My family and I went on a Friday Evening around 6:00 P.M. and were very disapointed. The service was horrible, the waiter hardly ever came around to check on us to see if we needed anything. We had to ask for refills on our drinks numerous times and they still failed to get them to us in a timely manner. The food was ok. My wife and I ordered a sandwich and hamburger and they were good. The onion rings were good. The side salad we ordered was horrible and 4...

I went on a date, they brought dirty wine glasses.. I asked for clean glasses they washed the same glasses and brought it back wet on the table. Inside decoration is nice but very pricey & slow service.

I have been going to the downtown Sequoia every week for almost four years and I have never been disappointed. The food is great, the service is friendly, and the atmosphere is welcoming. I would recommend any of the Sequoia locations to anyone looking for a great sandwich with fresh ingredients.

We first tried this restaurant when they first opened. They were just "ok" at that time, and were definitely in the "training" mode and needed to get some experience under their belts. Their prices were way too high for the lack of food quality and below average service. We tried again just recently. I can't believe they actually got worse. Food quality is poor. Service is poor. Atmosphere severely lacks the ambiance that their prices command. This is yet another patron that will never eat...

My partner and I had a late lunch/early dinner at Moo Creamery about 2 weeks ago. I had the Monte Cristo with fries. The sandwich had the barest amount of meat on it and the fries were so salty I had to brush them off before eating them one at a time. My partner had the Roasted Turkey CLub which he said was fair. His onion rings were over-cooked- as though they had been double-dunked in the fryer to warm them up after already having been cooked once. At $8 per sandwich and $2 per drink the...

The food is alright, slightly overpriced, but the happy hour is to die for. Thanks T-Bones

12:32 PM I chose to try Big Popy's for lunch after reading through a menu at my work place. The restaurant was clean (with the exception of a few tables) but a bit crowded- not with people but with numerous retro-esque chairs and tables. There were perhaps 4 other parties having lunch in the space. When I got to the counter a lady who took my order was indifferent and seemed tired &/or distracted. While I was placing my order I witnessed one of the kitchen help (large, pink flower...

San Joaquin Veterinary Hospital
I have been going to SJV Hospital for over a year now. They have been nothing but wonderful to me, my husband and of course my pets. They are patient, caring, friendly and very willing to answer any questions I have. I've had three cat emergencies and they always manage to get me in ASAP to see a Vet. The girls working the front desk are awesome. The entire staff is friendly and courteous. I hope I never have to take my pets anywhere else. Connie Woodruff

Amazing group. Met with Pat Johnson, wow, what a great Representative for this company. Attention to detail, kind, explains w/o putting my staff down. Deadlines always met,in fact usually ahead of deadlines. Who would have thought I could actually like a CPA??!!

Preface: I have had pets all of my life. My last two cats (Bentley and Bully) moved all across the country with my for the past 16/17 years! The avatar for my profile is a quilt I made in honor of my last cat (bully). I have always loved my pets and made every sacrifice to care for them as though they were my own children. The following is a true story, un-embellished by emotion: I took a pet to Coffee Road Animal Hostpial three times, twice for accidental injuries incurred while...

I can't believe people still go to this place. It must have more 1 star ratings than any other restaurant in town!

San Joaquin Veterinary Hospital
Quickly got my cat an appointment. However, this Dr. is completely rude and unprofessional!! I was "recommended" a blood panel test of $145 and said I would be notified the next morning of results. A week later, I had to go and get results on my own! The Dr. came out to give my results and the first thing out of his mouth was said rudely-- "Is THE cat still alive?" He then went on to say "I take full responsibility and am sorry that you were not notified--somehow your test fell through...

Our Halloween visit to Victor Victoria's was a real treat! We started with the oysters rockefeller and a spicy shrimp cocktail. I had the flat iron steak cooked true to medium rare and Patrick enjoyed the catfish, topped off by yummy desserts of tiara misu and raspberry cheesecake. The beautiful decor and attentive service were especially enjoyable. Thanks Alia for a great experience! Paula Mande

This is an absolutely fabulous restaurant! I have tried many of the Mexican food places in town, and this is by far the most original, best value, and best atmosphere I have found. The pepper jack shrimp is amazing. The margaritas are spot on, and the service is always friendly and attentive. You can tell the owners have a passion for what they are doing. HIGHLY recommend!

We used to frequent Si Senior Grille quite often...but since we discovered Camino Real, I would rather spend my time and cash there. Si Senior is "OK" ~ not bad food at all, and they do have amazing Chile Verde, perfect amount of spice/heat. I order the chile verde burrito, and have never been disappointed. The have a decent buffet for lunch too, worth the $$ for that, M-F The bar-drinks are WAY over priced, and NOW ~ to the service, NOT GOOD service at all,...

I just got my nails done by sara at posh and she charged me $20 for full rockstar nails with FREE nail art. she will never nickle and dime you ever. she was amazing, very sweet, and fair prices. I have had rockstars done for $60 and up and i cant tell the diffrence between the two. She is the only place in town to get good quality work at a fair price. I am recomending her to the 100's of people commenting on how amazingly cute my hello kitty nails are! I have had my nails done by alot of...

I consider myself to be a fair woman. I firmly believe in second chances, especially in a restaurant setting where all it takes is the cook being preoccupied for 2 minutes to ruin your dinner. I will NEVER give T-Bones a second chance. There is a better chance of me being struck by lightening than going here again. My brother is a hard-working officer, so on his day off my parents and I decided to have a nice night out. There was a 30 minute wait for the table- which, to be fair, a lot of...

We go to Si Senor's about twice per month. The food is average-to-good with decent portion sizes. We've never had to wait an excessive amount of time for drinks, refills or food. My only gripe is that some of the servers wear those damned head-sets as though they're running a Jack In The Box drive-through as well. (Are they?) I do not appreciate having to compete with the added noise from those things just to get/keep the servers attention. A good server doesn't need a headset to tell...

We visted the new location once about a week ago. I can only echo the many (legitimate) problems this restaurant experiences: Apathetic service and average food. We were sitting in our booth (closest to the kitchen) some ten minutes before soft drinks were finally brought to the table, I had to go to the bar myself for the beer. Chips and salsa came to the table only seconds before the meal. I believe we waited about 30 minutes for the food and it certainly wasn't worth the wait. Average...

You know... I'm so sick of hearing how "decent" or "family-style" the Denny's restaurant chain is, I'm not going to even give a huge effort into this review. Now in case noooooooooone of you have ever heard of Denny's befooooooooore, it's simply a restaurant chain that serves a variety of below-average plates; and breakfast and lunch are served all day, everyday. This Denny's location here at 8710 Rosedale Highway has one dining room and...
-
Terrible service. I was blamed for the incorrect order. As I ordered the waitress/manager stopped listening and rolled her eyes and did not even write down the salad request. No suprise that NO salad was brought out. I also order two carne asada taco and a plate that also had rice and beans came. Never ordered that either. And the tortillas were fried. Previously they never had been, and I have ordered them before. Then the salad came and had dressing AND I requested NO...

Country Club Car Wash & Detail
Believe me... Country Club Car wash has the best car wash service in town. It is 100 % hand wash with great attention to detail. Your car is showroom perfect when they have finished. Manuel, the owner, is there overseeing all work as he works along side his employees. He is dedicated to perfection. Wash, Wax job, Delail, whichever- you will be pleased. Give it a try...It's truly the BEST!

As so much time has passed since I last visited Peking Palace, and now that eastbound Highway 178 is open to the Fairfax exit and there is no road construction or detour on Auburn, my companions and I decided it was the perfect time to make the trek. It was as good as we remembered. The quality of the food is high, and has been consistently so over its twenty years in Bakersfield. Past reviews agree. If memory serves, it was officially voted the best Chinese restaurant...

Been going to BX for nearly 4yrs. We love it, the staff is very friendly and facilities are clean and in good working order. I prefer the fitness spas because the atmosphere is a bit more upscale. Our kids love the childcare and membership is reasonable especially when counting the cost of childcare for 3 kids.

Hello Bakersfield.com users! Today I will be reviewing this Burger King location at 3302 California Avenue! See my profile for more business reviews! As of late, I’ve noticed a great decline in Burger King’s store chain in the sense that they can’t all seem to follow a general business pattern. This business pattern includes food quality, customer service, and cleanliness. As far as this Burger King location here at California Avenue goes,...

Heard good things about this place so I sent my wife to get us lunch. 1 Dbl CheeseBurger 2 fries 1 Bacon Burger no pickle/tom She came back with 1 Dbl Cheese Burger no Pickle/Tom 1 Fry 1 Bacon Buger with Pickle/Tom Wife HATES pickles... WITH A PASSION!. Smell, Taste, Look. EVERYTHING. No problem, we will call them up and explain the mixup, stuff happens right. Wife calmly explains issue to employee, Tom's employee then argues with wife that she only ordered 1...

As a professional photographer, I am in need of photography supplies all the time. In 1968, I started shopping at Henley’s. I soon found that I didn’t have to go out of the city to get all the supplies and equipment I needed. The staff was very knowledgeable on all my photography questions and friendly as well. I am glad to have their services available and recommend them to anyone interested in photography regardless of their skill level. Kevin Fahey, Fahey Photography

Although I consider Red Robin to be a bit overpriced (most adult meals are just shy of $10), they have good food (I love their fries), and it's a great place to take the whole family. It's definitely kid friendly and their kids menu has many options, even for the picky eaters. Unfortunately last time I was there, they were out of crayons for the little ones. Of course they didn't actually tell us they were out. We had to ask. In fact, I was a little disappointed with our waitress. She had to...

You are looking at the Trebuchet MS word format from Microsoft Word 2003! It doesn’t look too bad either; I love the shapes of letters “b” and “m.” Both of them remind me of an Atari 5200 game: “Beamrider.” But knowing that is not important. This here is my review for this Burger King location off 8200 Stockdale Hwy L. Burger King’s chain has so many stores, it’s made to be the biggest fast-food burger chain next to...

I love this place! The food is always so fresh and original. The atmosphere is calm and the place is so clean. I never leave a place satisfied or happy i am a tough critic but this place nailed it. I will continue to support this locally owned and ran restaurant as long as i live and will continue to tell my freinds and family about this place. The staff is so polite and professional ask for alesandro hes a great host/owner who goes above and beyond for his customers he waited on me...

Some really amazing Mexican Food, and lots of it. Their prices are very reasonable. I have there 5 or 6 times over the last year (Oct. 09) and have never been disappointed. I have concentrated on the burritos, while my wife goes for the enchiladas. The rice is very good and the beans creamy and hot. The tortillas are always fresh and large (For the burritos) And a very large percentage of meat. You also get chips and salsa with every meal. The one down side might be the service, but the...

I’ve had the CPK frozen pizzas from the supermarket but decided to give the restaurant a try. Called to make a reservation for Friday night before the “Cirque Dreams- Illumination” show at Rabobank but leaned that they don’t take reservations. Instead, they allow 1-hour “call aheads” before the expected meal time. On a side note, when will Bakersfield restaurants finally learn that reservations are an important aspect to their success? I immediately noticed that this...

Dear God do NOT take your pets here!!! The Dr. seems okay...but the groomer and kennel is the worst I've ever experienced!! The groomers are as mean and hateful as it gets. The things I have seen and heard, I should have called the animal control and the police department. Seriously, the WORST EVER!!!!!!

I got my first Tat at Naked Al's this past Saturday, Oct 24th. Colby was great. He let me look thru 100s of eagle designs until I picked out the one I wanted. And we're not done. I'm having my bass guitar added on my next visit. Everyone at the shop was friendly and encouraging. I'll definately be back. Dave...

My step father was French Basque, and I grew up going to the Basque restaurants in Bakersfield. It's been 13 years since I lived there, but whenever I come to town, Noriega's is definitely on my list! I love the bar. There's no other bar quite like it!
-
I visited this restaurant for the first time with a couple of friends. We liked the buffet and everything was cooked well. A bit spicy than usual but then I can deal with it. Unfortunately, the decor is mediocre at best, and the ambiance is lacking.
-
Last week a dining companion and I went to the Desi Cafe for the first time; however, I was familiar with the dishes served there having ordered through Restaurant Runner several times. My companion on the other hand had never eaten Indian food. We went during the lunch hour. My companion chose the lunch buffet. While the lunch buffet looked very appealing, I knew the spices would be mild so I ordered off the menu so I could get the heat I craved. I asked for everything extra spicy. I know...
-
We have enjoyed their daily buffet several times and did again on 10-24-2009. It is a homey family run restaurant with good food. It is spiced more so than other Indian restaurants in Bakersfield but that suits us fine. The Chicken Tikka Masala is excellent, the Naan is thinner and crispier than others, but it is good. The vegetable dishes were very good especially the Zucchini. They served a goat dish which we have never had before....

After riding the Spooktacular we wanted fish tacos and beer. Since our last trip to another old favorite was disapointing, we decided to try El Camino Real. Wow! We had the grilled fish and adobo fish taco plates with black beans and sweet potato fries. The tacos came with red cabbage that seemed pickled and finely shredded with a small avocado slice in each one. My adobo was spicy and just salty enough after the ride to perk me up. The different sauces were outstanding. I asked for some...

Well, I called to ask who the President or CEO of the company was because I wanted to kno who I was dealing with and I was told they don't give out that information and then I was hung up on. If I can't ask who I'm dealing with and find out then why should that company have my business.
-
Obviously a very unethical business-will never, ever set foot in this place and will let everyone I know why they shouldn't either. Better start looking for a new line of business-karma's gonna bite you in the butt.
-
Excellent food and service. Good Music....a little noisy, but if you like action while you eat....this place is a thumbs up.
-
Stay away....there are a lot of better sushi places and a lot better service.
-
We love going to this restaurant. We love the food and the staff. The rice is so fluffy and great! Tocos Adobo is one of my personal favorites. My husband always gets something different and the kids always go for their "Alex Special!" The staff really make a special effort to make sure we are comfortable and that we like our meals. Thanks to Alejandro and staff for making Camino Real our FAVORITE restaurant!
-
We go once a week and I am always amazed. The salad bar is good, some of soups are excellent (try the cheese soup), the meats are good! Weakest part to us is the dessert bar but you can always get decent soft serve with hot fudge. The meat loaf is better than Moms, the steaks are tender and juicy. Considering the price, I am amazed they are so good. Love some of the veggies like the spinach souffle and the cabbage. The place can be noisy, the rest rooms can be messy but overall the...

What the heck? Did you pay someone to dog the other mexican restaurants? It would help if they didn't copy and paste the same review in every section. That is poor practice. I will never be back to El Adobe, period.
-
El Adobe is disgraceful. You can obviously tell that they went to every other Mexican Restaurant's site and gave them a bad review. I really find it horrible that a company could stoop so low in this time of economic crisis. And btw, El Adobe's food is the worst, they overcharge for drinks and make the costumer feel unwanted. If you are looking for excellent Mexican food, my suggestion is El Sombrero off Golden State. Now that is quality Mexican food! Don't support El Adobe and their...
