What Charlie's Dad likes about Bakersfield Wood Fired Grill:
Our server could 've been more attentive. At the outset, he told us he was rushed for time. When our entrees were finished, he cleared the plates and returned with the bill no invitation for coffee or after dinner desserts. This was the only disappointing element to report. Otherwise, we continue to enjoy this restaurant. View all feedback.

What Meee Siii doesn't like about Bakersfield Wood Fired Grill:
Recent poor experience was inconsistent with our experience of 10 days or so before. Salad line cooks were clearly off this time. Ordered same exact salad which looked tasted nothing like before and didn't have all ingredients listed on menu. So quickly ordered substitute which was supposed to be a hot appetizer and came out lukewarm. We will go back to midweek dining and hope for the best. My partners meal was fine. View all feedback.

I thought the entrees were very good and a nice selection. The side dishes could have been better with more selections and creativity.

Bakersfield in Westmont offers a mix of experiences that leave diners divided. While some rave about the excellent service and standout dishes like the knuckle sandwich, others find the menu underwhelming, highlighting a lack of creativity and overpriced items. The ambiance suffers from dim lighting, evoking a sense of mystery about cleanliness. Diners have enjoyed some entrees, such as prime rib, but lament the disappointing lobster ravioli and the new preparation of chicken. Overall, Bakersfield presents a place where the service shines, yet the food quality and pricing leave room for improvement.

The place reminds me of a dark cellar I went to lunch, and I had a burger it was excellent, but the place is nothing special maybe dinner is different.
