The food is astonishing, the memorabilia is fun, service is great. If you get to attend a concert, there isn't a bad seat in the house

We just took nine people to the Crystal Palace for mothers day last Saturday night. The food is very good and the music is fantastic. Their hamburgers are probably the best in town. We had steaks, salmon, etc and everything first class. It was $357.00 with a tip. My only complaint was that we were seated at two different tables.... More

Went here as part of a group on a Thursday night 5/10/12. Band was off the wall great! Food and drinks also A+. Drinks were standard price $5 - $10 and the food was very good but since it was part of the group deal I can't rate the price. Overall a big yes for me.

This is a top of the line establishment. The museum is a wonderful look at Bakersfields past. The restaurant is as good a place to dine as you will ever find. Do yourself a favor and visit this wonderful place for a wonderful time.
