BLACK BEAR DINER BAKERSFIELD REVIEWS

I visited them from Mexico and it was an Incredible experience! I really like this restaurant chain but this location has been the best so far! The staff was very friendly and attentive even though the place was full, the food was very delicious. I will definitely return.

Food was excellent and ASHLEY was our server. She was professional, polite, and engaging. My daughter and I had an amazing time! We will definitely be back. Thank you, Ashley.

BJ'S RESTAURANT & BREWHOUSE BAKERSFIELD REVIEWS

Absolutely wonderful experience! After being treated unfairly at another restaurant nearby, we came here feeling frustrated and tired especially with a sleeping baby in our arms. From the moment we walked in, the staff was kind, welcoming, and attentive. Even offered us open seating at the bar where there was booths available. They seated us quickly and treated our family with respect and care, even welcomed my baby with fruit and gold fish while we patiently looked through the menu. The food was great, the service was fast, and the atmosphere was warm. Thank you for turning our night around we truly appreciated the hospitality.

We decided to go and celebrate two birthdays on Easter Sunday at BJ’s. I thought it would be crowded but by the time we got there around 3pm, the early crowd had already left and the dinner crowd had not yet come, so it was a perfect time to dine as the wait was very short. Every single plate the seven of us ordered was delicious, came out timely, and our server was delightful. Very happy we went to BJ’s.

Jake was our server who quickly took our order remained very attentive. Food was fresh and hot. Steve had burger with brisket and fries and I had the rib eye.

EUREKA REVIEWS

We came in here pretty late, however, the staff was wonderful. The food came out very quickly, and it was at a great temperature. Everything was amazing. We ordered a bunch of appetizers and a couple of drinks and the best part was is the waitress said if anything was not to our liking she would be more than happy to figure out what would be. She asked us if we needed recommendations we kind of chitchatted we got some information and it was just a wonderful experience. The do also have happy hour specials.

Nice looking casual restaurant....great to bring a date, outside office meeting or just chill at the bar. Around 20 beers on tap, great selection high end wines( Cakebread ) and a full bar. Food is fresh, excellent taste for your pallet ...fast friendly service and competitive prices ( you get bang for your buck...highly recommend.

Our first time eating here and it was a good experience. We just order fish and Chips and some simple salad. Everything was delicious and service was great. We download an app and got a 10 dollars discount which is awesome. Sure we will come again.
