The 18Hundred is such a fun place to come and dine at! I love that this building was once a Security Trust. The modern decor doesn't take away from the whole vibe. The neon signs are especially fun too. I came here to celebrate a friend's birthday. I was the first to arrive, and since they don't do reservations, I requested a table. We were expected to be quite a large party (approx.10-12), so it was pretty difficult getting seated quickly since they had to figure out spacing. But that's understandable with how limited the seating is already. I was between getting the zucchini fries and the brussels sprouts, because their brussels sprouts are so tasty and flavorful. But ended up ordering the zucchini fries, because they are incredible! They're nice, hot and crispy, and go amazing with their ranch! For my main dish I ordered the Wild Caught Cajun Salmon Salad. I had never had it before but it was really good & filling! The food took a little long to come out, but again, it was understandable with the amount of people in our party. Overall, I was satisfied with my visit and will definitely come back! read more

We came in for social hour one day after a long week of work. This was a very nice way to recharge! When we walked in the decor was so bright and fun but also really chic. We ordered drinks and some food for a social hour early dinner. The staff were all so awesome with us and our questions of drinks and took our orders and even chatted a bit. Such a great way to enjoy the community! The food was great and the drinks were so great! A little advice, the social hour basket of fries is huge - definitely shareable OR hog your own and warm up leftovers in the air fryer because the fries are also super delicious read more

I love the fries and milkshakes but the service takes forever! There could be a table for four people open and two people would have to wait 30 minutes to just to be seated across the restaurant from that table. It just takes forever to sit down but regardless the menu is amazing! read more

Went here for dessert after a hearty Italian dinner on a Friday night. It looked full but we were immediately seated. Interior is visually aesthetically pleasing - even their downstairs bathroom mirror, don't miss out! And of course their milkshake, can't really go wrong with your $10. It was filling, delicious and costs roughly same as two hot fudge sundaes! Service was likewise exceptional. Will surely be back and to try to eat something from their house specialties and of course have dessert again afterwards! read more

I've been here twice now. Here's things we love about it: they greet you right away when you walk in, it's clean, aesthetically pleasing, and close to the Fox Theater and The Well Comedy Club. The first time we came here, my husband and I came for dinner and drinks, both were amazing and the service was perfect. The server checked on us enough but not too much to make us feel rushed. Tonight we just went for drinks as we were in the area before the event we were going to started. My husband had an old fashioned and I had a lemon drop martini, we sat at the bar. The bar tender was friendly and her drinks satisfied the thirst. read more

Food, cocktails, coffee, decor and vibes- what more could you ask for? There's something for everyone and located downtown. I haven't had a meal I haven't enjoyed. Great iced latte.

The pastrami melt, and Philly cheesesteak I'm going to have to say big nos. The cheese they use is definitely something that is very sharp flavored and overpowers anything else on the sandwich. The service was okay I mean basic. First time I came here was better stick with the cauliflower and salads next time for this place those are great. read more

The service was terrible. Walked in and was seated immediately but sat there for 10mins with no one coming to take our order. I watched servers do everything else besides make sure the customers were served. If you want to wait forever then go here. We walked out and the server said to have a nice day. Thanks for the water. It was hydrating. Second time it has happened. Not going again. read more

Food was ok and drinks were great. Happy hour prices were reasonable. I was expecting the interior to feel more like a sophisticated bar, but it gives more of a front porch lunch vibe with the faux wicker furniture and bright colors. Overall a good visit and we'll be back! read more

Had a really nice lunch there today with my grandson and ordered him the birthday shake for his birthday. I had the lunch special tomato soup with your choice of sandwich and the sandwich I chose was the ultimate grilled cheese. My grandson ordered the bako burger and fries. Everything was delicious, the tomato soup was out of this world, and I loved dipping my sandwich in it. There was a little bit of a wait today because they were super busy but the servers were great. I love how it looks inside and the seating is super comfortable. read more

Street parking was easy to find during the week but I'm not sure if there is a specific parking lot for this restaurant. The service was great, the waitress was nice and friendly. She recommended some items on the menu. We tried the zucchini fries and they were just okay. I probably would not order them again definitely lacking in flavor. I felt the same about both sandwiches that were ordered. Definitely needed more Philly steak in the sandwich and the California chicken overall lacked in flavor. I didn't much care for the chopped up celery in both sandwiches either, kind of threw the flavor off to me as well. I really wanted to try the pasta here but it was lunch and you can only order the pasta at dinner. It is really cute inside and they have lovely decor. I loved all the photo op opportunities but the food just did not do it for me unfortunately. read more

The food is fantastic. If I were rating the food, I'd give them 6 stars! My wife and I had salads. She had Cobb and I had autumn with grilled chicken. Great combinations and amounts of ingredients, enough dressing but not too much (I LIKE my salad dressing too!) and fresh all day. My son had the mushroom burger - again, wonderful toppings, juicy burger, mouthwatering. He also ordered a unicorn shake (pictured) which is the most outrageous milkshake I've ever seen. He also ordered onion rings which I may have helped him with. Haha. Excellent. After waiting 20 minutes prior to being recognized by a host figure, had there been any other nice restaurant downtown open on a late Sunday afternoon, we would have tried it. We ran into a group of friends so their party of six grew to a party of nine. We did say that if it would expedite things, we could be seated as six and three. After waiting for at least a half hour they seated all 9 of us on the patio and as we were about to be seated, they announced their tip policy of 20% for any party over 8. The servers were friendly but ... (1) they brought out water for us. Within five minutes I'd refilled my small water glass twice and consumed the ice. There was no refill on ice offered even tho servers passed my table several times. (2) They asked about separate checks at first. There was an order of onion rings on our bill and a bill at the other table (yes we were at separate tables because they're bolted down outside). They brought out both orders but only ONE small plate of condiments. Really, it's the little things, like more ice in my little water glass. Lol. (3) Food wasn't served simultaneously. For instance, my wife's food came out at least five minutes after mine. (4) Early on a bird pooped on one of our friend's hands (he was at the other table) and our table top was... sticky. I realize we were a large party and there were several large parties inside. I guess it really upsets me that the gratuity was included so what I thought of the service didn't matter. I wouldn't be so harsh if it didn't seem like there were plenty of servers. And they were friendly, and sweet, just not attentive. read more

My husband, one of our children, and I went out last night to give this place a try. I have been wanting to try this place for at least 2 years, so we finally went! It is clean and inviting. The girl sat us right away, spoke with us about delicious options, and brought us the happy hour menu. We were waited on fairly quickly. We ordered a small starter plate, my husband tried their Philly cheesesteak, I tried the mushroom & Swiss burger, and our kiddo tried the hand-breaded chicken strips. Our food came out pretty quickly and was delicious. We had a good time and really enjoyed our food. Also, very reasonably priced. We would definitely go back and try new things. read more

The 18hundred was a nice spot for brunch as they are located in a nice area of town and they had the Mexico vs South Africa game playing. The food was great and their cheesesteak was pretty good. I've never had a cheesesteak before but after eating it I can't get enough of it. Their service was also great and very attentive.

I've been here so many times and always forget to get my photos for my reviews! Though I remembered to take photos of the restaurant and Menu, I forgot to snap pics of our food! We came in for lunch today as one of our team member was in town for a meeting. I ordered their BTLA sandwich with the zucchini fries, my colleagues each had a turkey club sandwich with a side salad and a mushroom burger with a side salad. It's a beautiful establishment/building, preserved very well. The industrial ceiling, exposed brick, I love me a good brick wall. I am a sucker for older repurposed buildings! ( insert heart eyes emoji) The food is great too. A variety for all and the staff and service are fast and attentive. If you're ever in the downtown area, I recommend you try them out for yourself! read more

Went for an early Mothers Day lunch with my daughter, neice and her daughter. When we arrived half of the restaurant was empty but the servers/hosts were so confused as to where people would be sitting. One server(a man, didnt catch his name)actually got my party number, didnt enter it in the iPad, said im sorry everyone came in at once I dont know, he took a family outside and ignored everyone waiting to check in. Another server finally came over, apologized and sat everyone. Our server Samantha B. Was great but it seemed she was having to do more than her share as she was busy trying to keep things running smoothly. Go Samatha! The restaurant became busy as we were there but It was mostly families and the atmosphere was really family friendly. I was happy to see that there is a gluten friendly option for my daughter. A gluten free kids meal! The girls loved the milkshakes and didnt leave a single drop! She loved it, and I loved the price! I ordered the sandwich and soup lunch special. Turkey club and tomato soup hit the spot! This is a great place to have an affordable meal, when you have dietary restrictions or just want to have a delicious meal. read more

Stopped at this restaurant based on reviews after an appt in town. It was a small but cute restaurant. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced. I had wild caught salmon salad and my mom had the Wild caught salmon dinner and we both loved our dishes. They were both very good portions as well. The only negative was the parking; hard to find a parking and it was a weekday. Thankfully it was early and I was able to find one. I wish I lived closer though because I'd definitely come back again. read more

Me and my friend went to The 18hundred while we were downtown exploring. Both of us never been so we didn't know what to expect. Very nice decoration and a cute little restaurant. We got seated immediately and our server was fantastic. Fast with the food and drinks, checking in on us but not too much, we had our own self serving water...everything went smoothly. I got the cheesesteak Philly and my friend got the breakfast bowl. Both so good and fresh out the kitchen. I also got a chai latte and cheesecake. Everything was great I have no complaints, even the music playlist they were playing was better than any other restaurant. We will be coming again for dinner this time. read more

There were 4 tables wide open when we walked in. We were a party of 6. They told us 15 Minutes which we thought was odd Because two tables could've been pushed together. We waited 10 min and then two different couples came in and were seated right away. Poor communication and poor customer service. read more

The place is mostly built on aesthetics. I actually enjoyed the specialty item I got, the wild caught salmon but the rest of the table got Bako Burgers and Tacos. After that, ordered milkshakes. I was the only one who enjoyed my food I ordered that night, and after that I ordered a matcha hot drink that was pretty ok tasting in terms of matcha quality, because of being chalky, but it had great presentation. My wild caught salmon was most likely the best item out of everything the table ordered. The crispy, well seasoned salmon sat upon a mound of mashed potatoes, which had subtle flavor, not overseasoned or completely tasteless. The mashed potatoes had sautéed green beans resting on top, cooked well, and were probably the first time I've ever enjoyed green beans . The lemon-zest butter had been poured all over the plate, drizzled on top of the food, which had a rich, and zesty flavor with the appropriate amount of sour. The others didn't enjoy their burgers, they were just good. Good as a burger can be, not anything really spectacular, and not worth the money we spent. Fries were ordered on the side, came out to us cold and pretty average fries that could be beaten by a McDonalds fry. The kid ordered spaghetti which was also just not good, you can make the same tiny bowl of spaghetti at home for cheaper and better taste. The tacos were out of place too, and expectedly bad for a fancy "fufu food" place. Moving onto the milkshakes, the milkshakes were quite literally ALL presentation. We got the mocha and fruity pebbles one. The mocha milkshake tasted like regular vanilla ice cream with Hersheys chocolate syrup mixed in, and the fruity pebbles milkshake had a stale piece of a fruity pebbles bar thats taste hadn't altogether chalked up to how it was presented. The only thing special about the Mocha milkshake was the brownies on them, which were good but not great. On the service, the waiters were nice, and the servers were kind. In summary, the food is basically just good, but not spectacular, especially the burgers which is kind of what theyre known for. The price is not equivalent to the taste for sure. The desserts were ok; the milkshakes were pretty much all show. read more

The 18hundred is an easy choice for lunch in downtown. Service today was topnotch and the food did not disappoint. Deviated from my usual salad option and instead had the sammy/soup combo. I opted for the turkey club and tomato soup. Food came to our tables pretty quickly. Was pleasantly surprised that the sandwich was a full sandwich. It was perfectly toasted, packed with turkey, avo, and bacon. I only could get through half and saved the other half for dinner. The tomato soup was thick yet smooth, and quite balanced. It ate more like a tomato bisque than anything. Yum. I've never had a bad meal here to date. Might come back soon. read more

What happened to 18Hundred? The new burgers are child sized, dry, lack flavor and have extremely low quality ingredients. The burger patty that was barely identifiable was bland and maybe 3 oz. Is it even grass fed anymore. Didn't taste it. They completely changed everything about the burgers, but kept the same names. The service was fine but every single person was new since the last time I was there, so I'm wondering if there was a change of ownership. Either way definitely won't be going back. Super disappointing because this place used to be a Bakersfield GEM. So sad. read more

Our other Bakersfield favorite restaurant within walking distance of the historic Padre hotel is closed on Mondays, so we were glad to find this place that is open daily and serves breakfast until 2 (3 on weekends). The bar is open all day, so we stopped by at 4 for a couple of their specialty cocktails, a pear spritz, and a momma mule, which were refreshingly different and on happy hour from 3 to 6. Later on, I enjoyed macncheese, while my husband loved his blta (with avocado and Dijon mustard). Their menus is extensive, from sandwiches, salads, kids menu, to house specialties like Mahi Mahi and rib eye steak. The interior is light, bright, and comfortable with high windows, located in a historic building. We had great service from Joseph all evening as the place filled with the dinner crowd. A very reasonably priced meal, which is a nice change for a cocktail bar and grill. read more

I remember when this restaurant opened back when I had just finished high school. All i saw on my social media feed were their MILKSHAKES. I always told myself i'd go and try it out but i just havent gone UNTIL NOW!! 6 years later lolol. Anyways I ordered the Spicy Jack Burger with fries with a side of ranch and my oh my it was delicious! I love spicy foods and this one was the perfect amount of spice. Now there's always room for dessert so you know I ordered their well known milkshakes next!! I ordered the La Vids Mocha milkshake because i love me a coffee shake and my jaw dropped when they served it to me. I was not expecting a huge wall of brownie on top of the milkshake. It was such an amazing experience, the milkshake and brownie tasted so so good. I'm so glad to have finally tried this restaurant!! read more

my aunt and i were driving from so-cal to nor-cal and made a stop for dinner. the restaurant was nice and cozy inside and i loved the brick walls. we surprisingly made it in time for happy hour so we got a burger (the original) which my aunt liked and i got the philly cheesesteak which I thought was really good, i would probably just have a smaller bun bc the breading was too much for how much was in the actual sandwich! i would definitely come back for a road trip pit stop. we were in and out in about 35 min! read more

I was traveling to Bakersfield for a little over a year and this was my favorite spot. The mushroom and Swiss burger with fries and ranch was unmatched. I came back for what will be my last visit for a while as I will no longer be traveling to Bakersfield. I was disappointed that the bun tasted stale. The fries and ranch were still a hit and you can never go wrong with a Cali squeeze. The inside decor is still cute and the service was great. read more
