    Menu displayed at their front window

    Ordered the family pack #5 clearly as seen on their menu outside the window. But the girl at the front window didn't have any idea what was going on. She charged me for 2 triple Texas burgers when I wanted the FAMILY PACK #5 which supposed to be 3 1/4 quarter pound burgers not the actually #5 burger. Don't come to this establishment. They don't pay attention and clearly have no fucking idea what menu items they are serving.

    The food was delicious! I had been going there for years. I had stopped going once they changed their name and stopped serving their delicious tacos. I decided to give them a try again and the burger and fries were good. My only complain was that I had ordered the burgers with cheese and they didn't come with it (we realized once we were done eating lol) but the food was so good, it didn't matter. The cashier girl was friendly and wasn't rude when I kept changing my mind which was a plus since I was indecisive. The place was updated from the lady time I had gone which was over 6 years ago. I just really wish they bring back the tacos!!!

    Curly fries, cheese sticks, shrimp, avocado cheeseburger, and salad.... lots of ranch

    Excellent food and service! A few days ago my cousin passed away unexpectedly, Z(owner) invited my aunt and family to eat at Pop's, the food is amazing, even after the dining room was closed, guests still were trying to come in, people ordered at the window and drive-thru. The employees were courteous and kind. Please come support this family owned restaurant. Huge THANK YOU Veronica & Family

    Was in the drive in burger mood! This spot looked the part, so off we drive to Pops on Taft hwy. Not gonna lie, wasn't too impressed on first sight. It was in a pretty ruff looking area. Walked in and dining area was empty so that's usually a bad sign. Looked at the menu and was impressed with all the options. I was sold on the pastrami combo and I upgraded to zucchini sticks and added an ordered of taquitos. My wife got the burger combo and my son the usual chicken strips. We had a little snafu as they forgot wifeys fries. She went to let them know and at first they acted like they didn't believe her- which would've been pretty bad review wise! But luckily someone else over heard and brought my wife her fries. Thank god! First bite on my pastrami was a game changer! So good! Lots of pickles and stuffed with thin sliced pastrami! The zucchini sticks were perfect- crispy and flavorful batter! The taquitos were bomb!! Crispy and a really good avocado salsa. Wife's burger was flavorful and her fries were well seasoned and crispy! This place is in my must visit category! Big tasty portions and very reasonable prices!

    Great food and service! Lots of specials. It does get a bit busy at times. The food is always fresh though.

    Double bacon cheeseburger, single cheeseburger, mushrooms, and chili cheese fries

    I haven't been here for years. The burger was insanely good. The chili fries were awesome. I just loved it here. Mushrooms are good. Root beer float.

My husband commented that it made him want to move to Bakersfield which made our server Emily laugh. Limited parking in back and some street parking. We walked in without a reservation at 11:15 on a Friday and were the first customers of the day. Great decor, dim lighting, vintage looking furniture which does not sacrifice comfort for artistry. Our cocktails and meals were spectacular: Botanist Fashioned: 5/5-the brown sugar cinnamon syrup added a spicy bite to each sip which was unexpected and fun. Watermelon Sugar High:4/5-refreshing with watermelon juice freshly made in house and an ice cube with mint frozen in it. Seared cauliflower: 4/5-great appetizer for 2. The crispy chicken sandwich and the Botanist smash burger:5/5-Both had super flavorful pickles and toasted buns which always add a lovely crunch to each bite. If you're ever in Bakersfield and are at least 21, this place is well worth it! We'll hopefully be back someday. Highly recommend!

There are a lot of tables and seating between the two rooms inside and the completely shaded outdoor patio, it doesn't look as big from the outside as it truly is. The decor is really nice and earthy with tons of real vine plants, a mix of fake, cute mirrors and wall decor, and cool basket lighting. We went at the tail-end of lunch, and it was busy, but there were still a few tables open (I recommend making reservations). I ordered a raspberry drop (not overly sweet so I loved it) and my son ordered a triple berry hibiscus refresher, it was so good! For lunch, he ordered the garlic+parmesan cream pasta with chicken and not only was it scrumptious, but he had enough leftovers for another meal! I had the fish tacos- they were excellent, the pickled onions on top *chef's kiss* made them superb. I would only recommend asking for the tortillas to be doubled because they fell apart. The I'll be returning for sure with friends, and a date night with my hubby.

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.
