    This location disappoints! Go to the one on Ming. First, the boss refused to give out ice- even a cup. What's the difference if I paid for a soda and dumped it out for the ice? Like let me pay for it. The employees felt bad, but have to follow bosses orders. Then they got little pieces of what I believe to be Reese's in my orange creamsicle. Thank god because my boyfriend thought it was rat poop but it smelled like peanuts... Terrible mistake if someone was allergic to peanut butter.

    I ordered 3 simple items. 2 soft pretzel and an order of chili cheese tots. They forgot the tots. Then told me they were in the bottom of the bag, and ther weren't. Then when they gave them to me there was no chili! They can't get even 3 simple things right. Oh, and the phone number is disconnected so you can't call to get it fixed.

    Getting the coconut dragon fruit soda is a must I made the combination and it is sooo good it tastes like summer. Additionally the chili cheese fries are crazy good I love them. Not many places offer fried pickles either but they do and they are a must. Even my boyfriend eats them lol. I especially love this location because it is nice and staff is so kind.

    "Cherry Slush with nerds." Hardly any flavor or candy. 2/10

    Sonic is one of my favorites whenever Im in town visiting family especially since there are none near where I live. I always get a cherry slushy with nerds before I get on the freeway and head back to LA. November 2nd around 11 pm I ordered only two slushees. I took a sip of my slushy and Immediately tasted disappointment. It had hardly any cherry flavor or nerds. I asked my sister to check her drink and sadly It was exactly the same. It's like they only adding 1 pump of cherry flavor at the very bottom so we attempted to mix it but it didn't help much. Unfortunately since I was already on the road I was unable to turn around and have them remake it. From now on I'll be double checking the quality of my items before leaving.

    Came to get some drinks and Nick was so accommodating and kind! The drinks were so beautiful, delicious and Nick was super helpful. i drank some already but look how pretty my drink is :)

    On Friday, May 10th I placed a mobile order simply for mozzarella sticks, nothing else, this was placed at 8:10 PM. When I went to the stall number 4 to check in, the staff told me that it would be out shortly as they just dropped them. Considering that they might be busy I waited patiently, but at 8:24 PM I checked in again just to remind. Once it was 8:32 PM I just decided to leave since it was clear it wasn't coming anytime soon. I understand how busy it could possibly be but there occasionally no one in the drive thru and hardly anyone around me. On top of that, I tried to call to let them know that I wanted to cancel/refund the order but the number listed in both google and the app is no longer in service. I very much appreciate this location as I come every once in a while and don't usually have any problems but over 20 minutes for one item that was checked on twice ridiculous.

If you have a special selection, I believe they'll even make you an order. I've gotten probably every type of liquor in there and tried tons of new additions, which I love having in my selection at home. The workers are all very pleasant and greet you when you enter. They have music nights, tastings and a wood fire pizza oven, which I haven't been able to get to just yet. Love this place and will continue to give them business reasonably priced and aren't trying to make scam like some of these liquor stores around town. Definitely give this place a shot, especially because they're in the middle of town and the selection is the best. Have a great one and see you at the next spot.

They have a Cinnabon inside and a Carvel. They have tons of local food items on sale and if you're looking around they have a free popcorn station. You pop your own popcorn and it's self serve. Any time we have visited just for gas, we come out with other stuff, so be prepared to stock up on snacks. The inside is clean and the gas pumps area is also clean. If you're on this side of town and need to gas up or grab some snacks, you should check this place out.

The sweet almond pretzel with caramel sauce is my absolute favorite--sweet, crunchy, and totally addictive. The pretzel bites were amazing too; so flavorful, and you could actually taste the buttery goodness. To top it all off, I ordered a white gummi Jamba Juice made with mango, pineapple, and sorbet, and it was absolute perfection. The girl working the drive thru was so sweet and had a smile on her face. I definitely felt welcome. It's definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area and want a tasty snack!

At first a couple of the…read moregirls were not impressed with the small M-F breakfast menu, but once we ordered and ate our food, we were all fascinated...and full. I decided to give the Oh, My Toast a try which is their twist on avocado toast. This had avocado, feta, radish, PICKLED ONIONS, and an egg however you want it cooked on sourdough toast. It also had some type of seasoning on it that was absolutely amazing!!! My friends went with The Wrap and the Bagel Sandwich, both with fries. Everyone was satisfied and happy! We all topped our meals off with espresso martinis and stranger things cocktails. I love this place and will continue to tell people about it. Even our server was amazing!

    Harrington House is one of those Bakersfield spots that really deserves more love. I stopped in for…read morethe chicken sandwich and the paneer sandwich, and both were excellent in their own way. The chicken sandwich had a great crispy bite and was packed with flavor, while the paneer sandwich was fresh, satisfying, and just different enough to make it memorable. The veggies in both the sandwiches tasted crisp and fresh, and the bun was nicely toasted. The french fries were super crispy and very seasoned, exactly the ones you keep eating even when you're already full. What also stood out was the atmosphere and the people behind the place. Karen, the owner, is genuinely sweet and welcoming, and you can tell this business is built with care and pride. Supporting local spots like this matters, especially when good food and good service come together the way they do here. If you're thinking about going, today seems like a great time since they don't appear to be very busy. If you can't make it today, a weekday visit would probably be your best bet, since weekends seem to be the busiest. Either way, Harrington House is worth checking out if you want a solid meal from a local Bakersfield business.
