    For the 5 years that I have worked and commuted to Riverside/IE I have finally tried the infamous Baker's. I can see the love and hate behind it. Let's start off with the negative: the burger patties are severely under seasoned. I tasted all bun and tomato. Salt, pepper or even some seasoned salt would have altered the rating of this review. Second negative and it's more of an on the fence recommendation surrounding the chili. I would have preferred a more balanced, zesty and seasoned chili. This leads into the positives: the chili is very chili forward. It's not spicy but you can taste the chili powder for sure and I appreciate that. Some garlic and onion could make this a contender in the fast food chili game. The fries: fresh and hot out of the fryer. A lovely level of crispiness and salted generously. Went perfect with a side of ranch. Final positive: the presentation and freshness. Everything ordered was aesthetic, hot, fresh and I give kudos to the staff at Baker's for putting effort and pride into their product. Thank you Baker's.

    What's leftover from my dogs...

    Needed something fast , usually don't do fast food to often. Been to Bakers down by Cal Baptist a few times and always good. Went to the one in Woodcrest on a Sunday around 4pm. Drive thru and ordered a few beef tacos, ground beef burrito, fries drink. Tacos and burrito were absolutely horrible, the ground beef was dry over cooked and you can tell sitting for a long time, why you train your cooks to serve this? You can see before you put it in the tortillas or taco shell it's dry with char black pieces. Fries were decent and hot, coke was cold. Service was prompt and thorough at least, unless you take points off for the cook that actually made the food. I'm sure he's been trained not to throw it out. Literally, fed my 3 German shepherd's the tacos and burritos, I ate the fries and drank the coke... obviously, unless I'm getting my dogs food from here I cant justify coming back...

    Chicken taco? Where's the chicken
    Ron S.

    What happened to bakers? Quality is completely gone. I keep trying because it was so good before but man it's just never going to be the same. I spent 45 min in line for chicken tacos that look like lettuce tacos. Nothing looks like the picture. Burgers were so good and now I ordered a taco because the burger was so bad last time. Used to love the shredded beef and now that's gone. Well I guess Miguel Jr. shredded beef tacos and bean and cheese burritos will have to do going forward. Can't do Bakers anymore. Not for the price!

    Cheese Quesadilla

    This place keeps getting worse and worse. I used to love the cheese quesadillas. Now, they hardly have any cheese. This is a photo of how 2 of the 3 pieces looked on the inside after opening up the quesadilla. Such a rip off.

    Baker's you can do better than this. Plus I paid for a quesadilla and it was missing from my drive-through order.

    a view of the kitchen

    I had never visited a Baker's before... i'm not really from around here, and was just in the neighborhood for an event at the nearby MLK Jr. high school. I said out on foot, in search of food for a bunch of kids, and after picking up a box of donuts kitty corner to the intersection, I stumbled over here to see what giant bag of food I could bring back. The menu is sort of an eclectic mix of burgers & fries and fast food Mexican. I ordered a big bag of tacos and burritos, And a few orders of fries... Not nearly as cheap as the Del taco next door, but for whatever reason, the Del taco's dining room was closed, they only had a drive-through, and thanks to lawyers and insurance companies, you can't walk up to a drive-in window anymore in this country. But back to Baker's... The young lady that took my order was cordial enough, standing behind plexiglass. My food came out pretty quickly, and I started the slightly uphill walk back to the high school. Nothing particularly awesome or negative about the food, although a 10 minute walk in unseasonably warm November he did not do the hard shell tacos any favors. This is hardly the restaurants fault, but I'm not exactly sure these were five-star tacos to begin with. For a bunch of adolescents Who do not yet need to worry about the food they're putting into their systems, it was an acceptable lunch, liberally smothered in small packets of hot sauce, and washed down with soft drinks. The french fries were pretty soggy, but again... The ultimate recipients of them were not exactly connoisseurs, and no one complained. Truth be told, I would probably not collectively eat here again, but you never know the next time I will have five hours to kill in Riverside.

    Breakfast sandwich mistake
    Jimmy G.

    Order sausage breakfast sandwich, got home and it's missing the sausage patty. Sad part is I was the only car in drive thru

    Had to go 3x (from home) until they got my son's Double Baker with cheese (plain/dry) correct. The tortillas on the burritos are now thick and they over cook their fries and don't add salt. What happened to this place? Employees didn't seem to care I made 3 trips for 1 burger to be correct. *there were no shortage of employees and I was the only one in the restaurant all 3x, so we can't blame this one on COVID.

    This is a large fry. Only a half filled container.

    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.

    Of the three locations I've visited to date, it's clear that the menus vary, and this is definitely…read morethe smallest one. That's reflected in the constricted lobby that isn't suitable for dining in, despite a couple tables and chairs that remain unused by the hot line display. Additionally, the limited space effectively cuts the daily selection in half compared with the much restaurant on La Sierra. Sun faded illustrations of menu items on the west-facing wall are still legible, and a few customers in the crowded entryway were ordering made-to-order noodles and entrées. I, however, just wanted a standard two-item combination of orange chicken and jalapeño chicken with fried rice. Once my turn came it went quick and smooth. Fortunately, there are a few outside tables distributed for the customers of this and adjacent restaurants. I found the orange chicken to be crispy and dry. It was towards the end of the night, but still. A bit disappointed and I didn't eat it all. Their take on jalapeño chicken is actually pretty good. Spicy and a good sauce, which the rice soaked up. Summary: The price was fair for the quantity, but I think the limited space and corresponding reduced selection keeps interesting menu choices offered elsewhere to maybe one or two items, of which one display, didn't appeal. Friendly cashier though, but if they have a prime time, it's probably mid afternoon.

The chicken is crispy, the waffle fries are always a classic, and the food tends to be really consistent every time you visit. Their original chicken sandwich with the pickles is simple but still one of the best fast-food chicken sandwiches around.

    "Evil Chick-fil-A"…read more The only thing keeping this review from lowering to a 1 star, is how delicious the food was. By the time I pulled in and was ready to order, I ended up sitting idle for about 3 minutes while the two 12 year olds with iPads giggled and played around instead of taking peoples orders. When the infant finally came up to my window, he was laughing and covering his mouth like a popular girl in high school while looking everywhere but my eyes. I told him half my order before he went, "huh?" and had me repeat it. Repeating an order is whatever because you probably just didn't hear me, but I'm borderline touching ears with you man, come on. I finished submitting my order and when I nicely said, "Thank You!" This toddler goes, "Yeah, Uhuh". Who are you bro? I felt so old this whole experience dude it was bad. Now reaching the area to pay, I rolled down my window once more as this little jizzum ROLLS HER EYES AND SCOFFS at me because I dropped my card at my feet on accident. Like god forbid I have butter fingers, you nincompoop. I said thank you for whatever reason after paying 60 dollars for some chicken and chitlins (she didn't even say anything after that) and drive to the second to last stop. I get my food and encounter literally the only normal, kind person in this whole drive thru. The manager actually said, "My Pleasure" with a huge smile and giddy attitude when I thanked him for being the only good dude in a one mile radius. Finally, the sauce lady at the very end of the drive thru looked so mad to see me smiling and immediately wiped it off my face after giving me a stern, "what do you want." I got my barbecue and left while stuffing my face with food that burnt my taste buds off, ambiance was chaotic, absolutely delicious food though.
