I went with the Juju Bleu, Calamity Jane, and Betsy Ross. I'll admit, I'm usually not a fan of bleu cheese, so I'm not sure why I picked the Juju Bleu--but I'm glad I did. It was surprisingly delicious. The Betsy Ross was solid and classic, with Thousand Island sauce--tasty, though nothing particularly standout. The Calamity Jane was the clear winner for me; the combination of sautéed onions, barbecue sauce, and mushrooms was absolutely spot-on. We also upgraded our side to clam chowder. It had great flavor, though it was a bit thicker than I prefer--not a dealbreaker by any means. Service really made the experience shine. Paula was phenomenal--attentive, friendly, and quick to check in on us and keep everything running smoothly. Overall, this is a great spot for lunch with friends or coworkers. Since it's right on Main Street, parking can be a bit tricky, so I'd recommend using a nearby public lot and taking a short walk over.

I got the lamb mixed grill lunch plate with medium lamb kebabs, chicken and beef kebabs with rice pilaf and fattoush salad. ($27/$30 with tip). You can see the chef prepare your food in the open kitchen. The food is vibrant, flavorful, and came out hot. The lamb is tender and didn't have a gamey taste. The chicken was citrusy and juicy. The beef kebab was cooked to perfection as well. The baklava was sweet, crisp, flaky and fresh. I'll try the gyro and falafel next time!

I ordered the Beef Shawarma Lunch Plate, and I was immediately impressed by the presentation. Everything looked fresh, colorful, and appetizing. The beef was fresh, tender, and perfectly cooked, while the rice was soft and flavorful. The creamy sauce added another layer of flavor and complemented the beef beautifully. The fattoush salad was fresh, and its dressing tied the entire meal together nicely. Since it's a fast-food restaurant, you order at the counter, receive a receipt, and they bring the food to your table. The restaurant itself was spacious and clean, with plenty of parking outside. The staff was also friendly and helpful. Overall, this is a great spot for a quality Mediterranean lunch without the wait of a traditional sit-down restaurant. Definitely a place I'd come back to!

Have you ever been to a place, and immediately needed to leave a review?! That's what happened…read morehere. I'm so bad at leaving reviews right away, but this place deserved it. Also, I only found it because of Yelp, so I should pay it forward! The service was incredible. I don't remember the young girls name, but my receipt says "KDS U" as server if that helps. She was so nice and patient with my millions of questions. And she pointed me in the right direction. When I got home and ate my 3 piece tenders with Mac n cheese, I was so happy. It was so tasty. I also got the classic and ranch sauce. She compared the classic sauce to raising canes, which was helpful. But I'll say this, the chicken is great without the sauce (unlike canes). I made sure to take my first bite before any dipping. The ranch is house made and also Delicious. And last, the price was great. I will definitely be back. I wasn't even that hungry and I devoured my food because it was so good! Thank you to the cashier again. She was so pleasant and helpful.

The food is a 1 out of 10 for me!... reason being I waited 23 minutes for my food placed the order at 3:10 and received it At 3:33 nevertheless this is my first time in the establishment I heard a lot of great reviews from friends who have tried it and thought to give it a try on Christmas Day ...now I'm thinking if the food takes this long it has to taste great right... WRONG ordered 3 pcs tender/$13.49 fry combo $1.50 8pc chicken $13.49 fry combo $4.99 Total $36.31 For that price it doesn't sit well with me that I was unhappy about the food breading on chicken was burnt on some ends and soggy on others some of the chicken breading fell of because of how greasy the chicken is and overall didn't not taste good I gave it 4 good bites but I couldn't bare anymore. Money down the drain. I could've gone to in and out or I could have gone to McDonalds but the fact that I choose here should be a reason the food should taste good for people to come back for years to come Won't be back very disappointing..

My husband and I wanted to try the upstairs dining area, The Hayloft, at Bravo Farms. We already…read moreknow Bravo Farms for its fresh food, so we were excited to experience the more elevated menu and enjoy drinks at the bar. The upstairs has an open seating concept, with only a few tables reserved ahead of time. The atmosphere strikes a nice balance between upscale and casual, with low lighting, large comfortable chairs, and an intimate feel that's perfect for a date night or relaxed dinner. Keep in mind that the prices are higher than downstairs, but so is the menu. We started with a White Linen cocktail, which was incredibly refreshing on a hot summer afternoon and the perfect way to kick off our visit. We originally planned to order the Burrata Caprese with Fresh Basil, but they were sold out--which must mean it's a popular choice! Instead, we opted for the Maple Glazed Brussels Sprouts, and they were absolutely delicious. The dish featured thinly sliced Serrano chilis that added just the right amount of heat. The crunch from the walnuts paired perfectly with the feta cheese and balsamic reduction. Best of all, the Brussels sprouts were cooked perfectly--crispy and tender without being soggy in the slightest. We loved this unique take on Brussels sprouts and can't wait to return to try more of the menu. Mia was our server and was both friendly and helpful, making our experience even better.

I took some stars off due to poor service, this time around, food preparation and restaurant hours of operation. The restaurant closes promptly at 9:00 pm, so typical of Visalia dining. We got there at 8:00 pm and it took a good 15-20 mins for waitstaff to take our order. We ordered two appetizers and cocktails and the food came before our cocktails. So, unbeknownst to us, we literally had about 25-30 minutes to eat and drink...ridiculous and unacceptable to not be informed of our short dining time. The restaurant lights came on promptly at 9ish, pretty much informing dining customers that it was time to wrap it up. But prior to that, while still clearly eating and drinking, waitstaff kept coming by trying to pickup our appetizer plates (they still had plenty of food left & our drinks were still full)..like I said rushing us out. It was definitely a poor experience. The appetizer of fried calamari was a miss, not crispy and clumps of calamari stuck together. The sweet potato fries were limp and not hot. Our cocktails were delicious. I'm so disappointed that I had such a poor experience at the Hayloft.

I'll usually take half the sandwich home. Can't go wrong with any style. I didn't think I'd like the traditional banh mí with pâté but was pleasantly surprised! It was good! I wish the available sauces on the table were cleaned daily, they can be sticky with dried up sauce on the caps or the fish sauce spout clogged. Although, that one complaint, the food is consistent and delicious ... although, I have had more flavorful broth elsewhere, I still enjoy this restaurant. The Banh Mí sandwich bread is so light, crispy, and soaks up that broth beautifully! Service is quick. Restaurant is small with plenty of seating. They've got to work on cleanliness though & change cleaning rags daily, if not more often. Smelly rags & tables, & noticing servers not wash hands between cleaning and serving isn't good business. I hope this will get better. Maybe that day was a one off ... but I'm not so sure.
