    It's nice to have a local burger joint in this area. The menu has all the classic burgers you'd expect, similar to your favorite fast food spots but with a more local, with a 1950's nostalgic vibe. I always get the lemonade!! It's super sweet and refreshing. It's our go-to spot for a quick dinner when we're too tired to cook. Head's up, it's located near a high school, so it can get pretty busy right after school lets out. Overall, a solid, convenient spot for a quick bite.

    Love this place. Good American food. I like the BLT but my kids love the cheeseburgers. Can't go wrong with an Oreo shake to finish it off. Amazing every time. Call in your order ahead and save some time to pick it up. 50s diner inside. Small seating area but usually not busy if you want to sit.

    Banana Split with everything on it

    Had a delicious banana split. Recommend trying this place out. The decorations are cool, and the sitting is nice.

    I was craving a pastrami today and the Malt Shop did not disappoint. I called in my order and it was ready right when I got there. It was sooo good! Only downside is that my banana peppers weren't in the bag when I got home :/ The bread was nice and toasty and there was a good amount of pastrami in it! Fries were amazing as always. Yumm!

    Hola from the 661!…read more Stopped by Honey I'm Home around 3 PM for breakfast--wow. The food was seriously delicious! Our waitress recommended the chicken fried steak, and it was easily one of the best I've ever had. I even downsized the portion, and it was still huge! My buddy ordered the eggs with biscuits and gravy and couldn't stop talking about how it was one of the best he's had in California. The waitresses were super friendly and helpful, which made the whole experience even better. You won't be disappointed!

She even gave us several samples of ice cream, which were delicious. Amaya was very nice and took the time to stop and have conversations with us. Genuinely a nice person! Service was 5 stars. The food was good. The tri tip and chicken fried steak were full of flavor and seasoned well. The only negative we would say about the food is the tri tip was a little on the dry side, and the chicken fried steak was mostly batter. Both still tasted good, though. Just wished the tri tip was juicier and chicken fried steak was proportioned better with meat vs batter. Sides were really good (descriptions in the pics). Food was 4 stars. Atmosphere is very old school feel. They even had the Price Is Right from probably the 70's or 80's playing on the tv. Brought back funny memories. Overall, recommend. Very good local restaurant.

    I met a friend here for dinner and drinks. I've never been before and I found out It's under new…read moremanagement. I was surprised when I walked in because I thought the place was much bigger. It is a long and narrow establishment with a trendy vibe. Decorated with wine barrels and bottles which give it an industrial feel. We were greeted by a server immediately upon entering but he wasn't very friendly. I placed an order for a Tito's press for my first round and the hubs ordered a Tito's and tonic. For our next round I ordered a Tito's and tonic and was given another vodka press. After scanning the QR code and checking out the menu, we decided on the shrimp ceviche as an appetizer with the shrimp tacos and a chicken taco salad. The menu is soooo small! I came in with an appetite and there wasn't much to choose from. The hubs said the ceviche was too salty but the shrimp tacos were good. I thought the taco salad was delicious and I finished it all. My friend ordered the garlic shrimp and also said they were salty and at $24.99 for just 6 shrimp, she would not order them again. The weirdest part was there was a big labradoodle inside the restaurant! I thought it crazy at first since there is a patio that is just fine for dogs. Look, I'm a dog lover, but inside of a restaurant is crazy to me! What if people are allergic? What if the dog jumps on the table? This dog was roaming all over the place...it was under our table looking for scraps and I even seen it sniffing a patrons legs at one of the high top tables. Anyway, this place is decorated super cute, the food was okay and the dog seems to be one of the owners so it seems it's going to be there indefinitely. I don't think I'll be going back but you should give it a try.

    I'm always looking for a good whiskey bar and Cask Strength fit the bill…read more All of the folks behind the bar were friendly and fun to have conversations with. My bartender, Alec, made a great Old Fashioned. I only came in for a couple drinks before a show downtown, but I was recommended their Chili Relleno. And thank goodness I was. It was delicious. They were kind enough to turn on the Dodger game when I asked and I ended up spending well over an hour watching my team secure a win before heading out. The location is awesome and pretty much anything you'd like to do downtown is walkable distance to and from the bar. The bar has changed ownership recently. But with drinks this good, yummy food, and stellar service, Cask Strength Bar and Kitchen has a bright future in Bakersfield!

They are notorious for having the newest trendy sweet treats. Their Instagram is very active and frequently posting new reasons to keep coming back. On this visit, I wanted to try their new hot chocolate with a toasted marshmallow rim, and it did not disappoint. It was a very rich and semi-sweet hot chocolate with a hint of cinnamon, just like my momma makes it. My sister had the Dubai-style hot chocolate, which had a pistachio topping; she had no complaints. We also decided to try the Dubai style chocolate covered strawberries; the strawberries were a bit tart, but the toppings were all delicious. Just a heads up, they are an outdoor-only seating establishment, so come prepared. They do, however, have good lighting and patio heaters to help. It tends to stay pretty busy, especially on weekend nights, so wait times can be a little long, but they are worth the wait.
