From…read morethe moment I walked in, the nostalgic decor and welcoming atmosphere set the stage for a satisfying meal. The service was attentive and friendly, making me feel right at home. I opted for the chicken parmesan sandwich, and it exceeded my expectations. The chicken was perfectly breaded and cooked to a golden crisp, while the marinara sauce added a rich, tangy flavor that complemented the dish beautifully. The generous layer of melted cheese on top was the icing on the cake, making each bite utterly delightful. The fries served alongside were equally impressive--cooked to perfection with just the right amount of crunch. They were seasoned well and made an excellent accompaniment to the sandwich. Overall, this diner encapsulated everything one could hope for: quality food, prompt service, and an inviting ambiance. I left feeling satisfied and eager to return for another meal. Whether you're craving classic comfort food or just looking for a cozy spot to enjoy a meal, this diner is definitely worth a visit.

Vibe felt like they'd put some money in to the remodel and upkeep, leading to a bright, contemporary vibe that managed to preserve the original feel. Was here for a vendor event, where the extensive beer selection, accessed by self-service RFID cards, worked better in theory than reality. They measure the pours at each machine and it's quite interactive, but it felt like a bunch of the kegs were empty (so the corresponding dispensers were not working), and there were definitely some issues with the RFID system that they, to their credit, did get sorted out. Chips and guac are good and hard to mess up, the carne asada tacos were very good, the chicken tacos were pretty forgettable. 3.5 stars. Tempted to rate higher but they seem to promise a bit more than they delivered.

Wow! That was delicious! We were driving through town when hunger striked which led us to Toni's…read moreCourtyard Cafe. We came on a Monday morning and the crowd was light as expected being a weekday. We were seated right away. They have both indoor and outdoor seating options but the tables are a bit tight so probably not the best place for parties over 4-5 people. I had the salmon scramble with a slice of pumpkin bread and subbed the potatoes for a fruit cup. I don't know if it was because I was extra hungry but it tasted delicious! There was a lot more salmon in the scramble than I expected which was a bonus! The fruit was great and the pumpkin bread was a nice unique twist to the classic breakfast side options. My fiancé got the breakfast burrito which was huge and filling!

The staff are friendly and they have a good old-school vibe and always some kind of 90s-2000s show going on in the background. Fav's are: The Pretty Classic Burger, The Dough-boy and Onion Rings. If you're someone that likes to eat at In-N-Out or Jack in the Box and you haven't tried this place you are in for a treat.

The fries were also crunchy, which is my personal preference for fries. I don't like fries that are super soggy. They did have a special the time that I went where they had like a barbecue burger/patty melt , which is the second burger pictured in this post. It's also pretty reasonably priced and in my opinion affordable. Service was really quick. They were packed when we were there and they were able to get out the food relatively quick. It's definitely like a burger joint you go you order and then you pick up your food there isn't that much customer service involved. Inside they have a huge painting of a burger, which I forgot to take a picture of, but they also have a really clean, which was nice. Anyways, I think it's really good. I would definitely go here again!

If Rainbird were closer to home, I'd be a regular. I met a friend for lunch at Rainbird inside the…read moreEl Capitan Hotel, and the entire experience was wonderful. The restaurant itself is beautiful: bright, airy, sophisticated without feeling stuffy, and thoughtfully designed down to the smallest details. I especially loved the back room with its gorgeous wood-shingle walls, plants, and cozy seating. I ordered the Ancient Grain Bowl, and it was so good. All the ingredients came together into something hearty, fresh, colorful, and incredibly satisfying. This is my kind of meal: nothing feels like an afterthought. My friend had the Millionaire BLTA, which looked fantastic, and those fries deserved some attention of their own. I definitely helped with quality control. Service was excellent from beginning to end, and between the food, beautiful surroundings, and relaxed atmosphere, lunch felt like a little treat rather than just a meal. My only complaint? Rainbird is in Merced and I am not. I'd happily come back.

Today I enjoyed the Spanish Omelet with sweet potato hash and an iced vanilla latte. Absolutely delicious! On my last visit, I had the tomato bisque soup and the Beet Salad and it was just perfect for a healthy, perfectly filling lunch, in the middle of my "busy work day". The service is exceptional from the moment that you first walk in the double doors, until you are seated. On both visits I was greeted by the Host, Louie. He is very welcoming and accommodating, offering me a beautiful window seat at my visit, and also bringing me water before my servers came to my table. Both of my servers were exceptional! Olivia took care of me when I came for lunch, and Dayan served me today at breakfast. They both know the menu well and recommended the menu items that I enjoyed. They also made my Iced Lattes to perfection! I need to come back for dinner on my next visit in town. The decor of The Rainbird and it's sister restaurant with to-go options, Native Son, are so special and unique to the historic times reflected on Main Street in Merced. Both restaurants are located inside El Capitan. I've heard this Historic Hotel is also stunning, so if you're coming into Merced or driving through the Central Vallley, headed "somewhere", stop by Rainbird or Native Son, and if you need a break from the drive, you can stay at El Capitan!

Asked the waiter if I can pay extra to select a different salad on the menu and they said No. Pasta is great, salad is average, the beet salad plate was cold, seems like it came straight from the fridge. Pizza took very long to make, it came towards the end of our meal. The waiter gave us some free fries and soups to make up the long wait time. Overall it's not a bad experience, I would go back for pasta dishes only.

Wow finally found a delicious Steak in Merced! My family & I are in town visiting for my mom's…read morebirthday. By her recommendation we came to try it out tonight. We ordered filet mignon with baked potato & veggies, New york strip with mashed potatoes & veggies & Chicken piccata with veggies. Everything was full of flavor. Filet mignon was perfectly seasoned & tender. My carrots in my veggies were hard and dry. But that would be the only complaint. I however had enough delicious food on my plate to not care about missing out on carrots. My son ordered the kids pollo asado( grilled chicken) with rice & beans. Delicious. Wine is a generous pour. Service was friendly, attentive & all orders came out correctly. Restaurant was clean and country decor. Will definitely be returning to try out the breakfast & Mexican food.
