This place has been around for a while…I used to get my haircut here as a kid! They are located in the Fair Oaks Village area. These people know what they are doing when it comes to cutting and styling kids’ hair! If you have a squirmy child they work to distract them with toys. If your child is scared, they are very patient with them and help them to warm up to the experience and people. They have a little area with toys and prizes and things to keep the kids occupied while you are there. EJs is a lot more expensive than say SuperCuts or Great Clips, but they know what they are doing and are experienced at cutting little people’s hair while they wiggle.

We tried out this place to get some expensive men's dress shoes repaired and they did an amazing job resoling them. They did such a good job that you don't even notice that they have been resoled. The repairs have held up very well too so far. We were so pleased that we went back in with a couple other pairs (we have a lot of dress shoes for my husband's work). It is a little pricey, but I think what they charge is fair (and it is certainly less than new shoes and extends the life of your investment in a good pair).

This is a reliable place to get your dry cleaning done. They also do repairs if needed to your clothing. They've got a drive-thru so you can just pull up and hand over your clothes without even having to get out of the car -- makes it very speedy. They can get your clothes cleaned by the next day. You pay a little more here for the convenience of drive-up drop off and next day availablity, but it's not outrageous pricing. We paid $16.75 for a men's suit (jacket and pants) and a tie. They advertise that they do not ship your clothes to another location – they clean on-site allegedly. They have quite a few locations around town.

We called up this tow company to have our car taken home -- a flatbed tow truck showed up within about 20 minutes and loaded the car without any problems. The truck was an extended cab so our entire family (2 adults, 1 child with carseat) were able to go home with the car at the same time (although it was a tight fit). I didn’t like that the driver had a passenger (his wife) in the truck with him so we had to ride in the back of the extended cab tow. The inside of the truck was littered with well, litter. The driver and his wife were friendly and polite on the drive. One thing we didn’t like was that their advertisement indicated we could pay with a credit card and we arranged for the pickup; once the driver showed up though and we were driving home and we confirmed how much it would be, etc. he said we had to pay cash! Thank goodness we had enough cash on us to cover the cost of the tow or I don’t know what we would have done. He acted surprised that the dispatcher hadn’t told us that (when in fact the dispatcher said credit would be fine) so I would rate their company’s communication very poor.

These movie theaters are the best ones in Bakersfield. They keep them pretty clean and they have stadium seating and nice seats inside the theaters. When the kids are out of school in the summer months they have free movie screenings during the day (children do have to be supervised though) for second-run movies that have been out a while. They usually post the schedule of the free movies sometime in June for the entire summer. Because they have so many screens at this theater they can show a wider selection of movies at more times so you are usually able to get a ticket to what you want to see. Prices for tickets are average for first-run movies.

They had live music the night we were there. Make sure you ask for the buffet style meal so you get to try everything -- it gets you the best bang for your buck. They have a variety of exotic meat for you to choose from and the servers bring it around to you on huge spits. The grilled pineapple is very tasty. They feature many traditional Brazilian dishes in the buffet, but also some more "Americanized" offerings if you have a pickier eater with you. You control how much or how little your servers bring by to you to slice onto your plate by turning your stick to green for more or red to signal to stop for now. They have some yummy looking desserts, but we never have room for them by the time we actually get around to that course.

This is a nice indoor range facility. They have a moderate selection of guns and gun accessories and some hunting supplies. Most of my experience with them has been with their classes though. They have good instructors who go through everything with you and really tailor classes to the needs of the individuals in the class. They do first time and renewal concealed carry classes and also offer safety classes. If you sign up for a class you have to pay for it unless they are able to fill your spot if you end up needing to cancel or drop the class for some reason. If you are having a hard time getting in a class somewhere it’s worth a call or drive out to Chico because they offer classes regularly and do have cancellations now and then if you are trying to get in right away. The staff is very knowledgeable about guns and parts and are helpful.

This pharmacy is on the Truxtun Extension a few blocks west of Coffee. The pharmacy is mostly to fill prescriptions, but they do have some commonly used over-the-counter medicines in the shop. It should not be considered a drug store by any means though, selection is limited. There is also a soda/beverage vending machine inside and a few snack selections that you can purchase. The pharmacists and pharmacy techs there are friendly and explain all of your copays and fees there for whatever drugs you are having filled. Typically they have what you need in stock so they fill it on the spot (unlike some other pharmacies).

This restaurant specializes in Hunan cuisine and is located in Chinatown. The staff is very good about seating you right away and provide great service. Tea service and a soup course are standard with a meal. Portions are huge if you order a specific dish off of the menu because everything is served family style. I suggest going with a group of friends or coworkers and ordering a variety of dishes and then splitting them so you get to try some of everything and get some chow mien or fried rice or whatever you like as a base to go with the dishes. They have all of the favorite beef, chicken, pork, and veggie dishes and their seafood and duck dishes are very good also. We love to eat here for lunch anytime we are in the city.

This is a fun Mexican restaurant. They used to give you a free meal on your birthday, but not anymore. I think they still do sing to you and bring you dessert though. They have fresh chips and salsa as appetizers. The food is good and comprised of most of the regular Mexican offerings plus refried beans, Mexican rice, sweet corn pone, etc. I really like their fajitas that they bring on a sizzling platter to the table with all of the fixins. The inside looks like a pueblo and has a grand entrance with vaulted ceiling area. Off to the different sides is the bar and then all of the dining areas in smaller rooms. Lighting is lower for ambience. Service is pretty good. They don’t have televisions in the other dining areas (just the bar/cantina) if you are invisioning a sports bar because of the previous review – the TV is just in the bar area, which is totally separate from the dining area.
