. In addition to the ice cream I had to get some candy too. I love the original peanut (tastes like a softer Abba Zabba bar). So addicting! The pistachio is great too! Ambiance had upbeat music, friendly staff and fun atmosphere. The kids loved it!“

“A Hidden Gem! I had the most delightful experience at this café! The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with beautiful decor that gives it a warm, welcoming vibe. The coffee is absolutely top-notch – rich and smooth, just the way I like it. I also tried their signature pastry, and it was to die for! The staff was friendly and attentive, and the service was quick despite the place being busy. I’ll definitely be back for more of their amazing drinks and delicious bites. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful spot to relax or catch up with friends. Five stars all the way!

Kid-friendliness: This café is a dream for families with little ones! The staff is incredibly welcoming, and they go out of their way to make kids feel special. The menu has great options for kids, from fun and healthy snacks to smaller portions of their adult meals. The atmosphere is laid-back, and the space is spacious enough to accommodate strollers and young children without feeling cramped. We had a fantastic time and will definitely be returning regularly. Highly recommend this café for any family with kids!“

“I love this restaurant for both take out and dine in! Such an amazing location. This place has an awesome vibe. Check it out. The service is always on point. The food is delicious also. Try the Garlic Noodles on the app menu. ?

Vegetarian options: Gardein not chicken tenders, not orange orange chicken!“

“After leaving another area restaurant/bar due to zero service, we decided to stop into Nuestro Mexico. So glad we did. The servers remembered us even after it had been awhile since our last visit. We were greeted warmly and seated promptly. From that moment on - the food, cocktails, service was ON POINT! Best decision we made. Comfortable atmosphere in historic central Bako. Highly recommended. We’ll be back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Bomb bomb bomb!!!!! I’ll keep going there until the day I die🤣🤣🤣🤣!!!!!“

“This was my first time having Thai food. I was hesitant but a friend insisted I go with and try. Now, I’m kicking myself for not trying it much earlier. I’m a fan.“

“Stopped in for lunch, and was amazing as always. We’re a Frequent Foodie at Frugatti’s, because of the great service, food, and atmosphere. Don’t skip the dessert, you definitely need that. We met the owner, Ralph, today. It was fun to discuss his future plans and his passion for perfection. Best lace to eat in Bakersfield, hands down.“

“Love going to this restaurant. One of my favorite healthy places to eat. There aren’t many in Bakersfield that have locally grown food to enjoy a nice meal at. Besides, anywhere you go is expensive but here you’re getting quality food and locally sourced food. Heather was even there that day and came out and shared her vision with us. We are very excited for her and wish her all the best!!“

“Agave Grill & Tequila has a fun vibe with a bit of a nightlife twist. It definitely had more of a nightclub feel than I expected, but it was still a nice experience overall. The music was upbeat, the crowd was lively, and the atmosphere had great energy.

The food was solid, and the drink selection especially the tequila options was impressive. It’s a good spot if you’re looking for a place to eat and stay a little later for drinks and music.

Not your typical quiet dinner setting, but if you're in the mood for something with a little more energy, it’s worth checking out!“

“Friendly! Great food and mimosas!“
