This place was quite the pleasant surprise. My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our meals and had a good, hospitable experience. The place is more on the dim side, but it worked well with the overall theme of the restaurant. The service was nice and everything came at a timely manner. We would definitely recommend others to come and try it out. read more

Mossman's Westchester Restaurant - The Strike Sandwich - Fish & Chips Near Me - Bakersfield, California

When they were located on Oak Street at the bowling alley I occasionally for some fish and chips I liked it I like the waitresses and the vibe. Then I went to the one Buena Vista where they took over the old broken yolk building and I couldn't get them to pay attention to what I wanted to save my life. The waitress would look right at me nod her head like she understood and then do anything that they wanted to do that had nothing to do with that what I wanted to do. When the food finally arrived all at once and plopped down on my table after being ignored of what I wanted the entire time, I just got up from the table went over to the checkout counter without touching anything to pay for my meal before I left forever. I'm done I don't go out to eat to fight with the frickin wait staff. read more

This place is a staple of our town, hands down one of the best fish n chips in Bakersfield Ca. Amazing crunch to the fish, fires and Cole slaw on the side make this a perfect dish. Service with a smile and the place takes you back to when you were a kid bowling with your family and ordering a couple fish n chips and we all share it while bowling. Love the place. read more

I know this place is considered a staple, but I personally think it's overhyped. The decor and style of this particular location is very dated. The building itself is old too. The bowling alley section has been walled off, and though they kept the rear entrance, it's like a liminal space... We came in for the fish and chips and I didn't care much for them. Fish was very salty and run of the mill fries. The coleslaw and hot biscuit that came with the order were both really good, though. However, for the price, I'd expect way better service, product and quality. read more

Located in the old bowling alley, you can see some of Bakersfield's history when you dine here. The service was quick and friendly, the food came out shortly after ordering! and the ambiance of the place is quite relaxing and feels like a classic diner with a bit of Baki's history around you! The chicken fried steak was cooked pretty well, i do wish the outside was a bit crispier but the gravy was fantastic and the overall dish tasted good and filled me up. Eggs are made to order and this dish comes with hash browns and toast or biscuit and gravy! read more

Mossman's Westchester Restaurant - Chicken fried steak - Fish & Chips Near Me - Bakersfield, California

After our grandson's baseball game, we stopped in for some fish and chips, and they definitely hit the spot! The fish was hot, crispy, and perfectly cooked, with generous portions of golden crinkle-cut fries and fresh coleslaw on the side. Everything tasted fresh and came out quickly. What really stood out was the service. The young lady helping us was incredibly friendly, attentive, and even brought us an extra glass of iced tea to take with us when we left. It's those little touches that make a place memorable. If you're looking for great fish and chips, generous portions, and outstanding customer service, this place is well worth the stop. We'll definitely be back! read more

You have to be kidding they're charging 25$ for fish and chips! You're in Bakersfield at a bowling alley, not on the coast with fresh fish and a view. I hope their prices send them out of business. What a joke! read more

1/24/2025: After taking care of some business in the Kern River Valley, hubby decided to drive home through Bakersfield specifically to stop at Mossman's for dinner! The almost-birthday boy wanted fish & chips.. and where else would you go to satisfy that craving? This old school diner outlived the attached bowling alley, and that really says something! Super clean, simple decor and they seem to know everyone's name. What a joy to watch them interacting with all of their regulars! Service was excellent as always, our server was even sweet enough to bring a sample of their house "budget" salad that's often a side to their famous golden fish chunks.. and I just might have to order that on our next visit! They were very busy in the dining room, at the old fashioned counter; in the private party room as well as with drive-up take-out orders. Yes - if you phone in your order and drive up to the front door, they will run your order out to you like a car hop service! Make sure you tip these hard working folks well when they hand you your bag of deliciousness! Once again we enjoyed our meal but weren't able to have dessert afterwards because the portions are just SO generous. They have fresh made cobblers and Texas sheet cakes for dessert for those who do have room. I did order a dozen of those excellent rolls to take home and enjoy. Oh, heavenly carbs! We are in Los Angeles, but I haven't found another place that has better Fish & Chips.. and what a bargain! read more

Still good as ever. It's no surprise that they've lasted so long. The service is great. Our server was so kind and patient especially with my kids. Once again we ordered the fish and chips and bacon burger and it was so good! But also ordered their Delicious strawberry cobbler and their sheet bread! If you like chocolate then you'll love that sheet cake! But my favorite was definitely the cobbler so sweet and delicious! read more

I ordered the Fish and Chips, Chicken Fried Steak and a Chocolate Shake through Door Dash. Fees and Tip Aside, the total was $60. The Fish was fine, but NO WAY was it a $25 plate of fish!! The Steak was a decent portion, but really tough. The flavor was average. The "Poor Man's Salad" is like a Mini Chef Salad, so that was cool. The biscuits were good. And, Yeah, we're ALL feeling the effects of this economy and Inflation, but I have NEVER seen a restaurant take More Blatant Advantage of customers at a time when so many people are Struggling!! The $10 shake (ice cream and Milk!!!???) I got was MAYBE 16 oz...Possibly 12 oz., and there was chocolate syrup all over the insides of the Clear cup. Not to mention that they tied it up in a bag with HOT FOOD, so it wasn't so much a SHAKE when I got it. And the flavor was...eh. I just bought a GALLON of chocolate ice cream from WalMart for about $7. I have made 3 LARGE (Approx. 32 Oz. That includes the milk!!) Shakes (Yummy ones, too!!) and still have 1/2 a Gallon Left!! The fact that they have the NERVE to charge $9.35 for that Pathetic excuse for a Shake, just leaves a Bad Taste in my mouth!! Do Better Mossman's!! Nostalgia will only keep people coming back for So Long! Re-Evaluate some of your pricing!! I CAN Afford it, but WILL NOT Go Back on Principle Alone!! read more

Read the quaint story on the menu if you like but do not buy into the bullshit about freshness and all that. I was here mid day on the weekend and ordered the fish n chips with a salad. The food comes with a roll, this one was dry around the edges, had not been fresh for a while. Same with the salad, it was a sad excuse of a bag salad, probably from Smart n Final from the week before. There were places on the edges of the lettuce that were turning pink. It consisted of cheap ass stale lettuce and some grated carrot, that is it. The fish was OK as were the fries, that is the reason this review is not one star. Service was OK, but honestly who cares if the food is not fresh? It will be a long time before I return to this spot. read more

At first glance, this is an older establishment that has the small town ambiance feeling, and if you want to smell like the restaurant this is the place to go. The service was great and welcoming from all the workers which was nice. As for the food, I got the fish n chips and chicken tenders which came with fries but also a bread roll as a starter! The portion was pretty decent with good fries and good chicken tenders, but the fish n chips fell short for me :(. I was expecting a nice crispy crunch from the batter but it was chewy and did not deliver. I'm not sayin they were undercooked but I feel like I could've had a better bite. Overall: I would have to comeback and give a second chance in the future, coming from my mom she says she has had better fish n chips here but maybe this time they weren't that great. read more

This "Bakersfield Staple" has been around for years. And I mean years! Rick Mossman and I go waaaay back! Go ole Cymric days (which no longer exists)... That's how far back we go! Doing business with Rick Mossman is always a unique, exciting experience. Whether it is hiring his incredible team to cater (as I did "back-in-the-day" out in Cymric, CA) or enjoying his signature fish n' chips at his restaurant, you just cannot find a cleaner, friendlier, TRULY handicap accessible, yummier cafe-restaurant in town (in my humble opinion). Where else can you go to eat where everyone knows your name? Where the elderly, as well as young, can sit down at 'dinner-like' sized tables (the kind we used to eat at at supper time) and enjoy delicious, over-the-top Grandpa Mossman's secret pancake recipe? Our family's fave! Ohh so delicious. The best there is! Rick's dedication to serving up excellent food is legendary...just as is his dedication to his employees...most ALL of whom have been employed by Rick for many, many years. That's why "everyone knows your name!" Because of the stability in his workplace for his long-time employees, the consistency of quality of food that is produced from his kitchens, and the good ole "down home" welcome atmosphere. Rick never misses an opportunity to say "Hi!" to everyone - regardless of how busy he is. And that man is the epitome of the word busy!! Whew! We feel not only lucky that Mossman's is still in Bakersfield serving delicious food, but BLESSED by Rick's unwavering dedication to quality - in everything he think, says, and does. God bless you Rick Mossman for continuing to strive to give your customers the very best...that any cafe-restaurant-catering could ever hope to give. You continue to set the bar very very high. Good for you! And to say the least - GREAT for Bakersfield. Mossman's Cafe-Restaurant and Catering...a NAME you can truly rely on and TRUST. read more

I bought fish and chips and the fish was so tough could not bite through. I called them 20 minutes after picking up order when I ate the first bite and was told cuz I ate it too late and they didn't want to replace the order or refund me. the staff was very rude about it . Been going there for years always called in for pick up and never had a problem. Even when we got it for catering at work we didn't eat it right away and it was never a problem. The staff didn't care to accommodate me in any form. read more

Came with the family and we ordered three orders of fish n chips. We usually love it here, imo it's better than the coast. Well, this visit was a total miss. The fish was soft and watery inside on all three orders. The bread was different also. It was a total disappointment maybe the new shop off Buena Vista will be a better experience. read more

The best fish and chips in Bakersfield. Their menu suits everybody's needs, and they provide daily specials to.

Awesome food, great service. The fish and chips and onion rings were soooooo good. It was our first time but definitely will be back.

HORRIBLE THEY GAVE ME 2 pieces of fish and Omelette didn't have no cheese inside. The best thing was the toast.

As a good Catholic I had fish this Friday and remembered that they had fish and chips here. I ordered over the phone and it was ready in minutes. Got it home and wow was I amazed still hot and delicious. The fish nuggets were so flavorful and the coleslaw was tangy and delicious. Fries perfectly done and the tartar sauce was a great dipping sauce. read more

Mossman's Westchester Restaurant - So good it's gone! - Fish & Chips Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Mossmans Cafe is located inside the old bowling alley on 30th Street with another location on Wible Rd. It's been a Bakersfield staple since 1959 and has a great reputation for its fish and chips and that reputation is well deserved. Your not going to get a simple skimpy order of fish, you're going to get nice fat pieces that your fingers and mouth are going to enjoy. They have a classic diner menu with prices that aren't going to rob your pocket book. If you're into fancy place settings and decor this isn't the place for you but if you like food that sticks to your ribs, food that makes your eyes bulge wide open from seeing the heaping serving of food that you're not use to getting at restaurants anymore and even lick the goodness off your fingers, then this is the place for you. read more

I just picked up fish and chips from mossman's it was more batter than fish, and too much salt in the batter. Not returning this year or next. read more

No knife. No salt. No pepper. Not necessary. I had the sliced TRI Tip, mashed potatoes with gravy and peas with carrots. But the meal started with clam chowder, crackers, dinner roll and butter. Best clam chowder I have had in years. With butter on the roll, dipping it into the soup was great. I mixed the mashed potatoes with the peas and carrots thinking the vegetable would be mushy. It was not. The peas still had that crisp pop when I bit into them and the carrots were firm. The mashed potatoes with gravy was the bomb and I kept going back and forth between the taters and TRI Tip. I do have to say the meat was a little more done than I prefer, but it did not take away from the flavor or tenderness. All in all a great meal. My server was a sweetheart, her name is Becky. She continually checked to make sure everything was going good. All of the food and great service was only $19.14. Great prices to boot. read more

Old bowling alley building. Sat outside which was nice. Food was really good. Ordered the Original French Dip sandwich with fries. Fries were thick crinkle fries, flavorful & cooked perfect for my liking. Meat on sandwich was tender & tasty. Pyrenees roll was crispy on the inside, soft on the outside. Au jus was flavorful. Honestly, this was the best French Dip I have had so far. Waitress was really busy but nice & helpful. Will be back to try the fish & chips! read more

This place reminds me of Lorene's Downtown Bland food JUST AWFULLY BLAND. No flavor in country fried steak. Mashed potatoes where good and so was gravy but their white gravy really sucked. It was just white sauce without flavor. Potato soup wasn't bad but only because it got most of its flavor from the excessive amount of bacon they put in it. Chicken fried sandwich was just a fried piece of chicken breast with no salt or pepper and definitely no flavor. Fruit was okay with some tajin. The picke was dull. The club sandwich was okay but a lil too much mayo. Potato salad was a pickle flavor. Fish n chips was way too salty and drenched in oil and Tarter sauce was Bland. I can't say I'm mad at the cook beans he's just doing his job, it's the people who have instructed him to cook such things in that way that are getting this review. read more

Had dinner at the only place in Bakersfield that I will eat Fish! The service was the usual top rate. I can't remember the server's name but she had dark hair with blonde accent.
