    I suggested this place for another girls brunch and it did not disappoint. At first a couple of the girls were not impressed with the small M-F breakfast menu, but once we ordered and ate our food, we were all fascinated...and full. I decided to give the Oh, My Toast a try which is their twist on avocado toast. This had avocado, feta, radish, PICKLED ONIONS, and an egg however you want it cooked on sourdough toast. It also had some type of seasoning on it that was absolutely amazing!!! My friends went with The Wrap and the Bagel Sandwich, both with fries. Everyone was satisfied and happy! We all topped our meals off with espresso martinis and stranger things cocktails. I love this place and will continue to tell people about it. Even our server was amazing!

    This place is seriously one of my favorites! The food is always packed with flavor, and everything I've tried has been amazing. I also love the atmosphere, it has both a café and a bar, making it the perfect spot to celebrate anything or just stop by anytime. The owner is incredibly kind, the staff is always welcoming and hospitable, and the location is great. I can't recommend this place enough!

    Tri-Tip sandwich

    Food was amazing, flavor was incredible and the fries are to die for! Service was amazing as well, super fast, no wait times for a Sunday brunch for two (10:30am). Decor was super cute, and we were in and out in less than 45 mins, too good and definitely will be coming back!

    Came here for a friend's birthday, and loved it! Service was great, waiter offered to keep the cake in the refrigerator for us- brought us plates, spoons, and a knife once we were ready for it. Their food and drinks were delicious! Definitely coming back!

    I visited this Indian fusion restaurant for brunch and overall I enjoyed it. The wrap was pretty standard, but still had good flavor. The fries had Indian spices with a small kick of spice that made them super delicious! Regarding some other food options, my friend ordered the pork belly breakfast tacos and unfortunately she wasn't a fan of them. Our server was nice and attentive. However, one of the downsides was that it took a long time for our food to come out. Also, their soda machine was down and they have pretty limited beer choices, so beverages in general were limited that day. They did have champagne with sorbet available. This restaurant seemed like semi-upscale but chill spot. They do have TVs to watch sports, but they did not have the sound on. Overall, I would definitely like to return to this spot to try some of the food they have to offer for lunch and dinner.

    Harrington House is one of those Bakersfield spots that really deserves more love. I stopped in for the chicken sandwich and the paneer sandwich, and both were excellent in their own way. The chicken sandwich had a great crispy bite and was packed with flavor, while the paneer sandwich was fresh, satisfying, and just different enough to make it memorable. The veggies in both the sandwiches tasted crisp and fresh, and the bun was nicely toasted. The french fries were super crispy and very seasoned, exactly the ones you keep eating even when you're already full. What also stood out was the atmosphere and the people behind the place. Karen, the owner, is genuinely sweet and welcoming, and you can tell this business is built with care and pride. Supporting local spots like this matters, especially when good food and good service come together the way they do here. If you're thinking about going, today seems like a great time since they don't appear to be very busy. If you can't make it today, a weekday visit would probably be your best bet, since weekends seem to be the busiest. Either way, Harrington House is worth checking out if you want a solid meal from a local Bakersfield business.

    I always get a little nervous when I walk into a restaurant and it's a ghost town. But I had been wanting to try Harrington House for some time now, so I took a seat at the bar and was greeted by Karen. She suggested a drink from the happy hour menu, and it was delicious. I wish I remembered the name, but it was a mezcal margarita. I ordered the tri-tip bites as my appetizer and India's Hot chicken sandwich. Everything was perfectly seasoned and delicious. The Indian fusion added a unique taste I enjoyed. Service was quick, friendly, and efficient (I was the only customer, so I'd hope so). Not sure if they are always that slow or if it was just the time and day I went, but y'all need to try it!

    I have to update my review, for a very special reason. Harrington House, is located on the southwest corner of Stockdale Highway and Buena Vista. I would say it's been open for approximately 3-4 years. It is an Indian fusion restaurant, with a lot of Indian inspired menu items. The wife and I have been on dates here, family outings, as well as dates with other couples. The menu is not vast but it is packed full of flavor and suitable for the average Joe. They have delicious cocktails and one of my favorites is the seltzers. Probably one of the bigger happy hours, especially comparable to the menu size. The update on my review comes after walking into a newish restaurant, with great food, good drinks, and outstanding service, wrapped up in a unique spin on a restaurant, with ZERO customer base, on a Saturday night. It just came to our surprise, how a winning restaurant could be in a slump. In an attempt to bump up business, you of course don't know their backstory, or how long they might have been hurting but u truly feel this place should be doing better than most. Overall, I am only one person, writing a simple review on some delicious drinks and a few appetizers, consisting of great tasting wings and some of the best fries in town. All in all, I believe this is a great restaurant for the greater Bakersfield area and shouldn't be hurting like this. I just couldn't stand by and watch a non chain restaurant fail, especially with a great overall feel and in some prime restaurant real estate. So if you're looking for a place in Bakersfield, for brunch, lunch or dinner, this is a spot you should be trying out. Hope this helps and see you guys at the next spot.

    Finnally went to HH after long time browsing through the reviews! This place has such a nice atmosphere and love the way its decorated with brown leather chairs. I was suprised on the indian flavor in my Nics cali cut which was just superb! The fries are insane seasoned amazingly I can eat them all day! The staff all very welcoming and friendly. Only recommendations we have is, we sat on a back booth table none of them had been cleaned off yet from the previous customer, im unsure if the other customers had just left or if the tables arent cleaned until they need to be cleaned but just a tidbit that gives a slightly negative first impresion. All in all: I loved the flavor of the food and will be back!

    Peach Mojito
    Joe M.

    The drinks were fantastic, I enjoyed the Peach Mojito, and the Tri Tip bites were super tender and very tasty. I was a little disappointed with the wings, over cooked and kind of dry. The sauce on the wings was very mild for both, not terrible, but I would go somewhere else for wings. The waitress was very nice, great at her job, I wish I could remember her name. Overall, I liked this restaurant, and will be back, would love to try other items!

    Got Harrington House for Sunday brunch and was seated right away. The place has a warm, welcoming vibe that makes you feel right at home the moment you walk in. I ordered Randy's Patty Melt with fries, and it did not disappoint. The patty was perfectly salted and juicy, and the cheese melted over it just right, simple but done really well. The fries were crispy, seasoned perfectly, and the kind you can't stop picking at even when you're full. Service was friendly, fast, and attentive without feeling rushed. Overall, a great place to stop by!

    Patty melt

    The place wasn't as busy when we ate there, so it was quiet and we were seated right away. The place looks nice, clean. The staff was very nice. We ordered the HH burger and a patty melt. Something simple. Surprisingly, the food was very good. The bacon jam on the burger was nice, it didnt overpower the rest of the burger. You could taste the freshness of the burger patty. The Patty melt was definitely good. Better than most ive had in Bakersfield. It came with fries. The seasoning had a kick to it, but in a good way and Im not a fan of spice. But, yea. It gave the fries a pop. Would I recommend this place? Definitely. Very good food and will be back to try the other items on the menu.

    Overall, I enjoyed this place. The ambiance was nice and inviting, the staff was friendly and the coffee was delicious. My friend got the PB&J and I tired it and I really wanted to enjoy it, but it was weird having arugula on it. I also wasn't a fan of the curry coconut peanut butter but I did like their house made blueberry jam. It was also expensive at $16 for one slice of bread with the forementioned items. I would come back for the coffee and perhaps try other food items.

Then I drove back to Los Angeles very satisfied. Halfway to LA, I realized I left my credit card at the restaurant. I called them and spoke to Fernando who confirmed to me they have my credit card. He said they will close at 9pm but someone will still be there if I make it before 9:30pm. I got back to the restaurant at 9:25 and true enough, Mykayla was there and handed my credit card back to me, though they are closed already. Thank you to Fernando and Mykayla for the great help to get me my card back. Thank you to the wonderful people who work here and the management who ensures the wonderful food, topnotch service and people who work here, like Fernando and Mykayla!

    A Delicious Stop After the Farmer's Market!…read more Stopped by Mas Bella after the farmer's market and had such a great meal! We started with three drinks: the Tullum Bloom, Strawberry Margarita, and Strawberry Lemon Drop. All three were delightfully fruity and refreshing, making it hard to pick a favorite! For food, we ordered the birria bao buns, shrimp bao bun, chile relleno, crispy beef taco with refried beans and rice, and camarones with refried beans and soft tortillas. The birria bao bun was my absolute favorite! The mini bao is packed with flavorful birria, and I absolutely loved the consommé they serve alongside it for dipping. It's such a fun combination, and that consommé takes the bao to another level. I also really enjoyed that they make their salsas in-house. They served both a verde and a roasted red salsa with the buns, and both were delicious. The chile relleno was another standout. That melted, cheesy goodness inside was everything you want from a chile relleno! The crispy beef taco was an unexpected winner. It was served with what seemed to be the same delicious birria-style beef, so it was instantly a favorite. The crispy shell paired perfectly with the tender, flavorful meat. The camarones with soft tortillas were also really good. The shrimp were well seasoned, and the soft tortillas made them perfect for building little tacos.
