Mozzarella sticks are always a must. We got the mango habanero wings and those were also spicy and sweet. Everything was a 10/10 The lady marmalade is a must try if you like a sweet savory seltzer.

Lean up after them. She gave great explanations of specials and really was quite welcoming and a believer in the beverages and food items sold. 5/5 rating for customer service!! The food was typical bar fare for me. But she made it taste better! I will say whoever was frying the food not only had the perfect temp on the fried food choices but also perfect timing. Everything was super crunchy and perfectly salty! This is hard to do, definitely wasn't expected at all place like this!!! Perfectly frying and salting food 5/5 She recommended the pomegranate beer and it was delicious!! It was crisp, floral, lightly sweet, bubbly and everything she promised it would be!! We ordered several items to share. All items ordered were based off her recommendation.. Wings: Fried to perfect texture.. flavor was ok.. the texture made them taste better!!!!! Fries: perfectly crispy on the outside stood up to both time and being dipped while remaining crunchy!! Perfectly salted also! Nothing sucks more than getting a fry that isn't salted! Italian nachos: we were all hesitant about this order. The pesto was a perfect addition it it was actually delicious! I've made this at home since!! Would I return? Her customer service knocked it out of the park for me! The place was incredibly busy and she multitasks like no other! She didn't forget a single thing, was hustling and kept the place very clean all by herself! The perfect fry for average flavor food made it better!!! HELL YES!!

Second Son continues to evolve into Rancho's favorite brewery. They've streamlined the experience…read moreby closing the extension and food service to focus on what they do best--great beer. Their beer selection keeps getting better, and they've also expanded their non-alcoholic options, which is perfect if you want something delicious without the guilt. If the munchies hit, you're covered. The popcorn machine is usually running, along with Bobby Salazar salsas and chips, plus a basket of assorted snacks. They even have a small selection of sodas if you've got kids with you. Tonight they hosted a food vendor, and the asada quesadilla was amazing. We also tried the spicy pickle michelada--yes, we were skeptical too--but it was so good we ended up having three each. Love watching Second Son continue to grow and evolve.

I have tried just about 80% of the menu and it just about hits the spot every-time. The drinks from C&W are made right here in the Central Valley and are very creative on top of tasting great. The staff is always super nice, they have a line system, so you're not flagging the bartenders down, they have board games to play and special events like Karaoke in addition to the local food trucks right beside the C&W building. During the hotter month, they make some of their best handcrafted drinks as slushies, if you ever get the chance to try them, ...jump on it. Parking is a bit nutty due to the placement of the building, but I pinky promise it's worth it. They are family friendly, and I always see little one's chit chatting with their family.

Today my sister and I had a very disappointing experience at BarrelHouse in the RiverPark plaza…read more A waiter named Donald, who later identified himself as an assistant manager, approached us and accused us of drinking outside liquor. When we explained that we had not consumed anything, he became verbally rude and even used profanity toward us. The situation escalated unnecessarily, and despite us remaining calm, he called security. We asked to speak with a manager, and while most of the staff behind the bar were not helpful in deescalating the situation, one (male) bartender did inform us that the manager was arriving. When she did, she handled everything professionally--she quickly recognized we were not being confrontational and asked security to leave. She was calm, understanding, and respectful, which we truly appreciated. Unfortunately, due to this experience, we will not be returning. I'm sharing this so others are aware, as no one should feel uncomfortable or disrespected while simply trying to enjoy their time out. Fresno CA, in the RiverPark Plaza.

October 8, 2025 - Madera, CA…read more This was our second visit to Ficklin Vineyards -- our first being several years ago. Remembering how much we enjoyed that first experience, we decided to drive a bit out of our way to stop by again. The staff was as friendly and knowledgeable as we remembered, making the tasting experience both enjoyable and informative. The port wines were excellent, and the fact that there's no tasting fee was a nice bonus. Also, they are dog-friendly! We enjoyed the visit so much that we joined the club, which includes three bottles twice a year (April and October). We purchased the April 2025 club shipment, featuring the Special Reserve Tawny, Adagio Port Blanc, and Roriz Vermelho Ruby. We are looking forward to the October Club release. Ficklin Vineyards is definitely worth the stop if you're anywhere near Madera! (I would recommend calling to verify their hours.)
