Check out the old Bakersfield Californian newspaper; the weather report cracks me up. Alejandro makes you feel like family and Cynthia makes you feel like you have been the best of friend for years!! Oh and you can't forget the Bartender, Tony, master of drink mixology! It's really a true Bakersfield experience. Don't miss out on their sister restaurant Camino Real, best tacos for you Tuesday and the Margaritas are amazing!! Get your Bakersfield eat on!!

"Walk up window. Ordered the dinner family meal. 1 pound of tritip and 1 pound of pulled pork. Also ordered rack of ribs, pork. They have the best mac and cheese EVER! I was happily satisfied with all the food. Next time, hopefully they'll have brisket!"

Bravo Farms Traver

★★★★☆ 3.8 (683) • $$

"Stumbled upon this charming vintage cheese factory and farm combo tucked off the side of the 99, a fun and family-friendly roadside attraction. What caught my attention the most was the fully climbable treehouse, adding a whimsical touch to the setting. Another treat was the homemade fudge, and I'm not necessarily big on fudge, but this was exceptional and they offered samples which is always a huge plus. The customer service and friendliness of the staff made the whole experience that much more memorable.The indoor cafe and snack sections offer plenty of options, including varieties of jerky, popcorn, nuts...etc. The ambiance is relaxed, with a rustic charm that invites you to unwind and enjoy the surroundings. And let's not forget the delightful farm animals--donkeys, peacocks, birds, and sheep--all adding to the enchanting atmosphere of this unique spot. Whether you're stopping by for a snack or to explore the outdoors, Bravo Farms offers a sweet escape and break from the traffic--definitely worth checking out!"

Salty's BBQ & Catering

★★★★☆ 3.8 (472) • $$

"I wanted something healthy and I was really craving some barbecue. Parking in back is plentiful but the lot can get a bit muddy when it rains. They have large smokers outside that fill the air with delicious barbecue smells that instantly hits you when you arrive. Tried the Tri-tip salad the first time and it really hit the spot. I ended up coming back just to try the chicken salad also. Both were really great. The meat to salad ratio was just about right. I would definitely come back. The smoke and flavors of the meat were really stellar and the service was friendly. I would definitely recommend if you're looking for something to satisfy your BBQ cravings."

Angry Barnyard BBQ

★★★★☆ 4.2 (275) • $$

"Delicious downtown bbq! This place is small with a few tables inside and outside and just a few employees. I had the big hoss sandwich with Mac and cheese. I would have done without the pimento cheese spread and pickles, so I know that for next time. The brisket itself was flavorful and delicious and a large portion. Bun was yummy too and mac and cheese was great. It was a great value in my opinion about $15 total not including a drink, for the amount of meat you get I thought it was a good deal these days, I've spent the same amount on a deli sandwich."

Prime Time BBQ, Butcher Shop & Catering

★★★★☆ 4.4 (228) • $$

"Went for lunch on a Thursday, it was very busy so that was a good sign that the food must be very good. Well I was right.We had the lunch special Brisket sandwich with fries and bottomless soda fountain drinks.Sandwich was awesome! With pickles and a little coleslaw with sides of BBQ sauce and salsa.Service was friendly, fast and efficient. We will be back again."

Grill Masters BBQ

★★★★☆ 3.5 (355) • $$

"Absolutely the best barbecue in Clovis. The way they smoke their meats and season them are outstanding. I would recommend them for catering too."

Grapewood Grill

★★★★★ 4.8 (186) • $$

"This place should be packed from open to close. The fact that they don't have a larger place is beyond me. When you go, don't judge the place by the looks. The food speaks for itself and it speaks wonders. The guys in there are genuine people who actually care about the food. Good job you guys."

Kalbi King Korean BBQ & Sushi

★★★★☆ 3.5 (339) • $$$

"The food is pretty good, service is decent, our server was kind. What we did not appreciate was the yelling in the back kitchen that was happening when we arrived. It seems the bosses are a bit, rude, too staff. The front area was empty, we waited a while to be seated, the lady at the front ignored us, it was a waiter that took our name. Front area was disorganized, for some reason there's a lot of bottles empty? In the past, we have been here a couple of times, I do feel like we are liking it less. I have taken people here for their birthday, they don't even give courtesy desert as most restaurants do. We have also experienced managers going to our table multiple times to look at the portions we are being served of meat, to a waitress being followed by one of them.It feels as if the working conditions of employees may not be the kindest. Will likely not come back because we like to go out to enjoy and hang with family and friends, not to hear others get yelled at by a boss."

Blue Table Thai Cuisine

★★★★★ 4.5 (203) • $$

"Very generous portions! And delish. Very hot - perfect for a cold winter day! Had the fried tofu and yellow curry. Very tasty! Their medium-level spice was quite mild to this ex-Angeleno. Could only eat half of my meal, so will enjoy my seconds tomorrow. Although the food and service were great, Blue Table lost one star for the basic, takeout Ambiance - a few plants and softer lighting would make it more inviting as a dining room."

Texas Cattle

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (331) • $$

"First, I just started my period today, so please take this with a grain of salt. First, the people are great! The food is great. The price fair for high quality food. So I guess my only gripe...so just be forewarned, they have gone to stand in line and order. Then go to your table. Otherwise a high class place, but for me that was a super low style move. I guess, welcome to the AV. So if your particular like me who needs peace and quite, you won't like standing in line behind every Tom, Dick and Harry, whose wife is a Susan, waiting for them to ask the 13 most stupid questions. Of course this comes while you are sandwiched behind some Loud Tom who is talking so loud on his phone reading the entire menu to his wife Susan, on the other end. I could barely hear the order taker or think straight. If I was really in Texas and could have shot the second Tom, I would've. That all said, the dude who brought me my beer and more limes was so kool i had to change this whole review to just beach about this one change I did not consent too, but here I am. And cuz of the beer dude, I upped my star closer to what they deserved. Ciao."

K-BOB

"I made a reservation via Yelp, went super smooth. I even called ahead to check hours and they were very friendly. Tucked in a corner of the Lancaster Marketplace.The food.is about $40 a person and up, depending on what plan you get. Loved the BEEF BULGOGI, My hubby enjoyed the thin pork belly. The plain rice was good.Miss was good. The fried rice was.... different, kind of tasted like pop corn. The endless meat trays and sauces were fantastic Bathrooms were a but dingy but cleaned up.. The eating area is well cleaned and set nice. Lots of space and a very nice staff.The whole staff helped us out tonight, they met my husband's allergy needs and filled us all up.I can not wait to return!!"

Q and Q Hawaiian BBQ

★★★★☆ 3.6 (183) • $

"Okay so it's been a while since I stopped eating their food. Thought I'd give it a try again. Price wise it's reflecting the bad economy. $20 or more for a meal with beef. Ribs and Beef Combo. Okay the flavor was there but sadly they ran out of BEEF so of course my Plate was shorted... I thought my bag of food felt kind of light but when I looked, I couldn't even see the Beef unless I lifted the 2 ribs. Surprisingly, they were even skimpy on the rice and Sallad .... It was just really weird. I mean honestly, they should have put an extra rib on the plate if the only have a couple tablespoons of Beef Left. Keep your customers happy and Satisfied and watch the Tip Jar Grow. Be honest too. Anyway, after eating at other Hawaiian BBQ places, I decided to up the Stars for this business. Hopefully next time they will not Short me on the plate."

Ahi Hawaiian BBQ

★★★★☆ 4.2 (127) • $

"Da kine Best Hawaiian bbq in Lancaster/Palmdale area. Good prices and friendly staff. Spam musubi is good but a little pricey @$6 but larger than its L&L counterpart. Split the combo w your partner and you'll be full but not stuffed. Eat it all yourself and then take a long nap."

Buckle & Boots

★★★★☆ 3.8 (88)

"Honestly can't say enough about this place. A True gem! The food=incredible! The drinks=wet! The staff (more specifically ASHLEY=best waitress in the world!) all staff incredible. Met the co-owner Tim, he was fantastic and very friendly. They not only have dance classes there, you can also learn the dances online as well! I love this place!honestly you can't NOT have a good time here! (5stars for Buckle and Boots and 5 stars for Ashley)"

TIME 2 GRUB

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (120)

"Once i seen there was a soul food spot in Lancaster I knew i had to go. First the owner is nice..over the phone and in person. Like she's appreciative of the business you are giving her. To be honest i came here 2 days in a row! First day i ordered the smothered chicken with rice, yams, mac n cheese and greens. The smothered chicken could use more gravy but i was juicy. You get 2 pieces. The yams were good and the mac n cheese was cheesy. The greens were cool after hot sauce is added. The only issue I have is the cornbread is so small. But its most and good.The second day i ordered the catfish nuggets ( i usually don't just get anyones cause a lot of people don't know how to cook catfish...if its not cooked right its slimy)But this place...omg! Seasoned perfectly and cooked perfectly. This place is definitely in my rotation! You have to check it out."

"Harris BBQ is hands down one of the best spots near my apartment. From the moment I walked in, the general manager greeted me with such friendliness that it set the tone for an amazing visit.The food? Absolutely delicious! Everything was perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and exactly what I was craving. The service was quick, and my order came out in a timely manner, which I really appreciated.If you're looking for top-notch BBQ with excellent customer service, Harris BBQ is the place to go. I'll definitely be coming back soon!"

La Cruda Mariscos & Grill

★★★★☆ 4.1 (24)

"So I stumbled upon this gem of a place hidden in Pearblossom a bit past Littlerock ... I highly recommend it if you looking for a seafood restaurant , Sinaloa style. Amazing flavor. Sashimi is a hit, ceviche crudo verde is on point. Service is just as equal as the amazing food. Michelada is perfect"

Birria Y Pollos El Guero

★★★★☆ 4.1 (23)

"I'm so happy we tried this place. The shrimp tacos are so god and they come with Baja sauce (I think you call it that) and rice and beans. There rice is flavourful too many of the rice in town is bland. Chips & salsa are good the salsa has a roasted flavour. The whole chicken was delicious, they roast it themselves. I can't wait to try other items"

G's Texas Smoke BBQ

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (25)

"Very great service. The environment is very laid back and welcoming. I ordered the ribs and they were fall off the bone tender. Tasted like very traditional Texas style bbq- I tried the brisket and it didn't disappoint."

Keanus Hawaiian BBQ

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (16)

"I haven't made a review in a while, but I had to for this place. Took a little effort to find because I didn't realize it was in a recreation center. I am from out of town, so drove past couple times. Also didn't realize that they had not opened yet. The owner Sheril was so awesome that she answered when I called for directions and agreed to accommodate me. The portions are huge easily two meals in one. Flavor is outstanding! Easily the best most authentic Hawaiian BBQ I've ever had. I didn't realize I've been eating in Fresno where I normally go is not even close to authentic like this. You got to try it I'm hooked from here on out, so yeah, home run fist pitch!"

Coconut Joe's

★★★★★ 4.7 (6)

"I came to this place for a party and was totally surprised! This place is so big and the decorations are super cute. I can't believe this place hasn't had any reviews or pictures! I love Coconut Joe's food, the tri-tip, beans and the salsa were still on point tonight, but seriously, this place is the place you wanna book for a cute party! I attended a friends surprise 75th birthday party here and was able to talk to the family about booking information. You don't have to clean anything, they provided the chairs, tables, linens, food, servers, utensils. They have fountain drinks and everyone just helped themselves. My friend gave me a tour of this place because we just used half of the place. There was a full bar and so many different sitting areas. Enough room for a dj and a dance floor! If you want the bar it's an extra $400 for the bartenders and security. There were three bathrooms, clean, spacious and away from any eating areas. This place is super cute guys! I couldn't believe how cute it was!"

Hot off the Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (7)

"Hands down the best decision for dinner when I don't feel like cooking. The food is delicious! They deliver and it's home made. It's Worth the wait I made a pre order a day before and got an extra drink for late delivery. I haven't had anything in Lancaster that beats them. Prices are reasonable for what you get. I ordered the crab and lobster pasta yummy I will definitely be ordering here again. They do text they menu a few days in advance. They way they work from home is the best."

Firestone Grill

★★★★☆ 4.4 • $$

"Haven't had this place in a minute! Went to the OG place in SLO and was pleasantly surprised to see a location in Bakersfield. Lol turns out they've been around for 7-8 years.Got the Tri Tip w/ added cheese, the Pig and the large sauce of onion rings. Everything including a soda came out to almost $50 so a little pricey but definitely filling. They have some outdoor seating so I was able to bring my pup! Ordering doesn't take too long and our food took 10-15 minutes on a Friday afternoon."
