If you go for brunch on Saturday definitely get there early as they fill up fast and don't take reservations. As the place fills up the noise does escalate. But it's a happy fun atmosphere. We all had the breakfast smash burgers which were juicy and delicious! We ordered a side of the Green Dukkah Fries, Yum Yum! I had the Lime & Lechee cocktail, my friends had sparkling wine & red wine. Everything was scrumptious! As always a fun place to go for fine cocktails & good grub!

I was in Bakersfield, which is a rare occurrence, and I stopped by to eat at this place. I love a…read moregood barbecue, but I had low expectations for this one. I guess because it's a sports bar restaurant, and it's in Bakersfield. I got the shock of my life. It turned out, this was the best barbecue food I ever had. Not only that, but it's very affordable. I would say a bargain. I didn't have to spend 100+ dollars for 2 persons, like a lot of so called high quality barbecue restaurants. The briskets and ribs were amazing. Delicious, flavorful, and melts in your mouth. Sides were also delicious. The service was good too. You just go up and get your order. It took a little time, but the staff is helpful and friendly. I'll be back here again, the next time I'm in Bakersfield. Maybe I'll visit the Buck Owen's museum. Bakersfield is truly the Texas of California, although I've only been to El Paso, Texas.

The service is terrific and they always greet you with a friendly smile. I personally enjoy the Texas burger combo. It's way better than the western burger you can get from chain fast food and the BLTA is also yummy. My daughter recommends the Philly cheesesteak as well. Also, there is a cash discount.

No one can make zucchini or mushrooms the way Jolly Kone on Bell Terrace and Wible Rd. did…read more With that being out the way this was my first time here. Customer service was really great. Prices are a little outrageous, I ordered mushrooms, zucchini and a avocado double bacon cheeseburger with fries and a drink, it came out to $42 rounding up. The establishment is really clean. Wouldn't recommend mushrooms but the zucchini is okay. Gave this place a 4 because the service is really great and the burger did smack. Also I love me a good frie and their fries are really good!

I had never tried an smashed burger before so therefore, my opinion may be lacking experience.

Also, they got my order wrong, but when I went up to tell them about the error, they were kind and fixed the mistake free of charge!! They didn't make me wait, I would recommend this business to anyone, will be definetly coming back.

The California Burger - First Time Visit…read more First time trying The California Burger and ordered it for pickup. Right off the bat, the staff was friendly, the place was clean, and the prices are very fair, which already puts it in good standing. I ordered the California Burger, which comes loaded with avocado, onions, pickles, shredded lettuce, onion, 2 little half slices of bacon though, tomato, cheese, and their house sauce. Big plus that the avocado was fresh! and they didn't skimp on it (thank you ), and I really liked the shredded lettuce instead of the usual sad leaf situation. The sauce deserves a shoutout too! it's genuinely tasty and ties everything together nicely. Overall, the flavors were pretty good. Now for the honest part: the patty itself was a bit dry, which is kind of a big deal when it's the main event. That said, the generous amount of sauce definitely helped counteract the dryness. And honestly, when you're starving, there's a moment where you just say "whatever" and keep eating--and I did . It wasn't horrible by any means, just not quite on the level of a couple other burger spots I usually go to. The patties are on the thinner side, but that seems to be the norm at most casual burger joints these days. This feels like an easy fix though, cook the patties a little less and this burger would level up fast! Would I swear off this place forever? No. But if I know there's a better burger option open, that's probably where I'll go first. That said, if it's a Sunday, I'm craving a burger, and all my usual spots are closed... yeah, I'd consider coming back. Maybe. Solid spot, good flavors, and a little tweak away from being even better.

My f*cking favorite burger spot…read more The monster burger is my order every time. I rave about this place to everyone I know, and encourage my people to stop here if they're taking a road trip to Vegas or LA from the bay. I finally tried the milkshakes this time around. The banana was ok, the pineapple was better. I like that it's not hella artificial. I love that they use real fruit bits. I'm not a huge fan of crinkle cut fries usually, but I like theirs. Why? Because they actually fry the fries to a crisp and then they're well seasoned. Yum. Every time I've come through, the girls working have always been really nice. Customer service is on point. I usually hit the drive thru and then park to eat. It's definitely a good place to people watch.. but I keep my doors locked lol. There's always a lot of movement on the street...

Hands down, it's the best Western barbecue sandwich I've ever had. The flavors are bold and perfectly balanced, the smoky barbecue sauce, melty cheese, and crispy onion rings come together in a way that just works. Every bite is rich, satisfying, and packed with that classic Western-style punch. The seasoned fries deserve their own shoutout too, crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and seasoned just right. They're the perfect side to an already knockout burger. If you're craving a true Western-style burger that delivers on flavor and quality, Shakes n Buns absolutely nails it. I'd go back for this sandwich alone without hesitation.

Overall it was a good experience- nice sized portions, we had to get boxes to take home leftovers (that's not a bad thing). Will come back.
