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!

5 Stars. This spot was unknown to me but what a find!…read moreWe had a large party, so we were able to have a large sampling of the diverse menu. Shrimp, Mexican and Italian dishes were great, but the Fish & Chips is some of the best I have ever had......far better than traveling to the Central Coast for Fish & Chips. It appears the interior has been completely remodeled, very nice! It was a very nice dining experience and we will be back! "08"

This place gets a 10/10 even though the coconut horchata was not all that. The fish was cooked perfectly, the veggies weren't soggy and the rice was amazing. I picked my fish based on what my seated neighbor received, it just looked so delicious and it was! Everything about this place is fabulous. All the dishes that came out looked like high quality dishes.

The tri-tip sandwich was delicious filled with thick juicy slices with minimal fat on the meat which I greatly appreciated. Next were their dry rub baked wings, the flavor has a bit of kick like a buffalo wing minus the mess, but all the flavor! Hands down one of favorite despite not being a wing person myself. The salads were refreshing we did one southwest and one Cesar both of which can easily be spilt in half and be more than filling!

It's a little fast food joint on the side of the road that is plain and simple. When we stepped inside, they were quick to attend to us. Seating options are very limited, so you might be better off taking it to-go. Luckily, there was a table available for us and we sat inside. My burger tasted fresh and was perfectly cooked! Now the best part, the zucchini fries! I loved their zucchini fries. They're some of the best I've had. Really enjoyed my experience here! Perfect spot to quickly grab a bite and head off to do shopping in the area.

No one can make zucchini or mushrooms the way Jolly Kone on Bell Terrace and Wible Rd. did…read more With that being out the way this was my first time here. Customer service was really great. Prices are a little outrageous, I ordered mushrooms, zucchini and a avocado double bacon cheeseburger with fries and a drink, it came out to $42 rounding up. The establishment is really clean. Wouldn't recommend mushrooms but the zucchini is okay. Gave this place a 4 because the service is really great and the burger did smack. Also I love me a good frie and their fries are really good!

Love that they moved over on Panama ln, as they are much closer to stop by for lunch or grab a burger after work. Must try them if you haven't. Would love to see them open up a restaurant where they can serve more people and have indoor seating when it gets hot outside. Otherwise, hamburgers to go! Recommend ordering ahead as they do get busy! Love this place!

If you're looking to get a smash burger in Bakersfield, That Smash Shack is the place to go. I…read moreasked them a little bit about their different burgers, but decided to go simple with my order. I've had others smash burgers, but this burger had a nice crispiness to it and wasn't overly greasy! I hate overly greasy smash burgers. The fries also had a nice crunch to it. I love the design of their food truck! It's very fun and the bright colors make it one you can't miss. Make sure to drop by this awesome food truck!

My f*cking favorite burger spot…read more The monster burger is my order every time. I rave about this place to everyone I know, and encourage my people to stop here if they're taking a road trip to Vegas or LA from the bay. I finally tried the milkshakes this time around. The banana was ok, the pineapple was better. I like that it's not hella artificial. I love that they use real fruit bits. I'm not a huge fan of crinkle cut fries usually, but I like theirs. Why? Because they actually fry the fries to a crisp and then they're well seasoned. Yum. Every time I've come through, the girls working have always been really nice. Customer service is on point. I usually hit the drive thru and then park to eat. It's definitely a good place to people watch.. but I keep my doors locked lol. There's always a lot of movement on the street...

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!
