    Lawn area

    Nice property with plenty of tables and umbrellas to enjoy a beverage. We had a Pilsner & a Vanilla Stout. Both pretty tasty. No lager's or other light beers options on the rotating menu on the day we visited. Staff seemed a little short staffed on a busy Sunday. Food shuts down at 4pm and we just missed it. Corn Hole area in the lawn, plenty of parking.

    Great snacks for food but the cider and beer tasting was amazing for a great price! Service was fast and friendly! Ambiance was great for a get together sit down!

    I love coming to Jack Russell Farm Brewery. I even spent one of my birthdays here with friends and family. I am a fan of Jack Russells and I am a fan of beer so I really do love this spot. It is a must stop especially if I am exploring other businesses in the Apple Hill area. I love that I can get a flight and choose what I want. From stouts, ciders, sours to IPAs, this place has a lot to offer. I do like when a food vendor is there. When were were last there, no one was there and they were busy even when they opened. This is just a popular spot! I did see families bring games and playing outside at the table area and I do recommend you do this because it is fun! I cannot wait to go back especially when I am in the area.

    Always love stopping here when making stops at various apple hill spots. They have a wide selection of craft beers, ports, ipas, wines ciders and even mead! I went with a flight of blackberry, raspberry, boysenberry, apple, peach, and mead for a nice tasting. All the ciders were light and delicious and didn't taste overly sweet. I recently heard they also have seltzers which I definitely need to try next time. I always love that they have different food trucks here as well. Overall I can't recommend this spot enough

    Jack Russel is always our first stop on our annual Apple Hill trip. The cider and beer are always refreshing and they offer great choices. The setting is beautiful and they always have some type of food whether it's on site vendors or food trucks. We will always come back.

    We stopped through here on our travels around Apple Hill. We ordered a flight of 6 that included 4 beers and 2 ciders. The staff were nice and knowledgeable. Inside there were tables and some items for purchase including apparel and mix&match four packs of beer, big patio outside with tables and umbrellas, plus tables on the lawn too. There were a couple food trucks but only 1 was open and it looked like they normally have a kitchen as well but it was closed the day we went (it may just be open on the weekends). Narrow lot for parking but we found a space. Nice restroom area. It was a nice day and sitting outside was just perfect.

    Flights!

    This was a great find! Atmosphere was really cool, the beer and wine selections was on point, relaxing outdoor seating and friendly staff! Can't wait to go back.

    CUTE place overlooking the most beautiful pine trees, tucked away with fun seasonal beers, seltzers, and alcoholic slushees. They had a Mexican food truck when I went for delicious bites. I'd love to come back & soak up all of their beautiful flowers and outdoor seating!

    Stop by for happy hour

    This is one of my favorite breweries in the area. They have a lot of options to try. We were greeted right away and I ordered a flight because they have so many choices. There is a large outside area with tables to enjoy. We brought our dog and he loves to walk around and smell the flowers. Love their Blueberry beer and they also offer a good pumpkin during the fall.

    My husband and I went to check out this brewery on Memorial Day. Big area for picnic tables. They offer beer and hard cider. I ended up having the blueberry cider and that was delicious. My husband had red ale. Nice staff will be back again.

    Decent brewery with a nice outside seating area. They have cider and beer and they also have some food for sale so this is a good place to get a meal if you're visiting Apple hill. I tried a cider and a flight of beer.

    Cider flight - blackberry, apple, blueberry, peach, and raspberry ciders and a wildflower mead pour

    Such a fun place with a huge selection of beers on tap, wines and ciders, as well as a family-friendly, warm and welcoming space for kicking back and hanging out. We loved stopping here at a recent trip to Apple Hill for a little break and were pleasantly surprised at how large the premises were. There's plentiful indoor and outdoor seating, picnic benches and umbrellas, and even a field for picnics or kids to play soccer while adults sip and talk. We opted to go to the "Cave" which offers wine and ciders and meads, and were helped by a friendly employee. We got a flight of 6 ciders/meads at $3 a pour, which was a great price and fun variety! In order, our favorites were the blueberry cider, then apple cider, raspberry cider, peach cider, blackberry cider, and wildflower mead. It was so fun to try and we enjoyed relaxing at Jack Russell.

    A fun spot. Large open seating. Hard Cider, beer, and eats. Good place to bring the kids. They can run around while the parents have some adult time. Friendly service. Sometimes there is entertainment.

Well... our "quick stop" definitely changed the rest of our plans. When we ordered, we were warned that the food might take "a while." Totally understandable it was Labor Day weekend and the place was busy. What we didn't expect was an hour and a half wait for our food. Seriously, it was well over an hour. Thankfully, the brewery itself is a nice place to hang out. We ordered a flight, sampled several local brews, and ended up ordering more drinks while we waited...and waited. The patio is relaxing and the views are beautiful, so at least we had a good place to kill some time. You could definitely feel the frustration building around us, though. Other guests were getting hungry and wondering where their food was too. From what we could see, the kitchen appeared to have only a couple of people working, so they may have simply been understaffed for the holiday crowd. After 1.5 hours, our 18-inch pepperoni and sausage pizza finally arrived. Unfortunately, after that kind of wait, I was expecting something amazing. It was pretty mid. The ingredients and flavor were decent, but the center was extremely soggy we actually had to eat parts of it with a fork. The fries, on the other hand, were hot and crispy. The biggest disappointment wasn't necessarily the pizza; it was losing 1.5 hours of our day waiting for it. We had other Apple Hill adventures planned, and that delay basically pushed everything else back. Great patio, beautiful setting, and we enjoyed trying the local brews. But based on this experience, I wouldn't come back for the food unless I could see that the kitchen was fully staffed and moving. Maybe we caught them on a bad Labor Day, but for this visit, it's a pass for me.

We chose to wait and we received such a friendly and welcoming experience from start to end despite how busy they were. I appreciated our host's transparency about appetizers coming out at the same time as our entrees because their kitchen was slammed. We were totally okay with that and were immediately excited to eat the food once it got to us. It was just as delicious as it looks in pictures. Appetizers that we ordered: - Spam Musubi 5/5 - Hawaiian Style Poke 3.5/5 (it tasted very fresh but was very overstated. We still enjoyed it) Entrees: - Paniolo Burger with extra bacon and avocado 5/5 - Mahi Mahi sandwich 4.5/5 For drinks, my partner had their latest west coast IPA and I had a cider from a local place that was a bit too sweet for my preference. We sat outside since we had our two dogs and their outside patio is dog friendly. Overall, experience was a 5/5 for us and we will definitely be back to experience Tropics again when we are in the area. It's nice to have this as an option over the abundance of American food there seems to be in the area.

I have to say that a big part of this review as well was just how hellishly hot the restaurant was, if this is normally what you keep your thermostat to, y'all gotta be trying to really bring the island summer inside... I think I wetted my chair with sweat. But let's talk food, coconut shrimp were fine but just seemed like the normal run of the mill frozen bag, the bummer was the sauce, sauce for coconut shrimp to me should always be orange based, this was straight up a bottle of Mae Ploy Sweet Chili in a ramekin. The Crispy Sweet and Tangy beef, had an good texture but the flavor itself was really boring, again funny enough appeared to have Mae Ploy Sweet Chili dumped on top, it's really easy to make these sauces in house and make them unique. I was not able to taste the tacos, but my fried was NOT a fan, said the sauce was way off of what a fish taco should be and the fish was not blacked, that much was clear. Blackened means black y'all, crank up the heat and lay on the spice. Last thing was the Chicken Karrage, again ok texture, crunchy chicken but also chewy. The bummer was no sauce, whatsoever. Chicken Karrage has a specific sauce you would think it comes with, if not that the something unique. best we could do was the sauce from other our dishes, and soy. Come on again y'all, put some love into your menu. Little Sriracha Aoli would have made us happy there.

Famous for setting the gold standard of high-country orchard stops, this farm stand is equal parts cozy rustic nostalgia and absolute culinary magnetism. Hot Cider Donuts: You come here for hot apple cider doughnuts. Fried fresh to order, tossed in cinnamon sugar, and handed to you screaming hot. Pure indulgence. They feature a crisp, delicate outer crust gives way to pillowy, cider-rich interior. Pair one with a cup of their fresh-pressed, unfiltered spiced hot cider (or cold), and you have achieved peak autumn bliss. Fresh-Pressed Hot Cider: The ultimate dynamic duo pairing. This isn't just liquid sugar--it is punchy, pleasantly tart, and packed with warm, aromatic spices to balance out edge sweet treats. The Bakery Stand: Beyond the viral doughnuts, the bakery churns out massive deep-dish apple pies, berry tarts, and cider-insisted baked goods that rival any grandmother's secret recipe. Fresh Fruit and Produce: Crisp-estate grown apples, seasonal stone fruit, and a dedicated tasting tent serving up crisp hard ciders for the grown-ups crafted directly from their mountain orchards. The sweeping grassland backdrop and orchard views make it a prime spot to spread out a blanket and soak in the Sierra Foothill breeze. Lines for the doughnut shack build fast. Arrive and grab a box of a dozen (you will regret buying just six) and secure a spot before crowds swarm. Rainbow Orchards delivers an unbeatable, sweet-toothed sliced of farm country charm.
