I always liked this location, especially the huge variety of snacks and drinks that are inside the store. A few years ago I used to come here for their breakfast burritos, (Epic) ..before I headed to work and stocking up on some drinks for the day. Since then I've moved locations and changed careers so it's not as convenient. However, it is really close on the way home. When leaving the Kaiser Permanente, right next door. Anyway, just a visit today picked up a couple of cold drink. I will stop by their deli then post another review. read more

Need to grab dinner before heading to Kaiser because their Stockdale location was renovating their pharmacy. Stopped by to check it out. The guys said the burgers were handmade. Ok. Then he said let's do the special and then add bacon. Its cheaper that ways. OK. I like recommendations. The burger was good . Loved the patty. Hated that the bacon was flat and broken and it didnt make me happy. Fries were nice and crisp and I was able to get ranch to dip. I finally looked at the recipt because my husband paid. This was not a deal. $20/ burger. All over the place it says special for this....special for that. Where is my special pricing deal? Betrayed and felt lied to. The meal was good but the price...no. my husband didnt even say anything. Just swipe. He did however get a Reese cookie and that was bomb. Food is great but the lies on pricing thinking we were going to get a deal... sad for believing him. read more

Went there after teaching summer school and was hungry and didnt eat breakfast. I Went over there and ordered a hamburger combo since it was a special and I lived nearby. The lady who helped me was not very friendly or nice and was talking on the phone while ordering. My blood sugar was really low. It was over 20 minutes and she finally said there was something wrong with their computers but wasn't even apologetic about it. Even if the back didnt get the order, she was mostly in front of me and should have noticed it was taking a while and told the back that I ordered. She treated me like I was a nuisance yet was nice to the gentleman customer there. Mind you there were only two customers there besides me. The younger gentleman working there noticed me and helped me and basically all this interaction showed me that the operational manager doesn't really care, not about service or for customers period, or maybe just cares about certain customers. It took over twenty minutes for me to get my food, in which the gentleman working, expedited as soon as he could and apologized while she looked like she can care less. Maybe if you were going to be an operations manager for a food establishment, maybe care about customer service or pretend to. Just a thought. I try not to write reviews like this but this experience was warranted and they can look at the cameras if they wanted to see what happened. read more

I ordered the Brookside Club and it was delicious! I didn't get fries with it because I wasn't eating right away. They close pretty early in the afternoon, and this was the best time to try them for a late lunch/early dinner. The people working the counter were super nice and provided excellent service and the gentleman who made my food was great too. Even though I didn't eat my sandwich right away, it was excellent! The inside is super nice and I imagine it's a great place to grab lunch with a coworker. Excellent! read more

Charged me twice for 27.99 and wouldn't refund me. Manager was rude as hell and blamed it on Apple Pay.

$13.47 after tax for what has to be the blandest breakfast burrito of my entire life. Maybe cuz it's 80% potatoes with about three bites of bacon. And not even made fresh, just sitting in a warmer in foil. You guys know seasoning exists, right? read more

This is my second time getting food from the deli here at Brookside. First visit was for breakfast, and I got a turkey and broccoli omelette. It was delicious, and so big I had the second half for lunch at work . Today, after getting some shots at Rite Aid across the street, (thank you Valerie!) the hubs and I stopped by to try their burgers. Worth the stop! I appreciate that they ask you about each topping when you order, and the food came out quick, and correct. The fries that were included were super crispy, fat, crinkle fries, with seasoned salt, which is always my preference. The burger tasted fresh and was made to order, and I could tell. I wish the meat had had a tad more salt, but that's just my personal taste. We bought our drinks in the Market area, presented our ticket and paid at that counter. It was a good lunch. read more

The store is amazing! It has everything you can think of and more. Plus Smiths...that's a huge plus! **The 2 star rating is for the deli. My friend brought me there to get lunch. I haven't had anything from the deli before, but was happy to try something new. Checked out the salads in the refrigerated case while we waited in line. All were at least day old. They all had that hard, dull layer on the top that made them look old. Ick! Definitely not fresh. I wonder how often they replace the salads. Not sure if the guy taking our orders was new, but he struggled getting everything into the computer. I ordered a hot pastrami sandwich combo and asked what came on the sandwich. He said lettuce, tomato, cheese...omg! No! I asked for mustard and pickles only. That took a few minutes to get into the computer. My friend ordered the French dip lunch special. She wanted meat and bread only. He asked what kind of meat and then went in the back to ask if they had beef. Oh my! It took about 20 minutes to get our food. Seemed the guy taking orders and a woman in the back were the only two working. There was a herd of people, staff and others, at the ice cream counter. Some new something was happening over there. No one came to help in the deli, which I thought was sad. When we got our food, we both checked to make sure the orders were correct. No pickles on mine. My friend's was correct. You could tell the rolls had been frozen. They had that dry wrinkly look on top. I was ok with that. The biggest problem was the fake butter oil that they put on the rolls to toast them up. The oil had a strong chemical taste that I couldn't get past. My bottom bun was saturated, so I ate the top only. The top had some oil, but not as much as the bottom. Not really an enjoyable sandwich. The fries were great! They were hot and fresh. Bummed about my deli experience. I don't think I need to try again. I will definitely visit the store and Smiths again. read more

Everything is great. Try the breakfast burritos and burgers! It's a hole in the wall place with a cozy vibe.

I generally only go out of my way to leave positive reviews. Unfortunately, my experience at this store was so bad that I had to do something. Upon being overcharged for a handful of small items, I simply asked that I be able to pay the price that's marked on the item itself. The cashier said that the register overrides any markings on the products. When she showed me the receipt, I constructively and politely pointed out her error. She proceeded to laugh at me and mocked me in front of other customers because I was "holding up the line over $1". While I did not see your name tag, miss cashier, I would tell you that the dollar was not the point. If you take time to reflect, I believe you'll realize that. read more

You need gas, but need to get a quick bite to eat , savory bake goods & alcohols for later then your in luck! This is the place for you. Dino Gas , smith cookies , convince store & deli wrap in one.

Love this little deli spot, my husband and I have come here several times for our lunch dates and if you haven't checked this little sandwich spot out then you're definitely missing out. You don't think much of it, because when you pass by you just think it's another shell gas station, but don't be fooled, inside has much more. This deli has been here for awhile, and I think it gets overshadowed by all the restaurants nearby. Brookside Deli makes tons of different food items. You can literally come here for for breakfast, lunch and dinner. You can even come here for your sweet tooth cravings. This shell station doesn't only have the Brookside Deli inside, but Smith's Bakery is also inside this shell station as well as Dewar's ice cream and Nestle Ice Cream and for all you sweet tooth lovers, you'll know what I'm talking about when you walk in. What's really good about this place is, you can literally stand there and watch the workers put your food together knowing that they are following food prep protocol by using gloves at all times, and they change their gloves when handling meat or other products in betweTables are also clean and they have tons of seating inside as well as seating in their little patio area. Can't make it to Pismo Beach guys? They serve Splash Cafe's signature clam chowder here and if that doesn't lure you in, after you have walked in and looked around, I can almost bet that you won't even know what to get when you first visit here. There's so much good food here for a decent price. Food here is not pricey at all and very worth it. All the sandwiches I have tried so far, I definitely would order it again. I have tried the tuna melt, French dip, Philly cheese, and turkey sandwich and I have tried so many different desserts. The cookies are humongous gourmet cookies with chunks of goodness. If you haven't checked Brookside Deli out, then you got to check it out, I was actually quite surprised that they only have 21 reviews and rated 3.5 half stars... come on people, this place is more than that and for a sandwich spot that has to compete with all these restaurants nearby is definitely 5 stars to me. read more

I've previously only eaten her for breakfast in the mornings. Just stopped by today to grab something quick. Had not ate all day. I order a Philly cheese steak. Sandwich was basically bread with melt cheese on it. Hardly any meat on it. The meat on it was super thin and burnt. Will not eat here again. read more

Well this place use to be my favorite. This morning I ordered an omelette, hash browns and a medium coffee. 24.50. A bit greedy for a gas station Deli! They use packet catchup of some no brand. They said they no longer have Tabasco sauce for free! Ok let's was okay but not for the price of a steak. Still served on a plastic plate and with a plastic fork. I am now eliminating my fleet of trucks to get fuel here and will never be here again. The greed of these owners is pathetic. read more

Overpriced. I don't go there often, but when I do it's a let down. Don't charge what you charge for you food and it make look like there is no effort in it. I typically don't care, but it's too often here that I feel overcharged. All of the food was cold. If I wanted my food to look like this I'd ask my 9 year old. read more

Had been getting gas here forever because it's located close to CSUB campus. Always have to fill up tires because two of them have slow leaks. Never had issues before with machine. Fast forward to now, I notified them 3-4 times over 5 week period that their air pressure machine wasn't working properly (either not enough pressure for max 45 psi tire or nozzle attachment not functioning properly). Even called and left name and number once, call not returned. Machine not fixed, manager never present to talk to when I was there in evenings. Now forced to get gas somewhere else because I can't fill up tires (at which I have no trouble with filling tires the two times I've done it since this issue started). Even if they fixed, not going back. I'm just one dude and a drop in the bucket business-wise, but if I am having this problem there are certainly others having it as well (or will). read more

Welll I'm not sure what happened at this location but the breakfast has been really bad the last 2 times. Last week we got the chorizo, egg & potato burrito. They changed from has browns to a country type potato and they were rock hard, old and shriveled. I really thought it was a fluke so I ordered a burrito today but without potato's and WOW. I had to throw the entire thing away. It was completely soaked in grease. A coworker thought it had cheese on top but nope, it was just pure grease. I did give them 2 stars because it's a nice store and the staff are always friendly. read more

Great place. Employees are always nice and the food is great. Will be coming back in the future.

I'm surprised I'm the first to review. I've eaten at brook side many times when I had a tri-weekly engagement around the corner. After a week the staff knew my order and name and were always very friendly. Now, years since ive been a regular, they still remember me. Little things like that are nice. Obviously the food was good and kept me coming back. My usual was a fresh made turkey deli sandwich and sometimes a cup of soup. They also serve hot sandwiches, burgers and have hot prepared meals in the food case to grab and go or eat there. They have several different pasta/potato salad like options to choose from. My brother, the vegetarian, raves about the grilled veggie panini, filled with eggplant and mixed veggies. read more

They need cooks not cashiers making food. On more than one occasion my fried eggs are over cooked and crispy around the edges. Today 9/22/18 it happed again. I ordered scrambled eggs because I knew what kind of fried eggs they cook and lo and behold I get home to a crispy over cooked fried egg sandwich read more

Stopped in today for a orange juice and a bacon burrito No waiting as they literally have dozens of burritos ready to go in the morning. Choice of mild or hot salsa. Fresh and tasty read more

Let me start off by saying this place is truly a hidden gem. It offers some of the best food options I've seen in town. They have something for everyone. Ready to go packed plates for those on the move! Their lunch items are just as delicious with their pastrami sandwich being my personal fav!! Not to mention that that they have crinkle cut fries which are just so freaking good! Really nice patio area & it's also connected with a gas station which just makes this place 10x better. So many options for anyone & everyone!! read more

I'm closer to sullys but I come here just for macey! Maceys outstanding personality/customer service is such a delight. Love how she supports our dodgers, and overall this place is not even in comparison to other delis. read more

The location is handy, but the service is terrible. "Macey," couldn't have been any more rude had they paid her extra. I'll stick to Sully's where the people are fantastic, and the options are plentiful. read more

Great location near my house. It has just about everything you could want. It has a full deli with a hot grill with daily specials (including Breakfast). This location has a large Smith's Bakery, Dewars ice cream etc. I came for the turkey, provolone on squaw bread very good. If you are in the area stop in for just about anything you are in the mood for. read more

The workers at the deli are so rude! I hate that their the closest thing to my job & I want coffee everyday! They get attitudes every time I order my drink & want it custom! I spend money with them too much for them to treat me that way ! This time the guy was flat out blunt that he's irritated with my order! SMH read more

Dang, these kids whip up a fantastic lunch! In fact, when I work on this side of town I am kind of addicted to lunch here. Great deli with tons of selections. The hot prepared sandwiches are delicious, as well as the pre-made ones. They also have great homemade side salads like pasta, broccoli, and basque cottage cheese! I've had numerous sandwiches, but the specials are always hard to beat. The meatloaf sandwich was insane. I also like the deep pit one. And, they have a turkey sandwich on a bagel that is out of this world. Don't pass this place up just thinking it is a gas station. It's the real deal. Grab a Smith's cookie after too! read more

I love stopping in Brookside deli to grab a quick breakfast. My usual order is nothing fancy, just 1/2 order of Biscuits and Gravy, occassionally some bacon, and maybe a hash brown... Today was definitely an off day for them. I saw two orders that ordered after me get their food first, first by like 5-10 mins. As a part-time server, I understand that every order is different and requires different prep times, it totally didn't bother me. After I waited for about 15 minutes, the supervisor (nice lady) came out and asked me what I had ordered-I told her and she went straight to work on finding what had happened. Apparently there was a huge take out order that was called in around the same time (28 sandwiches) and the kitchen just forgot about my order. She insisted on comping my order....I said that wouldn't be necessary, I wasn't in a huge hurry anyways. She still took me to the register and handed me a few dollars anyways. Oh, and there was extra bacon in my to go box too :) My boyfriend usually gets either the chicken fried steak or the breakfast burrito-and loves them both. They also offer about 12 different coffees-different flavors and brews, I love to jog down here and grab a cup and a newspaper to walk home with. It is also a great place to stop after the bike path, I can't tell you how many times I have had to air up a tire here and they always turn the air on for free :) read more

In larger cities this would be a typical convenience store, but in Bakersfield this is an upscale high-falootin mini-mart with gourmet groceries, deli, salads, ice cream and candy by Dewar's, fresh pastries by Smith's Bakery, soda fountain and fancy cheeses. I like the sandwiches here. They use Boar's Head meats and bread by Pyrenee's, and the result is very pleasing - but a little pricey for those not used to paying $7 for a good sandwich. The macaroni salad is very good here, and they even use the short macaroni. And you have your choice of getting Dewar's ice cream by the scoop or by the gallon. By partnering with some local institutions Brookside has made a niche for itself as a one-stop shop for good homegrown brands. read more

Bought a bacon breakfast burrito and I have to admit, not only was it expensive ($7.65), it was disgusting and the worst breakfast burrito around. read more

This is a beautiful market located across from The Oaks neighborhoods. The market features a very nice Deli, a Smiths bakery, and a nice selection of wines and spirits, as well as anything else a mini market would offer including Gifts and Shell gasoline. The problem with this convenience store is that it isn't convenient at all, not only is it not open 24 hours, it closes at 8:00pm; I stopped frequenting this store because I regularly had to go somewhere else anyway because it closes so early. The other problem is the prices; higher than any other store in town including Shell gasoline and Smith bakery. I recommend going down the street to Grand Island; same thing, always open, better prices. read more

I wish could give them zero stars. Worst sandwich ever!! Ordered a turkey and Swiss. Paid extra for cheese and received none! The sandwich looked like it was just slapped together. Barely any turkey for a $9 sandwich. The final nail in this sandwich coffin was the piece of wood I bit into! Nasty, nasty, nasty! Never again. If it would not been a to go order, I would have taken it back and demanded my money back. Save yourself and avoid this place!! read more

We lived around the corner from Brookside Deli at the Oaks about ten years ago and used to grab the Brookside Combo on squaw bread quite often. Driving home from vacation today we found ourselves northbound on the 99 and driving through Bakersfield. We decided to checkout our old neighborhood and wound up grabbing lunch at Brookside. We ordered our favorite sandwiches and grabbed a few Smith's Bakery smiley face cookies. And, it all tasted exactly the way we remembered it. Who says "you can't go home again?" read more

My friend treated me to lunch here today. The mushroom burger was my choice. The mushrooms were delicious! Waited approx 20 min for food...bummer during lunch time and for the price $8.99 just for the burger, this may deter me to go somewhere more reasonable and faster next time. read more
