The look of the place is not impressive, the ice cream is not that good. Very tacky that they use a number machine without seating for the waiting customers.
-
One word.... ok two... The BEST!

I had the shrimp bowl? Was it really shrimp? It was so bad I had to go somewhere else and eat again.

I grew up on Alberto's in San Diego and I can tell you I was very excited about seeing one here in Bakersfield. I previously lived in Los Angeles and there was not one Alberto's that I found in the whole town. The signature meal, in my opinion, is the carne asada burrito and, man, do they do it right. Not the highest quality meat, but great flavor and with a moist and well-grilled authentic tortilla, no beans or rice as filler, and tasty pico de gallo. Eating this massive burrito again...

The atmoshphere in this restaurant is very inviting. The food is excellent. Thier Mongolian Beef is excellent! We also had the Orange Chicken very well done! Thier eggplant dish is excellent. The food and atmoshpere is worth the price! We will go back there again!

Unfortunately, Yoshinoya has gone down in quality since I first ate at one in the late '80s in L.A. I was gratified to see one opening here, as it used to provide good quality Japanese fast food at a reasonable price. The price is still reasonable but the product is not what it used to be. On the positive side, the rice is good. That's about it.
-
The quality of food and service has diminished .... we've been eating there for about 40 years (off and on over the years).
-
My husband and three co-workers stopped here after driving from Northern California. He came home and told me how really good the food was (especially for a "chain). We were in Lancaster a couple of weeks later and had lunch at Chipotle. I asked my husband to make a comparison between Baja Fresh and Chipotle and he said Baja Fresh would be his choice between the two. That is one heck of a recommendation from someone who thrives on healthy, great tasting Mexican food .... regardless of...

I was pleasantly suprised with this place! I stopped in one afternoon for lunch and I'm glad I did. The atmosphere reminds me of Kentos. Prices are reasonable. It's probably one of the better Asian-style fast food restaurants I've tried. I would eat here again.
-
I haven't been impressed with this place, the food isn't very good and the prices aren't equal with the quality of the food. It's like a fast food joint that serves sushi and teriyaki. The only good thing about it is the location. You're way better off driving a few blocks to Myoshi and get some real sushi.
-
this place is awful!!!! i ordered a beef bowl there, and there was more grissle (FAT) in it than meat!!! I couldn't even eat it. I'll never go back.
-
Place was very clean, food seemed to be "commercial" "out of the can". Would be alot better if they used fresh veggies.
-
Valentein is a wonderful restaurant. The food, wine and atmosphere make dining out in Bakersfield a memorable experience.
-
Very disappointed in Fosters.. In the old days it was great, but after visiting there recently it just isn't the same. They don't take credit cards, they charge .45 for debit cards. The hamburgers weren't special (whopper taste better), the sundaes were not what they use to be... The food is just like any other greasy spoon. I rather go to Sonic then spend my time there.
-
I had pretty slow service but the employees tried to be kind about it. The food was really good. I'll recommend this place to anybody that wants a great sandwich. I noticed that a few things on the menu where only served on certain days. Something to take note of if your favorite is tri-tip.
-
Stopped by this place out of curiosity on a Sunday afternoon. The staff (appeared to be the owners) were very nice and helpful in figuring out what to try. Food was good and really did remind me of the "plate meals" I tried in Hawaii. Good food and a different atmosphere. I'll definitely be back.
-
My wife and I have ate there about 3 of 4 times now, and love the wraps. My wife has tried a flat bread sandwich, but likes the wraps better. Service has always been above and beyond expectation. I think if they were out in the Market Place or someplace in Rosedale they would be packed. There current location just doesn't suit them well. I hope the review that they are closing is wrong, as this is one of my favorite lunch stops.
-
Still kind of pricy for pizza, but a pretty decent pizza. It didn't taste like it came out of a box, and more suprizingly, the thin crust wasn't all limp like Rusty's used to be (at this location at least) just a few years ago. Delivery was prompt, but the delivery charge seems too high to me for a regular event type pizza. But if you're tired of Dominoes and Pizza Hut's blah pizza, Rusty's isn't a bad alternative.
-
The drive thru menu board is darned hard to read, and is not very well laid out. The fries were well cooked, but the burger was kind of soggy. A cut above most of the chains, a hair below some other smaller burger-and-fry institutions. A wholly average experience.

Great Castle Chinese Restaurant
went one time..I tried their famous cock roach plate ..actually when the roach hit the floor coming out from under the menu on our table we kinda lost our appetite and left..theres alot better chinese food out there
-
What a treasure for Bakersfield to have a restaurant as creative and beautiful in food design as Valentien's. Each visit has delighted us with wonderful combinations and flavors with amazing presentation. It's truly a fine dining experience!
-
Frozen Yogurt is very good. The service is also great. Greeted with a smile. You feel welcomed at this business. Makes everything better.

Cactus Valley Mexican Restaurant
My family and I have eaten here for years and we love the food and salsa. They do have new owners and the prices have gone up somewhat. I feel that the only thing that they are really lacking are more servers. The servers that they do have are awesome...they just need more help.
-
Food is fair and a decent value. Stay away from the house wines. Blech! And the decor is an odd mix of funky '70s and classic Chinese. It's not to my taste, nor is the furniture, which looks like it was cast off from a Courtyard by Marriott breakfast area.

Ick. Ick. Ick. If you like your Chinese food with a side of grease and cockroaches, this is the place for you. Ick.
-
My favorite Chinese restaurant. The Chow-Mein is the best in the city. So is their paper-wrapped chicken. Super!
-
Great Castle Chinese Restaurant
Two words: Walnut Shrimp. Ah, my mouth waters just thinking about it. This is a favorite place of mine and my co-workers and I've always had excellent food and great service.
-
Y'know, the food at Mauricio's is fine, and the price is a tad high. I haven't been to the Rosedale location lately, which is head and shoulders over this one. However, I did eat recently at the White Lane location and the place was FILTHY. Tables need a good scrubbing, as do the walls and seats, and it would be a good idea to vaccuum under the tables from time to time. The thought being, I really don't like to put my feet on food, nor park my posterior on food-covered upholstery. It's...

I think it is to bad people from other cities come here and complain about business that has been here for as long as I have been born!! Obviously they must be doing something right they have been here for many years! We all have fond memories of going to Dewar's and the good ice cream. My daughter moved to Louisiana and when she got married we took boxes of chews to give to people as a thank you. They all raved about the chews and when ever we go we always take boxes with us! Dewar's is...

Cactus Valley Mexican Restaurant
What happened to this place? Did they get new management or new cooks? They won a best of bakersfield award for best salsa a few years ago, now it is very plain and ordinary. I've made better salsa at home with very little effort. The service was ok, but it sure as heck doesn't make up for the lousy food and booring salsa. It didn't help them any that I got the vomiting stomach flu after eating there. There are plenty of better mexican restaurants in town than this one. Don't bother with...
-
We scheduled a party one week in advance, called that day to confirm, everything was ok until we arrived. They didn't have our reservations and it was suppose to be a "Surprise Party" needless to say, we had to wait for a table and my husband wasn't surprised. No comp included and no apology.
-
Service was slow, price was high
-
To be fair Dewars is tasty, but I don't write home about it. And actually, the chews upset my stomach. But, it is tradition. My favorite ice creams ever were found in two places. "Real"ly old-fashioned ice cream made by the church elders during socials. Nothing can beat the well-done homeade. The second was a shop in my hometown called Goodrich Dairies. Hard ice cream is must for me.
-
I'm not sure what to make of an 8-year-old food critic who has found an ice cream he doesn't like. Dewar's could be a litmus test for your ability to assimilate to Bakersfield. What temerity it takes to move into somebody else's town and tear apart a traditional institution? I don't go to L.A., Kathy Bates, and tell you how much better the movies made in Canada are. Is the salt water taffy in Redondo Beach worth whatever price per pound it costs? Frankly if I had to list the...
-
My mom comes to Texas every year and I have her bring me the Peanut Butter/Peppermint chews. The one thing I really miss the most is their punch. I haven't had any in quite some time but will be looking forward to it this summer. I am glad to see them still in business.
-
My family and I went to Dewars Saturday night. The kids love it, the ice cream is GREAT and the service is alway good.
-
I have one thing to say for all of those out of towners including Ms Bates that don't know good ice cream when they taste it, you can go back to where you came from and stay there. There is not a town around that can out do Dewar's. I highly recommend the Black and White myself.There is none like it. Not even Rite Aide can come up with something like that. I would not change a thing. And the price is well within reason. Dewar's is a tradition in our town and it is one tradition that I love...
-
If you ever have the opportunity to tour Dewar's please do. I can guarentee you that you will NEVER EVER eat their chocolate turtle candy again. Its made by hand....with NO GLOVES, in a dingy dirty room. The Kern County Health Department needs to pay Dewar's a visit, the sooner the better.
-
This is the problem with folks today. Dewars is a "real" old fashion ice cream shop. For us regulars we are happy it has resisted change. My Grandfather and Jim Dewar were best friends, they both are gone now but I still remember going down there in the early sixtys and the place is still the same. If you don't like their vanilla ice cream then I guess you need to go to Jamba Juice or one of those other new age drink joints. For the rest of us (and there are thousands) thank you for keeping...

Cactus Valley Mexican Restaurant
IT'S NOT THE SAME ANYMORE. DON'T LIKE THE IDEA OF THE NEW OWNERS FOOD AND SERVICE HAVE WENT DOWN HILL WITHOUT MARY AND SEF THERE. MY FAMILY HAS STOPPED EATING THERE AND WE WERE REGULARS FOR 15 YEARS. posted this on the 07/10/07
-
I have to somewhat agree with Kathy Bates about the hoopla surrounding Dewar's. Seems a lot of the fanfare stems from those of us who grew up here in Bakersfield and years ago used to get a rare treat in visiting the place. Way before Baskin Robbins, Cold Stone and the like. There wasn't anything to compare it with back then. Now that the hoopla has spread, Dewar's prices have skyrocketed (adding to false hoopla) making them think, I feel, like the higher price puts them in an elite...
-
The order was simple: Big burger, no onions. Zuchinni. The result: Lots of onions on the burger, and zuchinni that was obviously pulled early. Not a place I would recommend during busy hours at all.
-
Home of the short order. Not a lot on the menu, but seems to be well done with a panache lacking at an IHOP or a Denny's. The breakfast and dinner plates were examples of the best of the old "diner" concepts to be had in a while, all tucked behind the Del Taco on White Lane. A touch hard to find, but probably worth it for a nice, quick diner meal.
-
Bright white walls and a clean interior are very welcoming. Staff is on the ball. Steaks are usually blah, but the grilled chicken and lamb are quite tasty. Breakfasts are well done, filling. Prices range from cheap to really darned cheap. Better than your average chain restaurant.
-
Atmosphere is standard dun-colored villa theme, with typical fast food interior. Chicken was shredded-stringy, very wet and mushy, tasteless. Burrito had way too much sour cream, and almost negligable amount of guacamole. Funny, this place had decent grilled chicken just two weeks before, but switched to the blandest, mushiest stuff I've ever eaten. Prices are on the touch of the high side for a local quick-service restaurant.
-
Zingo's is OK. They could do a better job of keeping things looking clean. I also miss some of the better servers they used to have. Lately some of the servers look a little on the edgy side. The food is usually pretty good. The steak sandwich is a favorite of mine.
-
We have never had a bad meal here. The food they serve is excellent and always fresh. For a fun "date night" dinner try Akira's. Akira's is also kid friendly.
-
This is the only Denny's in Bakersfield to consider at this time. This Denny's is always clean. Kids eat free on Tuesday and Saturday. The food is always good. No suprises either good or bad. The management and staff are excellent at this location.
-
First of all Young's Drive in is not Japanese. It is a regular drive in hamburger stand that also serve chinese food. Try their Jumbo Cheesburger special with a vanilla coke. They used crushed ice which adds that old fashioned hamburger stand touch. Go see Katie and Mike for a great lunch sometime. Don't let Oildale scare you.
