50 Grand Restaurant and Bar

I hardly ever leave reviews but I feel the need to now. First off the place was nice and the staff was very friendly the food and prices on the other hand was something else all together. My wife and I were invited to a birthday party here and had no expectation of the place so when I recieved the bill I was shocked! This place gave no vibe that it was fine dining! Ordered 2 burgers one was $18 and other was $24 just for the burger...fries $6 salad $10 2 soft drinks $10 then a desert was $11 and a scoop of ice cream was $6!! The burgers had no flavor seemed like a frozen patty warm at best cold fries and the desert was a puff pastry that I could barely break up with cold apple filling. Seemed to be the theme of that restaurant because even the temp inside was cold. I dont mind paying if the food is good but an $89 check for scrappy food!? Definitely disappointing. Will not return, burgers place across the street smokes this place.

Very good -- I went with the fish & chips (my boring safety choice for trying a new diner or steakhouse) and it was not bad, I would say average to slightly above average.

My wife however order the special ---Thai Green Curry Salmon--- and it was absolutely delicious! The salmon was perfectly cooked; the fettuccine as Thai noodles was a nice touch, seasoned (and medium/hot spicy) made a superb combination of flavor.

Portions were large and the price was definitely reasonable for dinner, 🍷 drinks and dessert for the two of us.

Fun atmosphere with a nice attention to detail with the bar and restrooms, etc.

Definitely recommended

I am writing this review at a extremely fancy restaurant called the butchers cut in San Diego and their fillet mignon doesn't even come close to the one at 50 Grand!

I had dinner at 50 Grand Restaurant and Bar on a Saturday evening around 7 PM. It’s a popular stop along Pony Express Trail, with a rustic mountain-town vibe that fits the area well.

Service stood out immediately—our server was friendly and on top of things without hovering. We didn’t have to wait long for anything, which I appreciated.

We started with the calamari appetizer. It was fried just right—not greasy—and came with cocktail and tartar sauces that seemed to be house-made. Both were fresh and added a good balance to the dish. For the main course, I had the ribeye steak, which came out with clear grill marks and a solid sear. The plate included roasted potatoes, glazed carrots, and Brussels sprouts—everything was seasoned well and served hot. My girlfriend ordered the Bacon Stuffed Meatloaf, which she really liked.

Pricewise, it was a bit on the higher end for a small-town restaurant, but not unreasonable considering the portion sizes and quality. The ribeye in particular was filling and flavorful.

Overall, 50 Grand is a solid choice if you're in the area and want a sit-down meal with good service and hearty food. Worth a stop if you're passing through Pollock Pines.

Barb greeted us, and Haven was our server. The atmosphere and service were excellent! We ordered the artichoke dip and pork belly as starters, and both were so good! We were the only people in the restaurant, and it took quite a bit to get our food. My sister got filet mignon, which she said was cooked just right, but the sides tasted old and were not hot. My brother-in-law had the chicken fried prime rib, and he said it was delicious! I had the beyond burger with fries. The burger was ok, and the fries were cold. We did not notify them of the issues, so I can't update on problem resolution. Overall, I will go again.
