Salty's BBQ & Catering

This place is awesome! Great atmosphere, great food, and ran by a great family!
Definitely recommend!

I've been coming to Salty's for more than 4 years.. my last visit was horrible. The brisket was dried and super burnt. Sad to say, this would be my last time coming to Salty's.

Everything was good but the patato salad. Absolutely horrible. They need to rethink the recipe on thos one.

Everything was good except for the ribs. They were a little dry. I ordered a tri-tip and rib meal. The coleslaw was good. Service was fast and the experience was good. I recommend this place.

I live in Utah now and every time I come to Bakersfield I always have to get a pulled pork sandwich from Salty’s. Hands down best barbecue west of the

The Mac n' cheese 🧀 had watered down cheese on spiral noodles 🤦. Sauce was spicy but that's all it was. Meats had little to no smoke flavor. Little disappointed 😥

For as much praise as this place gets, I don't think I've ever had such average BBQ before. There isn't anything positive other than it didn't give me food poisoning.

The tri-tip was bland and somehow soggy, the chili beans tasted like someone added chili powder to pinto beans, and the potato salad... My god the potato salad... Why is it a MASHED potato salad..?

I'd probably look elsewhere for BBQ, because if you're gonna pay $20 a person, you may as well enjoy it.

We were driving home to Long Beach and were told TO BE SURE to stop at Salty's. It was so worth it! Dynamite BBQ meat and outstanding jalapeño mac and cheese! People super nice too.

Long time patron, first time disappointed, can no longer recommend.
After spending multiple thousands on the same meal over several visits, throughout the last six years, and singing the praise of Salty's to dozens of friends and family, this last visit will be the last to the Roseville highway location. Jury is still out on revisiting the white lane location?
The atmosphere was pleasant, people were friendly and service seemed good, even with the odd smirks coming from some of the salty's crew as I picked up my food and drove off of the lot.
I placed an order to go (1/2# tri-tip, 4 beef ribs and spicy mac) as I was traveling through Bakersfield. The two additional beef ribs is an upcharge and left a good tip (on average I tip the hard-working crews upwards of 33%. this visit I tipped just above 20%, everything I had on hand).
When I was able to pull over and share the meal, my disappointment was realized. Even though I paid extra for 4 ribs, I received the equivalent of 2.5 ribs with respect to meat on the bone. Two of the ribs looked to have been leftover from another's plate or the remains of another's quick snack. (See images).
I attempted to follow up with Salty's by phone and email, before making this post, but the information is limited or not available. There's no email contact and the phone number contacted is controlled by a computer. A computer that can only text restaurant locations. This limited contact may be an indication of a known problem... (Staff with bad attitudes leading to poor quality service?)
Don't know for sure but it's still an unfortunate shame.
Having said all that mess, it is my opinion not to eat the food provided as it could possibly be tainted. Never underestimate the mess (the harm) that can come from folks that do not respect themselves and others.
Thanks for the good service and excellent food in all those past visits. However, based on this recent visit, I cannot foresee any future visits and will not know if the quality of food was just as good.

The quality is absolutely horrible. I do not know how they are comfortable serving burned chicken. 0 stars, I will not be returning.
