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!

This place gets a 10/10 even though the coconut horchata was not all that. The fish was cooked perfectly, the veggies weren't soggy and the rice was amazing. I picked my fish based on what my seated neighbor received, it just looked so delicious and it was! Everything about this place is fabulous. All the dishes that came out looked like high quality dishes.

This isn't my first time here, but I will say their dishes have changed. Didn't want any alcohol so…read moreI settled for the passion fruit lemonade and it was very refreshing. They gave me a sample of the lavender iced tea but I wouldn't order it. Outside seating is great if you want to hear the conversation because it is loud and noisy inside, just super busy. The burger I ordered wasn't the same as in the past but they did make it to my liking with only giving me half the cheese, so that was super great. The Ahi poke stack was fresh and very delicious. Fries were seasoned perfectly. This place is has great customer service, because shrimp tacos were go off the menu after a certain time and our meal time was 7ish, so they catered to my friend and made the shrimp tacos. I didn't try the shrimp tacos but was told they were pretty good.

Was very excited about this place, but unfortunately it was pretty disappointing. The inside is…read moresomewhat of an upscale sports bar which was fine, and the people inside were lively including the wait staff. We started with the Korean Beef "Frachos" which were easily the highlight of our entire meal. The spiraled fries were crispy, covered in a delicious sauce, tasty toppings, and the beef was tender and well-seasoned. If you are coming here I would definitely recommend getting these! Unfortunately our excitement, for what we thought would be a great meal, died there. First off, they must be using unfiltered tap water to serve because it was disgusting! I get it, water is free and I've never been one to complain about water, but we were so disgusted by it that we were shocked it was even being served. We ordered two burgers. One was a bbq bacon burger which was not bad, nothing I would go out of my way for, but I wouldn't have complained otherwise. The second burger was the bacon jam burger which was drowning in what seemed more like runny pancake syrup than a bacon jam. It leaked from the burger all over my plate and made the burger inedible. For my side I got the charred green beans, and I guess I should have taken the name at face value because they really meant it. They were completely burnt black throughout which turned to bitter powder as I took my first bite. Easily more char than green bean. The service was fine. Our server was nice, but I think they could sense my displeasure with our meal because we counted 11 table stops to make sure we were okay in the less than 1 hour that we were there.

Hoagies is an odd name for a place that doesn't really specialize in hoagies, but whatever!…read more I looked up what their most popular meal was and it ended up being their Pismo Wrap. The wrap is filled with tri-tip, curly fries, avocado, and deliciousness. Usually when I visit a new place, I like to try different things on the menu, but Hoagies is a bit on the pricey side, so that doesn't leave much room to experiment. And after being disappointed by their fish and chips, I knew I had to stick with the Pismo Wrap being my regular order. However, the serving size is impressive. If you're ordering the wrap for lunch, you can save half for dinner. It's that massive. I couldn't finish it in one sitting. The vibe is totally laid back and feels like you're in a beach town. Service is always great here. And staff is always friendly! I highly recommend checking them out. One of my favorite places to eat at in downtown.

Now for the best part--the food! I ordered the Cali Cheesesteak with curly fries, and it was absolutely delicious. In fact, my coworkers were jealous when they saw my lunch! Needless to say, I'll be back. Next time, I'm bringing the whole crew for a group lunch!

We asked for napkins which never came and we waited a very long time to get our check and to go box. It was not our servers fault.

We showed up at noon 1 hour after they opened and the place was dead. We were the only ppl outside in the patio. During our stay 3 other couples did show up. Im hoping next time I can give them 5 stars.
