Rhapsody Soul Food - Fresno, CA! Good Food, Genuine Hospitality, and a Whole Lot of Love!…read more On Wednesday, October 21, around 3 PM, my girlfriend, our one-year-old daughter, and I stopped by Rhapsody Soul Food on Shaw Avenue in Fresno, and let me tell you, this is the kind of place that reminds you why supporting local businesses matters! When we arrived, a very nice gentleman working the front counter helped us. Later, we had the pleasure of meeting Miss Gloria, who came to our table and shared that she had taken over the business just FOUR DAYS earlier! I have so much respect for someone taking that leap of faith and putting their heart into a business. Congratulations, Miss Gloria! Now, let's talk about the FOOD! My girlfriend and I both ordered the three-piece chicken wings with sides, and everything was delicious. That mac and cheese! I'd never tasted anything quite like it. It had a unique texture with a little cake-like quality that made it stand out. Our one-year-old daughter loved the mac and cheese and cornbread, too! As a parent, it's always special finding somewhere the whole family can enjoy a meal. The GREENS were superb! You could taste the time and care put into them. The baked beans were another highlight, with generous chunks of hamburger meat that gave them a hearty, homemade feel. You could taste the love in every bite! And those YAMS? GOOD! Sweet, comforting, and the perfect addition to a soul food plate. Everything had that home-cooked quality that makes you appreciate a meal even more. And you know the food was good when you take some home! We enjoyed everything so much that we brought home an additional side of greens, a side of baked beans, and TWO MORE PIECES OF CORNBREAD! We wanted to keep enjoying that goodness after leaving the restaurant! Let's talk value, too. Our meals came to under $45 for the two of us, and we even had extra food to take home. Considering the food, the sides, and the welcoming experience, I thought that was a great value. What made this visit special wasn't just the food. It was the people! Thank you to the gentleman at the front counter for being so kind, and to Miss Gloria for taking the time to speak with us personally. Starting a new business isn't easy, and I hope the Fresno community shows Miss Gloria some love and support. Small businesses deserve a chance to grow, especially when people are putting genuine effort into what they do. I'm already looking forward to coming back! The next time I'm in Fresno, I'll definitely be stopping by again, and I plan on bringing my grandparents, too. They make amazing soul food at home, but even the best home cooks deserve a break sometimes! Let Miss Gloria take care of us for a change! I can honestly see Rhapsody Soul Food becoming one of my regular stops whenever I'm in Fresno. When you find good food, welcoming people, and somewhere you feel comfortable bringing your family, that's a place worth remembering. Miss Gloria, congratulations on taking over the business! I wish you nothing but success, growth, and blessings on this journey. I hope your business flourishes, and I look forward to supporting you again! If you're in Fresno and looking for comforting soul food, stop by Rhapsody Soul Food on Shaw Avenue and give them a try. Sometimes the best restaurants aren't the fanciest. They're the places where the food tastes like home, the people treat you well, and you leave already planning your next visit. Five stars from our family! Miss Gloria, keep doing your thing. We'll be back!

The space has a few tables inside, they fill up quickly. Space to sit outside as well or order through the app for pickup. Something's changed, the Gravy tastes different to us. We haven't been in a year, so maybe it's tastebuds? It almost looks the same but something tastes different, but y'all be the judge. It tastes more like a cowboy gravy than a white sausage gravy. Getting more smoky flavor this time and it just isn't our favorite. We got the B&G which is, (1)Biscuit and Gravy that also comes with (3) eggs. We also got, The (Big for his Britches). It's the same thing but comes with all the meats! They call it an open faced sandwich. That thing was loaded with gravy, eggs, a few different meats like a sausage patty, bacon, and linguica. Only problem(s) are the flavor of the gravy. We didn't see the option for apple butter; just jam and honey butter. The meat was a little chewy but a positive, the biscuits were good. I do recommend people try them out. Everyone's taste buds are different, plus they aren't skimping on portion size, so that's a win. Plus they have a nice espresso machine and offer some cool-flavored coffees and regular delicious black coffee for the old-school people.

Harris Ranch Resort is a great overnight stop on a road trip. I've been here a few times now, but…read morethis was my first time staying in the triple king suite. I was a little disappointed to hear on the first floor and facing the street as it was kind of noisy, but it was a short stay. What I liked: -California King bed -Lots of extra seats - breakfast area with 2 chairs, a lazy boy and also desk chair -Robes (2nd time having robes in my room and always a great touch)! -Ironing board -Hair dryer -Mini Fridge & Microwave -Food and Drinks to purchase -TV -Complimentary Cookies + Tea/Coffee in the mornings -Friendly and helpful staff! What I disliked/needs improvement: -The vents in my room were terribly dusty to the point where I didn't even want to turn the air or heat on -Felt like the room had a lot of dusty areas -Would love to have a towel bar near the sink to hang a face towel for washing my face (replace the lotion with a towel bar) -The drinks for purchase we not even arranged well and I want clear they cost money at first glance (looked like they were left over) -Really outdated curtains and decor -I did not like the big side table next to the bed Overall though, Harris Ranch is a great place to stay. They have a great big pool, jacuzzi, plenty of restaurants and food options, heck, they even have a country store, bbq and gas station on site! What's not to love?

Unfortunately, the dining experience didn't quite live up to the prices. Service was a bit slow, although our server was friendly. The $5.95 cup of soup was probably the smallest serving I've ever encountered at that price. We both ordered the Caesar salad with flank steak ($30). The portion was generous, with fresh avocado, blue cheese crumbles and a zesty horseradish dressing. The steak appeared overcooked but was extremely tender, seemingly from mechanical tenderization. Worth a stop for the history, but the food was underwhelming for the price.

The burgers they have here are not your generic ass burger they make everywhere else. It's one of those burgers you can't get a clean bite because of how big it is Location is quite far out from many big towns but once you've had it once, it makes you want to travel from far just to have it again. Burgers are expectedly pricey but you are paying for quality. Give the place some love if you haven't done so, this is one of those small spots that need the attention. I usually never make reviews but a burger like this deserves one.

Some times it is busy but keep calling. You can definitely order in person but your wait might be long. There isn't a real place to sit and wait inside; fit about two or three people standing. Also not 100% sure but the prices online don't seem correct. Just expect paying $10 to $18 per burrito depending on customization or simplicity. Extras are an added cost. The why this place is the best? Consistency throughout the burrito on ingredients and taste. The eggs are fluffy or perfectly runny. Their salsa is exactly mild or spicy. If you and a friend have the exact same taste one burrito is enough for both of you. If not then you have breakfast for two days. I typically get the veggie chic cousin and it is almost three meals. Its good every time and filling. We don't know how they make it consistently good but whatever magic it is i hope they continue to stay. Double check days and times.

It was horrible, very dry not a good flavor, and ya can't pass chuck off as brisket. Who cuts brisket like that for a sandwich, and what part of the brisket? Flat maybe? Definitely not point, it was sooooo dry, not beefy and juicy and fatty like a good brisket. The guy said there was a 30 pounder out on the smoker, they must leave it on for 30 days to cook every last bit of moisture out of it.dry and stringy. The guy said the potato salad was his mom's recipe ( maybe if it was Reese's or Frist Street out of a box) no mayo mustard flavor or pickles or celery, just the artificial store taste, the Bbq sauce was thin watery not great, but maybe use it to rehydrate the brisket ( chuck or clod) I was there years ago, probably 10 years I don't know what happened.I know they have changed hands a few times . I would not recommend, very disappointed, only ate half of the tiny sandwich bun with the brisket in it , definitely need water to wash it down, ate maybe 1/4 to 1/3 of the brisket, just wasn't good, I wanted to like it but?? Potato salad maybe 1/3 same. They won't get my money again. You can't pass chuck off as brisket for those who know, you just know, or maybe they just can't cook a brisket properly. Do better guys
