Firestone Grill in Bakersfield is a standout dining spot that nails a perfect blend of quality and efficiency with its conveyor-style service. The limited yet high-quality grilled meats are cooked to perfection, and the full bar offers an impressive selection of beers, making it a great pairing for any meal. I loved the self-service approach with attentive staff quietly clearing away dishes, keeping the table tidy without interrupting your experience. The design is charming, with the bar and order counter thoughtfully separated, creating a great flow. Plus, the big screen TVs make it the ideal spot to hang out with friends and catch your favorite game. Highly recommended for any occasion!

Firestone Grill is a must-visit for anyone craving delicious, hearty food in a lively atmosphere. A friend and I stopped by recently, and we couldn’t have been more satisfied. We started with their juicy, tender meat paired with perfectly cooked vegetables—it was bursting with flavor and absolutely mouthwatering. We also tried their signature burgers, and they were incredible. The patties were thick and succulent, the buns were fresh, and the toppings added just the right balance of textures and tastes. The portions were generous, and the service was quick and friendly.

Firestone Grill, a place of smoked meats and hearty fare, called to me. Among its offerings, I chose the tri-tip sandwich, enhanced with lettuce, tomato, jack cheese, and fried jalapeños. Each bite was a perfect balance—tender meat, crisp toppings, and just the right heat. The onion rings were golden and crisp, the fries expertly prepared. Yet, a disturbance in the Force—only Lipton fountain tea, where fresh-brewed options would bring true harmony. A small flaw in an otherwise masterful experience. Strong in flavor and quality, Firestone Grill is. Return, I shall.

I love the food. I think the burger here bits In & Out, Thr spicy chicken wings are out of this world. The salads and the dressing are amazing. I like the full service option but i wish there was someone by the door to tell you of the two options they have because we sat for long without being served until i approached a server and he said we are seated in the wrong side.

We went there because of the good reviews and they turned out to be true. Food was delicous, well seasoned, generous portions. Prices were completely ok. Definetly worth visiting. You can order by yourself or with service.

Had to come back and try the food again as it had been several years since I last visited and was not disappointed. I got the tri tip sandwich which was so moist and tender and meat literally melted when I took a bite and those ranch beans. Had not tried them before and was disappointed that I only got 1 order as they were by far the best beans I have had in awhile. I wish I would have ordered at least 1 more of them but at least this will be my excuse to go back out to get more of them. They were so delicious and meaty. I also ordered the tri tip Cobb salad which was great and filling. Place is really cool and great place to hang out with family and friends to watch the game and eat great food. Would definitely recommend to everyone to drop by

Firestone Grill is the ancillary restaurant to Dog House Grill in Fresno. Conveniently located at 99 and California Avenue, it is an easy in and out for a relaxing lunch or to grab an adult beverage and watch the many large screen TV’s. A sports bar atmosphere coupled with great food, will put you in a relaxing mood for the rest of the day. A very large centered bar with ample large screens beckons those who are by themselves and wish to eat and refresh while catching the latest game of whatever sport they like. For those patrons that came to satisfy their hunger, well be prepared for some great grub with ample portion sizes. You have to place your food order at the counter using large menu screens or peruse the menu at your table scanning the QR code with your phone. Once you have decided on what will please your appetite, you then proceed to the counter to place your order. You are given a pick up number on your receopt when your food is ready. I have eaten at both of these restaurants and the food is consistently good. I would highly recommend either of these places to relax, eat great food, watch sports, people watch and just have a fun time. You will not be disappointed.
