    Best shakes in town! Campus has multiple flavors and you can create custom choice by combining options. Chocolate peanut butter and chocolate pineapple are regulars for us!

    The French Burger
    Jonathan R.

    I was hoping for so much more from Campus. We skipped the fast food stops on the 5 and decided to try somewhere a little different and I must say I was pretty excited to try a new burger joint. Some good sounding food on the menu with some of the lowest prices I have ever seen. I ordered the French Burger, which has three patties, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and on a French roll, which is where the French part of the name comes in. The burger was OK, just a lot smaller than I expected. With three patties, I was hoping for it to be significantly bigger. We ordered fries and fried zucchini as well. Both very obviously frozen then fried and both were quite disgusting. When you oven bake frozen fries at home, and they don't cook all the way so you taste that stale flavor when you bite into it. That's exactly what these fries tasted like. The zucchini were just as bad. The batter tasted like nothing. The zucchini fell out of the "batter pocket" as soon as you bite into it. You can taste the lousy quality of food here. I'm not holding Campus Drive In up to some painfully high standards here. I just want food that tastes good. Good enough to at least finish.

    The spicy buffalo chicken sandwich is good just make sure you ask for a side of ranch to dunk it in.

I use to work in a small cafe back in the day so working in food service can be trying sometimes. I noticed they have added some menu items and Friday/Saturday dining options as well. Today they had a Monday feature of Tri-Tip Sandwich with either fries or fresh fruit. A free drink was included and I chose lemonade with cucumber and fresh mint. OMG that was delicious. They also had several flavors, strawberry-Hibiscus, strawberry, raspberry, and the cucumber mint lemonade. I chose to dine in and I received my food hot. The fries were perfect. Crispy and not greasy. I chose a hot chipotle ranch & ketchup. Yah, being a vegetarian is hard. I wasn't vegetarian today. I tore up that sandwich and left no crumbs ok maybe the butt end of the roll but that's for Buddha. While waiting I saw the advertisement for Friday night dinners & Saturday Brunch with Mimosas & Micheladas. It's just two staff so go easy on them. They off a 3% discount if you pay in cash. They also accept tap pay. Cool tunes too. Until next time. . .SYOYelp

The bakery is part of the country store, which sells such random housewares and souvenir-type stuff. They have a chocolate truffle case on one side and the other side, the pastries and desserts. The pastries looked delicious and I got a few to try. They also have bags of day-old cookies for a good price. Eclair 4/5* I'm not a huge fan of eclairs with the soft fudge on top instead of the hardened chocolate. Taste wise though, it was a good eclair. The cream isn't overly sweet and the eclair itself was a light dough. Napoleon 5/5* If there's something Harris bakery does right, it's flaky pastries. Surprisingly, this Napoleon stayed crispy the entire drive home and survive even in the refrigerator the next day. Many others I've had usually get soggy, but these layers of puff pastry stayed crisp to the end of every last bite. The cream was fluffy and not too sweet, and paired perfectly with the ripe strawberries. Banana Cream Pie 3/5* I love anything banana and just had to get it when my eyes landed on the perfect swirl of whip cream covered in chunks of buttery crumbles, atop a neat little mini pie. However, the pie itself was too mushy. The crust was soggy, with the smoothness of the banana cream, soft banana slices, and rich whip cream, everything combined was too much mush. It was also too sweet. I did enjoy the crumble on top though. That was the only saving texture. Strawberry Cream Horn 5/5* Wow these were so unexpectedly delicious! The horn is super flaky and delicate, filled from end to end with a light strawberry cream. On top, bits of dehydrated strawberries were not only beautiful but added a nice tartness and texture, contrasting with the silky cream. This was a great upgrade on your classic cream horn. Chocolate Chip Cookies with Walnuts 3/5* Nothing special. They tasted better the longer they sat out because they were crisper. I prefer my cookies to have sea salt for that good balance of salty and sweet, but these cookies were just one noted. Next time, I have my eyes set on this towering cake they had on the counter and of course, take home some of those yummy cream horns.

    Highly disappointing to see the Country Store as of late…read more We have been going to Harris Ranch for as long as I can remember and I am 52 years old. It feels like our home away from home as we go back and forth from Northern California and to visit our family in Orange County. We always LOVED seeing the store and its unique gifts that filled the entire place. For some time, there looks to be maybe a quarter of what they used to have. So sad... I used to come and find a lot of my Christmas gifts for people during the holidays. This past Christmas, I went in and the place looked desolate. I was confused and wondered if I missed it all? I don't know if Harris Ranch is not doing well, but it really looks like they're struggling if you look at the empty feel of the store. We just left the shop now on our way back down to Southern California and once again shocked and highly disappointment. It was bad.. I really hope that whatever happening there gets better so that the store can return to the gorgeous shop that it once was.

The Bravo Farms building (including this restaurant, ice cream shop, and abundant shopping. We opted for the tri-tip sandwich & the Cobb tri-tip wrap along with sweet potatoe fries. Unfortunately, the tri-tip sandwich was a little short on tri-tip, just a few thin slices on the roll. Their tri-tip wrap was heavy on the lettuce, but very tasty. And although we didn't think that we would be able to eat all of those sweet potato fries, it was a large helping, they must've been dipped in nicotine because we could not stop eating these. The place is a little pricey, and at least in the case of the tri-tip sandwich, not worth the money. The place is very clean & nicely decorated along with a pleasant outside eating area.

Today since it was packed I decided to get a table at the Ranch Kitchen. Its all the same, menus, servers. So previously having done the prime rib and filet mignon, I decided to go a different route, the Jack and John's favorite sandwich. I thought Id be getting thin sliced NY steak.....wasn't expecting a whole 10oz grilled steak. So essentially this is like the upgraded version of Jimmy John's Roast Beef Sandwich and for 40.00 / sandwich, you're getting your dollars worth in protein. I also did their steak fingers appetizer, drenched in some kind of red wine reduced, caramelized garlic herbs gravy with hints of Worcestershire sauce. Sauce was a little acidic, sour, and I would much prefer if it was like a Lee Kum Kee Branded Black Pepper sauce with oyster sauce base. But regardless, paired with foccacia sour dough, it was more than an Appetizer, and Id say a stand alone meal. Recommendations for those that don't want a big lunch: just order the appetizer steak fingers, and a clam chowder. You'll equally be full.

Our dog is a certified service animal and because of that they were able to give us a table. We waited like 10 min and we were greeted pretty quick. Food is pretty expensive but tasty so is worth the stop. Along with the menu they gave us the requirements of the behavior of the service animal. I would love that they apply same structure of service for people who dine with toddlers and children's that do not behave. They throw tantrums and is pretty upsetting and disrupt the environment of the guest surrounding that table. My dog behave as she should compared to the table next to me who had a toddler who ... well... was screaming and crying .... I hate flies and there were a couple inside the restaurant...
