Let me start with getting inside the bar first..... my friend and I arrived around 9:45 pm and the line was super long. Also the place was almost at capacity so the wait was going to be quite a time. Luckily, we had a reservation and we were able to enter without waiting in line. Once you enter, welcome to little Mexico in Reedley! People are dancing and drinking all over the bar and there are a few tables that were already reserved by big groups. My respects to the bartenders as they were working all night nonstop. It took my friend about 30 minutes to be able to order something to drink. We did noticed that bartenders were not following a line, and they would show preference to those who were ordering big amounts of alcohol. I get it.... it's a business... and it's so hard to notice who is first in line and why not. Finding a place to hang out it was a bit hard. You really need to reserve a table or you will be standing all night. Luckily we were invited into one of the tables by some amazing girls there. So we made new friends :) The place was so packed, you were literally almost shoulder to shoulder and the cops show up because it was way at capacity. There was no drama, the cops left and no one was able to come in anymore . So if you were waiting at 11 l:30 pm outside, I'm sorry you couldn't get in :( The music was amazing! They had Banda then the DJ played cumbias, regetton and music in English. A few things to improve and this place would be a 5 rating place are: 1. Space to dance! If there could be a mini dance floor, people would have so much more fun. People were dancing by their tables and there were a few broken bottles accidents. Liability is no joke. 2. The band was amazing! But it literally didn't have a place to play. The band was playing in between the tables. These talented people should have accommodations! Unless that's how it goes? 3. There was no one to clean tables. Empty bottles were accumulating and that created broken bottle accidents. 4. Come at your own risk because no temperature checks were taken. The only people wearing masks were the bartenders. Thank God for vaccines. Overall, this place was a lot of fun! It's about a 35 minute drive from Clovis, so if you are drinking, make sure to have a designated driver! Cops are usually hanging out outside the bar to make sure the city and people are safe. I fully recommend this place for all occasions.

I ordered the **BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger**, and while the presentation wasn't the most impressive, it does come with an onion ring, which is a nice touch. It's not my favorite burger on the menu, but it's still very good. I'd give it an **8/10**. The **Monster Burger** is where it's at, though! This is easily a **9/10** and one of those burgers you really can't go wrong with. The portion size, quality, and price are all excellent, and I especially love that it comes with two different types of cheese. Definitely one of the best options here. We also ordered the **Southwestern Salad**, which was really good. I would recommend asking for extra dressing because it could definitely use a little more. Overall, I'd give the salad an **8/10**. The **fries are always a 10/10**. The side portion is huge and easily enough to share, which makes it an even better value. The drinks are good as well. The **service is always top-notch**. They treat you like family, and the food comes out quickly. I also like that the restaurant has both a traditional service side, where tipping is optional, and a self-service side where you find your own table and pick up your food, so tipping isn't necessary. The **ambiance is one of the best things about this place**. If you're a sports fan, you'll love it. There's tons of sports memorabilia throughout the restaurant and plenty of TVs showing different games. It's a great place to hang out, grab some food, and watch sports. Being right across the street from Fresno State is also a huge plus. The only real downside is the **parking**. They definitely need to find a way to increase the amount of parking because it can be difficult to find a spot. Overall, this is a great place with **good food, generous portions, reasonable prices, excellent service, and an unbeatable sports atmosphere**. Definitely worth checking out!

He lives in Fresno and knows where all the good spot to eat were. DHG is my kind of bar & grill. It's lively, with good food, lots of beer options, big screen TVs playing sport and filled with locals. I went with the ABC burger, which was fantastic. My team mate mentioned that was his go-to burger. As a matter of fact all three of us ordered the same burger. We also ordered french fries, onion rings and yeah, multiple pints of beer. Everything was great and I see why it is so popular. We all agreed this would be the location for our next team meeting. And now for the pics.

It still has that "danish" feel on the inside as well. The people were friendly, and the place was clean. They have a decent sized bar, with TVs to watch sports. They have a decent menu with everything from appetizers, salads, burgers, and entrées. I wanted to go a bit light, so I went for the Caesar salad with tri-tip, and the dressing on the side. The salad comes quick, and overall it was a good salad. The Parmesan was good, the veggies were nice, the tri-tip was a tiny bit chewy, but it had a very good flavor to it. I also liked the Caesar dressing very much. However, the reason I'm taking off a star, is because the salad was watery. There wasn't that much tomato, so I really believe it was because when they washed the greens, they didn't dry them off completely. It really diluted the dressing. It was still a very good salad, so I will only takeoff one star. I didn't send it back, because I didn't catch it until I was about halfway through the salad. That would not have been fair. The price was very reasonable, and they do offer a military/veterans discount. I would definitely come back and try other items on the menu, but I think I'm gonna stay away from the salads from now on. Thanks anyway.

We sat at the bar and didn't get helped until about 10mins after while they sat everyone else. Unfortunately there was the "bartender" and one waitress for the whole restaurant. So sadly we were attended to as often as we needed. Like when the food came we had no napkins or utensils. We asked for some and took about 5mins to have them brought over. The bartender was very apologetic throughout but instead of saying sorry everytime she saw us help us out. My husband ordered the tritip sandwich with chili. The gave him fries so we had to ask for the chili. I got the pulled pork and sweet potato fries. Everything was good. We ordered a salad to go and it took less time than anything else.

Both were very good, but the massive, soft pretzel was a favorite for all of us, and my kids especially loved the cheese dipping sauce. The steak bites weren't as popular with the kiddos, but my wife and I really enjoyed them. They come tossed in a sauce, but we opted for the garlic herb and horseradish cream instead. I especially loved the heat from the horseradish sauce since it didn't overwhelm the steak's flavor. I ordered the Nashville Crispy Chicken sandwich and was a little underwhelmed by the spice level. Based on the picture, I expected the chicken to be tossed in the Nashville sauce, but there was only a small dollop on the bun. The sauce itself was amazing, though! I asked for a cup of it on the side for dipping and there was plenty of heat. Beyond the lack of sauce, I really enjoyed the sandwich, and the citrus slaw and pickle added a nice brightness to the fried chicken. My kids loved their pizza and mac 'n' cheese, and our server, Bella, was awesome. She was friendly and super helpful when it came to menu questions. Overall, great experience and a solid place for lunch!

I ordered the asada nachos and was surprised by the $8 upcharge for the meat. The portion was extremely small--honestly, an Oscar Mayer hot dog contains more beef. The nachos themselves were decent, but far from memorable, especially considering the nearly $25 price tag. I also tried a couple of drinks. The pineapple upside-down cocktail was enjoyable, though definitely on the sweeter side, and I couldn't really taste any alcohol in it. Since the Bloody Mary was voted Best in Fresno, I had to give it a try. It wasn't bad, but it was pretty average and didn't stand out from countless others I've had. The real highlight of this place is the staff. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service. If you're looking for a sports bar atmosphere with plenty of games on TV, you'll probably enjoy it. If you're primarily looking for exceptional food, there are better options in town.

    Kocky's Butta Brunch is a vibe! We made reservations recently to celebrate our daughter's birthday,…read moreit was really fun! Butta Brunch is held only on Sundays, at 11:00 am and 1:00 pm. I made reservations about a week in advance. The 1:00 seatings were already full, which was fine. There is a $35 reservation fee for each 4-person table. If you have more than that in your party, you will be sat next to each other but still have to pay an extra $35 for each additional table. In this economy, that's a little steep especially because it doesn't go towards your tab. We arrived a few minutes before 11 and had to wait in a line until the doors opened. Once the doors open there is still a bit of a wait as each party is seated. It is very well organized. When we sat, we immediately ordered a mimosa tower ($60) They had a few options, like a skittles tower or one with lemonade instead of OJ. The brunch menu has a good variety of options. We ordered a variety of dishes which everyone loved. When I go back - and I will - I would share a plate; each plate was enough for two people. Every dish was under $20; I thought it was an excellent value for the quality and amount of food. My biscuits and gravy breakfast was so good. At first the scrambled eggs looked too soft but no, they were perfect. The mimosas were also great. From the time you walk in to the end of brunch there is a dj playing, keeping the party vibe going. You're celebrating whether you have an occasion to or not! He gave shout outs for birthdays, anniversaries, whatever occasion you are here for and let them know ahead of time (when I made the reservation, there was space to personalize l). I just wish the sound was slightly lower because we had a hard time hearing each other or our server. Speaking of, our server was fantastic, very attentive and friendly.
