    In the middle of nowhere date/milkshake gem! Hand made date shake that's actually super good. Did not try anything else tho. Therefore, the review is only for the shake.

    3 Piece Honey Butter Tenders with Seasoned Fries

    This was such a roadtrip surprise! Got hungry and it popped up on the map, but no signs, no website.. just show up and find out! This was the best pit stop because they do such a great job with the chicken. Huge portions, not over breaded, juicy and flavorful! The sandwich had fresh pickles to top it off. They have a great secret? Sauce but everything tasted so good didn't need to dip much. We tried the banana and strawberry milkshakes which were amazing, but after being in there for 10 mins we realized their speciality is the date shake- so now we HAVE to go back! The spicy is spicy! And the honey butter is stellar- perfect sweet. Also, the staff were by far the kindest people you'll meet! Very attentive and sweet.

    Finally made the time to stop at this oasis! First off, where do all the people come from?! For being in the middle of no where this place was packed. And mostly people buying lotto tickets oddly. However also a decent line at "Bird House". This gem located within the store is serving some tantalizing chicken sandwiches. We opted for both an original and also a honey butter chicken sandwich. I also got a date shake. First off, the sandwiches are plentiful. Full pieces of chicken not small. Honestly I found both delicious but that honey butter is guilty pleasure. Pickles weren't overwhelming and the bread was nice and soft. Very very good chicken sandwiches and the date shake was the punctuation. It was such a nice blend of sweet and savory. Unique and something I would order again. Do yourself a favor next time driving from LA to Vegas and stop here!

    3 Piece Tender Meal w/ Fries

    A true oasis in the desert. Just do yourself a favor and stop! This place is an unassuming gas station, store and chicken restaurant all in one - on the way into Las Vegas heading north on the 15. I got the 3 piece meal, spicy with seasoned fries and it was freaking amazing. The chicken was super juicy and was well coated in the spicy rub that numbed my lips more and more with each bite. I didn't try the famed date shake but it seems really popular. The service was amazing and I was greeted and asked if I had any questions about the food right away. I love the review / message board that has some really nice, heart warming messages from fellow travelers and foodies alike.

    That chicken with the sauce?! Bruh. *Chefs kiss* This place needs to change their billboards to, "The best chicken in the middle of nowhere!" I've driven to and from Vegas and seen the Date Shake billboards for longer than I can remember. I finally stopped to see what it was all about. Little did I know they have THE BEST chicken, with the best dipping sauce (it's kinda like a honey mustard but not), AND some fat crinkle cut seasoned fries that are super good. That's a big deal coming from someone who isn't a fan of crinkle cut fries lol. They have honey butter, spicy and some other flavor I can't remember for the chicken. The date shake was pretty mild in flavor but extra sweet. You could tell the dates were fresh. TBH I'd probably go for a strawberry or chocolate banana next time since they let you combine flavors. A 3 piece honey butter tender box and shake came out to $24.76. The tendies were thicc. Definitely shareable. Everything is cooked to order so it's hot af when it comes out the fryer. The Bird House is situated inside the gas station, aka Cima Mining Co. that also a doubles as a souvenir shop. They sell all kinds of knick-knacks, drinks, flavored sodas, ice cream and snacks. You can even get your fortune told by the great Zoltar. Take the Cima exit. You won't be disappointed.

    So good

    Whooooo wheeeee....Their chicken sandwich is soooooo freaking good!!! I stumbled upon Bird House while driving up to Vegas after spotting a sign claiming they had the best date shake -- and as a date lover, I had to make a quick stop. What I didn't expect was finding a spot that also serves up incredible chicken sandwiches! I ordered both the date shake and a chicken sandwich, and wow -- I'm so glad I did. The shake was phenomenal -- not overly sweet, super refreshing, and honestly one of the best I've had. The chicken sandwich? Absolutely next level. Crispy, flavorful, juicy, I loved the honey it was sweet and spicy -- I devoured every single bite. Solid 5 stars. The shop also sells a variety of snacks and drinks, which I didn't have time to explore, but I definitely will next time. A special shoutout to Doc, who helped me out -- he was such a sweetheart and super friendly, which made the experience even better. This place is a total hidden gem and 100% worth the stop. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone passing through!

    Luckily there was no line when we entered. I found out about this eatery when I was googling places to eat on our way home from Vegas. After reading that 99% of the reviews were good, I said, we have to go try this place to see if the reviews are real or not. If they're not, I'll be so disappointed. I was iffy about the fact that it was inside a little store in the middle of nowhere. However, the food was amazing. Service was good, normal, and a bunch of people kept coming inside to use the restrooms. Women's restrooms are filthy here. I'd avoid them if possible. There are really no good chicken sandwiches like this one here in LA. GIVE IT A SHOT! You won't regret it!

    Spicy chicken sandwich

    The absolute best spicy chicken sandwich!! I love stopping here when I leave from Las Vegas going back to LA. the seasoning is so tasteful & has a nice kick of spice. I highly recommend grabbing one (i brought in my own big red soda from my car)

    Fries

    Surprisingly great and fresh food. One of if not the best chicken sandwiches I've had. The date shake was tasty, on the sweeter side and not overly thick. Fries were fries, but they were hot and had a nice crunch.

    Grilled chicken salad

    This is still the best chicken sandwich ever!! Juicy, plump, and full of flavor! Their salad isn't bad either!

    Busy at 1241 on a Saturday off the 15 headed to Vegas. Now I know why the bird house spicy chicken sandwich and the date shake are just OMG. A must try

    My copilot who I shared with and is now happily enjoying a food coma. And I'm jealous. But I gotta keep driving.
    Shelly C.

    Staff was friendly and patient and helpful. The order came up quick. And it was cooked perfectly. It was seriously the best chicken sandwich and shake I've ever had. Worth the splurge. And worth budgeting for in future trips. And it's super filling. I even shared with my dog and still couldn't finish the last two bites. So glad I decided to stop and eat here. I actually feel like I ate real food for once. I'm jealous of my dog enjoying her food coma. But I gotta keep driving.

    Kellie D.

    Stopped to use the restroom and saw this place and OMG it's literally the best chicken sandwich I've ever had !! The food was fresh and hott and the strawberry shake was soooo good. Definitely stopping here EVERYTIME I pass it to Vegas.

We only pulled into the gas station to use the restroom and noticed a small stand right next to it selling date shakes. Curiosity got the best of us and we're so glad it did. For around $7, the date shake was incredibly creamy, rich, and full of natural date flavor without being overly sweet. You can really taste the dates, and the texture was smooth with little pieces of dates and so satisfying, especially after a long drive. It was one of those unexpected treats that instantly puts you in a better mood. The location itself is super convenient if you're driving through the area, and it's honestly the perfect quick stop to break up the trip. What started as a simple bathroom break turned into a memorable food stop we'll definitely be looking forward to on future drives. We were pleasantly surprised by how good it was and are genuinely happy we stopped. This has officially become a must-stop for us every time we're heading back to Vegas. If you're passing through, don't skip it... get the date shake. You won't regret it.

We had been on the road for a few hours and wanted to get something to eat! The last time I visited the Mad Greek was about 20 years ago, on my way to Anaheim to visit the ADP HQ. It was good back then, and the food is still great! As soon as you walk inside the restaurant, you'll notice how spacious it is. There was table seating inside the restaurant in various locations. There is now self service kiosks where you can place your order, but there was also a team member at the register taking orders too. Their menu has changed though since I last visited. There are a lot more options you can choose from such as Breakfast items: Burritos, quesadillas and more! Hamburgers/Cheeseburgers Sandwiches (Patty Melt, BLT, Grilled cheese..) Salads Milkshakes and so much more! We decided to try the following Beef & Lamb Gyro Meal Combo - Rice/Drink Chicken Souviaki - with hummus, no tomatoes and with Feta Fries/Drink. The team member provided us with a buzzer which would let us know when the meal was ready. It was beautiful weather outside, around 80, so we ended up waiting outside at a table while our meal was getting prepared! We didn't wait too long either, about 10 minutes for the meal. It was pretty quick! My Chicken Souviaki included two skewers with lettuce and onions. The hummus was in a cup, so I was able to add as much of the hummus to the wrap as I needed. The hummus was more like a thin sauce though. It was still yummy! The chicken was quite flavorful and tender. I enjoyed the wrap. The Feta Fries though were super scrumptious! There was so much feta cheese on the Fries! I ended up dipping the French Fries into the hummus sauce! The French Fries were crunchy and just perfect! My husband and I ended up splitting the Feta Fries. I also had a chance to try out the rice, which was good, but I did like the Feta Fries better. We spent less than 30 minutes inside the restaurant, and then was back on the road to Las Vegas! The team members were helpful and friendly. The food was great. This would be my go to spot if I am looking for a quick meal at Bakersfield again!

L'INFERNO: $17 Porchetta, Nduja, Spicy Eggplant, Spicy Zucchini, Arugula This sandwich is packed with bold flavor and the perfect amount of heat. The porchetta has a rich, savory pork flavor, while the nduja, a spicy chili pepper pork spread, adds a deep smoky spice that really makes the sandwich stand out. The spicy eggplant and zucchini bring another layer of flavor and a softer texture that balances the richness of the porchetta. The arugula adds a fresh, crisp bite that brightens everything up and keeps the sandwich from feeling too heavy. The textures in the L'Inferno are honestly perfect. Between the porchetta, creamy nduja, eggplants, and fresh arugula, every bite is flavorful and well balanced. If you like sandwiches with a little spice and a lot of flavor, this one is a great choice! LA PARADISO: $18 Mortadella, Stracciatella, Pistachio Cream, Pistachios This was easily my favorite sandwich here. The mortadella is sliced super thin and has such a smooth, silky texture with a really nice pork flavor. The stracciatella is incredibly creamy, rich, and fresh. If you love burrata like I do, you will definitely love this. The pistachio cream is what really makes this sandwich special. It adds just a hint of sweetness that brings everything together and makes the flavors stand out even more. When it mixes with the creamy stracciatella it creates such a good combination. The crushed pistachios also add a really nice crunch that balances the whole sandwich out. Of course the star of the show is the Tuscan schiacciata bread. It is perfectly baked with a chewy texture that holds everything together so well. I still love how simple but high quality their ingredients are. It really shows how amazing a sandwich can be when everything is fresh and authentic. This place STILL deserves all the hype!
