    What I ordered was the charbroiled chicken sandwich pictured here. The sandwich I got was gross & looked nothing like what I ordered!!
    Dan M.

    The service was terrible, slow, and the food was terrible!! I ordered a chicken Club and they gave me a breaded dry salty chicken sandwich! I will never stop here again!!

    Terrible wait , only 1 car in front of us!

    This is my first and last time ever coming here. While on our way to Bakersfield we stopped here for a quick bite to eat, after all "fast food" should be a quick way to get food right? Think again, at least at this location. From ordering to actually getting our food took close to 20 min! And, there was only 1 car in front of us. Extremely unacceptable! So when hubby was asked if we wanted sauce... he said yes, Ranch. The restaurant manager said " I'm so sorry we are all out of ranch" ok, no biggie... When a different employee came to the window to give us our drinks, hubby asked her if they had ranch and ..... the response was " yes, we do" and gave us a few. What the heck?!? I didn't make a big deal about it. And the food was extremely skimpy, chicken was super thin, they no longer use wheat bread and there was like 1/2 a slice of cheese. For 2 combos total came out to: $24.07! Very bad service, wait times are ridiculous and food quality is not the greatest. There aren't many food options in Gorman but steer clear from this Carl's Jr. drive up about 15 more minutes and grab food in Lebec, a ton of options are available there. Lesson learned! :(

When we arrived, it was lunchtime, and we noticed a longer-than-usual line. However, the staff behind the counter were doing an excellent job of moving customers through quickly. We placed our order in less than five minutes. While my favorite is the Double-Double Animal Style, I usually opt for either Combo #1 or Combo #2 when I'm on the road. My wife, on the other hand, is a big fan of their Double-Double Protein Style. Our order was ready in less than ten minutes. I needed to return to the counter to get some half-and-half for my coffee and extra spread for my wife. The associate assisted me quickly and greeted me with a big smile, which I always appreciate, especially during busy times. After enjoying our lunch, we got back on the road with big smiles on our faces.

The bathrooms were even worse. They were filthy, the trash hadn't been emptied, there was water on the floor around the stalls, and one of the toilets wouldn't even flush. I understand it was Labor Day and they may have been really busy or short-staffed, so I don't want to be too harsh on the employees. But this was beyond the normal mess you'd expect during a rush. It was hard to sit down and enjoy a meal when both the dining area and bathrooms were in that condition. Hopefully this was just an unusually bad day.

Two of the chicken sandwiches were wrong, and the burger did not have bacon on it. We went back and then had to leave (no one is just hangin gout in Gormon, they are generally on their way somewhere). I do not expect McDonald's to be a paragon of taste but I expect it to be savory and taste good. The whole point of fast food is fast, tastes good, cheap, and keeps you coming back. Nuggets were cold... how? I thought everything was deep fried. It just kind of ruined my day. I was traveling and already did not feel great. This ruined my day. I felt like a real Grimace.

My boyfriend panics and says as we are almost to Gorman what should we do? I immediately went to yelp.com (thank you, yelp) and it read that there is a place called Koehler's Garden & Restaurant in Frazier Park, "take the next turnoff. " And so he did and we drove inland for about 10 minutes through windy roads and came across Koehler's Garden & Restaurant. Whooooooaaaaaa. Where are we? Let's go check it out. We walked into a wood paneled room that had a stage for a band and tables with chairs to eat at. We were greeted by the nicest young man name Joshua. We decided to eat lunch. We were the only ones there at lunch time. We ordered two cheeseburgers, an order of fries and two drinks. The bill came to $32.00 with tax. I think my BF overhead that it was $2.00 of Wednesday. The burger pattie was huge. Best deal in California. Sure it took a while to get served, but we weren't in any rush anyways. It gave us time to get to know the staff. The nicest people ever. One girl said that there has been fires and backups on the Grape Vine almost every other day. Trucks are just driving too fast and brakes are catching on fire. Finally another customer that had just moved to Frazier Park from Texas comes in for lunch too. So, my advice - if you get stuck on Highway 5 before you hit the Grape Vine, there is an escape route to Koehler's Garden & Restaurant in Frazier Park. And yes, we drove through the small towns of Taft and Maricopa to end up at Buttonwillow on H5. The best part of the trip is that we had great burgers and did not sit in traffic.

Beyond cider they offer a significant number of choices for beer. For beer drinkers they have Belgian and IPA options. The place seems to be very popular on the weekend around lunch time. Of course, it was Mother's Day too, but I am sure this place on the weekends, especially summer pulls a great deal of people in. The service at the bar was ok. They provided me exactly what I needed in a timely fashion.
