Been there twice. Wonderful atmosphere. 1st time went during lunch time and had a nice lunch. I had the chicken plate with ham, bbq sauce, cheese and bacon.... with the fries and chili. Chili was a bit strong for my taste and I perfer only one kind of bean in my chili but over all the plate was amazing. The chicken was cooked just right and all the flavors worked together. Fries were crispy and just right. Waitress was nice and quick. She had many tables to tend to but was able to keep...
If you want the fresh, tastiest breakfast treat in town and a cup of coffee (Peets) that is the BEST cup of coffee in B-field, this is your place. What other shop grinds its flour daily and bakes whole wheat treats that are good for your family? Bypass the white flour sugar coated offerings at the big bakery in town and the so-so muffins/scones at the S-bucks counter. Make your calories count here. Also, I've found wonderful hostess gifts - loaf of bread, spread, and...
If you like to smell like cigarette smoke, this is the place for you!!!
I have been a customer at Serenity Tanning and Salon since opening day. In fact, I followed my stylist from her previous salon to Serenity. I have always been more than satisfied with the service I have received by all members of the staff. I not only have my hair styled by Serenity staff, they also have one of the finest estheticians in Bakersfield. I would love to give the names of "my girls" but I wouldn't want to distract from the many fine and talented women who work there. As...
Very experienced. Took on my case and got the job done with a great result.
Absolutely delicious! Karen is professional and creative. The cake for our wedding was fabulous and so tasty. She offered helpful advice and was willing to accommodate any of our suggestions. Exceptionally priced - outrageously flavorful.
They came out said our dishwasher needed a new heating element. We paid for the service call and element, however they would never order the element. Finially after almost two months they gave us the money back for the part but not for the service call. Sounds like a scam to me, have a service call, don't order the part, refund the money for the part but not service call. I could do that, make 40 service calls in a day and never have to do anything past that. Run from these people, they are...
I had a recent experience with this company. The work performed was very substandard and when workers left unit did not operate satisfactorily. Had a very difficult time getting them to return calls and quite a delay before they returned to correct faulty workmanship. I would not recommend them.
Typical ghetto eastside bar, fighting and all kinds of drama at the end of the night. Also hold on to your things there, no one is honest and the bartenders and regulars will cover for each other. Please close this place down!
This place is horrible. Don't waste your money or time. The service was terrible, we were the first ones there and it took forever to get service, and when we did it was a rude waiter that seemed to think we were an inconvenience to him. When the food came, it was sub par at best. On an interesting note, I notice that every time a bad review is posted about this terrible place a 5 star is posted right after it. No doubt an employee or owner trying to save a failing business.
Nice service, great food. The salad wasn't too fresh but I didn't go there for a salad. Everything else was wonderful. I had the Salmon and Chicken. It came with Miso, tempura, California sushi and that salad. The Wasabi was tasty too, it had a little creamy texture. So much better than the stuff you get in a tube.
Have been to this place several times and truly like it! It's easy to miss because it's on such a busy street( Truxtun). But keep on eye out for it. I have recommded it to friends and family and they have visited several times. The decor is unique unlike any restaurant in Bakersfield. It has a mission theme. Simply check out the menu, they offer a wide variety of dishes ranging from mexican food to interesting dishes like Orange Chicken Burrito to Mexican Pizza...
Rwestfall, this is a dining guide, NOT a food guide. We already know how good their chicken is, lol. El Pollo Loco is a restaurant chain serving a variety of food including grilled chicken, burritos, tacos, beans, rice, taquitos, churros, and much more. Stockdale's location has 1 dining room, 1 salsa bar, and a one way drive-thru. In fairness, I should definitely say that their service here is pretty good. The workers are pretty nice, and very...
I have been to hourglass a couple times, i love it. i first went to lunch there with my grandma and the food and service was wonderful. they brought us a complimentary appetizer since it was our first time there, the potato eggrolls, they were delicious. the prices are good too. i also went there for valentines day with my boyfriend. the service and food was great again. he had filet mignon and i had stuffed chicken buerre blanc, soo good. we also got complimentary chocolate covered...
If you are looking to move, you can't go wrong with these guys! The service was excellent, the truck was new and clean, and they charged less that U-Haul for the priveledge! I won't go anywhere else. I can't say enough about how nice they were.
Some friends and I went to the Hourglass for lunch earlier this week. It was our first time there and will also be our last. We all ordered sandwiches yet it took an hour to receive our food eventhough we were the only patrons in the place. When our food came my sandwich was stacked high with onions though I specifically requested NO ONIONS and my friend's sandwich was lacking BBQ sauce and salsa, both of which she requested. I later asked for a side of ranch and never received it. It took...
This place has adorable decorating and atmosphere, but these guys don't have it together service-wise. I went to this place for some sushi with friends and these guys were a mess. Some of us got our sushi first and some had to wait. I waited 2 hours for food and they couldn't get it together. Sadly, mine was the most simple roll to make, so I don't know what the chef was doing. They kept apologizing that the food wasn't there yet, but still no food. I even saw people that came in after me...
I love Bento Express! We always call in our order and they have it ready in 10-15 minutes. Their sushi is great and the prices are amazing. I highly recommend this place. ;)
Service is always ok. At lunch, these guys usually only have one waitress who is overworked, but she has a great memory for what you want. The food is pretty good. The decor is amazing. In genral, it's not a bad place for lunch. Just let them know if you don't have much time for lunch, they'll get you in and out. ;)
These guys are the BOMB. Their Carne Guisada is great. I highly recommend their food and the service is pretty good too.
Ok. This place has good food, but the chick that owns it or runs it is AWFUL. I bought a sandwich here and she made it wrong. I paid 8 bucks for it, so I wanted it made as I asked. When I pointed it out to her, she grimaced, and slammed the sandwich into the trash. She made another and still forgot another ingredient. I was not rude in any way , so I don't get where she got the attitude with me. This business should be surprised if people come back again for food because seriously, their...
We love this business! The owners at Self Serve are super nice and really know their stuff. They recommended some great cat food for our cat (Orijen) and our cat loves it. It keeps him full and has no fillers that make him hungry quickly like the other cat foods we had him on. Our dog also dig the tubs here and we can all leave there without having to pull fur out of the sink or stop the dog from running around the back yard in the mud!
We've been going to Dr. Cooke for years and have never had a bad experience. He is gentle with our animals and has never been one to rip us off. We highly recommend Dr. Cooke and will continue to bring our cats and dogs to him for many years to come!!
Just make sure this is who you want. If for any reason you need to cancel your date due to a wedding change, no matter how soon you cancel it and even if it is done according to the contract, you will never get your deposit back!!! Although we were promised a refund by a certain time, we never recieved it and none of our calls or e-mails were returned. My family feels cheated and also feel this person is very unprofessional as a business owner.
I love this chicken. The food has always been fresh and hot. Some of the best chicken around.
Well rwestfall, if that was true, then WHY is this Taco Bell poor compared to other Taco Bells? :? It is true that it is just a fast-food joint, but both me and my family have not been happy with this place. The food quality just doesn't pair up with the average Taco Bells, and the cleanliness is awful! You actually have to "find" a table in order to sit down! The service was poor at best, so me and my husband will definitely not come...
What can I say!! Welcome back Fred!!! Bakersfield has missed those incredible ribs, beans that are out of this world & of course, the home made croutons! I love the new sausages too, home made and melt in your mouth. Alot of food for the money! Now if you would just open one on the East Side :-)
What do you expect for .79 .89 and .99 cents? It is a fast food joint. You get what you pay for. I myself like the bean burrito with green sauce and extra cheese.
Wow... I am not alone! XD I have never quite understood why there are a few people out there who even come here. For one thing, they don't even serve the food items that all Taco Bells should be serving, and their service stinks like hell man. In all honesty, I'm not that picky about fast-food in general, but the food quality and service are so bad here that it's pointless. The workers here just slack off... that's all I have to say dudes, lol.
I could think of many good reasons to prevent going here. I have not liked alot of their products for like 10 years, and their service is okay but unfulfilled. IN-N-OUT on Stockdale was pretty bad, but that was compared to other IN-N-OUT locations. If I compared Stockdale IN-N-OUT to Olive Drive Burger King, I would be begging for mercy dude, lol.
i have gone to in-n-out a couple of times and to some out of town. i have never had bad service and i hope i never do. i love their them its different and not like your BK or McD's. i also like how they don't use mayo on their hambugers.
Best Alterations in town!! I mean! I used to sew, and I know. I know Joy's been in business for over 25 years, and she is just absolutely amazing! She can turn nothing into something amazing!! She fixed my daughter's wedding dress in ONE DAY! because some other tailor messed it up!. I daughter was so happy with the result, we will never go anywhere else!! She's also done my husband's suits, all my clothes, and my drapes in my house. All I can say is WOW.. I love JOY!! You...
We stopped in to eat at Jimanos and tried their onion rings to start with. They are excellent!!! The pizza crust is the best we have had. You get a lot of pizza for the price. Definately recommend!
My new favorite lunch spot!!! We have been here a few times and have tried different things. Overall, I think the food is very good! The service had always been very friendly and accomodating. On thursday and friday they have BBQ lunch specials and I had a chance to try this last friday, WOW, what a great meal for your money! For $5.99 (including tax) you get a steak, chili beans, salad, roll, potato salad and a drink. I have to say, this was one of the better steaks I have had in a while...
It is the best burger of California, that is something cool about coming here. I also like the dining in general. The white tiles remind me of my childhood sort of, like I was visiting Disneyland with a 1-day pass. It's a good feeling to get when visiting a restaurant, so that's a good given. However, I must say: this location's food accuracy is awful! I have gone up to them 3 different times over the last month just to get the correct burger! I order one...
All I can say is YUM! Whether you're a beef eater or not, GET THE RIBEYE! Although the music can be a bit overwhelming (if you intend to hear the rest of your party), the food (and cocktails) make it all worthwhile. Casual attire and decor, an all-around welcome addition to Bakersfield!
The hamburgers are very good. I usually don't buy hamburgers at restaurants because I'm pretty fond of my own. The chef is a great guy and makes you feel at home. The french fries are also one of a kind. With Johns Burger up the street, I think the best burger in town is from Amestoys Grill. Eat there if you can you wont be disappointed.
The thin crust pizza is the best I've ever had. Try it with white sauce, garlic and chicken. YUMMY! You wouldn't think of a pizza place for ribs, but they are excellent! They fall off the bone. Don't forget the awesome steak fries with homemade ranch dressing.
I like the 40 year old decor, I think it would have been a great place to have gone 20 years ago. I've never had "egg rolls" deep fried like that... still not sure I liked it but if you like deep fried bacon..and liver...welcome to heaven. I can't say anything bad about the place, but it isn't for me.
My wife and I use to pass this place quite frequently and finally decided to give it a try a few months ago. We have been going back ever since. We have tried a lot of different menu items from the appetizers to dinners and they have all been very good. The portions are large at a great price. This is definitely a great place to eat or relax and have a drink with friends.
We have been to this place 3 times and it has got to be the best kept secert in Bakersfield. The food and the bar is top of the line. If you are looking for a great place to go for lunch, dinner or for just drinks this the place to go.
LOVE! Mama Roomba has a great, fun atmosphere, really excellent food and attentive service. We each had mojitos and ordered a few dishes to share including the Tri-tip, Salmon with Mango Salsa, Wilted Spinach Salad, black beans and rice. Everything was really really wonderful, the spice on the tri-tip was excellent, the Salmon was cooked to perfection and the mango salsa tasted like the mangos had been chopped to order. Great, fun place, a true gem in the Bakersfield...
Great place for an anniversary or special date. Food was excellent, service attentive but not overly so. Bakersfield needs more restaurants like this; Valentien makes you feel like you've gone to Santa Barbara but without the drive.
Beware!!! This guy is posing as a licensed contractor, but is unlicensed. He charges a low amount, then does a shoddy job, tells you he can do something when he really has no idea how to do it. Badgers you for multiple installments of money, acts entitled to money for work not completed, and gets angry when he doesn't get what he wants. He's a con-artist--stay AWAY!!!
I love Santa Barbara Pizza and Chicken. The chicken is delicious (as well as those huge dinner fries). I always have them deliver and have never had a problem. My husband thinks the pizza is some of the best in town. I'm so glad that they are on our side of town!
santa barbara pizza and chicken-the only one left in bakersfield now, doesn't even deserve a star. the quality and customer service has shot straight down! me and my boyfriend and our families will never (never) order from them again! my boyfriend was a loyal customer since they opened, and we would order from them like every other week or even on the weekends. they need better management and customer service. they need to learn how to make good pizza. its not hard. me and my boyfriend's...
This company is horrid, I would never recommend them and will never use them again. This company tried to scam me once on having us pay for shower guard glass and then not installing the shower guard glass and the door was not sealed properly which caused it to leak each time it was used. They then claimed it was shower guard and refused to change it. We then called shower guard directly and had the confirm this was not their product. Later, they finally decided to come out and replace the...
Terrible service!
While the food was okay, the dining experience was ruined by a screaming one year old that the restaurant manager permitted to remain and scream and disturb all the other diners.
My family only purchases its books from one store in town, and that is the locally owned and operated Russo's Books at The Marketplace. The Russo family and their staff are top notch in their expereince, knowledge, and service to their customers. Not only do they have the latest hard over and softcover books that arrive on Tuesdays, they also have a large selection of periodicals, sports cards, and a full fledged comic book store in the back. If they are missing a book...
