    Food is good, the location is awesome, and the people that work here are all very nice and accommodating. We come here all the time!

    The Machaca I ordered was made fresh and very tasty. Its one of the best! My wife ordered a Grilled Chicken Salad and she's very happy. Service was very friendly and the place reminds me of old Mexico. "I'LL BE BACK"

    Casual dining on a Sunday afternoon in the hinterland of Lake Hughes. There was country music in…read morethe back, and a very small craft festival on the property too. The dinner menu starts at 4:00. We ordered from the lunch menu, The bisque,tomato soup, and grilled cheese sandwich were pretty good., as was the chicken cutlet on a bun. The French fries were excellent. The young waitress was very busy, but we had our meal in no time. We waited for her to pick up the payment, but another woman took the cash payment. Hope she was the owner, as she stated. It was a nice change of pace venue.

    I loved the atmosphere. Felt like you were with family…read more I was immediately greeted by Amber. She had a wonderful and bubbly personality. She brought me a menu and took my drink order. I heard they serve Bravery Brewing beer so I ordered the Rocktoberfest. Still one of my favs! I told Amber that I would be ordering a few items and will be needing to-go boxes to bring home to my Mom (sharing food is my love language). Here's what I ordered: -Pepper Jack Mac & Cheese bites with their homemade ranch -Ahi Tuna sliders -Cubano with homemade chips accompanied by their homemade pepper jack queso dip -Chocolate Croissant Bread Pudding -Pepperoni pizza - to go The Mac & Cheese bites were crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside. The inside had a sharpness to it, I'm assuming from a cheese they used. They were even better dipped in their homemade ranch. Do not leave without trying it!!! Ahi Tuna sliders. You guys.. don't walk, RUN to try these! I think my eyes rolled back in my head when I took my first bite. The tuna was tender, the slaw was crunchy, creamy and citrusy with a slight sweetness. The bun was soft and slightly sweet as well, and the fact that it was toasted, added a nice texture. I'd eat these breakfast, lunch and dinner. And probably for dessert, don't judge me. The Cubano was fantastic! I'm hoping I heard Neil correctly but they marinate the pork in a homemade mojo sauce. That was incredible! The bread was nicely toasted, the ham was smoky, the fontina cheese added a nutty, buttery flavor along with the balance from the crunchy pickles and acidity from the mustard. And the homemade chips with the pepper Jack queso were amazing! The perfect crunch and crispness, salted well and dipped in the creamy queso that had a hint of spice. Oh lawd! Absolute happiness Neil Behrman, the chef, was kind enough to come out and introduce himself. I was lucky enough to have a conversation with him where we shared about our love of cooking, I got to hear about how became a chef, about his Italian grandmother, where he's worked, and how food feeds our soul. I did try one bite from the chocolate croissant bread pudding and oh man, the ooey gooey buttery chocolatey goodness is amazing! FYI.. Both my parents loved and raved about the food! Dad's favs: pizza and chips. Mom's favs: EVERYTHING! Lol!

    My husband and I decided to give Happy Hours Bar & Grill a try and honestly, I wasn't expecting…read moremuch because I'm usually not huge on American-style food. Originally we just came in for drinks, but somehow ended up ordering baked potato soup too... and I'm so glad we did. I ordered both the watermelon cocktail and the tamarindo cocktail. The watermelon one unfortunately didn't really land for me since it tasted more sour than fruity, which was disappointing. But the tamarindo cocktail? Absolutely delicious. I'd order that one again without hesitation. My husband ordered the peach margarita and loved it as well. Now the baked potato soup was honestly the star of the visit. It came served with tortilla chips and was way better than I expected. I assumed the bacon would just be tiny sprinkled bits, but nope! They gave actual CHUNKS of bacon, which made the soup even better. It was my husband's first time trying baked potato soup and he was completely sold. As for the restaurant itself, it was okay. We came earlier in the day so it wasn't too crowded, which was nice. The atmosphere personally wasn't fully my style since the music was pretty loud and the lighting was a little darker than I prefer, but that's more of a personal preference than an actual complaint. Customer service, however, was excellent. Overall, we'd definitely come back, especially for the tamarindo cocktail and the baked potato soup alone. CHEER

    49'er Saloon in Acton has a sign with "est. 1889" although the building in the western frontier…read morestyle seems much later. There's a down home, country feel to the 49'er Saloon subtly referring to the California gold rush days of yore. Looks like an ideal place for bikers and horse riders. Hearty grub with hints of traditional regional American cuisine and full bar where you will not leave hungry. There's a formal dining room for larger gatherings for families and friends. Great place to eat after scrambling around Vasquez Rocks, visiting Animal Tracks, or just hungry on CA 14 frwy. Just get off the Crown Valley offramp and head due south for about a mile. 1) Wild Game Sausage: Walk On The Wild Side With Jalapeño-Cheddar Stuffed Elk With Roasted Peppers & Onions. Big portion enough for 2 meals since the Elk sausage is so rich. Elk sausage is ground fine and stuffed tightly in the casing for dense, firm texture. You're getting your money's worth. The Jalapeño has a nice, warm piquancy while the Cheddar gives a dairy fermented undertone. The julienned red and green bellpeppers are pleasantly al dente; the onions are caramelized to bring out their sweetness. It's all sautéed in an agrodolce/sweet-sour sauce along with a touch of garlic. 1a) Side dish: Nice little garden salad including green lettuce, diced purple onion, chopped tomato, grated carrot. Chose blue cheese dressing to use for the "Buffalo Burger". 2) "Buffalo Burger" is extra finely ground, plush, velvety Bison meat. So when I ordered it medium rare, the patty turned out mushy. Next time, I will order it medium to firm up and give more of a chaw to the meat. Opted for two slices of not too crispy, meaty bacon. Mayo, tomato, green lettuce leaf, grilled onions, cheddar cheese, dense brioche bun. I spread on the blue cheese dressing to give a little funk to what I thought would be the blood minerality of the Bison meat. It's another substantial dish. 2a) Side dish of standard French fries which was crisp as requested although it didn't quite have that ineffable earthy, mildly sweet, potato flavour 1-2a) Allegiance India Pale Ale, Lancaster CA was a good counter to both food items. Dry, heavy bodied, fruity with scents of orange zest, lacquer, touch of cleansing acidity. 49'er doesn't leave you hungry so didn't have enough room for dessert. I took the Elk sausage home and made sandwiches for two meals. So eating at the 49'er isn't as expensive due to the big portions. 4 stars
