    Philly Cheesesteak and a Mushroom Philly Cheesesteak
    Benjamin C.

    I know Philly's is a Visalia staple, but I just can't get what the hype is with this place. I've tried their brick and mortar and today I tried the food truck. Food trucks that don't display any prices always trip me up. I know, without a doubt, I'm going to be taken advantage of. That's exactly what happened here. The wife wanted a Philly Cheesesteak and I wasn't going to say no. I go to order and I get told the total is $28. I ask if these are big sandwiches and the guy helping has the cook hold up a bun to show me the size. The look on my face had to be extremely unimpressed, because he quickly told me they stuff these full. No turning back now. When my name got called and I grabbed the to-go bag, I knew I messed up. It felt like the bag was full of napkins. I know the cost of things have gone up, but if I pay you nearly $30 for two sandwiches, it better feel like I have two "stuffed" sandwiches waiting for me in the bag. Instead of stuffed, I had slightly full sandwiches. I was hoping what was lacking in portion size would be made up for in quality. I was let down a second time. Since the sandwich wasn't stuffed and the filling was slightly dry, I got a DAS (Dry Ass Sandwich). That's not mentioning the fact that my Philly Cheesesteak seemed more like a Philly Steak with a sprinkling of cheese. Overall the whole experience was disappointing and I won't be visiting the shop or truck again. I'd rather eat the Philly Cheesesteak we have at home.

    Mushroom cheesesteak with a hint of cheese

    I really hate to do this because the service was great and the ladies were very nice but I probably won't be coming here again. I was baited by their Instagram videos. Ordered the mushroom Philly cheesesteak. I double checked and asked if cheese wiz comes with it and she said they were out. No big deal. Got the fries for the side. It came out to 21.60. Forgot to order a soda, so ordered that and that was 3.80(btw refills are not free) so basically paid 25$ for this meal. Got the food, bun was toasted very nice, warm, then I took a bite and, nothing! No flavor. It's just texture of a cheesesteak with absolutely no flavor. Fries were fine tho but man, that cheesesteak I will remember for the rest of my life as being the most bland, water flavored cheesesteak I've ever had. That just my experience though. Maybe I picked a bad day or they just forgot to season the meat.

    Greek salad with Marinated chicken.  $3.50 for the chicken  Greek Salad
    Stephanie T.

    This place was recommended by a friend. Try the salad they said, so I did. I had the Greek Salad w/ marinated chicken. When I got my salad I was sad to see it in a To-go container when I decided to dine in. The place is small w/ 3 tables but there is plenty of outdoor seating. My salad was tasty w/ the Balsamic Vinegrette but A little skimpy on the cucumbers and olives and there was no feta cheese. I kinda feel ripped off for $17. Would I come back, well I'm in no hurry unless they plan on serving what they advertise on the menu

    Amazing.  Philly's. Beans. Macaroni salad.
    Natalie R.

    I have wanted to try this place for a very long time. It was delicious and hot. Cooked too order and the staff was great. Lacked a little salt with the salad, beans and meat but nothing we couldn't fix. Definitely will be back.

    COVID-19 phase: My mother called in and ordered 2 mushroom cheese-steaks and 2 side salads. She said it would be ready in 10 minutes. We went to get it. The place was nice. They have outside seating. The worker was very nice too. The food was ready. The mushrooms Philly cheese-steak sandwich was delicious! Fresh and tasty! The side salad was really good too! Simple. Fresh. Great dressing! My mother said it all tasted really good too! Good service and great food! Highly recommended!

Ordered my food about 25 minutes before my break. Walked over. As I stood there the woman (I believe Missy) looked at me and looked away. I stood there as she made a sandwich in one of the slowest motions I've ever witnessed. Then a man from DoorDash came in. She told him,I'm sorry for the wait I've been sooo busy. I still gave her grace and waited. She eventually hands him his bag of items. I said hey,I ordered my food about 40 minutes ago online. She told me I Don't have an order for you. I showed her my email. She then said I don't know what to tell you. I was running out of time to even eat at this point. I told her my name again and that I would call regarding getting my money back. I got the most terrible sandwich for $20 Nextdoor and basically didn't even eat. So I called and she proceeded to say she was soo busy. I politely told her,you absolutely were not. I watched you for 20 minutes! And you ignored me multiple times after looking at me. You dismissed me. She claimed she had 3 online orders before I got there. She stated she found my order. I reminded her that I placed my order 25 minutes before I even got there. She then apologized again,while defending the fact she was "so busy" I stated that "being so busy" has nothing to do with customer service. I asked for management. She said they would be back on Monday. What a let down. What a shame that people With no customer service have to work in it just to have a job. I have sympathy and understanding to a certain level. But now I'm out the $20 I spent on a terrible sandwich from the neighboring store plus my expectations and business from what I was expecting to be an amazing sandwich. (I know this was long,sorry) lol. All and all,awful from start to finish. Don't go here expecting anything beyond what an employee is forced to do. PS,still waiting for my refund.

    Three campers stopped at Sequoia Brewing in Visalia during the drive home from Sequoia and Kings…read moreCanyon National Parks on June 3rd. The running water in the bathroom was well appreciated. The campers ordered three beers and the Gilroy pizza (chicken, feta, tomato, artichoke hearts). They rotated the three beers until each guest tried a sip of each beer and concluded all three beers were excellent! Then the plates arrived, one dirty with food residue. While the campers did not expect to have cleaner dishes at their campsite than at a restaurant with running water, they understood that sometimes automatic dishwashers don't get all food residue off 100% of the time, and sometimes waiters forget to visually inspect the plates they serve for foreign object debris. Next, the pizza arrived with chicken, feta, tomato, and mushrooms?! Now the campers specifically choose the Gilroy pizza for the artichoke hearts and avoided the Flame Grilled Pesto Pizza due to its mushrooms. Immediately upon serving the pie, one camper asked if the right pizza arrived. The half-conscious waiter lied, assuring the correct pizza was served. However, the campers were hungry and in a hurry to drive back home. Nevertheless one reviewed the menu and confirmed that the pizza order is wrong due to the mushroom for artichoke heart switcharoo. This camper told the waiter, who then kindly offered to make the correct pie to remedy the situation, without apologizing for gaslighting the campers earlier while displaying a total lack of awareness for the toppings on the Gilroy pizza. The campers politely declined due to the time required to bake another pizza, with a desire to arrive home quickly, and ate the pizza that was served. Normally, a waiter with a shred of emotional intelligence would offer a free dessert or waive the cost of one of the three beers the campers ordered to remedy the dishonesty, disgusting dishes, and disorganized delivery of delicious, but different than desired, edibles. Instead, the campers paid their full tab and generously compensated the waiter with an industry standard gratuity. The quality of the pizza was delicious: both the toppings and the crust. The owners and brewmasters did an excellent job providing delicious nourishments and liquids while the manager is failing them by not holding the staff accountable to the very basics: clean dishes and correct food orders. The campers had a simple order without substitutions, meaning only the most incompetent staff could find a way to screw it up. Five stars for taste but the service downgrades this review to four. Update (to the owner who replied) why would I go back when you haven't offered any remedy?

Drinks were always made strong and the servers were pleasant although the food always took forever to come out. The food always tasted frozen and oily. The health score should have deterred us and we were always met with sticky tables and glasses. *Three Rivers Mojito: could have used more mint but boy was the rum pour heavy. The lime taste was strong and I would have like more strawberry puree. *Pretty In Pink: fruity and sour with a strong alcoholic finish. I wanted more of a elderflower and hibiscus flavor but the prominent raspberry taste was still good. *Watermelon Vodka: slightly artificial but wow was the vodka heavy. Despite ordering this during happy hour, the pour was generous and the glass was massive. *Fried Pickles: the batter was incredibly thick and it wasn't cooked through. I literally had to peel off the doughy exterior to enjoy the classic pickle. This item needed more time in the fryer and the batter recipe should be revised. *Potstickers: the only decent food item. This was most likely frozen given the perfectly identical creases but it was steamed properly. The dipping sauce was flavorful and vinegary. *Fish and Chips: suffered from the same thick and flavorless batter. The fries were alright, salty and crispy. The cod was tough and rubbery. I mostly ate the fries with the tartar sauce and ranch and left the fish alone. Sequoia Brewing, your cheap drinks will be missed but pretty much nothing else.

Bonus there cause alot of places get skimpy, they sure don't. The inclusion of mayo was different but not bad, It gave an added butteriness to the overall flavor which was nice. The meat itself was seasoned, maybe a little over salty at first, but again, this sandwich was one that really grows on you. The bread was soft, a little chewy but added to the texture to add another positive note. It was a sandwich so good, it was absolutely worth finishing.

Staff were super friendly from the moment we walked in. Greeted and sat, our waitress Destiny was super nice and very friendly! The gentleman server who brought our food was also very nice! We got a few beers, had a Bloomin Onion "delicious!" And then ordered our steaks. We both got the Delmonico Rib Eye and wow, what a delicious steak. Cooked and seasoned perfectly! I got mine a medium rare and my dad got medium. He was skeptical about the medium rare til I gave him a piece and he could taste all the flavor! We both got fully loaded baked potatoes, but I made sure to ask for a side of chili for my second side and boy did it taste delicious on top of my baked potato! My dad was like "wow, I should've got the chili, that looks good!" Lol. Overall a very wonderful meal with great company. If I could've had anything different, I would've asked for a table instead of a booth. I'm a big guy and those booths are a little tight for the stomach lol. They do have some tables with chairs which is a plus for anyone larger lol. Food was super enjoyable and the staff were awesome. Big Thumbs Up to who I think was the manager. We locked eyes and she gave me a thumbs up so I gave one in return and we both had a laugh and a smile from the random moment lol.

It's stood out from the very beginning & I love how much they have expanded (3 locations now -- Visalia, Tulare, Fresno). There's something for everyone on their Menu. I personally believe that they have some of the best matcha's around. BUT... if you drink your matcha with LOTS of sweetener, you probably won't like a real matcha from here -- I say this because some will complain that it taste like GRASS... and well, it damn near is (green tea leaves) lol--all jokes aside, their drinks and food are all hand crafted and all made and / or roasted in house!

This was a Huge plus for me, because sometimes I like to ask the employees for their recommendations or personal favorites! They usually end up being pretty darn good Their pop tarts... if you can get them when they have them.. TRY THEM OUT!! Actually, all their pastry's and breakfast items are delicious!

You find it because someone told you about it, or because you were looking for a place that feels a little more city than Central Valley. Brick walls, hanging art, a patio out front call it rustic, call it urban, call it hipster. Whatever the word is, it fits. Inside, the place hums. Not the quiet hum of a sleepy café, but the full‑volume buzz of people who treat coffee shops like co‑working spaces. The whole back section was a sea of laptops when I walked in, a slow tide of remote workers drifting out as the hour passed. Young folks, older folks, groups talking over each other a mix that tells you this spot has become a kind of community hub, even if the noise makes it hard to read without noise‑canceling buds. I came for a simple moment, a London Fog and a book. The tea was good, made with Rishi, a brand I'd never heard of but wouldn't mind trying again. I sipped it slowly, trying to sink into the page, but the chatter kept pulling me back to the room. Not a bad thing, just not the right place for quiet reflection. Some cafés are built for solitude; this one is built for motion. The staff was friendly, your standard modern barista crew, casual, quick, and easygoing. They run a tight operation, even offering mobile orders, something you usually see in bigger industrial coffee spots. Pastries, sandwiches, teas, espresso, the menu covers all the bases. Finding the entrance was its own adventure. Two doors, a divider in the middle, and a moment of "Wait... which side do I go through?" Not a dealbreaker, just one of those quirks that makes you laugh once you figure it out. Lighting is interesting here, low lamps mixed with a flood of natural light pouring in from the center of the shop. It gives the place a warm‑meets‑industrial feel, like a café that grew out of a warehouse and decided to keep the personality. Will I come back? Maybe. It's a great spot for people‑watching, conversation, or getting work done. But for reading, for sinking into a book with a drink, it's a place that demands either silence from the world or silence from your earbuds. Component Coffee Lab is loud, lively, and loved, just not quiet. And maybe that's the point.
