I went to this place on a whim, I had no idea they opened at 11:00am on Saturday. I was visiting family and just happened to find this place on Google maps. I did not take any pics as I was absolutely starving when I got here. I had the double cheeseburger with fries and a Pepsi. The fries were delicious and filled almost half the bag, I kind of had to dig my burger out. But it was just what I was craving, a bit greasy, but absolutely delicious, and my combo was only $9.99+ tax. I would definitely come back the next time I'm here in Bakersfield. read more

This little burger shop is great for that quick stop, fast food like flavor but more for your buck. I rather go here than any other burger or sandwich. Their service is great food is made when ordered. When your craving that good burger it hits the spot. read more

Paid $70 for 3 combos, and 3 ice creams. All to come home and not be satisfied with the quality. Even on my daughter's birthday, she requested a pops Reese's ice cream. This is where we drew the line. All 3 ice creams tasted like spoiled milk. We had never had this experience with them before. We even thought calling to notify them, that they'd replace our ice creams. NOPE. They tried to defend themselves for changing out the ice cream. Whoever so called did, most likely was being lazy and skipped a step. Never again. RUDE customer service. read more

When you think of a hole in the wall burger joint, this is exactly what you expect to see. The people that work here are always very friendly. The burgers and all the food is good and made to order. The ice cream sundaes, banana splits, and shakes are all delicious. And on top of all that, they have crushed ice for their sodas! The prices for everything on their menu is way more affordable compared to most of the other big chains and the quality and flavor is better than those other places. This is definitely a well kept secret in an area that's so far from the main part of the city. read more

Been going here for years and really liked their burgers. This time I tried their chili cheese pastrami fries and they were just ok. They needed more pastrami and cheese sauce, to balance out the richness of the chili. I will still go here for the burgers. read more

The food was delicious! I had been going there for years. I had stopped going once they changed their name and stopped serving their delicious tacos. I decided to give them a try again and the burger and fries were good. My only complain was that I had ordered the burgers with cheese and they didn't come with it (we realized once we were done eating lol) but the food was so good, it didn't matter. The cashier girl was friendly and wasn't rude when I kept changing my mind which was a plus since I was indecisive. The place was updated from the lady time I had gone which was over 6 years ago. I just really wish they bring back the tacos!!! read more

Pastrami fries are great but the burgers were incredibly mediocre. The burger tasted like the bun and the meat itself provided genuinely only texture. Would not come again for the burgers especially with innout nearby. read more

Excellent food and service! A few days ago my cousin passed away unexpectedly, Z(owner) invited my aunt and family to eat at Pop's, the food is amazing, even after the dining room was closed, guests still were trying to come in, people ordered at the window and drive-thru. The employees were courteous and kind. Please come support this family owned restaurant. Huge THANK YOU Veronica & Family read more

Pops Burger - Curly fries, cheese sticks, shrimp, avocado cheeseburger, and salad.... lots of ranch - Burgers Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Overall, the food is pretty good. We ordered through the drive thru. It was fast and our order was taken efficiently. The outside area was clean, well kept. The fries were super good, the Pops swirls were a nice treat (I got snickers and my folks got butterfinger). He also thinks they carry the best pink lemonade he's ever tasted. I ordered the blt and added avocado. The reason I took a star away from the review was because the bacon in my sandwich was way too hard. It made it almost unenjoyable but the creaminess of the avocado and the bread not being hard made it manageable. read more

Great spot for good food on the way home from so cal. I highly recommend stopping here to get your burger fix. Pastrami chili fries are delish! read more

On 5/9/26 I placed an order to go 1shrimp basket, 2 chili dogs, Philly cheese steak and a Texas burger combo. I received my order. Upon arriving home I began passing out the food. I discovered that the Texas burger was not in the bag. I gave everyone their order with the exception of my wife. I told her that I would go back and get hers. As I was driving back I called and informed them that my order was short. When I informed the boy who answered the phone that my order was short he had a rude attitude and stated that he put the item in the bag and to check again. I told him that it was not there and I was on my way back to get it. This child then told me that I would have to bring the entire order back so he could see it wasn't in the bag. At this point I lost my temper at the stupidity of this child and we began to argue. So please check your bags to insure that child that supposedly works there gives you your complete order. As for me I won't be going there again. read more

Was in the drive in burger mood! This spot looked the part, so off we drive to Pops on Taft hwy. Not gonna lie, wasn't too impressed on first sight. It was in a pretty ruff looking area. Walked in and dining area was empty so that's usually a bad sign. Looked at the menu and was impressed with all the options. I was sold on the pastrami combo and I upgraded to zucchini sticks and added an ordered of taquitos. My wife got the burger combo and my son the usual chicken strips. We had a little snafu as they forgot wifeys fries. She went to let them know and at first they acted like they didn't believe her- which would've been pretty bad review wise! But luckily someone else over heard and brought my wife her fries. Thank god! First bite on my pastrami was a game changer! So good! Lots of pickles and stuffed with thin sliced pastrami! The zucchini sticks were perfect- crispy and flavorful batter! The taquitos were bomb!! Crispy and a really good avocado salsa. Wife's burger was flavorful and her fries were well seasoned and crispy! This place is in my must visit category! Big tasty portions and very reasonable prices! read more

The burgers, amazing. Fries didn't taste fresh. Either they refried them or it might be time to replace that oil. The staff were somewhat professional. But now a days, everywhere you go, employees have crappy attitudes. Cleanliness inside and out needs a lot of work. Staff should make the effort to cleanup more and spend less time on their phones. But none of this will not stop me from going back. read more

Been a customer since we moved in our home 10 years ago! I cant believe this is my first post! Today I suggested their grilled chicken salad for lunch and always a hit. Loaded with veggies (grape tomatoes, bell peppers, and romaine lettuce) and grilled chicken! Recommend to add a boiled egg and avocado and ranch dressing! This salad is the BEST salad from a fast food place. Also, their burgers also are always a hit! On days I don't want to cook I order the family special of 4 Burgers, 4 Fries and 4 Drinks for about $30. Pro tip: call ahead and pick up your order! Food is always fresh and done quickly! Thank you! read more

Pops Burger - Grilled Chicken Salad - Burgers Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Pops always hits the spot, love the French fries and ice cream, burgers are amazing also.

I enjoy ordering their ice creams! The food I order is always hot. Can't go wrong with hamburgers

My wife, my son and I go here regularly when we want to get a good burger and fries combo at a reasonable price. So today our daughter and her family were in town and they always enjoyed pops burgers. But today my wife and I were tired and didn't want to cook so we went there and ordered 5 double cheeseburger combos, our burgers and drinks were fine but the fries were terrible, they tasted overcooked or recooked and were not edible. The young lady at the window was nice and professional but we were very disappointed with our food for paying $46 dollars and not be totally satisfied. I tried to call several times but nobody answered.normally I would give 5 stars but today they're getting 3 for our experience and the fact nobody answered the phone to rectify our problem. read more

Honestly the best burger I have had from a drive thru. The fries are always hot and seasoned well. The soft serve is always good. The service is great. It's always clean as well. I recommend Pops burger to anyone looking for yummy burger. read more

Really had higher expectations, given the line of cars we had seen while passing by a few days before, then again on this day, but I understand this is a recently opened location, so maybe the good reviews of other Pops locations account for the lines of eager visitors happy that Pops is now local. Steak fries sounded great, especially because they boast Harris Ranch beef. But the chips of burnt beef seemed more like remnants of a scraped grill than pieces of actual steak being grilled and laid over fries. Also, this was the first time I experienced steak fries with shredded iceberg lettuce and tomatoes. The vegetables only served to wet and cool the fries shortly after receiving the order. I would suggest no lettuce or tomatoes, but the fresh avocado was good. My husband was happy with his double cheeseburger, so I would try that next time, if we're in the area and craving burgers. Large parking lot and drive through option. read more

Stopped by Pops during hurricane Hillary to get a bite of some classic American food. I opted for the pastrami, with upgraded chili cheese fries, one of my favorite combos. Pops delivered with a crispy perfectly cooked pastrami sandwich and wonderful chili cheese fries. Highly recommend this place for those classic American cravings. Customer service is great and there is a drive tru and outdoor parking. The restaurant is currently undergoing construction for indoor seating. read more

I found a bug in my drink I wouldn't have known had I not opened the lid to drain my ice.

Best place in Bakersfield, delicious meat and bacon and they give you a lot of fries. Girls at the window are always super nice.

Great service and they make your food right on the spot to ensure it's always hot and fresh.

Best grilled chicken salad with everything, is a must try! I go across town to get this salad loaded with boiled eggs and cheddar cheese and bell peppers Julian sliced homemade ranch dressing , one serving enough for four people. Service is always excellent. The buildings always clean. It's a drive-through. Come try Pops read more

Delicious hamburgers and salads! Service is a little slow, but it worth the wait. I will definitely come back.

Pops always comes through with that bomb colossal burger for lunch. Made fresh to order with delicious pastrami and a bag full of delicious French fries. This is my go to spot for burgers they don't make it till you order it so it's always fresh, Way better than the chain restaurant options for sure. read more

Went in for a meal today but instead found my bank account stripped of $90.80 instead of the stated price on the receipt 9.80 for a simple cheese burger combo. When I went back to dispute and ask for a refund, I was treated with a hostile and disrespectful owner who ultimately cussed me out and stated he would not return my money. Don't recommend to anyone and if you do make sure to pay cash!!!!!! read more

Pops is just that one mom and "pop" shop which absolutely delivers every single time. The food is delicious no matter what you get. They have good service, though lines can get long sometimes. The ambience is okay, the inside is a bit dull but that doesn't really make a difference. Overall a great place to eat! read more

I always ask for "cooked light" fries and they always overcook them. Today they tasted like fish. Done.

I know exactly what to expect when I go here- a nice greasy, fatty burger with hot fries. They do a good job with their shakes and ice cream too. Nothing fancy or special about their location, but it's fast service and I've never had a bad experience. read more
