    Ground beef taco and fries.

    The tacos are absolutely delicious and a must try! Also the fries are always cooked perfectly.

    I was at the mall and was craving a burger. I googled and yelped some places in the area. I found this Jolly Kone, and it has good reviews. When I pulled up, It didn't look like it was open. I drove up to the drive-thru window and guess the owner was there. I ordered a cheeseburger and small fries which came up to $6.38. I had my own water. Man that was a great deal. I got my food and the small bag was filled halfway. It had my burger and small fries with extra fries on top! Score. The food was fresh. The burger was fire and the fries were hot and perfectly seasoned with seasoning salt. This is an excellent deal for burgers and fries in town! I will be returning.

    Across from Bob's bait bucket is the best Pastrami in Bakersfield!

    Jolly Kone, across the street from Bob's Bait bucket does not disappoint. Nice girl at the counter, and hits the right kind of Bakersfield springtime feeling that I love. The pastrami is the best in town. Excellent cheeseburger too! Delicious 20 oz strawberry milkshake, for 2.80, it must be real ice cream! I'll be returning to support local business, instead of going to the habit! Ooh also great crinkle cut fries, seasoned just right!

    Run down on the out side but food is fantastic

    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 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!

There are a lot of tables and seating between the two rooms inside and the completely shaded outdoor patio, it doesn't look as big from the outside as it truly is. The decor is really nice and earthy with tons of real vine plants, a mix of fake, cute mirrors and wall decor, and cool basket lighting. We went at the tail-end of lunch, and it was busy, but there were still a few tables open (I recommend making reservations). I ordered a raspberry drop (not overly sweet so I loved it) and my son ordered a triple berry hibiscus refresher, it was so good! For lunch, he ordered the garlic+parmesan cream pasta with chicken and not only was it scrumptious, but he had enough leftovers for another meal! I had the fish tacos- they were excellent, the pickled onions on top *chef's kiss* made them superb. I would only recommend asking for the tortillas to be doubled because they fell apart. The I'll be returning for sure with friends, and a date night with my hubby.

Service was excellent, Dakota was such a nice waiter. Food came out fairly quick and they didn't mind that we moved tables. Food tasted AMAZING. I got the Cowboy BBQ salad with fries. I also got the apple juice to drink which was nice and cold. I got an Arnold Palmer with watermelon Fresca and it was good too. Prices were pretty good, seeing it's a farm to table eatery in this economy. They were also very kind about our dietary restrictions. I have celiac disease and my sister is dairy free, so she substituted a few things on her burger. We inhaled our dinner, it was soooo yummy Seriously tho, Dakota was the best waiter, give him a raise or som
