I'm not a big fish guy only really liked H. Salt fish and chips and are getting hard to find. Decided to try this place and got the fish and chips, the tri tip sandwich and shimo and onion rings. First off the place was cool and very fun atmosphere giving beachy vibes. Service was excellent and food can out fresh and hot. Every thing was so tasty and I am definitely coming back for all the food especially the fish and chips when I'm in the mood for fish. Growing up in so. Cal I was often hanging out at the beach especially Main Street in Huntington Beach and this place took me back to that place I loved. Give them a try and you won't be disappointed read more

Fish, shrimp, chowder, fries... Everything is good. Except for the coleslaw, which is bland . If you order the tri-tip sandwich with the beach style, it's amazing. read more

Coconut Joe's - Shrimp and fish combo. Only got 1 fish, but those shrimp were yummy - Fish & Chips Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Some of my favorite food here in bakersfield! Service is always amazing and the vibes in that place is amazing!!!

Coconut Joe's remains one of my preferred dining establishments in the area. They offer the finest fish and chips in town, and their tri-tip is consistently seasoned and prepared to perfection. My personal recommendation is Javi's tacos, which feature battered shrimp and avocado, arguably representing the best tacos available. Furthermore, their customer service is exemplary and continues to meet expectations. read more

This restaurant was near a charging station so we ended up stopping here for lunch. It looks like it's probably a restaurant chain, but the food was decent! The kids menu items are super affordable too. I ordered the fish and chips for myself, which were cooked nicely but I would have preferred a little less batter. My husband ordered the barbecue sliders. I wasn't really expecting much, but it actually came with a lot of meat and I liked that they served the sauce on the side so you could control how much you want. This place is counter service only, so don't expect anything fancy! But it was a nice option instead of something fast food or a chain that we could get back home. read more

The food is always amazing. The service was great and had no problem finding a table.

Coconut Joe's has been a staple in my family for just about as long as I can remember. They're a long time, go to for my father and I after work outs and post practice meals in my youth, as well as a regular for plenty of family nights. Coconut Joe's is still a welcomed regular at any family gathering and a personal favorite of mine to this day. They've always had a strong burger. The huli huli burger n fries which is their pineapple burger is my favorite. For family style eating, their half pack and full packs are perfect. Their tri tip is good on its own, but with the corn, rice, and coleslaw mixed in with it is next level and the flavor always brings me back good times. The vibe inside is super fun. They fully embrace the surfer theme and have surf decorations wall to wall. Their televisions play classic surf trip movies which are fun to watch. Sometimes in the winter they will play snowboard and ski trip videos. Back in my youth, this was one of my favorite parts of the experience. I still love it, but don't get to dine in as often as I used to. They're great for take out, though I find the burger and fries are best enjoyed fresh in the restaurant. read more

Since moving to Bakersfield four years ago, I always wanted to pop into this place. From the outside, I got the impression that it was a full on steak and seafood house. I was surprised when I walked in and found that it is a casual Hawaiian barbecue inspired Spot. When you walk into the place, it's like you're at a beach spot at Paradise Cove in Malibu or in San Diego. The menu has quite a few options for meats and plates. The restaurant offers both surf and turf options and you can get those in a bowl, burrito, or tacos. Since it was our first time there, we ordered a few things: Javi's shrimp tacos, lobster roll, chicken, gumbo, and Kahlúa pork sliders. Our sides included coleslaw, whole beans, and french fries. So the way this works is you walk up to the counter and order from the menu and then you go find your spot and they either bring it to you or call out your name/number. If you've ever been to Wahoos fish tacos it's very similar to that set up. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and since it was our first time they allowed us to taste a few of their side items to ensure that we would enjoy them. There is plenty of seating at this place indoors and outdoors. The indoor seating can accommodate large parties by putting tables together. I definitely wanna go back and have the Javi's shrimp tacos... Right now they are my favorite! Enjoy! read more

First time visiting and ordered the Lobster and Shrimp Roll. It comes with a small Clam Chowder and 3 perfectly fried shrimp. Absolutely delicious!!! I asked if the lobster & shrimp filling was cold and they said it was but the roll was toasted so it warms it all up. Best meal ive had in a while. Id do it again!!! read more

So good! We love the Tri-Tip, salads, bread bowls, chicken gumbo and onion rings!Great ranch too

We saw a billboard on our way to eat somewhere else, I also check Yelp first. But I also read most recent reviews, DO NOT SKIP ON THIS PLACE OR PAY ATTENTION TO THEIR STARS! We're so glad we tried this place. First of all it's absolutely adorable inside. The man who served us was amazing, knowledgeable and helpful! You order before you sit and they bring your food out. He suggested they were best known for their chicken and tri trip. So we tried that as well as the Kalua pork. Everything was outstanding and we will be back. Very reasonably priced as well! read more

Came here for a friend's birthday dinner. One of the few places that still will reserve a room for large get together. It was really easy, you order at the counter and they bring it out to you. I was stuck between the fish tacos and the burger with pineapple. I went fish since is a fish joint and got beans and corn as my side. My wife got the fish and chips and a carrot cake. I also remembered to add a side of spicy ranch. Chips were mid. Definitely not crispy enough. Lacked seasoning. My fish tacos were great, i do wish they did not use oil and semi-fry the tortillas. It defeats the point of trying to eat a healthy grilled fish option. Next time I will make sure to make that request. 4 stars Beans and corn were surprisingly good. Jalapeño ranch was good! If they did their fries better it would be killer for dipping! The star of the show was the carrot cake. It was so good I had more than just the bite I initially anticipated. Moist, not too sweet. Decadent cream cheese frosting. Nice amount of nuts. Yum!! Good food. Great service. Great cake! Overall a solid place. read more

Coconut Joe's - Original Fish Tacos(3) - Fish & Chips Near Me - Bakersfield, California

First timer. Decided on the "big plate" and a bev, ran me little over $20. Just kinda missed the mark for me. Debate in the big plate, 5 pieces of Tri tip and two piece chicken, rice corn and a Hawaiian roll. Lacked seasoning and flavor in general for me. Looks liked their known more for fish and chips/bread bowls so maybe all have to explore that next time. read more

Food lacked flavor, very bland. My order was online and when I got there, it was ready. The employees were hard at work and friendly. I have always enjoyed looking at their decorations. read more

Stumbled upon Coconut Joes. Shockingly delicious tri-trip and very reasonable pricing Fun atmosphere and theme read more

The last time I ate here was 11 years ago, prior to that we frequented this location. The food is still flavorful, and I was not disappointed in the least, however, my son and I did find that we had to order 3 big plates in order to get full (we each weigh 200 lb). The service was top notch, and the ambiance is over the top wonderful (as always). We had the tri-tip, bbq chicken, and then split a large plate of fish & chips. The fish was about half of what you would get at lengthwise for a similar price, but very delicious. The tri-tip was as good as I remember and waaaaaaaaay more flavorful than Harris BBQ (on Buena Vista). The bbq chicken was delicious, but the drumstick was the size of my index finger, so small compared with 11 years ago, but all chicken seems to be getting smaller and smaller at all restaurants. Overall, we are happy with the results, and it's nice to see that a restaurant that weathered COVID and all the price hikes is still making quality food. (We only took off one star for portion size as at $66 for lunch, there are many places that will fill us up...such as Lengthwise). read more

Quickie review ... Coconut Joes offers a beach-inspired atmosphere and a diverse menu. West Coast Style Shrimp & Lobster S-wich, cup of clam chowder and 3 battered shrimp gets a four-star rating, while the chicken rice and corn plate earned 2.5 stars., totally not worth buying again in my opinion, at least that day. The banana nut cake and chocolate cake, (comparable to sweet surrender and a Jake's Tex Mex cake ..) along with quick and friendly service, stood out as shining 5 stars in my experience. read more

We always enjoy this place whenever we go. The food is great, the service at the counter is always helpful and friendly, and the place is clean and fun. Love the tiki Hawaiian atmosphere because it reminds me of my dad who loved Jimmy Buffet. During our latest visit, we got the lobster roll, the tri-tip meat platter, the kids grilled cheese and burrito and a luau burrito. All of good but u wasn't partial to the corn and my little one said the kids burrito wasn't very good. Still, for the quality and price the place can't be beat. And try the banana cake! It's so delicious! Highly recommend! read more

Visited here on a whim since I always forget this place exists! It is nestled within a busy shopping center. The location is fun and fresh, it definitely gives tiki/ Hawaiian vibes! I had shrimp tacos with a side of corn and slaw. The tacos were fresh and delicious and perfectly seasoned. I enjoyed the slaw but the corn was a little bland. The staff were amazing. They were kind and upbeat despite the crazy lunch rush. The food runner was very friendly! read more

I personally loved their salmon sandwich, it was the perfect balance of everything and loved the sauce they had on there! I had a side of gumbo as well and that was amazing! i liked the atmosphere and it's a great place for your family to go to! read more

I LOVE COCO JOES, The meat does taste a lil cheap on the huli huli, but being in the environment that your in, with old classic surf music and surf boards and surfing on the tv, you are bound to have a good date with you're girlfriend and the movies is right outside, make sure you use protection gentlemen, the workers are super friendly and the chocolate cake is The food comes out pretty quick and make sure you get ranch and ketchup, I've only eaten the burger and there's no reason to get anything else, I have had a bite of my brothers tri tip sandwhich and it's not bad! read more

The atmosphere was very beachy and pretty cool. They have a very large canoe hanging from the ceiling. It's like being at the cost here in town. The food was excellent. The lobster roll tray was big enough for two to share. The burrito has a sweet sauce we would have preferred to be left out. Everything was super good and made fresh to order. The ranch was delicious. Everything was very good and quick. The service was good you order as soon as you walk in and they bring the food to the table. read more

For the last 3 Friday nights, we have gone in to dine before 8 pm, and they are always out of lots of food. Last week was rice. Tonight was chicken, tri tip, and coleslaw. When we asked the young man in sun shades why, every Friday night, they are out of something over an hour before closing, and he responds, "Because people eat here" My husband asked me if I wanted to go somewhere else, and the young man puts out a smurk and says "Later" We love eating here every Friday night. But we will not be returning with customers service like this. Things are very expensive these days and we can't help that. But I don't have to tolerate being treated disrespectful when I am paying his salary. read more

Came to Bakersfield on a business trip and stumbled into Coconut Joe's, this is the coolest place. I wish I had this place where I live in Southern California. I would've loved it.

Came in before a movie. You order at a counter, then they bring it out to you. I had the 3-piece chicken plate. It comes with 2 sides. I had the beans and the slaw. The beans can be a bit spicy as there are large pieces of jalapeño in them. The slaw is very good, I highly recommend it. It is very light. The chicken had good flavor and wasn't dry. Cute decor, very casual & country music in the background. read more

Grub Hub delivery Food arrived hot. So hot there were holes in the lid. This is design flaw in delivery/take out that should really be fixed. The fish and chips were good. But they either don't have malt vinegar or they forgot despite my request for extra. *edit to add* NOT a design flaw! Done to ensure fried food doesn't get soggy. 3 to 4 stars. read more

I had an amazing experience at Coconut Joe's! The food was absolutely delicious--everything was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. I have the javis tacos . The customer service was just as impressive; the staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel really welcome from start to finish. On top of that, the restaurant itself is beautiful, with a great atmosphere that makes you want to relax and enjoy your time there. I can't wait to go back again soon! read more

I have a love hate relationship with this restaurant. Service is always fantastic, and I am never disappointed in my food but I swear every time I come I try to order the dang gumbo and they are always out or not available. No joke prolly the past 4-5 visits same thing. I've never once gotten to try it. :( so for that aspect I'm docking you 1 star on this review. Aside from that though I've had lots of items here but my most recent visit I got the Huli burger, holy damn it was a tasty burger, the meat flavor was great and had a good char flavor. That grilled pineapple is what sets it off though. Great burger id definitely get it again, the fries are great. Also the price for the meal was very reasonable. read more

Been here twice and it's delicious! The ambiance is cute. Service is great and food is amazing. Had the pulled pork sandwich with onion rings and corn and a delicious banana cake! Definitely a new go to restaurant read more

I've been seeing this place a lot as it's right across from the hotel I stay in for work so I decided to try it out. I wish I could give 3.5 cause it's definitely a solid place to eat! Like I've said countless times: if they have tri tip on the menu I'm gonna get it. I got a 2 meat platter with tri tip and chicken with the chicken gumbo. The tri tip was good but not amazing. Definitely better than a lot of others I've had. The chicken was also good but not the best. Needed a little bbq sauce. The chicken gumbo though was amazing. Had a nice little kick and was a tasty treat and great way to start off the meal. If you're around Coconut Joes I'd definitely say to stop in as you won't be dissatisfied. Not the most amazing place but definitely a solid spot to stop in for lunch. read more

Our committee held a birthday celebration for the US Army's 250 years in existence at Coconut Joe's Banquet Hall on Easton, just behind the AMC 6 Theaters. It was held on Saturday, June 14 for all of the soldiers that served for the last 250 years! Assisting us with any needs that cropped up was manager Juan Valenzuela. Juan helped us in so many ways when it came to making our event a glorious one. He was willing to bend over backwards to help us in any was possible. Juan will make a very good owner one day. I'm so honored to be his friend and am very thankful for Joe as well. I definitely recommend this wonderful get away tropical oasis and its wonderful banquet hall. The restaurant is definitely my fave in Bako. I would recommend the banquet hall for any occasion or wake. Thank you Joe and especially Juan. read more
