Speedway Market

OK, I know this place is in Oildale and I know that Oildale is a different beast overall. I'm not putting down Oildale -- I'm just saying that it's different from the neighborhood I live in. There are different mindsets there and that is what makes this great world of ours go 'round. But when I went on a trek to get some biscuits and gravy because I heard just how amazing they are at Speedway Market and I walked in and none of the workers were even pretending to wear a mask, I wonder what world they've been living in over the past year. Listen, I get it when people work together all the time and if they decide when it is just them they won't wear masks, that's their decision. However, obviously, that isn't the case here. They are interacting with the public constantly during their entire shift.Maybe news hasn't made it to Oildale yet that we're living in a pandemic.So I had to make a decision: leave, or decide to grab a quick container of biscuits and gravy keeping my distance, wearing my mask, using hand sanitizer when I get back in the car, and staying in the store as little as possible. I decided to stay and get the biscuits and gravy as long as it would be quick. It wasn't worth any risk I may have put myself under. While the biscuits were quality -- light and fluffy with great flavor -- the gravy was basic. It's nothing I couldn't make on my stove, and I've never made a good sausage gravy in my life despite multiple attempts. It was dense with a flavor best described as bland, and nothing close to the "best biscuits and gravy in Bakersfield" reputation that these have picked up over the years.In my opinion, while it's nice when the biscuits are great, biscuits and gravy are all about the gravy. This one isn't close to the great gravy I have had at places like Sully's. Too bad the Sully's Kitchen is closed at the moment!The maskless workers were all rude. I asked for biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs, and this market claimed they were out of eggs. Sure. Was it because I came in at 11:40 and you didn't want to make eggs? But let's say they were out of eggs. They could have been a bit friendlier. Or just friendly at all.And while I hid behind the small piece of plexiglass when I paid, the girl behind the cash register was too busy texting on her phone to be bothered to finish the transaction. I was nice and told her that I didn't need a receipt and left.As I walked out shaking my head at the disaster that is Speedway Market, about a dozen big trucks and motorcycles drove by with various flags flying making all kinds of noise. I couldn't wait to see the signs that read Merle Haggard Boulevard change into 7th Standard Road, and then Coffee Road signs turn into Gosford Road. Back to my normal, and close to Sully's, where I will await the true best biscuits and gravy in Bakersfield.

By far the best biscuits and gravy in town! I've heard many great things about the B&G here, but every time I had a hankering for it, this place has slipped my mind since it's a bit out of the way (in the northern border of Oildale). Well, while I was at work today, a coworker brought it up again, and we decided to make the trek to the Speedway. Boy, am I glad I finally tried it! The biscuit was perfectly soft and moist, and the gravy had the best flavor with bits of sausage and bacon. I ordered it with egg (it's scrambled), and even that was not dry, like some other places. Ordered the small size at 7:30am and it's still tying me over at 2pm. I think I can make it till dinnertime! Also, for less than $3.50, it's an amazing deal! The large (which is twice this size) is about $6.50.

What happened to you're Biscuits and Gravy!!?! There is canned meat.. maybe pork? In your gravy. It was horrible smelled like Cat Food. Your service is still great, love the lady's house there. You're cookies are to die for (freshly baked) PLEASE GET RID OF THE CANNED MEAT !! And I'll change my review.

Heard good things about this place. So I had to see for myself. Let me just say it isn't a dine in place at all it's just a gas station! As we approached the counter looking for the famous biscuits and gravy we come to a deli style counter. The worker can clearly tell this is our first time. Mainly because we looked lost and confused. The woman seemed irritated. Everything is pretty much refrigerated and placed in a microwave. Save your money. This place is just terrible prices aren't accurate when I mentioned it to them they made an excuse as to why one item was priced different then displayed.

Awesome biscuits and gravy! My husband always gets the breakfast burrito with jalapeños.

You may be asking, what in the world is he doing way out there in Oildale? I'll tell you why. When I first moved here, a friend of mine took me and my wife out here to get biscuits and gravy. I've ridden my bicycle out here a couple of times after that to get them again. It's like a treat for a long ride! Today I decided to drive out here on my way to work and remembered that I've never reviewed them. Well, the biscuits and gravy are really good. Only issue is that the folks aren't all that nice there.

We have been buying biscuits and gravy here for years. Unfortunately, no longer. It turns out that not only did the price go up, but they cut one frozen biscuit into 3rds!! I realize these are not the best biscuits in the world to begin with, but for some reason we have kept buying them when in Oildale. It seems yet another business has turned greedy. I would think the biscuits and gravy have a pretty big profit margin already, but they couldn't just leave it alone. I am only one person, and I know nobody cares if I buy their product, but I'm stopping the madness, ( for me. ) I will miss them, LOLAlso, there are a couple of women working in the deli, that have no business dealing with the public. When dealing with customers, they act like they are princesses, or drank a bottle of vinegar. I got a small biscuits and gravy, but the lady didn't pour any gravy on one side of the biscuits. I asked her if I could please have more gravy, and one of her coworkers heard. They shot each other a look that was disgusting, like I was just another idiot customer who wanted more gravy. Some of the ladies are great, but it's very hard to walk in and see a couple of nasty faces behind the deli.Too bad.

The biscuits and potatoes are fantastic!! And the service at this store is. Nothing short of OUTSTANDING! Especially by a lovely clerk, I believe her name is Danyell. She is so friendly and cheerful. She always has a smile on her face and just knows what customer service is about. If only more stores were so welcoming and friendly. They stock all the best drinks and snacks and they are never out of pretty much anything,

Good ole biscuits and gravy. Get the loaded with potatoes and eggs. You'll be worthless the rest of the day, but happily full and satisfied.

Frozen biscuits with out of the package mix for gravy! SMH!!!!! Service rude no thanks not even 1 star but can't post unless ya put something!
