Visit our Original Coalinga Location for Delicious BBQ
After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to permanently close our Harris BBQ Bakersfield location, effective July 5, 2026.
This decision was not made lightly, and we are incredibly grateful to our dedicated team members whose hard work, passion, and commitment have been the heart of Harris BBQ. We also want to extend our sincere thanks to the Bakersfield community for your support, encouragement, and the memories we've shared over the years.
While our Bakersfield restaurant will be closing, we invite you to continue enjoying the same slow-smoked barbecue and warm hospitality at our original Harris BBQ location at the Harris Ranch Resort in Coalinga. Click the button to learn more about our Coalinga location at the Harris Ranch Resort.

As we prepare to close the doors of our Bakersfield Harris BBQ location, we want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has supported us over the past two years. From the very beginning, our goal was simple — to serve authentic barbecue with genuine hospitality while becoming a part of the Bakersfield and Kern County community. Your support, encouragement, and loyalty made that possible, and for that, we are truly thankful.
To our incredible team members, thank you. Your hard work, dedication, and commitment to serving our guests each day helped build something we are proud of. You represented Harris BBQ with professionalism, kindness, and pride, and we are deeply grateful for each of you.
We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to Bolthouse Properties for believing in our vision and supporting our efforts to bring Harris BBQ to the neighborhood. We are thankful for the partnership and the opportunity they provided.
While this chapter in Bakersfield is coming to a close, Harris BBQ is not going away. We are excited to continue serving our signature barbecue at our Coalinga location. We invite you to visit us there, where you'll continue to find the same great barbecue, warm hospitality, and commitment to quality that you've come to expect.
On behalf of the entire Harris Ranch company and everyone at Harris BBQ, thank you for welcoming us into your community. We have been honored to serve you, and we hope to see many of you again in Coalinga.
With sincere appreciation,
Darren Filkins
