Did a Too Good To Go order pick up. Turns out, it's their ghost kitchen, not the actual location…read more The place is hard to find since there's no signage to say where the location is. You go to a side window to order/pick up. Went up to the window, showed my order and still had to wait almost 20 minutes to get my $30 worth of food. What I got was 2 mediocre cheeseburgers that were over cooked and under seasoned and soggy. 2 bags of limp fries that were unsalted and disgusting and a bag of donut holes. Definitely NOT worth the $30, so I'm glad I only paid $10 via the app. Due to where the location is, I would never return as it's not a very "safe" area and there's no actual seating or a place to wait inside the establishment. Looking through the windows of the ghost kitchen, the inside area looks haphazard and a mess. Over-all, would not recommend. Maybe the restaurant itself is good, but definitely will never do another pick up from their ghost kitchen again.

49'er Saloon in Acton has a sign with "est. 1889" although the building in the western frontier…read morestyle seems much later. There's a down home, country feel to the 49'er Saloon subtly referring to the California gold rush days of yore. Looks like an ideal place for bikers and horse riders. Hearty grub with hints of traditional regional American cuisine and full bar where you will not leave hungry. There's a formal dining room for larger gatherings for families and friends. Great place to eat after scrambling around Vasquez Rocks, visiting Animal Tracks, or just hungry on CA 14 frwy. Just get off the Crown Valley offramp and head due south for about a mile. 1) Wild Game Sausage: Walk On The Wild Side With Jalapeño-Cheddar Stuffed Elk With Roasted Peppers & Onions. Big portion enough for 2 meals since the Elk sausage is so rich. Elk sausage is ground fine and stuffed tightly in the casing for dense, firm texture. You're getting your money's worth. The Jalapeño has a nice, warm piquancy while the Cheddar gives a dairy fermented undertone. The julienned red and green bellpeppers are pleasantly al dente; the onions are caramelized to bring out their sweetness. It's all sautéed in an agrodolce/sweet-sour sauce along with a touch of garlic. 1a) Side dish: Nice little garden salad including green lettuce, diced purple onion, chopped tomato, grated carrot. Chose blue cheese dressing to use for the "Buffalo Burger". 2) "Buffalo Burger" is extra finely ground, plush, velvety Bison meat. So when I ordered it medium rare, the patty turned out mushy. Next time, I will order it medium to firm up and give more of a chaw to the meat. Opted for two slices of not too crispy, meaty bacon. Mayo, tomato, green lettuce leaf, grilled onions, cheddar cheese, dense brioche bun. I spread on the blue cheese dressing to give a little funk to what I thought would be the blood minerality of the Bison meat. It's another substantial dish. 2a) Side dish of standard French fries which was crisp as requested although it didn't quite have that ineffable earthy, mildly sweet, potato flavour 1-2a) Allegiance India Pale Ale, Lancaster CA was a good counter to both food items. Dry, heavy bodied, fruity with scents of orange zest, lacquer, touch of cleansing acidity. 49'er doesn't leave you hungry so didn't have enough room for dessert. I took the Elk sausage home and made sandwiches for two meals. So eating at the 49'er isn't as expensive due to the big portions. 4 stars

It's been four months since our first visit to The Cowboy Tavern and we've been here at least a few…read moremore times since. I love that you can order breakfast all day. Keep in mind they close at 3. We have had many different breakfast plates, tuna melt, Ortega chill burgers, and the Chinese chicken salad. Let's start with breakfast. Huge portions, the best ham steak ever, thick and tender. The bacon is always crispy. Both the country potatoes and the hash browns are so flavorful. Oh and the biscuits and gravy are so yummy. Every burger, sandwich, and salad we've had have been delicious. The hardest part is fighting the desire to try something new because everything we have had we want again. Let's talk French fries. The French fries arrive like a small golden miracle -- crisp-edged, sunlit, audibly whispering as they spill onto the plate. They crackle when you touch them, release a sigh of steam when broken open, and taste like everything good about potatoes ever dreamed of becoming. Each one is salted with confidence, hot enough to make you impatient, perfect enough to forgive yourself for eating them all and not sharing The fries may be golden, but the staff is the real sparkle. What truly anchors this place is the people who work there. They greet you like they've been expecting you all day. They linger just long enough to ask how you're really doing. By the end of the meal, it feels less like you've been served and more like you've been cared for. Ray and Andrew served us today and I am remiss for not remembering all of the staff's names as everyone has treated us like familiar guests. Agua Dulce has a real jewel of a restaurant and if you aren't local, like us, it's worth the pretty drive.

Tucked away in the quiet charm of Agua Dulce, we decided to slow the morning down with a proper…read morebreakfast. The change of pace from the city was immediately noticeable--the open views, calm atmosphere, and small-town feel created the kind of ambience that makes you want to linger over coffee a little longer. I came in with one thing on my mind: a classic fried steak and eggs. When the plate arrived, it delivered exactly what you hope for from a hearty breakfast--crispy, golden breading on the steak, tender inside, paired with eggs cooked just right. It was comforting, satisfying, and full of flavor without being overly heavy. My girlfriend, who is expecting and arrived with a serious appetite, chose the Eggs Florentine. The dish was beautifully balanced: perfectly poached eggs resting over fresh spinach, topped with a smooth, rich hollandaise that tied everything together. The flavors were clean, fresh, and well executed. What stood out most was how fresh and flavorful everything tasted. Nothing felt rushed or overly processed, just well-prepared breakfast classics served in a setting that encourages you to relax and enjoy the moment. Between the delicious food and the peaceful scenery, the experience felt like a small escape from the everyday rush. A memorable breakfast spot in Agua Dulce. I'll definitely be making another stop here the next time I'm in the area.

Le Chêne meaning "the oak" in French has a venerable history near Agua Dulce starting off as Oaks…read moreGarage & Refreshment Stand, a wooden building, in 1917. In 1923, the familiar river rock house was erected and slowly morphed into a diner, truck stop. In 1980, Chef Juan Alfonso took over and continues to this day as a French restaurant where rustic California Oak trees dominate in the back of the property. Sunday between 2-7pm for Happy Hour is ideal for being able to nosh on small nibbles for a 25% discount at the bar. HH is also Tuesday-Friday 4:30-7pm. Only exception is on "holidays". HH: 1) Jamón Serrano: Spanish cured ham thinly sliced. Deeply red brown, meaty, with a fermented, salty sweet porkiness and bit of luscious fat ringing the edges. Cornichons, and summer ripened honey dew melon respectively added a pickled, acidic crunch, and dulcet, fruit, juciness. Not as fat marbled, plush and deeply porky as Jamón Ibérico de Bellota where pigs are fattened on forest strewn acorns, but still a nice nosh. 2) Shrimp Escoffier: Three plump, moist shrimp tail on in a creamy, buttery Sauce Velouté enriched by dulcet Jerez with its sweet, woody, oxidized fermentation. Velouté was sopped up by slices of the house Bread. Btw, Georges Auguste Escoffier (1846-1935) was a legendary French culinary artist known as "the king of chefs and the chef of kings." 3) Stuffed Mushrooms: Button Mushrooms topped with tomato tasting mostly of French thyme and whisper of garlic swimming in olive oil, baked till soft in a metal escargot pan. 1-3a) Claudia's Grenache, Reyes Winery, Agua Dulce, Ca 2014: Mellow, full bodied red, blackberry with a brown sugar toastiness due to hot summer temperatures. Lower acidity and tannins. Steve, the bartender, was very accommodating and thoughtful in a casual friendly way. When I asked for a wine recommendation to pair with the 3 dishes leaning toward a light red, he let me sample 2 wines to decide for myself. Dinner 5-9pm: 4) Black Bean Soup: Black beans are puréed in chicken broth enriched by cream. Pepped up by fresh ground black pepper. 5) Canard à l'Orange: Extra meaty, substantial duck in a well toned, solid, compact body. Duck was a touch over baked so the meat lost its lushness and dried out the duck, but still acceptable. The skin is crisped and finished in high heat with Grand Marnier orange liqueur. The sauce seems to be a combination of duck pan juices, touch of orange juice, and Grand Marnier for a sweet, citrus fattiness. Garnished with poached orange segments and refreshing orange slices. 5a) Bit over cooked, soft carrots tossed in sugar, salt, & butter. 5b) Pommes Dauphinoise: Potato au Gratin is slices of boiled potato in rich cream and well aged cheese. Touched with earthy garlic and baked to allow all the flavours to infuse. Couldn't sense a soupçon of nutmeg in Le Chene version, but decadently, very excellent. 4-5b) Claudia's Grenache 6 Soufflé au Chocolat: Fluffy, airy, slightly gooey, very chocolate forward classic French dessert. The sides of the ceramic ramekin became extra hot so the outer perimeter of the Soufflé was crispy. Watery chocolate sauce for extra chocolatiness. Overall a good, old school version of bistrot French. Hearty, cuisine bourgeoise. Staff is responsive and attempts to be proactive. I came to Le Chêne in 1987, but the food didn't impress me enough for me come back. Fast forward to 2026, Le Chêne is worth returning especially in the dark winter months when good solid food seems so de riguer. 4- stars

We started out with Happy Hour at the bar and enjoyed some outstanding food and drink. Complimentary bread and butter were served right away. Then, our appetizers came out one after another, perfectly cooked and delicious. The charcuterie plate and stuffed mushrooms were my favorites. We then adjourned to our table for dinner. The atmosphere is so elegant and relaxing in the dining room, with wonderful views of native oaks. My trout almondine was perfectly cooked and the green salad was well-seasoned. We shared a chocolate soufflé which was a wonderful sweet conclusion to the meal. Because I had eaten so much at Happy Hour, I did take part of my meal home with me. You could do worse than making Happy Hour your dining destination alone! Service was universally wonderful. Our bar server was friendly and informative about the menu items; our table server was cordial and attentive. Free parking in the lot. La Chene is truly a neighborhood gem and a great place to celebrate a special occasion (or just Friday night!) Merci.

Haven't been back here in years. I recall that we stopped going to the Backwoods Inn because it was…read moretoo "hit or miss"with the food quality. Decided to give them a try for dinner tonight (Saturday, 6/20) and the food was very good. Started off with the garlic toast which was nice and garlicky without being overpowering. Nice crunch and toastiness as it was on sourdough; the sourdough tang and garlic butter was a great match. Kiddo ordered the Alfredo with chicken. Great portion size, plenty of grilled chicken, and sourdough toast. Evidently it was good as the leftovers were boxed up and taken home and this kid almost never takes leftovers. Wife had the ribeye (medium rare - it was cooked perfectly) and the twice baked potato. I ordered the porterhouse medium rare (also cooked perfectly) with the twice baked potato. Love twice baked potato and they did a good job with them here. Both steaks were very good and the hint of mesquite was again spot on without being overpowering. All of us choose to go with the salad versus soup (clam chowder or soup of the day - corn chowder) which was fine. Nothing great, it was a salad. Typical lettuce, grated carrot, sliced cucumber, grape tomatoes with dressing (kiddo and I chose ranch whereas the wife has raspberry vinaigrette). The salads do come dressed so if you want to control the dressing, you have to ask for it on the side. My only complaint is that I forgot the steaks don't come seasoned. It is explicitly stated on the menu. If you want the steaks seasoned, you have to ask. I forgot. You can season with the salt and pepper shakers on the table but the salt doesn't penetrate the meat. That's my fault as I knew and forgot to ask for my steak to be seasoned. So no deductions for my mistake. No, they do not have Maldon's flaky salt. Again, unlike a higher class steak house where everything is a la carte, the steaks come with a potato (your choice of how you want it prepared), and choice of soup or salad. For what I may have paid for just myself at an upscale steakhouse, I paid for three albeit my child didn't order a steak. Before you criticize me and say that the quality of steak doesn't compare to a high end streak house, I agree. It simply does not. However, the quality of steaks for the price point of the meal punched above it's weight class tonight. It was a definite hit so I'm hoping to out this place back in our restaurant rotation for viable places to dine out.
