    You my boy Troy!
    Fred V.

    My family and I had an amazing experience today at Riata Ranch. Make sure to book in advance because they are generally booked up. Our trail guides were very knowledgeable and taught us a lot in regards to comfortably controlling your horse and staying safe on the trail. Our trail ride was beautiful and I fell in love with my horse Troy as he was quite a gentleman. Much love to the Riata Ranch and thank you for an amazing experience.

    I brought my daughters out for a fun day at the ranch. Such a friendly staff, but also a beautiful piece of property. Donny was amazing!

    This was a very fun glamping trip. You sorta feel like you are just driving for a long time, but…read morewhen you get there it is amazing! The grounds are beautiful and maintained well,there truly is every thing that you need there. Lots of places to sit by the river and just relax and read, or just enjoy nature. The kitchen is awesome, took us a bit to get it open...but Kenneth does an awesome job of having videos and bar codes to scan. Maybe a helpful hint would be to read his emails. The instructions are there, it just took us a few minutes to figure it and watch the videos. Also if you are towards the back of the campground you will be happier if you pack light! We over packed..haha. He has food containers for each tent inside and out. The shower bathrooms are heated, clean and have a beautiful view. There were lots of yard games(pin pong, corn hole) hiking, a white wood movie screen, saunas, hammocks, an outdoor area to do yoga. AND best of all......it was dog friendly! The only CON. ...there is no ice at the campground or near by. The coolers are yeti which does help keep things cold, and the weather was still quite cold at night, so it wasn't truly an issue except to put into drinks I cannot wait to go back to Kenneth's property and spend more time. Kenneth was around and very knowledgeable. helpful. He was willing to help out and helped with anything we needed. This place was awesome and can't wait to return!

There was a balcony outside and we were right on the river. We thoroughly enjoyed just sitting and watching the river spill over the boulders, it was amazing and even the sound was beautiful .

We ate three meals at the restaurant There were three of us so nine meals total and everything was delicious. Entire staff was so sweet.

But there was something we had not considered, we were going to be going to a place that required us to be fresh and ready to receive the wonder of place by a lack and we only had the energy for an angry stop at a gas station. So this place I visited when I was tired and that kind of gunked up the experience. If I would have gone with more energy to fully open my eyes than this experience would have been wondrous. When I booked the reservation I did it because it was a place by a lake. I enjoy water front dining and I usually use an ocean for scenery and today I was in a place where I could use a large creek. And since I was not going with any specific expectations that lake hit me like a bucket of wow. I remember like seeing the mouth of the lake going down like actual rocks. Like I was seeing the waters that people raft on with commitment to the outdoors. It felt like I had traveled into a place where trees were purest, bird melodies were the only noise in town (besides the water running in the creek), and cabins belonged to those who called the mountains home. I was in a novel and for some reason I felt like it was written by Twain. And that is really what I can say about this place. That is mostly what I remember the beauty of the creek. I wanted to spend more time there, I could have walked it, they had like a lounge but I did not. But I do remember the forested view that went on, and the roaring, jagged leg being a central character other than that I have small things to say. I remember the salad being ok. Denise and I shared a dish, I can't remember why but we did not eat the whole thing. It was inherently bad. But this could have been an off night, or just not the dish of the place, and really you go here for the lake, and the food was great in some ways just not in this specific way. I went to this place a few weeks ago, and, if I had not make it clear I remember the experience of being with the lake. So go here for that experience and let the rest just fall into place.

    - River View Grill & Bar (Three Rivers)…read more My girlfriend and I recently went back to River View Grill & Bar in Three Rivers after not visiting for quite a while. I hadn't been there in at least five years, and it had been over a year since my girlfriend last visited. Unfortunately, this experience was noticeably worse than what we remembered. The location itself is still beautiful, and the river view is definitely the main attraction. That part hasn't changed. But the food quality, consistency, and cleanliness left a lot to be desired this time around. To start with drinks, my girlfriend ordered a Whiskey Sour, both of which she enjoyed. I ordered the spicy Bloody Mary, which was honestly disappointing. It tasted watered down, bland, and not spicy at all. It did come with a generous garnish including bacon, celery, and cucumber, which was nice, but the drink itself lacked flavor. For appetizers, we ordered boneless wings with ranch. Our actual waiter, Juan, was excellent throughout the meal. He was friendly, attentive when he could be, and clearly working hard. Unfortunately, most of the issues came from the food runner/expo staff rather than him. When the appetizer plates and utensils were brought out, the top plate was visibly dirty with leftover sauce and crumbs still on it, even though it appeared to have gone through the dishwasher. The napkin wrapped around the utensils also had sauce smeared on it, and one of the forks had crusted residue stuck to it. I had to wait over 10 minutes before I could flag someone down to replace everything. That alone was honestly a major concern because cleanliness and sanitation should never be questionable in a restaurant. For entrées, my girlfriend ordered the fish and chips with curly fries and said her food was good overall. I ordered the "famous" open-faced chili burger with curly fries. The burger itself was cooked correctly, but the chili was surprisingly bland and lacked the depth of flavor you would expect from something highlighted so heavily on the menu. On top of that, my plate initially came out with regular fries instead of curly fries. At that point, I honestly wasn't even planning to mention it because the experience had already gone downhill. But when Juan came by, he immediately noticed the mistake himself and went to correct it without me even asking. That reinforced my impression that the issues were not really coming from him personally. Unfortunately, when the replacement curly fries came out, they looked like scraps from the bottom of the fryer basket. Many were tiny, overcooked pieces and noticeably worse quality than the fries my girlfriend had received earlier. Overall, the experience just felt sloppy and inconsistent. Between the bland Bloody Mary, dirty dishes and utensils, incorrect food, low-quality replacement fries, and general lack of attention to detail from parts of the staff, it really changed my impression of the restaurant. The river view is still nice, but there are plenty of other places in Three Rivers where you can enjoy the scenery while also having a better dining experience. Sadly, this visit did not leave a good impression, and I'm not sure I would return.

    So many good things to say about our experience at this wonderful restaurant!!…read more My wife and I were staying in Three Rivers, going to the neighboring National Parks for 4 days. We came across Ol Buckaroo off a recommendation by our AirBnB Host. It was so good we came in TWICE for dinner on different days during our stay. I'll highlight both meals I had. But first, the service was great. Both times we came in the restaurant wasn't terribly busy (around 5 PM on weekdays) and we were seated right away. Keep in mind by 6ish/6:30 loads of customers were coming in. The restaurants is cute and small inside with maybe 10-12 tables, but a ton of outdoor seating with mist-fans. We decided to stay inside both times. Our servers who take care of us on both days were attentive and kind, getting us everything we needed quickly and constantly checking on us. Regarding the food: 1st night I ordered the "Pesto Pasta with chicken"--Spaghetti with a creamy basil pesto sauce. To drink I ordered their house-made soda--soda with Watermelon flavoring (yum). You get a large portion of delicious spaghetti (definitely your money's worth) soaked in pesto sauce. The chicken was tender and moist. It was a perfect, carb-filled meal following a long day of hiking. The soda was also tasty and fresh. I highly recommend this dish to anyone coming in with some big-time hunger. The 2nd visit I ordered the "Buckaroo Burger:"--a durham ranch beef patty, American Cheese, lettuce, tomato and Buckaroo sauce. I had a side of fries and to drink, the "Pims Cup:" Sparkling Water, lemon, cucumber, and fruit garnish. On the menu the drink is described as, "slightly sweet and refreshing with a hint of anise flavor," perfectly described and true. The burger was good (maybe not as good as the Pesto Pasta I had a couple nights before, but good). It was everything a good burger should be! Ol Buckaroo contributed to our amazing stay and vacation and we hope to come back one day. We'll definitely be recommending to any of our friends and family who ever plan to go to Sequoia or Kings Canyon National Parks. What a gem.

    Please don't let the handful of positive reviews fool you--this place is a true 0-1 star…read moreexperience. The first red flag should have been when we arrived at 10 a.m. and the front door was still locked, despite there being two groups on the patio and a couple of cars in the lot. We brushed it off, thinking maybe we'd just missed the breakfast rush. The service was slow, but that wasn't the real issue. The food quality was absolutely bottom of the barrel. Our orders were incorrect, they were out of basic items like milk, and the French toast tasted like it had been made with toilet water. It was completely inedible. After the French toast meals were removed, we still walked out paying over $70 for just drinks and two kids' meals. Completely unacceptable. Never again--we should've trusted our gut and left the moment we started questioning it. Save yourself the disappointment and go literally anywhere else. Would you like me to make a shorter, punchier version (more straight to the point for quick readers) as well, or keep it in this detailed style?

I hate when people give a one star when they still ate the food. Anyways I called to see how late I could order. Come to find out I can order to go all the way until 9:30pm. I ordered my food around 8:30 pm tonight. Lady on phone said it would be ready in 15min. I got there about 8:50 and the food had just come out. Now about the food.. first off I have never been to a place that you can order steak with refried beans and Mexican rice. Lol..So I knew I had to order it! I ordered the rib eye steak, beans and veggies. I wasn't expecting anything great but let me tell you..the food was very good. I first took a bite of the medium rare steak and it was cooked perfect! Then I had to try those beans! And they were really good and the veggies were perfectly soft but not too soft. Usually when I eat at Texas Roadhouse their veggies are always too crunchy. So this was a big surprise. I will be here one more day and more than likely I will be coming back to eat in their outdoor dining area. Sometimes you just have to give something a chance.
