“Truly enjoyed this culinary masterpiece.I stumbled across this gem while searching for a Valentines location for my wife and I. While Valentines reservations weren’t available I was able to secure a reservation on the 10th of February.Horse in the Alley is located where Maxwell’s used to be. Immediately upon entering I was greeted by an attendant who took my name to verify my reservation. In the initial room there is a small bar and a small seating area. Very chic and fashionable.Upon seating my waitress materialized to take my drink order. Both my wife and I are sober but they have an extensive list of wines and spirits to choose from. I had ice tea while she had water. Bread and butter was delivered by the attendant.After a brief review of the menu I decided upon the rib eye, rice pilaf and vegetables while my wife opted for one of three cuts of filet, rice pilaf and vegetables.The food was delivered and in a syllable “wow.” My taste buds had known weeks of disappointment until that lovely meal graced them. Amazing.Things to note:1. The water glasses were kept full by a very active gentleman.2. The ambience is unequaled by any other steakhouse in Bakersfield.3. Casual attire appeared acceptable. However, it’s a fine dining experience so I suggest playing the part.4. The owner was mingling amongst the tables. He was both kind and amiable.Conclusion:From today forward I will be taking the wife to Horse in the Alley for our date nights when preference is steak. Indeed, I have already established my next reservation and I hope that you do as well.“
“Whatvlooks like.it should be an old strip club turned out to be a cool steak house. Drinks are good, service is good and food is just as good as the above. Had the stuffed chicken. Unfortunately it's a chicken cordon bleu. Nothing special when it could be so much more. Don't get me wrong it was good for what it was but just nothing that stood out as stupendous. Anyway overall it's a great spot and look forward to returning to this place.“
“They have a half price luncheon deal that is perfect ?. I had the cheese burger with a baked potato and it was not a half price burger! It was every bit as good as the last steak I had there. 100% recommend this place for a great meal at a great price with great service and great atmosphere. Thank you Hungry Hunter. ??“
“Got in quickly with our reservation. Do to the state wrestling tournament they were super busy but our server was awesome. The only problem we had was we didn't get our appetizer but she took care of it from the bill. Next time we're hear we'll definitely be back.“
“We liked most of the food. One steak was under seasoned and overcooked and one baked potato wasn't hot and the cheese on it never melted. The person with a sweet potato said it was good. They had a few new specials to choose from and the prices for those were reasonable.“
“I had the beef rib eye steak and grilled shrimp with a ceaser salad and caramelized onions on my steak. I ordered my steak medium rare, which was cooked correctly. The caramelized onions were delicious, and the shrimp were cooked perfectly. The ceaser salad, on the other hand, was not very good. Not enough dressing, and the dressing wasn't very tasty, but over all my meal was good and I would go back.“
“We were there by chance on our road trip and were looking for a rodizio/steakhouse and came across this tasteful restaurant and have to say...The food was great, the meat was excellent and the service was very friendly and accommodating - we had a lovely, enjoyable evening - absolutely recommended! ?“
