Was not impressed by this restaurant at all. The Happy Hour menu was mediocre at best with the Camp Shrimp being the only notable success. The Fish Tacos, while huge, were also very bland. The Calamari came with a pistachio crust, for which there was no allergy warning. As someone with a nut allergy, finding out the hard way that it was made with pistachios was not fun. The cheeseburger looked frozen, and they had what was far and away the worst spinach and artichoke dip I’ve ever had in my life. Barely melted cheese, watery, tomatoes AND green onions. Feels like an alien’s recreation of spinach and artichoke dip from memory. Not to mention the most milquetoast, thin tortilla chips for dipping. Maybe the actual menu is good but for the prices, I’ll let other people figure it out for me. My server, Jacob, was fantastic. I think they are overworking him though. He was in charge of the entire patio.

We had the best lunch ever. The Joe’s steak, is a must try!!! So tender and flavorful. It was so good and the loaded baked potato and the green beans too. Everything was wonderful, including the bloody mary which comes with a beer chaser. The prices were good too, and they serve lunch on the weekend, which is nice.

We moved away 8 yrs ago .
Tahoe Joe’s, was always extremely great food and service.
On 01/08/26, we were visiting and we were excited to re visit Tahoe Joe’s.
Must be under new management and staff.
Our campfire shrimp was soggy as if to have been reheated, and 1 of our plates came with the sauce already poured over it as shown in the picture. Our Ribeys @$47.oo each ( 3) of us had no flavor, and more fat than meat.
Our Ranch salads were so watered down, no taste.
The Calamari, if in fact it was Calamari was nasty .⁰
My wife had desert, and was told by our waiter they did not serve decaffeinated coffee
Oh and nothing worse than just before the bill comes, our waiter with the black bowl cut hair all the sudden turns on the charm, ( for Tip)
So we will not be returning to Tahoe Joe’s anytime soon.

Ordered the ribeye, cooked medium. Atmosphere was great. Sat at the bar party of two. Was assisted right away. Ordered the ribeye, cooked medium. I have had a more flavorful ribeye but everything else was good. Bartender was very attentive. Will give a 2nd chance.

This has been my favorite restaurant for a long time and my regular happy hour spot and I usually come here three to four times a week because I love the food, the atmosphere, and especially the service since the staff is always so kind and welcoming. I was really bummed to hear that happy hour is now starting at 2:00 PM because that time just does not work with my schedule anymore, which sadly means I will have to start going somewhere else even though I do not want to. I truly love this place and the people who work here and it makes me sad that I will not be able to come as often as I used to, but I really hope they consider bringing the old happy hour time back.

I’ve always enjoyed Tahoe Joe’s and have been a customer for many years. The food and drinks are good, and the staff is always friendly.
That said, the recent change to happy hour times was a letdown. I loved the smaller portion option with a cocktail — it made it easy to stop in for a lighter meal. Without that flexibility, it’s not quite the same experience.

Excellent Happy Hour…
Reasonable prices on a variety of happy hour specials.
Recently we had an excellent server, Roxy who was very personable and efficient .
Had the delicious jackpot nachos and the railroad camp shrimp.
Delicious margaritas as well!!
Great place to have happy hour

We love Tahoe Joe’s and used to go to the Fresno location often, so we were excited to try the Bakersfield one. Even though it was busy on New Year’s Day and the kitchen was backed up, the staff never felt rushed. The manager (wish I knew her name!) was present, calm, and clearly had a plan—serious applause to her.
Our waiter was great with our kids, very patient, and genuinely friendly. He knew the menu well and gave excellent recommendations. We ordered the railroad shrimp, crab cake dish, and ribeye, all of which were delicious. The kids’ burger was great too, and the cheesecake is still our favorite.
We love Tahoe Joe’s and hope another location opens closer to us again. We’ll definitely be back when we’re in the area.

Great place to enjoy with the family. This time I ordered takeout, but I’ve also been coming here for 6 years..

I love Tahoe Joes but it’s unfortunate they changed their happy hour hours. Working across the street I was able to go and get a quick lunch with a sample of all my favorites for a reasonable price. Since they changed happy hour to 2pm I will need to find a new lunch spot that’s more affordable during my lunch hour. Please change the happy hour back to 12pm.
