    What I got I even asked if they made red rice and said no

    When to try their burrito they have advertised I saw the burrito with red rice and pinto beans refried.. but it's not what I got.... 8 got white time whole blacken bean and some Grey Carne Asada

    Well, I wanted to do an update on Big Mamas in the city of Sanger. I was there a couple of weeks ago and of course, I stopped by and ordered a combination cheeseburger, fries, and drink. The prices are fantastic cheap and the food is quality you get a lot of quantity the customer service is friendly and courteous. The structure may look old and a little depleted, but the great food makes up for it. FYI I have a typo in my last review, which I've tried to edit, but for some reason, I can't, it states, "all the males" when it should say "all the meals" Sorry about that. Lol, I'll be visiting Sanger soon and will be dropping by Big Mamas.

    Tell me you're from LA, without telling me you're from LA.. I'll go first puts on a "mask" like it's the new hottest lipstick shade. Well not in Sanger's! No hate :) It was weird walking up to the establishment and actually seeing lips LOL. Deja vu pre-covid days. I'm not sure why I had this spot bookmarked, maybe from the travel channel?! Anyhoo I got a #5 combo that came with a deluxe burger, small fries and a small drink for around $7! Yes only SEVEN dollars! I don't know what their large looks like but I seriously thought they hooked me up with Large Fries and a Large drink. If this is their small, then you definitely get a bang for your buck here! Their burgers remind me of a backyard burger no frills, just the usual lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles and secret sauce (thousand island) on a toasted bun. Fries are made extra crispy (without having to ask) and seasoned with season salt. Cash is king, 50 cents charge if paying with card. Also call in your order to avoid the wait, this place gets packed!

    We visited The School House Restaurant and Tavern for dinner after a beautiful day on the Fresno…read moreCounty Blossom Trail. Located in a scenic agricultural area on the outskirts of Sanger, the restaurant is housed in an impressive original old school house. Check out the original plans of the school site and buildings posted in the interior hallway. The high ceilings and open layout make for a great atmosphere, though be warned: the noise level is quite high, as there isn't much to absorb it. Our server, Jacob, was exceptional. He was knowledgeable and friendly, and we especially appreciated that he included the prices of the daily specials upfront. Here's what we had for dinner: * Crab Fritters: Spectacular. The sweet red pepper sauce and the generous crab portions were beautifully presented. * Mixed Greens: A lesson in simplicity done right. It was perfectly dressed and easily shared between two. * Mahi Mahi: A standout special with a perfect sear and a moist center. * The Steak: Ordered medium and delivered as such, though it was a bit tough and felt "buried" under the heap of potatoes, onion rings, and asparagus. * Bari Lemon Olive Oil Cake: Do not let the name intimidate you! It was the star of the show. Moist, perfectly paired with fig ice cream, and large enough to share. The kitchen was unfortunately very slow. A large party of 20 on the patio seemed to back things up, leading to long gaps between our courses (though dessert arrived quickly). At nearly $200 for two, the pacing and the tough steak brought the experience down slightly, but the stellar service and elite appetizers/desserts still earn this a solid 4 stars.

    Thursday evenings in the bar are the best! They have live, local entertainment and yummy artisan…read morepizzas! Service at School house is impeccable.

    I've driven past this spot more times than I can count and every single time I was like... "one…read moreday." It just had that look, you know the kind of place that's either gonna change your life or ruin your afternoon. Plot twist: it changed my life. Slightly dramatic? Maybe. Accurate? Also yes. My fiancée isn't really a burger person, so getting her to agree to this felt like closing a high stakes negotiation. I finally got the green light and IMMEDIATELY knew I made the right call. I went full send and ordered a triple smash burger with loaded fries because self control does not exist when I'm hungry. And bro... this thing was DISRESPECTFUL in the best way possible. Crispy edges, juicy center, cheese melted like it had a purpose in life. Every bite felt like gluttony. The Hammy fries? Yeah those didn't stand a chance. Gone. Eliminated. No survivors. It had a effing burger patty on top. What I really liked is that it's simple but done right. No gimmicks, no trying to be fancy just straight up dialed in smash burgers that hit every time. The kind of place where you take your first bite and just nod silently like "mmhmm... yup.... That's right." Even my fiancée who came in skeptical was like "okay wait this is actually good," which is basically a Michelin star equivalent to me. If you're in Fresno and you like burgers (or even if you think you don't), do yourself a favor and pull up. Just be prepared to leave full, happy, and already planning your next visit.

    Slow the brakes!!! Today was my second time here but the first time, the gentleman at the cash…read moreregister said I was gonna love the burger and he wasn't lying!! I mean it has some good flavor, isn't overfilling and they got some great fries to follow up with. The are has a drive-thru followed by a few tables for people to eat at outside of the building. I give this place a 5 because this burger stop is more than just a burger stop and to call it a " hole in the wall " hurts, especially with the caliber for food this place is pushing out. It's gets a 5 for competing with other business and still remaining, and I'm sure it still remains because of that some burger and bun they serve it with. Oh yeah don't forget to try the sauces.

    opens at 5am which already makes Burger Stop and Grill a different kind of spot. early morning…read moreburger? yes actually, and it works. been here a few times now and the food is consistently solid. the burgers are straightforward and done well, good meat, good toppings, nothing pretentious about it. the bubble bacon burger they keep posting about is worth ordering. the chopped cheese is also really good if you want something different. the menu has more range than you'd expect, sandwiches, chicken, sides, sundaes. enough variety that you're not stuck with one option and everything I've tried has been reliable. being open until 10pm with that early morning start gives this place a really wide window which is useful for people with all kinds of schedules. located in Fowler which is a quick drive from Fresno and easy to find. prices are budget friendly and the portions are satisfying. this is exactly the kind of local spot that deserves more attention than it gets. nothing flashy, just good food at fair prices from people who clearly take pride in what they're putting out. if you're in the area or passing through on the 99, make the stop. the name isn't misleading.
