    Chili cheese french fries
    Talena L.

    I absolutely love generals for quick bite. There is nothing healthy here, but the food is amazing. Had the chili cheese fries today. It is super tasty and portion size is large. Cost was 5.00. If your looking for occasional guilty pleasure, this is a must if you're in Shafter.

    Garbage chicken salad made with remnants of whatever is left from the bottom of the barrel ingredients.

    Order a crispy chicken salad , you know what ? Instead just order a head of lettuce & cut all the green parts off , wait till it's all white & chunky (insert vomit emoji ). Turn your Open light off at 9:30 on a Saturday night & then don't answer your phone after I call 4x to rectify the order . It's cool I'll just write a review.

    Onion rings

    I can't believe it!!!! As a business why would you serve burn onion rings to customers?

    Wasco Location Super clean! Love that it's so much closer to home. The staff is super fast and clean with their service. The chili cheese fries are to die for!

    Crushed ice! Cherry DrPepper and a burger yum this place hasn't changed much. (Tip: make sure you grab napkins sit back sit back and enjoy.)

    Food is just ok. Though I've only had their bacon cheese burger, zucchini sticks, and mushrooms. Prices are kind of on the high side.

    This isn't my first time here, but I will say their dishes have changed. Didn't want any alcohol so…read moreI settled for the passion fruit lemonade and it was very refreshing. They gave me a sample of the lavender iced tea but I wouldn't order it. Outside seating is great if you want to hear the conversation because it is loud and noisy inside, just super busy. The burger I ordered wasn't the same as in the past but they did make it to my liking with only giving me half the cheese, so that was super great. The Ahi poke stack was fresh and very delicious. Fries were seasoned perfectly. This place is has great customer service, because shrimp tacos were go off the menu after a certain time and our meal time was 7ish, so they catered to my friend and made the shrimp tacos. I didn't try the shrimp tacos but was told they were pretty good.

    Was very excited about this place, but unfortunately it was pretty disappointing. The inside is…read moresomewhat of an upscale sports bar which was fine, and the people inside were lively including the wait staff. We started with the Korean Beef "Frachos" which were easily the highlight of our entire meal. The spiraled fries were crispy, covered in a delicious sauce, tasty toppings, and the beef was tender and well-seasoned. If you are coming here I would definitely recommend getting these! Unfortunately our excitement, for what we thought would be a great meal, died there. First off, they must be using unfiltered tap water to serve because it was disgusting! I get it, water is free and I've never been one to complain about water, but we were so disgusted by it that we were shocked it was even being served. We ordered two burgers. One was a bbq bacon burger which was not bad, nothing I would go out of my way for, but I wouldn't have complained otherwise. The second burger was the bacon jam burger which was drowning in what seemed more like runny pancake syrup than a bacon jam. It leaked from the burger all over my plate and made the burger inedible. For my side I got the charred green beans, and I guess I should have taken the name at face value because they really meant it. They were completely burnt black throughout which turned to bitter powder as I took my first bite. Easily more char than green bean. The service was fine. Our server was nice, but I think they could sense my displeasure with our meal because we counted 11 table stops to make sure we were okay in the less than 1 hour that we were there.

    What can I say? Soooo glad we stopped here at The Botanist for lunch today on our way to Paso…read moreRobles. My husband commented that it made him want to move to Bakersfield which made our server Emily laugh. Limited parking in back and some street parking. We walked in without a reservation at 11:15 on a Friday and were the first customers of the day. Great decor, dim lighting, vintage looking furniture which does not sacrifice comfort for artistry. Our cocktails and meals were spectacular: Botanist Fashioned: 5/5-the brown sugar cinnamon syrup added a spicy bite to each sip which was unexpected and fun. Watermelon Sugar High:4/5-refreshing with watermelon juice freshly made in house and an ice cube with mint frozen in it. Seared cauliflower: 4/5-great appetizer for 2. The crispy chicken sandwich and the Botanist smash burger:5/5-Both had super flavorful pickles and toasted buns which always add a lovely crunch to each bite. If you're ever in Bakersfield and are at least 21, this place is well worth it! We'll hopefully be back someday. Highly recommend!

    I honestly was just looking for some take-out but I had such a good time at the botanist!…read more I love a good moody interior so I sat at the bar and the lovely bartenders were so sweet! I ended up getting a burger, fries, and a mocktail! The food was amazing but, from a student's perspective, I will say it wasn't a cheap eat. I really enjoyed the experience though so I didn't mind the little splurge! :) Would definitely come back here with friend for the apps and drinks!
