    Meat loaf smashed potatoes and roll
    Alex V.

    The food was ok. I ate a lot the steak was decent. The macaroni and cheese was good coming from my son he ate it. Deserts were a good selection. Now the terrible stuff was the floors were sticky my tennis shoes were sticking to the floor standing there. The bathrooms men's in particular oh my god it was enough to make you run from the restaurant. The service was good. Would probably not recommend or go back again in a long time.

    Came in not greeted well. The guy at the steakhouse seems like he hates his job. Too many people not that many food options refills took forever. We did not have a dedicated waiter. Crappy jazz music playing in the background. Golden corral? There's nothing golden about this place. The guy at the meat house don't even get me started on him. I asked for rare steak and he gave me a RAW steak. DON'T COME HERE UNLESS YOU LIKE HEARING CRAPPY JAZZ MUSIC, EATING RAW MEAT AND WAITING 20 MINUTES TO FINALLY GET A REFILL ON YOUR DRINKS. Now for the positives 1) edible food (besides the steak) 2) the drinks were cold and if you're like me and my family, we sat down and pretended to be rich people talking about our business if you're reading this think long and hard before coming here, but if you do come here, enjoy it as much as you can, even if it's bad, that's what life is all about :)

    My family of 4 went this past Friday in the evening. It seemed crowded only because noone was allowed to sit at the area in front of the cashiers or at the other end of the restaurant by the bathrooms. So it seemed we were elbow to elbow at the section by the salad bar. I didn't like that. On the receipt it said we were charged the weekend rate, I didn't know Friday evening is considered the weekend so our tab came out to 100 dollars. I was a bit surprised! My husband and I tried to eat a bit of everything but my husband and i, especially my girls, we can't eat alot. We tried! I dont think what they serve nor how much we ate equals 100 dollars. I don't think anyone could. The steaks had a lot of fat. The spighetti and penne pastas were pretty good but my daughters fettuccine pasta was a bit hard. The pizzas were alright. The shrimp tasted like orange chicken which I thought was good. The buscuit i used with gravy was a bit hard. There was no cotton candy being served, nor any cones for the ice cream. I was disappointed with dinner, maybe we would return for breakfast but never again for dinner. Our two waiters, a young man and young woman were friendly, they kept our table clean and kept our glasses filled very nicely.

    The manager that was rude

    My family and I wanted to go to celebrate my parents anniversary. My parents love buffets and wanted to go. Upon entry we wanted to pay for my parents plate and so they wouldn't pay, and the guy said they had to be there. We told him they were at the door and he stated they needed to get their drinks. He was rude. My family and I were waiting for everyone in our party to get there to congratulate my parents on their anniversary and the MANAGER was very rude!!! Rushing us to have a seat when there wasn't any other customers after us. He was trying to sit us all at different tables so we asked if we could have a larger table. He was rude and said no because the server needs to be near the other customers (which she would have since it wasn't far) then he made the excuse it was "too hot" a table over because the AC was just turned on. He was over all grumpy, extremely rude, and unprofessional!! He continuously kept giving our party dirty looks. The pizza was undercooked and very doughy which I also didn't enjoy. Needless to say, we felt uncomfortable, and didn't enjoy our time at that location.

    Decent buffet, lots of choices. Not much ambience. Empty dishes are quickly removed from table. Good place to get variety.

Most of the staff are great, however, everytime i come with my partner, we cant help but notice that the older waitress Mary gives us a strange type of vibe/treatment everytime we have her as our waitress. She rarely will acknowledge us, one time she walked up to our table and didn't greet us or ask for anything and when we finally said hello first, she didnt greet us back but instead just took our drink order. She also regularly brings us our check before we even finish our first plate, and doesnt do this with other patrons or people sitting. We recently came close to lunch time and quickly handed us our check which we figured that they might charge the difference or recharge us for lunch. However we were the only people in the dining room that she did not offer this upcharge or if we were staying for lunch. Just handed us our check and walked away. We enjoy the food, however, dont always feel welcomed if it makes sense.

Where you place your omelet order confused me since this was my first time here. There were people standing up against the wall to the left and then people by the rope in the middle of the food. I think signs would be helpful. It would be clear for people to know where to order their omelets and pancakes and who knows what else.

I love the beautiful old world decor with the dark rich wood and the beautiful murals that they have kept as well. It's so nice to know one of Bakersfield's traditional restaurants has been kept in tact. Tony was our awesome server this evening. We each started with the tasty wonton soup. Warm and soothing with tender wantons & vegetables in as rich broth. We had the sweet and crunchy walnut shrimp, so mouthwatering! We also offered the dumplings in red sauce. My companion ordered the red sauce on the side. I actually prefer the dipping sauce. So we both got to have it our way. If you haven't been lately and are looking for a delicious Chinese meal this is the experience you are looking for.

After we passed the homeless man drinking the green algae water outside, all was good from there. It was 102 degrees when we arrived, and soon as you walked in the delicious cold air hit us. This place is big! Perfect for big groups. We were greeted right away, and our drinks brought to us quickly There are so many options to choose from. I always love a good bowl of sizzling rice soup, so had to get that. My hubby ordered the spicy crispy beef, and I got the coconut shrimp. The crispy beef was so tender and amazing flavor. My shrimp wasn't white cream I expected on the top, it was a different color. I'm not sure why, but I didn't care it was delish. The portions are large, we will be eating the leftovers for a couple days. The owner was so nice, too. Don't let the outside fool you. Go check it out! 8/17/26
