Quinoa Salad
Nicole P.

Anytime you are visiting Apple Hill, you bound to work up an appetite. We stumbled upon Blue Barn Provisions and are so glad that we did! The service was great and our food came out pretty quickly. Our sandwiches and salads were delicious and filling. Seating is available indoors and outdoors but we couldn't resist the chance to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful weather.

This place is so picturesque and cute! I love the decor and aesthetic! They have indoor and outdoor seating. The menu had really great options and had beer and wine options. I got the kitchen sink and I didn't like it very much but my husband did. I do have to say that all the food was cold and we were the first ones there. Great atmosphere though!

I was bopping about Apple Hill recently. Yes, in early June and not even Apple season. There's still alot to do and see right now. Such as stopping by Blue Barn Provisions. It's a cafe of sorts serving salads, sandwiches, light eats, and pastries; local crafted ciders, beers and wines. Farm to fork concept here. Fresh and local. The food and drinks can be ordered at the counter. The seating is mostly outdoor tables which are all shaded. There is one long shared pub height table inside. The interior decor is clean, modern, and bright. Almost like brand new. The place gives off modern, vintage tractor farmhouse vibes. It's relaxed a gathering place for locals or folks just passing through. They don't rush folks through. Good eats and drinks in a chill vibe. The clientele is diverse and welcoming vibes. I saw customers of all ethnic backgrounds, They also have a bocce court and a cute compact koi pond. Hours of operation: Thursday -Monday 11am-4pm. Oh I almost forgot to tell ya. Right next food is the Farmhouse Mercantile. A gift and floral shop. Check them out as well. Plus there are a couple of wine tasting rooms within walking distance.

Cute tractor decor

While visiting a friend in Pollock Pines on Saturday, we stopped by Blue Barn Provisions for lunch, and it was such a charming find! The entire place has a cute, farm-style feel--very country, open, and spacious. They offer outdoor seating as well as beautiful long, communal wooden tables inside. There's a small open kitchen where you can watch the staff preparing the food, and the restrooms were clean and surprisingly spacious. They also carry local donuts, which were absolutely worth trying. We had the apple fritter, which was soft and delicious with the perfect crispy exterior. Our favorite was the almond bar--it was delicate, flaky, buttery, and so good. We also tried a cookie that was equally delicious. For lunch, we ordered the turkey sandwich, which was piled high with turkey and crisp vegetables, the bourbon bacon jam toast with melted brie, and a classic BLT. We kept it simple with water, which is available as self-serve. It was a beautiful day to enjoy the outdoor space. They have cornhole and bocce available to play around the property, adding to the relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. The staff was incredibly kind, and they also have a small market area featuring drinks, local products, and other items for sale. The entire place is quaint and adorable, both inside and out. I highly recommend Blue Barn Provisions for lunch or brunch if you're in the Pollock Pines area! :) dog friendly.

Stopped by with my large family Saturday morning, and we are so glad we did! Blue Barn Provisions is the perfect way to start your day at Apple Hill, with filling portions and delicious food items. The barn itself has a good amount of seating both indoors and outdoors, and it feels cozy overall. The staff is wonderful, cheerful, and so friendly! There were 9 of us, but they were thrilled to take our order and happily offered recommendations. I ordered the apple pie French toast on brioche bread, and it was so good! The bread was fresh and the apples paired so well with the sweet whipped cream. It didn't taste too eggy, which I thoroughly enjoyed. It was very soft as well, and had a melt-in-your-mouth type texture. I highly recommend starting your day here and trying the French toast!

Blue Barn Provisions is a great place to grab a bite and a drink or two. A very casual vibe, located right off the freeway. They have indoor and outdoor seating. It's a great stop before or after going to Apple Hill. Walk up and order, then your food will be brought out to you. For lunch we went with the Quinoa Salad. It had squash, sprouts, greens, toped with a citrus vinaigrette, Cranberries and pumpkin seeds. We also ordered the Smoked Beef Brisket with crispy onions, horseradish cream on ciabatta bread.

Delicious quinoa and arugula salad

Came back to visit this amazing place after hiking around Sly Park - it is also right off Hwy 50 on your way to S Lake Tahoe!!! Loved it... again, plus I got to have lunch w a baby goat such a beautiful restaurant and their food is extraordinary - highly recommend their caprese sandwich and potato salad - be sure to stay and play some Bocce!! Enjoy!!

Went here while doing some van camping in the Apple Hill area. We went right before closing, and it was not crowded at all. The food and drinks were good, and it was a pretty chill meal. If you are in the area, you should check it out.

Stop by this place on the way to Apple hill. Looks like it is a popular place. It has indoor and outdoor seating. They have an open kitchen concept. Menu is simple. The food is yummy but pull pork and brisket are a bit salty. Chili is yummy. Price is reasonable and portion is ok.

What a hidden treasure! Off to a side, thank goodness for Yelp which helped direct us to this great eatery. The overall vibe was rustic but very cute and hip at the same. Definitely stood out to me for being in Apple Hill. There was a cute flower shop with boutique goods right next to it. Definitely ample seating and friendly staff. I went ahead and ordered the roasted turkey which had french brie and peach jam. It was truly delicious, bread crispy and the combo of the flavoring was amazing. There was definitely open and a great relaxing seating. Would definitely come back.

This seemed like a lesser known spot, located right along the freeway but parking wasn't too bad. It's a nice place for an actual meal, rather than snack food you'll find at most of the farms. It's counter service style here then they'll bring out food for you. There are a good amount of tables outside and then a few inside also. I liked the little camp chair seating around the bocce ball court. They also had a small area with pumpkins for sale, and a petting area for their cute two donkeys and a goat. The food was pretty good but wouldn't go out of my way for it, but would still consider it to get a full meal in between all the Apple Hill farm hopping.

Pulled pork tacos and brisket Sammy with local cider and ipa beer.

Ordered the pulled pork tacos and the brisket sandwich. Best brisket and pulled pork in CA. Tender, juicy and awesome portions. Solid tap menu we got 2 local ipa's which were awesome. We also got the honey pistachio cheese cake to go and ate it for dessert for our home dinner and it was OUTSTANDING. Before we left we were greeted by the owners and they let us know they make almost everything besides the Apple fritter donut and cakes themselves(other offerings are locally sourced)Service was awesome food were served to us at our table with our number and the bar tenders were awesome with their recommendations. Gem of a spot in the area. Kid friendly with bocce ball and some farm animals for the kiddos to see.

Dropped in at the last minute on Labor Day in the afternoon and could immediately tell they were…read morevery busy. We chose to wait and we received such a friendly and welcoming experience from start to end despite how busy they were. I appreciated our host's transparency about appetizers coming out at the same time as our entrees because their kitchen was slammed. We were totally okay with that and were immediately excited to eat the food once it got to us. It was just as delicious as it looks in pictures. Appetizers that we ordered: - Spam Musubi 5/5 - Hawaiian Style Poke 3.5/5 (it tasted very fresh but was very overstated. We still enjoyed it) Entrees: - Paniolo Burger with extra bacon and avocado 5/5 - Mahi Mahi sandwich 4.5/5 For drinks, my partner had their latest west coast IPA and I had a cider from a local place that was a bit too sweet for my preference. We sat outside since we had our two dogs and their outside patio is dog friendly. Overall, experience was a 5/5 for us and we will definitely be back to experience Tropics again when we are in the area. It's nice to have this as an option over the abundance of American food there seems to be in the area.

The food was cooked alright and the service was decent, but everything really lacked depth or…read moreoriginality. I have to say that a big part of this review as well was just how hellishly hot the restaurant was, if this is normally what you keep your thermostat to, y'all gotta be trying to really bring the island summer inside... I think I wetted my chair with sweat. But let's talk food, coconut shrimp were fine but just seemed like the normal run of the mill frozen bag, the bummer was the sauce, sauce for coconut shrimp to me should always be orange based, this was straight up a bottle of Mae Ploy Sweet Chili in a ramekin. The Crispy Sweet and Tangy beef, had an good texture but the flavor itself was really boring, again funny enough appeared to have Mae Ploy Sweet Chili dumped on top, it's really easy to make these sauces in house and make them unique. I was not able to taste the tacos, but my fried was NOT a fan, said the sauce was way off of what a fish taco should be and the fish was not blacked, that much was clear. Blackened means black y'all, crank up the heat and lay on the spice. Last thing was the Chicken Karrage, again ok texture, crunchy chicken but also chewy. The bummer was no sauce, whatsoever. Chicken Karrage has a specific sauce you would think it comes with, if not that the something unique. best we could do was the sauce from other our dishes, and soy. Come on again y'all, put some love into your menu. Little Sriracha Aoli would have made us happy there.

We split the steak, carrots, and fingerling potatoes with an amazing sauce! There was enough for us to split it into two. The wine was amazing from local wineries, the waitress was sweet and friendly and had grear service. Everyone was dressed super nice & when we asked for recommendations of wine with our dinner, they had a great pairing. We wish we could've checked outside, but there was a wedding going on. We will definitely be back to check out the outside area and I definitely recommend!!

Unique restaurant in a historic area that serves up traditional American fare. The main seating…read morearea is actually downstairs - there is one room that my friend calls the "cave" room, it opens up to an actual mine that was used. So if you like those Raiders of the Lost Ark vibes, then you would like sitting next to the mine for sure. It's roped off but you can hear the water dripping and it is naturally cool. The structure was originally built as a hotel in 1853 and has been well preserved. I ordered their Smith Flat House salad ($10) and the Jambalaya Risotto ($34) which consisted of Cajun-marinated prawns, lobster meat, Andouille sausage, grilled sweet corn with saffron chicken risotto. Definitely had a bit of a kick to it, the risotto was done well. My pet peeve is mushy risotto, it needs to have a slight bite to it which this one had thankfully. Love the fact that this place serves up local wines -- I couldn't recall the wine I had and they do not have their wine menu on their website. If you have the opportunity to visit, I'd recommend a glass of red from Starfield (winery up the road).
