Not a bad steakhouse, everything served à la cart aka family style. Sides were ok, steaks good but I would recommend getting a topper or sauce as they suggest. The casino allows smoking but the restaurant does not.

Went for dinner on Friday night it was our first time visiting Deep Cut at the Hard Rock Casino. The overall ambiance is cool and perfect for date night and I was told they have live music on the weekends. The overall service was good and staff was friendly and provided recommendations. I do think where this place fell short was the food...the crab cocktail was just very bland and the red dipping sauce tasted like ketchup and Clamato it was genuinely just gross I do think the mustard seed dipping sauce was a better option. The fried shrimp was good over all, as far as our main entrees the roasted chicken and sea bass lacked salt and overall odd dish for the sea bass...I was looking for something refreshing and light for dinner and it wasn't that and the cooked carrots were dry and chalky with excessive seasoning and the mash potatoes were decent overall. The crème brûlée was for dessert and it was pretty tasty! Was a little let down by the food so I would say a nice cocktail and enjoy the ambiance before hitting the slots.

After waiting a couple of months, I couldn't wait any longer. We finally made the trek to the new Hard Rock Casino and I was hangry! We walked around the place, checking all of the offered restaurants and decided to give Deep Cut a try. The place has a very fancy, top tier vibe to it, making my jeans seem inappropriate but I never felt like I didn't belong. We were seated in the very back, directly across from the stage and were informed that in half an hour a live all girl band would be performing. Great! I love live music with my dinner. After perusing the menu, I decided to try the Seared Sea Bass, the Fried Brussels Sprouts, and the Classic Caesar salad while the hubs went with the Bone in Pork chop and the Whipped Potatoes. We also ordered a bottle of the Juggernaut Hillside red wine and were offered a free side of Seasoned Fries with 3 dipping sauces (1. Black garlic 2. Horseradish Remoulade 3. Garlic aioli). Everything was delicious! The bed of tomato heaven that the sea bass was laid upon was absolutely amazing! The Caesar salad was the best I've ever had and since the hubs kept pillaging in it, he agreed. He said his pork chop was awesome and he enjoyed the whipped potatoes as well. Once the music started it was too loud to speak to the servers but the band was good. All-in-all this place was great. I will definitely go back with a full appetite and hopefully there will be another band.

We celebrated my dad's birthday at Deep Cut Steakhouse. Our overall visit was spectacular. Kisha was our waitress and she made the whole vibe. She provided amazing service and has the infectious energy. Dad and I shared the bone-in ribeye (24 oz), sister ordered the file mignon and brother in law ordered the pork chop. We started with two appetizers. 1. Chicken and Caviar: 10/10 chicken nuggets were all breast meat and fried to perfection. Chicken was crispy and piping hot. 2. Thick Cut Bacon: 7/10. Served with a guajillo Demi with sliced red grapes and fennel. It was good but because the menu says "bacon" I was expecting bacon and not pork belly. I had a very small piece only bc I find pork belly to be too fatty. I wouldn't order this again and would definitely try something else. If pork belly is your thing, then you'll love this dish. Sides: 1. Whipped Potatoes with a Basque Butter 10/10. Seasoned perfectly and served hot. Really creamy. 2. Mac and Cheese 10/10, served with smoked bacon and an herb crumble. Again, it's not bacon but chopped pork belly. Nonetheless, I would order again. Pasta was very creamy and not dried out. 3. Roasted Carrots 9/10. This reminded me of Christmas dinner carrots. A sprinkling of cardamom or something similar. Carrots were for tender and served hot. Overall, all side dishes were delicious and highly recommend Entree: 1. Bone-in Ribeye (24 oz) 10/10, Cooked medium rare (as ordered) and definitely enough for 3-4 people. It was deeply charred with a nice caramelized crust and a juicy, tender medium-rare center. I highly recommend the bone-in ribeye 2. Filet Mignon (8oz) 10/10, deeply browned, caramelized crust and extremely buttery, juicy interior. If you are looking for a steak with less fat ribbons than a ribeye, the filet mignon is the way to go. Two people could probably share this (if you've had appetizers) 3. Pork chop (16 oz) 10/10, it had a nice dark caramelized crust with a tender, juicy interior that was just slightly pink. This is enough for 2 people. Dessert: NY Style Cheesecake 10/10, served with a Chantilly cream and berry compote. Definitely order this!! Birthday surprise: a chocolate cake with a candle. Cocktail: 1. Old Fashioned 10/10, made with Angel's Envy bourbon 2. French 75, 8/10, it was ok would not order again. It was refreshing but the lemon juice made it a bit tart for my liking. 3. Cranberry and Tito's pretty standard Overall, service was impeccable, food was fresh and everything complemented each other. The ambiance was intimate. A really personal touch was a birthday card from the Hard Rock with a nice message from Kisha. I have one small complaint, our complementary French fries took a really long time. We were actually served our appetizers and finished them and still no fries. Our waitress did apologize several times. We eventually received the fries and they were amazing!!

I was invited by a friend to join them at the steakhouse for dinner. Of course we accepted. We had reservations which I suggest you do because with evening entertainment, it gets busy. The service is really good.We enjoyed the hostess.And the table service was great. This is our second time making a reservation and going to dinner here. So there's definitely a learning curve since this place is new. So far the choices of food from the skirt stake to the shrimp cocktail to the sides, which are served family style have been really good. Prices are elevated but are manageable. The restaurants matradee is really kind and accommodating. It's nice having dinner and be able to hear some good music. I think my main complaint out of the two times that we have attended here for dinner was letting the staff know that there is a food allergy? They need to be much more careful in serving something that someone is allergic to on the plate. They're fixed for the air is just to bring you an empty plate.So you can move the food over. For me, I think that is not the appropriate way.They should make sure that the staff once they've been notified that when they put your order in, they make sure to tell the cooks or whoever is preparing your plate to make sure to eliminate the foods you're allergic to, because this can be very deadly. But so far it's been to the point where it's been avoidable, and we are able to control by what we order. But if you haven't been here, and if you have the extra cash to indulge in a nice dinner, I do recommend it.

Deep Cut - A Welcome Revelation in the Bakersfield Dining Scene By someone who understands that steak, like life, is all about execution There's a moment, walking into Deep Cut on a packed Saturday night inside the Hard Rock Casino, when you realize this isn't merely another casino restaurant. The room hums with energy--open, airy, elegant without pretense--and yet what truly defines the space is the hospitality. Service here feels choreographed but warm, attentive but never overbearing. Keilei, our server, brought a level of care that would stand out in any major city. Danniele, the bus girl, moved with precision and grace that elevated the entire evening. You simply won't find service like this anywhere else in Bakersfield. But of course, the point of coming to a steakhouse is the steak. My wife chose the filet, cooked perfectly to medium, tender and balanced--exactly what a filet should be. I went for the skirt steak, which is a statement in itself. Putting skirt steak on a menu is the kitchen telling you they know steak. It's the hardest cut to execute well, demanding technique and timing. Deep Cut delivers a very good version--solid, satisfying, elevated with a bright, confident chimichurri. Not unforgettable, but a steak cooked with intention. Appetizers shined. The crispy shrimp--six large, sweet, beautifully battered shrimp--were some of the best I've had anywhere. If they can replicate that quality nightly, it's destined to be a signature dish. Salads were equally thoughtful. My wife's Caesar was crisp and classic. My chopped salad, though, was something truly special: candied walnuts, dried cranberries, blue cheese, and a vinaigrette that tied the entire bowl into a quiet little symphony. And then, a clever twist: complimentary fries instead of bread. Warm, crisp, unexpected--and honestly, delightful. Prices are fair. Not cheap, but reflective of the elevated service and flavors you simply can't find anywhere else in Bakersfield. If you're looking for a special evening--one that feels intentional, polished, and genuinely memorable--Deep Cut is a must-visit.

I went to this for friends and family day. And I have to say that the whole casino is beautiful. This restaurant is amazing. Everything went well. There's steaks and seafood on the menu. I ordered the fish and my boyfriend ordered the steak. Everything was perfect. They gave us some complementary french fries to start up with and let me just tell you they are my new favorite french fries! They came with three different dipping sauces. The barbecue was the best sauce. My second favorite was the wasabi sauce. The third one I don't remember. I got a daiquiri. I guess I assumed it would be an ice blended one, but this one tasted really good anyway. The mac & cheese is to die for and we had a crème brûlée to finish it off. I think this was the best crème brûlée I ever had. I could see myself in the future, coming out here to gamble and leaving with a large fry and dessert.

We decided to try the steakhouse for our weekly date night and we are so happy that we did. We had an amazing view of the stage where they have a band 4 days out of the week. We had an amazing waiter that thoroughly went over the menu with us and was a pleasure to speak to. I believe his name was Jordan. Filet minon, Caesar salad, bacon mac and cheese were delicious. We definitely plan on visiting again.

Amazing food! The service was absolutely amazing! The atmosphere was very inviting and classy. The steak could easily feed three people. The sides were big portions as well. Definitely recommend this place! I would go again just for their Cesar salad.

Kisha our waitress really sent our experience to the moon. She was personal, professional, great with suggestions for all drinks and food. She guided us on food servings and a great margarita for myself. She made us feel very welcomed and made sure all of our needs were filled in a timely manner without being to pushy to get us out the door for the next reservation. I ordered the seabass and my husband ordered the prime rib. For sides we ordered 1 order of the whipped potatoes which fed both of us with some left over. His steak was a little to charred for a $70 steak. My sea bass was cooked very well with a bed of roasted like veggies. The ambiance of the room really filled out night perfectly with what we were looking for with a steak dinner. Kisha also filled us in on the historical pieces of musical instruments and artists clothing which we also enjoyed. I'd honestly come back just to vist our waitress. We did arrive a little early so we had to awkwardly stand there at the entrance and wait roughly 8-9 minutes before being seated. The 2 women who checked us in were professional and prompt with check in. To confirm my reservation though-thru a phone cal.... now that's another story. Took 2 phone calls 5 different transfers and unorganization made me want to cancel my reservation.

If i could give them 0 stars i would. Even if my serve Abby was AMAZING, the back of the house needs alot of work. We waited over 1.5 hours for our food. We received our food and the steak was extremely salty. We were missing our sides. The manager comped our drinks but unfortunately it was a bummer because we were here to celebrate a birthday. Our expectation was higher and we were extremely disappointed. The music was super loud, we couldn't even have a conversation with the person next to us.

Highly recommend dinner here! The service was so attentive & kind our server was Joesph he recommended the wine which went well with both the dinner and dessert. Within a couple of minutes sitting down we were greated with ice water and complementary fries (new school version of giving bread for the table) My husband had a blast using his new phone to take photos of our food If you can tell lol. The Brussel sprouts came out perfectly crispy yet melted in your mouth, the Mac & cheese was fire and the steak was super juicy. The dessert also recommended by Joe was a 20/10 the cheesecake is the best we've ever had the seasonal berries on it were blackberry,raspberry and blueberry & from New York I believe. Gotta check this place out! From one server to another great job, made our day memorable‍
