Let me start with getting inside the bar first..... my friend and I arrived around 9:45 pm and the line was super long. Also the place was almost at capacity so the wait was going to be quite a time. Luckily, we had a reservation and we were able to enter without waiting in line. Once you enter, welcome to little Mexico in Reedley! People are dancing and drinking all over the bar and there are a few tables that were already reserved by big groups. My respects to the bartenders as they were working all night nonstop. It took my friend about 30 minutes to be able to order something to drink. We did noticed that bartenders were not following a line, and they would show preference to those who were ordering big amounts of alcohol. I get it.... it's a business... and it's so hard to notice who is first in line and why not. Finding a place to hang out it was a bit hard. You really need to reserve a table or you will be standing all night. Luckily we were invited into one of the tables by some amazing girls there. So we made new friends :) The place was so packed, you were literally almost shoulder to shoulder and the cops show up because it was way at capacity. There was no drama, the cops left and no one was able to come in anymore . So if you were waiting at 11 l:30 pm outside, I'm sorry you couldn't get in :( The music was amazing! They had Banda then the DJ played cumbias, regetton and music in English. A few things to improve and this place would be a 5 rating place are: 1. Space to dance! If there could be a mini dance floor, people would have so much more fun. People were dancing by their tables and there were a few broken bottles accidents. Liability is no joke. 2. The band was amazing! But it literally didn't have a place to play. The band was playing in between the tables. These talented people should have accommodations! Unless that's how it goes? 3. There was no one to clean tables. Empty bottles were accumulating and that created broken bottle accidents. 4. Come at your own risk because no temperature checks were taken. The only people wearing masks were the bartenders. Thank God for vaccines. Overall, this place was a lot of fun! It's about a 35 minute drive from Clovis, so if you are drinking, make sure to have a designated driver! Cops are usually hanging out outside the bar to make sure the city and people are safe. I fully recommend this place for all occasions.

I ordered the **BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger**, and while the presentation wasn't the most impressive, it does come with an onion ring, which is a nice touch. It's not my favorite burger on the menu, but it's still very good. I'd give it an **8/10**. The **Monster Burger** is where it's at, though! This is easily a **9/10** and one of those burgers you really can't go wrong with. The portion size, quality, and price are all excellent, and I especially love that it comes with two different types of cheese. Definitely one of the best options here. We also ordered the **Southwestern Salad**, which was really good. I would recommend asking for extra dressing because it could definitely use a little more. Overall, I'd give the salad an **8/10**. The **fries are always a 10/10**. The side portion is huge and easily enough to share, which makes it an even better value. The drinks are good as well. The **service is always top-notch**. They treat you like family, and the food comes out quickly. I also like that the restaurant has both a traditional service side, where tipping is optional, and a self-service side where you find your own table and pick up your food, so tipping isn't necessary. The **ambiance is one of the best things about this place**. If you're a sports fan, you'll love it. There's tons of sports memorabilia throughout the restaurant and plenty of TVs showing different games. It's a great place to hang out, grab some food, and watch sports. Being right across the street from Fresno State is also a huge plus. The only real downside is the **parking**. They definitely need to find a way to increase the amount of parking because it can be difficult to find a spot. Overall, this is a great place with **good food, generous portions, reasonable prices, excellent service, and an unbeatable sports atmosphere**. Definitely worth checking out!

    Last night we came for tri-tip and left with dogfood…read more Been going here for 15 or 20 years now? All great. The one time we have clearly overcooked meat that tastes like horse the manager completely dismissed my 72-yo mother in a very rude way. I guess selling "1000s of sandwiches today with zero complaints" is good enough to completely dismiss us. What likely happened was they saved the overcooked meat till the end of the day (we went 20 minutes before closing) and we were the schmucks that got it. What really pissed me off though is that the manager had veins popping out of his neck. The way he was talking to my elderly mother was inappropriate. Thankfully he cooled down when I walked up to the conversation. All she wanted was to replace our 4 tritip sandwiches with another. Whoever the manager was needs some serious customer service training and needs to learn how to speak to people.

Menu specials and a full bar. Known for their chicken wings! However I love their veggie burger and fish sandwich. Eats downnnn. Food is always hot and fresh and I love the staff. Inside has booth seating, bar seating, fun murals and a small stage for entertainment.

    Sunday BUTTA Brunch is an absolute must do experience!…read more We came with reservations for a Sunday brunch. Note there is a reservation fee per table and it is non refundable. We were sat immediately and the waiter was pretty quick to get our first round. We put in our order pretty quickly and it came in a decent amount of time. I would warn that the more packed the establishment is the longer the wait time for things like your drinks and food. The space is a good size, there's 2 sides on the right there's booths along both sides and tables in the middle and more seating to the left. The DJ is on the right side in the corner. Be aware if you come for brunch to use your outdoor voice because between the volume of the music, people singing, and others around you it is loud. This is a classic turn up brunch not a quiet one so plan accordingly. We only ended up being able to have 2 cocktails because it took so long for the waiter to make it back to us to order & to get our drinks to us. For drinks we had the green tea shot, ciroc & juice, and an espresso martini. Drinks were pretty good and well made. For food had the BUTTA breakfast with a side of toast, hot link breakfast scramble, and side of biscuits and gravy. The food is where they lost a star for me. It came out lukewarm, it was hard to get condiments and the wait was very long since the wait staff is trying to balance both drinks & food for everyone. Having a little container with sauces already in it given to the table would alleviate the wait and strain on wait staff to give people condiments. My food was cold by the time I got the condiments I requested. The vibe is where this establishment really shines! The dj was great the wait staff were friendly and some even danced with patrons and joined in on singing making it feel like a family vibe. I love that something like this is in the valley to help bring people together. By the end of the brunch everyone was on the dance floor singing and dancing together. I'll definitely return and probably stick with drinks.
