We placed our order for pick up and by the time we got there about 15 minutes later the food was hot and ready to go! The tri-tip sandwich was delicious filled with thick juicy slices with minimal fat on the meat which I greatly appreciated. Next were their dry rub baked wings, the flavor has a bit of kick like a buffalo wing minus the mess, but all the flavor! Hands down one of favorite despite not being a wing person myself. The salads were refreshing we did one southwest and one Cesar both of which can easily be spilt in half and be more than filling! read more

Firestone Grill - Southwest Salad, chicken wings, and Tri-Tip Sandwich - Barbeque Near Me - Bakersfield, California

My first time at Firestone and I gotta say this place is spacious, the employees at the register were very helpful and professional. I really enjoy my ribs they were tender and in my opinion they didn't need the sauce. I enjoyed how spacious the place is and the giants fan they have keep the place cool during this hot weather. Was just passing by for a dinner meal, and I was very happy. If I could give one recommendation maybe smoke those ribs a bit more to be a bit more tender. Definitely will be back for that tri tip. read more

This place is loud. So much sports, TVs, and memorabilia. Also, lots of people. It was my first time and I came during the lunch rush so loudness and fast operations are the hallmark of a good, bustling lunch spot I suppose. My salad was delicious. The ranch here is legit, fyi. I would come back for the food as every plate that I laid eyes on looked appetizing. read more

On a Sunday morning in late May, my family and I was in Bakersfield to eat bbq. At 11am, several families were waiting to eat here too. We lined up to order tri tip sandwich and shared on large basket fries. Lots of tables and tvs in the restaurant with a bar in the center. By 11:30, more families came to eat. We wait for our number being called. The kitchen is open so you could see the staff cook. The brisket was tender and the fries were hot. The sauces and take out containers was at the counter too. Nice atmosphere of people watching. read more

We come here often for their happy hour wings and beer, but first time coming outside of happy hour. We tried their pull pork sandwich and cheese burger. The burger was good - nothing super unique but perfectly seasoned. The pork sandwich had good portion but was a bit dry - so do take their offer they ask if you want extra bbq sauce. The salad is always good here! read more

This is one of our favorite spots in Bakersfield. With a simple menu with variety makes it perfect for each member of the family. The food comes out quick, hot and packed with flavor. My favorite is the ABC burger and the basket of fries. Delicious and consistent every time! read more

The 7 pork ribs is such a bang for your buck. There's so much meat on the bone, I would make two meals out of one. I'd say it's better than most BBQ places I've tried (in California). And the garlic bread is probably one of the best garlic breads I've had at a restaurant. They infuse it with garlic oil or something! It's just so satisfyingly garlic, but not overwhelmingly so. However, the scene stealer here for me is definitely the beans. It's more like a chili soup mixed with beans and meat, but super savory and sweet at the same time. The only drawback was a very bad interaction with one of the cashiers after asking to switch one of the orders placed. She was unnecessarily rude and made it seem like it was a huge inconvenience for us to change something in our own order. It's unfortunate because the first two times we were there we had no issues. Overall, food is great value and quality, so definitely give it a try! read more

Firestone Grill - 7 Pork Rib Meal - Barbeque Near Me - Bakersfield, California

If you like burgers try their avocado burger it's so yummy! I love this place the place itself is such a fun vibe! Definitely a good spot to have some drinks and to watch a sports game! read more

A Bakersfield favorite for a reason. The food is surprisingly affordable for the quality and quantity you receive. The tri tip sandwich has been my go to for years and love it every time. I tried "the pig" sandwich on my last visit and greatly enjoyed it. Coleslaw on the sandwich is a must. I'll be bouncing around their menu a bit more from here on out. You place an order when you walk in, seat yourself, and grab your food when it's ready. They're always super fast with their service, which makes snagging a to-go order during a tight meal window super doable. There is plenty of seating inside and televisions galore, making it a great place to catch a game. read more

Been here on several occasions, it's a great place for a tri-tip brisket BBQ sandwich and fries. And the pork ribs are to die for with their own sweet BBQ sauce. Fries are good but I come for the protein! . Nice bar and plenty of TV screens. Parking can be tough but if you circle once or twice you'll get a spot. Service quick quick at the counter and they call your number in no time. All utensils are selve serve and the kitchen is crackin! Great to watch them prep the food while you enjoy a nice cold beer! Awe, life is good! read more

Firestone grill is a halfway point on our travel adventure between Las Vegas and the bay area. It's also conveniently located on a freeway exit. It's a matchup that just can't get much better. I also feel safe parking a car here and not getting it broken into. Even so, I bring my backpack with my work laptops inside. The menu has my kids happy, there's a good variety for the adults. Not really into drinking on a road trip, but as bars go, looks like a great place to watch the game with your crew! The service is prompt, order at the counter and find a seat. It's nothing special, just a well orderd eatery with something for everyone. Except maybe vegan and vegetarian folks, you'll get by, but this spots heard towards carnivores. read more

Firestone is a household favorite! I love coming here to meet friends for yummy food and some drinks. They play pretty much all of the aired sporting events on all the TVs so it does get pretty loud. If we go with a large party we sit where we have a waitress. They are usually pretty busy but food is quick here and it's convenient if you're going to have an open bar tab. My favorite meal is their tri tip sandwich with a side of jalapeños. The portions here are large enough to share! The small salad is a large at most places and the sandwiches are stacked high with generous portion of meat. The basket of fries and onion rings comes in a large salad bowl and is definitely enough for 4-5 people to share. I love getting shooters here as my drink option. I highly recommend coming here. read more

Walking in it's a sports bar lots of TVs, a few low tables mostly high top tables. It's super loud and crowded so the food must be good. You order at the counter, fill your own beverages get plastic utensils and napkins. They call your number to pick up your food. We got the last available table. They have a constant line going out the door. The food comes out freshly made and fast. Tri tip $16.99 piled high with juicy tender meat ABC Burger , avocado bacon jack cheese w/ all the veggies was yummy. Juicy burger and had a lot of avocado and veggies . Just passing through town. We would stop here again food was great. Tons of fries $3.69 their bbq sauce is really good for dipping. Drinks were a great price only $2.69. They have a full bar in the middle of the restaurant. The cashier was enjoying her job greeted us with a big smile. She helped us decide on ordering and even said that the side of fries was plenty for 2 people the basket was huge. Well the side of fries was way too big for the 2 of us. Clean, fresh tasty food. read more

This place came recommended as a good bbq spot. I stopped by and shared the Tri tip sandwich and small fries. It was a solid affordable meal of delicious bbq. the small fries is more than enough to share. I didn't try the bar but seems like they might have decent drinks. Food came out quick! Good service. It's a sports bar spot so they had a good amount of tvs, perfect for playoff season! read more

It's been a few years since I've came back to Firestone, I believe since they opened. I'm a little sad I hadn't because I was pleasantly surprised! I knew they had large portions of food, but previously we'd always come in for the tritip sandwich and beers. I've become way more health conscious and ordered a side salad and some spicy wings this time around. Portions are still large, but WOW were those wings super good! I haven't stopped thinking bout them since. Their ordering systems is very well organized and quick. Lunch rush hour is always crazy packed, but we never seem to struggle and find a table. read more

I ordered the Tri-Tip Sandwich for lunch and the meat was extremely tender. The barbecue sauce was perfectly sweet and the casual vibe made for a great meal. read more

It was good, the meat didn't fall off the bone I had to fight with that rib and it almost knocked me out

This was our second time here we came for dinner this time. We sat in the section where they wait on you. The food was absolutely delicious. My grandson ordered the seven rib plate which comes with beans and I ordered the tritip cobb salad. We also ordered a basket of fries. We had lots of leftovers. The salad was delicious and fresh. I ordered the small salad and it was huge. Lots of televisions all with the games on. Fun place to go. It gets busy because the food is so good. This service was great also! read more

Picture this: a chill Sunday afternoon, gridiron action on the big screens, and a crew of friends ready for some serious eats and drinks. That's the scene at Firestone Grill. The beer was cold, the energy was high, and then came the food. I'm talking about the tri-tip sandwich, people. Tender, juicy, and piled high, it's a carnivore's dream come true. And those fries? Crispy, golden perfection served in a basket of pure happiness. But the real MVP (for me) is the Sriracha ranch - a flavor explosion that'll have you begging for more. If I Could, I would have drank the stuff. Don't forget, the staff was super friendly and made sure we had everything we needed, adding to the awesome atmosphere. Drench that sandwich in the extra BBQ sauce they offer, and you've reached peak Firestone. If you're looking for a place to watch the game, grab some beers, and crush some seriously good food with top-notch service, this is it. Firestone Grill is a touchdown! read more

This place is cheap and clean and has good food and service. It is a big sports bar/restaurant. Could use a sign when you walk in saying seat yourself on right side of bar if you want a waitress to come to your table, and if you want to sit on the left, go up to the counter and order then pick your table. The baskets of fries are huge. One basket only is needed for 4 people. And you can do half and half with onion rings and fries. read more

I was in Bakersfield, which is a rare occurrence, and I stopped by to eat at this place. I love a good barbecue, but I had low expectations for this one. I guess because it's a sports bar restaurant, and it's in Bakersfield. I got the shock of my life. It turned out, this was the best barbecue food I ever had. Not only that, but it's very affordable. I would say a bargain. I didn't have to spend 100+ dollars for 2 persons, like a lot of so called high quality barbecue restaurants. The briskets and ribs were amazing. Delicious, flavorful, and melts in your mouth. Sides were also delicious. The service was good too. You just go up and get your order. It took a little time, but the staff is helpful and friendly. I'll be back here again, the next time I'm in Bakersfield. Maybe I'll visit the Buck Owen's museum. Bakersfield is truly the Texas of California, although I've only been to El Paso, Texas. read more

Food great, fast service, we are regulars now. Best tri tip and pulled pork in town. Service is really fast and comfortable seating

PROS: - Tri-Tip Sandwiches. Nuff said. - IF you enjoyed the SLO location, this is the EXACT same food and ambiance. Except the area is slightly ghetto. - The French fries are shoe string and crispy. - The onion rings are to die for. - The salad is GINORMOUS and tasty. CONS: - The only thing I can think of is the parking is hit or miss, although the parking lot is huge, since this place is so popular, it can get tough to find parking. read more

We went last night and had the jalapeño burgers and fries our usual pick, though we sometimes mix it up with a sammy and onion rings.

Pretty unique spot, has many TVs for people that like to watch sports (including a bar). It is self seating and was fairly busy the weekend we had it. It seems their specialty is barbecue , but we opted for an avocado bacon cheeseburger & a double cheeseburger , the portions for one order of fries were definitely enough for two . The bread & the burger itself not only looked really good but was delicious !! The fries perfectly salted & a nice crisp texture on the outside . Definitely excited to come back! Might just be the Best burgers in Bakersfield ! read more

Firestone Grill always fulfills my salad craving. The restaurant is always very busy but goes very fast. The restaurant is always full but tables are always available. There are several TVs around the restaurant and the bar area with sports playing. The service is great and the staff are friendly. My daughters and I went to grab a salad before a movie. I ordered the Cobb salad with chicken. The small salad was a decent size and was served with Lettuce, Red Onion, Red Bell Pepper, Tomato, Bleu Cheese & Bacon. I asked for no onions and the bleu cheese on the side. Staff was very accommodating and my order was correct when it arrived. All of the salad items were fresh and crisp. My daughters order the Cobb with Tri tip and the Southwestern salad and both were pleased with the size and taste. Firestone Grill is always a good food choice and a reasonable price. The only thing that is a negative is the parking situation. It's always hard to find a good spot. read more
