I love a delicious Pad Thai. What makes The Orchid’s Pad Thai exceptional is how light and fresh it is; not tasting fried in the least. The coral-colored egg noodles are light and fluffy and full of tangy, nutty flavor. The chicken and shrimp nestled inside the noodles are perfectly cooked, tender and juicy. On top of the hot noodles is a menagerie of crisp shredded carrots, bright purple-hued shaves of cabbage, crisp strings of bean sprouts and ample shreds of cooling cilantro. All of The...

I love the concept of their wine bar and felt very metropolitan in Bakersfield. One side of their wine bar houses the reds and keeps them at room temperature. The other side of the bar is chilled and stores the whites. I ordered the Mac ‘n’ Cheese with lobster. It was luxurious mac and cheese with five types of cheese, truffles and lobster. I offered each of the girls a bite, but I kept my hands on the bowl as I passed it to Katie since she loves comfort food. Sixteen dollars for...

The Orchid is located in the Brimhall Square shopping center on the corner of Brimhall and Calloway. Just look for their fabulous outdoor dining patio with wrought iron chairs and market umbrellas. From bright warm colors on the walls to dark tones in the wood to the grey slate water feature in the dining room, it’s easy to tell that this is not a typical restaurant in Bakersfield. My Blue Crab Avocado Salad ($12) was beautifully presented with spring mix greens and real blue crab meat...

Everyone I run into has been talking about this place. It’s been a while since I’ve heard so much chatter about a new restaurant in town. People can’t tell me enough about the pay-as-you-go wine bar or gush enough about the lobster-studded Mac ‘n’ Cheese. Walking into The Orchid, I was struck by the atmosphere. The dining room décor is nicer than I expected of a place in a strip mall. The dark woods and dim pendant lighting give it a subdued,...

I can only give three stars based on the fact that what I had was eaten and served at home. Today was my birthday and my mom and dad surprised me with a thick slab of Famous Dave's Bread Pudding. It came pre packaged with instructions, but most of all, it was pretty darn good. Actually pretty darn good doesn't quite explain it. It may be because I haven't had dessert in ages (eating disorder) but I ate most of this piece and licked the plate clean...seriously. The pecan caramel sauce was...

It's easy to see why this is the top-rated radio station in town. Two of the biggest hate-mongers in radio, Rush Limbaugh and Jaz McKay, call this station home. They are both racists, homophobes, and clearly have very little self-esteem. And the rednecks in this town eat up this garbage. Ralph Bailey is pretty cool, though. He's the only reason why I'm giving KNZR two stars instead of one. Oh yeah, and Bill O'Reilly's stupidity makes me laugh on a daily basis, only he's not...

CCIS has been an exceptional business partner. The professionalism that they approach every job with is demonstrated in the prompt attention they offer any current or future customer. CCIS worked with our association to provide a solid option when reviewing potential employees and business partners. The company offers wonderful seminar on issues facing businesses today. CCIS anticipates the needs of business so that their clients have a competitive advantage. I would recommend to anyone that...

We had a large group of 20 for a birthday the service was HORRIBLE. Waiter got everything wrong. Drink orders took 30 minutes plus. We were told there was only 1 bartender. We ordered a bottle of champagne it took 45 minutes to get it after asking for it twice. Limited choice of menu items and they were out of 2 of them. They did not tell us until we tried to order them. I ordered the steak it was supposed to come with a salad didn't get the salad until after getting the steak, ask...

I ate there on Friday and had the grilled chicken panini, it was pretty good. We had an office lunch and will definitely try it again.
-
MUCH better now with the new owners! Fresh and quality food.. great prices.. and great service!
-
Fresh: yep! Quality: yes! A great place for a fresh, healthy meal.
-
This is our favorite Mexican restaurant. We have tried just about everything on the menu and can honestly say their food is equal to their service -- the best in town.
-
This place has the best service and the best margaritas in town. Also the camarones a la diabla, the best I ever had. Ask for the specially flavored margaritas (guava, is the best).
-
“ Absolutely pathetic. Garbage food, amateur service. It's just about as bad as can be. The only thing they do right is chips, and it is because they come straight out of the bag, but it takes a lot more than that to run a restaurant. It takes a good cook, good manager/owner and good service. Since when the pastor tacos are 3 little pieces of steak and chorizo, give me a break, whom are you trying to fool. I was willing to forgive that, however as soon as had the first bite, I just...
-
Oh man this place is ssssoooooo good. I love the food so much I have been there twice already within a week period and I am going there today. I have tried the grilled chicken panini and the Autumn turkey and they are both really good. The fresh cut fruit bowl is so good it is way better then something you can get at a grocery store. I just wish they were open on the weekends because then I would be there even more.
-
My wife and I love Sinaloa. The service has always been great, and the food better. If you want tradirional Mexican food, then Sinaloa is the right place. By the way, ask for bread and butter along with your chips and salsa.
-
I like Joseph's for the food and atmosphere. The service is just what you expect at any restaurant. The steaks, oh man the steaks, are to die for. Good pasta as well. Keep it up.
-
I also agree that this is a top-rate vet for your cat. I was adopted by a 1 year old cat who kept showing up at the door at the house I was renting. I became concerned that she was going into heat, and I took her to another local vet (who was recommended to me) to have her fixed. That vet told me they couldn't take my cat for surgery for 2 months. I had seen Serenity Cat Hospital in the neighborhood, so I stopped by, just to see how long their wait was to perform the surgery on my...

We went to Stars for the first time, to enjoy a nice evening out for our First Anniversary on 6/7/08 We had the BEST experience ! The bartender didn't have much 'spunk' - she seemed bored to death! But the rest of the staff was awesome! and catered to our every whim. The food was really good, which kinda surprised us! The performance was a comedy ~ and we were delighted with the entire experience. If you want something 'different' to do in Bakersfield, we deffinately suggest an evening...

We've been eating at Cafe Med since they first opened in the northeast 20 years ago. Usually we love the food. But things have gone downhill in the past few years. DON'T go on a special holiday like Mother's Day. They overbook the reservations, they don't have enough waiters, and they run out of food on the buffet. We went for our anniversary (not having been there since the year before) and were very disappointed. They gave us a dirty water glass and when my...

Try the stuffed grape leaves (dolmades). This place is a little spendy but has great atmosphere and great food if you are ready for something different.
-
This place is wonderful. Their calzones are very big and tasty. Sometimes we go by just to pick up pints of red and white sauce to use at home. They always throw in some french bread. Go early as it is always slammed.
-
I have been there almost every Friday. I see the same friendly bar tenders some of the same crowd. The music is happening and the crowd is very safe. i like the fact that they have tight security. It feels like LA club and the lounge decor is awesome. I like to be in a safe club since i am female. I like the nice looking guys that come there

As a downtown Bakersfield resident, I can't help but express how much disgust I have toward KGET. This station has smeared downtown Bakersfield for years. I remember one night when I was sitting at my favorite watering hole and the Channel 17 evening news was on. A downtown shooting had occurred, and the "live" shot of downtown Bakersfield was completely made up. They were showing footage of people getting arrested from the location where I was. So I got up and looked outside, and...
-
Great! The changes that have been made over the past 3 months are huge, and have made me a daily viewer. Not just the wonderful cosmetic changes have swayed me... a change in pace, quality, and attitude is really getting me more and more invested weekly. Love it KBAK... keep it going!!!!
-
disappointment is the only real word I can use... they used to be a huge favorite of mine, but after returning to town after about 2 years away everything has changed. Too many young "anchors"... too much fluffy news... and not nearly enough actual news. I switched to KBAK TV-29 and love all of the changes they've made.
-
I love thier pickled tongue sandwiches and their fries are just the way I like them. Gilbert, who is usually going to take your order, is entertaining -- though his sense of humor may come across dry and flat (or rude) to some. He's not really charging you $14,530 :) If you have ever seen the movie Kentucky Fried Movie, he is a spitting image of Dr. Klahn!

I was very impressed with the web site and wanted to place an order for a baby shower... however I live out of town and needed to e-mail the photos of what i had in mind. I went to the "contact us" page and left all my information, as well as a link to the cupcakes i had in mind. I never got an e-mail back, nor did I get a phone call. Not a big deal... so I called and asked if anyone has received it, and asked if someone was able to talk to me about what I had in mind. Not sure if the owner...

Well, the changes have been made, and they've gone from mediocre to just god awful. I ordered a Chicken basket and extra pieces of chicken. After the sizeable wait to order (somewhat understandable due to a late employee), my order arrived... to my horror. My fries were overcooked, my hushpuppies out-and-out burnt, and the chicken was also overdone with a piece being hard as a rock. *sigh* Time to mosey on to another place to eats.
-
I would get buy these sandwiches, as they are great but they need a different location. I never go to the mall. PSW
-
Very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. They arrived when they said they would (which was the same day I called) and they didn't try to sell me something I didn't need. I'll be using them again for regular maintainence.
-
Wonderful sandwiches and our favorite fast food place. Too bad they're in the mall.
-
Rude, rude people and just OK sandwiches. It's a wonder they've been in business for so long.
-
I would love to give this place more stars but I can't for a couple of reasons. While the sandwiches are wonderful, but service isn't. Some of the counter help act as if they're annoyed that they have a customer to wait on, while a few have been downright rude. Also, I agree with earlier poster who commented on cash registers. It's time to move into the 21st century. How much can a register cost?

Daddy O's Frozen Yogurt & Gelato
Daddyos yogurt was sooo good. my friends and i went there for the first time yestrerday and im sure we will be back all the time. They had so many different flavors and toppings to choose from!

-
I have done business with this group for several weeks now; they always done a super job for me at a very fair price.
-
A Bakersfield Staple. Love it!! Love it!! Love it!!
-
simply the best food in bako. this is a must try for anyone who wants to leave satisfied and take a nap when they get home. (or back to work)
-
We drive over from Ridgecrest to eat there when ever we can. We eat lunch, then order dinner to go! We love the food and have always found the staff to be very accomdating. They package our to go portions very well for the long trip home in the ice chest. They are NEVER RUDE!!!!
-
Always Great, It has been awhile sinse we have eaten there. Went last week-end . It was still GREAT, One of the best year-in and year-out.

Scotsman's Restaurant & Lounge
Mmmm, pie. What more can I say about this place? There is nothing like a homemade berry pie a la mode at this truck stop cafe. I've been there twice for pie. That's all I order when I go there. Pie. Even the word is sweet to say out loud. Pie.
-
My family and I love this place, that is if you don't order the pizza. The pizza isn't horrible, but it's just not the place for pizza. Their pasta, salads, and just about everything else on the menu is great. And really, their pizza is good too, it's just no the best in town, or I guess not a place to go for just pizza. The staff is real nice as well, but one down side to this place is the wait on some nights. Others have obviously found how good it is, and so like many restaurants you...
-
Great restaurant with great prices! I've been there twice so far and each time is an exciting taste of food! Definitely is unique and different if you're looking to get away from the every day type grub. The staff was very friendly as well, and quick with the orders. I really like this place, and I definitely recommend trying one of their Kabob sandwiches!
-
The Panda Palace did not have any munchies or food for my kids. I was very disappointed to see what seem to me to be a fly also enjoying the food. The food was average, the atmosphere was average, and the cleanliness was below average. I do not think I would go there again.
-
Although Randolphs brings a hip hop vibe at night to the mostly concervative Rosedale Community, it provides for a carefree dance atmoshphere with the simplicity of a small town pub. With Rockstar right across the way, the diversity in its simplist nature works. Rockstar is filled with posters of Rock legends and a down home, good ole boy atmosphere. Even though these two watering holes are very different in style and in atmosphere, they both work in Rosedale and are very welcomed in...

Why are all of the links on Dining inaccessable????????????
-
Por favor no senor! Si Senor Grill is pretty far from being a serious contender is the local Mexican food industry. We dined there last night. I had read all of the reviews here and went in with an objective mind. We had dined there once before, but it was a birthday party and we just ate whatever was ordered for the party. This was our first dinner experience. At first I was impressed with the prompt seating and having our drink order taken right away. The promptness wore off pretty...
