    M&M Cookie
    Hannah C.

    Most incredible chicken wrap! Mind blowing cookies. I have never had a cookie that is gooey, crispy, and delicate at once. Great little antique style shop section with very reasonable prices and very cute items. Staff is absolutely delightful. This little spot brightened our day!

    Cheese quesadilla

    Ordered the brisket sandwich with cheese and cilantro slaw, a quesadilla and cookie. Everything tasted wonderful! The staff were so friendly and helpful. I had never been to Big Creek let alone their General Store and was taking a chance. The drive from Shaver (where we stayed) to Big Creek is quite windy and a little daunting IMO. However we made it safely and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of food and warm atmosphere.

    Rancheria Mini Market - Mushroom rock in winter

    I've been returning to Lake Huntington for decades and having this mini-market in town has saved me…read moremany times. As most know, there are two stores in the area. I am happy to have them both. This is a very small mini-market/marina/gas-station store, so set your expectations on what you will find here. The big pluses of the Rancheria (AKA China Peak Marina) Mini Market are: + Friendly staff! (seriously always friendly with extra staff during prime times) + Longer, more-reliable hours + Fishing licenses and supplies + Good quality backup camping gear + Good beer + Plus the usual camp necessities of ice, milk, bacon, snacks...and 5 kinds of salsa! + The boat rental is OK too, but you need to reserve ahead, but that is for a different review. + Webcam of the lake and temp! The little bit longer story is that we had been suffering with cheap, leaking air mattresses for years. One year, one finally failed and I went to see what they had. They were a little pricey, but they were great and we still use them. They still stock a small supply of better quality necessities to save you a trip back to Fresno. Things to keep in mind about both stores: deliveries seem to arrive only 1-2 times per week for some things. Some days the fridge is pretty empty at both stores during prime season...next day, jackpot! Seems to have gotten worse over the Covid summer. If you are camping, don't let your ice run too low because both stores can run out. 5 stars is a bit much, but for a place that needs to stay in business with seasonal business, they are doing very well!

    Had a pretty poor experience with this place. I feel as though the only reason they're in business…read moreis the proximity to the local campgrounds; otherwise, the selection is very over priced and the kayak quality is sub-par. Before I get into detail, I recommend first-time campers pass this place and go to the "general store" 1/3 mile up the road. They have a more diverse array of items at similar rates, and the kayak quality is far better, although at a bit more expensive rate. Now let me get into detail. My friends and I came here to rent some kayaks for the day, and explore what the lake had to offer. We ended up getting 1 single person kayak and 1 two person kayak. We came here because it was a little bit cheaper than the resort I had previously mentioned, but it turned out to be definitely not worth it. The total damage was $160 for a half day with kayaks on the lake. My first impression of the kayaks: they literally looked like they were made out of recycled water bottles. Sitting in the kayak, there seemed to be 1/8-1/4 of an inch separating me and the water. Some of my relatives rented their kayaks from the place next door and they seemed to be in better shape, with a little less wear and seemingly better frame/material. But that's not what earned this place a one-star review. As my friends and I walked to pick up our kayaks, two gentlemen seemed to be snickering at us. These gentlemen worked for this mini-mart and we're going to escort us to the kayak. As we approached them, one man looked at my friend and said "Hey, aren't you guys on the do not rent list?" and laughed off to his friend (obviously making a blatantly disgusting and racist remark to my middle eastern friend). Shocked, I didn't say anything and proceeded to grab a life jacket. These guys had a bad attitude and kept looking at us at in a weird way as they continued to joke to themselves. When I was applying sunscreen before I stepped in the kayak, I heard a "hey, if you keep on applying sunscreen like that, you'll stay single forever!" from one of the two gentlemen. I guess this wise crack was intended to make fun of my body, pretty immature for two 40 year olds. I would feel sorry for this business if those two gentlemen represent the owners and workers of this local business. These guys were absolutely disgusting and classless individuals. Overall, I suggest you trek 1/3 of a mile down the road, where if you are a minority, the chances of you being racially harassed are much slimmer.

    Is it convenient to have a Vons in a ski town? Yes. Is it nice to have nice people working there? I…read morewouldn't know. Two trips in two days and both cashiers were about as friendly as a pet rock. Last night's guy had the shakes. Today's lady only said "would you like your receipt." The self-bagging idea is good. At least you can pack your items as you want. But. Maybe. If there was a courtesy clerk who would do it for you. Elderly couple in front of me did their own cart. Meanwhile, three associates (maybe even a manager) were living their best life near the courtesy desk. During rush hour, staff should be ready to help. Other reviews say every check stand is open. Today. Maybe 50%. Self checkout is usually a good bet, but when the line is turned and backed to past the ice cream aisle, you know it's slow going. At least the store does a great job of living up to "mountain time."

    What a disappointment to come to this store while visiting the area! The meat department is foul,…read moreselling old meat. Some meat to the point of gas release and slime? This is a public safety risk. This is no longer meat that should be sold, and should be in the garbage. Then what is the deal with no cases of water? Are cases of water not drank in this town? We needed some fruit, and vegetables. We were able to scrape up some produce. Was not the easiest because things were not getting replenished. Many holes on the shelves. We saw employees having a good time bs'ing. No manager around, Supervisor....not for me...for the employees who are messing around! Place is a hot mess, and in need of health department inspection.

    I decided to take a short motorcycle ride through the hills and one of my favorite places to stop…read moreis at the Tollhouse Market and Grill. The ride up the hill is always relaxing and scenic, at times you can see wild turkeys and other wildlife, taking the old Millerton road you ride past a property that has Bison, Alpacas and Giraffes along with horses and cattle. A ride with a late breakfast was in order so after riding through the hills it was time to satisfy my biker appetite and dig into some delicious food. As you can see I chose a hearty meal something common but still appreciated. The restaurant was a buzz with other travelers and with the TV on and conversation wafting through the air the thought of my travels around the lower 48 states occupied my mind. The service was prompt (never an empty coffee cup) and even the proprietor shared the duty of checking the customers at the counter bar (he was very cool). The decor was reflective of the years gone by and I could identify myself with some of the items seen, always a nice touch. Be sure to travel and see the these small mom n pop business you gain much more than just a good meal, included is a view to the past and maybe just maybe a glimpse of yourself back in time.

    Although a bit out of the way from town, Tollhouse Market and Grill is one of my go-to stops…read morewhenever I'm in the area! It's a small little convience store/restaurant on making Tollhouse Road with a large menu of many American and Italian cuisine classics. Everytime, you are instantly greeted with the friendly, Tollhouse charm of the staff. I would recommend calling in your order ahead of time, as it can take 10-20 minutes for it to be ready. My favorite item from them is the Reuben sandwich, a pastrami served on grilled marbled rye bread with 1000 islander dressing, Swiss cheese, and sauerkraut. The menu says that it comes with a pickle spear, but I think that I have only had that once when I dined in. It also comes with French fries that are well seasoned and crispy on the outside but soft on the inside. The sandwich is always so perfectly cooked and juicy and leaves you feeling satisfied with the portion size. Truly the best Reuben sandwich I've ever had. As much as I have wanted to try other options on the menu, their Reuben is just that exceptional that I absolutely need to get it anytime I'm near the area.
