I talked on the phone a few times with a person whose sounds and I imagine starts with "J." She hung up on me when I pointed out that she has told me what she can't do and when I started asking what she can do. Because, as an example, when my drink order got messed up and I had to take a Lyft to get there, as she knew, she couldn't do anything. (I was given a soda when I couldn't drink it because, as I had told her, I was sick. And DoorDash had my order down as it should have been: a Powerade. As I verified. Yet she claimed that what she saw on her end was the soda.)She also said that delivery was possible but then laughed solidly nervously when I pointed out that Baker's is contracted with DoorDash.

Life long Baker's fan. Love that they still serve Pibb. Fry serving is lacking. Paid for a large fry and it was only half filled. Perhaps the staff is having an off day, but definitely didn't get my money's worth.

Not sure what is wrong with this location. During my last visit the burger didn't even taste like bakers. It was super thin and burnt like it was reheated and sitting around for hours NOT FRESH! Sadly things my second bad experience in a row at this location. Done with this location. Hopefully not done with bakers as it was always one of my go to spots for years!

WOULD'VE given Bakers a 5 star rating 100 times over, as I've been a life long customer, but they got RID of their shredded beef & then their BARBACOA. Did it not sell enough? Not enough profit? Surely the best solution is not to just stop using it! They tried to introduce carnitas instead but that was a flop. Now it appears the only options are ground beef or chicken, so what gives!? Bring BACK the BARBACOA or at least the shredded beef (Actually, are they are the same thing?). PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!!! I want to order a shredded beef burrito and "make it big" (adds lettuce, tomato, and sour cream) or even better the barbacoa quesadilla. It was so good! Still... The Tacos are great. (Tip - ADD extra cheese). The burgers are great. Fries are great. Bean n cheese burritos are great. Just give us back the barbacoa.

if i could give 0 stars i would. about a week ago. my daughter and i sat in this drive through for over 30 minutes waiting for our meal. keep in mind it was two cars ahead of us and no other cars parked in the lot. when we finally got to the window the kind cashier apologized for the wait and after i took a peek inside i saw she was running the whole front by herself. i accepted her apology and asked who else was working. she replied "just me and one other person" and i was in shock! this little teenage girl was practically running this place all by herself? after i paid i saw her running from back to front with bags. she gave me my food and it was surprisingly fresh and hot. i told her how sorry i am for her and she just smiled and didn't say anything and wished me a good rest of my day and i left. we parked in front to eat. i'm sure this is a management issue. they're not properly scheduled! my heart aches for the girl. hope this changes! and fast.

We decided to go to Baker's Drive-Thru for a Budget Meal$ and it's definitely worth the money because it's delicious! I can't complain about the food. The 6.99 Budget meal (cheese quesadilla, taco, fries and drink) is great!!Parking: It had plenty of parking spots when we arrived here.

A Riverside staple. Such a unique place to relax and have multiple choices of classic favorites! If I see Bakers I stop!
I went in yesterday to purchase some late lunch on the go, and when they offered me to try out the new Teriyaki chicken burger, I was hooked and said to myself to give it a go. However, as I was about to eat my meal, I noticed that my burger wasn't set up properly like how it was described to me, and by the taste of it did in fact tasted plane and simple as if they had placed no effort on it. Sadly, apart from it I also order three different types of burritos to complete my meal and they too lack the quality in taste. Sadly, their prices are ridiculously high for an affordable meal and I ended having to pay close to $30 for low cost meals. So consumers beware of their food quality here.

Many years since I've stopped at a Bakers and remembered they had Taco Burgers. Before I opened the wrapper mentioned that the bun seem a little hard. Maybe it was grilled??..wrong it was just old. Ended up throwing it away. Won't be stopping

I decided I wanted to experiment and ask the cashier upfront about the least expensive thing with the most calories as I had 45 minutes before the next bus stop. They said it was the Chicken Asado, that was probably the one of the more expensive things with the least amount of calories as it was 470 calories for 5.35$ compared to a combination burrito with 600ish calories for 4.55$ so I'm assuming they fucked up the math or relied on anecdote. A little incompetence but that was out of their paygrade, I didn't mind much really but then they took about 10-15 minutes or so for about one burrito and that burrito still had the some of chicken bone inside, the materials itself weren't bad and I like how the food comes together but I'm not quite sure if the food server was on a killing mission with that carelessness. My other experiences weren't horrible but often mediocre. The price is that of an upper middle class fast food joint the quality is typically a little bit below that in my opinion as someone that works in one and there's a preferable choice of a Del Taco but the vibe really isn't the same idk.

The guy at the window gave us alot of the habanero ketchup after we asked him for extra!! He was a guy with a skull tattoo on his arm. The drive thru was a bit slow but I didn't mind since I also work at a coffee chain. I'm sure they were just understaffed for the dinner rush. Thank u for the extra ketchups again!!

Whenever I travel south...I have to hit this joint. Better than in and out and cost
