    Tidal Wave Pizza
    Bess B.

    You can't ever go wrong with Santa Barbara Pizza. Their toppings are always fresh and plentiful. The pizza crust? Like little breadsticks baked to perfection. Our go-to is always the Tidal Wave (combination) pizza. Craving a salad? Then the Antipasto is the way to go. An absolute fan favorite in my household. Their service has always been quick when ordering for takeout. If you order online, just make sure to answer your phone as soon as you place the order. They typically call new customers to confirm you are indeed placing the order, especially since you can't pay until you pick up your order. (The online ordering system doesn't have that capability to accept online payment just yet). Even though this restaurant is in the heart of Oildale, it's worth the drive. They'll have my loyalty when it comes to pizza any day of the week!

    I ordered a large pepperoni, extra pepperoni well-done, and it came exactly like I ordered it. It was perfect will definitely order again.

    My husband said it was thirty five dollars for a medium pizza. Big mistake. It was a medium pizza, just not worth $35.00.

    10/10 would come again for Gavin alone! He was so helpful, honestly best service in Bakersfield and…read morehe ensured everything tasted immaculate. It was almost as if Fine dining had a drive thru. Nothing but good vibes, good food and amazing service from this place! Def recommend I recommend the strawberry cream slush ;)

    It's really hit or miss at this Sonic. I only ever order one large drink, and it's the exact same…read moreorder every time. Some days it's brought out within a couple of minutes, and other days I'm left waiting forever. Today I placed a mobile order and checked in at 3:13 during my 30-minute lunch break. There was a car broken down in the drive-thru, which I completely understand can slow things down. But while I was waiting, I watched multiple cars that arrived after me get their orders and leave. Some of them had several drinks and food, while I was still waiting on one large drink. After about 20 minutes, I pressed the button and told the employee I'd been waiting. She responded that, as I could see, there was a broken-down car and they were trying to go as fast as they could. I understood that, but it didn't explain why everyone else was getting served while I continued to be overlooked. I watched more orders being brought out, so I pressed the button again and asked for a refund because I had already spent almost my entire lunch waiting. Only then did someone finally bring out my drink and tell me they were refunding it. The refund didn't fix the situation. I ended up late getting back to work, and I couldn't even enjoy the drink because I'm not allowed to have drinks in my work area. My entire lunch break was wasted waiting for one drink. Another frustrating thing about this location is that they don't sell bags of ice. The Sonic on the east side and the Rosedale location both do, so I don't understand why this one doesn't. It's inconvenient when the other locations offer it. I also have to admit that by the time I pressed the button the second time, I wasn't very friendly because I was so frustrated. After that interaction, it honestly made me question whether I even wanted to drink what I was handed. That's not a feeling any customer should leave with. Unfortunately, I can't recommend this location. It's frustrating because it's the closest Sonic to both my home and my job, but the service is too inconsistent to count on, especially if you're on a time limit.

    I stopped by here for lunch recently, at Los Tacos (Bakersfield, California), because this place…read moreseemed nice from the reviews on Yelp. When I arrived, I glanced through their menu and decided to get the "2 Hardshell Tacos" meal, with a side of rice and beans. I wanted to get one taco with chicken and one taco with beef, but I could not do that. The cashier told me that this was not allowed, and the two tacos had to have the same type of meat. Strange, I thought...I don't see why it makes any difference. Slightly disappointed, I decided on getting both tacos with beef. As I prepared to pay, I then realized that they charge a small fee for their customers who use a credit card. I was a little annoyed with this as well; so, I then decided to pay with cash. After getting a Dr. Pepper as my drink with my meal, I sat in one of their booths inside and waited for my order. The cleanliness inside was just ok. As I waited, I realized that this location does not have an internal restroom for their customers after one of their customers asked to use it. The cashier said that their restroom was outside, around the side of the building. After getting my meal, it appeared appetizing. The tacos were quite delicious, but the rice and beans were just ok. I also got some extra sauces to spice it up a bit. After departing, I noticed the restroom doors on the side of the building; They looked pretty ghetto. The outside landscaping was nicely maintained, but I was annoyed by the group of homeless people that were just camping on the grass outside this location under the trees. If I owned this business, I would ask the city to remove these individuals because they are not only an eyesore, their loitering presents a safety concern and an annoyance for their customers. It may even turn some customers away from this location as a result. Overall, the food here is pretty good, but in my opinion, this location needs to make a few improvements to deserve a higher than average rating.

    3/5 I really wanted to love this wet burrito. On paper, it…read moresounded like a comfort food home run -- ground beef, smothered in sauce, cheesy goodness. But the execution left me wanting more. The portion was generous, and it definitely looked the part when it arrived. But the first bite told a different story. The ground beef was barely seasoned, just kind of... there. The red sauce covering the burrito didn't have much kick or personality, and the cheese was melted but didn't bring enough richness to pull everything together. There was no real layering of flavor -- just meat, tortilla, and sauce, without any extra textures or contrast. No beans, no rice, no crunch, no fresh toppings to brighten it up. It wasn't bad -- just incredibly plain. Like a meal someone made in a rush without tasting it first. That said, the service was solid, and I know some folks prefer their burritos on the simpler side. But for me, this one needed some love -- maybe some spice, onions, cilantro, or even a squeeze of lime would've helped wake it up. I'll give it another shot, but next time I'm trying a different protein or asking for extra toppings. The drive thru was clean and the staff was friendly :)
