Felt like we were coming over to a family member's house for a meal like we do every Sunday. We ordered the breakfast burrito (eggs were super soft and each bite was evenly distributed between all the fillings), lake Finnon omelette (lots of sweet savory ham), and the fluffiest buttermilk pancake. We also got a warm cup of coffee, refreshing lake Finnon sunrise, and a fried doughnut (doughnut was the perfect amount of sweet and crunch). We also loved the sweet fruits and potatoes which were fried to a nice crisp with soft interior. Place is super clean and quaint. We will definitely stop by every time we are in the area. Can't wait to try their lunch menu!

The service was extremely friendly and you can tell that everyone was excited to make something great. I got the grilled Brie sandwich with mushrooms and caramelized onions and I added bacon but I should have added a patty. It was a good sandwich but needed some extra crunch, like apple/pear slices if not adding a patty. My boyfriend got the pulled pork sandwich and he absolutely loved it. The sauce had an orange tang that worked really well. The French fries were super salty and hot and fresh and we really enjoyed our meal. The views outside were great! Inside was clean but the real views are outside.

I walked into this adorable little coffee shop Camino Coffee Mill and was immediately greeted with a huge smile by the gentleman behind the bar. He was incredibly friendly, struck up a conversation, and made me feel genuinely welcome from the moment I walked in. I didn't catch his name, but he provided amazing customer service. I ordered an iced mocha, and it was made quickly and tasted absolutely delicious--exactly what I needed for the drive home! It's always refreshing to find a place with both great coffee and even better customer service. If you're passing through the area or live nearby, I definitely recommend stopping in. I'll be back the next time I'm in the area!

5-Star Review Apple…read moreRidge Farms is such a wonderful place for a family day out! We had a fantastic time at this beautiful farm in Camino. There's something special about being able to get outside, enjoy the scenery, and spend quality time together away from the usual hustle and bustle. It's a great spot for families, with a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere and plenty to see and enjoy. The setting is beautiful, the experience feels authentic, and it's the kind of place where both kids and adults can have a genuinely fun time. If you're looking for a fun, family-friendly outing in the Camino area, Apple Ridge Farms is definitely worth a visit. Come for the farm experience, stay for the memories! Five stars all around. We'll definitely be back!

We had the turkey and brie sandwich which was absolutely decadent and delicious. It was accompanied by an outstanding mac and couscous salad and spectacular house made pickles. We also had a (SLBC) draft beer off the solid beverage menu. Couldn't resist grabbing a peanut butter blondie for dessert later. Can't wait to try the complete menu on future visits - oh yeah, we're definitely coming back. Do check it out!

While visiting a friend in Pollock Pines on Saturday, we stopped by Blue Barn Provisions for lunch,…read moreand it was such a charming find! The entire place has a cute, farm-style feel--very country, open, and spacious. They offer outdoor seating as well as beautiful long, communal wooden tables inside. There's a small open kitchen where you can watch the staff preparing the food, and the restrooms were clean and surprisingly spacious. They also carry local donuts, which were absolutely worth trying. We had the apple fritter, which was soft and delicious with the perfect crispy exterior. Our favorite was the almond bar--it was delicate, flaky, buttery, and so good. We also tried a cookie that was equally delicious. For lunch, we ordered the turkey sandwich, which was piled high with turkey and crisp vegetables, the bourbon bacon jam toast with melted brie, and a classic BLT. We kept it simple with water, which is available as self-serve. It was a beautiful day to enjoy the outdoor space. They have cornhole and bocce available to play around the property, adding to the relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. The staff was incredibly kind, and they also have a small market area featuring drinks, local products, and other items for sale. The entire place is quaint and adorable, both inside and out. I highly recommend Blue Barn Provisions for lunch or brunch if you're in the Pollock Pines area! :) dog friendly.

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.

Everybody ordered something different and we all got to sample back-and-forth and we ordered enough so we would have stuff to take home and that was a pretty easy thing to do because the sizes of the plates are so big! And the value is really good too!! if you look at our pictures, the cod that we ordered is the small plate in the Wienerschnitzel is also a small plate! I had half a plate left on my beef stroganoff and we had half a plate left of the chicken Cordon Bleu because it was just so !!

Unique restaurant in a historic area that serves up traditional American fare. The main seating…read morearea is actually downstairs - there is one room that my friend calls the "cave" room, it opens up to an actual mine that was used. So if you like those Raiders of the Lost Ark vibes, then you would like sitting next to the mine for sure. It's roped off but you can hear the water dripping and it is naturally cool. The structure was originally built as a hotel in 1853 and has been well preserved. I ordered their Smith Flat House salad ($10) and the Jambalaya Risotto ($34) which consisted of Cajun-marinated prawns, lobster meat, Andouille sausage, grilled sweet corn with saffron chicken risotto. Definitely had a bit of a kick to it, the risotto was done well. My pet peeve is mushy risotto, it needs to have a slight bite to it which this one had thankfully. Love the fact that this place serves up local wines -- I couldn't recall the wine I had and they do not have their wine menu on their website. If you have the opportunity to visit, I'd recommend a glass of red from Starfield (winery up the road).
