If you're heading up to Sequoia or just driving through Three Rivers, Ard Farkle's is a must stop…read more Do not just drive past it. The name is goofy and the vibe is totally charming. Its the kind of place that feels like it belongs exactly where it is, like a little mountain town comfort food spot that actually delivers on the concept. The food is hearty and real. I got a sandwich and fries and it was exactly what you want after hiking around in the heat. Nothing overthought, just good ingredients done right. The portions are generous and the prices are fair for what you get. The staff was friendly in that genuine small town way, not performative, just actually nice. The space has character and sitting there you kind of just decompress. Its in Three Rivers so obviously its not a quick Fresno lunch run, but if your already out that way its 100% worth building your stop around. One of those spots you think about on the drive home.

My other companion ordered the steak and eggs with hashbrowns and that was really tasty and my third part of the group ordered the Monte Cristo with sweet potato fries everything was really good well prepared and prompt service. We sat in the patio and enjoyed the view. It was fantastic. Had such a great experience in a great time. The server was amazing, sattentive, friendly, considerate, and checked up on us a few times. Overall I had a really great time. I definitely want to come back when I'm in three Rivers and I would highly recommend it.

They're serving up your classic diner finds, all very good. The linguica has always been my go to. They also have some pretty good biscuits and gravy. Eggs are cooked perfectly as ordered and the hash browns are so crispy. I'll be coming here for many more years to come!

I'm not too close to Fresno but would recommend this to anyone who is in the area. I would make it a point to come back again if I were in the area for sure! My husband got the chicken and waffles while I ordered one of their specials of the day - rib tips. I got mashed potatoes and macaroni on the side (they were delicious but definitely regretted not trying other sides). The rib tips were perfect, smokey and tender. The fried chicken was sooo crispy and juicy. I do prefer crispier waffles, but it still went well with the very crispy chicken. The portions are plentiful, I had enough for a second meal.

Our favorite: fried green tomatoes and okra for appetizers. The sauce was awesome. 5 stars! The sides: collard greens were very salty for my taste but full of flavor. Rice pilaf was flavorful but was also salty. Sweet potatoes were perfect. Corn bread was just ok. 4 start. We met Chef Paul himself. He was nice and very funny! The restaurant is small so there will be a wait. We got there around 2pm so we didn't have to wait too long. Maybe just 20 mins. We'll be back for sure if we're back on that side again.

The area has no indoor seating, but has outdoor tables giving it a traditional grab and go type feel. Even in packaging you still receive your food order in a brown paper bag. The nostalgia is amazing! The fries were the normal wavy cut with seasoning, but the burger and shake? That's something to talk about. The burger was made fresh and juicy. Even the bacon you can tell was just made. Not sitting on a tray all day. Extremely fresh and very flavorful! The shake I order was what they called the Boston shake. Extremely loaded with chocolate syrup and my choice of bananas on a vanilla ice cream. Rich and great on a summers day !

Only a few people can fit inside at a time, but that is part of the charm. The prices are affordable and the staff were incredibly sweet and welcoming. I tried the ribs first and they were juicy, slightly sweet, and packed with flavor. The edges had a nice crisp to them while the inside stayed tender and moist. I was extra hungry, so I also ordered the tri tip sandwich with a side of mac and cheese. The sandwich was generously packed and the tri tip was delicious. The meat was tender, lean, and perfectly seasoned. It came with a barbecue sauce that had a nice spicy kick, which made it stand out from typical sauces. The mac and cheese did not look flashy, but it ended up being one of the best I have had from a local restaurant. It was not the typical super cheesy style. Instead, it was rich, creamy, and really satisfying. We also tried the cornbread, which was only $1 and a pretty big piece. This was the only item I was not as much of a fan of, as it was a bit dry and crumbly for my taste. That said, I know some Southern style cornbread is meant to be less sweet and more crumbly, so others might enjoy it. Overall, this is a small, cozy barbecue spot with flavorful food, generous portions, and friendly service. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the Selma area.

They had a huge bar, lounge area, and an open kitchen with a lot of staff members working. Both inside and outside was nice with dim lighting. Very modern interior design with their tables, chairs, house plants, and neon signs. The service was top notch. The person came by to serve us water noticed our table was pretty wobbly so he fixed it instantly. I thought that was great for them to notice the small details. They always came by to fill our waters 4-5 times. They also remembered we were celebrating an anniversary so they offered us complementary champagne. Our waitress Celeste was very excellent. She gave suggested me dishes that I couldn't decide. We ended up getting the chicken taquitos ($17), the pork chop ($36) and the prime sirloin ($36). Food was delicious and everything tasted so good. I like the roasted Brussels spouts flakes on the pork chop and even though the sirloin was medium it was still very tender. Even the one time our water cups were empty she noticed and apologized and came back to refill them. The chicken taquitos were very good as well. Bathroom is a little small with only three stalls and one sink but the staff was nice enough to direct me to them cuz they saw I was looking around. Overall is a very good experience. I can see why they're very busy and I hope to come back to try their other dishes!

The dog was walking through the dining area as the owner was bagging up items. Then the dog went behind the counter where drinks and food are served to customers at the bar. Who knows where else the dog goes during off hours if allowed in during business? We cancelled our order and left. We went to another restaurant in town and mentioned this to the owner there and they agreed it was wrong. And also proceeded to tell us rules even concerning service dogs in a restaurant. ( Which obviously is a different situation and they don't roam dining areas). This is California Health Code Violation. Needless to say we won't be eating here again.
