“BEWARE” pick up order at 3:30pm & ate at 7:40pm. Had a staple inside beans. Been a customer in the past and had a great experience, but this is unbelievable . Open up beans and had a staple inside of it. I’m glad it was floating at the top for me to notice. If my family member ate it we would have had problems!!!!! I don’t want a refund nor a new plate. We will never return to this place!!!! The owner please review cameras of your employees and please make sure they are no longer there employed.

We have been wanting to try Harris restaurant ever since they opened. We went to Harris Ranch for a wedding years ago and the food was absolutely amazing. Unfortunately I can’t say the same for this Buena Vista location. The restaurant itself is nice and clean. The service was great, and the people were friendly. We ordered the ribs and they were mostly fat and barley eaten because they were so bad. Waste of money in my opinion. The pulled pork sandwich was pretty good and so was the tri-tip sandwich. I seriously don’t recommend the garlic bread- it was a soggy slice of bread with little to no taste. To be honest the Brisket and coleslaw stole the show. If you want better ribs go to chili’s or for the best ribs go to Hungry hunter and you will pay less for a much superior rack of ribs that fall off the bone. I have had better Tri-tip locally and at much better prices. This was just my families experience here, so please try them out for yourself. I doubt we will go back as it is just not worth the money.

1st time trying. Heard how good the location on I-5 was and couldn’t wait to try. Service was friendly and polite. Offered variety of sauces and asked if loaded was ok for the pulled pork fries that I ordered. I appreciated the question. The fries arrived quickly and I had my order home within 10 minutes. When I opened the package the food was Luke warm and the amount of pork was enough to fill a slider. The cheese, I assumed was from a can. And the amount of green onions overpowered not only the smell of the dish, but the taste. First bite lacked flavor all the way through. The sauce that was added took some of the blandness from the dish, but was too thin and one container is not enough to cover the dish that needed more. Compare that to the size of the dish and my $13.85, which included a tip, it was far from worth it. I truly wished it was better.

This was our first time eating here. We got a couple of plates so we could sample the meats and sides. We really liked everything we ate! The meat was very juicy and flavorful by itself. And the sides were really good, also. Lots of good flavors blended together well. They have three different flavors of barbecue sauce: original, spicy, sweet. All very good! The tables are beautiful. They are wood covered in epoxy so you can see the wood really well! Everything is very clean! Staff is very friendly. We are looking forward to going back and trying a sandwich or a loaded baked potato!

Brisket is a dry and falls apart
Corn bread is also really dry!
But still ok if just stopping to eat something on a long drive

Just want to mention I grew up in LA and most of the BBQ I ate was from Compton or LA area. I haven’t found any BBQ here in Bakersfield that is similar.
I ordered the 2 meat combo, tri tip, and kids hotdog. Hotdog was good, surprised the bread wasn’t soggy, it was nice and toasted. At first it felt like it was a little food but it’s actually quite a lot with the sides. The ribs have been the best I’ve had here in Bakersfield, not dry or salty. The chicken was so moist and flavorful. Those two I would definitely order again. The sides were potato salad(husband gave it 4.5/5), beans (4/5, would have given them a 5, they were good just too spicy for me, wish they would add it to the description), and Mac and cheese (4.5, they were more creamy than cheesy and not too salty, I do prefer the Porkchop and Bubbas Mac, and this was still pretty good). Overall really good and did not think it’s over priced at all. Will be coming back for sure.

Well, the flavor of the TriTip is **monumentally** ordinary. (Go to Salty’s if you want good Tri-Tip.) The sauces are vinegar or honey, as the original sauce is heavy in vinegar and the sweet sauce has so much honey in it, it tastes like you are pouring honey on it. I’m sure the beef is high quality, but seriously **dry**. It was $25 per person with drink and no tip as the employee rushed past the tip screen (I’m guessing she feels bad about the value?). If it was $15 per person with drink, I would consider it a solid option, but there are SO many other options in town for Tri-Tip, like Salty’s or any outdoor parking lot bbq at a random Fastrip in the county. Service was quick and friendly, the ambience is fine if not a tad minimal for a Harris establishment. I don’t see this place lasting very long as there is hardly anyone ever here. Really hoped it would have been better as it is close to home.

Overall a good place for some quick bbq. The food was ready quick, i would have liked for the meat in the sandwich to be more hot and juicier. The Brisket was a bit tuff for brisket. I believe they should have gave more bbq sauce considering how dry the sandwich was. Great selection on the soft drinks, definitely way more than other bbq places.

My son got the California chicken sandwich and fries. Looked a little burnt but seemed fine and fries were good. I got the Santa Maria trip sandwich with spicy sauce in the side and the white cheese potatoes with gravy. The tritip sandwich was okay, spicy sauce only slightly spicy. Would be nice to have it “deluxe” with maybe tomatoes, Mayo and shredded lettuce(I know that’s not the norm). I don’t think they make any of the sides but the mashed potatoes were good. Parking and entrance was confusing and the ringing bell Everytime the back door opens is so annoying.
