    Sandwich's & burgers - menu
    Joe B.

    One of my favorite spots in Merced. We have been going here for years and years. Even after the transfer of ownership, nothing changed (In a very good way) The breakfast here is awesome. My go to dish is either the tuna sandwich on sourdough or any of the smokehouse bbq options. The service great, however it's not the quickest place in town. The ambiance is fantastic, old school / hometown diner. It's like stepping back in time and it feels great. Check it out.

    Walking in to pick up!

    1/21/25 Getting lunch! BBQ chicken & ribs plate ordered with extra chicken., extra BBQ sauce, an extra roll and onion rings ordered. The worker was kind and said it would be ready in 10 minutes. I went in to pick it up shortly later. Restaurant is Lunchtime! Order split. It came with veggies and baked beans too! BBQ chicken was tender & DELICIOUS! Same with the rib! GREAT! Baked beans were tasty! Veggies were fresh and great! Garlic roll & rice pilaf were Great too!! I had 1 onion ring and it was crunchy & Delicious too! Mother said hers was Great and she really liked the tender meat!! Lots of leftovers! Good service & GREAT lunch! Highly recommended!

    We chose Rainbird for our Galentine's celebration on Sunday, 2-15-26. We had reservations at 12:30…read morepm. We were met by the greeter who proceeded to tell us to wait to be seated. The restaurant was not very busy and it took almost 20 mins just to be seated at our table. We then took our place at the table and we waited another 10-15 mins for someone to wait on us. We kindly flagged the young male server there and asked him if he could get our server to assist us. The young female server finally came out to assist us - she was not very welcoming but proceeded to take our drink order. It took almost 15 minutes to get our mimosas and water. She did not greet us, inquiry if it was our first time there or gave us suggestions on the menu. She then proceeded to take our order which took a while to get our food. The plus - everyone enjoyed our meals from the way they were prepared to the ingredients. No one ever came to our table and gave us any water nor did they ask for a refill on our drinks. During this time I peeked around the corner and saw staff just sitting in the back talking to one another. I tried to keep the experience positive for my group of friends but they were also growing concerned about the lack of hospitality. The lunch schedule was only until 2 pm but because of Rainbird's delay in seating us, taking our drink orders as well as the slight delay we felt we were now being rushed to finish our lunch, I also wanted to celebrate our friend's birthday and I brought a cake - the server proceeded to tell me it would be a $5 charge per person if I cut the cake there. She did offer to bring a complimentary dessert for our guest of honor. In my opinion, due to the service we were not receiving the cake fee should have been at least discounted or offset due to the lackluster enthusiasm and service. As we were trying to finish our lunch and take pictures at this beautiful establishment we could see the "side eyes" of staff rushing to get us out the door. I am a firm believer of supporting small businesses in Merced since I was born and raised there and let's face it - Merced has very limited fine dining and we wanted to do something nice for us. In order for small businesses to thrive in this town they need our consumerism to stay in business. As I read from all the exemplary reviews on this platform we unfortunately had a very bad experience with this lovely establishment. A group of us came from Madera so that we could meet our gals from Merced as a middle location. Needless to say we were very disappointed with the service as well as the treatment we received from Rainbird. Next year we will choose another location for our next gathering. Please do better Rainbird.

    Wow! Where do I start? I contacted Bella Luna for a group reservation for my the parents of my…read moreson's water polo team. We were all visiting from out of town and there was a group of 38 of us. I called and left a message and Giancarlo called me back right away. Giancarlo is an amazing owner/manager and helped set up our amazing experience. We were able to sit in the back room on 3 separate tables. Our original group grew from 30 to 38 and they were still able to accommodate us. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful - exquisitely decorated with an Italian grocery store next door. I love this! You can dine and shop in their amazing little store! Our dinner was absolutely delicious - I ordered the margherita pizza and my husband ordered the gorgonzola and fig pizza. Of course I didn't get any pictures because I ate it too quickly and was having too much fun! Our servers provided us with the best customer service and took such great care of us. They were so patient with our large group and truly treated us like family. I want to thank Giancarlo and his wonderful staff for the excellent service and food and helping our team's parents enjoy a wonderful time together. It was so memorable and we will always be grateful for this phenomenal experience! I highly recommend Bella Luna if you are in town and want some delicious Italian food and feel like a VIP. The servers and their amazing customer service are one of the biggest reasons I would come back again and again!

They were so pleasant, even though they worked on their day off. We had a soup, salad and sandwich buffet that was delicious. The include some great cookies.
