The wide variety of menu options makes this place a great choice for larger groups looking for both breakfast and lunch. The garlic fries and onion rings are well above average and definitely worth ordering. And of course, the Fish and Chips have earned their legendary local status for a reason -- a must-try. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted, setting the tone for a great experience with good vibes and above-average service throughout. read more

We went for the first time to this location a few days ago and again today. Service was great and the food was delicious! The fish & chips is a must have. The batter on the fish is very tasty and crispy. We also tried the French dip which is made with Tri tip and added Swiss cheese and grilled onions and that was really good too. My son ordered the burger and he said it was ok. While there we saw a plate come out a that looked amazing, it was one of the specials called champagne chicken. We ordered that too and we all shared it. The mushroom sauce on the chicken was so good. It was served on top of a bed of mashed potatoes and topped with 2 stalks of asparagus. It was pretty busy obviously cause it was a Sunday but our food didn't take long. There was plenty of tables still open and it wasn't too loud. read more

Finally tried this place after passing it so many times and we love it! The portions are huge and the prices are affordable! The service was amazing from the moment we walked in. Restaurant is huge, and the patio looks big as well for larger parties. Can't wait to go back (: read more

The presentation of the dish was visually appealing, with a creamy gravy-smothered chicken fried steak, a side of potato hashbrowns, and a delicate purple orchid for garnish. However, the taste did not live up to the aesthetic promise. The meat had an unexpectedly sour taste, which ultimately led to a case of food poisoning. It's worth noting that meat is not supposed to taste sour, as this indicates spoilage. Would I come back? Probably not. read more

This review is just for their to-go service and the fish and chips I ordered. I was craving for fish and chips one afternoon then decided to stop by here. Service was fast and the fish and chips were delicious. It was crispy on the outside and soft in the inside. It wasnt salty either. Service was fast probably bec it was before 5. Nevertheless, I would like to go back here and try their breakfast menu. read more

Came in on a Sunday around 9 and surprisingly it was quiet. We were sat right away and our server was very kind and took our order right away. We ordered the chilaquiles and some chicken and waffles. Unfortunately the food wasn't the best. The sauce tasted like tomato sauce and the chicken needed seasoning. Wouldn't mind coming back to try something different next time. read more

If you like fish and chips, give them a try. May be the best in bakersfield. Also had their chicken tenders and Chili Cheese Fries. All were delicious and I highly recommend them. Service was very attentive and fast. Ambiance is quite and homely. I noticed a lot of the customers were repeat customers who they were greeted warmly by names and even their usual order. Good place to eat. Will definitely be back to try more of their menu. read more

Its been nice having Mossmans so close by we can walk over for dinner. The food and service is always great and the prices reasonable. My wife enjoys a variety of dishes including burgers, sandwiches, and their specials while im a creature of habit and always get the chicken tenders and fish with a salad which always tasted great. My only complaint is the lack of consistency in the portion of chicken and fish pieces I receive. Some nights I fell like I got my moneys worth and other nights I feel slighted.. read more

We have been to Mossman's several times and have enjoyed their food. We went last Thursday and both of us ordered fish & chips. I think they had been cooked, gotten cold and refried. The fish was tough and very chewy. We told our waitress, who then left saying she'd talk to someone. She came back, gave us our bill, and left again. No apology or anything. I don't think we'll be going back anytime soon. We noticed on our way out that there were very few customers in the place. I guess the word has gotten out. read more

Came the day before Mother's Day as the previous restaurant we planned to visit was packed. Arrived and there were few patrons and instantly felt comfortable with the vibe of the restaurant. We ordered the onion rings as an appetizers and I ordered the Fish and Chicken and Garden salad. First, the food portions were ABUNDUNT! The onion rings were piping hot and extremely delicious. Next, my entree came and everything was delicious! I was expecting a small salad with my entree and it was an abundant salad with ham and other toppings! The chicken was juicy and breading was well seasoned. The fish was perfectly seasoned and very delicious. The service from the waiters and waitresses was superb. We left very full and happy with our evening dinner! Thank you! read more

We visited this restaurant on Saturday, May 24, 2025 @ approximately 10:00 am. The restaurant has plenty of parking and patio seating. We were seated immediately upon arrival. We were originally seated at a booth and like most booth seating, you're lower than the table because you sink into the seat. I requested a table and we were reseated at a table /booth combo; better than the previous. Our orders were taken promptly and waitstaff was attentive. The atmosphere was very casual and not overly loud or crowded. I ordered Mossman's Original Fish and chips. The fish was seasoned perfectly and fried to perfection. The fries were undercooked and a bit hard. The coleslaw was bland. I probably wouldn't order this dish again. My sister order the chicken and waffles. It consisted of several chicken strips and one waffle and a homemade maple syrup with jalapeños. She said it was delicious. My niece order off the kids menu. Four pieces of French toast and two strips of bacon. She said it was ok. I also ordered onion rings. The onion rings were served piping hot and fried crispy. Overall the food was okay and the service was excellent. Bathroom was clean and nicely stocked. Note: there's a 3% charge fee for using a credit card. read more

If you're going to Mossman's, I hear you have to try the Fish & Chips. That's what we were in the mood for. I think this used to be the Broken Yoke. It's a very spacious, open restaurant. Mossman's gives it a homey feel. The servers are pleasant and efficient. The booths are comfortable. The fish was tender and not over battered. The fries were plentiful. This is a good place to eat. Mossman's lives up to its reputation. read more

When they fry the chicken freid steak on a griddle , thats fine , then the whoever drops it a deep fryer should be removed , had to saw it into little black pieces , yes saw it , bottom was as black as the pavement out side , so I gave up , fed it to the dogs in the am , they kinda seemed to like it and gagged it down , not a total waste of $25 , I guess , sticking with the bowling ally , at least have a fighting chance. read more

The meat in the French Dip was so tough we took it home for the dog. Pastrami was tasteless and dry. Staff was friendly.

We came in around 7:15 on a Friday night. The restaurant was not busy at all, yet the service was some of the worst I've experienced. We ordered 5 drinks and only received 4. When I asked about the missing one, the waitress actually said, "Sorry, I don't have an extra hand!" -- completely unprofessional. When the 5th drink finally came, it was missing the lemon we had specifically requested. For food, we ordered 2 kids' meals and 2 dinner meals, one with soup and one with salad. All 4 meals came out quickly, but the soup and salad were forgotten until we reminded the waitress. Same with the dinner rolls -- which we again had to ask for. None of this should have happened, especially when the restaurant was clearly not busy. Again we got the " Sorry, I don't have an extra hand!" Comment after each side dish came out. Instead of paying attention to her tables, the waitress spent her time chatting behind our booth. The food was fine, but the service was absolutely horrible. This wasn't just oversight -- it was complete lack of care or effort. I almost asked for a manager, and honestly should have. Rick, I still have not received any messages from you. read more

I wish I could do half a stars.... Honestly give it a 3.5. Very busy on weekend mornings; but they seemed to figure it all out. Ordered my to go order.... Took about twenty mins or so . Wish they had a water station why you wait. Shoot, this weather is hot. Ordered the chili verde omelet.... Was good .... Chunks of meat. My husband ordered the country fried steak.... They give a good amount of gravy on the side. Gravy is a little watery though. However; he ordered biscuits n gravy and I dunno about what they called a biscuit- it was more like a hamburger bun or dinner roll . Wish the biscuit was actually a biscuit - would have complimented the gravy a lot better. *used to be the old broken yolk on buena vista* read more

When I heard Mossman's was getting their own restaurant outside of the bowling alleys, I couldn't wait to go! Bakersfield has long been missing a good fried fish restaurant since the departure of my beloved Sea Breeze. For those who don't know, Mossman's took over the Broken Yolk Cafe on White Lane and Buena Vista. It doesn't look like there was any serious demo done to the building just new decor. The place is huge and I we hope that soon it will be to full capacity. They have a HUGE outdoor patio with plenty of fans and even Roman shades that can be rolled down when the sun is beaming. The day we went, they had been open for just over a week and there was a steady stream of take out orders being picked up. There are a few kinks they need to work out, mostly with cooking the food in a timely manner, but I'm sure they're up for the task. So the hubby and I both ordered the Original Fish & Chips but substituted the slaw for a garden salad. The fish was light and flaky, it was just missing the seasoning (This is where I began reminiscing about the good ole Sea Breeze days). Our fries weren't as crispy as I would've liked and they were also unseasoned. The salad was okay but they put it in the world's smallest bowl so eating it without making a mess was impossible! The biscuit was delicious! So light and fluffy! My daughter ordered the French toast and said it was good. I'm hoping that our food "issues" are attributed to new restaurant kinks and will eventually get worked out. I'm willing to give them another try before completely dismissing them, especially since we desperately need a fried fish place in town! C'mon Bakersfield, let's go out and support a local business that needs to stay around for years to come! read more

Service was terrific. Pleasant servers for our large breakfast party. Although we came during breakfast I had to order the fish & chips. Meanwhile my wife ordered the French toast. Both were very good although the eggs were ordered over medium and came out over easy. The French fries also are not salted or seasoned but they really didn't need it. Next time I go back I'll try some breakfast items as my wife's ham look phenomenal. read more

Can't say how happy I am seeing came here. I personally don't like going to the location in the bowling alley because of the noise and how everything smells like feet. This new location is such an improvement. Even though they didn't change the ambiance much from the previous restaurant, it still had a bit that sets it apart like the new pics in the wall. The food was great. My husband got the signature fish and chips and said it was excellent. My oldest daughter and I split the pancakes and the chilaquiles and both were delicious. My middle daughter also got a three stack and loved them. Our server, Junior, was so friendly and helpful. Checked on us regularly, left a carafe of coffee for the hubby, and even gave us to-go drinks for the road. We will definitely be back and highly recommend. read more

Wow! Went on a Friday and it was packed, but was seated quickly. Our waitress was so sweet, attentive, and prompt bringing refills just as drinks were being finished. Couldn't go wrong with an order of fish and chips and the serving was pretty large. The fish was fresh and crispy, the coleslaw was cold and sweet, and the fries were absolutely perfect! The decor is cute with old photographs on the walls but with a hip modern twist. You can't go wrong with grabbing a bite here, it's new and large but still feels like the same mossmans family restaurant. For being recently opened I think they're brining their top game. read more

3.5 stars rounded down. This place is not a new restaurant but a new location for mossmans in town in the old broken yoke cafe building across from Stockdale high. They just opened and normally it's my rule to Wait for a month or 2 before visiting a new restaurant because it takes them that long to work out the kinks. But I had a lunch meeting and they wanted to go here so we went. The interior is just a lightly redecorated version of the old restaurant. Staff was friendly but our waitress was not very attentive. She Took a long time in between visits to our table and We kept having to ask for things like silverware, refills, etc but we weren't in any hurry so it was fine. The menu seemed kinda small to me for this style of restaurant. I thought they would have more breakfast options like blueberry pancakes, crepes, etc like other breakfast places in town but they didn't. I did really like how for the omelets you could have 1 pancake as a side instead of toast. I loved the concept! Perfect for those salty and sweet combination people like me. I had the Californian omelet and it was pretty greasy, I think they just took all the pieces of bacon that fell off while cooking the bacon strips and then just shoveled that inside the omelet... it was oozing grease. The pancake I was excited about was cold and not round and full but flat/lopsided. I think I was right about waiting, I'll try this place again in a month or two and see if more training/time helps them out with the service and food quality. read more

We were excited to try Mossman's once it opened so close to us. We ordered take out on a Friday night. My husband really enjoyed the fish and chips. He gave it a 9 out of 10. My son had a kids hamburger meal and we were pleasantly surprised at the size of the meal. It was a generous size burger and fries. I ordered the French dip sandwich with salad. The only reason I took off one star is because they forgot the au jus with my sandwich, otherwise it had good flavor. Next time I would have said to put dressing on the side for the salad if I were to do take out again. It was nice to have a side salad with plenty of added veggies and meats included though. We look forward to visiting again. read more

Every time I have gone the service and food has been good. They have amazing pancakes and great onion rings!

Fish and chips, fish and chicken and chips, cole slaw, and rolls the size of a baby's head. The new Mossman's location at Buena Vista is extremely consistent with the bowling alley locations. Great fish and chips, decent everything else. The portion sizes are generous. Service was friendly. I'm glad they've opened up this new location and given me a reason to go back and try again. read more

They have breakfast, lunch, and dinner on the menu. Checking in when you first get there so you can have your name written down for a table is also where customers pay their bill when they're ready to leave. It was a bit chaotic when we first arrived. Plus, there's a booth where customers can sit and wait for their name to be called in front of the cashier. Where the cashier is is already a small area so I didn't like that. Something really needs to be done about that area. The benches are still there in the front, so you can wait outside for your name. I did like the booths and tables, they are very spacious. Our waitress was very kind and I thought she did a great job. The tri tip sliders were so good. The rest of my food was pretty good. I wished my omelet had more cheese. There was no cheese inside, and it looked as if cheese was only sprinkled on top. If I do return, it'll be for those sliders! read more

I've been in three times since opening, and it's just so-so. The service is good, but the food is cafeteria like. Reminiscent of dinner time at a retirement community. The staff is so kind but it just can't make up for the poor food. When we were about to leave I hear loud music "bumping" from the back kitchen. How strange and weird, when Christmas music is coming from the speakers inside the dining area. Then I go back towards the kitchen towards the restroom and yep, it's coming from the kitchen. So sad, because I really wanted to love this place, especially since the downtown location was always so amazing, but this location is missing the mark. read more

We had a wonderful lunch today at Mossmans. We were seated almost immediately. They were feeding lots of people when we arrived yet the service was excellent. We ordered the famous fish and chips lunch. It came with two of the most wonderful big fat rolls with coleslaw and French fries. The entire lunch was delicious and we took home a tasty looking cinnamon roll too. We will return to Mossmans very soon. read more

I really wanted to love Mossman's, I thought I did. Been to the Westchester location two or three times and attended a couple large events they catered. Delicious! But not today. Maybe it was the fact that it was 3pm on a Sunday or maybe they're not that good anymore but I was sadly disappointed. When we sat down my son tried to talk me into leaving. I should have listened. It took 15 minutes to be acknowledged by wait staff. The food was not special and bland. We both had chicken fried steak breakfast. I should have stuck with the fish and chips maybe. ??? We won't be back, at least not to this location. Sorry. read more

Enjoyed a delicious breakfast sitting in Mossman's outside large patio. Our waitress, Gayla, was so sweet and kind and gave us excellent service refilling our waters frequently, taking our orders efficiently, and bringing our food out promptly. She recommended the special of the day which was a farmer's skillet. The eggs were nice and fluffy which covered the crispy bacon pieces, sausages, and ham smothered in gravy for that comfort country food taste. Every bite blended together marvelously which I savored to the end. To top it off, it was only $10. What a deal! I'll definitely be coming back for more. read more

We visited the new Mossman's location yesterday and were seated right away at 4:30pm. Greeted by our waitress immediately who was friendly and quick with our drink order. Our food order was taken within 10 minutes and I'd say we only waited another 10-12 minutes for food for a table of 5. We got the fish and chicken strip dinner with budget salad. I didn't think there was anything "budget" about this salad. A nice portion with chopped turkey, ham, and a hard boiled egg was such a nice touch. Fish was crispy and flaky and their chicken strips are always good! We also got an order of the Chilaquiles which were good with a nice spice to the red sauce. My mom ordered the French Dip and was equally impressed. The other two in our party loved their dinners as well. Our table also tried the chicken and waffles and onion rings which were both so good! The chicken and waffles are served with a bacon syrup and the onion rings are cut thick but are sweet and crispy and served with ranch. The housemade yeast rolls are light and fluffy. Food was a 10/10. Now let's talk about service! Amazing. We were greeted and taken care of by multiple staff members who cleared dishes as we finished items, made sure our drinks were always refilled, checked in to see how everything was or if we needed anything more, etc. Everyone was friendly. The restaurant filled in pretty nicely during our visit and even then, our table was constantly checked on regularly. We're looking forward to another visit and love the new location. read more

My father in law wanted to come here after church. Me looking at the menu... fish and chips. You can't help but think Mossmans and fish and chips. So....I had fish and chips for breakfast. It was still amazing. Crispy fish. Crisy fries. Loved every bite. Now, after seeing everyone food, I would recommend the chicken and waffles. That looked pretty good. So I guess I must come back again and try those. read more

The fish and chips was great, wish they had the option to upgrade the cod to halibut or a firmer fish, but the cod was still great with that tartar sauce.
