I highly recommend I am working from out of town in Taft and my vape broke on me so I went in to try and buy parts but got an awesome deal instead. I used a Smok TFV8 vape pen and that is one that broke. He offered to throw in 10 15ml bottles if I purchased a new Smok Prince Stick at 60 dollars which is a fair price. He was friendly and patient if you vape in Taft or nearby this is definitely the place to go. Also he carrries everything and more than a convience store and cheap cigarettes.
They carrie bike parts and another of fishing stuff.
It’s ok.
Freddy’s has just a little bit of everything it’s good for me
Smokem if you got them
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

He has alot of different things. Good shopping for men and women. Great place.
Great place. Great thrift store. Lots and lots of different things to choose from. A lot of fun.
great deals they have some hard to find items such as a old glass scrub board for laundry. I even saw something I used to own when I lived in ventura County that I gave to a nephew 20 years ago and it still had my initials handwritten in my hand. I mentioned it to Roger and he ended up giving it to me even when I planned on buying it.. very nice people.. we need to support our local family owned business. and keep our economy going
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.
Meh since all the prices are from the top notch ebay sells i rarely find anything to buy
Rude customer service
Roger is a weirdo and takes people wife’s to get abortions.

I had the ribeye. The seasoning was so delicious. Good Stuff!
Excellent food
And Excellent handcrafted beer
Best Thai food I’ve ever had
Tai food is good!
My friend and I almost walked out, ask about desserts on menu no desserts waitress said, ok how about a cup of coffee, no coffee, machine was broken, I thought this was a coffee house but we decided to stay and try the place and have to say the Dinner was fantastic, we had the cheese and spinach ravoli. with salad, bread would have been good but not included.
I Went to the theater next door and bought two cups of their coffee and brought back to enjoy with our dinner.
Will go back again and see if they fixed their coffee machine and have desserts like they list on their website. Highly recommend
Good beer, and buy a gun if you want.
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.
This would have been 5 starts after lunch, but walked out at dinner after 10 minutes of no service.
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.

Priced right for your pockets that need a steal of a deal…
Clean, well stocked and Awesome staff!
It was nice and clean and the cashier was very helpful
This visit was not as enjoyable as before. I use a power chair because of health issues.
Meh…
always missing stuff still alright
The rudest employees ever. Management is ridiculous.
The customers are followed around the store like we’re criminals. I’am not a thief,have never stolen anything in my life. The employees are very rude,very unprofessional,and Always standing talking to someone while there is a line of 5 or more paying customers waiting to check out. There is one employee that especially thinks they own the store,and is a know it all!! Very rude when asked where a item can be locked in the store,their response is “can’t you read”? I will never step foot in this place,I’d rather pay the higher prices at Albertsons,or Riteaid. Very uncomfortable business. Maybe look into training your employees,or hire new employees who actually care about their customers. I wouldn’t be surprised if this business closes due to losing customers. Not to mention there is always boxes sitting around have to step over them,and box cutters sitting out where kids can grab them.
My 9 year old daughter found a box cutter an employee had left down on a shelf

Fast food was hot and tasty. Enjoyed my meal in a clean place.
Good ol food
Full
Good food
Typical McDonald’s nothing bad nothing good about it, simple and familiar food.
It’s McDonald’s
Always open up your burgers cause the last time.i eat mc Donald’s I found a fly on my burger
Terrible. That’s all I have to say. The lady that was taking our order completely stopped taking the order. Then a man like 2 minutes later continued to take the order. Once we got the food it was cold we couldn’t even eat it for fear of cross contamination. Will never be going again. Hopefully that lady does her job and if not she should be fired she was rude and didn’t even do her job.
Worst service, food is ok but people working there don’t care about service.

10. Taft College Bookstore
Address: 29 Cougar Ct, Taft, CA 93268 , Taft , California , United States
Great customer service. Took care of my needs. The bookstore manager was very helpful.
Great college
Friendly people inside everytime I’ve been!
first week of school, super busy. But other than that, its ok.
The clerks have a high turnover rate, so if you want something rare, like gift certificates, then be ready to be a training exercise. Some products are much more affordable then you’d think for a college bookstore, though!
Very helpful.
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
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.
11. Oasis Bar and Grill
Address: 414 North St, Taft, CA 93268 , Taft , California , United States
Haven’t been there in a very long time. The food is even better than I remember.
Le migliori bistecche che abbia mangiato dopo 1 settimana in california… ho espresso il mio problema di intolleranze e mi hanno servito quello che desideravo senza problemi… un mangiato da dio… chiedendo anche il bis.. devo solo ringraziarli
It is a great place to go for karaoke night and I have family that work there. Great Bartenders. Good people have the place. I would go there again.
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.
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.
Good food a little rough
Are they open? Or reopened, I’m new to the area.
Stopped in on 6-3-23 to try the breakfast. Walked into a dark dining room. Julie, in a less than welcoming tone, said she would turn the lights on. After about 15 minutes of sitting in the dark, she finally turned on the lights but did not take our order. She is very unfriendly and unprofessional. My friend and I went to the Cafe on Center st and we’re greeted in a very friendly manner. If Julie is the best you can do, good luck staying in business. I will not be back.

Address: 426 Center St, Taft, CA 93268 , Taft , California , United States
Great food, come here often. Be prepared to wait during high traffic times.
The RHC safety dept. Is always there hands down the best sandwich shop! Amazing customer service as well!
Great place to grab a quick bite, today I had the California cobb. It was delicious and fresh.
This is an excellent spot when you crave a good sandwich. The location had a relaxed ambiance. Great lunch spot.
Fair for a sandwich shop. Like the shredded lettuce and oil they use. Need to add macaroni salad and maybe up grade salads nothing to special.
Very good sandwich but a little pricey 4 months later you’re still the same
Long wait food was just ok
Food was terrible !! But customer service amazing, their outside patio still had penuts to grab by the hand full
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.
