I've
been
to
Firestone
Grill
in
Bakersfield
a
few
times.
If
I
lived
in
or
near
Bakersfield,
I'd
be
here
all
the
time.
But
when
my
travels
take
me
through
Bakersfield
at
lunch
time,
Firestone
Grill
is
high
on
my
priority
list.
The
restaurant
offers
a
variety
of
things
to
eat:
burgers,
salads,
chicken,
hot
dogs....
I
haven't
tried
any
of
those.
What
keeps
me
coming
back
is
the
tri-tip
sandwich.
The
sandwich
consists
of
several
generous
slices
of
medium-cooked
tri-tip
stacked
inside
a
warm,
buttered
bun.
The
meat
is
juicy
and
flavorful
and
topped
with
just
the
right
amount
of
barbecue
sauce.
It
really
is
delicious!
For
my
most
recent
trip
to
Firestone
Grill
I
was
accompanied
by
my
two
adult
boys
who
also
ordered
tri-tip
sandwiches.
To
accompany
our
sandwiches
we
ordered
baskets
of
fries
and
onion
rings.
The
fries
are
a
shoestring
variety,
crispy,
and
seasoned.
The
onion
rings
are
breaded
and
provide
a
nice
crunch
and
the
onion
inside
is
sweet
and
flavorful.
Everything
we
ate
was
outstanding.
The
restaurant
has
a
lively
sports-bar
feel
with
flat
screen
TVs
scattered
throughout
the
building.
It's
a
bit
noisy,
but
not
so
noisy
that
you
can't
converse
with
others
at
your
table.
This
time
was
different
from
my
previous
visits
because
they
added
a
full-serve
section
as
well
as
a
counter-serve
section.
I'm
not
sure
why
they
thought
this
was
necessary,
but
then
again,
I'm
not
in
the
restaurant
business.
I
now
live
in
South
Carolina
and
visit
my
family
in
California
two
or
three
times
a
year.
But
when
I
come
back
to
the
golden
state,
Firestone
Grill
beckons
me
back
for
some
great
tri-tip.
