Suggested to hit the spot by a local no regrets ✨????✨ we were not familiar with Basque but now we want more! We had the pork chops and the chicken absolutely delicious ???? entrees come with courses of food .. served family style! So much fun ???? bring the entire family and serve and share all the dishes ✨????✨ everything tastes like it comes out of a homemade kitchen ???? The best of Bakersfield ????
I have never had Basque food and wasn’t disappointed. Got the setup and added pickled tongue and entree of roast lamb. A bit pricey for one person, but after seeing how much good I got, I can see why. I couldn’t eat it all as a solo diner. Clean, quaint restaurant with fast and friendly service. Since I have never had or heard of basque, I can’t say authentic, but it was good food. Pickled tongue was different (it’s an acquired taste), but I ate it all. Salsa was on point and roast lamb was good.
We order ox tails and lamb chops per recommendation of the restaurant for traditional basque food. They are so good. Ox tail is so tender and tasty. It matches the rice well. The lamb chop is also good but volume is smaller and the French fries is so so. We add soup and salad. It is totally worth it. The price is not cheap but with the quality and quantity it is justified. No wonder it has so many good reviews.
My wife and I had lunch at Woolgrowers. I had lunch and dinner there about five years ago on a business trip. We were seated quickly, and our waitress showed us the menu, and offered recommendations. We had the Thursday special - garlic fried chicken with carrots. We really enjoyed the family style soup, salad and bread. The food arrived in a reasonable amount of time, well seasoned and tasting great. I think Woolgrowers is the best Basque restaurant I have ever tried. Besides the high quality of food taste, the photos and decor is very pleasant and enjoyable.
The restaurant is located among warehouses. Driving through the neighborhood, we were a little uneasy. We were able to find a spot at the adjacent lot. Definitely the restaurant is located in an interesting neighborhood.
We stopped in around 12:39 on a Saturday. The parking lot was full. Walked in from the banquet room side door. The room was full of people.
Service was prompt and friendly. Drinks, bread, and salad were brought out quickly.
Food was hugh portion. The salad and pickled tomatoes were delicious with its dressing. The sandwiches had a lot of meat. Our favorite was the oxtail stew. The oxtail was so tender that meat came right off the bone.
Didn’t give a five star because we were expecting a basque cheesecake but it was a cheesecake that one can buy from a supermarket.
Every time I stop by Bakersfield, I come to Wool Growers. The soup is my favorite. The salad is so fresh. The service is nice enough for a busy restaurant. The prices are really reasonable still. Enough parking spaces.
Basque style restaurant. Quite the history. Get there hungry as the portions are quite large.
I had the ox tail. Very tender. Mom had the filet of sole. Said it was good. Soup was very tasty. There were a side of beans and hot sauce as condiment for the soup. My aunt had the fried chicken. They complained the fries was not crispy. Was on the soggy side. Must experience at least once. Meat lover a must. Not much for the vegetarian.
All the food is bland and inoffensive. If you are a picky eater you would like it here.
The old decor, quality of food, sad workers remind me of the Taft College cafeteria, surprisingly.
Extremely pricey for the size & amount of food given.
I ordered the patty melt. The meat was extremely dry and tasteless. The 'fries' were mushy & tasted off.
Decor is dated, probably all original. Bench seats are flat and wobble. The dinnerware and cutlery all look original as well with lots of scuffs & cracks in the porcelain.
The dining room is too loud making it difficult to hear the waiter. Hostess & waiter stations are visibly cluttered and disorganized.
The waiters themselves are so disinterested in serving you. None of them are mean, but you can tell they just want their shift to be over.
