This mall used to be so nice and full of good stores. Now it’s going down hill, most of the good stores have left and are being replaced with whatever random businesses they can get to fill up the vacant spaces. Idk what’s up with the janitorial situation but the bathrooms are gross and need to be deep cleaned. You’d think being the only mall in town that the owners would take better pride with keeping up with it instead of allowing their property to go down hill.

Great experience! Shawn went the extra mile to get me what I wanted. Looking for quality customer service and merchandise, check them out.

I like it it's in an OK area and it's pretty nice not gonna lie it has many shops around and Inside it. If there was a hangout area in Bakersfield this is Definitely Number 2 Here so many good options to choose from many clothing shop and the food court has many good options overall an 8.9/10

Absolutely horrible. Food court is plain and boring it’s the same food all the time. Mall is very small so you see everything and get bored pretty quickly. On top of that they do these spontaneous loud sounds that are very irritating and annoying that last for several minutes at a time

Typically, not too crowded, though, I do avoid coming here. If I can, sometimes it's an avoidable, do not come here during the holidays, because there's never any parking and it's super crowded. If I have to purchase anything here during the holidays, I check if they have curbside order. Walk in, get my stuff and get out.Parking lot is always a hassle

Just wanted to say the people who run the booths near the dubai chocolate stand harass people as they walk by this tall dude with curly black hair kept harassing me for not wanting to try their hair care he kept shouting at me as I walked away. Completely unprofessional and just straight up weird I felt very uncomfortable

Great for everyday shopping and special occasions. Lock your car and dont leave your valuables opened to public view. They got a macys, jc Penney, Kay jewelers, Victoria secret, target and many other shops.

Went for lunch with my boyfriend and our waiter Ismael was absolutely amazing! Great service and even greater food! Definitely will be coming again! Huge thank you to Ismael for his amazing customer service! 🫶

Friendly service great customer care. Food was excellent love not having to track down a server for a refill on coffee. Our server had great timing didn't feel rushed or ignored. Every staff member was helpful and cheerful. Will definitely be going back

One BIG BIG downside: They will not allow you to order off of a kid's menu if you've had gastric sleeve or bypass surgery. So don't bother asking. They'll tell you to order off of the regular menu and just order less. They would rather LOSE money than accommodate you. Even though there slogan is, "Spend your hard earned dollars with us. We appreciate you." Thankfully our waitress had more sense than her management. She was an absolute sweetheart. And we wish her luck in her studies. The rest: The food is plentiful. The flavor of the burger that I ate was a bit lacking. However, I have come for breakfast as well and their gravy is really good. I would recommend the chicken fried steak and biscuits and gravy. The atmosphere was open and not cluttered. But, it was also a bit messy for a non rush hour. Their menus are clevery disguised as newspapers with some pretty cool facts. However, the paper I got today was worn and tearing. It felt like 6 people read the paper before me. Definitely needed to wash my hands before I ate after that one. The service was friendly and punctual.

Absolutely love this place. Whenever I need comfort food and breakfast for dinner this is my favorite spot to be at. Delicious! It makes it even better to get great service from the staff. I come pretty often I have my favorite waitress picked out when i get there. Veronica is a great employee to this restaurant they are lucky to have her

Ordered online chicken fried steak dinner asked for gravy for my fries and fries extra crispy, plus there was no gravy on the chicken fried steak whatsoever. I asked the server about the gravy and the extra salad dressing and he assured me it was all there. I also ordered berry cobbler ala mode and they forgot the the ice cream which I was charged extra for. I'm so disappointed in the lack of attention they pay to the online orders. Total fail on this one

Jamie , Is always very nice makes the visit here very pleasant. Always with a smile . Always makes recommendations on the daily specials. We absolutely love the fried jalapeños Jaime style . He is very quick and helpful down to earth and very humble . Will definitely keep returning to this place.

Fantastic place to enjoy breakfast and lunch! We were greeted by our friendly waitresses, Raj, when we walked in. She accommodated our group of 6 and provided exceptional customer service! She was very knowledgeable about the menu and helped us with suggestions. The food was cooked perfectly and tasted great. They even have a little area by the register with gifts and souvenirs. Highly recommend this place!

My daughter is a regular at Trader Joe's so when I had a chance to tag along this past Monday I did. I had never been here before and i had heard of so many good things about Trader Joe's. Maybe my expectations were a bit high. When I first walked in, it reminded me of a film set. Little store with 6-7 aisles. The flower section by the front door is pretty though. It was crowded when we went, people and carts were bumper to bumper. There were a lot of workers stocking which made it hard to maneuver through the store. Also when my daughter was getting fruits, the lady who was stacking the strawberries just went in front of my daughter without saying excuse me or anything. Only one staff member, a nice man asked if there was anything he could help us with. I did get a baguette which was pretty good and two dog treats. Coming here made me appreciate my Walmart + (unlimited free deliveries to my house) My daughter still loves Trader Joe's and maybe I'd return but only when they first open!

I just love Trader Joe's I wish I could come more. Had a huge basket and a half of another basket and the guys at the registers played guess who's closest I'm $$ games they were so fast best bagging ever And Alex at the register was the closest! Makes sense he works there's lol Their fresh produce and prepackaged frozen meals are just the best. Orange Chicken and beef and Broccoli just to name a few of my favorites

Always fresh flowers, produce, but the selection of wine is amazing and variety 👌. And if you're not satisfied return it will they will trade out for another one or get something else. Happy shopper here.

The check out counter girl was super efficient and professional as she organized my frozen,fresh,dry,all other items putting them into my thermal lunch box and into my cooler box fitting them perfectly. When I got home I was amazed how perfectly she fit everything into the respective containers. I did not have to lift my pinky to do anything. 't Was amazing!! THANK YOU!!

This is an Aldi's with pretentions. It's fine once in a great while to find a special item, but as a regular shop? No thanks. The store is cramped, the selections are poor, and they really set aside way too much space for their not-great processed frozen foods.

Found all sorts of great (very reasonably priced) bagged frozen dinners. Had the Teriyaki Chicken on a bed of brown rice. Very enjoyable. And, dessert might be a carrot cupcake w/cream cheese frosting. Thank you Trader Joe's. Meg & Tommy

I really like shopping at Trader Joe's for the selection and reasonable prices. The staff is always friendly and ready to help find an item or answer a question. The one area that frustrates me is with discontinued items and while I understand the need to introduce new items, it seems that some of the old staples fade away, never to be seen again. Gorgonzola crackers, sesame honey sticks, dried orange cranberries, Tempting Trail mix - Gone Now!

We wanted to enjoy a good time with the family. My daughter's birthday is today, and we went to this place to celebrate. It was simply disgusting. What a terrible time, horrible. I don't think it's a good place to spend time with the family. A bug on my plate of food. Please take care of hygiene and the health of the customers. Disappointing.

We had the Top Sirloin Steak at Black Angus — it was the best steak we had during our vacation in the Western USA (October 2025)! Maria took excellent care of us and gave great recommendations — the same goes for the manager. We really enjoyed our visit and will definitely come back. Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭

Nice attentive staff, good food and average value for money. I ordered: - Filet mignon (perfectly tender and properly cooked to order. Good taste from the grill) - Green beens (standard green beans. Good, but nothing out of the ordinary) - Charred Brussel sprout (Good, nicely charred without overcooking) - Mac & Cheese (nice bake, but a bit bland) - Mashed potatoes (did not order, but was given by mistake - at no extra charge. Not much taste to this side, would do well with some butter and seasoning) - New York Cheesecake (from The Cheesecake Factory so it was as expected - very good) Total cost around 80$.

My sister-in-law and I went in to have dinner tonight. We had the turkey avocado bacon sandwich. It was juicy and delicious. The strawberry margarita was good too. We sat on the high tables in the bar and had an awesome waiter. He was kind, funny, and handsome. We will definitely go back there when I come back into town.

Our experience was great overall. Our server Andrea was attentive even though she had a party for 10+ of kids going to winter formal sitting next to us. The food and service were great, I highly recommend getting reservations. We had ours at 530pm, got there around 510pm, and did not get seated until 540pm.

Worst service I've had at any restaurant in many years. Don't go in as a single dude at the bar... you'll be ignored and left hanging. Would normally leave a decent tip...tonight, not so much. If a zero star were available here, I would have given it. Had to beg for the check. Really? C'mon folks...

I’m a traveler from Australia, I had dinner here with my partner and we enjoyed everything about this place. Our server April is one of a kind, she made us feel so comfortable, it was as if we were invited to her home for dinner, she is an absolute asset to this place. Thank you April for showing us some real American hospitality.

First time i came wit my daughter ,be participant in the wrestaling championship, i buy i tickets for the event 30 dlls each but this price is only for half day ,if you want to stay there you need pay 30 more . And desapointed with the CiF because make a lot a money for what?? I saw has a good sponser's like,Pepsi ,Cannes and anothers business and the kids don' t received anithing where is the money collected. Because some schools be part the LAUSD don"t provide a financial support for the students ,like my daughter ,my family pa8d evering

It was great stadium layout. Not too big that you would get lost In, but just big enough that you need to keep track of where you're at. Plenty of bathrooms everywhere, lots of food options, not so many options on beer, just light piss beer Line wasn't bad getting in since knew weezy and juvenile would be late Sound was off in section 109 Good seats everywhere Definitely would get different seats next time

Didn't expect to go to this venue but didn't read the preseason details correctly that the LA Kings preseason game against the Anaheim Ducks was being played here. Pleasant venue. Nothing outstanding but equally nothing that was a negative. Managed to find some free parking based on others descriptions of where to park. Can't imagine I'll ever be back in this part of the world, but if I was then this was a friendly arena to watch a game.

Park staff was polite and organized. The venue was amazing and set up to have a great view from any seat.

Amazing show! I'd never been to Bakersfield before [except in shackles on the prison bus], and I didn't expect such a cool city. The venue was great, the lines moved fast, and the overpriced drinks were no more overpriced than they are everywhere else. And the staff and security were cool. If it wasn't 3+ hours away from me, I'd definitely go back and see a show here again. 🍻

Wish the seats were not so close from behind you feel every kick and bump and brush by from others walking behind. But nice first time visit

We attended the Cody Jinks concert a couple of weeks ago and loved it. The venue is smaller and more intimate than I was expecting, which made for an even better show. The sound was great and we were walking distance to our hotel. The drinks are priced as you would expect and the bartenders are super cool. Made for a great night all around.

Best time to visit is when the rainfall is average to above average and the temperatures stay cool in March. Beautiful colors and if the air quality is good, the sky and water reflection looks a deep blue.

I love that this the place offers flat walking paths or if you want to challenge yourself very steep hiking hills. Everyone is friendly and it's a dog friendly area with doggy bags trash bins and then eat a little clay areas for kids or adults. There's even a bocciball court

A beautiful place to walk the outskirts of a panoramic view. Can be very hot on a summer day so make sure you have the proper amount of shade. Not a super long walk.

This was definitely the most beautiful place I visited in Bakersfield. The sunset looked amazing and there was a lot of space to walk around and relax.

Beautiful view overlooking the bluffs on Panorama drive. On the cloudy mourning that these photos were taken, the vista beyond the unincorporated part of Bakersfield, including the oil fields, country hills, the Kern river, and horse ranches below the bluffs were crystal clear and quite spectacular to see.

Love to take picture and do some walking with my dog. Nice place

I grew up in Bakersfield. We used to go down the bluffs down to the river. It's a beautiful park and walking area with the nice view of Kern county. When I come to visit, my sister, sister-in-law and I go for walks up here. We don't realize how far we're walking because we're doing a whole bunch of talking but there are markers that let you know. If you need to unwind this is the place to unwind.

Love this place, 2nd time back in 2 weeks!! The chefs are funny & entertaining, food is delicious and the service is top notch!!

Really good food, chef was funny and super engaged with everyone while putting on his show. The waitresses kept our drinks topped off at all times.

Thought 13 maybe too many to handle but they catered for us very well and the show was enjoyed by all and mezmarized the grandkids in the party. Well worth the time and money.

By far an amazing experience as well as an amazing taste in their food. The steak and chicken were well seasoned and cooked as requested. The portions were just right in order to not over eat nor feel as if you need a wheel barrow to be carried out. I will surely be returning as well as recommending my peers. Thank you staff and chef for a pleasant lunch.

Went for my birthday dinner. It was hard to squeeze our entire party around the table, but I guess we should have asked how many people fit when we made the reservation. The food was pretty good, although the chicken ended up being overcooked. The shrimp were delicious, and the steaks were good, but a little thin! The rice was really good.

I used to love this restaurant but lately it hasn't been up to expectations. The chefs have little to no enthusiasm lately. Not to mention when I took my father out to dinner with my fiance there was an issue over me not ordering a plate from the grill. Because I was going to eat off of my fiances plate (I'm a light eater and was ordering sushi anyways) they wanted to charge a split plate fee. So for two plates off the grill and two plates of sushi I still have to pay to split a plate?? Hope they improve soon.

I haven't been here in years, but I've always loved this restaurant. I have fond memories of lunches with friends and family, birthdays, and dinners filled with good food and entertainment. The Las Vegas rolls are excellent and the portions were good and the price was always within reason. I look forward to my next visit the next time I'm in town.

I went there for The Prime Rib and it was delicious. The rest of the food was not even mediocre in my opinion. The shrimp came out over cooked and rubbery. It was taken back to bring me some more that needed to be deveined. I just gave up trying on the shrimp and took the loss on those too. I don't eat shrimp that has not been cleaned properly. The mushrooms I know came from a jar and not a good brand. The salad was bag salad with 2 grape tomatoes. The fried green beans were crispy hamburger stand quality. Oh lord please don't start me on the burnt overly sweet chicken wings. And I asked the waitress how they cooked the wings and she said fried crispy so I thought they would be plain delicious fried crispy wings with dipping sauce. NOPE not at all they were burnt sweet wings.The service was not good at all. A couple that came in after me got both their appetizers and food before me. I should have known because when I first walked in the restaurant the hostess looked at me as though I was an Alien. She told me I could find a seat in the bar area because dinning for dinner did not open until 5pm. I asked her if she could check to see if there was an empty table and she rolled her eyes and popped her lips. I then ask to see if the manager could find out and she became a little more helpful. She told me someone would be cleaning off a table for me and she never let me know when the table was cleaned I walked in the bar area and SHAZAMM there was a clean table. Then the waitress came and acted as tho she was offended by my presence. The first question she asked me was "had I been to the restaurant before". I let her know I had. Her total demeanor was just absolutely not welcoming. But she was very polite and helpful to the couple that was sitting next to me. The same couple that came in after me and was served their food before me. I would not recommend The Hungry Hunter. Oh yeah the restroom was nasty with an exposed sanitary product on the floor and trash receptacle overflowing with used paper towels. I remember when The Hungry Hunter restaurant was a great place for delicious clean prawns and steak for ALL people.

Ok.. literally just left. Service was great, once we got some. Seated quickly, then sat there for about 15 minutes with nothing happening. Then our server May appeared, just as I was about to say screw it, we're out of here. She was a hard working young lady. My steak sandwich was cooked perfectly. The wife's burger was good, but they went over board on the onion strings. Had to ask for ketchup, and I wish happy hour counted in the dining room as well. But, in summary, yah I'd go back, but not in a huge hurry to do so.

4.3/5 amazing food but service could have been better. Waited for so long to get our food but it was worth the wait. Got the prime rib, fettuccine alfredo, and stuffed mushrooms. The alfredo was creamy and flavorful would definitely come back again just for that.

Impressed by the level of service, above and beyond what was expected! Food was great. I ordered: - Loaded potato skins (quite good) - Filet mignon 10oz (cooked to perfection with good side of garlic redskin potato and deep fried green beans) - Cheese cake (very nice cheese cake with a little crunch from the nut-topping) . Total cost 108$

While the prime rib was impeccable the ribs eye and New York strip were slightly overcooked and a bit too bland in comparison to other steak meals I had on this trip. I also wouldn’t recommend the cocktails. The place itself is beautiful though.

Very nice place, beautiful. The porterhouse steak was cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious. The fried greenbeans were a great match. I enjoyed the Hunters Punch cocktail and the carrot cake was very good, and huge! The service was polite and efficient. I pigged out and took half of it home, so it was actually 2 full meals for me.. a most excellent deal. I will definitely be back again. 5 stars.

We were extremely lucky we were passing through this place at happy hour! Otherwise there was no way we could have afforded their regular meals but we got the half price bar food happy hour specials and everything was delicious and it was 40 bucks instead of near 100. Popular places though... Must have loyal locals... definitely out of our budget but we gave it 5 stars.

Today is my second time dining at Mango Haus on Truxton. I had the seafood tacos which were amazing and a few weeks ago I had their chilaquiles for breakfast. The flavors are to die for - fresh, flavor packed and Blue Zones inspired. The service is friendly and attentive and the ambiance is relaxed and colorful. Definitely one of my new favorite spots!

Mango Haus is hands-down one of Bakersfield’s gems. The vibe hits you the moment you walk in — bright, stylish, and welcoming (the vintage phone booth and big mirror are such cool touches). We’ve ordered a variety of dishes and every one has been a hit. The tropical fruit bowl was as beautiful as it was delicious — fresh pineapple, berries, mango, and pomegranate with a smooth base that felt light yet satisfying. The guacamole with chips and pickled onions was packed with flavor and freshness, and the patatas bravas were perfectly crispy with a rich, bold sauce. The chilaquiles, topped with a fried egg and avocado, were full of flavor and paired with beans and a fresh mango pico — an absolute standout. Service has always been friendly and attentive, and you can tell there’s real care behind both the food and the atmosphere. Bakersfield really needed a place like this — creative, fresh, and full of heart. Highly recommend Mango Haus for breakfast, brunch, or just a relaxing bite with friends.

While this place was so popular for Sunday brunch that we had to wait a few minutes to be seated, it was well worth our patience! The seating combines comfy benches behind most tables and chairs on the middle “walking” side, and the layout of the dining area was easy to navigate. Best recommended for groups of 4 or less, so you can hear each other talk. The interior was fresh and appealing, but the space was loud with the full crowd when we stopped in. The staff here was friendly and helpful, and the food was delicious! Our group of 3 ordered an appetizer to share, 3 main dishes, and 3 mixed drinks to celebrate a birthday. Everything was terrific, and the Oaxacan Nachos were so generously heaped that we ran out of room trying to eat everything (along with our mains, of course)! Fairly priced for a modern restaurant and with MANY options for every palate (and clearly-labeled vegetarian fare if you like that), we found plenty to enjoy and look forward to our next visit.

Took my mom here for Mother’s Day and ordered the cafe de olla, mole appetizer, chilaquiles, and seafood tacos. Everything was tasty. I especially appreciate the vegan options.

I spent 1.5 hours here while I waited for a train. Fantastic food and drinks. Casual traveler friendly seating (space for bags) and walking distance from the station. This will be my go-to spot every time I take the train out of Bakersfield.

Plenty of vegan options. Got the vegan haus breakfast plate it was delicious. The berry jam for the toasts was to die for. Never had a cinnamon coffee before and it was a good experience. The waiter was very nice, great service. The place itself was pleasant, comfortable seats. Everything was clean. The background music was good and not too loud. Honestly would recommend!

First time in Mango Haus. I really recommend you to try it out. The service, food and Ambient is very good. The Pesto Pasta was really delicious. The Turkey and Beef burgers are very delicious too. Come and give it a try you will enjoy it. Thanks for your great service. Keep up the good work.

I've been waiting in this drive thru for 23 minutes already and still haven't got my food they haven't even let me pay yet I've been at the window this whole time, then there's one car behind me and three people sitting inside, the guys just standing there looking stupid and the woman in the kitchen is making like 100 items and they are all just sitting on the counter while dude does nothing. Now I got the person behind me honking.

There was a bad sewage smell by the entrance. It was very overpowering. Thankfully, away from the entrance, it was better. The staff were friendly. We got the order to go. The parking lot is a little tight, but common for that area.

Absolutely the worst Arby’s ever. I ordered 5 French dips and they took forever to give me my order and once I pulled over for my family and I to eat the French dips I noticed that the hardly put any meat inside and the juice was cold and jelly like. I have NEVER experienced anything like this in any Arby’s I’ve been to. I DON’T RECOMMEND THIS ARBY’S.

The sandwich was great! I'm not a fan of mustard that was my only issue with the sandwich. The turkey ham, lettuce, tomatoes, onion was really fresh and crunchy. My fries were a bit stale :/ I recommend the turnover desert. My favorite is the chocolate second is the apple. If you want to give it a try :)

Saw the manager helping a woman who seemed to be having a mental health issue. The manager was so kind to this woman.

The food was horrible. Curly fries were hard, the burger was small and nasty. It taste like someone poured a whole beer on my burger. The food is overly priced. First time here and definitely my last.

Service is always great. However food is a little inconsistent. We usually get the same thing, brisket sandwiches for him and a grand turkey for me. My grand turkey I have to take apart and put back together to eat at least half the time but it's always good. Just messy. This last visit was a little more ridiculous. I tried one of their new Italian sandwiches and was very disappointed. The sandwich was smashed at the bottom of the bag and was leaking everywhere before the person at the window handed us bag. The meat was mostly fat, which I discarded most of. The rest was so soggy and messy I could barely take a bite. Just disappointed.

I purchased an item Sept 1, i tried to return it Sept 3 1030-1130 am and Patty at customer service said it looked like we had used it six months and tried to return it. the item was in its original box with receipt.it worked we tried to install and realized we needed something else.

I don’t which genius did that . Put all batteries at Register 17 ? So you have to get in line if want buy just one single battery

It's in a very nice location. I was only there to park my car to get picked up for an event. I didn't have any problems with my car being parked there for a few hours.

The only reason I'm giving five stars is because they belong to DORIS the employee at this store! Thank you Doris every other employee was walking around us because they seen us waiting for them we waited for 30 minutes for one item! Until Doris saved us! She needs a raise and was already working in kids clothes I pulled her!

I actually went there on the 4th of July right before closing and needed help unlocking a cabinet to get a work shirt for the next day and the lady who was stocking the shoes I asked her if she could page who ever to help me and without hesitation she replied that she can help me and she can unlock it for me and she stopped what she was doing walked over with me and patiently help me pick out what I needed after she helped me she went right back to work she was actually sweet polite and patient I was able to get what I needed before thay start pushing you out to the registers I usually don't get off till late so I'm always going to stores at the last minute and most of the time I can never find anybody to help me they always pass it to some one else or sometimes completely ignore you or pretend to not speak any English which sucks because I usually only have a few minutes to get several things that I need and because nobody will help me I end up getting pushed out of the store before I get everything for the next work day I don't know personally I would give that lady a raise compared to 90% of the people that I've talked to she is the only reason I gave u 4 stars otherwise it would have been one or two forgive the long review

Staff was actually helpful here. A very strange occurrence for Walmart. Store had decent selections and lines were not bad

Great reasonable prices. Never fails me. Ftiendly associztes who are polite * helpful.

This was our first time at Luigi's, and we really had a nice experience. The food was delicious and service was perfect. The interior of the restaurant is really cool with lots of pictures all over the walls. We went there for lunch. My grandson had the monte burger with homemade lemonade that was delicious. I had the small Giovanni gourmet salad, so yummy. Next time we go, we plan to try some pasta dishes.

Luigi’s is an awesome Bakersfield establishment with over 115 years of history. If you’re planning on dining here, make reservations or come before 11am. Huge restaurant that fills up very quickly. The patio is a great place to hang out on a pleasant day. Try the daily specials. My favorite is Thursday the Italian Dip. Divine.

This is one of the best places I have ever eaten! If you are anywhere close to this area you owe it to yourself to stop by! You won’t be disappointed.

Got the monte burger, I give it 3/5. It was alright, I wouldn’t order it again. I feel like it just lacked taste. I haven’t had the chance to try other items but would come back again just for the vibes.

Darian was our server. He was very attentive and great customer service. Everyone employee there looked out for each other and the prices weren't expensive like I thought.I definitely will be coming back.

Yummy Yummy Yummy!!! Went to have lunch on a Saturday afternoon. It was definitely busy and we had to wait about 45 minutes but once we were seated, the food was absolutely delicious and well worth the wait.

First of all if you are planning on enjoying this restaurant during a weekend day please reserve as delays are usually very long. We ordered a New york stake, green/white pastas and a side salad. We also ordered some a ravioli plate. They start you off with some very plain sourdough.. and no oils or sauces to start with. I was told some simple olive oil for my appetizer was extra cost. The steak was completely burnt even though I had ordered it as medium-well. The seasoning was great I have to say but the meat was just to burnt. Our pastas where delicious. Overall we liked it but it wasn't what we expected. I will be coming back to try a different dish.

A Truly Unforgettable Experience Having traveled from coast to coast over the past 30 years, we have had the pleasure of visiting countless establishments—but none have left an impression quite like Wool Growers. From the moment we stepped through the door, the warmth and kindness of the staff made us feel like part of the family. We always seek out family-owned businesses during our travels, and this gem stood out in our search. We are so grateful we found it. The food was exceptional—flavorful, authentic, and clearly prepared with great care. The portion sizes could not fit on the table. Just as impressive was the impeccable service. Every staff member was attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. We had the honor of meeting the owner and learning about the family’s rich heritage, which added a meaningful personal touch to our visit. It’s rare to encounter such heartfelt hospitality, and we truly cannot express how thankful we are for the experience. In three decades of travel, we have never encountered hospitality of this caliber. This establishment is a shining example of what makes family-owned businesses so special.

Came in for lunch came out with course meal instead Free soup, salsa, bean. Just mix them up and bread Thought we were done.... Lettuce salad and very crunchy delectable tomato salad, Free...... Fried chicken skin with garlic was the absolutely delicious and fresh fried French fries just make it the perfect combo Dunno about Bakersfield but the only reason I am in town is this restaurant

I have never had Basque food and wasn’t disappointed. Got the setup and added pickled tongue and entree of roast lamb. A bit pricey for one person, but after seeing how much good I got, I can see why. I couldn’t eat it all as a solo diner. Clean, quaint restaurant with fast and friendly service. Since I have never had or heard of basque, I can’t say authentic, but it was good food. Pickled tongue was different (it’s an acquired taste), but I ate it all. Salsa was on point and roast lamb was good.

We order ox tails and lamb chops per recommendation of the restaurant for traditional basque food. They are so good. Ox tail is so tender and tasty. It matches the rice well. The lamb chop is also good but volume is smaller and the French fries is so so. We add soup and salad. It is totally worth it. The price is not cheap but with the quality and quantity it is justified. No wonder it has so many good reviews.

Service was spot on and the employees were very polite and helpful. It was my first time eating Basque food, and with a little guidance, it was a wonderful experience. The soup, beans, salsa, salad, Filet of Sole, fries, spaghetti, carrots, and bread were all awesome. They just KEPT bringing food. Alot of new and exciting flavors, very savory. 10/10 reccomend, can’t go wrong here. This local business deserves your money.

My wife has been eating basque food since she was a little girl growing up in Bakersfield. Until last night I had never been. It did not live up to the hype. I ordered tritip for my main which was awesome but everything else was blah! The waiter could not be bothered to keep our water pitcher filled. We asked for more but all he did was remove one of the pitchers. Never brought it back. Then came the soup. Blah. Then the beans, ok! Bread followed which was ok. How do you screw up bread? The salad, just leaf with a vinaigrette sauce. Then came the plate of cut carrots. For real? Last but not least….a plate of French fries. Then the bill. Not really worth what we got in my opinion but it made my wife happy. Needless to say, I’d experienced basque and I won’t be back. Much more food at the local steak house.

vegetables soup good. salsa good spicy and fresh. Beans good, creamy. Ox stew good, tender soft with a bit carrots sweet flavor. Fries good.

This theater is beautiful but has limited parking so come early to get the closest parking near the entrance. The seats are comfortable and has amazing AC. The event itself was beautiful but the security kept repeating that photos and videos weren’t allowed and that got a bit annoying. But overall it’s an amazing experience with a beautiful place that dates back to the 1930’s so that’s cool. Note: The ballet company themselves didn’t allow photos or videos each event is different so depending on the event you are attending you’ll be able to have the choice to have your phone out if they say so or not.

Just saw Morrissey the other night. Great intimate and easy to navigate theater. The pit area is small, so it's not too crowded, which was perfect for me.

Went to our very first show here tonight, for The Rocky Horror Picture Show 50th anniversary screening, and it was INCREDIBLE!!! The Velevet Darkness was so awesome that we want to see everything they do! Heather was SO impressive!!!! Moving on that stage like she was born for it! Robin, Echo, and KYLE were KILLER!!!!! And Shay, who works for the actual Fox Theater MADE OUR NIGHT!! She went above and beyond to ensure we had the BEST experience and we WILL be back based on how fantastic she was! If I have another kid, they will be named Shay!! Seriously, if you plan to attend a show, go, and have the time of your life! ♡♡♡♡

The Historic Bakersfield Fox Theater, November 4, 2024 "Inclusion Films" Presents it two Christmas movies & it's always free to the public. So I came to see the movies because my nephew works there at "Inclusion Films" & he's an editor & he's been there a very long time first through the schooling part & now working for Dale & Joey Talvota. Dale is so awesome with all of the students with different disabilities & his staff is also! Thank You so very much Joey Talvota for doing this & to The Historic Bakersfield Fox Theater for always hosting the "Inclusion Films" with much love & respect! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐'s & 💯%+ Great Job! 😎👍 P.S. Don't forget the 🍿 popcorn because it's one of the best around & plus a nice cold drink & a candy to go along with it!

We drove 3 hours for a Mariachi concert of Los Camperos de Chuy Guzman. The place is nice but the seats are kinda small and not very comfortable if you're a large person. But we enjoyed the show of Los Camperos. My wife and I have been enjoying their presentations whenever they're in our surroundings.

We just saw Brad Williams. He was great! However, I DO NOT like fox theater. I had to use the restroom and was rushed out. My group was waiting for me and they were pushed out. I wanted to get something to support Brad's family/show but was not allowed to. We were even going to wait pure turn but nope. And it was way to hot.

Great venue. Lots of history, and there are good reasons why. Starting with the external "Hotel California" vibe with the neon, white masonry and palm 🌴. Cool and somewhat decadent inside architectural features may have contributed to the fantastic sound. Sightlines are good and ticket prices are decent. Entry and exit were quick. Went to see Blackberry Smoke. Awesome show from the Smoke as always. Miles Miller opened. I'd go see that act again. I'd not hesitate to go see another show at the Fox.

I went to this place because I have been searching for a healthy juice that was similar to what I have tried in Mexico. I am glad I was able to try this store. Ally was the one who attended to me the first time I came here. She is very knowledgeable about the juices and its purpose. I like her attitude and enthusiasm. Her energy is very positive. I admire people like her and makes me wanna go back to the store. Aside from the drink and food which is excellent. I will continue to go back to this place because of the welcoming atmosphere and great customer service.

Drinks are amazing and all organic. Service was great always amazing conversation on my way to work stop here and grab a beet juice booster for the day. And can never go wrong with a green juice to give your immune system a good boost ! Other places service is usually terrible and drinks aren’t fresh enough this tops it 5 stars !

I love the fresh juices and organic products available in the store. I appreciate the variety of diet foods offered for people on strict diets, and the store is very clean. They also have seating inside.

Wonderful scenery and great customer service staff was very cordial and inviting and helpful. Met the owner of the store was very inviting and they try to market local artists in the hallways and have a very inviting colorful and atmosphere.. I highly recommend this local health food store to anyone who's looking for a healthy alternative, from smoothie sandwiches juices and or any kind or health food products and supplements..

My favorite place, i recommend to all my clients to get their organic and healthy juices / smoothies or even yummy soups from here Nice and friendly… highly recommended

I went in the morning during my break, the guy making the juice took a long time to give me 2 juices(12 min), I purchase a vegan chicken salad, when I came back and eat the salad there was a bug in my food half way done, looks like a little roach, just be aware of this place hygiene might not be the best. They did refund me my money for the salad.

Long overdue review. This establishment is an asset to the city. Vegan, healthy options. Gluten-free vegan hot dishes are served daily. The smoothies/protein drinks are exquisite. Fridays they offer vegan sushi which has weaned me off the traditional sushi. Their bio coffee alternative is wonderful.

The Arizona Cafe, an Old Town Kern institution for over 70 years, offers solid, traditional, and flavorful food. The service is friendly, speedy, and attentive. The breakfast counter provides a fun way to interact with your party or others and doubles as a bar. The cool vibe makes it definitely worth checking out!

I always enjoy dropping into this historical landmark with my old compadre. Lots of history at this location. . Recently we both had the Chili Verde plate with fresh flour tortillas and rice and beans . The food is very authentic. However there is a little heat on the chili verde ,but it’s always extremely delicious . Our sever, Marian was attentive and provided excellent service . I highly recommend this landmark in Old Town Kern for a wonderful dining experience.

Came to try the chile verde huevos rancheros and the menudo. Food was delicious although the huevos ranchero threw me off as I was not used to having them like this with the chile verde. Place was packed and service was great.

Stopped in at Arizona Cafe hoping for a nostalgic experience, but was left disappointed. I ordered the Chile Verde burrito and was served a rubbery, child-sized portion that hardly justified the $20 price tag. To make matters worse, someone joked about me ordering a kid's meal—awkward and unnecessary. While the place might have history, it’s clear they’re relying too much on nostalgia and not enough on quality. With so many better Mexican food options nearby, it’s hard to justify a return visit unless they make some real changes—fast.

DOS: 04/28/2025 Food: Ordered the taco and Chili Verde burrito, with a side of flour tortillas. OMG this food was DEEEELICIOUS! The tortillas tasted like homemade. The chili verde is spicier than other around town, so be forewarned. Drink: They serve Pepsi products and their drinks are very good also. I had three lol Service: the waitress we had was very attentive and nice. I gave atmosphere 4 stars only because the area. I had to walk by 2 homeless people, broken bottles, and trash on the sidewalk to get there. Inside was clean and packed full of happy customers, though!

This is a hole-in-the-wall spot in Bakersfield that you'd drive right past if you happened to be going through that area. Parking options are not great, not the greatest area of town, (homeless in the area) but their food is OUTSTANDING!! By far the absolute best (non-green) Chile Verde I've ever had in my life! My family and I had come to this location many years ago, and even years later, it didn't disappoint!! I will offer two suggestions if you decide to try it; firstly, I hope you like spicy, because it's packing HEAT! secondly, you'll likely get bones in whatever you order that has chile Verde, so chew carefully! That aside, it has immense flavors without being overpowered by any one flavor. It's perfect to pour over anything on the menu, and even makes a great dip for chips! All I'm saying, is that if you find yourself in Arizona Cafe, you HAVE TO at least ask for a taste of their Chile Verde!! I wish they were open after 2pm!!

Amazing as always. Food is so finger licking good.

Great service. Beautiful restruant! I had high hopes for the food. The pot beans were just shy of done. The reason why ce was excellent. The blacken chicken taco; were full of chicken. The chicken was not tender the tortilla was not crispy yet not soft which made them tough. I ate the inside of the taco and left the corn tortilla behind. I'll be back and give them another try.

I had the chicken mole enchiladas. They were deelicious. It was Friday evening they were pretty busy. I think our server was just great. Overall a great experience. Just remembered that red pepper is more of a fine dining experience.

Recently met some good friends for lunch at the Red Pepper. Upon being seated by Rene the pleasant hostess, we were waited on by the efficient hostess, Tracey. While I did not have a margarita , the margaritas here are excellent . I opted for a cold Diet Coke with a shot of grenadine( it was excellent ) Our lunch was promptly brought to us. The lunch was an Olympic Club hamburger dog, with a generous serving of French fries and bowl of filling hot chil beans . Gilbert and the crew did a wonderful job with a great lunch. While the Restaurant has new ownership , on my visit it still has the same local touch as the original Pepper. Thank you Gilbert and Red Pepper Staff for the wonderful lunch! Great place to dine!

The food here on the Sunday brunch menu is amazing. They offer an awesome variety of interesting food options including deep fried bacon wrapped shrimp, lamb chops, crepes and many other dishes you wouldn't expect from a Mexican restaurant. The Sunday brunch includes bottomless mimosas and champagne, Mexican pastries, soup and a fruit bowl with each entree. They also have some of best salsa I've ever had, included complimentary with chips when you’re seated. I had the half rack of lambs with mashed potatoes and both were delicious and the lamb was cooked to medium-rare perfection. The service was also exceptional. My fiancé and I sat in the bar area and there seems to be many regulars, as our waitress greeted many patrons with hugs and knew exactly what they wanted without them having to order. I wish I remembered our waitresses name, she deserves credit for the awesome service she provided. She even gave my fiancé a hug when we were leaving and invited us to return soon. We will definitely be back. This is our new favorite place to be on a Sunday morning/afternoon in Bakersfield.

My wife ordered a meal while looking at the menu. It had no description. Of bell peppers as an ingredient. When the dish arrived, she was made aware that there were bell peppers. As she is allergic to bell pepper, she informed the server, and she had asked her to just pick a round the bell peppers and that they couldn't. Redo it.

At arrival, the inside is really nice and unique. While enjoying the atmosphere I also noticed that there was a lot of dust everywhere and anywhere. Service was great. Waitresses checked on us multiple times and made sure our cups didn’t stay empty. For the food it was subpar. The enchiladas had a a weird flavor to the sauce. It really tasted like tomato sauce with some seasoning. The tortillas tasted and felt like they didn’t even heat them up and came straight out of the packaging. BUT the rice and beans were really good.

The customer service last night was one of the worst we have ever received. We were seated at a table with the floor littered with food from previous customers ( granted the restaurant was not busy when we arrived at 5 pm). The booster seat that was given to us was loaded with tried food, which I had to clean. Our waitress was more interested in talking to her co-workers in back then make sure we were satisfied. After she brought our drinks, she didn't ask if we we're ready to order, just walked away for another 5 minutes. After we ordered, she asked if we want appetizer. We replied "no", she sarcastically replied "okay". When she came around to check on us, two of us were clearly done eating, she never removed our plates. She kept retreating to the back where we can see and hear her talk away. She took our credit card before giving us a bill, into the back. We did have it on the table, but never brought the bill first. Even the two hostess we're on their phones in the front as I was waiting for my party to finish at the table. The food was good as usual and hot. But it's the workers last night that would not bring me back.
