    They have a drive thru and another drive thru for online orders. No dining areas inside or out. They do have a toilet in the rear. The guy that was at the window both times was nice. We were looking for a fast food place to eat, on the way to Fresno. I don't know why this caught my eye on my yelp search. Was not let down. My wife likes "impossible burger" better than other plant based options. My daughter liked the seasoned fries. We all loved the sweets. So much we went there on the way home. My wife wishes they had one by us.

    Kid size burger, kid size fries, no drink. $14.71 Never again
    Jaye W.

    Paid $14.75 for a burger and fries. The size of the meal was kid sized. No drink.... Never again. Should have went to in N out. Service was cool. Food portion for that amount made me upset. Taste was ok... still, won't be back because of the price. And I asked for no onion no tomatoes. Guess what I got... onion & tomatoes. Hard pass

    When you say Western, wow, YUM is the first thing that comes to mind. The Western hamburger at Shake n Buns is absolutely unbelievable. Hands down, it's the best Western barbecue sandwich I've ever had. The flavors are bold and perfectly balanced, the smoky barbecue sauce, melty cheese, and crispy onion rings come together in a way that just works. Every bite is rich, satisfying, and packed with that classic Western-style punch. The seasoned fries deserve their own shoutout too, crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and seasoned just right. They're the perfect side to an already knockout burger. If you're craving a true Western-style burger that delivers on flavor and quality, Shakes n Buns absolutely nails it. I'd go back for this sandwich alone without hesitation.

    Ahhhh Shake N Buns!!! I have to say i've been to a lot of local burger places here and the same thing usually happens they absolutely rock it the first few times, I do a 5 star review then right after that Boom! They just take a dump just like that it's like that movie groundhog day! Lol So I thought ok this time i'll wait a while to do a review and test them. Well i crave Shake N Buns wayyy too often! Like i can see this becoming an issue for my ass haha!! Keep that booty voluptuous that's what their food will do! Geez! Perfect every time! Omg why and how is it so damn delicious! I'm giving a big ass 5 stars because ohhhh let me tell you the ways!! Double classic and double classic bacon jalapeño cheeseburger is my favourite burgers. They're not huge but they are the perfect size not to big where you feel like a stuffed piggy and not too small where you say well damn i shoulda gotten 2 Lol! Just perfect. Seasoned deliciously, juicy, perfect amount of toppings god why am I salivating thinking about them! Oh god their buns so soft, supple and that first bite makes you say ahhh yeah that's it.... Fries!! Ok they have this special it's the double classic combo $8 you get burger, regular fry and a drink well that regular fry is big!! And man those fries!! Crispy crinkle cut fries done right every time!! That seasoning oh god it's like crack! I tend to dip them in their homemade ranch and ketchup alternating you know to keep it interesting haha! Onion rings oh lordt!! Crispy, not greasy, tender never pulls out! ;) LMAO at that sorry my mind is a weirdo! Anyway you know of an onion ring isn't cooked properly you bite into it and the whole damn onion just comes out with that bite? That's a sign of an undercooked ring probably floppy internal breading and still crispy onions at the same time. Here it's literal perfection!! Oh that sound definitely asmr to your own ears every bite! Dip in that ranch and you have bliss!! Swirls...Do yourself a favour and get one idk what kind of ice cream they use. It's so silky smooth like a fat ass rich custard! Recently my son ordered the pumpkin pie one and OMG!!! I'm so glad i was only allowed a few bites because wow!! I think that's one of the best ice cream treats i've ever had!! They too fresh made pumpkin pie and swirled that into the ice cream! Topped it with thick homemade whipped cream and cinnamon. GASM!! Don't sleep on their shakes or swirls you will be sorry! There's more i've had here you can't go wrong with anything but these are my top fav's from here. They also do a vegan menu which i will try very soon!! Next time i'll get pics of the onion rings and fries sorry i just wanted to stuff my face Lol! Never have they messed up an order like other places. Service is always quick. It's clean and just a little drive thru. Employees are super nice as well. This is the only location i go to. I just felt they deserved an updated review since i often come here when I'm craving or just having a down day and need some naughty comfort food. Honestly i crave this more than In N Out there i said it!! Still love me some In N Out but damn this place hits every single time for me!! You guys Rock!!!

    I've eaten here a few times, but I've been eating vegan for the last few months and I know they have some of the best vegan selections. I love that this place has a walk-up window or you can go through the drive-thru. This time I paid online and picked up at the window and the service was fine. There is not a lot of seating, so be prepared to take your order home. Will definitely come back!

    Spicy Chicken Sandwich - raw
    Lanea H.

    Waited over 30 min from the time we pulled in. Figured food was being cooked and it was going to be worth the wait. Well, ended up getting undercooked chicken sandwich - which ruined the meal.

    Customer service and double cheese burger were good :) drive through didn't take too long.

    Free yelp check in icecream cone!
    Iris A.

    On a holiday night, we had a deliciously gluttonous meal on our road trip from California to Vegas. We're so glad it was open! We had a California burger which had an avocado & big piece of bacon, grilled chicken salad, captain. Crunch shake, and a icecream cone which came with a yelp check in. Paid ~$30. The food has some amazingly larger pieces of meat and tasted good. I like how everything is not perfectly shaped like other fast food restaurants which shows its authentic (and I think a local franchise?).

    Was looking for a new place to try after work and I have passed this place many times and decided to stop and give them a try. Ordered a cheeseburger and chili cheese fries and was really good. And was also reasonably priced. If you are driving down white lane stop and give them a try. They also have lunch specials

    I love the vegan options they have here. The milkshakes are delicious. Meat eaters had a ton of options and the people in my group said it was delicious too.

    Drive thru only. Really good burgers. Pricey but good. Lots of fries. Loved that they have a variety of vegetarian options.

    Juicy juicy hot burgers!! This place really hit the spot! I was craving a delicious burger on our drive back to the OC and found this fast food burger drive thru right off the freeway. They offer yummy burgers and also vegan burgers to choose from and best of all they have all kinds of delicious shakes! I orderd the Hot mess which had tons of spicy jalapenos yum! (I love spicy) and it was overflowing with melted american cheese. I also had to get a shake of course so I got their Oreo mint. The burger and shake combo along with their nice and salty fries really made my meal complete. The shake was also perfect, it tasted more like ice cream and the mint was not too overpowering. This is a drive thru only burger place but they do have some seating outside and a walk up window to order. Since this was dinner on our long drive back home from up north we decided to just eat in our car. Its been a while since I have eaten a burger meal in a car but it was super fun and this place was super yummy. Now we know where to stop for a great burger meal whenever we are on the road.

Every time I have visited during brunch hours they were not that busy, I noticed that towards lunch time it gets pretty busy, so if you're curious about this place then I think the best time is around 9am-1pm ish from my experience. I didn't know how to feel when they transitioned Vita Vegan out since I had absolutely loved Vita Vegan, but so far the change has been great. Our whole office recently came to have lunch and staff was super friendly. Our server was very pleasant and we had no wait time; however, we came during lunch rush so it took a little time to get our food which is fine since our whole office came out together as a team. I don't have a favorite yet, but I have not had a bad experience. Everything we have tried so far has been delicious and they give large portions so you can have your leftovers later. Restroom was clean which is always a plus and is a good sign of a clean restaurant. If you haven't stopped by yet, this is your sign to go check them out! The prices are really good and not expensive, food is delicious, staff is great and the restaurant is clean!

We walked in without a reservation at 11:15 on a Friday and were the first customers of the day. Great decor, dim lighting, vintage looking furniture which does not sacrifice comfort for artistry. Our cocktails and meals were spectacular: Botanist Fashioned: 5/5-the brown sugar cinnamon syrup added a spicy bite to each sip which was unexpected and fun. Watermelon Sugar High:4/5-refreshing with watermelon juice freshly made in house and an ice cube with mint frozen in it. Seared cauliflower: 4/5-great appetizer for 2.

I hear the burgers here are very good and seen a lot of people with the burger in their hand mostly construction workers that were there at the time .The portions were smaller than I expected for a country cafe, but just enough to almost leave us satisfied. The coffee had a unique taste. I wasn't a fan at first, but after my second cup, it really grew on me and turned out to be a very good cup of coffee. Be sure to arrive before 9:30 a.m. because they can run out of biscuits by then. We arrived at 10:15 and by time they took our order we were told they were out of biscuits. The dining room is also small, seating only about 20 people at most. Carla's Cafe is a little out of the way for me, and probably for most people, but it's well worth the trip. Overall, I'd give Carla's Cafe 4 out of 5 stars. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying a few more entrees.

One of our teachers at school entered a drawing for a free catered lunch from Locale Farm to Table, and we were so lucky to win! The drawing was the owner Heather's way of giving back and showing her appreciation for teachers. She was especially touched by our teacher's story, which made the win feel even more meaningful. Many of us who work at the school already dine at Locale and absolutely love the food, so we knew we were in for a treat. Heather brought some of their most popular dishes, including a hot honey goat cheese spread with Pyrenees bread, roasted butternut squash and Brussels sprouts, a fresh garden salad, and a chocolate and strawberry pastry for dessert. Everything was absolutely delicious! What really stood out, though, was how much thought Heather put into making sure everyone could enjoy the meal. She heard that we had some vegetarians among us and went above and beyond by preparing additional dishes without bacon so everyone had plenty to eat. That extra touch meant so much and really showed how genuinely caring and thoughtful she is. Having this incredible meal right before the first day of school was such a special treat. Teachers and school staff work incredibly hard, and feeling appreciated in such a generous way was truly wonderful. Thank you, Heather, for your generosity, kindness, and for supporting our school community! We are so grateful, and, of course, already looking forward to our next visit to Locale!

The lettuce looked crisp and fresh and the fish was poking out of the sandwich which means good portions. But the fish was a bit dark, suggesting either old or dirty grease or cooked too long? Either way it was bland. I ended up having to douse it with a mixture of tarter, malt vinegar, ketchup and Tabasco sauce. I feel as though since this is a fish restaurant that is from the coast, the fish should be their best dish. But this is twice now that it has failed to impress me.
