When Bakersfield’s winter chill really sets in this month, there’s nothing like the smoky, home-style warmth of Harris BBQ to chase it away. A proud new addition to the Seven Oaks neighborhood, located right here in The Shoppes at Seven Oaks Business Park, Harris BBQ brings decades of ranching legacy and their backyard-pit hospitality right to your neighborhood. 

 

What started as a small family cotton farm in 1937 evolved over generations into an iconic California ranch – and eventually into a roadside BBQ stop, a resort restaurant, and now, a full-fledged craft-BBQ house, here in Bakersfield. 

 

But what really counts? The food. Think thick, juicy ribs glazed in their own signature Harris house-made sauce; brisket slow-smoked until it’s falling-off-the-bone tender; wood-smoked tri-tip with that deep, savory bark; plus, smoky chicken, pulled pork, and all the hearty fixings. Every cut is prepared low and slow over real wood – the kind of cooking you can actually smell from the sidewalk. 

 

Whether you’re grabbing a feast to-go or bringing friends and family to the restaurant, January is the perfect time for your own “at-home tailgating” during the NFL playoffs this month. Hosting? Harris BBQ offers easy catering and family-style packages so you can feed a crowd without the work. So, why not treat the crew to BBQ that hits harder than a kickoff return – without ever leaving Seven Oaks?

 

This month, step into Harris BBQ. Warm up. Dig in. And make every game-day – or weekday dinner – a smoky, satisfying event.
