Modern Grub — Restaurant in Bakersfield

I am going to miss this place sooooooooo much. I am a traveling medical professional who is trying to eat healthy and still have it be yummy and not boring or a chore to eat. I have had another meal prep person and this company blows that experience out of the water. I like that you can see what the menu is going to be so if you have a favorite, you can look forward to that. You can order ahead, which I only did once since I procrastinated most weeks, but you also have the option to just walk in a pick from the meals available. They don't always have what you want but most times they had so many options I was good with. If you order ahead, you don't need to worry about availability. They started making this new curried chickpea salad and OMG deeeeelish! I wish this was a national chain because it would rock! thank you guys so much for being so good at what you do. I really am going to miss the good food, the convenience, and the friendliness of all those who work there. Miss you already...

I now understand the stereotype that white people don't season their food. This place is for people who think avocados are spicy. I am all for salt-free, sugar-free, healthy food, but these people have obviously never heard of any other spices. The salsa in their chicken bowl literally tasted like someone whispered tomato in another room and that was it. The rice and veggie bowl, on the other hand, didn't even taste like it had a drop of lemon in it, much less lemon vinaigrette. You truly have to work to make food this bland. My sister said it best when she said, "I eat bland food, and this is way too bland for me." These people could really benefit from a good cookbook like Nom Nom Paleo or The Whole30. I don't say this lightly when I say the food here is inedible. Do yourself a favor and go to the Mexican place around the corner. The veggie fajitas and salsa were actually flavorful, and the people there were super accommodating to...

Writing a review based on customer service which was excellent!!

I bought my friend a gift card for her bday online and the gift card didn’t reach my friend. So I called in 10 mins after close, and to my surprise Katie from MG picked up. I could tell she was exhausted from the day but that didn’t stop her from trying to figure out how to get my friend the gift card. Even though I told Katie it would be fine if my friend got it the next day, she wasn’t having it. Katie was determined and on a mission! She called me 20 mins later and sorted everything out with the owner and my friend got her gift card shortly after.

When my friend got the gift card she was thrilled and raved on about how much she loves the food from MG!! So happy I decided to purchase from MG and looking forward to trying a meal or two when I visit my friend in Bakersfield.

Thanks MG for being...
