    Banana pudding in a can
    Chris S.

    We found out you can order delivery here. We have been dying to try one. It did not disappoint. It was absolutely delicious. The edges were thin and crispy with grilled onions and cheese all on a soft delicious bun. I also couldn't wait to get a can of banana pudding. It tasted like it was homemade. This is the best burger in Bakersfield. It's our destination from now on. Thanks Smash Shack

    Double smash stack with strawberry lemonade

    3rd time is a charm. The last 2xs i was here i was too earky. But this time success. Wow one french fry and one bite i am hooked. French fries taste real with the perfect amount of season. The double burger with everthing has real taste you can taste the meat that is not just salt. ($16) the smash sauce is similar to Red Robin camp sauce. The hours are a little funky he opens at 11.30. This is a food truck at the corner of Calloway and Rosedale. A few bummers Extra smash sauce is a $1. Strawberry lemonade is an extra $6.25 with the combo. You are eating outside so flies and bees want to share your food. This is summer and eating outside in the afternoon know it will be hot. But dont let any of the stop you come down!

    I was very surprised to see how this food truck area at the southwest corner of Rosedale and Calloway was decorated. So much effort on part of the owners to make it welcoming, comfortable and fun! The huge, real Xmas tree was impressive! We were happy with the two places we tried. Especially That Smash Stack! The double burger was really delicious! The bun was soft and ever so slightly sweet, it was juicy from the pickles, sauce and cheese. The burger did have crunchy, crispy edges. The house made blueberry lemonade was sweet and tart. I really liked it even though it was $8. My husband loved the fries, thin, crispy, salty.

    Came on a Saturday around noon, and it was surprisingly empty i was very excited to try these. Unfortunately I was not impressed, to begin with the gentlemen at the counter was absolutely not friendly second, we did not realize the lemonade is an extra 8'dollars and NOT included in the combo!!! It would have been nice to be warned, second, a single patty should not be an option it was 90 percent bread. The fries were the best part although the special sauce tasted like mayonnaise. Lastly, our 8 dollar lemonade was room temp, oh and if you need ice they recommend you ask another food truck. Very nice

    Burgers was alright sauce was good. Kinda slow seemed like only 1 cook was working on a Wednesday. Bet it's better on the weekend

    Looking for a legitimate smash burger? That Smash Stack is your place. Although the patties are thin (it's a smash burger) it's a good amount of meat and they pile on the cheese and onions. There is lots of patio seating available and parking behind all the food trucks. The food came out relatively quick and was hot!

    Was craving a burger but wasn't sure where to go. So I jumped on yelp and looked up some places this place caught my eye. The hamburger was pretty good but was a bit greasy never had a smash burger before but maybe that why. The burgers were quick for service and wasn't that long of a wait. The loaded fries were in a kinda like a meal prep container if you want you can wash it out save it for something else. The lemonade was hand made you can tell it wasn't store bought. They only had a few selections of drinks. Because their ice chest got stolen sucks when you can't have nice things. But the place is a very good atmosphere they have heaters around if you want to stay near by or just eat in your car like me. But I'll go back and try it again but I would recommend this place to someone who craving a smash burger.

    I ordered the single Smash with fries. I waited for 25 minutes but felt bad giving this place 4 stars based on that. The burger was a solid smash burger, however it's not the best I've ever had. Maybe this is the best in Bakersfield? Which is what I was on the hunt for. Nonetheless, this was a great smashed burger. Also, my order came with a lot of fries! In this economy, that's a saving grace because I could have easily shared my fries with a second person if they only ordered a burger. My Single Smash Combo was $15 with fries and a can of soda. I will 100% go back for that combo. I found this place at a Rosedale Food truck lot. There was easy parking and felt like a safe spot to eat outside of, even alone at night. Very casual ambiance.

    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.

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.

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.

    We finally tried this place after driving past it for years. Lol. Cute downtown spot with an artsy,…read moremodern vibe. 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.
