I have been going to Rice Bowl for 22 years or so, and the service is always great.The waitress's are always so nice, they usually put your food in take out boxes for you, so sweet! There usually isn't a wait... The food is always delicious! :) I love the Orange Chicken, and the Teriyaki Chicken wit...
My wife and I ate there for the first time a couple of days ago. We are both vegetarian and called in to ask what they had for us to eat. The man that answered was helpful and we decided to go. We were the only ones in the restaurant at about 4pm. We ordered 2 #10's--enchilada and chile relleno ...
My mother and I ate here. Our pastrami sandwiches where grey, boiled meat. The bun was all torn up. We spoke with management to find out how it was prepared. We were told they "boiled the meat for 17 years" -- I think they meant they have used that cooking method for 17 years. We will not retur...
This experience was far below poor. Pastrami is boiled, not grilled. The color is grey, tan, and the meat has a rubber consistency. The bread is not a typical roll but was old, flacky and did not hold together. Management did not care to make dissatisfied customer's visit better. I would not re...
Some of the best mexican food in Bakersfield and there plenty mexican restaurants to choose from. I always get the steak fajitas and a cool margarita....or two.
4-26-10 at 12:10 p.m. I met my four (4) day a week lunch friend (daughter) at John's Burgers and we both had pastrami sandwich combos. The sandwich bread was stale and too flakey a quality for this type of sandwich. The meat was disgusting -- gray and some was pink, other was light brown. It was ...
So much good food. Great portions, the service was so friendly and the Margaritas where wonderful! Can't to go back for happy hour.
The best (family affordable) Italian food in all of Bakersfield. I love the parmaesan chicken and authentic pizza or CALZONE. Very busy on the weekends and worth the wait. Great place for romantic date too !
looks and feels like a biker hangout. i love the old bar back and vibe of 19th century bako, but that was destroyed by the patronage. The mananger should have a sitdown with the owner and decide who's welcome and who's not.
not good. i expected a lot more than i recieved; from the outside it looked pretty good, but that was deceiving. The owner was a jerk, not professional.
Our family enjoys Bit of Germany on a regular basis,the food is always consistant and just what our taste buds are expecting.We had the pleasure of meeting Denise's son who waited on us that night,it was nice to see three generations working together. Keep it up
The food is usually pretty good, with a decent price but the service is absolutely horrible. If they do come over to wait on you, without being asked, they act like they are doing a big favor for you. They have zero personality.
i had a great experience, their employees are fun yet professional!
I can't believe someone would say this restaurant has the worst red sauce. That is FAR from the truth. It is one of the best i have ever had and I have had a lot of food all over the world. I can eat their red sauce all. by. itself! YUM! Love the food here and they have the best calzone in town...
The most incredible Italian dining experience in town. A romantic ambiance where the staff was very attentive and helpful. A family owned and operated restaurant well worth any price. I was most impressed by the fact that the owner Nancy and her daughter Lillian socialize with the patrons as if t...
Today my friends and I had lunch at Great Castle and our experience was horrific! We all had a lunch combination. The rice was mushy, over cooked and greasy. The water tasted like rusted pipes and the sweet and sour shrimp was soupy. I was served hot and sour soup without a choice and when I asked...
I travel a lot and I love Chinese food like crazy. I always try to find good Chinese restaurants anywhere I go and being a Bakersfield resident my obvious comparison falls between Great Castle and the new places. Hands down food wise Great Castle is second to none. I love this place. Wish they serve...
