Chicken salad $15.99 -- Not worth it at all.

Only place open on Xmas eve. Give them an extra star for that.. Solid 4/10 for the food. Chicken salad $16 for frozen chicken on top of plain lettuce not worth it at all. Burger and fries-- dry, small, and plain. Food was edible but not something I would consider delicious whatsoever. The staff was friendly yes, but based on the food I won't come here ever again.

The menu

This is the second time I've been to Rainbow Drive-In, and both times I've been extremely happy with my experience. This time, I ordered the fried okra and the Philly cheesesteak sandwich. To be honest, it was great. The okra was perfect, crispy, and flavorful. The Philly cheesesteak sandwich was wonderful; it's been a long time since I've ordered a Philly cheesesteak from somewhere and actually enjoyed it this much. The only thing I would do differently is leave the tomatoes off the sandwich. They weren't bad, just not my thing. We used the drive-through, and I was impressed with how clean the building and surrounding area were. The food is bomb, and the service is friendly. Highly recommend!

Bacon Pastrami Burger with fries and okra
Roz C.

Pulling up you question whether or not this is drive through ... wonder how it works. However, the reviews made me demand a pastrami. Inside, it's actually larger than what it seems from the outside. It was very clean and had a decent amount of people either dining or waiting for food (good sign). I told them it was my first visit, and ordered the pastrami sandwich, pastrami bacon burger, fries. They had fried pickles as a special so I added them. The young lady and, what I assumed was the owner were, very nice. The owner personally packed my bag and told me to try the fried Okra with the thousand island dressing ... on the house! It was very sweet of him. The food was delicious. He was right, the okra with thousand island was really good! I LOVED the fried pickles. The pastrami was delicious and the burger outstanding! I think I found my new burger joint! Thanks to the owner! Once I found his name I'll repost.

Too expensive I can get better food anywhere else for a better price. $15.79 is just greed. I'm done buying here and telling my family and friends to stop as well.

Pastrami bacon burger
Clarissa L.

This was our first time here and ever hearing it let me say, these burgers are awesome! I was a little confused how everything worked because we never go to drive up. You just walk up to the window to order then they give you a little beeper for when it's ready so you can wait in your car. The person taking the orders was super friendly and helped me carry some things out when I couldn't carry it all. I felt like they were a great price for the size of the burgers and it was enough food to be filling. I had the pastrami burger combo and everything was great! The fries came out hot and weren't soggy like I feel most crinkle cut fries are, and the burger had balanced flavors so nothing was overpowering. We got the kids burger and chicken nuggets and my kids peacefully shared the chicken nuggets because there were plenty there to share between 2 toddlers. The tea was a bit watered down, but probably just needed the bag switched out. Only thing I'd change is just refilling the drink machine.

Curly fries nice and crispy

Great food, fast. Very very expensive for what you get, that's why I can't give 5 stars. But, I can't complain elsewhere.

This spot used to be Corby's, but in my opinion, it's a huge improvement. The food, service, and…read moreoverall experience were all outstanding. We stopped in on a Sunday afternoon and grabbed seats at the bar. Sam was our server and was fantastic, friendly, attentive, and very knowledgeable about the menu. Her recommendations were spot on. The food absolutely did not disappoint. I ordered the Grilled Chicken Taco Salad, and it was enormous! The tortilla shell was so crispy and well-made that it actually held up for leftovers the next day. The jalapeño ranch had the perfect amount of heat and flavor. We also tried the Drunken Chicken Sandwich. Sam recommended getting it breaded, and I'm glad we listened. The homemade breadcrumb coating was light, crispy, and flavorful without being overly thick or salty. For appetizers, we shared the Fried Pork Belly Bites, which were paired with a delicious coleslaw and a sweet Korean-style BBQ sauce, and the Deviled Eggs, which were AMAZING. They came prepared three different ways, making it fun to try each variation. Honestly, I couldn't pick a favorite. Their beer selection was impressive, and I was especially excited to find Crow & Wolf's Dark Wolf Seltzer on tap, one of my favorites and not something you see everywhere. The restaurant was clean, comfortable, and had plenty of character. Even the ladies' restroom had quirky, fun artwork that added a unique touch to the atmosphere. The size and amount of tv's was impressive. If you're looking for a relaxed vibe, great drinks, exceptional service, and food that delivers, I highly recommend checking this place out. We'll definitely be back.

From the moment you walk in, the entire place has an elegant, upscale feel that really sets it apart from your typical dining experience. One of the first things I appreciated was that the restaurant has its own private parking lot, which makes arriving and parking super convenient. When we arrived, there was a pianist playing live music upstairs, which added such a nice touch to the atmosphere. Between the historic decor, classic elegance, and live piano music, the entire restaurant has a sophisticated charm that's hard to find these days. The menu was excellent, with a great selection of dishes ranging from filet mignon to a variety of drinks and other fine dining options. The hostess was welcoming, our waiter was attentive and professional, and the service throughout the meal was great. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was fantastic, and the overall experience was excellent. Definitely a great spot in Visalia if you're looking for a classy dinner, a special occasion, or just a really nice dining experience. Highly recommend!
