The sandwich was small but it was so delicious, perfect amount of sauce to cabbage ratio. The batter had flavor and the fish was thick. The bun was soft and was sweat which made an excellent flavor experience. The burrito was shrimp and it was very underwhelming. The beans taste very straight out the can no flavor just beans. It didn't come with fries inside as stated in description. The pico was just tomato and onion which didn't work for the burrito. The rice has good texture and flavor. I was really hungry after a half of day of non stop selling. When I order from this place again I will just order fries and fiah sliders. Location only gets 4 because of the burrito.

Disappointing Customer Service Experience…read more I really wanted to give this Rubio's location on Rosedale Highway another chance. A few months ago, my wife and daughter visited this location and came home disappointed. They told me the service was poor and the food wasn't nearly as good as what we've experienced at Rubio's locations in Southern California. Since we've always enjoyed Rubio's in the past, I thought maybe they just caught them on a bad day. Recently, I saw an ad pop up on my phone for Rubio's and decided to give this Bakersfield location a try myself. I ordered two meals through the app and went inside to pick them up. When I walked in, I said hello to the cashier but didn't receive a greeting or acknowledgment. I explained that I was there to pick up an order for Charles. I was told it was coming right up. When the employee handed me the order, I said, "Thank you," but again received no acknowledgment, no "you're welcome," no "have a good evening," nothing. I hadn't even tried the food yet when writing this, so I'm not going to criticize the quality of the meal. This review is based on the customer-service experience. For me, customer service matters. A simple hello, thank you, or acknowledgment of a customer costs nothing, but it makes a big difference. What makes this more disappointing is that my wife and daughter had a very similar experience at this same location a few months ago. Based on the service alone, I would give this experience two stars or less. It's unfortunate because Rubio's used to be a place we associated with good food and good service. When members of the same family have poor experiences on two separate visits months apart, it starts to feel less like an isolated incident and more like something this location needs to address. I hope management takes a serious look at the customer-service side of the business because I would genuinely like to see this location improve.

Old-School Italian Comfort Food…read more Rosa's is the kind of place that feels like a true Bakersfield institution. Open since the '70s, this restaurant has been serving Italian comfort food to locals for decadea, and judging by how packed it was when we arrived at 5:00 p.m., people clearly still love it! The décor looks like it hasn't changed much since the restaurant first opened, but honestly, that's part of the charm. It's warm, cozy, and inviting, with individual booths in the main dining room and a back room that's perfect for larger parties. I ordered a glass of Sangiovese and the spinach manicotti, while my husband went with the house Chianti and chicken Parmesan. His chicken Parmesan was good, but my manicotti was definitely the winner of the night! You could immediately tell the manicotti was homemade. The pasta shells had that fresh, delicate texture you just don't get from the store bought kind. The filling was comforting, flavorful, and exactly what I was hoping for from an old-school Italian restaurant. I'll admit, I was definitely worried going into this place. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I left extremely impressed. Sometimes those are the best restaurant surprises The wait staff were another highlight. Everyone was incredibly friendly, attentive, and consistently checked in on us without being overbearing.

Three of us enjoyed: Chicken Artichoke Penne, Cannelloni, and a small Rosa's Special pizza. Everything arrived hot and delicious. While other establishments are raising prices somehow Rosa's offers amazing options at a reasonable price. 1/2 carafe of the Chianti in chilled glasses for $14 is a perfect example. Rosa's is such a cool neighborhood restaurant and it was fun seeing so many families enjoying a meal together.

Tonight I wanted to try their Caesar Wraps to kinda compare McDonald's Caesar Wraps. They have a box where I can get two halves of a Chicken Caesar Wrap, a side of fries, and a drink for only ten dollars. That's already a great start. We did wait a bit in the drive thru, but I can't complain they're doing their best especially when it's busy inside and out and they were closing in less than a hour. Unfortunately, I mainly just tasted tortilla with the wraps. I wish there was an extra Caesar dressing on the side with it or packed with more inside the wrap itself. Good experience though. I'll still be a customer for their burgers and chicken bites!

They only gave me one ketchup and a half-empty ranch, which just adds to the disappointment. The food was okay, but definitely not worth that price. You might not notice, but for just a little over $10 more, you could sit down and have a solid dinner at a steakhouse. Not worth it.

The service was horrible though... drinks and food took forever and the waitress hardly came by. The last drink took 15-20 min to arrive. We would have canceled but we never saw her so we got the bill right away. It was not busy. I got the garlic pasta and added salmon. I was expecting a filet but got chunks. I was a little disappointed but upon eating it... mannn was it good! I wana go back already! The salmon wasn't fishy or dry. It was prefect. Pasta el dente. The guac was ok. It was more like cubes of avocado and needed salt. I got the lavender spritz thing (I think that's what it was called) loved it. I got 3 haha. It's pretty much a lavender French 77 but with vodka.

The atmosphere is great, the food is always good, and we've consistently had great service. My wife usually gets one of their salads, and it's always fresh, well-made, and loaded with fresh ingredients. I'm usually going for the pizza, and they definitely don't skimp on the toppings! They're very generous, everything tastes fresh, and it's always been a solid meal. If you're on the east side of Bakersfield and looking for a good local spot with great food, good service, and a nice atmosphere, give Firehouse Grill a try. I think you'll be impressed!

There was no greeting at all. I waited at the pickup sign, and the interaction felt off. I gave him the name, and he went back to grab the order and set it on the back part of the counter, a little to the side, where it would have been behind the register. He started doing something on the register without any look or interaction at all, and then, while staring at the register, said that is it. Having a customer reach to your side of the counter is off-putting, as is having no real interaction. This was my first time here, and it was my first impression. I do not like to give bad ratings based on one experience, but there is definitely a disconnect between these employees and customer service. This is just an observation from someone who has worked in the field themselves.

The pizza is great if you can get it when it's hot…read more We ordered pizza for pickup, when I arrived only two guest dining-in eating pizza already. There were a few employees behind the counter, nobody came to the front to assist me. I have nerve damage in my lower extremities so standing for too long hurts. Not to mention, there's a sign on the counter that's says pizza that is done will be placed on the counter, and to have a seat if the pizza isn't there. So I sat. I'm sitting in the dinning area, table directly in front of the checkout counter, I'm facing the checkout counter. An employee even walked out right by me, made eye contact, checked out the salad bar and then went back to the kitchen without ever asking if I needed assistance or if anyone had helped me yet. A little time goes by, employees are walking around the kitchen where they can see me, nobody coming out to ask how they can help me or to take my order. Some other woman comes in and kitchen staff immediately come to the front counter to help her. I got up to get in line now that some customer service is being offered but a family rushed in the line ahead of me to order. So I'm just standing there, with our pizza done and ready getting cold sitting up on top of their oven, not out on the counter where the sign says pizza is placed when it's done. While I'm standing there waiting for the customer in front of me to finish ordering and paying, another employee comes out to the checkout counter, makes eye contact with me but turns his back and starts sorting ranch. He could have easily just grabbed our finished pizzas and breadsticks and brought it out to me since we had already paid online, or maybe even just asked, "how can I help you?" Any of the many times he made eye contact with me, but he didn't. I was completely ignored. It was finally my turn to get some help. I asked where the pizza is kept once it's finished, so the server pointed to the top of the oven where they pulled our pizza down from. The pizza wasn't even warm enough to feel heat coming from the boxes when they handed them to me. Why I had to wait for others to come in and kick the kitchen staff into customer- service mode is beyond me, unless their kitchen staff is all racist? What other reason could this behavior be? Staff should be rushing to the counter to help every customer the same. So tell me why I was ignored the way I was, yet the kitchen staff rushed in to provide service to other people before me as soon as they walked in? This pizza isn't good enough to be eating it cold and hard after being treated poorly by staff. Get rid of the sign instructing online orderers to have a seat and wait if you're not going to assist customers sitting in your dining room.
