10 out of 10 for our local favorite Locale Farm to Table Eatery for their quick response to our Bakersfield community. This local gem has been serving our community for more than 11 years. Due the traumatic and unfortunate events of yesterday, our local community has been shaken up. Locale's response to its community is nothing short of outstanding. We appreciate your help and generous response to affected residents. I was grateful to see FBI agents at the restaurant. I was able to thank them for their courage and service in bringing the situation to a resolution. Grateful to have a safe space to work and enjoy a complimentary meal. The food was great and the service was impeccable. The empathy from staff is truly commendable. I appreciate the staff and proprietors of Locale Farm to Table.
Delicious organic lunch! Such a cute cafe! I recently had lunch here and loved the Chicken Aioli on sourdough (a great backup since they were out of ciabatta). The "Locale Wedge" salad was excellent, and the sweet potato fries were perfect--crunchy on the outside, tender on the inside. To top it off, the staff members were so kind; they made sure our table was spotless and kept refilling our cups with fresh iced water with a hint of lemon and rosemary. Highly recommend checking this place out!
I've been here 4 times now and am always impressed with the unique delicious food! Everything is so fresh and carefully crafted.The staff are all so friendly taking time to explain the menu. It's a comfortable seating arrangement and the ambiance is simple and clean. We will definitely return again, it's our go to place for sure!
Amazing food! You can taste the difference with fresh ingredients and not fresh ingredients. The onion rings were delicious and weren't greasy at all. Both sandwiches were great. There's many things on the menu I'd love to try and will definitely be back for the quick service and calm atmosphere.
My niece and I came in just after the lunch rush- our server Dakota, was on it- you could tell the rush had just left- still, we were greeted with a smile and professionalism. He was still enthusiastic. The front dining area was bright and clean with a small section showcasing local goods. There are tables outside all under covering. We were brought a whipped feta and honey app and it was delicious. I appreciate the restaurant supporting local small business. 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.
We ate here on our way to Three Rivers and on the way back. Food is very flavorful and fresh, and delivers on the promise of a farm to table menu. The owner is lovely and so is the staff. This place is a gem.
Oh how I wish we had more restaurants like this in Bakersfield! There is not one thing on the menu I wouldn't eat and enjoy!
Small place I like has outdoor patio tables, place located next to a flower shop. I can imagine during week parking can get a bit difficult to get, I came on a Saturday. Service great and friendly. Food is very tasty the chicken moist and had lots flavor. This is not a budget $$$$ friendly place. I spent over $45 on a sandwich & salad. Salad + extra chicken cost an additional $3 & it was not a half chicken serving very disappointing. For price salad I thought was going to a big portion since over $15+ salad. Overall food is good just expensive and small portions.
The food here is delicious! We went for dinner on a Friday evening and we were able to choose our table right away. Our group ordered the salmon dinner, chicken and waffles and the chicken marsala. All 3 plates were delicious! I appreciate that the servings are just right. I didn't feel full, definitely satisfied. The fish was soft and the mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts were a great addition. Chicken and waffles, it seemed as if the waffles melted in my mouth. All of the food tasted fresh and made with love. The restaurant is clean and has a calming vibe. Our server was nice too!
We finally tried this place after driving past it for years. Lol. Cute downtown spot with an artsy, modern vibe. When we walked in we were greeted right away and told to sit wherever we wanted. It was pretty empty but got busier as lunch went on. About 8 minutes after we sat down, Karina (our waitress) came over. She was very friendly and brought us some rosemary lemon waters and a complimentary appetizer of butter-toasted sourdough with an onion garlic spread. I enjoyed it a lot and it was definitely a nice little touch. For the first 10 minutes though we were wondering where the menus were until we realized you have to scan the QR code on the little card that sits on the table to look at the menu! Ha, It would've been nice to have that mentioned when we sat down, but once we figured it out, it was easy. The place is pretty chill. Good verity of music playing. Atmosphere felt lively, lots of chatter as background noise, large windows that let in a lot of natural sun light so it feels open and inviting. They also brought out a free sample of their strawberry fresca, which was super fresh and refreshing. Not too sour nor sweet. We both ordered the Western burger with onion rings and sweet potato fries. Also had to get me one of those fresca's and my hubby got a coke. 25 minutes later our food arrived, and man did it look phenomenal! The burgers are stacked high, patties were thick, juicy and cheesy. The buns all glistening, and it was super saucy, just beautiful and well presented. Lol. Fries and onion rings come in cute little baskets and pots too. The beef tasted so clean and buttery! Completely melt-in-your-mouth awesomeness. Very gourmet and high quality. The bacon was perfectly cooked with very little fat and had such a rich, clean flavor and was just really done well. Quality top notch for sure. The onion rings were unlike any I've had before. They weren't super crispy, more soft and tender, but the flavor was so good it didn't even matter. They were huge and the batter was savory and seasoned well. The texture kind of reminded me of a funnel cake, soft with a little crisp.. very different from your typical onion ring. Their chipotle aioli ranch paired perfectly with them too. (My left over onion rings reheated to crispy perfection in the air fryer the next day!) The sweet potato fries were also really good and had sauce drizzled over the top. My husband mentioned it would've been nice to have some extra sauce on the side for dipping, though. Paid about 68 in total with tip. Not bad. Overall, we really enjoyed everything and are looking forward to coming back.
We absolutely loved the food here! Everything was excellent. Food, interior decor and service were excellent! We ordered the Tri Tip melt and the Brussel sprout and sweet potato bowl and both were absolutely delicious. We also were offered a complementary bread with a hot honey/cheese dip which was amazing! Definitely would recommend this place!
This is the SPOT TO BE ! We enjoyed the live music that was provided today by the owner . Heather does an amazing job with her fun events and I'm a huge fan of how she uses mom and pop shops within her restaurant. This has become our favorite go to eating place .
Dakota was the total highlight of this place! Great service and conversation. Got the Sweet Potatoes Brussels Sprout Bowl and added tri tip - huge and filling. Started off with a complimentary 3 cheese with hot honey and ciabatta app. Impossible to leave hungry after all of that. To drink I got the watermelon Fresca, which was not my favorite - too sweet for my taste. But the place is super cute and uses local ingredients. I was told that the owner really gives back to the community. After a local hardship, the owner gave free lunch to those affected. This is definitely a place I want to support!

A Delicious Thank You to Teachers! What an incredibly thoughtful way to give back to the community! One of our teachers at school entered a drawing for a free catered lunch from Locale Farm to Table, and we were so lucky to win! The drawing was the owner Heather's way of giving back and showing her appreciation for teachers. She was especially touched by our teacher's story, which made the win feel even more meaningful. Many of us who work at the school already dine at Locale and absolutely love the food, so we knew we were in for a treat. Heather brought some of their most popular dishes, including a hot honey goat cheese spread with Pyrenees bread, roasted butternut squash and Brussels sprouts, a fresh garden salad, and a chocolate and strawberry pastry for dessert. Everything was absolutely delicious! What really stood out, though, was how much thought Heather put into making sure everyone could enjoy the meal. She heard that we had some vegetarians among us and went above and beyond by preparing additional dishes without bacon so everyone had plenty to eat. That extra touch meant so much and really showed how genuinely caring and thoughtful she is. Having this incredible meal right before the first day of school was such a special treat. Teachers and school staff work incredibly hard, and feeling appreciated in such a generous way was truly wonderful. Thank you, Heather, for your generosity, kindness, and for supporting our school community! We are so grateful, and, of course, already looking forward to our next visit to Locale! read more

My mom mentioned how good this place was. She's been here a few times with her coworkers. First off, ambience was nice, nice air conditioning because it was 103°F outside Bathroom was clean, only complaint was they were out of soap, so i substituted using hand sanitizer. Service was excellent, Dakota was such a nice waiter. Food came out fairly quick and they didn't mind that we moved tables. Food tasted AMAZING. I got the Cowboy BBQ salad with fries. I also got the apple juice to drink which was nice and cold. I got an Arnold Palmer with watermelon Fresca and it was good too. Prices were pretty good, seeing it's a farm to table eatery in this economy. They were also very kind about our dietary restrictions. I have celiac disease and my sister is dairy free, so she substituted a few things on her burger. We inhaled our dinner, it was soooo yummy Seriously tho, Dakota was the best waiter, give him a raise or som read more

I came here trying to currently support only local businesses here in Bakersfield in 2026 and showed up here on a recommendation from Howie's Micheladas--another amazing local business we should all support--and Locale absolutely delivered! The food was incredible, everything we ordered based upon Jasmine the waitress' recommendations rocked!!!! The Western Burger was the burger was cooked rare to my liking the onion rings were big And flavorful by themselves,the cheese was absolutely some of sharpest Cheddar I've had at a restaurant, overall, one of the best burgers I've had in the valley, and paired perfectly with the sweet potato fries, which were very good but a little soft for my liking maybe next time I'll ask for them a little crispier. We also tried the loaded tuna croissant and the pastrami ,salad combo which my wife raved about both stating that the dehydrated brussel sprouts in the salad was something she wanted me to prepare at home for her my daughter liked the tuna salad but decided to take out some of the Cranberries which she said were absolutely fresh as they were very tart, both entrees were extremely tasty and prepared with super fresh ingredients. Lastly, shout out to Jasmine, shes an absolute gem of a person. Even though the restaurant was busy inside, she was incredibly attentive, professional, and had the warmest attitude. She nailed the suggestions made sure absolutely everything came out perfectly without missing a beat. this place has great vibes, great cooks who prepare great food, and great service. We will definitely be back! read more

Well done. Over achievers ! This place has mid century vibes. Excellent service. Amazing food ! You will feel welcomed like into someone's home. Food is perfection. The samples of juice, the complementary toast and pimento cheese started everything off! We had a burger with fries. And chicken and waffles. Guys, this was next level in flavor and care. Not ordinary food. Carefully chosen ingredients and amazing medley of tastes to what could have been ordinary. I can't wait to come back and try all the other items on the menu. read more
Farm-to-Table with Purpose | Bakersfield, CA Being a 10-time Stage 4 cancer survivor, I'm still learning and growing every day--especially when it comes to choosing clean, fresh, farm-to-table food over the poison. This is exactly why this place matters. I had the pleasure of trying the Sweet Potato & Brussels Sprouts paired with tri-tip, and it was absolutely amazing. You can truly taste the freshness in every bite--simple, real ingredients prepared with intention. This is farm-to-table done right: nourishing, flavorful, and deeply satisfying without trying too hard. Beyond the food, the experience is just as special. Heather and her team make you feel like family from the moment you arrive, and that kind of care shows up on the plate too. Already planning to come back for date night, and grateful to support a place that aligns with health, heart, and community. Excited to be a part of this journey we all get to call Life LIFE Live In Faith Everyday read more
I always seek out restaurants that serve organic and/or farm to table food when I travel and was excited to check out Locale. I ordered take out but would have been happy eating inside or outside if I'd had more time. They have a great menu and it's a cute little place. I had the Kale and apple salad and it hit the spot! I'd recommend the place if you're looking for good, locally sourced food. read more

I love sandwiches. Some may say I am a sandwich connoisseur and I was highly impressed with the freshness and flavor profile of our selections today. I had the turkey habanero. I was intrigued since outside of Thanksgiving, I rarely see a turkey with cream cheese available. This is usually an addition I make. It was a perfect pairing with their Stone Fruit Relish; I even grabbed a jar to go. If I came back again I'd get the tri-tip sandwich. I got to try a piece and was tempted to make a to-go order. The only thing stopping me was my waist line. Another in our party ordered the pastrami and she cleaned her plate. Service was great. Karina was attentive, answered all our questions, and had water with mint and lemon and an app ready for us pretty much as soon as we sat down. The venue is cute as well, with lovely murals on the outside and cute decor in. I even enjoyed the playlist. Im definitely coming again next time I'm in the area. Give it a try! read more
Stop here for lunch before heading back to Orange County. I was instantly greeted and told to sit anywhere. The atmosphere of the shop was cute, lively, and inviting. The workers were attentive and efficient. They provided a sample of the Juice of the Day and sourdough toast with cranberry butter (both delicious). I ended ordering the juice, fried mozzarella cheese, and the bacon and fig burger with French fried. Everything was delicious, and I would recommend to anyone coming to Bakersfield! read more

Made a quick trip off the 99 to find some dinner and SCORED! We had the Berry/Watermelon Fresca, Watermelon Carpaccio, Fig Burger with Sweet Potato Fries, and a Brownie Sundae. Once seated, the charming waitress brought out an appetizer of fresh sourdough slices with Honey Drizzled Goat Cheese and a sample of the Fresca. Everything was delish and we ordered a large Fresca to go with dinner. Then came the Watermelon Carpaccio, hands down the best watermelon dish we have ever had. Very sweet water melon thinly sliced and topped with olive oil , lemon, and chèvre. The burger and fries were perfect (great dipping sauce) and the sundae was delicious but not over the top goop - just right after an incredible meal. An easy going slightly funky interior and super friendly staff made it a wonderful surprise we can't wait I return to.--I copied this from my Google review, I am not a bot read more

I'm constantly impressed with the personal touches and service at Locale Farm to Table. My visit to pick up take out today was very special, once again. The servers recognized us and ran out to our car to see my friend and her baby. Special moments like these really mean a great deal! Thank you, Locale, for who you are and the community you've built!! read more
Went in for brunch, the menu is the same but they do serve some spritzers, so you know I was there. The best fresh squeezed juice in town! Whether you get it in the spritzer or not, it's worth! The sweet potato and Brussels sprout bowl, amazing! Avocado add on is a must, the egg is cooked perfectly to order. All the ingredients here are top tier and it really shows, the dishes are designed smartly and you can tell effort goes into the offerings. No espresso, sadly. But yes they have cold brew and french press coffee. Doesn't appear to be freshly ground that morning and consideration into procurement of a better quality coffee would yield a better outcome. I know, I know, it's from 502, but weird coffee people know what's up. The service is slow, seriously, don't bother trying to have a place to be when choosing this as your dining establishment. Knowing this, we made no plans, and took our time. But the service could be more attentive and frequent. I love the dining area and the have a back dining room that is very artsy. They have little offerings from local artisans, sage bundles, incense, etc. I think the outdoor area could use a little love. Tables are undersized, making the experience involve a lot of rearranging of plates. The chairs are tired and need replacing or repair, seriously the backs are so loose. I'd consider putting a hook or two on the support posts for people to hang their jacket, purse or bag. Is there value? At roughly 42.00/person for breakfast, coffee and a spritz, I think it's just "fine" and maybe improved service or some small improvements to the dining space would justify the price point. Really this is a 3.5ish for me. But giving 4, because of the great taste. read more
This is now one of my favorite spots in town. I like how they use good ingredients in their food! The food is well worth the price. We got the bacon and fig burger + sweet potato and brussel sprouts bowl. Both were delicious. I can't wait to come back to try other items on their menu. read more
We almost walked by because we thought it was closed but my friend and I tried the door and it was open. We were greeted by a kind hostess and sat down. She brought us some freshly baked sourdough with spiced butter. It was perfect. I got the Pecan crusted Salmon with mash and Brussel sprouts. My friend got the Caviar burger with onion straws. Everything was delicious. This place got packed while we waited for our food. Families, couples, and friends all came in for dinner. They have local items being sold on a large open cabinet. Each table is set with candles so it really sets a calm mood for dinner. We really enjoyed the food, the atmosphere and staff. I can't wait to come back. read more

Came here with the bestie before heading to the Old Dominion concert. This was our first time here and WOW. The food is absolutely delicious! She tried the salmon with these amazing Brussels sprouts from their dinner menu of the night (idk what sauce they were in but OH MY GOODNESS, some of the best Brussels sprouts I have ever tried!) I tried the Tri-tip melt from their regular menu and holy cow, that thing was bursting with flavor! We walked in and were seated right away, our server was super helpful and very nice. The vibe was nice and quiet, and even after it filled up (shortly after we came in) it was still easy to have a conversation. I will definitely be back! read more

To begin with, an endearing atmosphere, minimal but inviting. Our waitress was very nice. We were given a complimentary dish which was delicious. I had been meaning to come to Locale for ages but it's hours of operation did not mesh with my schedule. Until today, that is. I took my husband out to lunch on a whim and we were delighted by what we discovered here--rustic, unpretentious good food. The prices are reasonable and portions are decent for the prices. We cannot wait to return. read more
