My f*cking favorite burger spot. The monster burger is my order every time. I rave about this place to everyone I know, and encourage my people to stop here if they're taking a road trip to Vegas or LA from the bay. I finally tried the milkshakes this time around. The banana was ok, the pineapple was better. I like that it's not hella artificial. I love that they use real fruit bits. I'm not a huge fan of crinkle cut fries usually, but I like theirs. Why? Because they actually fry the fries to a crisp and then they're well seasoned. Yum. Every time I've come through, the girls working have always been really nice. Customer service is on point. I usually hit the drive thru and then park to eat. It's definitely a good place to people watch.. but I keep my doors locked lol. There's always a lot of movement on the street... read more

Used to be my go to spot for a vegan burger but it just got way too expensive for what you get now. The fries were super salty and small for what I paid. The burger was soggy at the bottom and overall just not as good as it used to be. Super sad about it!! ): read more

The food is so good here. Family and i drive from the other side of town just to eat here. Love the shakes and the customer service has been top tier! Outdoor seating is nice too. read more

They have a drive thru and another drive thru for online orders. No dining areas inside or out. They do have a toilet in the rear. The guy that was at the window both times was nice. We were looking for a fast food place to eat, on the way to Fresno. I don't know why this caught my eye on my yelp search. Was not let down. My wife likes "impossible burger" better than other plant based options. My daughter liked the seasoned fries. We all loved the sweets. So much we went there on the way home. My wife wishes they had one by us. read more

When you say Western, wow, YUM is the first thing that comes to mind. The Western hamburger at Shake n Buns is absolutely unbelievable. Hands down, it's the best Western barbecue sandwich I've ever had. The flavors are bold and perfectly balanced, the smoky barbecue sauce, melty cheese, and crispy onion rings come together in a way that just works. Every bite is rich, satisfying, and packed with that classic Western-style punch. The seasoned fries deserve their own shoutout too, crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and seasoned just right. They're the perfect side to an already knockout burger. If you're craving a true Western-style burger that delivers on flavor and quality, Shakes n Buns absolutely nails it. I'd go back for this sandwich alone without hesitation. read more

Ahhhh Shake N Buns!!! I have to say i've been to a lot of local burger places here and the same thing usually happens they absolutely rock it the first few times, I do a 5 star review then right after that Boom! They just take a dump just like that it's like that movie groundhog day! Lol So I thought ok this time i'll wait a while to do a review and test them. Well i crave Shake N Buns wayyy too often! Like i can see this becoming an issue for my ass haha!! Keep that booty voluptuous that's what their food will do! Geez! Perfect every time! Omg why and how is it so damn delicious! I'm giving a big ass 5 stars because ohhhh let me tell you the ways!! Double classic and double classic bacon jalapeño cheeseburger is my favourite burgers. They're not huge but they are the perfect size not to big where you feel like a stuffed piggy and not too small where you say well damn i shoulda gotten 2 Lol! Just perfect. Seasoned deliciously, juicy, perfect amount of toppings god why am I salivating thinking about them! Oh god their buns so soft, supple and that first bite makes you say ahhh yeah that's it.... Fries!! Ok they have this special it's the double classic combo $8 you get burger, regular fry and a drink well that regular fry is big!! And man those fries!! Crispy crinkle cut fries done right every time!! That seasoning oh god it's like crack! I tend to dip them in their homemade ranch and ketchup alternating you know to keep it interesting haha! Onion rings oh lordt!! Crispy, not greasy, tender never pulls out! ;) LMAO at that sorry my mind is a weirdo! Anyway you know of an onion ring isn't cooked properly you bite into it and the whole damn onion just comes out with that bite? That's a sign of an undercooked ring probably floppy internal breading and still crispy onions at the same time. Here it's literal perfection!! Oh that sound definitely asmr to your own ears every bite! Dip in that ranch and you have bliss!! Swirls...Do yourself a favour and get one idk what kind of ice cream they use. It's so silky smooth like a fat ass rich custard! Recently my son ordered the pumpkin pie one and OMG!!! I'm so glad i was only allowed a few bites because wow!! I think that's one of the best ice cream treats i've ever had!! They too fresh made pumpkin pie and swirled that into the ice cream! Topped it with thick homemade whipped cream and cinnamon. GASM!! Don't sleep on their shakes or swirls you will be sorry! There's more i've had here you can't go wrong with anything but these are my top fav's from here. They also do a vegan menu which i will try very soon!! Next time i'll get pics of the onion rings and fries sorry i just wanted to stuff my face Lol! Never have they messed up an order like other places. Service is always quick. It's clean and just a little drive thru. Employees are super nice as well. This is the only location i go to. I just felt they deserved an updated review since i often come here when I'm craving or just having a down day and need some naughty comfort food. Honestly i crave this more than In N Out there i said it!! Still love me some In N Out but damn this place hits every single time for me!! You guys Rock!!! read more

I've eaten here a few times, but I've been eating vegan for the last few months and I know they have some of the best vegan selections. I love that this place has a walk-up window or you can go through the drive-thru. This time I paid online and picked up at the window and the service was fine. There is not a lot of seating, so be prepared to take your order home. Will definitely come back! read more

We drive an hour to eat here and it's worth it everytime! Plus they are very clean here which we love. The gentleman who took our order was very friendly to! Definitely our new favorite place. They also have 50% off milkshakes during the day from certain hours. Thanks for including vegan and plant based items! read more

On a holiday night, we had a deliciously gluttonous meal on our road trip from California to Vegas. We're so glad it was open! We had a California burger which had an avocado & big piece of bacon, grilled chicken salad, captain. Crunch shake, and a icecream cone which came with a yelp check in. Paid ~$30. The food has some amazingly larger pieces of meat and tasted good. I like how everything is not perfectly shaped like other fast food restaurants which shows its authentic (and I think a local franchise?). read more

Was looking for a new place to try after work and I have passed this place many times and decided to stop and give them a try. Ordered a cheeseburger and chili cheese fries and was really good.

I really loved the California burger. The bacon is nice and crispy and soft giving you a delicious pork flavor. It kind of tasted like honey or mustard too. The avocado was nicely cut. None of the ingredients fell out with bites. The burger stayed intact. I added extra cheese and bacon. Best burger ever. read more

We Love Shakes n Buns and have never had a problem however this past Sunday I went to the newer location on Calloway and I ordered a pastrami sandwich. I was so disappointed when I got home and opened up my meal. Normally a pastrami is fat and juicy and delicious. This one was skinny and empty and not juicy. Even the French fries were cold and hard. Maybe we will stick to White Lane location. For $15 I did expect better.... read more

Juicy juicy hot burgers!! This place really hit the spot! I was craving a delicious burger on our drive back to the OC and found this fast food burger drive thru right off the freeway. They offer yummy burgers and also vegan burgers to choose from and best of all they have all kinds of delicious shakes! I orderd the Hot mess which had tons of spicy jalapenos yum! (I love spicy) and it was overflowing with melted american cheese. I also had to get a shake of course so I got their Oreo mint. The burger and shake combo along with their nice and salty fries really made my meal complete. The shake was also perfect, it tasted more like ice cream and the mint was not too overpowering. This is a drive thru only burger place but they do have some seating outside and a walk up window to order. Since this was dinner on our long drive back home from up north we decided to just eat in our car. Its been a while since I have eaten a burger meal in a car but it was super fun and this place was super yummy. Now we know where to stop for a great burger meal whenever we are on the road. read more

I used to come here all the time but the last few times have been horrible. I'm all about supporting local business but this one just keeps getting worse. $55 worth of food dried out chicken and cheese that is still cold.

Shake 'N Buns - Chicken avocado salad - Fast Food Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Decided to stop here for dinner while we were out and about and was pretty impressed with the food for being just a little burger shack! The menu is what you would expect from a drive thru burger joint - they have typical options like classic burgers, western cheeseburgers, and jalapeño burgers.. They also offer other options like fried or grilled chicken breast sandwiches. The kids menu offers burgers, chicken tenders, grilled cheese, or corn dogs. The kids meal comes with fries and a drink. Tenders weren't our favorite, but the corn dog was fried and delicious. They have the yummy wavy fries, but I do recommend eating them fresh because they were delicious in the car, but soggy by the time we go them home. They were double bagged in paper sacks which trapped in alot of moisture :/ **For my nut allergy besties - the gals working confirmed that they use Soybean oil to fry in!** One thing to note - if you are not paying with cash, expect to pay a "non cash fee".. for our $65 order, the fee was $2.15. Not sure if this is a flat fee or if it is dependent upon how much you spend. Not that $2 and some change is a huge expenditure, just something I thought I'd mention because I thought it was a weird charge on the receipt. read more

Everytime I come to work LIB festival we always stop here and make everyone happy vegans, meat eaters and milkshakers! So damn good just wish they had indoor seating and no random sketchy folks coming up to your car window asking if you wanna buy their drugs read more

I went for their lunch special food was ok customer service was terrible girl at window was unpleasant

Please make your cooks wear hair nets. Not only has it happened at this location but the other one as well but I have found hair in my food about 3 times now. 3 is enough for my to stop eating there as it wasn't just a one off thing. Just disgusting. Especially for the price. read more

I don't ever do reviews but I do want to say that the food is great I had to stop coming in the morning because the two woman don't seem to enjoy there customers I think one is named Alondra I once asked her name and she didn't give it next time I had to ask her work buddie both girls don't smile they both are in a rush and it felt so unwelcoming so I stopped going for the lunch special because i also didn't trust my food either when she's handling it. read more

Went though the drive thru last night for a quick dinner. Was SHOCKED at how much it cost! For two burger combos it was $26!! And after eating it it wasn't very good for the price. SKIP the combo and just get the burger since its around $5 add a drink and Frys and it skyrockets. They also CHARGE for ranch I got the western burger; bbq was a very hickory smokey flavor, not my preference but wasn't horrible. The French fries were HUGE I will say a bag full of fries which probably why it was so expensive, they were nothing special just frozen fries that were HEAVILY salted! The only good item for me was the Oreo milkshake, very creamy and worth the price. I don't know how keen I will be on coming back though. read more

Great place for a very good hamburger. If you like strawberry cheese cake they have a strawberry cheese cake Swirl that is awesome. There food is fresh and you can feast it when you bite into one of there many burgers. read more

The best burgers I ever tried, better than any franchise, friendly and quick service. They also have great deals.

I apologize for not taking any more pictures. Too hungry to remember I was going to a yelp review. My youngest, which is a Vegetarian recommended we go here because they have such a large, vegan /plant based menu, (chicken sandwiches chicken wings, burgers , hotdogs, amongst other things). We use the walk up window because the drive-through line was ridiculously long.. in for a treat. Lorena waited on us!! She had just returned from break and was on it. Took her order and made a couple suggestions. We ordered double burger with bacon combo to share with zucchini sticks, onion rings, and a medium diet Dr Pepper. My youngest kid ordered the vegan buffalo chicken sandwich with fries and bacon ranch dressing. but we are all doing one meal a day fasting so we barely took pictures you can see. The burgers were fresh and tasted like handmade and thrown on the grill. The bacon was crisp and the bun was soft as well. The vegan chicken burger was wonderful to youngest absolutely loved their buffalo chicken sandwich and made it a point to let us though they would be coming to pick one up at least once a week. Shake N Buns have such an expansive menu... (not to be confused with expensive$$$) we will definitely return to try a couple more items sometime in the next couple. many thanks to Lorena, who made our first time experience at Shake N Buns one to remember. I would suggest you order ahead and drive thru or walk the pick up window instead of waiting in the line during certain times of the day. They are pretty fast in delivering their food in the drive-through, but if you like me, when you're ready to eat, you're ready to eat. read more

I went from a five star to a 3 star to a 1 star. Drove here from Las Vegas and was completely starving and I specifically asked for cheese on my impossible burger but I wanted it to have regular cheese because I am not vegan I am just vegetarian and I explain that to them. I got zero cheese. At all. I hate dry hamburgers. :(. There was no ketchup in the bag to make up for the lack of cheese in this dry a** hamburger. Couldn't go back and fix it. Just thought it would be right with me being the only one waiting. read more

Food was great, burger was juicy and full of flavor. Shake was bomb, and fries were really well seasoned. My only complaint would be the fries could've been a little crispier but they were still very good! Definitely stop here over the BK, Carls, and McDonalds it may take a little longer but the food is about the same price and the quality is so much better! read more
