“We ate outside on the patio and had a very relaxing meal. The mushroom bruschetta was amazing, as were the grilled shrimp. They have a great selection of local beers and wines, and a killer 20 year old tawny port. Our favorite dish was the mixed berry cobbler.“

“considering the place updated, or fancy and painted in horrible colors the food was surprisingly amazing. Wasn't fond of having to stand in line to order and pay before getting served and then wait to be seated, very strange way of doing things, but the food was amazing...“

“The entire crew has always been so good to Katie and myself their quality, service are always so great, treating us like family and making us feel so welcome. The food is as good as it gets, Rod , Dune and all are so nice. Their just good people.“

“I try to visit Willows On Maim as much as I can afford it's a delightful local spot that offers much more than just great coffee. From the moment I walked in, I am charmed by the cozy atmosphere and friendly staff.The Iced coffee at Willows is truly exceptional. But what sets this place apart is its food menu. Willows offers a range of delicious options, from hearty breakfast sandwiches to fresh, vibrant salads.It's the kind of place where you can savor a superb cup of coffee, enjoy a tasty meal, and feel like part of the family all at once. I'll definitely be returning for more of their coffee and warm hospitality.“

“Wow! We just happened into Renegade today, and I am so glad we did. The patio was super cute, and very dog friendly. I was also so excited to see how many good gluten free options there were...and they actually tasted good! Their wines are equally as delicious...my favorites were the Pinotage, Tempranillo, and Mixed Breed Red. The service was awesome, and everyone is super friendly. We will definitely be back on our next trip!“

“Top notch establishment in all regards! A round of applause to the Chef and kitchen team, the menu options are broad yet cohesive and the execution of the food is exquisite! We enjoyed every single item from the soup of the day to the entrees to the delectable desserts!The atmosphere is classy in a casual way, feel free to dress up or just be comfortable. They have a fun bar area with a TV and plenty of great bourbon and other spirits, the menu of cocktails is a great mix of custom, classic & creative. And their dining area includes a lovely fireplace, mountain style architecture with distressed brick, love it!Service is fast, friendly and enjoyable, from the hostess, to the servers to the bar tenders, great all around!!“

“We've been excited to visit this relatively new place for months. Pioneer is only a 10 minute drive up the mountain (North on Hwy CA88 from Pune Grove). Impressed from the moment we pulled into a recently renovated campus consisting of a motel & the restaurant. Clean and fresh were my first thoughts as my grandson & I parked comfortably in the front. Upon entering, "Dining" was our destination as we proceeded forward, passing a sign for "Bar" to our right. It was a Friday late afternoon, and the festive yet contolled libation was underway as the end of the week celebrating was underway. Happiness surrounded us as we proceeded down the hallway to our dining destination. We were there for a late lunch, knowing we missed the busy time hours before. Greeted pleasantly and seated right away to dig into the menu that had many appetizing and familiar names. We kept it simple... we were there for "fries and milkshakes." These were our go-to when rating grandson approval destinations. Unfortunately, our host informed us right away that "shakes" were part of their future plans but not available at this time. No problem, my grandson reviewed his kids' menu, I the adults', Fish 'n Chips were chosen by both of us. Huge portions were served to us rapidly, and we indulged our time in glee; outstanding food. Our service was friendly, informed us well with answers to our questions, and shared in neighborly conversation that reminds us why we like this area so much.The atmosphere was clean, beautiful, and inviting. There's a newness to our surroundings with an obvious attention to detail. Great view of a meadow surrounded by a Pine tree Forrest. Again, it seemed fresh and peaceful, gazing out the windows anticipating the 4 seasons of change. We talked about returning and bringing the family with us; the breakfast menu looked intriguing! Prices were average, maybe on the high side, but isn't everything these dates.Kid-friendliness: The kids' menu had large portions :)Wheelchair accessibility: Yes and easy to navigate throughout“

“This restaurant is located in the back of the casino: walk through the casino then head to the right and there will be elevators in the back right - take the elevator up to the 2nd floor and the restaurant is that entire area when the elevator doors open! We make a reservation on Open Table in advance and got seated right away. They are only open for dinner. The menu is varied and plentiful! The favorite things we ordered were: - 10/10 Fresh Hearth Baked Bread with whipped sea salt butter & garlic herb dip = a bummer the bread ins't complementary ($7) but the taste was 10/10 - 10/10 Prime Rib = delicious and perfectly cooked with a side of baked potato and veggies - 10/10 Prawn Scampi Fettuccine: lemon wine pan sauce with house made lemon pepper pasta and spinach = delicious and very flavorful - 1/10 House Made Potato Gnocchi = my Dad is Italian and was very disappointed that this gnocchi was fried and served dry like a tater tot with zero sauce which was quite unlike the gnocchi he is used to - this was more tater tot than pasta but our wonderful waitress was nice and brought us sauce (that still didn't make it taste better) and finally just took it off our bill so we didn't have to pay for it That brings me to service: The service is outstanding! We had Jennifer C as our server and she was very attentive, friendly and really made us feel valued as customers. The ambiance was nice and they have both tables and big booths. Overall it was a delicious meal and this is the nicest restaurant in the area in our opinion.“

“Very happy with our last several visits. Everything has been fresh, flavorful, on time and service is good! It's a little bit pricey so when we have a large group, we go to Perko's. But the Highway House has a cleaner atmosphere and fresher food.“

“Had a bday party there recently. On a karaoke night. It was wonderful. I bought food to take home and it was scrumptious. Had breakfast couple weeks ago and for the money it was a lot of food. I'll be back Indeed. Bartenders and cooks ate so sweet and appreciative of the business you give them.“

“Had lunch here on 12/5/2023. Ordered the Special "Sausage Omelette w/Biscuits & Gravy". Superb! The omelette was perfectly cooked, full of a particularly good sausage, with diced green bell peppers and tomatoes. The tomatoes were dry and not wet or soupy. The best surprise was the very tasty biscuits and delicious, light and well seasoned gravy. The best meal I've ever had there! I never ever order biscuits and gravy - but I won't make that mistake again!“
