Chili cheese fries - not good
John P.

Finally stopped. The king burger - really good. Looked like a house formed patty with some flavor from the flat top and fresh fixings. Tasted like a hamburger is supposed to taste. Definitely repeat. Chili cheese fries. I usually skip the fries but I'm a sucker for good chili cheese fries. The fries alone were fair. Neither the chili nor the 'cheese sauce' on top were tasty. I would skip the fries in the future and not order any chili topped item. Fountain drink was perfect, both taste and temperature. Order took between 5 minutes or so to prepare, a correct amount of time. I think the fries had been under the heat lamp, neither temperature nor texture indicated the fries were fresh out of the fryer. Will return for the burger and to try something else.

Solid crispy chicken sandwich and a cute spot to eat from! I love the walk-up window too.

I love their food, but the amount of salt that they put on should be illegal. You definitely need a napkin to wipe some of it off.

It's in the hood so you know it's good. Crinkled fries & bomb bacon cheeseburgers. It's hard to find a good burger joint. This one is it

I guess because it's a sports bar restaurant, and it's in Bakersfield. I got the shock of my life. It turned out, this was the best barbecue food I ever had. Not only that, but it's very affordable. I would say a bargain. I didn't have to spend 100+ dollars for 2 persons, like a lot of so called high quality barbecue restaurants. The briskets and ribs were amazing. Delicious, flavorful, and melts in your mouth. Sides were also delicious. The service was good too. You just go up and get your order. It took a little time, but the staff is helpful and friendly. I'll be back here again, the next time I'm in Bakersfield. Maybe I'll visit the Buck Owen's museum. Bakersfield is truly the Texas of California, although I've only been to El Paso, Texas.

It's a matchup that just can't get much better. I also feel safe parking a car here and not getting it broken into. Even so, I bring my backpack with my work laptops inside. The menu has my kids happy, there's a good variety for the adults. Not really into drinking on a road trip, but as bars go, looks like a great place to watch the game with your crew! The service is prompt, order at the counter and find a seat. It's nothing special, just a well orderd eatery with something for everyone. Except maybe vegan and vegetarian folks, you'll get by, but this spots heard towards carnivores.

The California Burger - First Time Visit…read more First time trying The California Burger and ordered it for pickup. Right off the bat, the staff was friendly, the place was clean, and the prices are very fair, which already puts it in good standing. I ordered the California Burger, which comes loaded with avocado, onions, pickles, shredded lettuce, onion, 2 little half slices of bacon though, tomato, cheese, and their house sauce. Big plus that the avocado was fresh! and they didn't skimp on it (thank you ), and I really liked the shredded lettuce instead of the usual sad leaf situation. The sauce deserves a shoutout too! it's genuinely tasty and ties everything together nicely. Overall, the flavors were pretty good. Now for the honest part: the patty itself was a bit dry, which is kind of a big deal when it's the main event. That said, the generous amount of sauce definitely helped counteract the dryness. And honestly, when you're starving, there's a moment where you just say "whatever" and keep eating--and I did . It wasn't horrible by any means, just not quite on the level of a couple other burger spots I usually go to. The patties are on the thinner side, but that seems to be the norm at most casual burger joints these days. This feels like an easy fix though, cook the patties a little less and this burger would level up fast! Would I swear off this place forever? No. But if I know there's a better burger option open, that's probably where I'll go first. That said, if it's a Sunday, I'm craving a burger, and all my usual spots are closed... yeah, I'd consider coming back. Maybe. Solid spot, good flavors, and a little tweak away from being even better.

We finally tried this place after driving past it for years. Lol. Cute downtown spot with an artsy,…read moremodern 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.

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.
