Prime Time BBQ, Butcher Shop, and Catering is a hidden gem in Bakersfield offering real, smoky barbecue. Run by the friendly owner, this place provides a personal touch that sets it apart. The ribs are described as absolute perfection - fall-off-the-bone, smoky, and perfectly balanced between sweet and savory. The tri-tip is juicy with classic Central Valley flavor, while the brisket is tender with the right amount of bark.
Reviewers note the restaurant has a cute, beautifully-designed atmosphere with enjoyable outdoor seating. The mac and cheese is called out as one of the best, and the staff is described as exceedingly friendly and providing some of the best service in Bakersfield. With options that kids will love, Prime Time seems to offer a great overall dining experience.
Customers praise the delicious brisket and homemade mac and cheese. They also mention the food runs out quickly, so it's best to visit early. The portions are generous, and the overall vibe is one of a great local spot with good people and amazing food.
