Honestly some of the best ribs I've ever had in my life. It fell off the bone perfectly and completely melted in my mouth. Absolutely incredible! The sides were good too- the fried okra and hush puppies were delicious and fresh! I would DEFINITELY visit again!! 10/10

Ribs were fallin’ off the bones, the tater totes with the stank sauce were unreal, and the tri tip was unparalleled. I even loved their Mac and cheese, which I usually end up throwing away another bbq places. This place does everything right! Amazing sauces too!

A very popular neighborhood BBQ shop as they offer delicious BBQ items. Tried the 4 meat platter which is huge for even two people. The Saturday afternoon I came was out of stock for chicken and pork ribs. I tried the Pulled pork and the pit beef which are tender. The Briskets and Tri-tip are juicy in taste. The two sides are Mac N Cheese and Cold Slaw. I suppose Cold Slaw is good while Mac N Cheese is too heavy as there would be much cheese at the base. They offer 4 different kinds of dipping sauce , the mustard one and the BBQ one both worth a try. The staff are friendly here. By the way, they have many cute decorations of pigs all over the store, like paintings and small statues.

First time eating here, the entrance was kinda hidden but all good.. great breakfast and lunch menu. Orders the pulled pork sandwich. Nice, with a side mac . Buns were nice, pork was nicely cooked nit dry, coleslaw was good. And Mac and cheese was good too. Price is decent. They have an outdoor eating area while the inside is a Lil crowded but no big deal.. food was made fast and served.. would recommend and hope to visit again if I pass by Bakersfield..

Order up front and they bring your food out to you. Picnic table set up outside, dog friendly. No beer or wine, just sodas and food. Food was great. I pretty much got all the sides that had no meat and I was full and happy. Everyone else seemed pleased with their meat options. Sauces were tasty. Would for sure come back again

This is my go to BBQ place in Bakersfield. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. The new location is amazing and I love the rustic western style. Now to the food . The half chicken is my favorite. I don’t know how they do it but the breast is so tender and juicy never a dry piece. The mac n cheese is creamy salty and sweet all around. The bbq beans are sweet with lots of spices and loads of meat. The brisket is so so soft like butter just the way I remember Texas BBQ. I love this place and recommend it to everyone!!!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

Amazing food. I got the hot links, tri tip, and brisket. You do NOT need a knife. The meats were so tender and flavorful. This is probably the best BBQ place in Bakersfield... Kern County, even! They do meats right here!
