“A local quaint Indian restaurant which flies under the radar. The food is undoubtedly one of the best in the US. We had Aloo chat, Kadai Paneer, mix veg paratha and tandoori roti. All were absolutely delicious. Don’t miss it if you’re nearby.“

“A weird mix of military pride and nerdiness with an attached dance hall. You wouldn't think it works, but it totally does.

Great beer and really good food for the price. I wish I had something like this where I live. I'll totally hit this up the next time I'm in town“

“Sports Bar type, screen TV monitors around the bar area, all other dining for 4 basically,but can be set up for more in groups. When busy, it is loud in there. The salads are great for lunch and very large. Really liked the meats and food selection here. Way to go guys“

“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.“

“I had an amazing experience at this Korean restaurant! The seafood pancake was absolutely delicious — perfectly crispy on the outside and packed with plenty of fresh seafood inside. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients. The side dishes were also excellent, especially the pickled cucumbers, which were refreshing and full of flavor. Everything tasted authentic and well-prepared. I’ll definitely come back again!超级好吃😋“

“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. 🤌“

“easily the best ramen place in Bakersfield“

“This has always been a great place but they feel understaffed. 20-30 minutes to receive first drinks and then be able to order appetizers. The servers are friendly and doing there best but I feel like they need to lower volume until they have staff to accomdate the amount of people“

“Most under rated Mexican restaurant in Bakersfield! Amazing family owned! A must check out place!“

“Chili verde omelette 🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“You gotta give their chili cheese fries a try, it was so good I went back to get another one,(that same day) lol🤣🤦🏽‍♀️ #noshame“

“5 stars for this type of place. As I always say, go i to places being realistic about what to expect. 2 of us went on a Friday at 5:30pm. It was busy. It was Happy Hour! We grabbed a drink and hung out by the bar until our table was ready. That took , maybe, 20 minutes. Not bad, in my opinion. We had a nice booth, and it was a fun atmosphere. We ordered happy hour appetizers and they came out in 10 minites. Super fastband friendly service. I think they have a well oiled machine going at this place. The pruce during happy hour can't be beat for the qualuty if food you get. I think its a great place to meet up with friends, have dinner with the kids, or a first meet-up kind of spot.“

“A good cheeseburger, crinkle fries both delicious!“

“An iconic Bakersfield coffee shop. All local not corporate. Ms Jaydan is the ultimate server.“

“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.“

“My husband stopped in for lunch today and got a bunch of food for us to try we have seen it before and said many times that we wanted to try it because you can smell it driving by and it smells amazing and he finally had the time. Let me say this food is absolutely amazing we got a meat platter it had to have like 5 different things with rice and beans and wow 🤩 the chicken was the best chicken I’ve ever had we even got plantains and some pastries I highly recommend and the owner Joe was so nice we will definitely be back“

“This is the best Papa Murphy’s to go to. The staff has always been great! Pizza’s are very good as well! If I lived across town, North Chester Papa Murphy’s is where I would go, hands down! Even though it’s take out only, the atmosphere is very pleasant, the staff are always welcoming!!!“

“best burgers in Bakersfield“

“Food was good and service was great a friendly server with a smile“

“I've ordered from Queen Pizza multiple times and every time people have asked me where the Pizza & Chicken are from. I definitely recommend them... and their service is amazing!“

“This place has something called the grande burrito and they mean it this burrito is huge it can easily feed 2 people twice for just under 20$ and it's good you can order it anyway you like it if you ask them to thay will cut it in half and put it into two containers for two people I have a friend that is lactose intolerant and if you tell them they will put the cheese and dairy on the side and a little container so you can choose to add it or not me and my fam always give them a complicated order and they usually always get it right if thay don't they fix it in my opinion it's a low priced option to eat a lot of halfway healthy food in this day and age“

“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“

“Amazing taco 🌮 experience“

“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!“

“great food friendly staff“

“I really like their food; the zucchini sticks are delicious, and the breakfast burritos are tasty, they are very nice and take their time to cook the food to make sure it is cooked to healthy standards, I don't think I will ever get tired of eating here, I do hope though with the minimum wage hike to $20.00 hr. that it doesn't raise the prices to high, and have to close them down, to many small businesses and even bigger businesses are closing down now because they can't afford to pay their workers and keep the prices down where their customers can afford the food, but they are one of my favorite fast food places to eat on this side of town.“

“​This was my first time dining here, but I can confidently say it won't be my last! This restaurant is literally a hidden gem.
​The moment I tried the food, it was a genuine teleportation back to my grandma's house. It truly doesn't taste like typical restaurant food—it feels like HOME😍😋.
​If you're looking for authentic, comforting, and soul-satisfying dishes, look no further. Highly recommended!“

“An amazing find in Bakersfield. This quaint little place has what you need to indulge in fine spirits, strong drinks, varied brews, elegant wine and even freshly made pizzas. I could say more but really you just need to come here and experience them for yourself. Don't wait, go, now!“

“Very pleasant/professional staff. Great choices on their menu. Delicious food (five of us; each agree with different meals). Very nice ambiance. Fun history of the location.“

“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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Finally had lunch at the guild house. It was absolutely lovely, I was greeted as soon as I walked in. I did have a reservation and my table was ready. Everyone was extremely pleasant. I was offered a hot or cold option and I chose the hot option. Pea soup, chicken Marsala and strawberry shortcake to finish. Polenta fries were perfect!

Parking: 90 minute street parking available“

“That barbacoa🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤 we get it every time we go❤️❤️❤️“

“It says a lot when I like to stay budget and can still comfortably go here for a lunch break often.

The food quality has high standards, and the atmosphere is actually really nice for a downtown building. It still feels unique while keeping to neutral and abstract decorations.

Getting occasionally end-of-meal treats have always been so nice, especially with the occasional art pieces.

Definitely a quality experience that had me very surprised for how most other service restaurants behave today“

“By far the best butter chicken I’ve ever had ! My husband and I are obsessed. We eat here at least once a week. The atmosphere is always very relaxed and the employees are so nice and welcoming. Will definitely be a forever returning customer 💜“

“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!!!“

“Friendly staff, and tasty food with lots of variety. This is the place to go for down-home eats and plenty of them.“

“So happy I found a great off the beaten path place to eat. When everyone else is full they have room. I don't why their food is so much better then the high end and expensive Mexican food resturants.Amazing customer service. No gimmicks just a great Chef and a real family run business.“

“Best enchiladas 😋 love the red sauce“

“Working in the area, stopped here for lunch! We really enjoyed the food here. The staff was friendly and it was very quick! I ordered a carnitas quesadilla, which in retrospect was a very greesy order. However the flavor of the meat and cheese was outstanding. Very well made product. Also thje burriots gotr thumbs up all around. Torta also got a great reveiw from my buddy. Overall I would say this establishment is worth a try and it wont dissapoint.“

“The best waitress (service) staff in town - excellent food - wonderful atmosphere!!!“

“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!“

“We were craving authentic Chinese food last night and came across Ching Yen. You can tell the owner, Sue, takes great pride in her food, and it really shows. We started with the Sizzle Rice soup and Hot and Sour soup. Both soups were rich and delicious with fresh ingredients. We ordered the small bowls and each was big enough for two people to share one and have extra. We decided to try the Combination Appetizer platter which came with two of each appetizer and two dipping sauces. The Sizzling Beef Iron plate and Chicken Fried Rice had quality fresh ingredients. You could tell the pride that went into each dish. Sue was a delight and expressed how much she enjoyed her customers. She made it feel like you’re visiting family for a home cooked meal. I’m a soup fanatic too, so I can’t wait to try some of the other soups on the menu. We’ll be back soon!“
