The outdoor covered area holds multiple tables and the tables can host a few to up to maybe 10 people. The burgers, soup, garden salads, walnut/chicken/cranberry salad, fish n chips were all delicious and the portions were large. I did switch out my fries for sweet potato fries and they were great. But the best things were the Brussels sprouts (OMG) and blackberry cider. I was so glad the server suggested the cider - and it's on tap!!! We typically go in the winter to eat here and found it to be a good place to grab a casual bite. But the vibe in the summer is so different and wonderful. We'll be back anytime we are in the area!

My friends and I drove into Twain Harte to grab lunch over the weekend - the one place we wanted to…read morecheck out was closed, so we decided to go to The Rock instead. We decided to sit outside on the patio area which was nice, but also very loud. They have plenty of tables inside, a smaller patio area plus the larger one with TVs and games for kids - so lots of seating! When we were seated, our waitress said it would be about 35 minutes before food would arrive. We decided to stay since we were not in a rush to get anywhere. We ordered drinks that took a bit to come out and for food, I ordered the Cranberry Gorgonzola Salad, my friends ordered the Chicken Wings and Fish and Chips. Our food did not come out at the 35 minute mark, we actually ended up waiting 51 minutes. Waiting almost an hour for your meal is wild -- our waitress did check on us a couple of times, but I just cannot get past the wait - 35 minutes turning into 51 is a long time to wait. Now if the food had been worth it, I probably would have been fine with the wait, but it unfortunately it was not. The chicken on my salad was iceberg cold - it was also in larger chunks so a few pieces were tough to chew and overcooked. Overall, staff were very nice, but based off the wait and food - I would not want to come back. Maybe I ordered the wrong item, but after waiting almost an hour, I can't see myself coming back.

A fantastic restaurant and brewery in downtown Sonora that I was fortunate enough to visit as I was…read morein town for a special event to honor my brother. The beer was fantastic as I had an outstanding ale with a pulled pork sandwich that was tender and juicy on a roll that was toasted as well as onion rings. Customer service by the staff was friendly and professional and sat us on this beautiful table that appeared to be of glossed over redwood which fit with what I would imagine a brewery in Sonora feeling like. I never felt out of place and I didn't go home hungry. Would highly recommend this place for any downtown visitors or people who work in the city and I thank the employees of Sonora brewing for the wonderful experience.

Server said they'd bus it - granted they might have been understaffed - but it took 10+ min, didn't bus. Tried ordering drinks for another 5 minutes, couldn't get a drink. Just left. It's a bummer, easily a $200+ check altogether. Love trying different breweries and wasn't able to try here.

Wouldn't come here, I'm wondering if they are rude to people from out of town on purpose. Next time I would just put a sign up that visitors will not be welcomed and treated poorly. The girls working were so unbelievably rude. After the snarky "what do you want" at the start of the night, that should have been our sign to leave. The service was very slow, they were busy but met with attitude every time we got another round. At the end of the night we got our bill and luckily someone in our group caught that we were charged $25 for a trucker hat which none of us requested to purchase. We brought this to the girl's attention and her response was "well that's why I told you to check the bill." In a sarcastic and rude voice. I strongly believe based on this interaction that they charge unsuspecting out of town visitors for their merch and hope that people won't notice and then they just pocket the money? We then asked for a receipt which we never received.... Shady. I really cannot get over how rude the staff was and can't wait to try other places in Murphy's and never return to this establishment. Pretzel was yummy though. So they get two stars just for the pretzel.

After 15 minutes, we were told that a wedding party had reserved the entire bar and we had to finish our drinks outside in the cold, where there were no seats. My husband asked for a refund, since we had barely begin to drink. The server went to ask the bartender, and returned to say that we had to finish our drinks and leave. We were told that they knew the wedding party had reserved the bar and would be arriving at some point in the evening. Now I can understand that neither the server nor the bartender made the reservation or knew exactly when the bar would have to be closed down. However, they should have told us that the bar would be closing, and given us the opportunity to go somewhere else. They also should have refunded our drinks, because it was their fault not to have warned us beforehand. This is simply an example of poor management.

He completely ignored me and walked off. Now, I don't expect anything whatsoever for my very very very very distant Elvis relation. But, it's sometimes a talking point. When he walked off, I just said, "Ok". He snapped, "I'm busy", looked down at his phone suddenly and walked out back.

So I love Twain Harte! However, while stopping by this Mexican restaurant, I noticed it seemed like…read morean outdated restaurant. Which I was OK with because you never know the food might be good. The server was kind she didn't seem to smile much. However, she definitely checked in and took care of us. It was pretty hot in the restaurant. It was 79° on their thermostat. It was a hot summer day so I'm wondering why they wouldn't turn the AC on anyhow. I also looked up and there were bottles all over the bar, and a lot of them were dusty and old looking. Anyhow, I ordered the flautas, enchiladas plate, and a kids chicken strips and french fries. The chips and dip came out. The chips seemed a little bit stale, and the dip was very bland and not really that tasty. When the food came out, I noticed the food was not what I ordered refried beans, but it was whole pinto beans. I didn't complain. I just thought OK I'm going to eat it. That was on both of our plates. My plate the flautas plate had two big rolled up, flautas with green salsa topped over them with the queso white cheese. And I thought to myself flautas are not supposed to be this big or fat but anyhow, we will try them. The chicken was very dry and the sauce did not give it a good taste. There was a good crunch to it however, it was super big for a flauta. They need to be smaller. Then the rice and the beans were so bland and disgusting. I didn't even want to eat it. I just had some of it because I was starving. The enchiladas were something I can make at home with a can. It was definitely the canned sauce. It was not authentic. Same thing with the rice and the beans. The chicken tenders came out with the french fries and they were cold. They tasted disgusting. My daughter didn't even want to eat the food. Long story short, we got two boxes to take home, my partner he ended up eating the enchilada plate because he was starving as well. But the food was so gross that I felt bad and I just took it with me but ended up throwing it in the trash. $67 later what a waste of money and time horrible. I feel like I was ripped. I would've given this place two stars, but because I feel like it was overpriced for disgusting food, I will not. I would never come back here unless there was a change in owners and the kitchen. The place needs more love. The food needs to be redone. And when somebody orders refried beans, it should come out with refried beans. Another thing is my stomach hurt later on that night and I know it was from the food. I will definitely be steering clear from this place.

The staff? Absolute gems behind the bar, friendly, sharp, and clearly masters of their craft. They'll recommend a drink as easily as a good read, and somehow nail both. The vibe is what really strikes gold though. Between the shelves of books and the historic touch of the original cash register (which deserves its own drink special, honestly), the whole place feels like stepping into a story you don't want to end. Come for a drink, stay for a chapter... and probably another round.
