Bakersfield's Best Restaurants

As a Bakersfield girlie, there are some hidden gems in this town and I'm here to share my favorites!
Map
Delicious food, great vibes, delicious drinks!
Don Perico
If you know, you know — smoky tri-tip, pulled pork, and grilled chicken that never misses. This is what I’m craving when I want something real.
Salty's BBQ
A little quirky, a lot delicious. The kind of spot that serves peanut butter bacon burgers and somehow makes it work. Also: the milkshakes? Unreal.
Moo Creamery
A Bakersfield classic. Family-style Italian that’s been around forever — go for lunch and you’ll probably run into someone you know.
Luigi's | Italian Restaurant, Deli & Wine Shop
This place has my heart — it’s where my husband proposed, and it still feels like our spot. Casual but elevated, and the food always hits.
New Vintage Grill - Bakersfield
A Bakersfield staple for legit Italian — it’s giving garlic, wine, and romantic vibes without trying too hard.
Frugatti's
Massive menu, good drinks, and always a solid go-to when no one can decide where to eat. Bonus: the vibes are always lively.
Yard House
Old-school steakhouse energy in the best way. When you want a cozy booth, a glass of red, and meat cooked perfectly — this is it.
Hungry Hunter · Home
Classic breakfast and brunch spot that feels like a hug. It’s not trying to be trendy — it just is good.
Old River Grill at Riverlakes
Trendy but approachable. Great for girls’ night, date night, or just a cute place to post up with a drink and people-watch.
Social House Kitchen and Bar - Restaurant Reviews
You already know I’m here for the pizookie — but the drinks, apps, and booths with room to breathe make this a no-brainer.
