Great place to eat, food is awesome, all ages welcome. Saturdays is karaoke night, full crowd, lovely people. Serving beer and wine, soda for the kiddies. Pool table rental by the hour, nostalgic video games and a pinball machine. Pizza, calzone, wings, burgers and sandwiches- just outstanding food and atmosphere. Totally recommend this joint. Definitely try a new environment and great food with lovely servers and staff that treat you like family. read more

Great spot. Very hospitable service. Loss of tables to play from. Everybody is very friendly.

I play on a pool team out of this location, so I'm somewhat of a captive audience. I go there all the time and just realize the other day that they do not have a menu posted on yelp. So I made sure to take pictures of the menu. This does not include any of the weekly specials. the ladies that work behind the counter are always very nice and the food is usually prompt. I enjoy that for being such a small venue they still offer fresh food. I don't come here to eat unless I'm playing pool. However, I do see people sitting at the bar or over at tall tables that are there just for food and I've seen them have pizza parties. As far as pool halls go, I think they provide some of the better food options especially for the price. read more

We came in for a couple of games of pool. Our bartender Cam charged me $14.00 for a drink with 1 shot of rum. He said every drink only had 1/2 a shot of alcohol. Anything extra was another full drink charge. We won't be back. 00 read more

Pleasantly apprised by how fabulous the food is. Pizza is perfectly cooked generous toppings and not smothered in pizza sauce. Cheesy garlic bread is huge and full of all the cheese goodness you could want. Although doesn't reheat so great. But let me tell you about the chicken and wedges... BEST EVER! Haven't tried the meatball sandwich yet because it's always sold out before I get there. Staff is on top of things, lots of pool tables. Few arcade games for the kiddos, some eating areas away from pool tables. Good with friends and families. read more

Calezone and fresh garden salad for about $20 Ordered a calzone, with Canadian bacon, pineapple and, bell pepper for $13 plus tax. The garden salad was about $5. One of the owners brought my service animal / German Shepherd a bowl of water. Patrons played pool and dipped beer. read more

This is one of those hole in the wall places that has great pizza, cold beer, and fun people who just want to watch football or play pool. It's consistent and a nice little place to hangout with any type of age group. The employees are super nice and always make sure you have what you want/need! The prices and deals they offer are hard to pass up compared to other places with pool tables & darts. I've been coming here for years & over time it has remained such a fun spot! read more

I think they have the Best burgers and fries of all the pool halls I play at. The tables have recently been upgraded to new Predetor tables and if you are an APA member you can play there for 5 bucks all day. read more

I have been coming here for years and have never had anything that was disappointing! There's something to be said about the quality that can come from a small kitchen and a good cook. Food always comes out hot and fresh. It might not look like it from the outside looking in, but don't let your eyes deceive you. Take my word for it when I tell you that if you haven't eaten here you are missing out! read more

The owners and staff of this establishment are one of the most beautiful groups of people we've met, they are both professional and family oriented at the same time. The food is amazing and the entertainment is awesome. I am beyond comfortable bringing my family here for a night of fun and laughter. Top notch service and very clean facility! Thank You Bankshots for providing the patrons of Bakersfield a little but if normalcy in the chaotic world. read more

Date of visit: 12/30/2021 5:00PM Thought I would skip the kitchen and get the family a pizza. Saw Big Bubba's Pizza at Bank Shots on Olive Drive. Walked in and smelled no thing cooking and the counter person was behind the counter in the area next to where you pick up pizza/food. She was busy chatting with a friend, saw me and my husband and kept talking. Bad omen! You would think if people are waiting at the counter where food comes and goes, you would at least ask if we were picking up or needed a menu. We kept standing there and she did not budge until the phone rang at the counter where we were standing. That caused her to rush over and answer the phone and begin taking the caller's order--still not even asking us to continue waiting or anything. As we decided to leave, she did not even bother looking up. So I cannot speak to the quality of the food or prices because there were no menus on the counter or displayed for us to look at and we could not get any service. But sometimes the quality of the service can tell you a lot. Horrible service does not make someone want to go back or eat there. I get it that being a counter person can get boring or hectic, but just ignoring customers who are there to order or pick up is not proper. read more

Best food, fun and atmosphere in town. This place will always be my favorite hangout. I look forward to every visit and am never disappointed. Bankshots in the place to be! read more

3rd time I've ordered and my last. Ordered a 2 topping Hawaiian and the toppings are soo skimpy! I even told them when I ordered that last time (I ordered the same pizza,) the toppings were too skimpy (thinking they would correct it this time, they did not!) seriously lucky to get a pineapple per slice!! 45$ for a large 1 topping, a large 2 topping & a large wedge not worth the money at all. Such a bummer really wanted to love this place. read more

When I first arrived all the tables were taken and I wasnt able to get a table..Then I overhear the Manager talking ill and spreading rumors about another pool owner..Definitely not something a newcomer wants to hear..Then I see him being rude to a customer saying how horrible another pool hall is...Recieved my food and it was cold and I didnt appreciate it...definitely will not be coming back because owners are rude and disrespectful.... read more

Best pool hall in town. Great food,drinks and service. The owners are great people. I always have a great time at Bankshots!

Nice calm atmosphere food beer and extremely polite employees very well knowledged and helpful and a reasonable menu prices

Although the service is nice , and the pool tables are smooth... vapes and smoking cause it to be not so family friendly... waking in with my son while 3 people are smoking right outside the door isn't a pleasant experience.. 20 feet from the door is the law, but staff does not enforce this .. read more
