“ Some of the best BBQ we’ve had while traveling. It has a really cool atmosphere where you’re in a train. ”
“ I visit Salty’s often — it’s just down the street and always hits the spot, especially on Fridays for some reason! I recently ordered two chicken dinners, and I’m glad I did — the chicken was juicy, flavorful, and my kiddos absolutely loved it. Always fresh, fast, and satisfying. A solid go-to for BBQ! ”
“ As seen on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives... There are cool places with humble beginnings and then there's Salty's BBQ! Went here on a business lunch with two locals and my boss. Three Salty Specials, A Salty's chicken salad, orders of spicy beans and spicy macaroni and cheese rounded out our meals. The food here is phenomenal! Service was friendly and efficient, and the owner took the time for some laughs and pictures! What a fun, tasty way to have lunch! This is a must stop while in Bakersfield! Stop by and be ready to be amazed! ”
“ This place is absolutely amazing I love going here with my friend who lives in Bakersfield I drive all the way from almost 300 miles away just too eat here. It's that good I absolutely love the brisket sandwich. ”
“ What a great place for BBQ. Lovely servers and the owner is really nice. The patio area is fun. Everything is great, except for the potato salad. Needs salt and mustard. ”
“ Smelled great pulling up!! A little bit of a long but great service made it go pretty quick. The pulled pork and chicken was really good! Chilli beans and coleslaw but the spot, the chili beans had a bit of kick, coleslaw was just plain real good. Both my ribs were perfect, had a good smoke ring and had that good pull to get it off bone... The seasoning on the beef ribs was super delicious! The brisket tasted great and was a bit dry but we were there early evening. One bad thing was only one kind of sauce,no variety but it was really good... If you're into sauce I'm not, great BBQ doesn't need it, but that's my wife's input about sauces. ”
“ Great BBQ experience! This place is legit! They have the BBQ Grill cooking up some amazing Chicken and Ribs on an open flame outside as you walk up! They have outdoor dining with mister’s to keep you cool as well as indoor dining in an awesome Dinning Car style restaurant. The menu has an amazing lineup of all your favorite BBQ combinations. Great people and amazing food! The drive through was also hopping and had a steady flow of local traffic! Highly recommended! E ”
