So I told my crew since we were in the Visalia area we could go to a nice dinner at Texas Roadhouse. I think my expense account can handle Texas Roadhouse. NO endless alcohol, we're NOT do'in that! This location was easy to find, it just next to a Panda Express on South Mooney Blvd, just south of Visalia Parkway. Way easy parking. We got here before the crowds built up, they always do at Texas Roadhouse. We've been to other locations so my crew know how it all works here. Drink orders are taken by our friendly server. The inside here looks pretty much like all the rest of the Texas Roadhouses. I told them just get whatever you want. One guy ordered the full rack of ribs, another got the bone in ribeye, the other girl got the filet medallions and another got the ribeye as well. Appetizers were the onion blossom thingy, and a couple of orders of the potato skins. The food actually arrived pretty fast and it all tasted super nice according to the crew. Those potato skins got gobbled up fast! The ribs were super fall off the bone and the steaks were all cooked as ordered, med rare .... no well done shit with these guys! We took our time and spent maybe 2 hours eating dinner. No way I wanna spend that kinda time for lunch during the work day, but a thank you dinner for a good job it all good.

I'm genuinely disappointed with the food quality here, especially for a restaurant that proudly…read moreclaims all their sides are made from scratch. The mac and cheese has been consistently watery and lacking flavor each time I've tried it. The steaks don't seem seasoned at all simple salt and pepper would make a world of difference. After writing the place off, TikTok convinced me to give it another shot because people were raving about the pork chops. That was a mistake. I've never had meat that dry. It felt like chewing sawdust, and my jaw was done after two pieces. I took the rest home for the dog. It's frustrating because I truly respect how much gratitude this business shows toward veterans, but with how expensive the bill was, the food should be prepared far better. On the positive side, our waitress was friendly and attentive. However, if you plan on having a couple of beers, order two at once they won't arrive until your food is about to hit the table. Overall, I'm saddened that the food is subpar, especially given the potential this place has and the values it stands behind.

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.

I just had the most incredible dining experience at Sizzler! The star of the show was undoubtedly the steak - it was cooked to perfection and literally melted in my mouth. The flavors were rich and savory, and the tenderness was unparalleled. I was blown away by the quality and taste of the steak, and it's clear that Sizzler knows their stuff when it comes to a great cut of meat. But it wasn't just the steak that impressed - the service was top-notch, the atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable, and the value for money was unbeatable. I left feeling full and satisfied, but already can't wait to go back and do it all again. read more

One of them suggested we try Don Vinos as they have a decent bar area. We went on Friday evening and it wasn't a little busy but not so much that it was obnoxious. Also, even though it was busy, our waitress was on it. As soon as we sat down, she brought over menus and took our drink orders. When I asked about what kind of margaritas they had, she informed me which ones were made with fresh in-house squeezed juice. They all sounded amazing but I opted for the standard with fresh squeezed lemon/lime juice. Our drinks were brought to us not 5 minutes later and then we gave our orders. We ordered the chips and guacamole as an appetizer for the table. It was brought out shortly after we ordered it and was a good portion for 4 people. However, I just wish the guac had more salt as it was a bit bland. For an entree, I opted for the Chili Verde Pizza, which seemed to be the perfect item from this place (an Italian themed restaurant with several Mexican dishes). And, oh man...was this amazing. They use the chili verde sauce as the sauce for the pizza, which is brilliant. Also, the pork had just enough spice. All of my friends and I enjoyed our entrees except for one: A friend of mine had ordered the Fettuccini Alfredo he had on a previous trip to Don Vino's but told me that the new preparation was different from his last time having the dish and it was not as great as before. Other than that, we all finished our dishes and were satisfied. I definitely recommend Don Vino's as a must go in Porterville. The only things keeping me from giving it a 5-star review were the guac being a bit bland and the consistency of dishes being a bit off for my friend. Also, if you don't like super loud restaurants, this might be a skip as the acoustics in there are loud. Other than that, the servers are attentive, the drinks are delicious, and the food is good.
