🔥 MY TOP 5 BBQ SPOTS IN BAKERSFIELD 🔥 Bakersfield has a BBQ scene that deserves WAY more respect, so I had to put together my Top 5 BBQ spots in the city — plus a few underrated spots you should definitely have on your radar. 👀🍖 🏆 MY TOP 5 🥇 1. Tradewinds BBQ One of my favorite local BBQ spots. Their smoked meats bring BIG flavor, and they’re one of those spots you need to catch before they sell out. 📍 10614 Rosedale Hwy, Bakersfield, CA 🥈 2. Primo’s Smoked BBQ Low & slow smoked BBQ with a serious lineup of tri-tip, burnt ends and hot links. This is a pop-up that consistently brings the smoke. 🔥 📍 Country club liquor and Rio bravo country club 🥉 3. Prime Time BBQ & Butcher Shop A Bakersfield BBQ staple with everything from tri-tip and ribs to brisket, pulled pork and their famous butcher shop selection. 📍 1927 20th St, Bakersfield, CA 🔥 4. Bakersfield Barbecue Company Formerly Pork Chop & Bubba’s, this spot has built a reputation for solid BBQ and some seriously good specials. Definitely one to have on your list. 📍 700 21st St, Bakersfield, CA 🔥 5. Salty’s BBQ & Catering A Bakersfield classic for a reason. Oak-grilled tri-tip, chicken, brisket, pulled pork and more .... plus they’ve even been featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. 📍 9425 Rosedale Hwy OR 6801 White Ln, Bakersfield, CA 👀 MY UNDERRATED PICKS 🔥 Blue Fire BBQ Small operation, big smoke. If you’re looking for a hidden BBQ option that deserves more attention, keep this one on your radar. 🔥 Block Party Grill Bold flavors, big portions and a mix of BBQ, tacos, wings and burgers. Another local spot that deserves some love. 🇵🇷 Sabor Taino Smokehouse BBQ Puerto Rican cuisine meets fire & smoke BBQ. Their sliders, nachos, BBQ and creative combinations make this one of my favorite underrated picks. 📍 3101 Taft Hwy, Bakersfield, CA 💭 And remember — this is MY list. Everybody’s BBQ preferences are different, so if your favorite didn’t make the Top 5… DROP IT IN THE COMMENTS. 👇🏽 Who got robbed? 😂 Who needs to move up?
