We bought the tri-tip family meal, which came with tri-tip that we picked up outside, then had it sliced inside at the deli counter, 2 lbs of baked beans with bits of unexpected pineapple, potato and macaroni salad, and rolls, all for only $36.99 + tax. The tri-tip was still juicy and delicious after microwaving it at home, and the cold salads made it back safely since we had a cooler. The beans were exceptionally delicious. I've never had them with pineapple before, only in macaroni salad. We need to boycott fast food with their outrageous prices these days. This was obviously better and fairly priced.

Good Friends Chinese Restaurant

I don't know how many times over the years we've driven past Good Friend Chinese Restaurant while…read moreen route to the foothills and high country, and nearly every time we'll make a comment. Sometimes it's funny, sometimes it's pithy, sometimes it's out of curiosity, but usually it's in the context of "who would come to Valley Springs to find good Chinese food?" Well, recently we were returning from yet another trip in the Sierras and were kind of hangry, so we decided to settle it once and for all, and give Good Friend a try. We arrived relatively late - it was only 7:30pm, but they close at 8:30pm, so their dinner rush was well past and they were winding down. This is important. Throughout our meal, the staff could not have been friendlier or more efficient. They were not annoyingly so, but they didn't miss a beat. The food in the buffet stations was starting to run out. The sushi selection had dwindled down from what was probably a much larger offering, although what remained still looked pretty fresh, not old and tired, and in fact, the few pieces we had were much better than typical Chinese buffet sushi. (I know that sounds like faint praise, but the sushi was actually decent.) The green mussels that were next to the sushi did look a little dry around the edges so we gave those a pass, but in fairness, mussels start to look that way pretty quickly, so they may not have been out very long. The hot and sour soup was much better than expected. If I hadn't crammed so much food into my pie hole already, I would have had another bowl of it. It does seem kind of weird to eat a Chinese soup with a Western soup spoon, but when in Rome, I guess. Also surprisingly good was the beef & broccoli, jalapeno pork, and the ribs, keeping in mind again that it was close to closing time and most of the ribs in the tray didn't look that great, but I managed to find enough that were meaty and moist to satisfy my jones for them. Next time - and there will probably be a next time - I'll pass on the stuff that is battered and fried: chicken, frog legs, tempura-style veggies. The battering was soft, not crisp. I don't know if that's because they'd been sitting and cooling in the steam table or if it's the batter mix. They weren't bad, just not how I like my fried stuff. The fried chicken actually tasted pretty good other than the soft coating, but I was reminded after eating the frog leg that frog's legs don't excite me to eat as much as the idea of eating frog's legs. Too much work for too little payback, and frog's legs can sometimes taste a little fishy. That's ok if you're eating fish, but when the meat is more like chicken, fishy taste is just odd. There were a few items that, earlier in dinner service, were probably much better. The dry fried string beans (labelled as "sauteed string beans") were really in need of replacing although we managed to pluck half a dozen of them out that looked ok, and there were a couple of other mixed veg trays that were past their prime as well. We also gave a pass to the crab legs, but not on account of their appearance. We just didn't feel like working that hard to get at the meat. All in all, we were pleasantly surprised. It was not the best Chinese food we've ever had. OTOH, it was FAR from the worst. Even more important, we agreed that we would have no problem going back. Is it a destination place? Absolutely not. But we definitely added it to our list of places to eat while we're on the road and want something we know will be good enough. Again, that sounds like it could be faint praise, but there's a ton of places out there for which we would not say the same. I'll add for context that the 4-star rating is relative to what I'd expect in Valley Springs. If Good Friend Chinese Restaurant were in, say, Richmond or San Francisco or San Gabriel, for instance, there's no way I'd rate them at 4 stars. More likely it'd be in the 2-3 star range in those areas. But considering the location and expectation, Good Friend is not a bad option. All the cars lined up in the Taco Bell drive-through should have gone across the highway to Good Friend! It also gave the "divorced dads with kids for the weekend" vibe.

The positives: servers were friendly though they seemed stressed, but they checked on us a few times. For a busy Saturday at 930am, it appeared they could use more help. My daughter also liked her waffle and the orange juice was delicious. The negatives: we ordered items that said "home made" and they absolutely did not taste as such. The corned beef hash was in no way made from scratch- it had the meat texture of canned corned beef with soggy shredded potatoes mixed in... similar to wet cat food texture. The overall flavor wasn't the best either. The country Benedict was also flavorless- the "home made" gravy tasted only of flour and sadness, and the sausage patties were limp and gray. We also were offered more coffee since the cup was low- but never received the refill before we left. Not sure we will be back but maybe their lunch will be better.

It looks like Ramblehorn is here to stay and I'm here for it! The prices are affordable, the portions are huge, and the staff are friendly. Parking is tight, but not terrible. Amador Brewing is next door as well. As soon as you step in, it smells like a classic diner, the kind of smell that takes you back. We went for a late brunch on a Sunday and it was packed, but we were able to be seated pretty quickly. Our server was attentive and jovial. Whenever I try out a new breakfast/brunch spot (which isn't that often since I don't normally eat breakfast/brunch), I have to order the eggs benedict. Perfecting a hollandaise sauce and poached eggs isn't exactly the easiest, so it's pretty tell-tale for a restaurant if they can get their eggs benedict right. For my side I went with the hash browns. My husband wanted something a little lighter, so he went with the breakfast sandwich and a side of hash browns. Apparently you can order the egg however you want, so he decided to ask for it scrambled. He chose bacon for the meat. It took a while for our food to arrive. As soon as we placed our order, it seemed that everyone was coming for the lunch rush. There were a few tables that had also just ordered as well. Our server was very apologetic for the wait, but we said we didn't mind. I could tell they were still working through the kinks and training new staff, but the system they had going was already good. Once our food arrived, we were so excited to dig in. The poached eggs passed the test, and so did the hollandaise sauce. I hate when breakfast food is overly oily or rich, but the food here was not that at all. The English muffins also held up well to the barrage of yolk pouring out of the eggs. The hash browns were delightfully crispy, and my favorite additions to hash browns are ketchup and hot sauce, both of which they have at the condiment section of each table. My husband enjoyed his breakfast sandwich as well. It wasn't heavy and was well-balanced. The bacon was crispy and the eggs were fluffy. You can tell that the staff at Ramblehorn make their food with love. Given the multitudes of patrons that have been stopping by, I'm pretty sure Ramblehorn will stay for the long haul. I'm definitely coming back to try some other dishes soon!

If you've followed my reviews, you know I don't give out 4 stars often, and 5 stars are rare.
