A friend invited me to go with him. I found out that I had never heard of the restaurant and I did enjoy it. It is twice I've gone and had a great time. They have an amazing 😍 dish with 1/2 a rack of ribs.

We've come here several times and the food and service are always good. Started off the night with the free garlic bread. Then the Firecracker Shrimp. It was delicious. A little spicy but not so hot everyone didn't enjoy it. A very light breading and perfectly seasoned and a surprisingly large serving. I didn't count but there must have been over a dozen shrimp. Then we had some of the best clam chowder ever, and I've had it all along the California coast and Boston. Rich, creamy, and tasty. Finally, the main course. By now I'm already getting full. I had the Grilled Halibut with mashed potatoes and white gravy. The potatoes were good, maybe a little above average, but the halibut was wonderful. Lightly seasoned, no sauce, so the full flavor of the fish shone through. My dad had the order of two pork chops which was way more than he could eat. Great steakhouse, highly recommend. Casual atmosphere, very Western, and you're going at spend some money.

Pleasantly surprised after all these years. Food was great, especially the ranch dressing with my potato skins. Service was awesome too. Thank you Alex for all the info. The place could use some TLC and NO reason for the bathrooms to be filthy even if you have graffiti problems. ( that adds to the vibe) We will be back for dinner to try the steaks.

I’m not sure how this place is still open they had slow service, my margarita had like no liquor in it, it took about 45 mi Utes for appetizers, and the food was not good the best part of this place was the shrimp appetizer which was actually so good, and the waitress was very sweet but the steak was not good the ribs not good the halibut was dry and the chicken was dry I will not be coming back to this establishment which I had never heard of and went for work but would never go spend $50 pp of my own money, agin the waitress was very nice and I appreciated the company we had and the shrimp that was about it 🙂

The Restaurant was Clean & Welcoming..! We had a LARGE Birthday crowd and the Service was TOP Notch..! The Appetizers were Shrimp & Jalapeños and I've had Chicken & Jalapeños at other restaurants but the Shrimp was a HIT..! When we were ready, The Hostess gave us the Best Options & Recommendations, then they took our Orders quickly.. and they even had a "VEGAN MENU" For my Vegan Daughter.. which was EXCELLENT..! Everybody's Food looked Delicious..! They had our Bills Separated with the Gratuity Included so it was an EASY Completion to an Amazing Dinner Party..! The ONLY thing I can Recommend is a BIG BRIGHT SIGN Outside to make this Treasure Stand out..!

Great place for BBQ. very impressed. better than any other BBQ in Visalia. I admit it is expensive but the atmosphere is unique and biiiig portions. free garlic sticks. meal comes with a small salad and main dish. I couldn't finish half my plate from the portions but great for left overs. if you want to try a little of everything pick the mixed grill. 10/10. only bad thing I can say was the wait time for a seating but it's worth it. went here for Valentine's day as a suprise and very happy with my date dinner.
