Double cheeseburger and a single cheeseburger the side of fries. Sorry about the thumbprint in my bun.

Sam's is always the place to go to get a good Hamburger fries and a Shake. My family has been going to Sam's for years now. I've never been disappointed. The service is OK. You may have to be patient sometimes because of all the customers they have. I generally order it ahead of time or use DoorDash. And of course, the taquitos deep fried burritos, corn dogs. Etc. are always a go to!

This is small, to go window outside & a few tables inside, their customer service is amazing! Their food is absolutely incredible! It is quiet, small tv playing movies/ shows, even better!

Jumbo Fries with Jalapeño  Bacon burger.

From NorCal and new to the Bakersfield area. Was craving for a good burger and decided to give this place a try because the two nearby Frosty King that was moving slower then a snail pace. To my surprise I was out in less then 15 minutes using the drive thru. The Jalapeño Bacon hamburger was great and the buns were well toasted with no hint of sogginess. Also ordered the Jumbo size fries which was overkill in portion - great for fries lovers though. I am opting for the large size next time. The neighborhood appears to be ghetto but there is a drive thru for those that are skeptical to be in this part of town. The customer service is so so average but I am here to order a good meal. Must try for all burger lovers, you won't be disappointed!

Best burger place in town!! I love their burgers, carne asada fries, teriyaki bowls, and desserts. The food came out very quickly and service was great. The price is very reasonable as well. I will definitely recommend this place to anyone! :D

I come here every time I'm in Bakersfield! The food is absolutely delicious and the price is really cheap! In Orange County carne asada fries are at least $8.00 (or more) but it's only $5.00 here! They have a variety of different foods here and normally I have doubts about restaurants like that but King's Grill took away those doubts. I've ordered different things here and every single thing on this menu is sooooo good!! If you're ever passing by the area, I HIGHLY recommend stopping by this place!

I tried the Carne Asada Fries, nothing special. I'm from SoCal and they are a favorite of mine from my high school days but these... Not enough meat! I asked for salsa and was told "it in bag", all I found was a container with ranch and "guacamole"(?!?), if u could call it that, it tasted weird and artificial. The place has a good grade from the health inspector but just looks so OLD and rundown. Wish the food was better, migt come back to try a teriyaki bowl.

Carne asada fries!!

I love this place!! Not only is there a wide variety of menu choices (burgers, burritos, teriyaki plates and bowls, milk shakes, smoothies, and ice cream) but everything is at an affordable price AND tastes good. I tried the teriyaki plates (one with rice and one with noodles) and carne asada fries and they were all cooked just right - not too greasy or oily. The honeydew smoothie and oreo tornado (milk shake / ice cream) were both super yummy as well. PLUS service is so amazing!! The family who runs the shop is so friendly!

The first time we visited sometime last year my husband took me to breakfast on a random Tuesday…read moreand I was impressed, so we recently came back on a busy Saturday brunch and they STILL impressed me. Service was fast, staff was pleasant so everything was fantastic! So far, food has been good and I definitely will come back. It's way on the other side of town for me, but it's nice seeing lots of brunch options in Bakersfield these days. Breakfast is my absolute favorite meal of the day, so it's nice to know I have another option. There's lots of parking which is a plus, the other places struggle with parking which makes it hard to visit. Restaurant looks clean, it looks family oriented and they have tons of options for the family. They have tons of tables too, so there's room for everyone. The place stays busy so you know the food is fresh and they keep your coffee cup filled. I'm not sure how long this has been here since I barely visited last year, but if you haven't stopped by you definitely need to check it out.

MAN'S BEST FRIEND Omelette $18.59 sausage, bacon, ham, cheddar & monterey jack cheese. I added diced onions. I ordered the hash brown option and pancake. Per their website, one of their specialties are the "fluffy pancakes". Omelette had decent amounts of diced ham, sausage and bacon. I found this to be an omelette large enough to share. Hash browns were standard. Pancake was okay but nothing truly spectacular, just average in taste. The pancake was oversized enough to share. Overall I gave this a 8/10 2. PAUL BUNYAN $21.99, two eggs, two bacon, two sausage, a 1/2 pound ham. Ordered with country potatoes and Rye toast. The bacon was amazing!! Thick cut bacon and cooked to perfection. Overall the breakfast was your standard breakfast and definitely large enough to share. 8/10 Restaurant was clean, tables were cleaned off as soon as customers left. And restrooms were clean and fully stocked. Plenty of free parking. Waitstaff were friendly and efficient. The ambiance is pretty laid back. They also have an ice cream bar with 26 gourmet ice cream flavors.

I stopped by during lunch and was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't as crowded as I expected. The ambiance was relaxing, spacious, and comfortable, with soccer games playing on the TVs. The only downside was having to head back to work! From the moment I walked in, I was warmly greeted. I really appreciated the immediate acknowledgment and friendly service. Now for the best part--the food! I ordered the Cali Cheesesteak with curly fries, and it was absolutely delicious. In fact, my coworkers were jealous when they saw my lunch! Needless to say, I'll be back. Next time, I'm bringing the whole crew for a group lunch!

This time around, I decided to try out the fish sandwich and my daughter wanted the club sandwich. She absolutely loved her sandwich which is great because as I mentioned...super picky kid. Me on the other hand, not impressed at all with the fish sandwich. First impression was it did look super fresh. The lettuce looked crisp and fresh and the fish was poking out of the sandwich which means good portions. But the fish was a bit dark, suggesting either old or dirty grease or cooked too long? Either way it was bland. I ended up having to douse it with a mixture of tarter, malt vinegar, ketchup and Tabasco sauce. I feel as though since this is a fish restaurant that is from the coast, the fish should be their best dish. But this is twice now that it has failed to impress me.

I was in Bakersfield, which is a rare occurrence, and I stopped by to eat at this place. I love a…read moregood barbecue, but I had low expectations for this one. 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.

I really enjoy my ribs they were tender and in my opinion they didn't need the sauce. I enjoyed how spacious the place is and the giants fan they have keep the place cool during this hot weather. Was just passing by for a dinner meal, and I was very happy. If I could give one recommendation maybe smoke those ribs a bit more to be a bit more tender. Definitely will be back for that tri tip.

My only gripe is the parking or lack there of. Very tight and small in the designated parking on the west side of the restaurant and we've found it difficult to find parking on 18th street.

The vibes in the new space are absolutely immaculate. There is so much more energy here, and the decorations are incredibly cute. It's the perfect backdrop for a killer meal. The Main Event: This time around, I went with the En Fuego Burger. This beast is loaded with a chile-spiced beef patty, pepperjack, sharp cheddar, thick-cut bacon, chipotle mayo, pepper relish, pickled jalapeños, and a mountain of fried jalapeños + onion strings. The Flavor Profile: This burger delivers on every level, but those fried onion strings were to die for. For the side, I got the sweet potato fries, which are served as big, thick-cut wedges. They come paired with a duo of spicy ketchup and a marshmallow dipping sauce. Switching between the two was amazing, the marshmallow sauce actually makes the fries feel like a dessert. The Drink: To wash it all down, I ordered the basil lemonade, and omg, I need to figure out how to recreate this at home. It's exactly what it sounds like, crisp, refreshing lemonade with a perfect herbal basil finish. The Verdict: If you loved their old spot, the new location takes everything to the next level. Between the upgraded atmosphere, the dessert-like fries, and that refreshing lemonade, I will absolutely be coming back here again and again.

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.
