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. Customers praise the delicious brisket and homemade mac and cheese. They also mention the food runs out quickly, so visiting early is recommended. The portions are generous, and the overall vibe is one of a great local spot with good people and amazing food.
Reviewers note the restaurant has a cute, beautifully-designed atmosphere with enjoyable outdoor seating. Although seating is limited, the outside area with misters, fans, and a swamp cooler makes for a comfortable experience even on hot days. The outdoor patio offers shade and good ventilation. The staff is described as exceedingly friendly and providing some of the best service in Bakersfield. With options that kids will love, Prime Time offers a great overall dining experience, including a fantastic meat counter and a lunch menu. Many customers have bought holiday meat entrees from them for years. The restaurant's neighborhood vibe and friendly service make it a favorite for many.
