“Firestone Grill in Bakersfield is a standout dining spot that nails a perfect blend of quality and efficiency with its conveyor-style service. The limited yet high-quality grilled meats are cooked to perfection, and the full bar offers an impressive selection of beers, making it a great pairing for any meal. I loved the self-service approach with attentive staff quietly clearing away dishes, keeping the table tidy without interrupting your experience. The design is charming, with the bar and order counter thoughtfully separated, creating a great flow. Plus, the big screen TVs make it the ideal spot to hang out with friends and catch your favorite game.
Highly recommended for any occasion!“

“This is likely the best Indian food in bakersfield.
The food here is very, very good. The food is very flavorful and not watered down like many other places.
I had the matar paneer, dal makhani, paneer paratha.
I can't wait to go back and try some other dishes.“

“Delicious food hungry Bear wonderful and nice cozy place to dine in“

“This place was truly impressive, did something I've never done before and went back for lunch the very next day becausewe couldn'tstop talking about the food. The staff was friendly, the sushi was beyond amazing, the prices were reasonable. Especially considering the quality of the fish and clearly expert sushi chefs.

Some of the best rolls were; caterpillar, Mr. Gump, Red Bull, ex-girlfriend (if you like spicy), Naruto (no rice cucumber wrapped), Kuma's special, Into the fire (flaming at your table). The unagi was great, as were bento boxes. My boyfriends spicy chicken was better than my chicken katsu so if your unsure go with spicy chicken. The jalapeño bombs were pretty spicy but so good. I couldn't stop eating them.

I lived in long beach a long time and traveled to major cities a ton for work. I've eaten at a lot of top sushi places and didn't expect to get blown out of the water here. However, it might be tied for the best sushi I've ever had. The excellent service really put it over the top the whole staff was kind, personable, and efficient. Even the hostess and sushi chefs were talkative and enjoyable.“

“Food was delicious! Service was great! I took my two young kids in there for dinner and the waitress informed me after a family walked out the door that they had paid for our dinner. What an amazing surprise and an unbelievable act of kindness! Thank you to whoever you were, I will absolutely pay it forward. 😊 ❤️“

“We discovered the Bakersfield Beer Trail by chance when we were passing through. We also made a stop at the Crusader Brewery. Richard greeted us warmly and guided us through his various brewing specialties. He offered us the chance to try some beers before we took a whole glass. We had a lot of fun and the whole range is absolutely recommendable. All the beers taste wonderful. By far the best of all the breweries we were able to visit in Bakersfield. Both his beers and Richard himself are marvelous. Many thanks for a wonderful afternoon!“

“What a special treat to discover this restaurant my first morning in Bakersfield. Delicious Chilaquiles, and a coffee made with that very special natural sugar found everywhere in Colombia, South America, Panela! Topped off with salsa music. I’ll be back.“

“The food was great but even more our server Kelly was the absolute best. Kelly was attentive and considerate. She made recommendations to us and checked on us regularly. Our water glass was always filled. She was a kind server and one of the best give come across.“

“I had an amazing dining experience at P.F. Chang's! From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting. The food was outstanding, as always—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. What made the experience even better was my server, Paul. He was attentive, friendly, and really knowledgeable about the menu. He made great recommendations and ensured that we had everything we needed throughout the meal. It's rare to find service that goes above and beyond, and Paul definitely delivered that. I’ll be returning soon for another wonderful experience. Highly recommend both P.F. Chang's and Paul!“

“Reviewed by my wife (Teng) We finally tried Saigon Bento. Their food was really so good! We got the Jurassic pho soup and it was very delicious and satisfying. We also got the Saigon Bento plate and everything in it was so tasty! But the one that stood out was the garlic noodles. It’s so flavorful! The flavors of garlic and Parmesan cheese combination was so savory! Highly recommend!“

“First time here. The service is amazing. Not overpriced at all. They were very busy, but made time to ask every table at least three times if they needed anything. I had pozole, wife had steak ranchero. Both were best in town!! I’m not kidding.

The Michelada came with carrots, celery, and lemon. Very good. A must try.“

“The ambience is so inviting I love the old look of the countertops, but most importantly, the food is absolutely fantastic. We can’t choose just one meal everything we’ve had has been excellent.“

“Hands down 🙌 this is the best poke bowl location in town!!!“

“If you want a homecooked meal, breakfast, lunch, etc. Then this is the place to go on the south side of town! The portions are generous and full of flavor!!!!Breakfast:The eggs were delicious, the bacon was for sure farm fresh, and the country-fried steak was to die for!!! It had just enough char and moisture to make you crave another bite, the gravy was the sweet spot for sure. Biscuits and gravy was its own meal and it was offered as a side ?! Sooooo good without the need to pepper or salt anything on the entire plate!They also have a classic Coffee bar where I'm sure many a deal has been struck and a story told! Quaint, with quick service and a homely vibe!“

“A good cheeseburger, crinkle fries both delicious!“

“Great food and excellent service. Our waitress was Fabulla A. Super sweet and very informative. She sold me on the Berry Burst mixed with BJ's Jeremiah Red. Sooooo delicious. I highly recommend. I had the Thai peanut noodles My fam had the chicken parm and my kiddo had wings. Everything was fresh, hot and delicious. Can't forget the Pazookie. 🤌“

“Interesting (in good sense) breakfast choices. Shakshouka was perfection. Finally, it's rare to get a sweet potato dish that tastes amazing. Don't miss Moo Creamery's version of sweet potato.“

“My husband stopped in for lunch today and got a bunch of food for us to try we have seen it before and said many times that we wanted to try it because you can smell it driving by and it smells amazing and he finally had the time.

The cheese tteokbokki was delicious! Mmmmm! I loved the cheese!!! I want to try their other dishes and the drinks. I will definitely be back soon!!!! This place is definitely worth a try!!!!! It's so good!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️“

“I really like their food; the zucchini sticks are delicious, and the breakfast burritos are tasty, they are very nice and take their time to cook the food to make sure it is cooked to healthy standards, I don't think I will ever get tired of eating here, I do hope though with the minimum wage hike to $20.00 hr. that it doesn't raise the prices to high, and have to close them down, to many small businesses and even bigger businesses are closing down now because they can't afford to pay their workers and keep the prices down where their customers can afford the food, but they are one of my favorite fast food places to eat on this side of town.“

“This is one of my favorite places to go in town~ They always have the friendliest staff and their food never disappoints! Their new yaki noodles and tazuna rolls are really great. I loved their tazuna roll because I got to build what I like in it, since I always have the hardest time choosing between what roll I want. Their tea is so refreshing to drink! I got the mango black tea and it was definitely the perfect thing to have in today's hot weather. Great place to go for a casual lunch or dinner :) <3“

“I have to say, this place serves the best pizza! The flavors are spot-on, and the quality is always top-notch. Their assortment of wines and liquor is equally impressive, especially at their wine bar, which boasts an excellent selection. The bar itself is fantastic—a great spot to unwind, enjoy a drink, and hang out with friends or even make new ones.

And if you’re a beer lover, you’re in luck! They have so many beer selections that if you can’t find it anywhere else, I’m sure you’ll probably find it here.

A special shoutout to our favorite bartender, Myles, who always goes above and beyond to make the experience even better. Kuddos to the whole team for creating such a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere! ✌🏼“

I ordered the chicken chipotle panini, a strawberry crepe and a piña colada smoothie. 10/10 on EVERYTHING. Service was amazing, the lady who served me and greeted me was so nice and that’s why I’m writing this review. Please check this place out, amazing staff, amazing food! Thank you!!“

“After leaving another area restaurant/bar due to zero service, we decided to stop into Nuestro Mexico. So glad we did. The servers remembered us even after it had been awhile since our last visit. We were greeted warmly and seated promptly. From that moment on - the food, cocktails, service was ON POINT! Best decision we made. Comfortable atmosphere in historic central Bako. Highly recommended. We’ll be back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
