The restaurant is modern looking. Well maintained. I gotta give it to Casa de Fruta in investing and maintaining their property. The buildings and interior are kept current, no falling apart and time warped ambiance. It's a historical roadside attraction but doesn't look like an antique. It's my first time here. Comfy, clean, modern and relaxed restaurant vibes which was a well needed respite from time on the road. Is this the farm to fork culinary dining? No. It's more like a diner classic menu. Is that to say the food including produce is not fresh, no that doesn't mean that. The produce used is fresh n local. It means that the menu options lean towards classic Americano breakfast, desserts, burger, salads, sandwiches, and classic entrees (fried chicken, fish & chips, steaks, prime rib, chicken fried steak, salmon). Lots of healthier menu options as well. Hubs and I spilt a burger and opted for onion ring as a side. We didn't expect to eat again so soon on the road. Initially we stopped at Casa de Fruta just to use the restroom. But of course we got trapped and had to look about and stay a spell. And heck why not grab a bite. We originally were thinking sweet, probably sharing a slice of pie. But changed our minds to something savory, hearty. Our waiter was awesome. He didn't bat an eye when we said we were sharing a plate. He even had the kitchen cut the burger in half for us. He provided us great customer service. Burger was tasty as well. Food came out hot and quick. But we didn't visit during a peak time. read more

Dining Experience Monday, August 17, 2026 5pm. Service: Host and our server were very friendly, polite with excellent people skills. I cannot remember their names. Food: Positive: My husband ordered the salmon which was prepared well and was delicious. Negative: I ordered the fried chicken which I have had a number of times before. This time it came out burnt and dry. The mashed potatoes were made from dehydrated boxed mashed potatoes. The assorted vegetables had a brine season to it which was not tasty at all. The zucchini was slightly overcooked and the carrots were undercooked. I was very disappointed in the preparation. The menu and changed tremendously. Safety issue: There's like a 5 inch hole/divot covered up by the carpet runner that is in the hallway to the restroom. I almost twisted my ankle. We always looked forward to stopping at Casa de Fruta as a treat when travelling. We are sad to not return to dine here. read more

I stopped in at Casa de Fruta on my way to Santa Cruz. Stopping at CdF was a family tradition while growing up and it had been 40+ years since I had been in the area. There is a lot to do at Casa de Fruta, but I specifically stopped in for breakfast at their Casa de Restaurant for some good food. As expected, the food was delicious and plentiful and at a great value for being such a tourist trap. My server was pleasant enough...average service. The restaurant itself appeared clean and in great condition for its age. My only concern was one of the servers (not mine) who stood center dining room and had a very loud conversation regarding that orange person who is squatting in the White House and how everything he is doing is wonderful. A totally inappropriate conversation and voice level for a family restaurant. read more

I love coming here to eat. It's reminds me of my road trips that I use to have with my pops. On my visit there wasn't a wait to be seated and my 2 servers were just the sweetest. Ordered an egg over medium for myself, shared a breakfast plate and those eggs over medium came runny and not cooked correctly. The kitchen redid them and came out perfectly. The pancakes are so delicious. They had pie samples out , like Costco style. The chocolate cream was outstanding as was the apple. You can buy whole pies or individual slices. In memory of mom I ordered a slice of pecan pie and my fave is cherry so I got a slice of that as well. This place was totally affordable. $48 for 4 people. But we were all VERY frugal with our order. The restaurant was clean as were the restrooms. The food was tasty and service provided was great. Parking will be right upfront. read more

I had no idea Case De Fruita had so many little stores and shops! This restaurant smelled delicious and it was like a regular Mom & Pops diner style restaurant. I loved their display of pies and desserts! Since it's melting over there, all desserts were in glass fridge style container. Service was great and attentive! Everything was very clean considering how dusty it was outside. Granted it rained, I know it's normally dusty, I come for the renaissance fair every year. Hee. read more

The server was very nice! We started with the deviled eggs and garlic fries. I was not a fan of the eggs. If you like strong pimiento flavor, you may like them. I ordered the spicy chicken sandwich, the chicken filet was burnt. My husband had the fish and chips, that was okay. The restaurant appeared to be very clean and all the staff were nice. I feel indifferent about the experience. read more

Stopped here after the renaissance fair, we had a big group (7 people) so I can understand long wait to be seated (35 minutes) and I can even understand a long wait for the waitress to come take our order and then for the food to come out (40 minutes) but when the food got there, half of our entrees were cold, like they had been sitting out for a very long time. The bottom bread of the sandwiches were soaked through (again probably from just sitting waiting to be brought out) and the bread was just falling apart. There was also a small hair found on one of the plates. The entrees that were actually hot were not bad, but overall very disappointing. read more

If you know me, you know I love diners! This is diner like food! Comfort foods! I love that! Service was very nice and attentive all the days we stopped by! From breakfast to dinner to just coffee and pie! I absolutely love it!! Their baked pies are so delicious!! I'm not a fan of chocolate pies but this one was absolutely delicious!! We've sat inside and outside and both are clean and comfy! We will continue to come here when in town! read more

Typical diner layout with booths and counter seats. The restaurant looks clean and maintained. Our server, Lorena, was attentive and friendly. The food was well prepared with adequate portions. We had a clubhouse sandwich, casa combo breakfast and a kids Mac & cheese with fries. All were good. We will stop by again when passing through and recommend it to others. read more

Worst meal we've had in a long time. My husband ordered a simple breakfast, two over easy eggs, sausage and hash browns. My daughter and I got our food and we waited a good 15 minutes for his food to finally arrive, only to be two over easy eggs soaked in oil. It looked absolutely disgusting. The waitress noticed he didn't touch his food and asked what was wrong and he said it was really greasy. To her credit she was very nice about it and had them remove the meal from the bill. My food was not great either. A tuna melt that was really bland and had some weird cranberry jelly in it and kale lettuce. It had no cheese! How do you serve a tuna melt without the cheese? Very disappointing. We used to enjoy stopping here for lunch on our way to the coast. Don't think we'll be back. Seems like ever since COVID the quality in restaurants are so poor. They just don't care anymore. read more

The Bacado Burger was good overall--the patty was a little overcooked, but not enough to ruin it. The fries were cooked perfectly and nicely seasoned. Service was a bit slow, and at one point it felt like we may have been forgotten; however, they were very busy, so that's understandable. The diner-style décor gave the place a cozy, welcoming feel. It's a nice stop to rest and grab a meal when traveling between Fresno and the Bay Area. The bathrooms were also clean and well maintained. read more

Service was fine. long wait for our food and the restaurant wasn't busy. Second, very bland food. No salt, no flavor, just meh. I had the boring prime rib sandwich with onion rings. Spouse had "not even spicy" chicken sandwich. DO NOT GET THE CHEESECAKE! We purchased two pieces to go and it was so freaking gross. Vanilla and playdough tasting trash. We both took one bite and spit it out, threw the whole pieces away. Absolutely horrendous. The restaurant is a waste of money. I'll be angry about that gross cheesecake for the next few days. read more

Popped in about 6:40 pm on a Saturday and seated fairly quickly. They have the Renaissance Fair so it was busy in a good way. I had the chicken fried steak with the clam chowder and it was delicious. Also very very generous when it comes to the servings and priced well for what you get. The clam chowder with the bread hit the spot early and was very enjoyable. Our server did a good job with everything we needed. If I had to be very picky and this is very picky is that the gravy was closer to the watery side. Overall I had a pleasant experience and would definitely recommend! read more

I'm rating the "Casa de Burrito." This is inside of the chevron and apart of the Casa the fruta establishment. The Carne Asada Burrito is Delicious! It does justice to carne asada burrito! If you see if the picture the carne asada is cooked so there's a slight pink which leaves it tender (cooked to about a medium) The red and green salsas were savory and tasted freshly made! If you're craving a burrito while on the road recommend!! read more

Did you change the recipe for the Fruit of the Forrest pie? I always go grab one as it is my absolute favorite pie. On Thursday I purchased a pie and it did not have the rhubarb flavor your pie usually has. I sure hope you haven't changed the recipe. The tartness of the filing really sets this pie apart from all competitors. read more

I love this place!!!!! The portions are off the charts (GENEROUS) I got the fried chicken juicy, juicy meat and crunchy batter, YUMMY It never disappoints. But be prepared for a big crowd. This is a popular diner style restaurant off of Pacheco Pass. Despite the crowd, the service is always prompt and attentive. read more

Nice, clean restaurant. Pretty big. Looks updated. Nice staff. We stopped by for a bite to eat for lunch before getting ice cream. We split a club sandwich, which was really good. Turns out the only ice cream they have at the restaurant is vanilla with chocolate syrup. But there is an ice cream counter right behind the restaurant in Casa de Sweets. Decent pricing at the restaurant and our server was very friendly and helpful. read more

I visited Casa de Fruta with a friend and decided to have lunch at the restaurant. We ordered the clam chowder, turkey club sandwich, side salad, and the artichoke appetizer. Overall, the meal was very good. The clam chowder was flavorful and the turkey club was fresh. The side salad was a little different than I expected, it was made with spring mix and topped with just crushed pistachios, but it was absolutely delicious. The artichoke appetizer was good, although I thought it was a bit oily. The restaurant was clean and it was a comfortable atmosphere. Our waiter was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. I thought the prices were a bit higher but that's understandable given that Casa de Fruta is a popular tourist destination. Overall, we had a great lunch, and I would definitely return the next time I'm in the area. read more

A great place to stop and eat on your way up north. They have breakfast all day. The corners hash with breakfast potatoes were very flavorful, the potatoes freshly cut and seasoned well.

My wife and I have been coming to Casa de fruta restaurant for last 6 years. We had consistent visits there to go every other Friday.We were regulars. Driving there was a treat because of the gorgeous views. We also have been enjoying our favorite deserts there. Unfortunately, because of the prices and the quality of food we may need to end our frequent trips there. Some of our dishes have been chucked out of their menus. They no longer serve Chicken pesto, Bbq ribs and other items we noted to be made obsolete. Its very sad on how this establishment is headed the wrong direction. The service is great, but the food quality is not the same. To the person in charge of this restaurant: Please contact an advisor, or anyone that can help guide this place. Thank you. read more

The food was cold We put in our name at 11:45 AM. They told us 30 minutes and at 12:30 45 minutes later they called us. The waiter came pretty fast and we placed our order right away The food arrived at 1:15 most of it COLD We were starving so we did not send the food back. If there is a wait, don't go in because you're gonna wait longer than anticipated and the food is gonna take longer to arrive to your table then anticipated The breakfast burritos and the sandwiches are really good so next time we will go there at casa de wine & deli and not to the restaurant ever again read more

I haven't driven by here since the 80's. I had to stop in for good ol memories. The place is spacious and well maintained. They had prime rib and couldn't pass that by. It was a lot of food and service was excellent! Fun place to stop and take a break from the drive. There's truly something for everybody here. read more

Took a ride with a bunch of cool people to casa de Fruta, our crew were escorted in to the back lot or there was a car show going on. After parking my ride wifey and I checked out all the little stores on the Casa de Fruta lot. Man there's so much to see and do here. They have and ice cream and coffee store, a wine and sandwich store, and a fruit and candy store, Free wine tasting (I ended up buy 2 bottles of their delicious pomegranate wine and blackberry wine. I also walked out of there with a apricot and cherry pie. Wifey got a coffee "was meh" Around the outside of the shops is a carousel, train rides, lots of old for me equipment, a water mill and rooster or two ;D. Overall it's worth a drive to check them out. read more

Stopped in for a quick piece of pie. Fruit of the forest is my go to. Filled with a variety of fruits and served with a scoop of ice cream, yum. Service is just ok so you need to be very patient. Even on a slow night servers can be slow too. The ambiance is very casual and no need to dress up, lol. Many travelers stop her to stretch their legs use the restrooms stroll in the park eat at the restaurant go wine tasting or purchase some of their delicious snacks in the store. I can't leave without my share of chocolate covered cherries, apricots, and blueberries, they are a must. read more

I brought a large group of 36 people to dine for brunch at Casa de Restaurant. We agreed upon a set menu, and the service was streamlined so we could stay on our day trip itinerary. The staff and servers were very warm and welcoming. They constantly refilled our coffee cups. The fresh fruit was actually fresh and full of flavor. The fresh squeezed orange juice came in pint glasses! The brunch food of Eggs Benedict, omelettes, pancakes, and waffles was delicious. I recommend this place as a stop for a meal to anyone traveling in this area, and I plan to return on my trip to Yosemite in a few weeks to show my boyfriend this wonderful place. Also, allow time to stroll the grounds with duck ponds and places to purchase goodies for your roadtrip. I plan to buy everything I need for a picnic lunch in Yosemite from Casa de Fruta. read more

We finally got to eat here after passing by for the past 17 years and we're glad we did. It's a no frills type restaurant with a menu similar to what you would find at Denny's or American diners. The service is great, priced fairly being an attraction location, and the portions are HUGE. read more

Must stop on the 152. We have been wanting to try this place out, and we finally did. We are glad we did. We went on a Saturday morning and only a few people were there. We were seated right away and got our order taken right away. The lady serving us had good customer service, and she made sure we were doing okay. The French toast was good with six pieces. The steak had a lot of flavor and looked bigger than 12 oz. We are happy with the service we got, and the food was delicious. There is plenty of parking nearby. Also, the restaurant is nice and quiet, and you are able to have conversations with your group and hear them. read more

Long wait, told us 30 minutes and was more like 50. Took forever to ask us for drinks & luckily we had already looked at the menu while waiting so we were able to order.

We will never visit this restrauant again after the very greasy and an inedible Egg Benedict dish. My husband and I decided to visit this restaurant on the way to L.A.

Don't order a salad with chicken. It had a foul smell and looked like it came from a pre-cooked bag. Our server was very nice and apologized which is why I gave 2 Stars instead of 1 but for the price of the plates, I would have expected MUCH higher quality food. I took one bite of my cobb salad and sent it back because of the smell and taste of the chicken...hard pass for the potential of food poisoning. And the rest of our table's food was sub par at best. If I'm paying $20 for a salad, it better be farm to table quality...and sadly, this experience wasn't anything even close to that. read more

Good food and great service. The place was crowded on our arrival. However, got seated fast and our needs were met quickly.

Prime rib was 3-3.5 stars All the sides aka veggies, mash potatoes, clam chowder and dinner roll were all just average so 3 stars I do hear that the fried chicken is better I did drop by after July 4th. Hot summer day. AC was great the flies were not. Didn't see any peacocks. Service was pretty good and the vibe was an upscale Dennys. read more
