    Baked Brie

    100% w with the waiter. He was on our brainwaves. Btw, I did not do shrooms, lol. Tri tip salad was gas. The blue cheese was great, and I added an extra bit of blue cheese myself iykwim

    I had the pleasure of stopping by the renovated golf course this last Thursday and everything was excellent. The course was green and the food was above and beyond. Bartender Lisa was super helpful and her attention was on point. I loved how she told us how fresh everything was and handmade. She also told us about the desserts, which I'll come back to try another day. She explained how the owner is of Russian heritage and she hand makes all of them. I was speaking to Lisa about making a specific drink and she mentioned not having the ingredient and owner was nearby and gave her the green light to order. Excellent customer service. Would recommend to all and I'll be back for more food and dessert

    Mozzarella Sticks

    Come for the food, stay for the views! We came into Ard Farkle's on a Saturday afternoon. Most tables were filled, but there was no wait for lunch for two. They were serving both breakfast and lunch. Started with mozzarella sticks, which were great. ($8) The sauce that came with them didn't quite seem to be marinara, though. Maybe just crushed tomatoes? I got the Farkle Junior burger ($17) with a side salad. The salad was great! The "junior" was a perfect size. Still pretty big. It was a little too pink in the very center for my liking though, so I didn't finish. They didn't ask how I wanted it cooked, but I suppose I should've specified. The total came out to just under $50 for two farkle junior burgers, mozzarella sticks, and one fountain drink. After lunch, we got 2 Coors from the bar (happy hour is daily from 2-5. They were $4 each!) and took in the views of the hills outside.

    we had a really good experience at this restaurant we ate outside on the patio. The food was great hamburgers were delicious. Fries were crunchy. BLT was very good. We also got dessert. Cheesecake was so yummy. I highly recommend coming here in the service is really good. our waitress was very nice beautiful atmosphere. Please see pictures. Audrey was a really good waitress. Thank you so much for everything.

    Steak bites
    Vladyslav V.

    This place is my to go place out of the whole Sequoia area. If you are a fan of great, cooked to perfection steak bites - this is a place for you. The most amazing steak bites I've ever tried. Juicy, hot - perfect. Soup was a little sour but the mushy texture was great. Ok soup. Chicken wings were very usual. Nothing extraordinary. Service is normal. Many people are still in the process of discovering this business and it's not too busy just yet. Wait till summer and this place will be packed with golfers, diners and people who appreciate the sceneries. If you prefer Mountain View's to river ones - this is the best place. Take a seat on the patio and enjoy the sun, view and a golf course that's going to open very soon. You can also celebrate your wedding with the restaurant and book the most epic venue in your entire life. Gorgeous views of Sequoia Mountains in the back with two beautiful people getting together. Amazing idea. As for the golf course it seems quite affordable and fun to play as there will be different courses you can choose from. Haven't tried yet, but looks very promising with the amount of work that they are putting in.

    Really great food and a view of the golf course and hills. The cinnamon rolls are freshly made and delicious. Highly recommend

    Their original Burger!
    Christel H.

    Surprisingly the food came out perfectly on time and delicious. This is the spot honestly since nothing stays open too late and the service even at the bar was great. Cute spot, nothing too fancy but if you're looking for a good burger....this the spot.

    VIEWS OF THE MOUNTAINS AND GOLF COURSE

    Food was a 10! My wife and I shared a huge club sandwich and it was more than enough for both of us. We also ordered some of their happy hour finger foods -- deep fried shrimp, mozzarella sticks, and jalapeño poppers -- and they were absolutely amazing. We shared a Caesar salad which was fresh and tasty. The mountain views from the restaurant were incredible, which made the whole experience even better. Service was also a 10 -- very friendly and attentive. And to finish it off, we tried a Russian dessert they had... very, very good! Highly recommend this place.

    The only dessert option !

    April 2026 Easter Buffett I have never been so disappointed in my life ! They had a bunch for Easter ........ The cost was $45.00 per person !! We thought it would be Great! Hahahahahaha Sliced ham "dry" Chicken "so-so" Green Beans "" Country potatoes "under cooked " Mack& Cheese "just not good at all" And...... Cupcakes yes cupcakes!! Did I say $45.00 "omg" $45.00 I tried to talk to the manager and that was crazy........she just said "give me a minute" Two minutes later she returned with our bill... $120.00 No explanation no sorry just put the bill on the table and walked away!!! I have never been so disappointed in my life! I'll post the pictures and you decide !! We should have just left!,!

    To start, the view is absolutely stunning from the patio seating. The table next to ours kept cussing routinely, so I wish they had spaced us out (only 2 groups there at the time). The food tasted amazing! However, the portions were very small. The children's macaroni was the size of one cup...it came with nothing else and cost $9. Appetizer of steak bites was super delicious but barely served 1/2 people for $20. Again, the food was good but portions did not match price. The clientele and their foul mouths did not fit either. The kids burgers were excellent but $14 without a drink (did include fries). I highly recommend this place for a drink and during the week for the HH. The website said HH prices were daily but at the restaurant it was Monday-Thursday so plan ahead.

    Food was wonderful, service was friendly, and the view sitting on the outdoor patio made this a great experience. Definitely recommend stopping here.

    Newly remodeled. Great views. Service was friendly. The Canadian poutine was delicious. Can't wait to try their dinner menu.

    After a multi hour road trip, my friend and I Denise got here. It was the last intentional spot in…read moreour day. But there was something we had not considered, we were going to be going to a place that required us to be fresh and ready to receive the wonder of place by a lack and we only had the energy for an angry stop at a gas station. So this place I visited when I was tired and that kind of gunked up the experience. If I would have gone with more energy to fully open my eyes than this experience would have been wondrous. When I booked the reservation I did it because it was a place by a lake. I enjoy water front dining and I usually use an ocean for scenery and today I was in a place where I could use a large creek. And since I was not going with any specific expectations that lake hit me like a bucket of wow. I remember like seeing the mouth of the lake going down like actual rocks. Like I was seeing the waters that people raft on with commitment to the outdoors. It felt like I had traveled into a place where trees were purest, bird melodies were the only noise in town (besides the water running in the creek), and cabins belonged to those who called the mountains home. I was in a novel and for some reason I felt like it was written by Twain. And that is really what I can say about this place. That is mostly what I remember the beauty of the creek. I wanted to spend more time there, I could have walked it, they had like a lounge but I did not. But I do remember the forested view that went on, and the roaring, jagged leg being a central character other than that I have small things to say. I remember the salad being ok. Denise and I shared a dish, I can't remember why but we did not eat the whole thing. It was inherently bad. But this could have been an off night, or just not the dish of the place, and really you go here for the lake, and the food was great in some ways just not in this specific way. I went to this place a few weeks ago, and, if I had not make it clear I remember the experience of being with the lake. So go here for that experience and let the rest just fall into place.

    Quality of food is below mediocre or terrible. The kids…read morepizza was definitely at the cheap frozen food level. The salad was ok but tiny. The pasta didn't have much taste. I asked for a well-done burger and after a very long wait they brought an uncooked burger. I asked why it wasn't cooked and they brought a half cooked burger which I returned and finally cancelled my order. The waiter first refused to take responsibility for their mess up so I had to asked for the manager. The manager was impolite and finally with a grumpy and weird attitude took the item off the check. Won't go to this place until they change management.

It was busy during the lunch hour on a Sunday, so we got our name down on the clipboard waitlist. It was about a 20-30 min wait for a party of 6, with 6-7 smaller parties ahead of us. The food was good, and portions are very generous! I enjoyed the chicken fried steak over hash browns with eggs. Expect to take leftovers back if you're a small eater. Service was friendly and welcoming. What can improve: interior temp/AC - felt a bit hot/stuffy and couldn't tell if the AC was on inside, though it was better than the 100 degrees outside. Bathrooms aren't very clean. 4.5 but will round up!

The indoor seating place is well placed and doesn't feel too crowded. Being from out of town, been fortunate to have their breakfast and lunch. Breakfast: had the chicken fried steak, egg and hashbrown. Big portion enough to take some home. The breakfast was good but nothing flavorful to brag about but what you would expect for a good chicken fried steak. Cooked perfect. Lunch: had the fried burger and regular fries. The burger was a good size, seasoned well and cooked (medium) as requested. The fries were plain and i would recommend the curly fries. I also had the sampler plate. Onion rings: cut and cooked good. Fried pickles: tasted as they should. Cheese curds: batter well but needed and little longer to cook. The cheese had that laffy taffy stretch. Chicken wings: buffalo. The flavor and cook was tasteful but just too small. About the size of a fun size snicker. Overall: the service and food is still great. I recommend this place for sure. FYI, they do have pastries that looked good but I didn't get any.

Eventually we had to be asked to be moved in and thankfully we were. Funny part is that shortly after us, about 7-8 other tables from outside also moved in because of the bugs hahaha. Not a bad enough experience to hate the place IMO but should be taken better care of. Maybe a net around the dinning area could solve the issue idk

They pay attention to small details like that here. Mr. P enjoyed his burger, which came with fresh onions, tomato and lettuce on a specialty bun. The burger was smashed, yet very juicy. His fries were golden brown crisp and cut thick. He liked them a lot. This was easily the best diner breakfast I've had in a long while. Looking forward to stopping in again when I'm nearby in the future. I am full and happy.
