    Custom bowl
    Karen A.

    Butterfish is our favorite go to spot for poke places in Fresno/Clovis. We had many to go and dine in orders from here, and never disappointed. Fish always being fresh compared to other spots in Fresno. They have quite a large set of ingredients and sauces ones could customize and create their own bowl. I love their interior seating area as well as their to-go window where they worked pretty well to deliver customer's order on time though there is always a high demand. Definitely recommended spot and kind of a spot in our list that we always will come back

    If you're in the Fresno/Clovis area, Butterfish is hands down my favorite spot. It's usually pretty busy, but that just shows how good it is. Everything tastes super fresh and the topping options are actually unique, which I love because it keeps things from getting boring. You can really customize your bowl exactly how you want it. And the price is great because you can get up to 5 scoops of protein! My go-to sauces are the miso vinaigrette and spicy mayo, such a good combo and adds the perfect amount of flavor. Service is always fast, and everyone who works there is really nice and talkative, which makes the experience even better. The inside is also super clean and has a really nice aesthetic and vibe.

    Star rating remains the same at 5. Food is really fresh and line moves quick. They are a well oiled machine with personality! We tend to get the same thing: Rising Sun over bacon fried rice. Highly recommended. Plenty of seating both inside and out.

    This place is amazing! Super cute atmosphere and the staff is so nice. And the food, boy of boy the food! The food is so refreshing and flavorful. I love poke and I love it even more when I get to choose exactly what goes in it. The sushi rice is perfectly seasoned, the topping and fresh, and the sauces are so flavorful. I crave it from time to time and even thought I could try to make it at home, I can never replicate the flavors. I go here often just to get my fix.

    Even though the line was long, it moved quickly. Everything was fresh. Able to choose 5 veggies and 2 sauces with 3 proteins on the regular bowl- make your own

    The service is fast! The portions are generous. The quality of the fish is SO GOOD. I refuse to eat Poke anywhere else. Truly one of one. This is place is so consistent with their quality. They also move fast, don't be intimidated by the line when you first walk in :)

    Freshness exemplified! Ordered a Veggie Bowl with rice, wonton strips, and mixed greens- it was phenomenal!! Loved the customer care as I navigated through the many choices of toppings, and the patience as I was a bit indecisive. It's all amazing! The vibes are super chill, with a clean modern motif, plenty of seating both inside and out, and just a smooth experience overall! Like a well-oiled machine, this place keeps containers stocked with everything fresh! Loved how a new container of rice was brought over for my bowl. As I was about to check-out, I opted for the bag of wonton strips and guac...highly recommend it. If you haven't been here, you gotta go- you will not be disappointed. Well done Butterfish Team, thanks!

    Came to this butterfish for the first time. Did an online order so can't say much about service and ambiance, but I can speak about the food! For online orders, they have a pick up window that is OUTSIDE their store, to the right of the door. Ordered 2 regular sized custom poke bowls, one for me and one for my sister. I felt that the protein scoops were small because I ran out of protein fast. Also, the seared ahi tuna tasted sort of tough and dry? Texture wise. But besides that, everything else was solid! Rice was cooked well and flavors were present

    Kathy H.

    Build your own hot bowl online, selected "no base" and in notes I put down if they were able to sub rice base for salad and kelp noodles. Perfectly made bowl! The wonton chips with guac were good although the wonton chips were a bit over salty. Great portions for price and quality!

    I am really glad I found this place. I've been having bad luck finding food here in Clovis and a friend recommended that I try this place. I ordered for takeout since I was just on my lunch break. I never found a poke bowl place that's offered beef and bacon fried rice and it was great. I also had salad, imitation crab, salmon and tuna and it was really good. I had some fried shrimp on the side and it really paired well with the bowl. I did notice that some of the rice was undercooked but it was still edible.

    The food at Butterfish Poke was absolutely amazing fresh ingredients, great flavor combinations, and generous portions that hit the spot. The service was okay, nothing that stood out but it got the job done. At the end of the day, I would still recommend giving it a try if you're in the area.

    Reg bowl with spicy mayo, salmon, ahi tuna and spicy crab
    Jozel R.

    First time here. I frequently go to the Friant location when craving poke. My husband and I dined in for dinner and this location was the closest to our daughter's swimming lesson location. The line was long per usual but the workers were very kind and patient. My usual is salmon and ahi tuna, they don't have yellowtail anymore so I decided to try the spicy crab. And I usually get spicy mayo as my sauce. There was nothing spicy about my bowl. I was a bit disappointed usually there's so much flavor but the day we went to this location it was lacking any flavors. They gave the smallest scoops of protein. BF usually hits out poke bowl cravings but not sure if it was an off day or the location but our cravings weren't satisfied.

    Walking in....

    Where do they post their nutritional content? I'd like to know how healthy the food is, and the calorie count. Thank you!

    They don't seem to post it, at least not online and not on the in-store menu. I've looked for it a few times and have had no luck.

The burger was okay but definitely overcooked and not very juicy. It was missing some flavor. The garlic fries were probably the best thing we ordered. The hibiscus lemonade was decent, and the mocktail we got was actually really good. As for the service, some of the staff were really nice and welcoming, but I did feel a little uncomfortable toward the end. When I asked if I could pay with cash instead of card, I got the impression that the person seating us assumed I was going to leave a tip and seemed disappointed when I clarified that I was just paying cash. I also felt like some of the servers were giving us an attitude afterward because we didn't tip. Overall, tipping is a personal choice, and I don't think customers should feel judged or pressured because of it. Some of the staff were genuinely kind, but unfortunately the food and the experience weren't enough for me to want to come back.

As someone who follows mostly a plant-based diet, I was overjoyed to discover such tasty options. The Date Night Brussels Sprouts were absolutely amazing; roasted to perfection with a crispy exterior and tender interior, coated in a sweet-savory glaze that had just the right balance of flavor and texture. They were so delicious that I couldn't get them out of my mind! The plant-based dumplings were just as scrumptious, and we even savored the leftovers for breakfast at the hotel the next day. The restaurant boasts a warm and inviting atmosphere, the service was top-notch, and the location is incredibly convenient, only a short drive from the airport to our hotel. We will certainly make Colton's Social House a regular stop whenever we fly into FAT. With no Delta Sky Club and limited plant-based dining options at the airport, this is the ideal first (or last) stop. Highly recommend!

That is exactly what happened during my recent dinner at Elderberry House. I visited with a group of four, and between us, we had two gluten-free diners and one vegetarian. After a quick heads-up the day before, the restaurant handled our needs with total ease. We went for the five-course tasting menu, and it was incredible from start to finish. We kicked things off with one of the best oysters I have ever had, followed by a beautiful tuna presentation. The kitchen even looked out for our gluten-free friends with a special version of their herbal-butter focaccia that was actually delicious. By the time the main courses arrived, I honestly could not decide if I liked my beef or my friend's snap pea risotto better; every single bite was pure perfection. The cocktails were another high point. My first drink was great, but after chatting with our server, Jordan, I decided to try the Last Word. It featured that hard-to-find green chartreuse, and I am a little annoyed to report that I have a new favorite cocktail that requires such a rare ingredient. The service is what really made the night so special. Jordan was so charismatic and helpful, making sure we were perfectly taken care of all evening. He was so good that I almost worried a second visit would not be the same without him, though the rest of the staff quickly put that fear to rest. Abby was so friendly and responsible for a truly unique but perfect-for-the-vibe playlist, and Chris the mixologist even stopped by to geek out about gin and cocktails with us. From the genuine care for our food sensitivities to the clever touch of the iPad check-in hidden in an elegant binder, it was a night for the books. I cannot recommend this place enough and look forward to bringing my family next!

We headed in at an odd time yesterday around 230pm. It was late for lunch and too early for dinner. Nevertheless, we were seated in the front dining area, and ordered some entrees. The menu offers a lot of familiar favorites that you would expect to see at a a bar/ restaurant. Burgers, sandwiches, salads, and a few specialty plates. For my meal, I ordered The Local burger (no pickles of course) which was absolutely fantastic. Piled high with cheese, bacon, lettuce and tomatoes - this burger was executed to perfection. I ordered it medium, and it came out medium (imagine that). The best part was the sunny side egg that was placed on top. That first bite was heavenly. The yolk breaks, and all the goodness adds a little extra flavor to the already delicious burger. The shoe string fries were seasoned perfectly- I highly recommend this entree. The only thing I would add next time is an element of spice to take things up to another level. My wife ordered the BLTA sandwich , with sweet potato fries. I didn't try a bite because I had enough bacon on my burger , but I did sneak a sweet potato fry , and it was fantastic. My son order the chimichurri steak , he seemed to enjoy it although it may have had too much sauce on it for his liking. Perhaps it would been better if he ordered the sauce on the side. My picky daughter ordered the pesto chicken sandwich ,and she said it was pretty good. My family and I were full , but weren't going to let the dessert options pass us by. My family has a sweet tooth. We all shared the chocolate cake and bread pudding . Both are nice options if you need something sweet to top off your meal. The food and vibe of this place deserves 5 stars. I will deduct one star for the mediocre service and inconsistent food prep. Our meals were coming out one by one which made it awkward when trying to eat together. Our server didn't offer refills on our drinks , and didn't bring us utensils -until we asked for them.

The Local gets the job done if you need a quick bite during the work day. I tried the BBQ Bleu Burger, which comes loaded with bleu cheese crumbles, BBQ sauce, bacon jam, fried onions, and the usual burger fixings. The burger itself was generously sized, but the patty was underseasoned, and the dominant flavors were mainly the bleu cheese and BBQ sauce. My wife ordered the pesto chicken sandwich and felt it lacked flavor. Our kids split the mac & cheese and a grilled cheese sandwich, but neither was a hit. Even the grilled cheese went mostly untouched, by my kids which was unexpected. On the plus side, the outdoor patio is cozy and looks like a great spot for fall dining with a drink in hand. They also offer brunch, though it's available by reservation only.
