The lady who took our order, I'm guessing maybe Carla, was so sweet. She made suggestions from the menu. She was so kind. We ordered 2 of the Western Burger combos plus mozzarella sticks. It was $36. Not too bad especially with the rising cost of everything. Food review- Western Burger (Reg) BOMB! Hugev& flavorful. Couldn't finish. Western burger (spicy) BOMB! French fries- fresh, hot & salted perfectly! Mozzarella Sticks- Delicious but had to pay for the marinara Onion rings- Dud... overcooked, dried out & very disappointed. I could taste the flavor but was not able to eat them. Not gonna take away stars since it was only 1 visit & I'm sure it's not the norm.

I had never been to Jake's until today. I've always heard about them and their sheet cake, which…read moreI've tried before (and honestly wasn't so impressed by). I've passed by it plenty of times, but have never thought to drop in during lunch. Finally came here to celebrate my boss's birthday. The parking lot was packed & very limited considering the lunch rush, but after waiting around a bit, a space freed up. The line was out the door! It felt like a bit of a wait to get through it, but they were doing their best. Once we finally made it inside, I loved the whole vibe. They had license plates on the ceiling, framed photos on the walls, and signs/paintings with little nods to Bakersfield. When it came to their food, I had no idea what I was in for, but was told by a friend that their salad lites were pretty good. And wow--there was nothing "lite" about this salad. They gave you a huge portion size. I could only eat half of what I was served. Granted the price reflects coming in at a little over $20. But it was still a solid meal. Didn't get the chance to take a photo of it, because I was so hungry after waiting that I stuffed my face. But I think I will return!

You follow your chef and sever down the line, assembling your ideal burrito or bowl.

I stopped by during lunch and was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't as crowded as I expected. The ambiance was relaxing, spacious, and comfortable, with soccer games playing on the TVs. The only downside was having to head back to work! From the moment I walked in, I was warmly greeted. I really appreciated the immediate acknowledgment and friendly service. Now for the best part--the food! I ordered the Cali Cheesesteak with curly fries, and it was absolutely delicious. In fact, my coworkers were jealous when they saw my lunch! Needless to say, I'll be back. Next time, I'm bringing the whole crew for a group lunch!

My youngest and I were in the area and she suggested Hoagies. I wasn't impressed when we came the…read morelast time but she's sort of picky so in we went. This time around, I decided to try out the fish sandwich and my daughter wanted the club sandwich. She absolutely loved her sandwich which is great because as I mentioned...super picky kid. Me on the other hand, not impressed at all with the fish sandwich. First impression was it did look super fresh. The lettuce looked crisp and fresh and the fish was poking out of the sandwich which means good portions. But the fish was a bit dark, suggesting either old or dirty grease or cooked too long? Either way it was bland. I ended up having to douse it with a mixture of tarter, malt vinegar, ketchup and Tabasco sauce. I feel as though since this is a fish restaurant that is from the coast, the fish should be their best dish. But this is twice now that it has failed to impress me.

The dining area, bathroom, parking lot and surrounding areas are clean and tidy. I just like the simplicity of the place, basic burgers with veg and of course, the best pastrami in town! Which I am told is very good although I haven't had it myself. My recommendation is to get one of the peanut butter shakes! The best!

So my opinion, the food is good there ...but their customer service isnt good basically ugly service they give out ...but don't get me wrong ..,Yeah, SOME of the ladies are some what nice ..but most of them no good NOT FRIENDLY ..., btw just to say ..., as side note ... A worker that works there ..told me to hold on ..(rudely), when I had an call in order to pick up ...., mins ago ...., just rude service ...and again Manager lady didn't do anything and she saw the whole thing .. when she was being rude ..instead she gave her a look And n she covered for her to help me out instead of her ( and the manger lady help me until the end ) while the worker was on her phone through the whole process .. until the manger Lady was done with me and the worker was happy to help out another Customer..., And the manager lady did not do anything to that worker when she was at fault and being rude so in the end very poor customer service. And management.., The food is there But their customer service and management is yuck if you're willing to dine there ....

AMBIANCE : We all know it's an old spot, but they take care of it, no trash or grossness. Notable: they need to start calling cops on the outside guys directly/closely tracking and approaching customers vehicles/standing at entrance door, for money. This is a safety issue.

I was craving that "greasy diner" burger kind of meal so I visited the Golden Bull as it is close…read moreto my home and I didn't have to go into town and deal with 5:00 traffic. I arrived around 5:15pm and there were a couple of cars in the parking lot. I expected to see patrons in the seating area however, it was empty. Their hours are 6am to 6pm so I felt kind of bad showing up 45 mins before closing. The staff was very kind and friendly and didn't show any signs of being bothered that I was there. I was out by 5:30 to take my food home. I ordered a Jr. Cheeseburger for my son, nothing on it, just meat and cheese. I didn't specifically say "no sauce" so it did have some thousand island type sauce on it. Honestly, my son had no idea and ate almost all of it before he opened it and saw it and suddenly didnt like it. (He liked it, he just doesn't like things to be different) perfect size for a child's burger. A little bigger than a McDonald's burger. My husband ordered the pastrami which comes with pickles and mustard. He added Swiss cheese and says it could have used a little more than what they added. According to him it was good, but nothing remarkable and it had plenty of meat. No negative comments. I had the bacon cheeseburger which came with chopped lettuce, tomato, pickles, and that Thousand Island type pink sauce. The burger was good, it had the taste I was craving. That flat grill char really hit the spot. My burger was drippy. There was one large tomato slice that fit the entire burger. I had to drop some of the lettuce out because it kept falling out anyway and I wanted to have more of the other flavors pop. There was about two slices of bacon and only 3 pickle chips. I personally love pickles so I would ask for extra next time. I also ordered a large fry and large onion ring to share. I preferred the fries over the onion rings but both were good. I like BBQ sauce with my onion rings but I was not a fan of their BBQ. I don't know how to explain the flavor. It was a runny sauce and had almost this Mexican spice flavor to it. I mixed some ranch with it and I liked it better that way. I also ordered a piece of baklava. They said they get other from someone who makes it at home. Risky? Maybe. Worth it? Oh yeah.

Okay, so is a little bit out of the way, but it's a fast drive, and if you live on the westside of town it's faster than driving into downtown. The onion rings are amazing, perfect, they don't fall apart, so crispy and golden. You can get a shake, they are made with soft-serve and syrups, but still really yummy. My top picks are the onion rings, fried zucchini, burger and green salads. All are diner-style. And don't forget, they have breakfast too! The staff is so kind and welcoming and exemplifies the motto of "service with a smile". I even accidentally dropped my tray while bussing my table after eating and they helped me and were so nice about it, even though I felt like such a klutz! I appreciate their kindness and not making me feel bad about the mess.

The ambiance was very chill, you could definitely study there if you wanted to (at least the around 1pm). We are from SoCal, and we will definitely keep this spot saved for when we come out here.

He is vegetarian and they were happy to accommodate his preferences. I had the bacon cheeseburger with fries. The portions are very good. They brought our food to the table promptly. We had met to catch up. The noise level at lunch is moderate to high and it was sometimes difficult to hear. That's more on my aging ears, I think. Overall this is a very good place to grab a quick bite. If you're downtown, definitely give it a try.
