My best friend from college and I came for dinner at the Rock Inn Restaurant on a Monday night, the…read moreDallas Cowboys were playing against the Las Vegas Raiders. We ordered from the special menu and the regular menu. Both special items were ordered, consisting of a delicious California Avocado and Swiss Cheese burger and French fries, and I ordered a large Taco Soup after asking for a tiny sample. It was a tasty soup, just like a deconstructed taco in a nicely flavored broth, with lots of sweet corn. On the regular dinner menu, I ordered the 50/50 pulled pork and beef steak sandwich. It was a very generously sized sandwich, it was made by the chef, Cat, he flavored the sandwich with a tangy and creative barbecue sauce. The waitress, Erika, was very nice, we had a good conversation, it was a rainy night and we were damp from the raindrops. Erika stoked the fire at the fireplace so that our clothes could dry off. She delivered our food promptly, and after we hung out catching up on things, I ordered a slice of the Fruit of the Forest rhubarb and raspberries pie, my classmate had a coffee. There may have been other berries in my pie, but I didn't ask about it, I just discerned the type of pie by its taste. We watched the football game, we were lucky to get the best table in the house, lol (the closest table which is situated next to the warm fireplace). It was a cozy evening, and we left right before it started raining cats and dogs. You can get to the Rock Inn via Santa Clarita by taking the San Francisquito Canyon Road, it's a scenic drive through the Angeles Forest and you pass through Lake Elizabeth and Lake Hughes before you get to the place. There's an unmarked parking lot to the side of the restaurant with an open garage structure, plus a parking lot directly across the street. It's a nice car ride if you want to have some scenery. From the north on the I-5 freeway, I took the State Route 14, then took a right on the Three Points Road to Pine Canyon Road to the Elizabeth Lake Road. If you like to have a nice meal in a historical building, the Rock Inn restaurant is a good place to start. The address of the restaurant is 17539 Elizabeth Lake Road, Lake Hughes, CA 93532-1008, if you need to use your GPS to get there. Remember to make a few stops to look at Lake Elizabeth, it's very scenic, either before or after your meal at the famous Rock Inn restaurant. You'll have an enjoyable experience and eat a nice meal.

The first time I had it it was so beautiful in its presentation and delicious. Sadly not this time. Dimas, our server was great, the food good, but I was so looking forward to the Bai Bun Tacos.

I will be going back for the fries and tacos.

We just recently had our pond built by Buck's. We were fortunate enough to have Nick and Armando…read moredoing the build and I cannot express how impressed I am with their workmanship and pride of craftsmanship! The pond took just over two weeks to build and was worth more than the price and the time. They delivered a pond that exceeded our expectations! I work from home and was able to watch them dig and then assemble the pond. Throughout the build I would watch the two of them stop and take 5, 10, 15 minutes just deciding the best placement and rotation for a single rock. Just trying to make sure that aesthetically the pond came out as we requested and also that the pond itself provided a safe and secure habitat for our future koi. It is so rare to find contractors who take such pride and time in what they do. Nick and Armando were everything I could have asked for in pond builders and I am grateful that they are who Buck's sent to do the job. We are thrilled and have been enjoying our pond since the moment it started running. I am looking forward to many years of its beauty! If you are looking for pond builders, I have to recommend Buck's and would also really recommend asking for Nick and Armando. Seriously, you won't regret it.

Nobody plans to spend an evening in Bakersfield. You pass through it on the way to somewhere else…read more-- Mammoth, the Sequoias, the long flat grind up the 99 to Sacramento -- and if you stop at all, it's for gas or a bathroom or because your BMW's brakes have decided, somewhere around the Grapevine, that they'd rather not. Thank you, Weatherford BMW of Berkeley, for the near-death experience and, inadvertently, for one of the best nights out I've had in years. Stranded and waiting on repairs, we checked into The Padre, the only hotel in Bakersfield that feels like someone with a subscription to Dwell had a hand in it, and set out walking through a downtown that time has treated with more kindness than reputation suggests. There's a Woolworth's luncheonette still hanging on. There are old brick facades and wide sidewalks and the particular quiet of a Central Valley evening when the heat finally breaks. And then, on 18th Street, there is Tiki-Ko, and suddenly you are no longer in Bakersfield at all. You are, instead, inside someone's magnificent obsession. Tiki-Ko is a proper tiki bar -- not a tiki-themed cocktail lounge, not a place that bought some bamboo at a craft store and called it atmosphere, but a genuine, committed, floor-to-ceiling shrine to mid-century Polynesian fantasy. The carvings are real. The lighting is correct -- which is to say, barely there. The mugs are serious. There are pufferfish lamps and carved totems and the whole glorious taxonomy of tiki ephemera, accented here and there with a skate-culture edge that keeps it from feeling like a museum. It's reverent without being precious. The drinks are the real thing. Mai Tais built with actual orgeat. Zombies that earn the name. The bartenders make them with the kind of care and enthusiasm that tells you this isn't a gig -- it's a calling. They want you to be here. They want to talk about rum. They want you to try the Painkiller. In a city that most Angelenos regard as a punch line, somebody built a world-class cocktail bar and filled it with joy, and the regulars clearly know it. You will not plan a trip to Bakersfield. But if you find yourself there -- by mechanical failure, by accident, by the peculiar mercy of a bad brake job -- walk downtown. Find the tiki bar. Order a second round. Stay longer than you intended. Bakersfield has been underestimated, and Tiki-Ko is the proof.

Haven't been in here for probably 15 years. It's changed- a bit. I love Tiki bars and I go to every…read moreTiki bar I can find. It's tiny- like a lot of tiki spots. Decor is nice. Little hidden gems. Lighting is dark with bits color and neon popping through. The Bar Top curves around the bar- there are two booths that seat 5-6 and two short tables next to them- one seats 4- the other will comfortably seat two. There are a few bench style seating areas at the front with some short coffee tables. Think- skater tiki bar. The drinks were good- small menu if you're not sure what you want or are new to tiki. Both sides of the menu are the same menu. There are some nice mocktail options as well- you don't see that often. The service for me is mixed- it wasn't busy- steady but not busy- 1/4 full. I ordered two drinks to start for our table- (no cocktail servers here/not unusual for a small Tiki bar) I asked for a soda water- the bartender looked at me without a word- popped open a can of soda water and walked away. When he walked back by, I asked for a glass of ice- he said nothing and I got an eye-roll huff. I almost left. I don't think providing a glass with ice to pour your canned room temp soda water in, is too wacky an idea to be perturbed by the request. The female who took the order was friendly, smiled and was professional. We got a third cocktail- the Mai Tai. The grumpy bartender was friendlier this time. So, that helped. Maybe he felt overwhelmed and I threw off his groove by asking for water- then a glass... either way- being annoyed wasn't cool. The music.... Wasn't Tiki- it threw off the "Tiki Vibe" and made it feel typical small local bar that serves only Tiki drinks with some Tiki decor. It didn't take you to the land of Tiki- disappointed. Drinks were good.
