    This was my first time here. This place had a rustic ambiance. Seating inside and outside. Outside does have heating. Let's get the Con out of the way. The Tri Tip was over cooked. Very well done, so it was a little dry. Now the rest of the food was great. The Roasted Brussel Sprouts were great. Not to mention the Korean Cauliflower. My son loved the butter noodles. The American Burger was cooed to the medium well as we asked. You can also taste the quality of the grass fed meat. Service was Al's a great quality of this location. Just don't ask the manger to pour your beer. Stick with Evan, he is great at his job. He is very polite and knowledgeable. Not saying the manger is bad, just doesn't know how to pour beer. Speaking of that, they have a great happy hour. Beer and wines are 50% off. I will come back and give an update. I plan on the Thai Chicken Bowl.

    This is a great little spot for lunch. I had the Vegan avocado hummus sandwich. It was delicious and had a good combo of flavors. Bonus points for having a vegan option on your menu. :) My husband had the California burger and said it was very good. We ordered a kids chicken that came with a side and a kids buttered noodles that did not come with a side. The only suggestion I would have would be to include a side with all kids meals. Also having a side with the sandwiches and burgers would be nice. With that said the prices are low enough à la carte. The place was very clean and I loved the nice cozy rustic patio. Bushfire Kitchen had a friendly vibe and we will definitely try it again.

    Tri Tip

    Mobile ordered an hour prior and then arrived and was told "we got slammed with orders so it'll be a few" not a big deal. But then they forgot my bread and the steak is dry and my broccoli doesn't have the miso on it it's just steamed broccoli. $21 for this is a joke. I keep trying to give them another chance because this isn't the first time they've messed up my order. I'm officially not trying it anymore. Shame on me I guess.

    Our first visit was rewarded with friendly and prompt service as well as a delicious lunch. I recommend the Chicken or Beef Empanadas. They are Amazing and served with a delicious sauce. We will definitely be back.

    I want to throw up. I eat here usually 1-2 times a month and always been a fan. Tonight my partner and I got home while I was eating I noticed a pink plastic piece of something in my tri-tip bowl. It turns out to be a finger nail!!!!!!! I'm MORTIFIED!!!! Hoping the general manager and owner contact me back immediately!

    Good hearty food. We haven't been to this restaurant in a long time, but the quality of food has not changed, and by that I mean it's still really good. I do enjoy their menu choices which are written on big wooden boards above the open kitchen area. You can order meat, fish, or vegetarian options. You can also build your own bowl of delicious food which I really like. Once you order at the register you will have your food brought to your table (inside and outside seating). They offer good selection of beers if you fancy one with your meal. - BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich: antibiotic-free pork slowly cooked overnight, dill pickles, crispy onions, mustard and housemade barbecue sauce was good. I added fried egg and avocado to it and ordered side dish of roasted squash. The roasted squash was really good and filling. - Chicken and Rib Plate: free-range chicken leg & thigh, 1/4 rack of antibiotic-free pork ribs and any two sides. For the sides we ordered Grandma's Mac and cheese and sweet potato fries (both delicious!). If you are looking for fast, healthy, comfort food then this is the place to t

    Does your chimichurri sauce have dairy?

    Are there a la carte options available on the meats?

    Yes there of ala carte options for the meats. my sister orders that way every time. I believe it's an OFF MENU option

    Would you be able to accommodate a Whole30 diet?

    They create all their food from scratch and have a great selection of meats and fresh made sides. I would say that you should definitely be able to eat a Whole 30 meal there.

Thats just silly. Just get the bigger can and charge me 3 bucks for it. Thats fair in my humble opinion. 4$ for two mini cans is wonky to me. Alas, these are not the reasons why this place originally got a 2 star from me. It was the tomatoes on my avocado toast. They taste spoiled, old, and mushy. It made my stomach hurt a bit. As for the salmon, it tasted like it smelled, funky. Why i ended up giving this place a 3 instead of 2 stars? Bc their creme brulee was the BEST creme brulee I've ever had. It was so luscious, creamy, and it felt like these are the kinds of desserts GODS eat! It was amazing! My server was friendly and talkative with me up until the end.

Over the weekend (June 6th) I was dining outside with a group of approximately fifteen people, and around 10:00 p.m a physical fight broke out only about 10 feet away from our table. The incident was alarming and unsettling. As a patron, witnessing violence in such close proximity naturally created fear and concern for my personal safety and the safety of those in my group. What was most disappointing was not the fight itself, as businesses cannot always control the actions of every customer, but rather the response from the staff and management. When I expressed concern to our server(blondish curly hair female), I was told that "fights happen here all the time." That response was shocking and provided no reassurance whatsoever. Instead of acknowledging the seriousness of the situation or checking on guests who had just been exposed to a violent altercation, the comment normalized the behavior and dismissed legitimate safety concerns. I then requested to speak with a manager. The first manager who came to our table (male, shaggy blackish upper cheek bone length hair, older, Caucasian) would not provide his name, offered no apology, and showed no concern for the impact the incident had on our dining experience. There was no attempt to reassure guests, address the situation professionally, or acknowledge that customers had just been exposed to a frightening and disruptive event. Fortunately, another manager, Evan, later came to speak with us. Evan was the only person who demonstrated empathy and professionalism. He acknowledged that the situation was upsetting, offered reassurance, and took the time to listen to my concerns. He also chose to comp a portion of the bill ($19), which, while appreciated, was not really the issue. The issue was safety, accountability, and customer care. Restaurants have a responsibility to create an environment where patrons feel safe. While no establishment can prevent every incident, management can absolutely control how they respond when violence occurs. Guests who express fear or concern deserve to be heard, acknowledged, and treated with respect. Dismissing concerns or acting as though violent incidents are routine is unacceptable. I appreciate Evan's professionalism, but the overall response from the server and initial manager left me with serious concerns about how customer safety concerns are handled at this establishment.

The baked pretzel bun was unlike any I've had before. Buttery and pillowy on the inside and a crisp exterior. The chicken was perfectly cooked and paired well with the chili honey, which was perfectly balanced without being too sweet or too spicy. The grilled onions added extra sweetness and richness that contrasted nicely with the fresh tomato, avocado, and lettuce. Together, it made the perfect sandwich! Definitely a spot worth checking out. The food tasted high quality, and I'll absolutely stop by again when I'm back in town.
