The Bakersfield Symphony Orchestra is in it’s 77th season under the direction of John Farrer.  This season I attended the Bohemian Rhapsody concert. There’s a distinctive feel in the air at a symphony that I just love.  The sharp crisp sounds and the precision of the conductor were mesmerizing.  At some point my head was bobbing with the beat.  I enjoyed seeing the different age groups, young and old, come together on stage for their love of classical music. This was a great educational evening.  For more information about the Bakersfield Symphony Orchestra check out their website.

If you’re looking for atmosphere RJ’s is the place.  This is a great spot for groups.  You can watch sports from every angle, the bar, or tables.   Something about sports ignites excitement, and friendly conversations with strangers. ☺  We sat outside with a group of 6 and enjoyed the weather.  RJ’s food is a step above bar food.  They have all the typical bar items along with pasta, steak, and fancy salads.  I most enjoyed the chicken chowder!  They also have specials for the kids!!  RJ’s is located at 9440 Hageman Rd.

I can remember the first time I saw the construction of Chick-fil-A on Stockdale. I was so excited I almost ran a red light trying to make sure my eyes were seeing the famous red & white Chick-fil-A sign.  Chick-fil-A is one of my favorite, healthy ‘fast food’ joints!  At Chick-fil-A the coleslaw is so good, a person who NEVER eats coleslaw, has to have it with her Chick-fil-A meal.  Friday night my husband took me to Chick-fil-A.  He had never eaten there before, so this was going to be a mouth watering experience.  I let him scour at the menu for a while before I ordered a Chick-fil-A meal for both of us.  It was crowded but we were able to snatch a booth; people watch and enjoy our waffle fries, coleslaw and sandwiches. My husband enjoyed his sandwich but didn’t care for the waffle fries.  I was just happy to be eating my sandwich and coleslaw. Chick-fil-A is located at 5260 Stockdale Hwy.

Moo Creamery has been the hot new place since it recently opened.  I checked them out on a Saturday night and it was more packed than any bar I’ve been to on a Saturday night.  It was hustling with families, couples and tweens. Moo Creamery uses the freshest local products and makes the best homemade ice cream & burgers.  Their prices are extremely reasonable compared to their quality.  I loved their crispy fresh sliced pickles and their malts go perfect with a hamburger.  Moo is all about families!! Sunday evenings at 5PM is family night at Moo.  They serve a family style three-course dinner.  Moo Creamery is located at 4885 Truxtun Ave. between Oak and Mohawk.

I think I finally found it!! Last night I didn’t feel like cooking so my husband suggested trying the new BBQ place on Rosedale, Fred’s Barbecue Factory.  I ordered the ½ chicken entrée.  After inquiring about the sausage, I added the Basque style sausage to my order. I love sausage, Chappell Hill Sausage is my favorite, so I didn’t expect much from is place. OMG the sausage was homemade and Delicious! They were so good I ate the leftovers this morning for breakfast.  I will definitely be a regular at Fred’s but the next time I’ll ask them NOT to cut the sausage. You can dine-in at Fred’s but it’s small, more of a To Go spot. ☺  They also provide full catering services.  Fred’s Barbecue Factory is located at 4208 Rosedale Hwy #309.
