I have never experienced what my family and I experienced last night. My family and i get there, as we're waiting to be seated, we were completely ignored by the hostess 3 times. She finally says we can sit were we would like, we sit down this man brings us water and at this time my in laws had arrived, they sat down, and we waited for almost 30 mins for someone to bring us menus and my in laws waters, the server she was helping a couple who had just walked in. Every couple that came in after us got seated, and orders were being taken right away. It was like we were completely invisible. We get up and leave. My dad's a yelper so he was for sure leaving a review, and come to find out the couple that was walking in as we were walking out had a horrible experience as well and yelped about it, and now I have had numerous of family and friends who have contacted me and told me about the lack of respect and courtesy from the servers, and how terrible the food was. This place was not cheap, and I am so thankful we left when we did. Do not waster your time. read more

We expected it to be a bit slow because it was Valentine's Day, but to be honest the place wasn't really busy. When we were waiting to be seated, one group got up and made a huge commotion because they had been waiting for a long time and haden't even gotten drinks yet. They told us good luck. To be honest, they probably got better food at a fast food place nearby, The servers were nice but still very slow. The salad and caprese were okay. But we paid $170 for a dinner that tasted worse than a tv dinner. We ordered our steak medium rare and it was like shoe leather. The mashed potatoes had no flavor and the vegetables tasted like cafeteria mixed veggies. It was nice they gave us our glass of $15 wine for free but it was the worst dinner we have had in years and years. At least we got a good laugh. read more

I attended a wedding catered by Krush. They did a fabulous job. The food was delicious and the bar service was excellent. They served our 60 guests quickly and cleaned up in a timely manner. I would highly recommend them for catering and look forward to trying the restaurant. read more

Krush - Krush Burger - American Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Went for valentines dinner, we waited over an hour to be served. Poor customer service and food was bland. 0/5 don't recommend.

I live an embarrassingly close distance to Krush, and yet I've never been. Truth be told, those 3 $ sign's above had me a little nervous that Krush would quite literally crush my pocketbook. And, my instincts are generally right. Inside... BAM. Chandelier! You can't miss this beast of a light fixture that may have been birthed in Vegas. It's beautiful, albeit slightly flashy for a strip-mall restaurant. If you didn't think that was fancy enough, maybe the red carpet rolled out from the front door will have you feeling like a celebrity. Oh, and let's not forget the reminder on the door to take off your hats... the reminder no one seems to read or care about. Inside, the restaurant is noisy. The concrete floors, while stylish, do nothing for minimizing the sound. Add a 4 piece band in the corner and you're in for a loud night. It would be remiss of me not to recommend bringing along some Aleve. There's a card-reader wine bar (similar to Imbibe) to your left of the entrance, complete with a few leather chairs and comfy seating areas. I wouldn't say I'm a wine snob, but the majority of these wines were $25 or less and charging you upwards of $10 per large pour. I resigned myself to drinking cocktails only for the night, but when it took over half an hour to get one, I found myself reluctantly pouring wine in my own glass from this overpriced contraption. Hey - at least I finally had a drink! Service was friendly when we had service. Granted, the restaurant was filled with people that evening and our table of 10 was likely an added issue for their already stressed employees. But, when we had reservations for almost a week it's really not an excuse. It's not like we just showed up. We arrived at 730, the rest of our party trickled in until 8, which was when we finally ordered food. Our meals didn't arrive until well after 9. In addition, they were out of many items and our table had to find alternatives to order. I ordered the Fig & Bleu salad topped with a medium rare filet. It was a decent salad and the meat was actually nicely done, and perfectly cooked. Is it a $20+ salad for what I was offered? Not really. But I'd still give it a solid 3.5 stars for flavor and presentation. In the end, I'd recommend Krush for cocktails and appetizers. If there are Happy Hour discounts, even better. But I just don't see myself returning in the near future. read more

This place is a blast. Watch for their special events. They are so worth it. The best in food,wine and whiskey.

This restaurant is an absolutely wonderful surprise considering the uncertainty and challenges that face the restaurant world during the pandemic. I don't know too much about the history of Krush they offer a fun night out including the ambiance, excellent food and outstanding service. It's my understanding that the two gentlemen who may be the owners are also the only employees at the moment. They do it all... cook, clean, wait tables and bartend...all duties performed with crazy good personalities and attitudes. If there is a downside, it's that they are only open 4 PM to 10 PM currently and I suspect it's because they have other jobs while at the same time trying to make this restaurant a potentially huge success. The interior of the restaurant is similar to that of a Lengthwise but with an unusual but fun twist... A huge crystal chandelier hanging from the very tall ceiling just a few feet inside the door. I would love to know the story behind that but if there isn't, they should create one. The menu is interesting and yet not overwhelming..offerings include appetizers, fresh salads of generous proportions, soups (the tomato bisque is to die for), sandwiches, hamburgers, and a T-bone steak which was a real hit at our table (perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection), specialty platters, desserts (creme brûlée, beignets to name a couple.). The whole dining experience was very impressive and within my budget! We will definitely be back read more

We went here by invitation of some friends and it's in our neighborhood and we've not tried it yet so we thought why not. I've read the mixed reviews but I'm one to form my own opinion. We went on a three day weekend and thought it would be crowded but to our surprise it wasn't at all but I'm sure it was because it was the beginning of summer and everyone was out of town. We had a reservation and were seated right away, although as I said it wasn't crowded and probably didn't need that reservation. But any other time I've been by here on a weekend it is so packed I'd suggest you make one. The decor was nice and I could see the look they were going for but I'm not sure it hit its mark. We felt like we were dining in a fishbowl since the whole restaurant is windowed and all you are looking out at is the parking lot and their patio. White table cloths and napkins, wine glasses in place, we were promptly asked for our drink order since as usual we were the first in our party to arrive. My husband ordered a glass of Merlot and I had a soft drink and soon our friends joined us. For all the stuffiness this place was going for they really need to rethink the decor and comfort of the dining room. Our seats were right in the middle of the room, stiff chairs at simple tables. We ordered their Pork Belly appetizer that came highly recommended. Unfortunately it fell short of the rave review. Undercooked as I would expect, should of had a nice sear on that juicy hunk of belly. It was chewy beyond necessity and that made it unappealing. Flavor was OK but we expected more due to the high recommendation from our server. My husband had the Seafood Pasta, I had just a salad and our guests each had a steak. Unfortunately the specialty steak my girlfriend ordered, their Ribeye was as tough as a shoe. She wasn't going to say anything but at $30+ I wasn't letting it go. I told our server how it was, not only tough but grissely too. The manager came over and heard our complaints, since we all tried it out of belief and she took it off the ticket. I really felt that she went over and above by doing that, maybe a complimentary desert would of been fine but that is how you get people to come back. My husbands pasta was very tasty and my salad was good. We will give this place another whirl, maybe on a weeknight when its not so crowded? read more

It was my birthday week-end and my daughter and I were looking for a nice place to have dinner. While we were Searching on web site. We seen that one of our dearest friend was Entertaining there. We were received immediate at the door and seated by a very friendly waiter. The menu had many excellent choices. I ordered a rib eye steak , with a side of asparagus and mashed potato. Dinner roll with whipped butter. My steak was prepared to perfection juicy and flavorful. Almond with a glass of Tobin James Ballistic Zinfandel. "I LOVE THIS PlACE." read more

I wasn't expecting the experience I had at all.... This place is excellent from customer service to food to atmosphere. They really have it down at Krush. I went lastnight and was really impressed. Loved the band, country style and sounded great. We were still able to have a conversation while enjoying the experience. Loved our wait staff~Amanda and Preston were very friendly and knowledgeable on the menu. Our food was excellent. Great variety and dessert was delicious! We saw others there we knew as well and they were in agreement that this place was much needed in Bakersfield. We all shared the same positive experience at Krush. Will definitely be back soon! read more

Brought my sister to Sunday brunch after church. Quiet and relaxing. Breakfast food was so good. My sister was skeptical at first, but lived everything she ate. The French press coffee gave us a special feel, as I have never seen it offered. We enjoyed the ambiance, attentive staff and even a table side visit my the chef. Most Sunday brunch places are crowded, often with a wait time, common food offering served in a common way. Try Krush for brunch and experience what a brunch is supposed to be. And they do offer a bottomless Mimosa for only $10. We didn't have them but the other customers said they were great. read more

Went to Krush on a Saturday night and had a great time. The staff was friendly and service was fast. We sat on the couches and sampled several of the wines from the wine bar. We ordered several appetizers, all were really yummy. The pork belly with the mustard and the parmesan crusted risotto were my favorites. The bread on the cheese plate was pretty hard but overall the apps. Were delicious. We ordered two main courses, the seafood risotto and stuffed porkchop. The seafood risotto was AMAZING! The porkchop was just ok. They have a good selection of gluten free items as well. Wine selection at the bar was okay but not phenomenal. A live band was playing at around 7:30 which was nice. Not too loud so it was still easy to hear your conversation. Will definitely come back again. read more

I went here for the first time and was pretty disappointed. Food took over an hour to reach our table after ordering. It's not like our was busy. Only 2 other tables had customers. I ordered the pork chop with 2 sides. I choose a baked potato with the works and Brussel sprouts. The pork chop was bone in. A nice cut, good size, but a little on the dry side. The brussel sprouts was a joke. One sprout cut into eighths does not qualify as "sprouts". The baked potato was small to medium. It was just ok. The food is not seasoned very well. Another person at our table ordered the fried chicken. She said it had no flavor or seasoning. Her husband had the bone in rib eye. They were out of the 16 Oz. He chose to get the larger rib eye. It may have been 1/2 inch thick. Again, bland. They do have a good sized bar. The bartender made an awesome margarita, spicey with muddled jalapeños. It was excellent. The waiter was pleasant and checked on us often, but wasn't annoying. read more

Well we haven't gotten our food yet but I can tell you that Henry our waiter is very attentive he looks checks on us great conversation and let us know what his favorites are as well Alli was amazing when we first walked in she knowledge us getting us to our table asking the basic questions that you need to make sure that you provide anyone with amazing customer service read more

zero stars. my boyfriend and I wanted to enjoy a nice dinner for valentines day but let me tell you, it was an absolute nightmare. it looked closed as we walked up to the door & my bf joked we might have to move our date to the weinersnitzel across the street. looking back at it, we probably wouldve had a better dinner had we gone there tbh. we arrived 10 minutes before our scheduled reservation yet had to wait forever to be seated. waitresses kept walking by us and did not acknowledge our existence. no hello, no welcome, no "we'll be right with you." service was extremely slow even after we got a table. and by the way, they did not ask for or verify our reservations, they just told us to sit anywhere. it made us think, had we gotten there just 5 minutes later there would be no table for us since other couples arrived shortly after.. they had a "special" menu for the holiday, which was incredibly limited, but we figured a smaller menu for efficiency was likely the reason for a whole FOUR entrée options. NOPE. first off, my champagne glass was dirty. my boyfriend and I both ordered medium rare steaks with shrimp scampi -- his was well done, mine was missing the shrimp & we had to wait longer for the corrected meals. the food was so mid. the steak was like jerky and super fatty. the mashed potatoes tasted like the "just add water" powder kind. veggies were meh. when the bill came, we noticed we had been charged for steaks and LOBSTER, which totaled up to about $70 more than our actual ticket. we raised this issue to the dude who ran the card, but he was not helpful in the slightest. we asked for the manager, who had no idea what she was doing on the computer. she said they would refund us the incorrect charge and then charge the correct one.. simple right? WRONG. she kept printing the same wrong receipt, asking us for the signed original (which they had taken from the table) and after scrambling through a stack of receipts for what felt like an eternity, finally said she would just comp our meal. our frustration was through the roof. none of what we experienced was worth it. don't come here, fr. & certainly do NOT choose this place for a first date unless you don't want there to be a second. read more

My wife and I love this place. Janice is the best waitress ever and when That Little Band is there playing it adds to the fun.

Had dinner with a friend there tonight and we both had the salmon. Salmon was average, nothing spectacular. The prepared herb butter salmon at Sprouts is better and cheaper I might add. The salad was good. Ambiance is good but as soon as a live 2 person musician started playing we couldn't have any decent conversation 'cause we couldn't hear ourselves. The musicians only had one couple paying attention. We were annoyed by the musicians... too loud and they were not very good. read more

My first visit to this restaurant was underwhelming. The staff and server were nice, but the food mediocre for the price. I'm a person that loves fine dining, but the quality of the food was not impressive. The flavor profiles were good, however the rib eye paid $43 was comparable to a steak you'd get a a cheap Vegas casino restaurant. Totally not what I had expected, and was regretfully upset that my money was wasted at this place. I won't be coming back, ever. read more

Listen, the food was phenomenal, the service was great, & we loved the atmosphere! Date night was great! Don't let the people with their panties in a bunch turn you away! We were greeted with opened arms & enjoyed the place! read more

We came here last night for my bday. We didn't realize it's more a romantic couples place or a nice quiet dinner with friends. Next time I will leave my kiddos at home but the food and service was excellent. Just FYI they do charge to cut and serve a bday cake if u bring one in. I had no idea and when it was asked if we wanted them to serve it no one told us of the charge. It was $32 for them to cut and serve but I spoke to the manager and she split the cost with me. We were very pleased with the food...none of our guest had a complaint about the food or service. Thank you so much and we will be back for sure. (This time without the kids ) read more

What a joke! Supposed to be a classy restaurant and all they have is "shared" plates. Wanted oysters for an appetizer... after a while deal of, "reviewing the newly revised menu" they haven't had them in months. ??? In an hour and a half, got 1 drink and an order of 3 crab balls. Also smoked salmon "salad". Manager decided to sit and socialize with another table that was complaining. .. for like 20 minutes before we left. Poor waitress said she she agreed 150% when I told her it was ridiculous. That they use to actually have entrees Ruined my birthday. At least she didnt charge us for the awful drinks. One positive note: the bread was good read more

Service by our server was five stars, Service of chef that night was one star. Food is five stars when cooked correctly, ours was one star that night. Main point to all this...you are only as good as your weakest link. One person can mess up the entire experience. First off, Preston was our server for the night and he was great. Put up with us drinking wine throughout our meal, and us being frustrated with the food being prepared incorrectly. He was top notch! Kudos to him!! The food has the potential to be Amazing (as this was our first visit, we all tried food off each others plates) but unfortunately the cook on duty that night was terrible. Cory (not the head chef, who is great) but the other Cory who is not in charge over cooked two of our three steaks. My wife had the chicken...it was good. The salmon I didn't try myself, but two of friends who had it said it was the best they ever had. My friends steak that was cooked to the correct temperature was amazing. Mine was too overdone and was left on the plate. For sides we had vegetables and mashed potatoes...both of these were amazing as well. I know I am giving a poor review for food that was actually good, but MY food was not, but thought it only fair to let you all know that it can be excellent. The two steaks that were overcooked were the same exact cuts, ordered the same way. Both came out overcooked. When they were both sent back, one was recooked, and the other actually came back to us with the server apologizing stating that the cook said it was correct and refused to refire. My question is, if they were both cooked at the same time, and in the same manner, why would one be okay and not the other. (he basically admitted fault by cooking one again, but not the other) Their cook really messed up that night, and aside from my sister being friends with the head chef, i probably would never come back until i hear that cook is gone. This restaurant is a little pricey with high end wine and food. A steak is $30, which comes with no sides or anything, like many higher end establishments. This is fine when you are wanting to go out to a nice meal, but i expect my $30 piece of meat to be cooked correctly and it not to be shoved back in my face by a pretentious cook in the back. They also have a self serve wine bar of sorts where you pre pay for a card, and then can sample various wines by the ounce of your choosing. It was fun, and they actually had one of my favorite wines that i was having a hard time choosing. I think there was about 24 wines lined up you could try out from some $30 bottles ($6 per glass) on the low end to options for $100 per glass. Over all it could be a really great place. It is just hard to pay a $160 bill and the steak not come out to your liking. read more

If you've read my other reviews, you know that a comfortable dining room is a must for a top-quality experience. I sincerely hope the owners at Krush will put a little more into their noisy over-crowded space. Their pretty good food deserves a chance to live up to the steep a la carte prices in a setting that highlights rather than detracts from it. Bacon-wrapped shrimp should come out crispy, but burned takes crisp too far. Between two orders of scallops, we both agreed that the sauce was rich and delicious, but chef needs to coach his prep staff on rinsing properly - ouch! sandy! Rack of lamb was tender, well-seasoned and very generously cut, and complemented by a side of yummy garlic mashed potato. Grilled asparagus side was composed of about six lightly garlicked stalks - delicious but skimpy. The wine program was a puzzle - there's an automated by-the-ounce pour for some choices, then others by the glass, and then any of them by the bottle, at least that's what I think I figured out... We didn't meet the sommelier until late into our meal. Why I'd like to return: the food was good, with potential. Friendly, attentive service from each staff member we met. Why we won't be back anytime soon: the noisy overcrowded table forrest. No valet, and no parking - Mister dropped me at the door then had to go park in the dirt behind the little shopping center. A $200 per couple tab that includes the way marked up grocery store wine. I enjoy a dressy dining room, and a fancy a la carte menu, but Krush needs to step up their game. read more

Had dinner with my sisters. Such a beautiful atmosphere. The food was fantastic, and the service was wonderful. We sampled many of the appetizers, and wines. My entrée was the surf and turf and it was tender, rich, absolutely delicious! My sisters both had the pork tenderloin which they enjoyed as well. We will definitely be returning! read more

Krush - Surf & Turf - American Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Decided to give this place a try for Sunday brunch today. The place was empty and it was weird. We left.

First impressions as you walk in is that this is a beautiful little spot. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. We mostly came for drinks and good conversation with friends, which we had plenty of. As far as food goes we started with the stinky fries and the bacon wrapped shrimp. The stinky fries were ok, but we thought the garlic a little strong, not too much so that I wouldn't eat them again. I mean the name is stinky fries. The bacon wrapped shrimp was very good, even though I do not care for shrimp usually. I would definitely order the shrimp again. We then had a wedge salad. Not my favorite style of salad and this one didn't do it for me. My husband however did enjoy it very much, Again I prefer a regular salad, over a wedge salad anyways. For dinner we had the the swordfish. Our friends also had the swordfish. They really enjoyed their piece of fish, finding it moist and flavorful. Ours however was dry and I couldn't eat my piece. My husband could not eat it either. We didn't complain or send it back. The service was so good and our friends who ordered the same thing liked theirs. Something must have gone wrong with ours somehow, It happens. Overall I would probably go back and give some other menu items a try. Next time I will not drink the fireball (which I didn't want lol) even if the servers bring it to me at my husband's request. Thanks to the servers for their great sense of humor and helping our evening to be fun and (next time, no fireball.) read more

I had high expectation of Krush with its grand opening. I have been (im)patiently waiting for their doors to open to experience the inventive eats and enjoy a relaxed evening out without having to worry about a bar fight breaking out as in lesser establishments. Krush delivered on all levels. Our waitress was extremely friendly and quite witty with our playful banter. She was attentive without being overbearing and very helpful. My water glass was never empty which is something that can be hard to find sometimes. The restaurant was not very busy as they have just opened, but I assume that will not last long. Our food came out promptly after ordering. The braised pork belly is absolutely divine! Two members of our party of 3 ordered lamb (rare and medium rare) both of which were cooked perfectly. The lamb was delicious and very well seasoned. However, as much as I love good lamb, the stuffed pork chop was to die for! I don't even like pork chops! Executive Chef Bruce and his brigade have really outdone themselves. When it takes 3 days just to make an appetizer, you know it is going to be worth every bite, and it absolutely was. My one complaint about this place is that they charge way to much for drinks from the bar ($2 upcharge for ordering a drink with ice? Seriously?? Are we in the Sahara?) And only in Vegas can you get away with charging $20 per drink when ordering a double. They really need to rethink their drink pricing. The wine bar is modestly priced for most samplings, though, as long as you aren't looking for mixed drinks and just want to try the tasting portions. All in all, I highly recommend this place, if for nothing else, the fantastic food. There are few places in town that can take fresh ingredients and prepare them perfectly without ruining the authenticity of the flavors. I see several returning visits to this establishment very soon! read more

Went for the music. A few friends recommended the food. I had the caesar salad for starters. The lettuce was wilted and wasn't even cold. I also ordered the Ahi. DO NOT order the Ahi! It was seasoned by someone who apparently had no idea what they were doing. It was served with soy sauce and wasabi which was fine but the seasoned Ahi was so salty, I couldn't eat it. A complete waste of money. LESSON LEARNED... go for the wine. Go for the music but don't go for the food. read more

Came here Friday night for a girls night out and loved it. We all shared food which was wonderful we had the tacos, pomme fritte, calamari, sliders, Brussels sprouts and pasta ( since gnocchi was out). Everything was amazing. I should mention there were 6 of us and it was . Even the server was wonderful. We had a stage 5 clinger that kept talking to us and our sever was very kind and asked him to give us some space, which was lovely. I plan to come back with my husband and other friends soon. The service was exceptional and they even gave me a smaller drink at the end of the night (and didn't charge me) when I decided to skip it and head home read more

Great choice for a Saturday evening! We had some of the best service from Dave on this night that we have ever had in Bakersfield. He was also one of the bartenders but was always on the ball! Walking in, the place looks nothing like you may think. I felt from outside, you could not see anything! Once through that door, the room is open and you can see the invisible separation from dining side to bar side. There is an upscale feel. The hostess stand had a nice young gal waiting on in-coming diners and she let us sit wherever we wanted. We chose the bar side at a high table as we were interested in drinks/appies and menus were promptly brought to us. Water soon followed. REAL cloth napkins here, no cheap paper ones here! Moscow Mules were offered whiskey style instead of vodka and these were said to be good. Sweet wine was enjoyed by me and they will offer you a sample of something if you like before you order. The signature margarita was pleasant and not full of ice in their short glass, yielding you more than 3 sips! We ordered a beet salad, coconut shrimp and the Caprese salad. The beet plate for $9 was an amazing value. Full of crisp beets around the plate, greens underneath and a big chunk of cheese in the center. The cheese was given over to hubby whose mind was read by our server who brought us a nice warm basket of olive bread. The bread was good. The coconut shrimp was also good ($12). Somewhat standard but properly prepared and maybe a tad larger in size than other places may serve. 6 on a plate with a chili sauce. The Caprese salad - you have to be ok with your mozza as a mousse. It was creamy and the plate was fully eaten but not traditional. I liked the baby tomatoes on that plate. My only wee thing is that everything was overdressed in balsamic vinegar. Still, everything was tasty and fresh so, I would come back to try the main dishes. Live music started up around 7pm and the bar side soon filled up. Washrooms clean. I was told Krush is closed on Sunday and Mondays. The food is very good here but I would come back for service alone. read more

Took my wife to Krush for the first time tonight (10/17/14) for dinner. We had a nice experience. The decor of the restaurant was very elegant, and clean. The hostess that greeted us at the front door was very warm and inviting. After informing her of our reservation, she promptly sat us at our table. Our waitress Stephanie, was extremely pleasant and attentive during our entire visit. She made sure our glasses were always full, and continuously checked on us to make sure that my wife and I were enjoying our meals, and our evening. My wife and I started off with the martini mashed potatoes which were good. We've never had mashed potatoes on top of cherry tomatoes in a martini glass, but they were surprisingly good for our starter. Next I had the mixed green salad with balsamic vinegarette dressing. The mixed green salad had walnuts, strawberries, and cheese with some small tomatoes sprinkled about. That salad was ok for me, but I feel that really has to do with my personal preferences. I'm pretty plain about my salads, lettuce, spinach, bacon, carrots, tomatoes, and dressing. Nothing really fancy for me. My wife had a vegetable soup which she did not eat. She said it didn't taste good to her. That being said when our attentive waitress Stephanie came and checked on our food, and to see how we were doing, she noticed that my wife hadn't ate her soup, and asked if my wife liked it, to which she replied no, Stephanie gladly removed it from our bill since she didn't like it. My main course was the NY steak with sautéed mushrooms. My steak had good flavor, but not the WOW factor I was hoping for. My steak was prepared exactly to my liking, and was prepared in a timely manner. The steak was hot, and ready to eat, when it was brought to my table. My wife had the stuffed pork. She told me that her pork was a little on the dry side, but had decent flavor. She paired her pork with a side of asparagus, which she enjoyed. After dinner we both enjoyed dessert, with a cup of coffee. They brew the coffee in a french press right at your table which makes a flavorful cup of coffee. I had some kind of pumpkin brûlée, and my wife had a chocolate tart, both of which were really good. This was our first visit to Krush, and had been wanting to try it for some time. The atmosphere was very lovely. It appeared very well maintained, and every employee had a specific job to make the dining experience a good one, which all of them appeared to be doing very well. Our waitress Stephanie did a fantastic job serving us, and attending to our every need. The food was good, but not really exciting. Our meals were prepared as we had requested them. They had just good flavor, but nothing really blowing us away. All-in-all we had a good experience for our first visit, and would give Krush a second chance to wow us with something different on the menu. read more

First time I've ever had to add salt to my meal, ever. Sadly, the waitress offered us salt after our first bites as if it was a regular request. The waitress didn't explain about the wine bar, and the menu didn't mention it until you got to the back page, so upon first glance it looks like you can only order a very slim selection of wines by the glass. When we ordered wine by the glass and asked with confused looks in our faces if these were the only glass, she said yes and never mentioned the wine bar to us. Our entree's came out before our soup and salad, and the food was very subpar and not worth what we paid. The atmosphere was very open and cold and didn't set the ambiance that the gaudy chandelier and white table clothes suggested. Overall, huge disappointment. read more

Surprised with a Date night out and thought Krush would be the perfect place.We found a table pretty easily, were seated and started with wine. Had three different people ask us to take our orders so we thought the service would be exceptional all evening. From then on it just kind of fizzled. Weren't given silverware when we ordered appetizers, dirty plates were left, refills were very slow to come, and the food was just alright. My steak was over cooked, the sides were bland and my dates pasta/shrimp dish was just ok. The whole experience could be summed up with one word- underwhelmed. Then they had a band come in and it was so loud in the small restaurant I couldn't hear the person sitting next to me. Went in with really high hopes, left confused. read more

I've been to Krush a few times and always have the same excellent experience. I came into town to visit friends and attend the Roaring 20's New Years Eve Party and it was one of the best I've ever been to. The Staff and service is impeccable, the kindest and nicest to be around. The atmosphere is classy but fun. The band Last Call is one of the best bands around along with all the dancing we all did. Thank you Krush for an amazing event! read more

Krush - New Years Eve 2017 - American Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Just ate here, and what an AMAZING experience! Great menu, great wine list! Ordered Caprese Salad to start, the olive oil, balsamic, salt and spices were amazing! Had a glass of the house "Krush" Syrah(which is a Sextant grape) which was amazing! Complex up front and nose, very smooth on the palate. Ordered the Jambalaya....Wow! Amazing- plenty of Chicken and Sausage, and the spice was just right. The thing that really made it was the owner and the GM came over and we had a very nice conversation. To top it off, Wendell, the chef came out and we had a great and fun conversation! Quality and fun experience and people throughout! read more

I was told that this place is a wine bar which to me it is not. They do have a wide selection of wines and they have wine tasting which you have to get it from a machine. To me a wine bar is a place where they majority serve wine, have some tapas, and have a server to explain to you about the wine. This place is more of a restaurant then a wine bar. Just because you put 3 machines to measure your pours which makes you look cheap BTW doesn't mean your a wine bar. When you replace a server to a machine well then there is not much good to say. Also they have a small section for the "wine tasting" area that is ok. The place itself is beautiful, the food looked amazing, the staff was friendly, the band created a great atmosphere and majority of the wine was delicious. I would come here more for a dinner date. read more
