Came to try Harris BBQ inside of Sully's and place was nice and staff friendly but waited awhile to get my food even though place wasn't busy. Came home and they forgot my beans which I had ordered extra. We got the Tri tip sandwich, brisket sandwich and pulled pork sandwich. For sides for fries potato salad and mac n cheese. Is also went back the next day to get the beans they missed and ordered a sausage. The meat was tender but was just alright. The sides were pretty basic and not flavorful. The sausage was tasty and juicy but the casing was too touch and had to literally tear it apart with my hands and teeth. Probably won't try them again read more

We dropped by here to get food to go for lunch on our way to LA. We got the pulled pork sandwich, beef tip sandwich, pull pork taco salad, and Tri-tip beef salad. Everything was delicious. A great place for BBQ and there is also a Tesla charging station here too. Restroom are spacious and a perfect break for lunch and bathroom if you need to charge your Tesla vehicle. read more

Sadly, the quality is a hit and miss. I've been to this location 3 times now. The third was not the charm. The fries were ridiculously overcooked. When we took them back we were told the fries were all as is. Apparently they serve overcooked fries everyday?Needless to say the customer service wasn't great either. To substitute the burned fries we were given garlic bread... the picture I've added says it all. And let's not forget the DRY Brisket and pulled pork. Overall a POOR experience. Easter lunch was a major fail! read more

An unplanned lunch outing with my hubby and daughter turned into a new favorite spot! None of us have eaten here, but we're fans of Harris Ranch beef. First bite into the tri-tip... yummm! It was so tender and moist, not fatty but melted in your mouth. Then a bite of cheddar mashed potatoes, delish! The mac & cheese was creamy and flavorful. We also had delish pulled pork and the potato salad had a great bite and packed with seasoning. The three of us walked away with leftovers, full and happy. Dan took our order (not sure if he's the GM or owner) which included a ton of questions by me lol- he literally had the patience of a saint! His personal service, including checking on how we were doing twice (he made his rounds with every table) as well as a handshake and a goodbye. PS Went back with a friend the following week. I had the pulled pork baked potato with everything on it ! She had the tri-tip salad and ate every bite. She planning on picking up dinner to go to feed her family, that how much she enjoyed it! read more

Went to pick up Smiths Cookies at Sully's gas station and was excited to see that this location had the Harris BBQ location! My husband ordered the tri tip sandwich with the Mac and Cheese as the side and I ordered the Beef Tips Fries. The fries were VERY decadent and the beef tips were soft and complimented the fries well! I love the take on "carne asada fries" yet mixing it up with bbq meats! The green onion was a great topping as I love green onion. I just seen that baked potatoes are an option and definitely want to come back for that! My husband's tri tip was delicious! Perfect smoked flavor and very soft! The original BBQ sauce was a very nice compliment for the sandwich. Customer service was amazing! The young man at the counter was patient and very kind! Can't wait to come back and try other menu items! Thank you. read more

Harris BBQ - Beef-Tip Fries - Barbeque Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Decided to try for the first time and was pretty excited to come in...Was a bit worried as it has a high number of negative and mediocre reviews, but eventually decided maybe others were just wrong. I've always thought in my mind that if the ribs are good at a BBQ place, everything else will be pretty good too, so that's where I started. I also ordered brisket and tri tip and a slew of sides. Sadly the ribs were almost too salty to eat. I think if I'd have stayed at the location, to eat, I'd have asked for my money back. I was able to eat 1 almost 2 ribs before finally throwing it away. After sadly dumping the ribs in trash, moved onto the brisket and tri tip. Both were acceptable, but sadly just ok. Brisket was tender, but somehow pretty dry, not even a smoke ring was noted. Tri tip was flavored good, but also dry. All the meats seemed like they just weren't very fresh. I think Saturday might not be the best day to get your BBQ on.... Sides were ok, but sadly did not stand out. I've only been to a few BBQ places where the sides were as important as the meats to the staff. Sad when the fries are better than the rest! I've been to most every other BBQ place in Bako area and they're just not on a level that would warrant return. Red House BBQ in Tehachapi seems to be the only one in the area, producing fresh BBQ that is worth the drive. Meats are prepared EVERYDAY and seem fresh every time I've been there. Meats are tender, juicy and NEVER had a bad meal!!! Some would even say the sides are better than the meats and the meats are AMAZING! The brisket, could compete with the best in Texas or Kansas and maybe even win! If I could send every BBQ owner to Red House for a BBQ class I would suggest it! I hate....HATE writing negative reviews, but sadly everything was either too salty or dry and definitely not at a high enough level to attract others. Staff were super nice and quick to fill the order and building was clean and not sticky like many other similar restaurants. I wish the food was better, so sorry to say I won't be back. It looks like the owner personally responds to every comment, which is amazing, saying he listens to his customers to make changes that will better the business, but after that meal, I don't think that's ACTUALLY a priority as others have said exactly how I felt while I was eating the food. Sadly there wasn't a single other person in the business eating...That usually speaks for itself. I hope it improves, because I think in a short time, this business will also go away unless the food becomes a priority...Try Red House and see what you can improve! Good Luck! read more

Harris BBQ - SOOOO Dry!!! - Barbeque Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Brother found this location off reading reviews. We didn't expect it to be inside the gas station. This little barbecue place is a small chain off of the main Harris barbecue / Harris ranch. There's several of us so we all tried different items. The tri-tip sandwiches were delicious. The beans were good. The potato salad tasted kind of like the ones you get at the grocery store. I felt that the ribs that I got could've had some more flavor, but they were okay. The beef tips kind of seemed more like a beef and gravy type consistency and mac & cheese was good. The white cheddar mashed potatoes were good so overall we all enjoyed our meal definitely wouldn't mind Stopping by if in that area but not drive completely out of our way to go there either. Workers behind the counter had great customer service were kind of polite told them it was our first time being there so they helped us out with suggestions. While dining there noticed that they seem to have a lot of regular customers showing up and placing orders as the knew certain customers by name. read more

Great stop when in the area! Grab a plate of bbq made with famous Harris Ranch. Brisket needed a little more bark, but the beef tip and sides were very tasty. Grab some rub and sauce while you are there! #spicemeister approved! read more

I will say I enjoyed the tri tip and sides. The ribs were not bad but they were extremely salty. I came to look at the reviews and came across a similar one that also reviewed how salty the ribs were. It could have been a bad batch so I'll give it another try as everything else was pretty good. read more

Sadly, this BBQ did not impress. We tried twice, but both visits were disappointing. The tri-tip sandwich was okay. Decent meat, but nothing exceptional. I didn't like the sauce I got with it, but that's my personal taste, I don't like overly sweet sauce. I'm glad I got it on the side. Our second trip, I tried the Beef Tip Fries. The topping was good (beef tips, cheese sauce, sour cream, scallions) but the fries were offensively salty. I ate the topping and had to throw the rest away. My husband tried the brisket and cheddar sandwich, but they forgot the cheddar, then the brisket meal. He was nonplussed by both. The mac and cheese tasted more like mac than cheese. The beans had an odd flavor we couldn't place, but they were good. I really wanted to recommend this place since it's in my neighborhood, but I don't. We have some very good local BBQ joints in town, and this one doesn't measure up. read more

Well... I've had worse. On the grave site of what once was Pork Chop n' bubba's that was located on the side of a gas station named Sully's, is where Harris BBQ is now located. As I approach the place a feeling of looming doom and disappointment come into my mind. As a barbecue connoisseur and lover of smoked meats, very few here in Bakersfield and in the state of California have risen to the challenge to meet my pallate. As I walked up to the counter, I was greeted by a friendly young man He was very attentive and did his job well as he took my order. I ordered the two meat plate of tri-tip and chicken and with a side of the brown sugar baby back ribs. The two sides were my usual of potato salad and coleslaw. As many people know at the time its summer in the southern San Joaquin Valley and it was freaking hot. There was limited inside seating. So I went out to the sparse patio and the heat to consume my meal. My first impressions of looking into the bag that contain my meal that was handed me, was how small all the portions were. I know meat and production prices are high right now but damn ....throw a little more on the plate, why don't ya? First I tried the chicken, It was not dry but had a overall peppery rub on it that gave it a little bit of a spicy kick. It was okay but not my favorite. Next the tri-tip. It was medium rare and tender with a good smoker ring around it. It wasn't that bad. I dipped it into the barbecue sauce that came with it. The sauce is flavor was not bad kind of like a Kraft or generic barbecue sauce. It reminded me of a Kansas City style. Next was the three baby back ribs that they tossed in for me to try. I wasn't too impressed. It tasted like a honey-baked ham on some bones. No smoke ring..... nothing.... just ham flavored. As for the sides quite generic. It tasted like a Cysco potato salad that came in a box that one buys in a large quantity bulk. The coleslaw was a little dry and lacking a lot of the dressing. In conclusion, it was good but not great. Will I return..... Maybe. I just hope that things get better and not stay mediocre. read more

We love Harris Ranch and visit often up north so we were excited to see they were opening a BBQ place here in town. My husband and I both got the brisket and cheddar sandwiches along with an order of pulled pork fries and two drinks. The bill was under $60 and the food was great. The portion sizes were generous and customer service was good. The workers were friendly and even through they were really busy, they got us our food fast. The ambiance was fine considering it was in a gas station. We have really nothing to complain about. If you want some quick and delicious food, come here. read more

Overall this place was worth the try but we won't be coming back often. I ordered the chicken wrap and the order was wrong. I still ate it the chicken was decent. It would have been better as the wrap I ordered. The Mac and cheese was very bland. I don't know how to describe it but almost as if there was flour in it. The tri tip sandwich was okay, it definitely needed sauce on it and there was not a lot of meat for the price. read more

Visited Harris BBQ and, unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience. We love Harris Ranch and were hoping to love this place too, but it didn't measure up. The BBQ was dry, the mac and cheese tasted bland and generic and the potato salad tasted like it came out of a box from Smart & Final. Considering the high prices (spent over $60 for everything in the photo), I expected much better quality. Overall, it was not worth the cost, and I wouldn't recommend it. Super bummed read more

I heard the advertisement on the radio and thought I'd take a client there. We both got sandwiches, tri-tip & chicken, and we weren't impressed. The service was great. But the sandwich lacked the potential hype. Maybe I'll give them a second chance for dinner. But I'd rather bbq at home. read more

Harris BBQ - Half of my tri tip sandwich - Barbeque Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Was super excited to try this place out since it's affiliated with Harris ranch but it didn't come close to what I had at Harris ranch. At practically $28 per a lb of meat, I expected amazing but it was average at best. I got 4 oz of chicken, beef brisket, and tri tip. Everything was really bland unless you dipped it in the bbq sauce which made it taste better but nothing special. The highlight of my visit was the service but I usually prefer average service with amazing food than amazing service with average food. So many better options here in town and I don't see a reason to come back in the near future. Service-5 Taste-2 Value-2 Ambiance-n/a read more

Harris BBQ - Beef Tips potato with extra green onions/sour cream - Barbeque Near Me - Bakersfield, California

The first time I heard about Harris Ranch was over 50 years ago. The supermarket where I worked advertised they sold Harris Ranch meat. The manager explained to me the high quality of beef Harris Ranch produced. It's a lesson I never forgot. Decades later I find myself standing in line at Harris Ranch BBQ. They have a wide variety of meats and sandwiches. I chose the brisket and cheddar sandwich. I had the barbecue sauce on the side. The sandwich looked impressive with a good amount of sliced brisket. And the brisket was quite tender. But the meat seemed to lack seasoning and smoke. Dipping the sandwich in the bold barbecue sauce made a huge difference. The service was outstanding and pretty quick for a barbecue stop. I think next time I'll order the pulled pork or tri-tip. I'm looking forward to my next visit. read more

Great food and service, kids love the outdoor seating and inviting atmosphere!!! Will make this a stop anytime I'm near.

Amazing BBQ and the prices are not bad! Loved it call, brisket sandwich, pulled pork sandwich, ribs, tri-tip, and those cheddar mashed potatoes are to die for ! The Mac and cheese is creamy and rich , the coke slaw is light and perfect to add to my sandwich- the jalapeño cornbread was nice - not to mention that the long line was not so bad because you can shop for a drink or snack while you wait. Can't wait to go back and try their restaurant inside the country store! read more

So third trip to Harris BBQ since they mentioned changes have been made. Unfortunately, we could not tell that there were ANY improvements. Brisket was dry, chicken overcooked, and mac & cheese was lacking flavor. I will say the tips (shredded deep pit) was good except needed way more sauce but they felt the need to charge me extra!! Staffing has not improved- sorry if you're 'not feeling it' then you shouldn't be on the register. Sorry for $20 an hour, teenagers need to realize they are overpaid and should be grateful to be working. I had high hopes for improved changes and Harris BBQ fell short. I still can not recommend this place to our hotel guests. Also, stock pre-written responses shows a lack of confidence and hospitality read more
