“I tried the Dungeness Crab Panini it was amazing! I also tasted the triple Cuban, tuna, and turkey bacon avocado. The fries were perfect seasoned with a nice crisp bite and soft potato-y center. My personal favorite was the sample of the potato salad. I love potato salad just the way my mom makes it, but there’s a new salad in town. Focaccia’s potato salad is to die for! Try this gem!“

“The flavors here are amazing, everything from the salsa to the meals. The people here were super friendly and helpful, especially hours into our road trip with two babies. The quesobirria was one of the best I've had and the enchiladas roja were bold and spicy. So glad we stopped by!“

“I can't believe I've never tapped into the spot before. First time but definitely not the last time. Fish basket was on point and definitely have to go back to check out the rest of the menu. And you ever spent more time driving and eating because the passengers can never decide what they wanna eat? I got your fix right here. Jay and Amber got something for everybody. Literally! Thank you WD for the great food and excellent service. Now when you coming to Clovis? Praise God!“

“exelente service great quality food“

“Great location. I've eaten at a ton of them... But this one had really good quality, beyond the normal standards. It was also a little less crowded, which may have been a factor. Either way, good food and quick service when we went. That's a win in my book.“

“Friendly services with great price. my best buy 1 get second one 50% OFF during Happy Hour“

“waited over an hour for our food - all we ordered were nachos, chicken tenders, fries and a sandwich. there were literally 2 other tables besides us and they already had their food. server wasn't even apologetic or anything. finally had to get my nachos to go : menu said beef nachos. more like canned chili nacho with little to no "beef". not worth $13 by a long shot. never going back. DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!!“

It's a perfect spot for a relaxing meal with family or friends. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great food and a pleasant dining experience!“

“Here on business. This is a must go to on your visit to Fresno.“

“Cool little bar. Nice location since there is a need in that area. They wouldn't let us in with our water bottles tho, which is understandable, but also probably not a place I will frequent if that has to be a set rule. Must have some youngsters in there. We too old for that college bs lol“

“Had a wonderful time. Great service and great food!“

“Good quality food and a good price. The Tap House at Sierra creates a lively atmosphere with several event nights such as Mon night Bingo, Tue night trivia, and occasional tap takeovers from local breweries. The service is great and everyone is friendly.“

“First time here and my daughter and I liked it, I will say though that the ring of hard melted cheese on top of the loaded fries isn’t possible to eat especially using flimsy plastic forks so I might suggest switching to a cheese sauce instead but other than that everything tasted good.“

“I love the outdoor patio seating. There is a huge fountain in the center of the patio, large plants all around, and it has a ‘Paris Cafe’ feel. The staff is so friendly and welcoming, and the food arrives quickly and hot. The food presentation looks like it came from a travel magazine. The food is reasonably priced, for the amount of food that you get. The food is delicious every time. Everything on the menu is delicious! I would highly recommend the Breakfast House. They make the best Belgian waffles in town and they use fresh strawberries, whipped cream and cinnamon sugar dust! The bacon is crispy and savory and the eggs are fluffy and rich. The crepe eggs Florentine were delicious as well! They also have a full bar, so you can enjoy a mimosa with your brunch!“

“Their food is amazing! 😀“

“The food is incredible. The drinks even more so! We really enjoyed meeting Brody and the service experience he offered was top tier. Definitely one of our new haunts. Having moved from Dallas, we are on the lookout for great places to eat and experience the community. Five stars all around!“

“good choices and friendly staff“

“Some of the best food you’ll find in Fresno it’s a Galactic at best the fresh fish, the joint the fried green tomatoes, the meatloaf, the fried chicken the smothered pork chops are all over the top the greens potato salad, mac & cheese sweet potatoes, string beans some of the best side you’ll ever have This is a restaurant that serves brilliant well executed very flavorful food. The owner Chef Paul is beyond reproach when it comes to cooking technique he’s one of the very best in the San Joaquin Valley. In my opinion he rates right up there with the owner of the ripe tomato Rudy Paul does not get any better. You want good food you want solid food you want tasty food you come to this restaurant.“

“My wife and I went there for Monday night football and we love the atmosphere the food and the staff just found out this place existed and we are already planning a weekend brunch trip because that menu looks awesome“
