    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.

At the last minute, I actually had to move my reservation by 30min, so I called the restaurant and they were very accommodating, which I appreciated. Being a Bakersfield native I definitely wanted to check this place out being that I had visited Chase Bank prior to the vault taking over. I was absolutely amazed by the decorating on the interior. They literally left no stone unturned. Every single corner of the restaurant is beautifully decorated. I do love the whole vault theme. It definitely just feels like you're stepping back in time. The food was fantastic. On a Friday and Saturday night, they offer a prime rib special. The plate itself ran about $52. But it was well worth it. The prime rib absolutely melted in your mouth. It was paired with a beautifully baked potato. It was also served with a side of horseradish sauce as well as Au'ju, We also tried out the brussels sprouts appetizer. They were absolutely amazing. Flavor was spot on. And I would definitely recommend it if you're just wanting to try something a little bit different. Our meal also came with a soup or salad. My wife opted for the Caesar salad, with house made croutons which she said was great tasting. I opted for the soup of the day, which was an Italian wedding soup. Again great tasting everything tasted fresh and was piping hot.

I guess because it's a sports bar restaurant, and it's in Bakersfield. I got the shock of my life. It turned out, this was the best barbecue food I ever had. Not only that, but it's very affordable. I would say a bargain. I didn't have to spend 100+ dollars for 2 persons, like a lot of so called high quality barbecue restaurants. The briskets and ribs were amazing. Delicious, flavorful, and melts in your mouth. Sides were also delicious. The service was good too. You just go up and get your order. It took a little time, but the staff is helpful and friendly. I'll be back here again, the next time I'm in Bakersfield. Maybe I'll visit the Buck Owen's museum. Bakersfield is truly the Texas of California, although I've only been to El Paso, Texas.

I really enjoy my ribs they were tender and in my opinion they didn't need the sauce. I enjoyed how spacious the place is and the giants fan they have keep the place cool during this hot weather. Was just passing by for a dinner meal, and I was very happy. If I could give one recommendation maybe smoke those ribs a bit more to be a bit more tender. Definitely will be back for that tri tip.

Every time I have visited during brunch hours they were not that busy, I noticed that towards lunch time it gets pretty busy, so if you're curious about this place then I think the best time is around 9am-1pm ish from my experience. I didn't know how to feel when they transitioned Vita Vegan out since I had absolutely loved Vita Vegan, but so far the change has been great. Our whole office recently came to have lunch and staff was super friendly. Our server was very pleasant and we had no wait time; however, we came during lunch rush so it took a little time to get our food which is fine since our whole office came out together as a team. I don't have a favorite yet, but I have not had a bad experience. Everything we have tried so far has been delicious and they give large portions so you can have your leftovers later. Restroom was clean which is always a plus and is a good sign of a clean restaurant. If you haven't stopped by yet, this is your sign to go check them out! The prices are really good and not expensive, food is delicious, staff is great and the restaurant is clean!

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.
