Love Bakersfield, and was taking my friend for her first time, and to catch up before she went back to Ball State for college. She loved it as well, but we could very much tell our server wanted us to be quick in our dining there. He came back to the table not even 2 minutes after we were seated asking for our food order, after I had already told him it was my friends first time. He left and came back about a minute later. Same answer, she was checking the menu while we also caught up briefly. Our appetizer was delivered and he showed up asking how it was right as the man who delivered it was walking away. I told him it looked good but we hadn’t gotten a chance to taste it before he popped up. He promptly asked if we were ready to order, again. We put in our order. He did let us enjoy our food, and brought our bills 2 minutes later telling us no rush. Then came back as we finished our last bites asking if our payment was ready yet, and what looked like a manger walked by and cleared our table. What felt odd about it was we weren’t there for more than an hour, and had a reservation at 5:30pm on a Thursday. There wasn’t anyone ever waiting at the door (we were right next to it, so could see). We just wanted to enjoy our time together and the food and atmosphere.
