    Ortega Burger and King Burger with fries
    DJ R.

    Root Beer King in Lamont is worth the drive. When my family comes into town from North Carolina they always want to go to Root Beer King for the burgers and fries. The Ortega Burger is my fav. King Burger is great as well. The fries are what makes this place special in my opinion. . Service is quick and the prices are reasonable. 50's dinner decor is pretty cool as well. Take a drive out to Lamont and grab yourself some of the best fries in Kern County

    Chilli cheese fries

    Service was excellent place is clean and the fact that it's an old style dinner with a jukebox with Elvis Presley music .. is a touch of food is hot made fresh .. I got chilly cheese fries they come with Nacho Cheese as they should thank you .. for great service I'll be back

    Exterior neon sign

    Took a drive out to Lamont on a recommendation from a friend to try the Root beer king out there. I was pretty impressed when we first arrived. It was a pretty cool looking classic diner with neon lights outside. Waked in and even the interior had the classic diner feel to it. We came in at 8:40 and were told to go orders only because they were closing soon- at 9:30!!!! So not too happy about that after driving 30 minutes but whatever. I always order unsweetened iced tea as I try and keep my sugars down but they were out so strike 2. The staff seemed really bothered that and customers wanted to order food! We both ordered the King burger combo. It took a while but I think that's because they make each order fresh. We got our order and ate it in the car. Not gonna lie it was really good! The hamburger was seasoned to perfection and those crinkle fries were so crispy and the seasoning salt is to die for!! What a waste that the amazing food we ate was ruined by such bad service. Coming in 50 minutes before closing isn't too much to ask and should have been able to enjoy our food in the dining area! But I will return because the food was that good and hopefully I'll be able to give them the 5 star review that the food deserves!

    Avocado burger and chili fries

    My avocado burger was good flavor and size fries crunchy and fresh with less seasoning next time . Service was great

    Two orders of chili cheese fries and chicken tender meal.

    Root beer king is a Lamont staple, I used to eat here every weekend when I lived in Lamont. You can never go wrong with the king burger add pastrami and a side of chili cheese fries. I guarantee you won't leave hungry. There Pattie's are homemade and made to order the seasoning is on point and the best part is the little bit of seasoning they put on top of the bun when served. The menu is vast and guaranteed to have something for everyone. I've been to the one in Bakersfield on Niles but it's definitely not the same as the original. The staff at the Lamont location is always friendly and the service is great. It's a bit of a drive but I'd highly recommend you make it to have a great burger. I do have to say the prices have gone up so it is a bit pricey now but the portions are huge especially with the fries, they're not stingy. You could just order a burger and share and order of fries.

    Yummy, yummy,

    See all

    The staff there are nice and the food is too. I really love the inside because it looks and feels likes it's an old diner from the 50s.

    I came in around 9:30 p.m. and was waiting for my order. The employee asked if I was waiting for…read moresomething, even though I had already placed an online order. I told her yes and gave her my name and number. I ordered three cookies. The employee, who appeared to be a manager, handed me the cookies but did not warm them up, even though they are usually served warm. I asked if she was going to warm them, but she seemed confused. I explained again and then said never mind and asked how long the cookies are normally heated so I could warm them at home. She told me they do not warm cookies at all and looked at me as if I didn't know what I was talking about. This was very frustrating. I drive from Bakersfield to this location because it is usually clean and the food is fresher. It was clear she was not familiar with how certain items are supposed to be prepared. This is my third time visiting this location in the evening, and I have had poor service each time. In my experience, the best customer service is only in the early morning between 6 a.m. and 12 p.m. I do not recommend visiting this location at night. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE!

    I went to the mcdonald's and expected a normal mcdonald's experience. but instead they took 10…read moreminutes for the pumpkin and cream pies. we would have to constantly talk to the lady that we were missing things. they gave us our food piece by piece instead of putting all of it in a bag and drinks in the cup holders. we asked the lady to give us a mocha drink and she continued to say she gave it to us when she didn't then finally realized and saw that she hadn't. there were other customers waiting for the cashier or overall service and there was nobody there. people looked like they didn't wanna help or deal with anything but kind of expected with a mcdonald's. proceeded to forget our items and gave us NONE of the sauces we ordered. food tasted abnormal not enjoyable mixed with a attitude if a regular mcdonald's experience is around 3 starts this for sure deserves one.
