Review for the resort and the restaurant incoming!…read more Stayed with the family for a night on our way to Southern California as we were in need of respite after crushing Bay Area traffic. The room was very clean, and solidly appointed for the price (under $200 with AAA discount). In the morning we took a swim in their gorgeous swimming pool. It was an early morning because he had to get back on the road. But, if I were to linger it would be right next to that pool or that awesome horse shoe bar across the lot at the restaurant. Breakfast was awesome. I had the country fried steak and eggs. It was a very tender piece of tenderized steak and the gravy was lights out $29.95. Kids had the "little cowpoke" which was a pancake, bacon slice and an egg for $8.95. The pancake was tasty and the bacon was a large cut (I had to get my Dad tax in). Only downside was the avocado toast (but who would order that at a roadside cow restaurant?) My wife would! HA! It was $18.95 and she felt like she was being punished as it was just a single slice of bread with avocado and two poached eggs. She was really hoping for a larger portion for the price. Overall, it was a really solid 5/5 experience. We left something in the room accidentally and the front desk called us before we even noticed. They said they'd take care of it and we will cruise by on the way home to grab it. Really awesome customer service. For a resort in the middle of nowhere I get no real complaints. I mean it smells like poop outside but there's like a million head of cattle down the road so that makes sense. Also, no foul smells in the hotel or restaurant. They do a good job keeping it out.

A must stop anytime I'm on my way home from Southern California. This place is off the I-5. I've…read morebeen here a few times, always on weekends, but this was the first time I came on a weekday. It's also the first time I did not have to wait for a table to be available! I believe my waitresses name was Kristina who was great. Great service! I ordered the 14 oz ribeye with a loaded baked potato and a Cesar salad to start. The steak was cooked perfectly however the baked potato was a little cold as if it was made before the steak was ready, but this was a first and I came for the steak anyways! The place was pretty quiet and I sat in the bar area, so that was interesting. Overall this place is always a must stop for me and tastes so good! I did not get to enjoy any alcohol options as I was only half way home and still had to drive! Highly recommend this place.

The food is great, service is great, and Chris is great! Best Wedge Salad and fantastic steaks.read more

When I think of Harris Ranch, I think steaks. That's it. Never would I have thought their bakery…read morepumps out some delicious pastries and desserts. The bakery is part of the country store, which sells such random housewares and souvenir-type stuff. They have a chocolate truffle case on one side and the other side, the pastries and desserts. The pastries looked delicious and I got a few to try. They also have bags of day-old cookies for a good price. Eclair 4/5* I'm not a huge fan of eclairs with the soft fudge on top instead of the hardened chocolate. Taste wise though, it was a good eclair. The cream isn't overly sweet and the eclair itself was a light dough. Napoleon 5/5* If there's something Harris bakery does right, it's flaky pastries. Surprisingly, this Napoleon stayed crispy the entire drive home and survive even in the refrigerator the next day. Many others I've had usually get soggy, but these layers of puff pastry stayed crisp to the end of every last bite. The cream was fluffy and not too sweet, and paired perfectly with the ripe strawberries. Banana Cream Pie 3/5* I love anything banana and just had to get it when my eyes landed on the perfect swirl of whip cream covered in chunks of buttery crumbles, atop a neat little mini pie. However, the pie itself was too mushy. The crust was soggy, with the smoothness of the banana cream, soft banana slices, and rich whip cream, everything combined was too much mush. It was also too sweet. I did enjoy the crumble on top though. That was the only saving texture. Strawberry Cream Horn 5/5* Wow these were so unexpectedly delicious! The horn is super flaky and delicate, filled from end to end with a light strawberry cream. On top, bits of dehydrated strawberries were not only beautiful but added a nice tartness and texture, contrasting with the silky cream. This was a great upgrade on your classic cream horn. Chocolate Chip Cookies with Walnuts 3/5* Nothing special. They tasted better the longer they sat out because they were crisper. I prefer my cookies to have sea salt for that good balance of salty and sweet, but these cookies were just one noted. Next time, I have my eyes set on this towering cake they had on the counter and of course, take home some of those yummy cream horns.

Highly disappointing to see the Country Store as of late…read more We have been going to Harris Ranch for as long as I can remember and I am 52 years old. It feels like our home away from home as we go back and forth from Northern California and to visit our family in Orange County. We always LOVED seeing the store and its unique gifts that filled the entire place. For some time, there looks to be maybe a quarter of what they used to have. So sad... I used to come and find a lot of my Christmas gifts for people during the holidays. This past Christmas, I went in and the place looked desolate. I was confused and wondered if I missed it all? I don't know if Harris Ranch is not doing well, but it really looks like they're struggling if you look at the empty feel of the store. We just left the shop now on our way back down to Southern California and once again shocked and highly disappointment. It was bad.. I really hope that whatever happening there gets better so that the store can return to the gorgeous shop that it once was.

Very grateful the family makes this available for tours. Highly recommend if you appreciate gardening, architecture, art, engineering etc. They also did a great job of reminding me of my appointment and following up afterwards. If in Fresno area, this is a don't miss!!

My family along with our cousins and aunt decided to tour the Forestier Underground Gardens. It was…read moresuch a gem to visit. The gardens were built in an unexpected park of Fresno and these is a lot of history behind them. Parking was somewhat difficult but once you enter, the staff were very kind, organized, and positive. Our tour guide Raul was super sweet and provided a lot of history regarding the gardens and the family who built them. Raul had my 3 young boys engaged and interested. He answered all my questions and was so open to conversation. You could tell Raul was proud to be there telling all of us how the Gardens came to be. The Gardens are very interesting. I've never seen anything quite like these. The smell of all the citrus trees combine with the natural cooling underground was amazing and made the tour comfortable. If you have any time i do recommend visiting these secret gardens.

With as many signs on the freeways as Andersen's has in California promoting their famous split pea…read moresoup, one would think they would be prevalent everywhere. In reality, there are/were only two: the original location (and now closed since 2024) in Buellton and this location in Santa Nella. It turned out that we needed to take a break and gas up around lunchtime very close by, so decided to stop in for lunch. It ended up being OK. This second location has been open since 1976 and is located in a huge building with tons of seating and a large retail space. It has a separate downstairs dining room (available if your party is large), a large bar in the back (open during lunch though only one person was in there), and an upstairs not accessible during lunchtime. We came at exactly 11:00 and they had begun serving lunch. We were led to our seats, and someone came by with water. There seemed to be some confusion on who was supposed to serve us, and we were ignored for a while, even as other folks were being seated. Finally, a waitress came back (guessing she wasn't our original one, but had to pivot) and took our order. Not particularly friendly in the beginning (ended up being talkative at the end as my wife had struck up a conversation), but got our order correct. The food came out soon after, and it was served all together and was still warm when we got them. My wife and I have been to the Andersen's in Buellton and had slightly different memories of how good the split pea soup was. We ordered a cup ($6.99), and didn't even have to tell the waitress what kind of soup we wanted. The soup was good for the first couple spoonful, but didn't end up finishing it; glad we ordered a small cup. My wife and her mom split a Teriyaki Chicken dinner ($21.50) and they liked it: nothing fancy, just one chicken breast grilled and topped with bottled teriyaki sauce and a pineapple slice. I got the Danish Style Meatloaf ($21.99, was planning to share with my wife) and it seemed well made with generous portions, but neither of us liked it (the pork/beef mixture with breadcrumbs was very finely ground and reminded me of a mealy German sausage without the casing). Both the soup and meatloaf would have been good as small samples from a buffet while grazing, but are difficult as a main course for our taste. Both plates came with a from-frozen vegetable medley (broccoli, carrots, and zucchini), along with a rice pilaf for the chicken plate. We did buy some trinkets at the gift shop. I wanted to get a Danish, but ended up sharing a Cinnamon Crisp, a giant cookie covered in cinnamon sugar. It was really good, definitely worth the $5.50 price.

We stopped by on our way up to the Bay from Socal. It was around dinnertime on Memorial Day, so we…read morewere anticipating a crowd but didn't expect so many people to be there. It took us 1 hour to get our food. Regardless of the wait, the food still tasted very good. While we were sitting down at the table waiting for our food, one of the workers came up and started a conversation with us, which was really nice despite how busy it was and was something that I have never seen before at other In-N-Outs. Definitely a spot to hit if you're on the 5 and looking for good food, but just beware of possible crowds.

I hate to have to do this because I love INO and I have a sibling who also works with the company…read morebut, unfortunately this location needs to tighten up on their quality and attitude. I modified some items and asked for my fries to be crispy. When I got to the receiving window the first thing that was handed to me were the fries, which were white and soggy. I let Angelina know that I ordered them light well and asked if she could swap them to which I was met an annoyed face and attitude making me repeat myself 3 times and each time she asked "what was that?" With a condescending tone, it was as if I was bothering her. Not only were the fries soggy, I ate one and they were cold and stale...meaning they were definitely not fresh. While we waited for that to be done and received the rest of our order, we asked for things like water and spread, to which she did the same thing again. She had a raised eyebrow and annoyed tone and made us repeat ourselves 3 times with a mocking "what was that??" We get the waters and were missing straws, so again we waited for her to come back. When she finally gave us the new batch of fries I asked for straws and ketchup and the same series of annoyed faces and "what was that???" (3 times )was given to us. She rudely hands me the extra items and I tell her thank you very much and she just ignored me and turned around. I understand that INO is a busy place but thats no reason to treat a customer like that, especially when I was in no way rude in my interaction. & the store wasn't even remotely filled inside. All of us in the car were surprised she didnt even say bye have a good day or anything , we were just ignored after trying to be nice even through her shitty attitude. All that, and shortly we found a hair cooked into our fries .. :) so I dont really know what to say at this point. All I hope for is that Angelina gets confronted about her poor work ethic by one of the managers and hope that the hair was just a coincidence and not malicious by whoever she told to remake the fries. This is Popeye's behavior. Do better.

The sole employee was very kind and helpful, but the food was not so stellar. They don't have Impossible Meat because it's an "Express" version of the establishment.

And the store itself is quite run down, dingy, and, all around, not a place that looks like it should sell food. I got a few bites into my burrito, found a hair, and decided it was not for me. Is it Baja Fresh or Baja Flop...?

Friendly staff, I like that they put a lot of effort into wrapping the burritos. I know this sounds…read moretrivial, but they took their time and stuffed the burrito which is more than a lot of other places do. The burrito wasn't the fanciest or tastiest thing I've ever had, but it's one of the healthier alternatives from the other restaurants at this rest stop. We came at the end of the day so they were running low on a lot of ingredients, but they still had all the toppings I wanted and my burrito was pretty big! The flavors of everything we're just OK, but it met my expectations for a rest stop at burrito on a road trip.
