    California burger
    Tina M.

    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!!!

    Monster burger
    Sistine M.

    4.5! Ok Bakersfield... I didn't know you had all that... My badddddd!!!!! The signature Monster Burger was SOLID! It put an end for my search for a good pastrami burger. Even though it's not within arm's reach, I know where to go. I will now be stopping here every time I drive to SoCal. There are a few picnic type tables under a covered area. The girl that helped us at the window was nice. She already had the essentials in the bag before we asked- like ketchup, ranch and napkins. I was (and still am) impressed! Massive flavor throughout the burger from bun to bun. The patty was perfectly seasoned, there was plenty of pastrami and peppers, cheese was melty, the bun was toasted and the sauce just took it a step above. Spice level was right where it needed to be according to my palette. Opening the box revealed a very well put together burger masterpiece. It was neatly setup and ready to eat. Pastrami and cheese calling my name, begging me to take a bite. The best fried pickles I've ever had- spears with a thick crunchy seasoned batter. Nothing soggy about these bad boys. The portion might not be the biggest, but worth it? Absolutely. I don't expect much from crinkle fries but these stood long and strong. Nothing limp about them. For being a drive thru/order window only the quality is top notch. Real talk, these burgers are better than some restaurants I've been to. Everything was hot, hot and freshly made.

    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!

    Customer service and double cheese burger were good :) drive through didn't take too long.

    Spicy Chicken Sandwich - raw
    Lanea H.

    Waited over 30 min from the time we pulled in. Figured food was being cooked and it was going to be worth the wait. Well, ended up getting undercooked chicken sandwich - which ruined the meal.

    Free yelp check in icecream cone!
    Iris A.

    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?).

    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. And was also reasonably priced. If you are driving down white lane stop and give them a try. They also have lunch specials

    I love the vegan options they have here. The milkshakes are delicious. Meat eaters had a ton of options and the people in my group said it was delicious too.

    Drive thru only. Really good burgers. Pricey but good. Lots of fries. Loved that they have a variety of vegetarian options.

    Best plant based milk shakes ever ! Strawberry & Peanut butter are the two flavors we got !

    White lane location

    White ln location, they got our order wrong twice! Went back again to complain and ask for a refund and the damn girl at the window started cussing at my daughter! WTF! YOU GUYS FKD UP OUR ORDER! Not once but twice!!! You should never cuss at your customers ever!! Unprofessional AF! You need to work on your customer service skills! Immediately!! Will not return here!!

    Chicken avocado salad

    Keep making your salads with the greenest part of the lettuce! This is the best I've had from you guys!‍

It's not a shock that this is one of the TOP places to eat on Yelp's Central Valley - South list. You'll immediately notice Scrambled's Yelp award at the check-in table. Here's why they have an award: Upon arrival, you'll notice Bakersfield locals come here. We waited about 20 mins as it was quite full inside and we arrived during a Saturday morning (on Valentine's Day). All sorts of guests visit, families, couples, seniors etc. I overheard the regulars say there's excellent mimosas here, I didn't try them but they looked good. Each patron had something positive to say and had a fun little story about their visit to Scrambled. As for my meal, my Mom and I both got cafe de olla which is essentially a Mexican blend of coffee with a hint of cinnamon. Fantastic! Next, I knew this place was known for its Mexican breakfast AND scrambles, so I decided to try the best of both worlds. I ordered a chile verde scramble. The flavor was really good, everything felt homemade. The meat could've been slightly more juicy, but everything worked so well I didn't mind it. The ambiance was moderately noisy, yet relaxed. I got an authentic cafe vibe here as my Mom and I were able to hold a conversation without having to raise our voices. My Mom said she got an authentic Mexican cafe vibe, I can see it! Everyone was super sweet and professional, I felt right at home.

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.

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.

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.
