    My friends and I came here before noon and it was pretty empty, since the Clovis Fest was right next door. They got us seated and accommodated us very quickly, we loved our waitress (I forgot her name but she had blonde hair lol). We ordered our food and we decided to try out the drink place inside: Seconds. Literally every drink we wanted was "Out of Stock." The brown sugar latte, brown sugar matcha latte, matcha oreo. Even their soft serve was out of stock, which is kind of what they promote lol. We ordered the tiramisu latte and black sesame latte - they both tasted the exact same. Very disappointing. Now for food, we got the poke nachos, pork belly fries and firecracker chicken sandwich. They were all decent, not worth the price points for either of them. The workers were amazing and kind, but this place was such a huge let down. I'd like to try their brown sugar latte one day, but for $7 for a small drink, I would be even more upset if it didn't taste good lol.

    I've seen this place come across on my social media and I'm glad it did! I went for a quick lunch and I was met with a very nice server and great food! I tried the Philly cheesesteak sandwich which I also recommend. The fries were seasoned and fried well but idk they tasted a bit sugary to me which was just a different taste. I believe the rest of the reviews mention this being a copy and paste of craft house but if I remember correctly the server did mention it was part of their added locations. I sat near the front of the restaurant for convenience but make sure to walk to the back plenty of seating inside as well as outside near the bar! Also yes check out the cafe it's well worth the dessert Would visit again and a nice place to come check out!

    First visit in Old Town Clovis at the new restaurant that opened this past May. Large indoor dining area and patio areas. There is also a beverage/tea area inside serving tea, coffee and sot serve treats. I ordered the Firecracker Chicken Sandwich which was mildly spicy and tender with a soft bun filled with ghost pepper cheese, garlic aioli, cabbage and pickled jalapeños. A side salad came with the order topped with Caesar dressing. My better half enjoyed her Crab Cakes and Greens. Our server, Jules did a great job serving our table.

    I think this place has a lot of potential but they're going to need to fine tune the details if they want to succeed. We had a group of 5 adults and 2 kids, so I understand that's a lot of food to have timed correctly, but the timing desperately needs to be improved. Fish and shrimp tacos were luke warm at best. Empanadas were hot on the outside, cold in the inside. As for flavor, I had the fish tacos. They were lacking in flavor but I think that is something that can easily be fixed. I think the biggest downside is the price for the portion. For $16, I don't think the fish tacos are big enough. Or add an extra taco, or a side of chips or slaw! I think this is might keep people from returning. The other downside was they were out of a long of things but I assume this will be figured out with time as they learn how much they need to order. Lastly, the space was very nice and the workers were friendly. And shout out to them for making, and charging appropriately, for a kids grilled cheese.

    While visiting family in Fresno, we stopped in for dinner on a very hot day during their soft opening period. This spot strays (in the best way) from my assumptions about the Fresno/Clovis area. The service was friendly and helpful. The food was very tasty. And the cocktails were refreshing. I want to go back after their grand opening to enjoy the full menu--but definitely recommend the garlic Parmesan wings, garlic fries and corn dog. While the cocktails tasted great (especially while standing under misters in 107 degree heat), I hope that the cocktail menu will be extended a bit for different types of alcohol. All in all, this feels like a convenient, delicious and must-visit place in the area. And particularly convenient when you don't want formal sit down but want something delicious and unique.

    I went to this place on a Sunday afternoon with two friends. They weren't very many people here, and everyone was incredibly kind. I really like the atmosphere, and can definitely see this place as being a cool place to hang out with some friends. I just hope they really improve the food I ordered two items, the Korean hot wings, and at the recommendation of the woman who took my order, the fish tacos. The Korean wings were pretty good. They were slightly sweet, and had a nice little kick to them. Unfortunately, they were just overpriced. $17 for a few wings that I could basically get at another restaurant for substantially cheaper. Well the flavor was wonderful, they just weren't worth $17. The fish tacos are probably the most disappointing thing that I've eaten in a while. The best part about them, was the tortilla. It tasted fresh and was a wonderful blue corn. Unfortunately, it just disintegrated after one bite. The rest of the dish lacked flavor. The fish was bland, the coleslaw was just OK, the cheese was just cheese, and the salsa lacked any real depth of flavor. I've had better fish tacos at a fast food place; and that pains me to say that. This review really makes me sad. I really wanted to try this place, and I was really excited to try things from the menu. What made matters worse was after selecting four items to order for my table, I was told all four items were sold out. The woman who helped me laugh a bit, and said that they really need to update the menu. All in all, I really really liked the atmosphere, but I was just underwhelmed by the food. Perhaps this is one of those places where I'll just go back and get a dessert.

    Plenty of seating!

    I love "the third place" concept. Plenty of parking. Upon walking in, we were greeted by staff behind a mini counter where they were awaiting to take our food order. With the decent amount on the menu you're bound to find some interest in one or a couple dishes. During our visit, we got a little bit of this and that. They definitely have something's to workout. But I'm excited to come back and try more!

    So excited to see a food hall coming to Clovis! Did you know the head chef here used to work at Elderberry House in Oakhurst?! Third Place offers a kitchen with four different concepts/menus to choose from, a boba spot in the middle, and Crow and Wolf has an outdoor bar and patio area, which is gorgeous by the way! The outdoor patio is shaded and will soon have misters for those toasty summer days. I sampled a little bit of everything during my trip here. The fish tacos, tempura waygu corndog, chimichurri steak grilled cheese, Ranchero steak fries, and a chicken empanada. My two favorites were the chimichurri steak grilled cheese and the fish tacos. First off, the pieces of fish on these tacos were huge and the breading tasty and light. That paired with the fresh veggies and salsa on top added for both amazing textures, plus acid to enhance the fish flavor. This chimichurri grilled cheese sandwich was insane! Big flavor bombs and it paired perfectly with my beer. If they ever start doing late night dining, this would be my go to. Shout out to that Tempura Waygu Corn Dog. A hearty Waygu beef dog topped with hoisin sauce and spicy mayo. I think they did an amazing job during their soft opening. As everyone knows opening up a restaurant is no easy task, especially a restaurant concept that's really never truly existed in the Central Valley. There will be a small learning curve for the customers. Happy snacking Clovis!

    Lomo saltado

    Love the ambiance and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The courtyard is where the bar is and there's a water wall and misters surrounding the courtyard. I'm not sure if the menu changes frequently but the menu was different than previous menu photos on Yelp. I'm posting the menu as of June 14, 2024. We had some seltzers from Crow & Wolf, and ordered the lomo saltado and bolognese pasta. Food seemed to come out pretty quick. Because this establishment is still pretty new, I think the servers were new too. Just little things like bringing out the food but not utensils. Food tasted great and we were so full. Almost considered getting a drink or ice cream - forgot to take a picture of that menu. Will be back again!

    Burger and fries

    New place in old town Clovis. Newly redone building. You order food at the first station when you come in. They give you a number and you pick your seat. They have another station for drinks/coffee/tea/ soft service ice cream and another station serving Crowe and Wolf beers. I ordered the chicken teriyaki bowl. It consisted of mostly fried rice with some slices of chicken thigh meat on top with cold cucumber and carrots and then a couple sauces. It was ok. I didn't care much for the raw carrot and cucumber on top. I would rather have some sauteed veges. My husband ordered the burger minus the egg on top ( he is not a foodie lol). He said the burger was good. The fries that came with the burger were also good. We enjoyed being able to have a Crowe and Wolf beer along with our meals. Service was pleasant. We went at 4:30 on a Wednesday so no problem with waiting. All in all I think I might have to go try something else to form a final opinion, but so far the price to satisfaction ratio is a little lacking.

    So worth the wait to open! I came in on a Friday of their soft opening week at 3 and it was perfect timing. No line and the place was about half full. I ordered the pork Belly bao bun and it did not disappoint. I was starving and that was the perfect amount of food. It came in at 10 min for the wait. The staff were friendly and it was easy to navigate the place as I wasn't sure if there was more than just the front order area where you can choose from four different menus. I look forward to trying out all of the food. I'll definitely come back! Modern and clean decor with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Lots of parking in the lot and on the street. For those of your that bike, they have a place to lock them up!

    First things first, ordered Ranchera Steak Fries.. it had me at skirt steak, fries and gauc. You are given a number once you order, and when your meal is prepared... a server will find where you're sitting and will bring your food. Its pretty straight forward. Once I ordered, it gave me an opportunity to walk around.. to my surprise the seating isn't just in the front and outside near street parking.. you walk towards the back and there's even more seating and out door seating! There's also a cafe called Seconds where you can order boba, tea, coffee and soft serve! I don't say no to a refreshment... especially on a warm day. And I have to say this place had excellent customer service. The girl at the cashier was so helpful, explained the different flavors... I ended up getting a Pear-dise Tea (not on the menu). It was so tasty and flavorful, with strawberry pieces. With my drink in hand, I was waiting for my food... service was a bit slow. I would say my Ranchera Steak Fries was pretty good! I like my fries on the crispy side and it sure was! I did think it came with a lot of steak! Overall tasty! -- I would order this again! However I did ask for some condiments... the server said she would go get it... and never came back. Also, before leaving be sure to bus your own table. :)

    Third Place but should rank first place as a great spot to hangout and grub! Firstly, I absolutely LOVE the concept of this place! A lovely worker described that the name of the restaurant is named after the term "third place" coined by sociologist Ray Oldenburg in 1989, which refers to a space outside home (first place) and work (second place) where you can relax and socialize. Meanwhile, your third place is somewhere you can connect with others, share your thoughts and dreams, and have fun! And this place definitely lives up to its name as a great place to hangout, connect, and catch up! This place is a food hall with three separate vendors: a food counter; a cafe counter with boba, coffee, tea, and vegan soft serve; and a brewery counter tied to Crow & Wolf! This place has plenty of seating and has a BEAUTIFUL patio in front of the brewery area. The ordering experience is super simple, you order at the counter at the respective vendors! For the eatery, they give you a number, you find a seat, and they give you your food! For the cafe, they call out your name and you pick up your drinks at the counter. SIDE NOTE: You buss your own tables! There's a basket near the trash cans where you can put your used plates / utensils. Make sure to clean up after yourself! Stall #1 (Food stall by executive Chef Robert Vieira) 〰 Crispy Duck Tacos (5/5): I thought these were scrumptious! I could tell the tortillas were made in house, the duck was flavorful and cooked well, and I enjoyed the toppings. It came with a side of chips and house made salsa, and that was pretty good. Stall #2 (Seconds Artisanal Cafe) 〰 Magic Yuzu Tea (5/5) I ascended drinking this. So incredibly refreshing and not overwhelmingly sweet. Not only was it beautiful, but it was delish. 〰 Pineapple Vanilla Swirl Soft Serve (5/5): Disneyland WHO? You don't have to venture to Anaheim and spend $100+ dollars to partake in a yummy dole whip. Not to mention, it's vegan! Super scrumptious. Light, perfectly sweet, and cool for a hot summer day. 〰 SERVICE (100/5). The worker that helped us was so incredibly sweet and helpful. She was so good at giving recommendations! She asked my sister what flavors she was looking for and gave her the perfect recommendation that was off-menu. She explained that they're in their soft opening phase right now and are exploring their drinks right now and a lot of the off-menu stuff will be ON the menu by their official grand opening on June 22. I can't speak on the brewery stall because I didn't try it out but it's just to the right of the cafe with beautiful patio seating! Overall, this place rocks. Such a well executed concept and a place I would definitely recommend for hangouts! 10000% would come here again. And to think this is only their soft opening??? I can't even imagine how much better it will be on their grand opening!

    Veggie tacos-so flavorful and you feel good after eating them!

    The menu doesn't seem to include many vegetarian options. Am I missing them, or is the selection just a couple of salads?

    The Local has a ton of potential. My family and I were excited to try a new restaurant in Clovis ,…read moreand ran across positive reviews of this place. We headed in at an odd time yesterday around 230pm. It was late for lunch and too early for dinner. Nevertheless, we were seated in the front dining area, and ordered some entrees. The menu offers a lot of familiar favorites that you would expect to see at a a bar/ restaurant. Burgers, sandwiches, salads, and a few specialty plates. For my meal, I ordered The Local burger (no pickles of course) which was absolutely fantastic. Piled high with cheese, bacon, lettuce and tomatoes - this burger was executed to perfection. I ordered it medium, and it came out medium (imagine that). The best part was the sunny side egg that was placed on top. That first bite was heavenly. The yolk breaks, and all the goodness adds a little extra flavor to the already delicious burger. The shoe string fries were seasoned perfectly- I highly recommend this entree. The only thing I would add next time is an element of spice to take things up to another level. My wife ordered the BLTA sandwich , with sweet potato fries. I didn't try a bite because I had enough bacon on my burger , but I did sneak a sweet potato fry , and it was fantastic. My son order the chimichurri steak , he seemed to enjoy it although it may have had too much sauce on it for his liking. Perhaps it would been better if he ordered the sauce on the side. My picky daughter ordered the pesto chicken sandwich ,and she said it was pretty good. My family and I were full , but weren't going to let the dessert options pass us by. My family has a sweet tooth. We all shared the chocolate cake and bread pudding . Both are nice options if you need something sweet to top off your meal. The food and vibe of this place deserves 5 stars. I will deduct one star for the mediocre service and inconsistent food prep. Our meals were coming out one by one which made it awkward when trying to eat together. Our server didn't offer refills on our drinks , and didn't bring us utensils -until we asked for them. I will be back to try more menu items , and enjoy a cold beer while watching the game.
