Great date night! Beautiful atmosphere, awesome staff, great drinks and delicious food! Sitting at the bar was so much fun. Our bartender was hilarious. We came early before our dinner reservation just to sit and enjoy time at the bar. Although I booked a reservation, it is not required. Inside the main dining hall is spacious and sooo pretty. I love the colors and decorations! Food was delicious! My only complaint is when it came to my cobb salad, which was huge, I only got a small container of ranch. Of course you can just ask and get more but I love my dressing and their ranch was BOMB! I had a taste of the prime rib which was delicious, needed a little salt but other than that, very good. I cant wait to return! read more

Went to Hungry Hunter for the first time, and went on my birthday! The waiter was so friendly and nice! There was a little bit of a wait time to get seated, but it was busy when we arrived. I didn't expect there to be such a large amount of people on a Tuesday, but this place is popular! My wife and I both loved the spinach artichoke dip. If I had to give it feedback, I'd say I would have liked it to have been a little thicker. The chips that came with it were to die for! The steaks were cooked to perfection! Wife had a med-well filet, which she said was very tender, and I had the rare ribeye with chimichurri. It was only a dollar more for the chimichurri, but unfortunately that chimichurri is what cost this review a star. It was blended into some kind of green sauce/goop. I'm not from Argentina, but even I felt like I needed to apologize to Argentina after seeing it haha. Oh, I forgot to mention the tableside salad is fun! They bring out a salad tray and prepare your salad tableside. I highly recommend it! All in all, I will come back! I wouldn't order the chimichurri next time, but would get the ribeye again and spinach artichoke dip again. read more

10 stars! Hands down - great customer service and amazing ribeye! I have been staying in Bakersfield for work and tonight, I ordered the ribeye. I ordered the ribeye, medium rare. It comes with either the option of soup or salad so I chose a salad. It also comes with two sides, and I chose the rice, pilaf and steamed vegetables. Madison took my order over the phone. She is very friendly, helpful, patient and told me the order would be ready in 20 minutes. I arrived at exactly 20 minutes and my order was ready. She brought the food out and quickly took my payment. Easy peasy transaction. The ribeye was perfectly grilled at medium rare. It is so tender, juicy and flavorful! Major kudos to the chef! The rice pilaf is to die for as well as the steamed vegetables. They went so well with the perfectly grilled ribeye. I definitely recommend, I will return and absolutely love my dinner! read more

Heidi Daniel's host from Michael David in Lodi. The brothers are the fifth generation to farm the land and make delicious wines. This is sustainable farming at its best. Their wines are Mostly Stainless steel fermented. Our Servers Kyle, Syaun & Seth were outstanding. The salmon confit was delicious but a tad too salty. The pork tenderloin with bacon jam was a big miss! The onions were just sweated with very minimal bacon. The polenta was thin & mushy sadly a disappointment. Usually the food is wonderful for these wine events. I don't know why things went awry today. But I have been to many of these events and will be back again. Everyone has the occasional hiccup. The wine was fantastic and Heidi was an entertaining and educational hostess for the winery. read more

We came to Hungry Hunter Steakhouse for Father's Day and had a great experience overall. Since we had a party of six, I called ahead to make a reservation, and the process was quick and easy. When we arrived, we were seated promptly, which was especially appreciated on such a busy holiday. I ordered the lamb chops, and they were absolutely delicious. The accompanying sauce complemented the meat perfectly and was easily my favorite part of the meal. One of the restaurant's signature touches is preparing the house salad tableside, which adds a nice, classic steakhouse feel. My only wish is that the salad portions were a little more generous, as the serving felt on the smaller side. We also ordered the calamari appetizer, which unfortunately was the biggest disappointment of the meal. It lacked the flavor and texture we were expecting. The staff was friendly, but the service was a bit slow throughout our visit. The restaurant is conveniently located in the Costco shopping center, so there's plenty of parking available. Just be prepared for some traffic getting in and out of the shopping center, especially during peak dining hours. read more

Came here recently after seeing their sign. Nostalgia beckons. I remember going to Hungry Hunter with the family when I was much younger. It was good food, food bread and I felt very grown up cutting into my own steak with the giant steak knife. Gone are the wagon wheels as decor these days and it felt much more upscale than what I remember. Wine list was quite respectable. Nothing exactly from the top shelf, but nothing from the bargain bin either. We opted for their "best in town" prime rib and they were flavorful and tender. Their table-side salad made me feel special. All the staff I encountered were all super friendly and very efficient. My water and beverage glasses were never dry. read more

This is the second time it's happened, I ask for House Cut 1-1/4 prime rib at medium-rare because I was told HH does not offer RARE. And I made it clear make sure it's NOT an end cut. Any chef would know an end cut cannot possibly be medium rare compared to a center cut. Twice it's happened, got an end cut that was well-done. I did take-out and did not want to make the drive back. But I have proof w pix. Manager(s) do better, train your cooks the difference in the cuts, it's not a rocket science. Not worth the 44.49 price. I am sooooo disappointed. Definitely earned the 1 star. 7/29/26 read more

The food was excellent and the customer service was fantastic. The restaurant was very clean and welcoming. The restaurant was very minimalistic and tastefully decorated. We had the pleasure of having Seth as our server. He was very attentive and often came back to check up on us to see if we needed anything. We ordered the shrimp cocktail, a cup of clam chowder, and a prime rib. Everything was delicious and the prime rib was cooked to a perfect medium rare. read more

Hungry Hunter Steakhouse - Prime rib - medium rare - Steakhouses Near Me - Bakersfield, California

We always dine here for their prime ribs whenever we're in the area. The prime ribs were juicy and tender, didn't come with huge chunks of fat like many other places. It's perfectly cooked to the temperature we asked for. It came with soup or salad plus two sides. We asked for baked potatoes and seasonal vegetables. The vegetables were fresh and tasty. Wine options were good too; always ended up picking something from the manager's list. Service had been great when we dined here. Highly recommended if you're a fan of prime ribs - no doubt it's the best in town (not just saying it). read more

Nice restaurant, would be good for a date. Staff were friendly and service was quick. The food was delicious. My favorite is the prime rib, so tender and flavorful I didn't really touch the horse radish and other dip. The fruity blended cocktail: kiss on the lips (kiss my lips?) was refreshing. The bread was fresh and hot and that honey butter was delicious! It was sweet so I didn't want it before my meal. The kids corndog was fine the fresh grapes were good, the whiskey peppercorn steak was good too. The soup du jour was a minestrone and it was flavorful. The seasonal vegetables were boiled and the zucchini skin was a little bitter. The fried onion strings and green beans were good. Recommended! read more

I continue to agree Hungry Hunter is a excellent restaurant and a great alternative to chain steakhouses. Approachable fine dining in Bakersfield. With really good service, a dining experience worthy for a special occasion and/or a good meal with family and friends. Most everything on the menu is done well. Sides are delicious and offer a good variety of options. Unfortunately, recent visits for their popular weekend Prime Rib Roast was delivered with a hint of disappointment. The quality of the beef was far below average. Even with rare cuts, the roast was tough and difficult to chew. Making our entire party wonder if their buyer suddenly decided to buy select to cost cut. read more

Hungry Hunter Steakhouse - Wheel of salad table side salad bar - Steakhouses Near Me - Bakersfield, California

We ordered take out . The lady taking our order would not let us add a plain chicken breast to our meal, we had to order an entire meal with sides. All we wanted was a chicken breast for our puppy. So we spent over $100 for our meal plus all these extra sides we couldn't and did not eat for a chicken breast. Just insane. Our steak was delicious. The side of beans and mixed veggies was good. The asparagus was way too tuff and salty. The bread was very good. The salad was good. The meatballs with whisky sauce was ok. The people were very friendly. Just wish it wasn't so expensive. Next time we are in Bakersfield probably try somewhere else. read more

It's been 30+ years since I was at a Hungry Hunter in the Bay Area. Pass this place over the years and decided to give them a try, as my granddaughter wanted a loaded baked potato. We were seated right away and really dug the steakhouse vibe. Ordered the... well, smoked Old Fashioned. Great presentation and very tasty! Got the early dining prime rib, with a loaded baked potato, fried green beans and spinach salad. While the prime rib could have been warmer, all was great. Server really bowed down to my needy granddaughter with lots of cherries and Shirley Temples. Will be back! read more

We came here while driving through town. After waiting for the hostess' to finish their conversation, we were sat in the bar so we could order off the Happy Hour menu. We were greeted by Eric our waiter. He took our drink order and our app order. Another person delivered the food. Eric was pushing the Caesar salad which I thought was odd. My husband ordered the table-side salad instead. Eric told us the table-side salad wasn't available until 6PM so my husband agreed to have the kitchen make the salad. No sooner did Eric put the salad down on our table, a different server brought out to his patrons the table-side salad. We saw him bring it out over and over again. He gave his patrons bread on every table. Eric didn't even offer us bread. The fact that Eric LIED to us on our first visit here, earns a one star. If he is lying to patrons, I wonder if he is lying and stealing from his employer? read more

We got a gift card for Christmas. The husband and I finally had a way overdue date night. We walked in on a Saturday evening, pretty busy, and we did not even have to wait more than 5 minutes to be seated. The girl that sat us was super friendly, our waiter was awesome, and the girl who brought our food was great and funny! I got the chicken breasts with mushroom sauce, baked potato, fried green beans and a salad. The hubs got a steak, onion rings, si gratin potatoes, and their clam chowder. We also tried their stuffed mushrooms for a starter and WOW, they were delicious. We love visiting locally owned businesses and we will be back. Thanks for the great service and food! read more

Not a great experience at all. The whole process took 2 hours with over an hour of it waiting for food.... They seemed to be busier than they could handle and the kitchen wasn't able to assist. I recommend not sitting on the patio or you will be forgotten. The waiter was very nice, but 15 minutes to get water, 45 for bread and over an hour plus for any food. We had to cancel our child's order and walk to Carl's Jr. to grab something because it took so long. Really wish I had something nice to say. Our friends got the prime rib and it was dry and tasteless not to mention like warm at best. I had the pecan chicken and had to scrape off the entire crust because it just didn't taste good at all. The food definitely did not match the price point at all. Also didn't understand the hype at all. Only one who was happy ordered the ribeye.... read more

We stopped by for lunch after getting gas from Costco. They had just opened, so we were seated right away. The hostess was friendly and the service throughout was great - our server was attentive and kept our waters topped off. My SO and I both ordered from the lunch menu. Prime Rib with salad, mashed potatoes, and au gratin. The sides were delicious - no complaints there! But the Prime Rib was a letdown - tough and lacking flavor. At over $30, we expected better. We ended up taking it home. Nice seating, good for groups, and plenty of parking. We'd come back for the sides and service - but probably skip the Prime Rib next time. read more

Check out their prime rib! Huge portions, decent price. Meat was well prepared, perfect medium rare and the sides were good too. Otherwise a nice and cozy location. You feel like you're in a nice little cabin that happens to be next to Costco with fast charging across the street! (Caveat*** you have to own an electric car to utilize the fast charging) You could also I guess leave your kids at John's Incredible pizza while you and your honey bunny cutie patootie go to flavor town read more

Went for our anniversary dinner. Asked for end cut prime rib. They checked and said yes they had an end cut. Salad arrived. Delicious. Plate arrived. Was not an end cut prime rib was a regular cut that was cooked again. Since it was 430pm, leftover from yesterday or the day before? Was not one drop of moisture in it. Possibly driest most tasteless $45 piece of meat I have ever eaten. Rib eye we ordered was very good. The most disappointing $120 dinner we ever had read more

This steakhouse left me full, satisfied, and happy. Service was stellar from start to finish. We were consistently attended to and our server did an excellent job timing the courses. Dishes arrived promptly one after another. I found the entrées and salads to be well-executed, while the drinks were a bit weak and the sides unfortunately underwhelming. I came here to celebrate my birthday and was pleasantly surprised with a complimentary slice of chocolate cake. Each entrée came with a choice of soup or salad and two sides. Even though we arrived shortly after opening, they had already run out of clam chowder. Bread: served warm with sweetened, whipped butter. Very reminiscent of the Cheesecake Factory's beloved brown bread. Equally fresh, warm, and delicious. Kiss On The Lips: a frozen slushie made with peach, vodka, mango, and grenadine. It tasted like a peach ring candy. The mango flavor was faint and the alcohol was barely noticeable. Mini Babas: my favorite bite of the night. Four perfectly cooked medium-rare lamb medallions with smoky seasoning and creamy ranch dressing. No gaminess at all and the meat was naturally sweet and incredibly tender. Tableside Salad: served on a chilled plate with a great variety of fresh toppings including croutons, cucumbers, tomatoes, shredded cheese, pepperoncinis, chickpeas, and sunflower seeds. It was crisp, acidic, and balanced. Prime Rib: served with au jus and horseradish on the side. Cooked to a perfect medium rare and was tender, juicy, and evenly cooked. The au jus added a touch of saltiness, though it could have had a deeper beef flavor. The horseradish was very strong, practically overpowering. I chose onion rings and sweet potato fries for sides, but both were limp and lacking flavor. Whiskey Peppercorn Sauce: rich, savory, and full of umami. It leaned more toward a mushroomy flavor than peppery but paired wonderfully with the meat. New York Strip: juicy, meaty, and seasoned well. Also cooked to a perfect medium rare. So flavorful that no additional sauce was needed. Hungry Hunter Steakhouse truly shines with its proteins. The lamb was one of the best dishes I've ever had and is a must-try starter. The bread and salads were tasty and fresh, but the sides felt like basic, frozen afterthoughts. Still, this is a great spot to celebrate special occasions thanks to the excellent entrees and attentive service. read more

We went to Hungry Hunters last Saturday to celebrate my sister's and sons' birthdays, and unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing. The service left a lot to be desired, and the food was not what we expected. I specifically ordered the appetizer sampler, which features some of their favorites. The fried calamari was soggy, the stuffed mushrooms were extremely salty and surprisingly tiny, and the potato skins were just okay and arrived cold. Most of our party ordered steaks and specified exactly how they wanted them cooked. When the steaks arrived, however, they were brought to the wrong people, which was extremely frustrating. We hadn't been to Hungry Hunters in a long time, and after this visit, we unfortunately understand why. There was nothing particularly memorable or special about the experience. We were celebrating a special occasion, so we really hoped for better food and service. Overall, we left very disappointed and don't feel the experience was worth the price. read more

One of the worst experiences ever. We went here for my son's birthday and everything was horrible; from the food to the drinks. The food took for ever and the drinks took for ever to get, including water. Then the orders were wrong. Additionally, Old Fashioned from the bar was one of the worst I've had too and it was $15. It was a Sunday and it was not even that busy. This is the last time we will come back. read more

Great 1st time Happy Hour experience. Quiet bar where you can talk to your table mates. Friendly service from the staff. Good portions and excellent prices for happy hour. We had the calamari friti. Nice delicate meat with a crispy coating served with fried onions and bell peppers. Very tasty. Also had the crab stuffed mushrooms topped with cheese. Ended with the Hunter wings cooked crispy then drizzled with a slightly sweet pepper sauce. Dug in and finished before I thought to take a pic. We enjoyed everything and we will be returning. Love having a locally owned place to add to our nights out rotation. Probably checking out dinner next time as we haven't been for a few years. read more

Interesting place, packed on a Tuesday night. Got there at 6 pm and got table within 10 minutes. The drinks were great. Ordered lamb chops called babas as appetizer, these were decent. Ordered 20 oz prime rib and asked if they can sear it as I like that flavor, these waitress said yes and it would happen on the grill. It was done in a pan and was nasty, not sure what they did to it. My wife got the Chateau filet, medium. It came rare, mashed potatoes cold and the plate disgusting! With that said, the place was packed, so maybe it was just us having a negative food experience. read more

We were in the middle of moving my mom from Las Vegas to Roseville, and Bakersfield ended up being our halfway stop for the night. After a long day on the road, a good steak sounded perfect, so we decided to try Hungry Hunter. They told us it would be a 10-15 minute wait, so I grabbed a drink at the bar and some water for my girlfriend. By the time I walked back--maybe five minutes--they were already ready to seat us. Great start. We ordered steaks with asparagus, and the food absolutely hit the spot. Tender, flavorful, cooked exactly right. But what really made the night memorable was our server, Angelis. She was an absolute pleasure--warm, upbeat, and genuinely positive in a way that lifted the whole experience. After a long day of driving, her energy made dinner feel like a treat instead of just a pit stop. Great food, great service, and a huge thank‑you to Angelis for making our night fabulous. read more
