Stopped in last month (mid-December 2024) for a quick bite while driving from Stockton back home to Orange County.

Since I was still travelling but wanted to take a bit of a detour, I stopped in and was able to get some street tacos and soup for an afternoon lunch. The tacos were very tasty and a good value, probably due to it being happy hour. Not a lot of people inside, but service was still quick and friendly.

As I knew the former owner, Dennis, from a few years back, I wanted to check in and see if the he had indeed sold the establishment and how that would affect things.

Happy to say that at least for my very small sample size, things had not changed for the worse. While I'm a little sad that it's under new ownership, I certainly can't complain about the quality, so I won't mind taking a quick detour on my next drive through the area, as I find the Taft region to be an interesting place and I won't have to hesitate to swing by here again.

Probably not as thorough as other reviews I've done, but my impression was very favorable and I expect to give a better accounting of myself in a review in the future.

I ordered The Really Good Burger with bleu cheese & waffle fries. All of the ingredients were super fresh and delicious. The burger was wonderful! The server was helpful and added to the relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Definitely recommend.

Hi !

This bar clearly have No social awareness or even know how read a room , showing no such welcoming to new customers or even checking in.

There was a women invading our personal space and boundaries trying to enjoy our vacation visiting in this town/bar but touching my sister very disrespectfully clearly shows that we had nothing to do with that women and bothering my sister ( on camera it shows my sister ignoring her and avoiding even in eye contact )

In which I was observing from afar at our table and later that same women had the audacity to sit on our table talking whatever she had to say was disrespectful and rude ! In results we had to get kicked out of that bar because of her.

Due to cameras listening to our conversation about how upset we were with that women in our space they decided to kick us out , No body checked on us if we were okay or enjoying our selfies we were new customers having good time.

That women clearly approached and touched my sister first and invaded our space when we were just having a calm And good time socially.

So thank you for not wanting to come back whatsoever, ridiculous.

I absolutely LOVE what Melissa has done to the place. She's breathed life back into it and it's busier than ever most nights. I especially like everything the menu has to offer, including 'specialty' drinks like the "Cash Out" with its green hue and tasty flavor.
The bartenders and waitresses are all rockstars, most of all, the owners!

So i visit my in laws and drop by there local sports bar and after 3 drinks in. I get kicked out due to discrimination,after 3 girls caused drama towards my in laws,one thing i can say this was horrible atmosphere and customer service. Complete disappointed. 2 young ladys come invade my sister space and start calling her names and trying cause a scene while whole bar just sits there and watch. Ill be keeping tabs on this place and will experiencing there service again soon.
{you should feel ahshame for kicking paying customer that pay for quality time and peace with family.
•Lack of security or customer service.
{average 1 star for your local bar:)

I love this place. The food is great with two of the best cooks in town, the atmosphere is great, it almost feels like home. I frequent a few times a week most weeks.

We went for lunch. The service was good, but the food wasn't that great. It wasn't bad enough not to eat, but it's way below what you'd expect from a restaurant or bar. The music was also pretty loud for a lunch crowd (there were about 2-6 customers)
