    Ground beef taco and fries.

    The tacos are absolutely delicious and a must try! Also the fries are always cooked perfectly.

    I was at the mall and was craving a burger. I googled and yelped some places in the area. I found this Jolly Kone, and it has good reviews. When I pulled up, It didn't look like it was open. I drove up to the drive-thru window and guess the owner was there. I ordered a cheeseburger and small fries which came up to $6.38. I had my own water. Man that was a great deal. I got my food and the small bag was filled halfway. It had my burger and small fries with extra fries on top! Score. The food was fresh. The burger was fire and the fries were hot and perfectly seasoned with seasoning salt. This is an excellent deal for burgers and fries in town! I will be returning.

    Across from Bob's bait bucket is the best Pastrami in Bakersfield!

    Jolly Kone, across the street from Bob's Bait bucket does not disappoint. Nice girl at the counter, and hits the right kind of Bakersfield springtime feeling that I love. The pastrami is the best in town. Excellent cheeseburger too! Delicious 20 oz strawberry milkshake, for 2.80, it must be real ice cream! I'll be returning to support local business, instead of going to the habit! Ooh also great crinkle cut fries, seasoned just right!

    Run down on the out side but food is fantastic

This time around, I decided to try out the fish sandwich and my daughter wanted the club sandwich. She absolutely loved her sandwich which is great because as I mentioned...super picky kid. Me on the other hand, not impressed at all with the fish sandwich. First impression was it did look super fresh. The lettuce looked crisp and fresh and the fish was poking out of the sandwich which means good portions. But the fish was a bit dark, suggesting either old or dirty grease or cooked too long? Either way it was bland. I ended up having to douse it with a mixture of tarter, malt vinegar, ketchup and Tabasco sauce. I feel as though since this is a fish restaurant that is from the coast, the fish should be their best dish. But this is twice now that it has failed to impress me.

    Okay! why does free lunch hit different every single time?!…read moreI attended a professional development training and they surprised us with these lunch boxes! Yay! Tell me why I was immediately in love. The moment I opened it, I was greeted with a thick, generously stacked turkey sandwich that looked like it meant business. We're talking layers on layers of tender, juicy turkey, piled high with that crisp, freshly shredded lettuce that gives the perfect crunch in every bite. Even writing about it makes my mouth water all over again! The bread? Soft, fresh, and just the right amount of pillowy to hold it all together without falling apart. As if the sandwich wasn't already the star of the show, the box came fully loaded with a chocolate chip cookie,, a bag of chips for that salty crunch moment, and a little sampler of macaroni salad that was slathered in Italian dressing. So tasty! Honestly? Mouthwatering from start to finish. Whoever put these boxes together understood the assignment! (Haha) This is definitely a must try when hungry!

Since finding out about this location, we have visited this place a few times now. I really love the old school feel to this sandwich spot. You can either dine in or order your sandwich to go. Caesar's is hit and miss for me. Once in a great while it's one of the best sandwiches I've had and sometimes it's just okay. One thing I do know for sure is that I keep coming back because they have "that" clam chowder. My only complaint is that they are pricey and you can get a superior sandwich from other places. Parking is a little bit crazy during lunch time. Staff is always super nice here and the lines go pretty quick. I don't know if they have more than the 2 locations I know of. This location is not as fancy as the one on Brimhall, but their sandwiches are just as good.
