I recommend Costco for most everything in the store I do wish they would have a self checkout sort of like Sam Club does but they usually keep the the lines moving fast enough that it's not too painful the only problem that I have with the checkout lines is when you're going to the self checkout they no longer have wands and you have to pick every item out of the card and put it on the conveyor belt yourself so you can scan it. N o problem unless dealing with a 20 to 30 lb bag of rice and beans that is a little over the top but when I have those items I choose to go through the lines where the workers will remove those items, They also have the best Meats in the business if you don't believe try them for yourself go for the prime select Meats,as the choice is good but the marbling on the prime steaks and ribeye are Bar None to many meat market I have ever been to. Costco also has the snack bar which is outside the store and the only downfall with that is they have six to eight machines outside and only two to three work which is not a problem during most of the day but around noon and around 5:00 p.m. they're super crowded and you're dealing with a lot of people who act like they've never been to Costco and can't pick what they want so it takes a lot longer to get to one of those machines. The upside is when you do get to the counter the step is really quick and friendly and make sure your order is complete before they send you on your way with a smile. read more

My neighborhood Costco! I much prefer this location than the Rosedale store because I know exactly where I need to go to get what I need. The customer reps here are very helpful and welcoming. The parking lot is big and I don't feel like the lines are at a stand still here. Workers move pretty efficiently to try to get everyone helped and on their way. The food court is outside so it's easy for customers to grab food items on their way to their cars. read more

Great Costco here! I did not have trouble finding a parking space. It was fun to walk around, get some samples, and check out the new products and items on sale. read more

I really enjoy coming to this location because their food court is outside. I like the system they have where you order at the kiosks and then get in line. It's more efficient. Always stop in for a slice and then sit and enjoy it in line while I wait to gas up my car. read more

Actually came in on the weekend since it was my day off. I came in to return some Items since I hate coming in since it's always crowded. I went to the customer service counter and was supposed To be helped , but I felt more like I was being interrogated. I was trying to return items that were purchased at the store. He asked Who bought what and where and when . I have never encountered this issue and he made feel like I had stolen the items from all the questions he was asking . One speaker I purchased the second I won in a raffle by my employer and vacuum was given to me as a gift. Kevin was his name and I do not ever want to deal with him ever again. The moral of the story is don't deal with Kevin ! read more

Costco - The customers are not always right - Department Stores Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Quality/Quantity - Gas fill-up time. While I was here, I checked if this location had any craft beer = NO... Weird that I do not have any pictures or a review on this Costco...? They are the same ones I usually stop at? Was this during my pre-Yelp life? Anyways... Atmosphere - Consistent, except they have an outdoor food court. See picture. Open 7 days a week from 9:30am or 10am to 6pm or 8:30pm. Plenty of parking. Also available - Tire department, pharmacy, optical, etc. Service - Self service. Price - Good values, I rarely check prices. But nothing I wanted from this location. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success at this location since 2006. Congrats on all your success since 1976, since Price Club. Now you are the 5th largest retailer in the world and #10 on the Fortune 500. 804 warehouses worldwide, with 558 in the US. 1980 IPO. 1993 Price Club and Costco merger. 1997 Rebrand all locations to Costco. 2020 105.5 million members. read more

Costco is Costco. They definitely have a little different options, at a much better deal, when it comes to some things for sure. I wish the Bakersfield locations had a more diverse option, when it came to the meat selection, as well as the ethnic options other Costcos have down south. You can't beat the food court options but I am definitely not a fan of the pizza, since it's a little floppy. Pretty hard to beat a pizza taken home and done in the oven for another 7-10 minutes, at 450 degrees. I would definitely recommend the whole meat options and cut them down to your own portions for a better price. When it comes to the big box items, you truly can't beat the prices. Larger food items, for a much cheaper price. This goes the same for some of their clothing items, regarding prices. Gas at this location is .10 cheaper than anywhere around. This gas location isn't as big as the Rosedale location but seems to be fairly quick. Go for the executive membership too, so you can get in an hour earlier, as well as get that 2% back, which for us pays for itself every year. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. To touch on the service, I've never had anyone that hasn't been helpful or friendly at the checkout. Regarding the "ambiance", it's Costco. Get in, get your stuff, hope you beat the lines and have a hot dog and a soda on your way out, for only $1.50 read more

Service is great. Value is much better than other stores and I love their selection. The gas is always less than other gas stations and they have good sales. read more

Always impressed with the professionalism and customer service in the Costco Tire center. Great tires, warranty, and free rotation!

Purchased and consumed the product Ajinomoto Shoyu Ramen on 1/25/26 which caused me to go to the doctor 2 days later only to find out I had blood in my stool and blood coming out of me, back to doctor 3 more times. Was just notified on 3/3/26 of the recall of glass in the product, still going thru scans and gastrointestinal problems read more

I've been here numerous times, but this is the first time I'm leaving a review. I made a quick stop today to pick up a Nordictrack treadmill since my old one's motor finally gave out. I prefer getting my treadmills from Costco because they offer the best value and good deal compared to other stores. read more

The other day I came in in March and I asked Mario about Michelin tires. He suggested to come back in April. I did and I got a great deal. He called me back after the tires came in and got me in when they were not busy. All the guys and the tire selections are very helpful. But I wanted to give a good shout out to Costco about Mario. read more

Just renewed my membership after 15 years, I was very disappointed with the food court, It was 104 outside, ordered a pepperoni pizza, two hot dog combos. When I received my order,I was told they didn't have soda from the fountain, no ice! Was given two warm Cokes in a can! And the pizza I received wasn't cut into the normal 8 slices but in several inconsistent slices 13 if I remember correctly, some big, some slivers. Totally not what I remember. And didn't look or taste anything like it used to be. I'm regretting renewing my membership. Sam's Club pizza is way better then this crap! read more

Jesus - Front end! Thank you! Have been kinda scared to come since its been crazy packed but today ( Saturday March 1st) wasn't bad. Got a few heavy boxes, as soon as I walk Jesus asked if he could assist us! Wow! Customer service other places have been lacking, but in total todays service was great! From the door greeter, the cashier to Jesus! Thank you once again Jesus! read more

I want to Thank employee Debbie at the Panama Lane Costco in Bakersfield CA. My ac1 was low and I was not feeling well. I was in the self checkout area. Debbie always has a pleasant greeting. She noticed I was looking ill, proceeded to scan my items in my basket and gave me well wishes. She's a total asset to Costco and I appreciate her for going the extra mile with exceptional Customer Service and Human Kindness!! Thank You Ms. Debbie!! You Rock!! read more

I don't shop at Costco often but today I decided to stop by. Place is packed as usual. I had two carts full at the end and of course really long lines. I wish they had scan and go like Sam's club, maybe I would shop here more. read more

Great store they had stuff that I could not find at mine. I always stop here when I'm in that town and always find great deals.

I came in with 2 of my friends (just 3 of us) and his mom has a membership active and they turned us down. we offered to buy just 1 single item and they still said no. so we went to ask for a guest pass or a one day pass and they said that it's not possible unless you have a membership! never shopping here with my family again read more

The food court very unorganized. Don't even know which line to go to pick up pizza, no sign. You wait in line for 20-30 mns for them to tell you that you need to go to another line to pick up pizza. Ended up waiting a total of 1 hour overall. read more

Well ... yesterday was a day and a half to say the least and right before this Costco was closing we learned that the tv we had purchased did not have all the options we needed. I went there just moments before closing and returned what tv we did not want. I was able to purchase the tv we needed. Wanda, Nataly, Trevor, Jared, Isaac, Latiana, and Tyrhele were the best. Patience and kindness were tremendous. Humor goes a long way. Thank you. Nope, this trip wasn't perfect, there were employees that snapped at me and/or ignored me ...on a Holiday weekend --well, it isn't easy for anyone to stay above par. Again, I truly appreciated the outcome and nope, I didn't expect perfection--just a nice outcome; that happened. read more

I love Costco! You can find anything here. I managed to get all of my CHristmas shopping done here. But what i am most excited to brag about today is not the great prices on toilet paper and groceries. Although, yes that's worth bragging about. But recently i purchased a beautiful sectional sofa that i am loving! It's a Bainbridge sectional and it's comfy and cozy and made well. I know that purchasing at the warehouse is cheaper. But because i don't have a friend with a truck and frankly don't want to deal with the hassle. So i opted to order online. And went for the white glove for $50. And it was soooooo worth it! The delivery company called and scheduled an appointment one week before delivery and the guys were professional, efficient and careful with the couch! They set it up for me and placed it exactly where i wanted it. And on top of that, they hauled away all the packaging and cardboard. Thank you Costco! read more

Very horrible experience with the customer service manager named Amanda. Made us feel completely like a bother and was annoyed with us asking for a refund on an older item. A simple no would have sufficed. We were not being difficult and did not deserve the unfair treatment we got that day. Even the regular employees were scared to process our return after she gave us the go ahead. Maybe retrain your managers. read more

I love this store. I could always find everything I'm looking for. The fruit and vegetables are in great shape. The employees are very nice and make you feel welcomed. If i have any questions or concerns I know I can get help with no problem. read more

Aisles are far too crowded therefore difficult to get around. Just crap everywhere. The food court in particular is awful. It is dirty and trash cans are overflowing. Only some of the ordering machines worked. Only one soda machine worked. Food is not as before - tasteless and some of the condiment dispensers were empty. Extremely disappointed. read more

This location is similar to most Costco's I have been to, however, it seems to be less hectic than most. I would like to mention that this location DOES NOT HAVE A PHOTO CENTER! I know this from experience and error. If you would like any photography service you will have to go to the Rosedale location. However, they do offer the optometry services. Also, this locations' food court is outside, which I like better, as it seems to be less hectic with this set up. This is a perk when I call in for some pizzas. All in all, the gas lines aren't too bad either, if you are looking for a "somewhat" less busy location I would come here!! read more

So like many of you out there, I enjoy going to Costco just not on the weekends lol. I'm not sure what it is but I like shopping at the SW Costco rather than the NW Costco. The thing with shopping at Costco is that if you see something you like or might want to buy, you need to buy it right there and then cause it might not be there on your next visit. They always have new items and goodies to choose from and the gas is always at a good price too. So if you don't have a membership you should get one. Oh and did I forget to mention the hotdogs and drink at the food court for $1.50. read more

Not all Costco's are created equally. From the two places, this one is my least favorite place to go to. I've had memberships for years, but didn't feel the need to renew my membership in 2014 because of the same reason. If I decide to come back to Costco, the only reason why I'd visit this Costco versus the other location would only be because this one is closer to my house. Staff is just rude here. My husband waited on customer service for an item and it took forever for someone to actually help him and then they said they didn't have the product at this location and there was 3 at the other one and they were not able to call for us because basically it's our problem not theirs. Worst customer service here. I don't regret terminating my membership because of the way staff carries themselves, if I was ever to obtain another membership here, it would only be to get in on the deals here. read more

One star for customer service from big JESSICA, wearing a baby blue shirt today 4/14/22 @6:30. Had very few items so decided to leave in cart so that it's " easier" she then proceeds to tell us to "unload the items onto the table JUST LIKE THE REST OF THE OTHER PEOPLE" literally said that out loud.. felt so embarrassed, I don't know if she thinks that we were being lazy or "privileged " but we were just trying to make it easier for her. I went over to get a replacement card at the member services and mentioned it to sweet Alicia, she's so lovely and sweet. Shame on you Jessica for giving Costco a bad look on their customer service. Maybe try getting some great customer service advise from Alicia, it be really helpful. I can tell working in a industry of customer service is NOT FOR YOU. read more

Planned on getting breakfast while waiting for them to install the tires that I just spent $656 for. Apparently that was too much to ask, because they're out out of hot dogs. How in the F could they be out of their signature item? It's bad enough that they've switched their drink offerings to undrinkable Pepsi products in a fountain that has never been properly set up. Btw, your pretty much guaranteed to get food poisoning from the onion dispenser if you're lucky enough to be able to buy a hot dog. Last time I used it I became violently ill. I don't think they bother to swap out the dispensers contents or clean it. read more
