Young people don't think of the man and others probably just think of HE-HA and "Tiger by the Tail" and move on. But Buck Owens was very much more than that and I hope you will stop in and look around. The food is a bit pricy-even us locals only go here once in a great while. I and my... more

Last Sunday my wife and I enjoyed an exceptional buffet served with warm hospitality. We highly recommend brunch especially at the bargain price, including tip, of $25 per person. All the food was perfect! Six stations included (1) salad/fruit, (2) breakfast, (3) meat, (4) omelet, (5) waffle and (6) desert. Buffet presentation, quality and service were the best we have... more

We arrived just prior to the opening of the restaurant and decided to see the "museum" first. We didn't know until we were inside that the museum is just cases along the walls of the restaurant. We wouldn't have had to pay the entry fee if we had just waited 30 minutes for the dinner seating to start, but we... more

Who wouldn't want to visit Buck's Crystal Palace and Museum? Planned a stop over in Bakersfield to do just that, check out the museum, have dinner, hear some music and dance. Well, don't believe everything you see/read on their website because they do not keep it up to date. After checking into the Best Western Crystal Place next door (great... more

I love country music - there I've said it!! And finding this gem on an overnight stay from San Francisco down for a flight from LAX was just wonderful. We arrived here on a Friday evening at about 6pm with no reservation and got seated no problem. We stayed for the 7.30pm show and the whole experience was just great!... more

$7 for a Captain and Diet? Enough said! However I will add that the food we tried (salmon) was not too bad. If you like country music then this is the place for you but bring some $$$$$. more

We have an 18 month old, well behaved little boy. I had looked forward for several years to visiting the Chrystal Palace, so made reservations for the last day of our vacation. Since our little guy is usually in bed by 7, we made a reservation for 5:00 pm, knowing that we would miss the live show, but still have... more

We went to the Buck Owens Crystal palace for a meal this April and were very pleased with the food, sevice and the entertainment. We were on a touring holiday from the UK and had stopped for one night in Bakersfield. I had found this place on the internet and thought it might be interesting. We were not dissapointed.
