Dining in Bakersfield, Kern County
Bakersfield is Kern County's seat and largest city by far, with the county's widest range of lodging and dining — from a restored 1928 downtown boutique hotel to the Basque restaurant tradition rooted in the city's early-1900s sheepherding immigrants. See our Basque heritage guide for that history.
