FRESH OUT THE CHICKEN'S BUTT EGGS (3.75 stars)…read more $12 for a dozen. This is NOT my go to farm for my fresh out the butt chicken eggs. But I've decided to try the eggs out because I didn't have time to drive north to get my fresh farm eggs and these people were conveniently at the neighborhood farmers market and thought their setup was catchier than vendor booths. Every time I buy fresh farm eggs I have to ask if they have been refrigerated and the vendor said "I don't think so" and felt the eggs. That immediately kind of made me question its true freshness. I like them not refrigerated yet - which allows eggs to be on counters for a few days without having to refrigerate but once refrigerate, must keep refrigerating. IF they already been refrigerated you have to keep them refrigerated. They say they have not but the sticker on the carton says "keep refrigerated" and said they have to put them on. I've had fresh farm eggs and I don't see stickers like that on their cartons. They say the eggs are "corn and soy free" meaning the chickens are free range and not fed corn or soy (I assume). At the time of purchase they just had brown eggs. This may sound weird but I like to smell the shell of the fresh farm eggs. I know what you're thinking "gross smells like chicken a55".... The ones I have bought do not but they have an inquiring smell but definitely different from store bought eggs. I would say $12 is pricy as I have had very good farm eggs for a few dollars cheaper. Some textures I've noticed as each farm eggs are to their own... - SIZE - bought large eggs and they were average large egg size - SHELL - brown and not as fragile as I've had but still fragile yet sturdy - YOLK - yellow, not too faint and not too yellow. I prefer my raw yolk to have little more richer yellow color - TASTE - at the moment, only had them boiled and they taste fresher than store bought for sure. I'm not in a rush to buy these eggs but I'm also not turning away from them either. Until the next dozen....

Decided to try something new and experience horseback riding. We booked online, chose the 1-hour…read moretrail ride, and enjoyed every minute of it. Once we arrived, the experience was seamless. We learned all the do's and don'ts, how to ride and guide the horse, and then we were off. The creek trail was a nice nature ride, super peaceful and relaxing. Our instructor made us feel comfortable every step of the way, and the horses behaved amazingly, making the whole experience enjoyable from start to finish. As it was my first time, I was definitely a little sore afterward, but the experience was so great that I'll absolutely do it again. Would recommend!

I wonder if management just went with the cheapest possible models and well, you get what you pay for. The machines are very sensitive so if you try to put the packing bags you brought onto loading area of the machine, the machine loses its mind and won't let you ring up anything and this stupid alert won't go away unless a human comes by to fix it. Every single time I come to this 99 Ranch, I am fighting with this stupid machine. So much for automation taking away jobs, cuz the woman working these self check out area was working overtime, the poor lady. I am deducting two stars here because this is sooo friggin' annoying. I like wanna pull out my hair when doing this self check out. But beyond that very annoying self check out experience, this Asian grocery which carries many Chinese & Taiwanese specialties is a go to favorite for me. I love their ready made items including all kinds of zhongzis (Taiwanese, Shanghainese, Cantonese, etc.), they carry all kinds of baos, all kinds of ready made Chinese dishes like pig ear, tripe, bamboo shoots, etc. (IYKYK). I spend a lot of time here cuz Im always looking at all the different things they carry especially hot and popular items. Today, I was in here for about 30 min just looking at all the different mooncakes on offer! There are rows and rows of mooncakes from Taiwan, Hong Kong, China , etc. for purchase! I was in mooncake heaven! Overall, I love this supermarket. You will find me coming back again and again. But dang it, can you please replace those not working self checkout machines please??!!

It is clear the entire team cares for the horses' well being. I travel often for my job and I don't have any concerns or hesitations that my horse isn't being taken care of while I'm gone. Tobey is very communicative and accommodating. A few months ago a larger stall opened up and it was an easy transition to the new stall. Since I've been boarding here, a few renovations and updates to the property have taken place, leaving the ranch one step closer to Tobey's vision for the space. I have spent the most time with Nyna between lessons, trail time and just running into her while at the barn. She is the life force of the ranch and keeps feedings, stall cleanings, lessons, farrier and vet appointments organized. She has spent a lot of time with my horse during lessons and turn out time. I can't see me or my horse boarding anywhere else. Thank you Olivewood Acres!

The waitress, without asking us, took the bread away. I preferred to take the bread home instead of throwing them away or put in for another customer. Another star off. Another star off for service. No one ever came to refill the water glasses or coffee. We had to constantly ask. We saw other tables got extra paper napkins without asking but we were not given the same treatment.

Caesar salad was crisp with a good dressing, felt refreshing. Food quality good but services need improvement.

You can tell this isn't just something she runs, it's something she pours her heart into. The next day, she hosted my group of friends and it was just as incredible. We all had the best time and made the sweetest memories with our babies. It was one of those experiences you wish you could bottle up and relive. We will absolutely be coming back again and again. Truly love, love, love this place.

I think this place has lost its luster I finally came to…read morecheck out breakfast what I stepped up to the counter, and there were three people working not one of them acknowledged me, or even looked at my direction. I sat there patiently, and the female employee came to the register to take my order after a while. I ordered my burrito... we had a choice of bacon or chorizo at the included price. Carne assda was three dollars extra or if I wanted all three meats it was five dollars extra. I probably should've not done this, but I paid for all three. I walked around while I waited. After seeing everything in the entire place, I took a seat near the Pick-up counter. While I was waiting there, the guy who was cooking was complaining about so many things. The one thing that really was upsetting is he said something along the lines of "people have to wait for their food anyways." this guy is angry and bitter, and does not like his job. The wait was oddly long I was tempted to ask them to cancel my order but I waited. The Third employee handing me my food with a smile in a box no bag no napkins no nothing. I guess those were self served, but would've been nice if he had said something because I got home and didn't have napkins or anything. The icing on the cake is paid for three meat definitely there's no bacon in here and I think I found one piece of Carne Asada so I paid five dollars extra basically for a chorizo burrito . There's hardly anything inside of it. I taste more tortilla than the inside. This was the most disappointing burrito. I think I've ever had in my life. I should've gone to the taco shop and gotten a much better burrito. Shame on you, Ranch 45. I don't have the energy to call you or go back and why waste my time and money coming back to complain. Our last visit also took a ridiculous amount of time for one pastrami sandwich. I was waiting in the car while my husband went in. Sad to say I doubt I'll be back here ever again. Step up your Customer Service step up the execution of your beef. Stellar quality meat is not enough. You need to execute and have staff that isn't complaining with an earshot of the customers.
