Jake's

The food was great I got the nachos and they were very good the salad and sandwich was also good! The service was amazing very quick and the workers were very nice! The ambiance is a country style experience and the seating is great. Will definitely be coming back for lunch again!

Had pasted this place on several occasions and being new in Bakersfield I am still trying new spots so decided to stop by and give this place a try. Food was really good and filling. Serving size was way more than I could eat. Chili was delicious and hearty. Service was really good and staff friendly. Place had a nice vibe with great decor. Will definitely come back

Great dinner. Wife ordered the light salad and I ordered the tri tip burrito... both super delicious.Never a bad meal at Jake's Service was friendly and fast.Ambiance was nice, quite, and clean

I had eaten here before and enjoyed the chili and burrito, so decided to give it another shot. Ordered a tri-tip plate to go. When I got home I was surprised to find the sides, bbq sauce, but no tri-tip in the container. Bummer, but mistakes happen. I called and the manager offered me 20% off my NEXT order, and after a little pushback, reluctantly told me he'd refund my order after implying I was making it up. After having me read my credit card number over the phone several times to initiate a refund, manager said my card would be refunded. Transaction was posted to my card anyway. Don't give me the order I paid for, blame me, and then lie about a refund. Horrible service.

Been a customer and fan of Jake's for years! Hands down my favorite place to get a salad in Bakersfield! Don't let the name fool you, the salad lite is packed with flavor. My go to add in's are chicken, Parmesan broccoli, pasta salad, ALL the toppings (a must) and blue cheese. All the ingredients are so fresh and the broccoli and pasta added in elevate the salad! I always have leftovers which I love. Also, always have to get the chocolate cake and this time picked up the chocolate chip cookie sandwich and they were made with chocolate cake frosting in between! Absolutely delicious. If you are a salad lover, this is the place to go!

I have loved Jake's for 30 years--my longest relationship my favorite is probably a salad lite (the name is a misnomer--iykyk). It's hard to screw up nachos, but they are amazing here! The lemon cake is heavenly. Great chili. I can't name a bad thing!

How can you not love Jake's? Always get a salad lite and load it up with different options. My partner gets the nachos and we share. Win win. Deep pit is the best I've had in town. Definitely check this Bakersfield gem out. Great lunch spot

Checked this place out for the first time, great portion sizes for the price. Tri tip was pretty good, cheesy potatoes were one of the best I've had. Staff was very friendly, and made our first experience a good one. Cool cafe style restaurant.

Little salad was o k Beef sandwich was bland and dry. Good thing the little bbq disuse and waterey hot sauce saved the day . Help was friendly . Parking was easy.

"Unlike most cafeteria style joints, you order off the menu, tell us what you want, and our friendly staff prepares it while you're in line."Yeah, they write a nice description, but my last experience was not anything like this. I've been going to Jake's probably since it's opened many years ago. A little pricey but very tasty food. More than half the time (likely over 100x) I've ordered a "Half-family pack" by literally saying, "I'll take half chicken and half beef" to go.Yesterday, for the first time I ordered a Full-family pack by reading from the menu that lists on the bottom of the " Family Menu" Tri-tip. The "friendly staff" refused to prepare a Full family pack half chicken, half beef. The manager even confirmed they have never done half & half, even after explaining that it was done for me likely over 20- years. Feeling as if I was in a Twilight zone episode, I called back this afternoon and asked for an explanation. My mistake was saying Tri-tip instead of beef. Wow, they couldn't figure out they make two types of beef (tri-tip/regular). As a customer it was a disservice for them to not point this out.Finally, the reason I was told they will not split Tri-tip with chicken is because Tri-tip is more EXPENSIVE. Off topic from my complaint, I said that it made no sense to not substitute chicken, WHICH IS CHEAPER, for half of the expensive Tri-tip. The manger's response was silence, then repeating no splitting. Rod Sterling's episode came to a fitting end.
