Pop’s Drive-In

The jalapeño cheddar peppers are to dieeeee for! I travel a lonh distance just to get them!!! Better than anyones ive ever had and ive had LoTsss! Heaven n ur mouth!!! Especially dipped in their amazing ranch!!! Im addicted!!!

I’m new in town, we found Pops and are very happy! Love the Pops burger and the fries are prefect! This is a family favorite and when we want a good burger this is the only place we go!

If you want a quick burger or some fried burritos, then this place is good.
I tried their fried zucchini and was disappointed. It was really thickly breaded and tasted like a mozzarella stick when I was looking more for Leo’s Burgers (place on Ming Ave.) style zucchini.
The deep pit sandwich is worth getting although I think it was served in a hotdog bun rather than afrench roll like a Pyrenees style roll.
I love that this place is a mom & pop shop.

I like it.
The breakfast is very filling and good
The pancakes are size of a plate !!!

Pastrami good like always burgers where awesome asada fries on the other hand not so great .
Not sure what kinda meat it was, but definitely not carne asada. Lil bit of advice, for the 8 dollar price you guys should at least buy real asada
Hope you guys fix the issue

I love a pops burger! I have loved a pops burger since the olden days when I was in high school, over 20 yrs. I haven’t had one in a few years but today I was on the east side and had that familiar pops burger craving, was delicious and I can only eat half that is how big they are, I didn’t give 5 stars because it seems the bun is different than it used to be but defiantly a great burger especially with yellow pepper on the side for a little heat

want a good burger hands down better then most fast-​food chains

Yum! Just ate here for the first time last week, and the food is delicious. The only reason I’m giving 3 stars is because it tastes just like every other drive-​in food. But yes, it is good! I will be back :)

I’ve been by here several times. The food is fine. I prefer some other drive-​in places in town better though.
When I am in that part of Bakersfield, then this is a much better option than the McDonalds close by. The burgers here are much better. There tacos used to be good also. During my last visit though, I didn’t like it too much.
Would I come back here? Yeah, I probably would. Just not for awhile. It’s a decent place with a cool name. Clean enough and the service is fast.

I don’t come here a lot but a couple times a year I crave the «Pops Burrito» with no rice. It’s «white boy» Mexican food. Crock pot meat, big tortilla, and can enchiladas sauce on top with shredded cheese.
My favorite hamburger is the regular Jr. hamburger basic.
They got the real star ice like Sonic.
There aren’t many places left like Pops.

This place is tasty =). I’ve had a pastrami sandwich, guacamole bacon burger, their strawberry and chocolate shake, and fries. All were yummm! I sometimes question the cleanliness of this place as it looks very dirty from the outside, but b/​c their food tastes so good I kept coming back. I don’t know if I’d drive all the way from SW bksfld now that I don’t ever come to this side of town, but I definitely recommend it to others!

This is my new spot to partake in one of my favorite meals, a french burger.
I used to go to Andre’s, however, recently they (both Andre’s locations) have let me down. Pops has officially replaced them in my lunch repetoire.
In addition to the French burger, which is greasy and cheesy and all around delightful, I am also partial to their tostada which is beefy and crunchy and also quite visually appealing. I guess good presentation is not something you are anticipating when you first walk into a place like pops!
It’s also important to note that they recently put up a new huge menu with pictures of the food, but since I haven’t been eating there that long, I don’t actually know if they changed the actual items or just the design of the menu.

Decent burger, but too much money for the type of restaurant. Terrible service and rude women behind the window.

Very Grease-​Spoon, «Dive-​y» kind of place. It is a fun atmosphere only because it is so old. The food is just okay although now and then I really need one of their breakfast platters. It isnt in the best area so we always get it to go rather than sit in their tiny space or on the gross chairs outside.

i just moved out to bakersfield from BALDWIN PARK, CA a city near L.A. and was looking for a good cheesburger meal out here so i Unilocaled it and took my chances. well that dident help it was the cheapest burger and service i could not belive this place is in service. if you call this a good spot to eat you are sick i will never go to that spot again not even for a soda it it is so over priced. my 9yr. old son even told me he dident like his chilly frys. i also asked for chilly peppers and ranch and they want to sale you everything thats when my son asked me if they were going to sale me the straws to drink our soda lol… NEVER AGAIN POPS

I’m a sucker for a greasy burger and fries. Even more when it comes with a side of nostalgia.
I was introduced to Pop’s a few years back by a friend who raved about the their food as one of the best burgers in town. That’s a pretty big claim, in my opinion. I try not to go into a place with high expectations, but this person had pretty much built them up for me.
Aesthetically, the place isn’t much. It’s an old style drive-​in and can be VERY hot and muggy during the summer months. But it’s soooo worth it.
Great patty’s with avocado, bacon, grilled onions… pretty awesome old fashioned flat top burger. The crinkle-​cut fries are awesome too. Plus vanilla coke. YUM!

I used to be a big fan of Pop’s, but not since my last visit. While the prices are still great, the quality has gone down a great deal. I always looked passed their slow and inaccurate service because they had great and well priced food.
The tacos I purchased were extremely greasy, cold, and lacked flavor. I’m really disappointed in you Pop! They used to have the tastiest shredded beef tacos around, but they have lost it! I’ll try them again someday and hopefully I can modify this review.
It sucks to be let down by your ‘Pop’.

Pop’s Burger is amazing. Double pattys, avocado, bacon, grilled onions, cheese, tomato, lettuce. AMAZING. crinkle cut fries are awesome, so are their deep friend mushrooms. It’s a little pricey for a drive through, but it’s worth it. Also you can get those awesome vanilla pepsi’s, cokes, etc.

I am a sucker for nostalgia, and that’s exactly what this place serves up. It is a total no-​nonsense drive-​in. What more can I say? They have exactly what you expect them to have, and they do it all pretty darn well. They also serve Mexican food, but more than just the fried burritos that other drive-​ins serve. They have actual 1970s style California-​Mexican food. The usual suspects, all in your choice of either cheese, or ground beef. I usually hate that crap, but I like it when it is handed to me through my car window. I actually really like their salsa, car window or not.
Three of the four stars I gave Pop’s are for their fries with seasoned-​salt and their crushed ice. Many drive-​ins and drive-​thrus advertised «crushed ice», but Pop’s is the real deal. I love it. The other star is for the nice servers and the fact that this place is super clean and well taken care of.

Alright. This by far has to be the best burger place I have ever been to. I’ve been to quite a few corner hole in the wall burger places throughout Bakersfield, but none of them compare to pops.
When you first walk in right away you are greeted, which to me is always nice and for some reason makes the food taste better. I ordered the number two which is a hamburger with small fries and a large pepsi. It was $ 5.15 before tax and right away my order was being made. When my food was ready I stunk right in and oh em… Its was like an orgy of flavors in my mouth. Perfectly toasted sesame buns, perfectly seasoned crinkled fries and pepsi with crushed ice. My sister ordered zucchini and I’m not sure what the batter was made of, but by far its hands down the best I’ve ever had.
Would I go back? Defffy! Its worth a drive to the hood.
