About Bishop Farms

Bishop Farms, located near Bishop Ranch Lake, is a popular spot for lunch, often busy with employees on break and passersby. The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating, with a simple ordering process at the register. Prices are reasonable, with meals such as the tri-tip salad and plate costing $12 each and served in large portions. The tri-tip is described as good but plain, with cooking times that can vary. The Vietnamese salad was considered bland by one reviewer, with a sauce that didn’t quite match the dish, while the tri-tip sandwich was praised for being cooked perfectly.

The menu changes slightly each month, offering healthy and filling options that can sometimes be bland or unseasoned. Some reviewers recommend asking for no sauce, as it may not complement the food well. The basmati rice is a popular side dish, often mixed with soup for added flavor. The space is great for working or studying, with plenty of seating and a relaxed atmosphere.

Recent reviews mention the tri-tip for $13, served with garlic potatoes and broccoli, with the beef cooked about medium and having some kick in the sauce. The portions are considered so-so, and the food comes out quickly, often pre-made. The broccoli is nicely roasted but slightly yellow, and the garlic potatoes are described as meh. Another reviewer enjoyed a chicken cobb salad for $14, with a large portion enough for two, and a white chocolate cookie. They appreciated the lake view and wished the place was open on weekends.

Overall, Bishop Farms remains a well-priced option with friendly service, plentiful seating, and a laid-back environment. It's good to know what to expect in terms of seasoning and flavor, but the quality and atmosphere make it a favorite for many.
