    Chicken sandwich

    A good old fashioned drive thru! They don't make them like this anymore! I ordered a chocolate banana shake, a crispy chicken sandwich, a Dr. pepper, fries and onion rings. Everything was delicious, and the portions were phenomenal. I only spent around$25 which is a steal compared to other fast food locations. The staff were very friendly and answered any questions I had about the menu! Really love that they have kept the old drive-in style of the place, it definitely made me feel nostalgic. I especially loved the chocolate banana shake! It was easily one of the best milkshakes I've ever had!

    Chili cheese fries - not good
    John P.

    Finally stopped. The king burger - really good. Looked like a house formed patty with some flavor from the flat top and fresh fixings. Tasted like a hamburger is supposed to taste. Definitely repeat. Chili cheese fries. I usually skip the fries but I'm a sucker for good chili cheese fries. The fries alone were fair. Neither the chili nor the 'cheese sauce' on top were tasty. I would skip the fries in the future and not order any chili topped item. Fountain drink was perfect, both taste and temperature. Order took between 5 minutes or so to prepare, a correct amount of time. I think the fries had been under the heat lamp, neither temperature nor texture indicated the fries were fresh out of the fryer. Will return for the burger and to try something else.

    The burgers here taste really good. I like the season they put on the buns, it really brings out the taste.

    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 honestly was just looking for some take-out but I had such a good time at the botanist!…read more I love a good moody interior so I sat at the bar and the lovely bartenders were so sweet! 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!

    This place is amazing. Great service, good vibes, and beautiful art. My friend and I went to eat in…read morethe gallery. Very respectable service and attentive as well. I recommend this place. The food was amazing as well, I got the tri tip melt and my friend got the sweet potatoes and Brussel sprout bowl. Very delicious!!

    A Delicious Thank You to Teachers!…read more What an incredibly thoughtful way to give back to the community! One of our teachers at school entered a drawing for a free catered lunch from Locale Farm to Table, and we were so lucky to win! The drawing was the owner Heather's way of giving back and showing her appreciation for teachers. She was especially touched by our teacher's story, which made the win feel even more meaningful. Many of us who work at the school already dine at Locale and absolutely love the food, so we knew we were in for a treat. Heather brought some of their most popular dishes, including a hot honey goat cheese spread with Pyrenees bread, roasted butternut squash and Brussels sprouts, a fresh garden salad, and a chocolate and strawberry pastry for dessert. Everything was absolutely delicious! What really stood out, though, was how much thought Heather put into making sure everyone could enjoy the meal. She heard that we had some vegetarians among us and went above and beyond by preparing additional dishes without bacon so everyone had plenty to eat. That extra touch meant so much and really showed how genuinely caring and thoughtful she is. Having this incredible meal right before the first day of school was such a special treat. Teachers and school staff work incredibly hard, and feeling appreciated in such a generous way was truly wonderful. Thank you, Heather, for your generosity, kindness, and for supporting our school community! We are so grateful, and, of course, already looking forward to our next visit to Locale!
