They are very honest and willing to help someone who is in need. Like anyone who needs a walker. Love the stuff that they have there.
Theu have a little bit of just about EVERYTHING here. And they are so friendly and helpfuj.
Best store ever so much good stuff
I like to shop here they have a large selection of merchandise and they’re willing to bargain
It’s the kind of place you go if you are in need and don’t have a lot of money. Everything is used obviously and may or may not work as expected, but if you’re in need then this is a good place to check.
They had blankets and cookware that are useful. They had workout equipment – some of which are useful. They had a small section for kids and they had furniture – some of which was overpriced, but other stuff was adequately priced.
Wonderful little shop for this and that’s with great prices and friendly service. Found all kinds of neat and useful things.
Rude customer service
Roger is a weirdo and takes people wife’s to get abortions.
Meh since all the prices are from the top notch ebay sells i rarely find anything to buy
4. Victoria’s Antiques & Collectables
Address: 413 Center St, Taft, CA 93268 , Taft Heights , California , United States
Me and my husband Chris and granddaughter Meeka like going to Family Dollar. Their always nice and very helpful when we need it.
We go to the story a lot and love it.
Muy buenos productos y de bajo costo
Ok bueno.
Out of Lysol spray…
Good prices on some..avg on others..
They did not have any dog food bags over 5lbs for sale , most shelves were empty , extremely rude staff , cash register lady heard my son drop basketball and she screamed at us across the store to not bounce or we’d have to pay for it or we’d be kicked out, I paid for ball and won’t be coming back, I’ll be going elsewhere.
I’ve witnessed numerous other customers at various times, with legitimate concerns that were verbally attacked, made fun of, and humiliated by 2 different managers, and the clerks as well.
Today I was on the receiving end of the most appalling, unprofessional, aggressive encounter I have ever experienced. There is no reason Family Dollar employees should put their hand up to my face, use foul language, treat me as if I was out of line to request assistance of a completely ambiguous, misleading statement of the return policy with a receipt.
The energy this staff puts into bullying customers would be better served by
1. Making aisles accessible to customers,
With most blocked by careless stocking methods, they might find a way to reduce their unattended road blocks.
2. Allow the customers to use the shopping carts, instead of pop up end caps or for trash during stocking.
3. Clean up the store. Basic housekeeping skills are necessary.
4. Give the contest of the store selling the most candy bars or sodas a rest. A store contest of basic customer service, and organization of products along with a company policy that actually has legal standing is important for the customer.
5. Service excellence training, these managers and clerks clearly have no clue that concept is a huge part of retail.
6. Family Dollar, you have an entire staff from open to close, who become belligerent, offer no conflict resolution, together they incite the highest level of escalation into aggressive actions against the customers who bring inappropriate encounters to their attention.
Cashiers rude 2 customers and unorganized with the line making everyone wait longer. I’ll never return.
7. Freddy’s Cigarette Store
Address: 1006 6th St, Taft, CA 93268 , Taft Heights , California , United States
Perfect, lots of help, wonderful employees and a pretty cool selection of different things anywhere from tattoo equipment to clothing, tobacco pipes and bongs and jewelry and they also have a little Mexican diner type place in Freddy’s.
Radical
Fred the owner is very brash and just hateful man parionia
they’re always pretty cool, good prices and close to the college, library, grocery store and many more businesses so location is great!
Just a dirty little corner market. Nothing special, wanted to buy some vape juice. Lots of miscellaneous items and cigarettes. Standard price for what I bought. Apparently he is the only vape supply in Taft.
Freddy is no good. He runs illegal gambaling out of the store. He will a take ur money but if you win you can’t get paid. Freddy should be arrested
Sells broken vapes . I bought a 20$ vape and it doesn’t work at all . And they refuse to switch it out. I spent $20 out of my hard earned money for nothing. They wont switch it out because they dont want to loose money because there boxed up and dont work BEWARE . THEY HAVE BOXED UP BROKEN VAPES IN THIS FLAVOR.
Sold defective product, refused to give any sort of refund and then was incredibly rude
8. Black Gold Brewing Company
Address: 508 Center St, Taft, CA 93268 , Taft Heights , California , United States
Our first impresion was negative – we arrived in Taft around 8pm and were looking for a place for beer and burgers. Sounded like the Black Gold Brewing Company would be a perfect fit. But they closed at 8pm. A Brewery closing at 8??!!!
We came back a couple of days later in the middle of day, seeking refuge from a rainstorm. The owner was extremely nice, the burgers were great (Lots of choices too) and the coffee was very good! Would have laved to try their beers – but we were on motorcycles. Looks like I have to try again….
Sleepy little brewery in the historic downtown area of Taft. Been there three times during the day. Sparse crowds. Beer is fine. I’m into hoppy beers. An IPA was only available once. Today I had citrusy pale ale and it was quite refreshing after riding in 100 degree heat.
This would have been 5 starts after lunch, but walked out at dinner after 10 minutes of no service.
The waiter was very helpful, and then the owner came over and ruined it. Apearantly, it is not ok to order a coors beer in a brewery. The steaks tasted kinda funny but very heavily seasoned, so we thought it was just the spices. But about an hour later, it all went south and kept going all night long. I wouldn’t go back there.
I drove two hours out of my way to check this place out. I was going based on the hours that reflect on google. Upon arriving to the restaurant they had a sign on the door that said open Monday- Friday 7am-9am 1130am-130pm and 5pm-730pm. Lucky for me I arrived at 930am. Determined to try this place out I actually waited until 1130am. 1130am came and the restaurant was still closed. I saw people across the street that looked like locals so I asked if they knew weather the restaurant was even opening today. To my surprise they said, “The owner opens when ever he wants, so we couldn’t tell you weather he will even open today.” “He shows up randomly, he probably isn’t even opening at all this week since Thanksgiving is this week.” Mind you it was only Monday. The business could of at least put up a sign on the window giving customers a heads up about being closed for the week due to the holiday.
9. Home Family Thrift Store and more

10. McDonald’s
Address: 10001 Kern St, Taft, CA 93268 , Taft Heights , California , United States
Good service nice staff good food the best tea in town
Clean and friendly
Very nice up-to-date McDonalds. So it gets five stars compared with other McDonalds.
Me gustó
It’s fast food, not great…used to be better but now just a has been. They’ve had to change the recipe because they’re fries are not the same as they used to be, plus the ice cream machine is always down so can’t really rate those fairly.
They forgot another 10 piece of a 20 piece of mcnuggets I paid for but they forgot to do it so please check before handing the bag to the customer
I never get what i order
McDonald’s is supposed to have breakfast all day and they say they don’t do that
Worst food I ever had . Not eating there anymore
11. Taft College Bookstore
Address: 29 Cougar Ct, Taft, CA 93268 , Taft Heights , California , United States
It’s seriously gross that people can actually give a negative review for a college bookstore nevertheless this college bookstore students are very helpful knowledgeable and quick to get the line moving and the appropriate materials to everybody I don’t understand how people can be so cold besides the fact that they’re sitting behind a computer or their phone and suddenly they become the grand Puba of negative reviews because they’re having a bad day grow up chill and understand that the world is not perfect and especially in an environment like this nobody is intentionally doing anything negative idiot.
Very friendly, very helpful people!
Very helpful.
Great service. Doesnt make sense the book store is across the ways from the college but whatever.
They are awesome when they are open..
The whole bookstore is a joke. There were about six or more workers there and all they do is stare at you like they seen a ghost and talk amongst each other rather then help me or the other lady in the store. It makes no sense that I have to print out my schedule in order to even speak to anyone about renting or purchasing a book and to top it off, you have to buy a $30 STICKER in order to rent books when I’m paying them for my tuition, what sense does that make? None let me tell you that much. Oh and you can’t do anything without having a student ID. The whole experience was very unprofessional and irritating. I will never be renting from them again. Good luck finding it as well it’s in a random shopping center rather than on the actual school campus. They need someone there managing the time of the workers rather than having them stand around making everyone uncomfortable because all they do is stare rather then help. Definitely would give a zero star if possible.
The smug rude woman who offered real help only oh yeah…you need this and that, but not from here. Customer service is not a strength
12. Oasis Bar and Grill
Address: 414 North St, Taft, CA 93268 , Taft Heights , California , United States
Wonderful dive bar with great food. Caters to night shift workers, opens at 6am.
Haven’t been there in a very long time. The food is even better than I remember.
It’s small and there’s literally almost nowhere to sit. Unless you bring your own table and chairs I would plan on standing all night or maybe just go somewhere else. Staff is very friendly and service is fast only something needs to be done about the very limited seating.
*UPDATE*. Went back on April 20. Glad to see they are really making an effort to build this place up. There’s more seating than there was my last visit. Still a little under par but you can see, owner is making an effort and that’s great. Very friendly atmosphere, bartenders are very friendly and fast. Great traits and very important for the position of bartender. The upstairs is set up nice. This could accommodate company parties, birthday parties, any large gathering and you’d be very comfortable. Staff is very eager to accommodate for event so I would definitely check them out should you have a need for a party place. I’m happy to see the improvements as I really do like this establishment and would love to see it a “happening place” again. Kudos to the owner and staff.
Good food a little rough
They just opened back up with new owners and a new menu. The food we tried was good and the bartender was really helpful and nice. Good place to have a drink,eat a snack and chill if you are in taft.
Are they open? Or reopened, I’m new to the area.
Better Bars in the area don’t waste your time here
Food was terrible biscuits taste day old hashbrowns burnt would not recommend
13. Dave’s Glass Shop
Address: 101 6th St, Taft, CA 93268 , Taft Heights , California , United States
Great customer service. Had a broken window so I called, gave the measurements and picked it up less than 2 hours.
Home town friendly and complete
Chip in main view just happen 15 min earlier. Here at Dave’s glass was brought right into the main floor assessed the issue determined this was able to be repaired with the filler compounds & full replacement was not needed. Honest direct service” was on my way in 32 mins.. Well done.

Rude, expensive and not open on the weekend
14. Route 33 Sandwich Co
Address: 700 Kern St, Taft, CA 93268 , Taft Heights , California , United States
The girls that work here always hit on my friend brett and hes going through some tough stuff right now, so he could use the confidence boost. Also, sammiches.
This is a really good sandwich place, there is even barrels of peanuts. I recommend you to go to Route 33
Love the Reuben!
Nice little sandwich shop got a roast beef & Turkey sandwich fresh ingredients great place to grab a quick bite before getting back to work
Great place for a sandwich, they are a little pricey for what you get but still really good.
Food’s good, but just too high for a sandwich place.
Long wait food was just ok
Subpar at best. Definitely not a fake review. The prices were outrageous and the food was lacking. I guess go to albertson’s buy your sides and up charge the already up charged sides. Have a nice day.
Food was terrible !! But customer service amazing, their outside patio still had penuts to grab by the hand full
