“Great local Marisco restaurant! Loved the fish taco! Crunchy and fresh. Loved the ton of fresh veggies on it. And the shrimp fajita was good but the shrimps were a bit over cooked for my taste.Service was very friendly and attentive. No wonder all the locals come to eat here!Great food and great service!“

“They are so nice here! I am not from this city but my daughter lives here for a little while. We popped into Rusty's because I love Rusty's Pizza pretty much everywhere I Go. This is the first time I have ever had the barbecue chicken pizza. It had nuts on it and I know that sounds crazy but it works. It works so well that I have thought of nothing but that pizza ever since. I hope that the owner can find the funds to repaint and remodel just a little bit, but I love the bright open floor plan, the traditional Rusty's video games, and the self-serve drinks.“

“Oscar was our waiter for lunch. He’s very accommodating. He brought our drinks right away. Took our order. He was friendly, outgoing very positive vibe. Our order without any problems. The steak was cooked to perfection. Even asked if you wanted tea to go. he was an excellent waiter.“

“We stopped at this restaurant in Bakersfield on our way to Death Valley, and honestly, the exterior and overall floor setup might seem a bit deceiving at first — but don’t let that fool you. The food is absolutely delicious!
We ordered Malai Kofta, Sarson Da Saag, Paneer Butter Masala, along with Amritsari Kulcha with Chhole, Garlic Naan, Makke Di Roti, and Tandoor Roti — and everything was outstanding. The real standout was the Amritsari Kulcha with Chhole — just superb. Fresh, authentic, and packed with flavor. The breads were perfectly made — soft, flavorful, and served hot.
The owner and staff are incredibly welcoming and kind. You can truly see the pride they take in their service and freshly made, authentic recipes. Everyone in our group, including the kids, loved the food.
We will definitely be coming back again!“

“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...“

From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed like family. Every bite reflects the kind of quality and attention that’s becoming harder to find these days. Places like Carla’s Café don’t just serve food—they help brighten your day and give you a small moment to slow down and enjoy something real.

“easily the best ramen place in Bakersfield“

“lovely place!!❤️💕
This was an excellent restaurant. The owners were exceptionally kind and welcoming, and although I am Korean, the food was absolutely perfect even by Korean standards. If you are looking for properly prepared and genuinely delicious Korean cuisine, I highly recommend this lovely place.
I was also deeply moved to learn that the owners close the restaurant every Tuesday and Wednesday to provide free meals to people experiencing homelessness. I sincerely wish them continued success and many blessings in return for their generosity.“

“Hands down 🙌 this is the best poke bowl location in town!!!“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This place honestly surprised me in the best way. The food was amazing and the whole experience was just really enjoyable. The service was great — friendly, quick, and very attentive without being over the top. When the food came out, it totally lived up to the hype. Everything tasted fresh and full of flavor, and you could tell a lot of care went into the dishes. It’s not often a place impresses me this much on the first visit. The prices were also pretty fair, which is always nice when the food is this good. We had to drive a bit to get here, but after the meal I can easily say it was worth the trip. I’d definitely recommend stopping by if you’re in the area. I know I’ll be back again soon.“

“best burgers in Bakersfield“

“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 💜“

“The food was fantastic and the house margaritas were tasty. We were on the patio, which is beautifully lined with backlit tequila bottles, but ”cozy”. We sat at a table for two across a three foot aisle from another two seat table. We literally could have reached over to eat their chips we were so close. It was awkward, especially since it is quite out there. Also, our waiter could have cared less that we were there. But, again, the food was very good. D“

“A good cheeseburger, crinkle fries both delicious!“

“best food and service ever!“

“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!“

“My must stop spot when visiting California! Food is amazing and the staff goes above and beyond.“

“I came here on the recommendation of one of the workers at Hard Rock. I told him I liked spicy sushi and this place nailed it.

I hand the Ex-girlfriend and asked him to make it extra spicy. It was spot on, the perfect amount of heat to punch you in the mouth without drounding out the flavor. It's honestly a delicate balancing act.

The service was outstanding, my server helped me pick out another roll. Not as spicy but a perfect compliment to the ex friend.

I'll for sure be back.“

“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.“

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

“Had a wonderful time 💯 the food was really good I highly recommend it“

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

“Always, always a night to remember. The most pleasant staff ever. Cuddos to Hallie B:) The vibe would have you teleported to San Diego or Santa Barbara. The aroma of the tasty pizza choices lingers upon your entrance to the restaurant. And how amazing to have a venue - where 🍷 wine invites conversations that are happy for the grown folks to truly enjoy:)

Imbibe is the vibe!!“

“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.“

“Do you want to feel special? Do you want to experience getting served at 3 course meal? Try their meals here they literally will melt in your mouth and dessert is the best part! I highly do not recommend bringing young kids this is an adult function. It's worth every penny. All proceeds go to charity“

“An unexpected stop when I first brought my car to the local Toyota service department. Even more unexpected was how good the food is. I got the birria street taco plate and the first bite of the tacos brought tears to my eyes, literally not figuratively.
Everything was made fresh and came out tasty, I might need to take my car in more often.

The atmosphere is relaxed and there's a good amount of seating with light foot traffic. Madysen was very helpful and made me feel welcome, a rarity in my few outings. The service was excellent and I left wanting for nothing.

I'll be back, El Taco Rojo!“

“Awesome, the food is fresh and well presented, great service and value.“

“This place feels like a wholesome family experience. There’s no such thing such as a stranger here and I love the service as well as their coffee. Will be returning soon.“

“My husband and I have been regulars here for a while. The food and service here is just amazing. my favorite is the chicken marsala and lobster ravioli. Liz is the best waitress there hands down. Always so friendly! I can't recommend this place enough.“

“great food friendly staff“

“Always delicious burgers and chicken dinners. Highly Recommended! 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟“

“Second time having lunch from here. Second time I had a shrimp burrito. It was real tasty. I asked for the chipotle sauce to be on the side since most of the time I dislike other place’s chipotle sauce, but theirs was real tasty. I might have to try it again with lite chipotle sauce. My order came with fries and I had also ordered a piece of their corn bread. Their corn bread was warm and tasty as well.“

“We had rack of lamb. Perfect food. Perfect service by Chris. Come here hungry or bring a couple friends. We are def coming back!! We had fun“

“Best Mexican food I’ve had.“

“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“

“So, everyone talks about their Prime Rib, and yeah, it’s amazing—but honestly, don’t sleep on the NY Strip. It’s perfectly seasoned, juicy, and cooked just right every time. The service here is top-notch—super friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and has that perfect “let’s sit, relax, and enjoy a great meal” vibe. Every visit feels like a little celebration. Prices are fair for the quality you get, and you can really tell they care about both the food and the experience. I left already planning my next visit. If you’re craving a steakhouse where the food is incredible, the staff is awesome, and the vibe is just right, Hungry Hunter Steakhouse is the place to be. Can’t recommend it enough!“

“Always my favorite burger, but this time was the first time getting the Avocado Burger! So delicious!!! It was big & they did not short me on avocados, that's for sure! The fries are always crispy & have good seasoning, good homemade tasting ranch & the staff is so friendly. We always seem to have the same girl (weekends or today is a holiday) & she is so friendly & always has a smile. It is worth the whole drive across town.“

“Really good from the moment you walk in. Greeted by a beautiful woman with a beautiful smile. The waiter was engaged and helpful. The food was fantastic and the wine selection so good I bought and drank a bottle. Shocked an Italian Restaurant this good, in of all places, Bakersfield.“

“The owner was very friendly, helpful, and her whole countenance just glowed when she smiled! You could tell she loved her business, customers, and her food. I’m not sure why others thought this place was not up to snuff. As a family with two small children, we would definitely come back!“
