Just ok. Wanted to live it but the waitress wanted to be anywhere but there. The food was marginal and overpriced. Margaritas were on point, but way overpriced. Tons of local places that are better than this that we would recommend first.

I wont be dining here or any other Thunderdome restaurant again moving forward, but the service tonight was great and so was the food. Used to be a favorite spot of mine (I even had another reservation for next week),but I’m not going to support this restaurant group after discovering how they treat their current and former employees. Sad and disappointing.

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.

Spicy pineapple margarita is a must if you like spicy cocktails, otherwise the regular pineapple margarita is also fantastic. The food is amazing as well, we always get tacos. However, no matter what day we come in, service is super slow.

We had several reservations for our group, all under the same name. We checked in, and then they canceled some of our reservations because we didn't check in for all of them. They had a large table they refused to give us even tho they had no one else to seat at it. Just felt like they didn't want to serve 30 people at 9:00 bcus they wanted to close up and go home.
Bakersfield - Mass AveResponded on July 8, 2022Paul, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. When making six,6 top reservations at different times for a party 30, we can not guarantee that all of you party will be sat at the same time. In the future if you would like to make a reservation for a large group please feel free to reach out to the store directly to see if we can accommodate a large party. I will be happy to provide you with more information if you reach out to me directly at Collin.Martin@Tdome.co m.

I love this place. I really do. But in the past couple of years, since COVID started, I have really noticed a decline in quality. The food just doesn’t wow me anymore, specially since they removed the Bistec taco from the menu. I really do want to leave a good review to see this place thrive, but management needs to know.

Although had a reservation for awhile, was placed in the back corner of the basement. Did not appreciate that. It was clean, quieter, and good service down there, but loses the ambiance. Do not think those with a reservation should get the worst seat in the place. Food was fine, good value. Love their chips and appetizers

Such a great spot on Mass Ave! Food is delicious and service was very friendly. A little tricky to find parking but that’s not unusual in this area. Highly recommend!

We have always loved the food at Bakersfield. This time was disappointing. The tacos are very small for $4 and they came out cold. The guacamole was very good and the service was also good. The noise level was so loud that it was not even enjoyable to try to talk. We had our 21 year old daughter with us and she even thought it was too loud. After this experience we will probably not keep this spot on our list of great places to go.
Bakersfield - Mass AveResponded on April 8, 2022Hi Nicole, I am sorry that you experience did not meet your expectation. We would love the opportunity to make it up to you. If you would be willing to do so please reach out to me personally and I can get you a reservation and ensure you have a better experience next time. Please email me at Collin.Martin@tdome.co m. Hope to hear from you soon

I love Bakersfield! We ordered a pitcher of pineapple margaritas, chips/guac/queso, and tacos. Everything was delicious and the service was amazing; Michael and Payton took great care of us! We sat on the patio and would love to do so again in the future.
