“Incredible piece of Americana. I believe we may have even met Carla. The place was busy with local ranchers, business owners, etc. The portions were generous, the service served with smiles and accommodations. We can not wait for our next visit.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Love their food. I eat their quite often.“

“Adelaida was our server & she was friendly & accomodating to our needs... We love Denny's... l wish they offered a Senior Discount on all items... Other than that l have no complaints...“

“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“

“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.“

“easily the best ramen place in Bakersfield“

“Sharan is super attentive and always so pleasant!“

“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!“

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“

“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.“

“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 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“

Parking: Parking lot on the side of the building and more parking in a lot across the alley way

“The taste of the breakfast potato’s (my fave) & everything I tasted made sharing a meal with family the best of times!“

“Went in and ordered 7 breakfast burritos. While I waited, I had a cup of coffee. By the time they finished my order my coffee was empty. Being that it was only coffee, I asked for a refill and was charged. My tab was 90 bucks. They couldn't give a free refill on a 6 ounce cup of coffee? Then they went on to tell me that every cup of chili would be an added charge, after the first 1. Don't get me wrong, the beans (which we added to every burrito and charged) were so delicious, but the skimpy portion of sausage and, bacon was disappointing. Great flavor though.“

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

“The aesthetic of the place and the food is nice.“

“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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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“

“Great food, great service. Our server was top notch but when the food was served it just put this restaurant at the top of my list. Best Italian food I've ever hear. I've been to plenty Italian places but none compare to Mamma Mia“

“Food is delicious and the serving are tremendous! I know what I’m having for dinner 😊“

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

“great food friendly staff“

“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 💜“

“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!“

“Usually I don't have an issue with this Little Caesars location but my last visit, a few days ago, was not their shining moment. They were understaffed, stressed and really busy. Food quality was subpar. However, my kids love their pizza. I will be back.“

“7/6/25 I so enjoyed my Beef bento delicious,sushi, salad so fresh our server was great Davy O I will for sure return, We were a party of 12 with 3 children they also loved it!“

“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!“

“Great food always great taste!!!“

“Really good food!! Prices are decent for the amount of food you get. Super tasty and I loved the shredded beef in the wet burrito. Also, they grilled chicken is so amazingly good! My kids loved the chicken soft tacos just plain with avocado. And the kids meal quesadilla with fries with some cheese sauce added on it, my kids loved it!!! Very happy! I will be back. My husband loved the carne asada fries and chimichanga burrito. He said he doesn't want anyone to know how good the food is (a hidden gem in Bakersfield) but he wants them to get more business so they stay open and we can still eat there. LOL“

“Food was good, service was good, very nice staff. Was my husbands birthday, they made it special, he loved it. The manager goes to each table to greet and thank people for coming. I thought that was nice to do, makes you remember them. Nice people“

“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!!“
