The Third Place Global Eatery

Last night we chose this place for a long overdue family dinner and I’m glad we did. The restaurant itself is really nice. We sat inside but they have outside seating and from what I was told, a beer garden. There was five people in our group and everyone ordered a different dish. We enjoyed the Poke Nachos, the Mac (my dish that I gave a 10/10), their wings “Wingin’ It”, the Cubano sandwich, and the Pork Belly Sliders. Everyone raved about their meals and we were pleasantly surprised because the quality of the food was outstanding, the portions were perfect, and the flavor and creativeness of their dishes was refreshing. Who would have thought that a sriracha-strawberry wing sauce would go really well together? We all agreed that it’s been a long time where a restaurant impressed us and actually has us wanting to come back and try other dishes. We had the best and kindest server, Julie. She took very good care of us and the owners were very nice and funny as well! I’m not sure why this place has a 3.6 rating but it’s definitely incorrect. We can’t wait to check them out again.

I’m giving this 2 stars just because the first time we came here we just had two beers and the bartender we had was AMAZING, so we decided to come back the next day with a group of us from soccer. We asked if we could have a table moved to accommodate our large party; and we couldn’t , which wasn’t the problem, but it was the way the lady acted irritated about the question . Our party then sat there for over 10 mins without any greeting or anything from a server. We got up and left . We weren’t sure if we were supposed to order from the QR code or what: no one ever even came to greet us at our table. Bad experience , rude lady.

It's disheartening to go to a restaurant and be treated differently because we are not "regulars", or it could have been we wore the wrong skin color there was clear tactics to show we weren't wanted or not the ideal customer, we didn't even get to eat, sad to say we had to go to a chain restaurant down the street to be treated as equals.

Mediterranean tacos have a great salsa with cucumber and red onion. Sliders perfectly cooked with an amazing balsamic reduction and beautifully plated.
Vince's Bourbon burger was gigantic almost perfectly cooked with a generous amount of bacon. Vince said best tatar tots he has had in a long time great seasoning.

Great place to have a good time. We were a party of seven and all the entrees were good. It tasted fresh and everyone really liked their order. We order cubano sandwich, fire cracker chicken, fancy blt and chicken and waffle. I got the larger on tap and it was perfect.

Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheel chair accessible.

We stepped in on a Friday to see what all the fuss is about (we often see many customers there when walking by). The menu seemed a bit limited but sometimes that's a good thing (like In n Out which always has fresh food). I order my food and they say they're out of fries, which has never happened to me at any other restaurant. Surprising still since there are grocery stores around here where they can buy potatoes, guess they don't care enough. Anyway they offer me other fries like sweet potato or some other kind I reluctantly take (I don't care for sweet potato fries). My gf then struggles to find any vegetarian option on their menu. She sees only salads with eggs. That's when they tell me they aren't making salads or something. I'm like ok... So we went elsewhere. Every now and again we'll walk by and see the restaurant but don't get the urge to go back. They should be more vegetarian friendly and should never run out of the basics like potatoes. When your menu is limited you need to be stocked. The issue seems to be that their menu is constantly changing. So much so the workers can't keep track of what ingredients they're about to run out of, and especially on a Friday no less

Upon arrival, you will notice there are 3 different sections you can sit in. Main eating area, middle area and outside by where the adult refreshments are served. I ordered The Backyard Burger (17$) with a salad for my side. I had to take half of it home... I highly suggest you go check this place out for yourself!
We will be back.
Enjoy!

This place was SO good before they closed. Was very excited to go back when they reopened only to find that the entire menu had been scrapped and replaced with bar food. Incredibly disappointing trip and left after reading over the new items. Everything is coated in ghost pepper and has lost the appeal of when they first opened. Bring back the old menu!

Terrible new food concept terrible sad to see the menu from before go

Since the closure the menue changed. The food is now basically bar food.
I tried the Thai shrimp tacos. The shrimp was coated in a heavy batter which overwhelmed the delicate sauces and cilantro. The prior menue in my opinion had better options. However the pinapple whip was tasty.

French fries

Place is in a nice location and the place looks amazing. Ordered 4 items, the Lomo Saltado, Teppenyaki Bowl, Chili Prawn Garlic Noodles, BBQ pulled pork sandwich. Overall food was decent, not as good as I expected, the pulled pork is the only one I’d order again really. The Lomo Saltado was very bland and would’ve been amazing with the french fries they sell and a bit of seasoning. The Teppenyaki bowl for the price was underwhelming, the fried rice was very mushy and clumpy, and the portion was very lacking especially with the price it’s at. The Garlic noodles are good but not for $17. As for service, for the 20-30 mins I waited for my food while people who ordered way after me got their food before I got mine. There was probably 3-5 people at the front with 1 guy basically doing most of the work while the others were just standing and talking to each other. Would probably go back just to try something different and definitely for the drinks/ice cream from the other counter in the space but I was so looking forward to trying this spot.

Absolutely loved my dining experience at Third Place Global Eatery! This gem, located in the beautifully renovated historical Franco Building in downtown Clovis, offers an incredible selection of cuisines that cater to every palate.
We indulged in the Bolognese Bucatini Pasta, Teppanyaki Bowl, Coastal Tacos, Ranchera Steak Fries, and the standout dish—the Lomo Saltado (Steak Bites). Each dish was expertly prepared and bursting with flavor. The ambiance is lively and a bit on the louder side, which added to the vibrant atmosphere of the evening.
The only minor downside was the vanilla soft serve, which had a noticeable oat milk aftertaste. A dairy option would be a wonderful addition for those who prefer it. Despite this, our overall experience was fantastic, and we will definitely be returning. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
