Fred’s Barbecue Factory

Food tasted good it was just to cold. You think it would be warm sense the grill is running outside before u walk in. The sides were good.

Best chicken sandwich ever. Needed fork didn’t notice there was none so threw out the coleslaw. I’ll be back. And remember to get a fork. Yummy food.

Gosh we come here at least 3 times a week it seems like. My husband works right around the corner so it’s a very convenient lunch spot. The food is so delicious and the owner is always walking around making sure everything is in order. The customer service is great! They don’t take forever to get the food out too which is really good if you are on a tight lunch break. The tri tip and the brisket sandwich are both absolutely to die for!!!

Awesome BBQ!!! We eat Fred’s just about once a week and love it. The sandwiches, salads and boats are my favorites. Haven’t had anything I didn’t love including all of the sides.

Fred’s has great BBQ meat has great flavor and consistency they’re bbq sauce is incredible, the staff is always friendly and greets you as you walk in or out. It would have been 5stars however it’s a bit pricy for the amount of food you get. The sandwiches used to be a lot bigger but lately have been getting smaller and smaller. I paid $ 18 for a 7″ sandwich side of beans large soda and small bag of chips. With these prices, they’re are other places you can go (down the street) to get great bbq

Fred’s is a solid place to go for BBQ, and now Thurs– Sat they serve up tacos outside starting at 7:00. The tacos are as good as I have had in Bakersfield. BBQ is very good too. The food is served up by very nice people. Highly recommended. Would be 5 stars, but the young taco makers are stingy with the meat. Better when Pepe or Julio are making them!

Food was really good we had baby backs, St Louis ribs, beans, coleslaw, cheesy potatoes, and rolls we literally enjoyed everything there BBQ sauce is really good too! Me and my family left happy!

Drove by and spotted the barbecue sign, checked on Unilocal and decided to try it. We were not sorry at all… it was delicious!!! We had the baby back ribs, chili, and carrot cake. We have decided that this will be our meal stop when going through Bakersfield from now on! Friendly staff, restrooms were very clean (that matters to me), and the meal portions were very generous! We shared the lunch and walked away stuffed beyond! Eat at Fred’s…you won’t regret it!!!

One word describes Fred’s BBQ… AMAZING!!!
I’m from Fresno CA and I’m staying here for the week. I was checking Unilocal for near by places to eat and I noticed this place. I had the ribs and hot link combo. The BBQ sauce with the amazing flavor and texture of the ribs just left my mouth watering! It’s a must try!
Good job Fred

Staff is very attentive. The aroma of the dip pit in the parking lot pulls you in. Otherwise $ 19 for combo and drink. Through most of it away. Too dry.

Forget all the other bbq joints in bakes… Fred s bbq is hands down #1! We had the assorted tray… all is great. wish they’d come to the west side of town is my only gripe!!!

Omg! My tri-​tip sandwich was to die for. It was so tender and the sides were just incredible. Cole slaw and potato salad were yummy. If ever I feel the need to get fat, this here is where I would come to make it happen. Thank you God for allowing me to taste the wonderful flavors of this place.

They don’t have a signature taste, it’s always different from good to bad. They need to make sure they’re only serving the best because a few times I have felt like I was chewing rubber.

Been coming here for awhile. Every time the BBQ bug bites, this is where I go for the cure! Hands down best dang BBQ in Bakersfield. Great food and atmosphere. The staff is friendly. The great thing is they cater as well, can’t go wrong with some BBQ for a gathering.

The Best BBQ in town! I love everything, tri tip cooked perfectly with a nice pink center, chili beans have the right flavor, chicken and pulled pork awesome. Can’t go wrong no matter what you order.
My favorite is definitely the tri tip salad.

First off let me thank the Unilocalers that lead us to this place. Nice find! We weren’t sure we wanted BBQ until we pulled up, the scent from the pit out front confirmed our choice. It’s a nice simple place with a nice variety of ice tea (I appreciated that). It’s a good place for groups, there are several tables that sated 5 to 6 people depending on how much elbow room you needed.
We ordered tri-​tip sandwiches, a two way plate, a manager’s special which was basically a sample plate for two. I do a lot of grilling and BBq’in during the summer, I can say the meat was very well seasoned and tender. We really liked the Basque sausage. It had great flavor and little spice to it. The service was pleasant and they served the food in a timely manner.

BEST BBQ IN BAKERSFIELD, HANDS DOWN!!!
I came here on a whim, because they were on Restaurant Runner’s «order online» site. Man, I don’t know why I didn’t know about this place before– but I’m kind of glad since it wasn’t too full!
Their BBQ is amazing– especially their St. Louis ribs and pulled pork. The sides are pretty good too! (The chili beans are my favorite) the absolute best thing, though, is the barbecue sauce! YUM!
In the end, what really makes this place stand out is how reasonable their prices are in comparison to the quality of the food. If you look at my review history, there’s another BBQ place in town that gets more fanfare– this place blows them out of the water through quality AND price!
Thank you Fred’s, you’ve got a loyal customer for life.

A friend of mine had recommended me to go here and try the food.
So I did.
I literally just had the best pull pork ever!
The food was so good and so fresh!
I’m definitely going to come back here again!

Fred’s has delicious BBQ and now they are serving street tacos after 7pm Thursday-​Saturday!
They are so good. The best in Bakersfield.
I always come here now when I want street tacos! Local taco joints need to watch out
Fred’s BBQ factory, 5 stars!

According to the friendly folks here, Fred’s Barbecue Factory has been here for 7 years. I’ve driven by this strip mall a few times every week during that time. Have always missed this place. It’s hidden behind Hooter’s on Rosedale Hwy.
After conducting business at the T-​Mobile store, we spotted them. We were not very hungry, but it appeared that they were cooking outside the restaurant. Turns out they were cooking 3 different kinds of meat for their street size tacos. If I remember correctly, they only sell these tacos on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings beginning at 7pm. Costs $ 1.50 each and our worth every penny!
We bought one of each taco. Cheek, Carne Asada, and Al Pastor. The meats were placed on handmade tortillas which they made right there. There was a table set up with various condiments for the tacos. You place the condiments onto the tacos yourself.
Each of the meats were delicious. We both agreed that the Cheek meat was our favorite! Not often that we see that offered at a restaurant. The cheek was so soft, tender, and just surprisingly delectable! After finishing our food inside the restaurant, we decided to buy some for the next day. Have to say that the tacos tasted almost as good the following day as leftovers!
I look forward to returning here on future visits. There is a lot more on their menu that I want to try! Hopefully, everything else will be as happily satisfying as those yummy tacos!
