Lean up after them. She gave great explanations of specials and really was quite welcoming and a believer in the beverages and food items sold. 5/5 rating for customer service!! The food was typical bar fare for me. But she made it taste better! I will say whoever was frying the food not only had the perfect temp on the fried food choices but also perfect timing. Everything was super crunchy and perfectly salty! This is hard to do, definitely wasn't expected at all place like this!!! Perfectly frying and salting food 5/5 She recommended the pomegranate beer and it was delicious!! It was crisp, floral, lightly sweet, bubbly and everything she promised it would be!! We ordered several items to share. All items ordered were based off her recommendation.. Wings: Fried to perfect texture.. flavor was ok.. the texture made them taste better!!!!! Fries: perfectly crispy on the outside stood up to both time and being dipped while remaining crunchy!! Perfectly salted also! Nothing sucks more than getting a fry that isn't salted! Italian nachos: we were all hesitant about this order. The pesto was a perfect addition it it was actually delicious! I've made this at home since!! Would I return? Her customer service knocked it out of the park for me! The place was incredibly busy and she multitasks like no other! She didn't forget a single thing, was hustling and kept the place very clean all by herself! The perfect fry for average flavor food made it better!!! HELL YES!!

Second Son continues to evolve into Rancho's favorite brewery. They've streamlined the experience…read moreby closing the extension and food service to focus on what they do best--great beer. Their beer selection keeps getting better, and they've also expanded their non-alcoholic options, which is perfect if you want something delicious without the guilt. If the munchies hit, you're covered. The popcorn machine is usually running, along with Bobby Salazar salsas and chips, plus a basket of assorted snacks. They even have a small selection of sodas if you've got kids with you. Tonight they hosted a food vendor, and the asada quesadilla was amazing. We also tried the spicy pickle michelada--yes, we were skeptical too--but it was so good we ended up having three each. Love watching Second Son continue to grow and evolve.

I ended up at Summer Park's Brewing today by accident, and I'm really glad I gave it another shot…read more My first visit here was about three years ago on a busy Friday night, and it left a bad impression. I was standing in line, second or third, when another employee opened a register and pulled someone from behind me just because they were a regular. That didn't sit right with me, and it honestly kept me from coming back for a long time. That said, even back then, I tried a few flights and remember the beers being solid across the board. Nothing amazing, but nothing bad either, just consistently middle-of-the-road. Fast forward to today, and it feels like a completely different place. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by George, who was outstanding. Friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming, he took the time to answer questions, explain the brewery's history, and make thoughtful recommendations. He suggested the chips and dip, which I highly recommend, simple but really well done. I ended up going through three flights this time: a dark/malty flight, a hazy flight, and a sour flight. The sour lineup was fantastic across the board. That said, the standout of the entire visit was the dark Kölsch. It was exceptional and easily the best beer I had. Even the red ale, which I normally don't enjoy, was surprisingly solid. Overall, everything I tried was at least a 5/10 or better. Nothing here dips below average, and several options are genuinely impressive. For context, I tend to grade beer pretty harshly. I've tried a wide range of beers and actively seek out harder-to-find options, so if I'm calling something "middle of the road," most people will probably find it better than that. This lineup will land well for the average beer drinker. The atmosphere has also improved significantly. They've added more seating, expanded into a second room with pinball machines, and the music has been consistently great the entire time I've been here. The front room has four TVs, with one dedicated to the menu and three playing sports, which adds to the relaxed, social vibe. The space is clean, well-maintained, and easy to enjoy whether you're with friends or on a casual date. Parking is decent, around 20-25 spots, and wasn't an issue. What really stands out is how much this place has improved overall. If you had blindfolded me and brought me here today, I wouldn't believe it was the same place I visited three years ago. I'm still not thrilled about how that first visit went, but credit where it's due, this place has made a major turnaround. Between the service, the atmosphere, and the quality of the beer, especially that dark Kölsch, I would absolutely recommend giving this place a try. I'll definitely be back.

Spotted this from Whole Foods…read more Customer service was ok. We asked a few questions regarding the beer, just seemed generic! Like he was just telling us anything. We've been drinking beer, and around brew master's too long for you to just tell us anything off the top of your head! They have heaters outside, and some table and chairs around them. It was too cold for me to be outside even with the heaters on. Inside isn't that big, so If there was no seating, inside for us we wouldn't have stayed. We found a couple of seats at the end of the bar. They had one beer for us. It was pretty good. I think we are just having a good time exploring the Fresno area looking for the beer we like. Again, we are very picky about our beer, I'm sure you can find plenty to drink at this establishment.

A bit pricey but worth the sip if you want to get out of the usual stuff. I keep a batch at home as they are gaining popularity and they fly off the shelves in my area. Dark horse is awesome, now called "Dark Wolf" for those who lost track of it and ask for it at tap houses and the servers are not up to date with the change with Dark Wolf, Your flavors are Boysenberry & Vanilla. We recently came across Maui Sunset and this one is definitely an excellent summer drink, the flavor notes on this one is passion fruit, orange & guava. Thanks Crow & Wolf Brew Co!

No liquor. We ordered the Big Sur double IPA & Hazy IPA and can't go wrong with IPAs. The ambiance and vibe is just awesome and chill with some shuffleboard game available to play with friends too. We sat in front of the live music I guess happens on the fri & weekends assuming? Not bad & they're funny too.

It was fairly easy to navigate via the QR code and the BH employees can help you too which is awesome. Can't complain with good food & drinks for the perfect parent night out! Will be back!

Today my sister and I had a very disappointing experience at BarrelHouse in the RiverPark plaza…read more A waiter named Donald, who later identified himself as an assistant manager, approached us and accused us of drinking outside liquor. When we explained that we had not consumed anything, he became verbally rude and even used profanity toward us. The situation escalated unnecessarily, and despite us remaining calm, he called security. We asked to speak with a manager, and while most of the staff behind the bar were not helpful in deescalating the situation, one (male) bartender did inform us that the manager was arriving. When she did, she handled everything professionally--she quickly recognized we were not being confrontational and asked security to leave. She was calm, understanding, and respectful, which we truly appreciated. Unfortunately, due to this experience, we will not be returning. I'm sharing this so others are aware, as no one should feel uncomfortable or disrespected while simply trying to enjoy their time out. Fresno CA, in the RiverPark Plaza.

October 8, 2025 - Madera, CA…read more This was our second visit to Ficklin Vineyards -- our first being several years ago. Remembering how much we enjoyed that first experience, we decided to drive a bit out of our way to stop by again. The staff was as friendly and knowledgeable as we remembered, making the tasting experience both enjoyable and informative. The port wines were excellent, and the fact that there's no tasting fee was a nice bonus. Also, they are dog-friendly! We enjoyed the visit so much that we joined the club, which includes three bottles twice a year (April and October). We purchased the April 2025 club shipment, featuring the Special Reserve Tawny, Adagio Port Blanc, and Roriz Vermelho Ruby. We are looking forward to the October Club release. Ficklin Vineyards is definitely worth the stop if you're anywhere near Madera! (I would recommend calling to verify their hours.)
