Mossman's Westchester Coffee Shop — Restaurant in Bakersfield

I was craving fish and chips and we decided to visit Mossman's as we hadn't been in quite awhile. We saw the special of the day was chicken pot pie which sounded good. We decided to have the special instead of the fish and chips. Our waitress, who was great, brought out us out a bowl containing the contents of the pie minus the crust. It was served with what I think was a piece of old cornbread. The pie just looked bad and it also had a bad smell. I always give the benefit of the doubt and hoped it might taste better than it looked or smelled. I took a large spoonful of the pie and it tasted so awful. On top of bad taste it also had a tasted burned. My wife tasted it and I could tell in her face that she too thought it was terrible. We politely told our waitress that we didn't care for the pie. She seemed embarrassed and was very apologetic, I felt like she knew it was terrible. A few minutes later the cook also came out and apologized to us saying "Some people like it" We ordered the fish and chips instead which were also disappointing. I felt bad as I have many great memories dining here with my parents and our kids when they were small. I feel terrible that the restaurant appears to be doing badly. I love and support local eateries, especially those that have been around for many years like this one. But I have to say that the food was terrible and now I know why the restaurant was empty during a day and time when it should have had more customers. I wish them well but they need to do...

Absolute BEST fish and chips in town. They probably always will be. And if you dare blame them for the bowling alley closing down, just know they had nothing to do with that. Do you think they would have pushed for the alley to close down and lose 95% of their business?! You're out of your mind if you think that. It makes no sense! They do fish and chips the nearly original way which means the fish bits are done in cubes. If you have some odd aversion to cubed fish, you can go learn so history because this is how it's done. Battered flats is a relatively new way of doing it. The fish is done perfectly and the breading is nice and crunchy. The fries are also perfect as well as the tartar sauce. A lot of the complaints on here are nonsensical and you really need to use logic to know the bad reviews are just being karens. The staff is so wonderful and I could have spent half the day just chatting if I didn't have a to go order waiting to take home to my dad. They work hard and they love their patrons. I hadn't been here in over a decade until my dad asked me to pick up an order and I'm glad I did. They're the homey make you feel comfortable type of people and I'm sure we'll be getting many more meals there soon. I've got nothing but praise for them. The cook was outside when I pulled up and I asked if they still had fish and chips on the menu and he have an emphatic "YES!" so, even the guys you don't see make this place go round. This place should get WAY more attention than it does....

Absolutely Loved this Place. First time Going. Went in there with my Brothers, Chose the seats away from the Windows, it was nice and Clean.

We Sat down and the Waiter came in to greet us Instantly asking if we wanted Drinks. I ordered a Coffee, and my Brothers ordered their own Drinks. Tasted the Coffee without Creamer and Sugar, it was pretty great, I tried it with sugar and Creamer, still Amazing. By the way, Free Refills!!!

We ordered our own Burgers, I personally tried the Ortega Burger, and I have to say. Presentation is Amazing, the Meat is actually Savory and Delicious. The Ortega Pepper was Cooked great. Pepperjack Cheese is out of this World, the Veggies were Fresh, and the Sauce was pretty great too. I also used Tapatio on it for that kick, but just informing you they do have Tapatio ❤️

Fries were Definitely Amazing, I dipped them in Ranch, and Tapatio Mix, the Ranch itself tasted Great.

After Eating, we were told if we'd be wanting Dessert, but sadly we were full and refused, but I'm definitely open to coming back for another Meal and even trying their Desserts, will keep this Updated 🤘

Overall, this is a Perfect place for Family Dinners, Casual Lunches, Dates, or even coming for a Cup of Coffee. Will definitely recommend this place to...
