The Jazzy Flamingo

Caterer

👍👍 So I heard about the jazzy flamingo on Google maps and I am a single guy who doesn’t particularly like to cook for himself. So let me just say I was thrilled to find a place like this that cooks delicious gourmet food and is right around the corner from me. So today I ordered the lemon butter pepper...

Jack's Family Kitchen

Historical landmark

👍 Came here to place a to go order. Place smelled amazing walking in and the music definitely was a whole vibe.

Crystals Soul Cafe'

Vegan restaurant

👍👍 First, I’m not vegan, and rarely enjoy vegan food, unless it’s a burger. I’m a glutton for a grass fed steak and put cheese on everything. With that out of the way, this place absolutely blew me away! It’s super unassuming from the outside, but walking inside is like entering another dimension. The...

Nov's Soul Spot

Soul food restaurant

👍👍 Cat and shrimp combo was excellent. Portions generous. Dine in available. The kitchen is a stage for the cook who sings along to the lovely playlist streaming into the restaurant. The staff is warm and welcoming. Independently, locally, Black owned Bakersfield original.

R Kitchen

Soul food restaurant

😠 Welp, I was really excited to try this place, but sadly it did not live up to expectations. I ordered a fried chicken plate with greens, mac and cheese and potato salad. None of the food had much flavor. You’d think it wasn’t a black owned spot tbh. In the pic, you can tell the mac is short on peppe...
