We had a nice outing for my birthday. Bryce was our server, and he catered to everything we needed and asked for. The food and drinks were delicious! What a great experience! We will be back.

Had eaten at the Bakersfield in Nashville before but never the Louisville location. Good experience. We enjoyed the food and the atmosphere was decent enough for holding a conversation with friends.

Great experience overall. Sometimes you expect the food and service to be good, which it was. But it’s harder to create and unique and cool atmosphere/vibe. That’s exactly what this restaurant did with the music selection. It was a bunch of old country/western, rock, and blues. Heard songs in there I haven’t heard anywhere else in public.

The margaritas are wonderful!! The food was very flavorful and decent price. Ambience was good, however a bit loud( music). Waitress was sweet and attentive. Don't understand why the place was pretty empty?? I've been to the restaurant in Indy and it was packed. Hopefully was just an off night.

Go or the price, the food was mediocre. Extremely expensive considering portion size. You have to pay for salsas which is odd. The cheese dip is $17 for a tiny crock! Guac was probably the best thing we had. I had a $10 stuffed poblano as my entree and it was a small portion with very little flavor. The two men I each had two tacos of different varieties and they said they were good. Our party of 3 had 3 beers and 2 margaritas. Our bill was $100. There were only 3 other tables with guests, but they had the music turned up so loud we had to practically yell to have a conversation at our own table. I saw how many great cities also have Bakersfield restaurants so I expected it to be special. It’s just overpriced Mexican.

Hi Stephanie! We are very sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy the Bakersfield experience! We appreciate the feedback and will take it into consideration moving forward. However, we would like to clarify that our queso is $8, not $17. If you are ever interested in giving us another shot - please feel free to reach out to the restaurant directly for a complimentary reservation.
