Plenty of seating and only two people ahead of us to order at the counter at 9 a.m. Within 20! Minutes about 4 other parties showed up at the same time. Though they did not have my first choice of posole today, I thoroughly enjoyed the chorizo and eggs with beans and potatoes and corn tortillas. (4/5) My husband ordered the chilaquiles with scrambled eggs and red sauce. (3.5/5). They have a salsa bar with sliced limes and cut radishes/cucumbers for you to pick up as desired. Delicious! I particularly liked the spicy salsa. While they were making the food, I ran across the street to get a photo of the world's tallest thermometer. lol The portions were huge!! We took our leftovers to go. Plenty of street parking and seating inside and it was a perfect little roadside cafe.

I saw the sign on the door and the little barrier setup, and somehow just ended up walking over to the ordering area. I had zero expectations -- I was basically ready to spend money just to use the bathroom. But wow... the food completely surprised me. The portions are super generous, and everything was packed with flavor. As a Chinese person who really loves Mexican food, I can honestly say this is one of the better Mexican meals I've had. Really hope more people come support this small business -- they deserve it.

However, the customer service was disappointing. While I was placing my order, the cashier stopped assisting me to help another customer with a receipt issue. I did not like this, as it was my turn and my order should have been completed first. He also began handing out other ready orders, which is understandable, but a simple "sorry, please wait" would have made a difference. There was also no greeting. I'm giving three stars mainly due to poor customer service. On a positive note, they did have utensils and a salsa bar, which was nice. We ordered a corn cup and a chicken taco. The food was decent, but the prices felt high--over $4 for one taco with less chicken, and over $5 for the corn cup, with very little cheese added.I don't mind paying since it's middle of highway BUT should've added More chicken and more cheese to the food.

We had been on the road for a few hours and wanted to get something to eat! The last time I visited the Mad Greek was about 20 years ago, on my way to Anaheim to visit the ADP HQ. It was good back then, and the food is still great! As soon as you walk inside the restaurant, you'll notice how spacious it is. There was table seating inside the restaurant in various locations. There is now self service kiosks where you can place your order, but there was also a team member at the register taking orders too. Their menu has changed though since I last visited. There are a lot more options you can choose from such as Breakfast items: Burritos, quesadillas and more! Hamburgers/Cheeseburgers Sandwiches (Patty Melt, BLT, Grilled cheese..) Salads Milkshakes and so much more! We decided to try the following Beef & Lamb Gyro Meal Combo - Rice/Drink Chicken Souviaki - with hummus, no tomatoes and with Feta Fries/Drink. The team member provided us with a buzzer which would let us know when the meal was ready. It was beautiful weather outside, around 80, so we ended up waiting outside at a table while our meal was getting prepared! We didn't wait too long either, about 10 minutes for the meal. It was pretty quick! My Chicken Souviaki included two skewers with lettuce and onions. The hummus was in a cup, so I was able to add as much of the hummus to the wrap as I needed. The hummus was more like a thin sauce though. It was still yummy! The chicken was quite flavorful and tender. I enjoyed the wrap. The Feta Fries though were super scrumptious! There was so much feta cheese on the Fries! I ended up dipping the French Fries into the hummus sauce! The French Fries were crunchy and just perfect! My husband and I ended up splitting the Feta Fries. I also had a chance to try out the rice, which was good, but I did like the Feta Fries better. We spent less than 30 minutes inside the restaurant, and then was back on the road to Las Vegas! The team members were helpful and friendly. The food was great. This would be my go to spot if I am looking for a quick meal at Bakersfield again!

Fast and friendly service as well.

This is the home to the world's largest thermometer and Alien Fresh Jerky. I cannot begin to tell you how many times I have driven past this place but never stopped. Now, I like aliens just as much as the next guy, but it was one of those places that I really had no reason to top of. But let me tell you, I am so glad that I did. In addition to having probably the largest selection of beef jerky next to buc-ee's, this place has more alien stuff than you can shake a stick at. Honestly, this place really does look like it belong on the Vegas strip with its big LED signs and alien motif all throughout the exterior. Additionally, they are in the process of building a UFO hotel. I'm going to tell you this. I will be there as one of the first guests in line when this thing opens up. Let's talk about the jerky for a second, they're not kidding when they say it's fresh. I have purchased multiple bags here on multiple occasions, and I got to tell you this is some of the best beef jerky you can ask for. It's super tasty, and not like that really nasty hard stuff you buy out of gas station convenience store, this stuff really is fresh. I don't know how to quantify alien fresh, but this jerky iis probably some of the best I've ever had. Tons of different flavors and heat levels for every person's taste. Bottom line? This place Is definitely the place to stop when you're out on the road going to or from Las Vegas from Orange county. Honestly, It's a perfect pit stop.

If you're tired of the tourist crowds and lines at EddieWorld, I recommend this place for the convenience. I ordered the pastrami sandwich with fries based on the friendly guy's recommendation inside the order window. The $14.00 price was reasonable. Service was slow, though. I guess it's because he's the only guy there taking orders and making the food. By the time I took a bite of the pastrami sandwich, the wait was worth it. The taste is what you'd expect from a "typical" pastrami sandwich made fresh. I've had some phenomenal pastramis in my lifetime, and when I say "typical", it's a complement.

Remembering that it had a high star count encouraged us to give this place a chance. All that being said, the food was pretty good, there was a small seating area, and the lady that helped was very nice. We ordered the birria torta, one chicken taco, one steak taco, and chicken strips with fries. Living in the Bay Area for most of my life (Hayward and San Jose), I can confirm that what we ordered was pretty tasty and worth the stop if you're craving Mexican on your journey. Two critiques - my husband says his fries could have been salted more, and I think something to level up this business would be to sell agua frescas or horchata. My phone was dead while we stopped there, so, sorry, no pictures. I give this place 4 out of 5 stars - food is pretty good, but I was looking for more flavor in the beef and broth of my birria torta with consummé.

I bought some snacks for the family for our 2 nights stay in LV (for the Bruno Mars Concert) The healthy snacks I bought almost got finished and we aren't even in our hotel room yet. The snacks I bought were all delicious and fresh. Anyway, on our way back to SD we stopped over again. I bought big packs of Macadamia nuts, cashew nuts, dried Kiwi, dried pineapple. I got addicted eating the nuts and the dried fruits; as of today, 'think there is only one serving left. I tried to check their website to check if I can order online, but it seems I can't. I was joking to my son if he can drive me there to get my favorite snacks (he laughed.) How I wish they can offer an online service. For those who are heading to Vegas, stop by to this place. I am recommending this place, it's a place where you can relax, and feel amazingly comfortable.

Inside has plenty of vendors including ice cream, coffee, and a whole selection of candy, snacks, etc. There's also plenty of souvenirs that you can purchase for memories. Restrooms are clean and plentiful in stalls. Love that inside is very spacious and outside is spacious as well. They're not 24/7, so plan accordingly, 6:00 AM - 12:00 AM (Next day). Another draw to EddieWorld is a supercharger station next to the gas station, competitive charging rates at $0.43/kWh and 18 accessible superchargers. Highly recommend this spot to take a rest stop during any road trips.

The sandwich had lean strips of beef wedged inside a soft bun that was also stuffed with a few Red Peppers and several pieces of Jalapeno, which made it very spicy.

Diane enjoyed Curly Fries and a Deluxe Hawaiian Fish Sandwich that included a generous slice of partially melted cheese. She pronounced it very good.
