I have ordered everything and loved it all. Perfect every time. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, delicious food and amazing cocktails. Any time I have guests visiting, we always visit Bella Brook cafe. Karaoke nights are my favorite. Thank you for always making us feel like family.

The food was good not the service could be friendlier. E we didn’t feel very welcomed and we were their first guests for the evening.

We stayed one night in room #3. It is very typical of the old motor motels. Small simple room but the bed was comfortable and the room was clean. We ate supper in the restaurant.

Asked for gluten free and of course a normal bun was on my plate. I reminded them friendly and as expected they just switched the bun but do dish again. I told them I was allergic and I’m also pregnant right now. So they chose to make me sick!

After a day of hiking in sequoia national park with minimal snacks, I am giving this place 5 stars. Massive portion sizes, lots of food comes on the plate. All you want post sweating and climbing. Cured our hangry-ness. Definitely needs some upgrading on the inside but their pot roast and chicken fried steak hit the spot.

Poor value, even considering the location. The cabins are small and noisy. Shared bathrooms = yuck! Ice machine was broken so we had the pleasure and expense of driving to buy ice. They canceled our Agoda reservation and made us rebook with them directly. At a 20% higher price. Worst stay out of all 15 places we stayed in California and Nevada from every perspective.

Ordered takeout and while the pot roast was phenomenal after a long day of hiking Kings Canyon, they forgot the dressing for both the Cobb Salad and Dinner Salad we ordered and our "loaded" baked potato came plain with just the potato and no toppings. We didn't realize until we were already at our rental house over 20 min away so there was notbing we could do and we had no dressing of our own as it was a vacation property. Very frustrating overall as the pot roast, as mentioned, was just awesome. We would go back just because of the awesome pot roast.

Absolutely terrible experience. We came here on May 1, 2024 after a tiring day of exploring Sequoia, wanting some food. It took literally over an hour for the food to come out. What's worse is the order was completely wrong. We'd asked for Chicken Fingers with Mac and Cheese and Pasta in Alfredo sauce. Instead we got fingers with mashed potatoes and pasta in marinara sauce.

It's unreal how this came out so wrong. The funny thing is it wasn't just us with this experience - there was an elderly couple who seemed to have been waiting for a while for their order, and their server came out saying "we didn't have the brownie so I brought the ice cream". The couple said we ordered the apple pie....and the server said oh we don't have apple pie. Absolutely comical, I don't know how that level of incompetence is even possible.

The food itself was digestible, but the experience completely ruined our night of just wanting to relax back at our hotel. These guys seem to have a monopoly over the area since there aren't any other food options nearby which should seriously be changed.

This place is terrible...except for the rooms, which are shabby but very clean. I was amused when I got a text saying ear plugs were available as we arrived. But after about 2 mins on the property, I understood why: Traffic noise was very loud and the rooms were only about 2 car lengths from the busy roadway. The restaurant was nice but I my heart set on meatloaf but it was gone before we got there. Chicken fried steak & fries were fine, but the green beans seemed like they were fresh...from a can. My wife had Chili but I think that was from a can also. The Michelob Ultra, from a can also, was great. I asked for a bucket of ice and the server said they didn't have ice, the machine was broken. But I noticed at least 3 ice machines in various states of repair on the deck plus several other large appliances strewn about the property. Not very appealing to the eye. The shabbiness of the room was because the floor in bathroom next to the shower was broken and seemed soggy

Everyone was so kind and we loved the food. There were condiments to build your own burger.

I can’t believe people recommend this place. I didn’t realize the cabin didn’t have bathrooms so I got a hotel room. An extra $20 for a bathroom. I feel like I should have been paid $20 to use that bathroom. The shower was gross. No vent in the bathroom so the towels got wet with sweat. There were no wash clothes & when we got some the were dingy & stained. The bedroom was so small I couldn’t fit my suitcase in there. The ceiling was bowing in terribly my kid wouldn’t sleep on the top bunk. The linens appeared clean. I didn’t see any bugs. The pilllows were as flat as a pancake. The floor was soft in spots & had holes. There was carpet covering the floor, but I’d hate to see what the floor boards looked like. There was 1 outlet in the room. The cover was cocked eye so I couldn’t charge by iPad or phone.

Went to this restaurant on 06-20-23 and posted a glowing review and planned to return the next night. OMG What happened??!! It was horrible. The spaghetti was ..... well, 1st, it was angel hair, that is not a 'spaghetti' noodle, but, could have lived with that, but, the sauce..... straight out of a jar and not even warm. It was horrible!!! and now, that it is not really spaghetti noodles, the sauce is horrible .... it is now way tooooo expensive. I asked for extra sauce, a person brought me out a bowl of cold, out of the jar, sauce. No meat in it, etc. so you could tell it was right out of the jar, but, they did not even warm it up!! Even the grilled garlic bread was different. Not even grilled done. So, the owner needs to look at who was cooking on June 20th and promote them and then see who was cooking on June 21st and fire them. So, based on the food we received on June 21st and paid over $70 for, I DO NOT RECOMMEND TO EAT HERE!! Also, the salad bar that I got, everything was soft and wilted and horrible!! You need to not have a salad bar if it is going to be stuff that is 8 hours old.--------------FOR THE JUNE 20TH, 2023 VISIT I POSTED THIS REVIEW: Absolutely the BEST restaurant Spaghetti I have ever eaten!! The marinara was perfection!! The fried shrimp were also awesome!
