  • There generally isn't much to eat in the parks. There are a few restaurants but they are generally far. There are markets however, and most cabins, and inns have a built in small kitchenette. This is great for saving money, and for packing food for picnics.

    A place called the Santa Fe...

  • A place called the Santa Fe Hotel has a great Basque restaurant. Everything is served family style.
    It has a very homey atmosphere. In the middle of the restaurant they set a long table for the residents of the hotel. At meal time they rang a dinner bell and everyone would file down and take their place at the table. There were bottles of red wine and loaves of bread on the table when everyone arrived. Then the food began to arrive. There was green salad, then beans, stew came next and potato salad with shrimp. As if this wasn't enough then came the main course usually broasted chicken or porkchops. Who had room for the desserts!

    I'm not sure if my favorite is the potato salad with baby shrimp or the lamb stew with fresh homemade bread.

A must eat for any person visiting with a sophisticated pallet. Also must try restaurants in Fresno include.... Five (Champlain and Perrin), The Limelite (NorthWest), ViniVidiVici (Tower District), And also of course RIVERPARK!!!!

    The sauteed chicken fettuccini in cherry wine is fabulous!!! We also had the bruchetta for an appetizer!!! THE BEST EVER!!! A must have neat the acclaimed Champlain and Perrin area!!!!!!

    Grandmarie's Chicken Pie Shop: A classic Diner in classic Fresno

  • You walk into Grandmarie's Chicken Pie Shop and you fell like you're walking back into the 60's. The counter chairs and booths are upholstered in dayglow green vinyl and the case of rotating deserts gives you the feel that you may have seen this place or something like it in a film from another time.

    Chicken Pie Shop offers classic diner favorites as well as classic Fresno favorites (that means tri tip is somewhere on the menu) :) The menu ranges from sandwiches, a full breakfast menu served all day(!), and what else but chicken pies!

    If you're hungry and want to experience a Fresno institution, then check out Grandmarie's Chicken Pie Shop!

    I love breakfast. I would suggest getting their tomato, and bacon omelet. Made with tomatoes, bacon, and cheese; and served with hashbrowns and your choice of toast- mmmm, it made my brunch!

  • Huckelberry's is a crazy blend of California meets Southern comfort food- and somehow it works! The interior of the restaurant gives you a Southern bayou feel even though you are in the middle of California.

    Open for breakfast and lunch, Huckelberry's offers an array of salads, hot sandwiches, omelets, pancakes, waffles, breakfast favorites, burgers, and southern favorites such as catfish standing alongside of entrees featuring chili and burritos.

    The service was friendly and efficient and the food was great! It definitely hit the spot and I would recommend going if you need some good food in your belly in a great family friendly environment.

    If you go, I would suggest getting breakfast (my favorite). I love the "Little Hotties" skillet called The Mississippi. Made with eggs, onions, peppers, mushrooms, potatoes, sausage, bacon, and covered in Jack cheese. Soooo good I ate the whole plate (no small feat).

  • It's weird that the Red Lobster here in Fresno is better than the rest of the cities I've been to.

    Ordered the same dish (steak & lobster), throughout California & the best ones are in Fresno. Company pays for it, so I didn't care much for the price.

    Girl!
    by Jannafresno
    Great people, great service and the absolute best BoBa Teas (or Pearl Teas as it also is known as). They have the lowest price in town. My complete day is to relax at Boba Cabana and enjoy a refreshing Tropicana Express Boba while surfing the net with my laptop. Did I mention they provide free internet? The Coolest!

    Love the Tropicana Express and Cha Cha drinks. The tapioca is perfect and fresh. Ocasionally, if I miss Starbucks, I'll just have a Caramel Frap WITH BOBA! Just like being at a Starbucks With Balls ;-) Hee Hee. I'll never get enough of this place. My recommendation to everyone!

    I just had The Best smoothie at C-Zone Internet Cafe. I had this Smoothie called Watermelon Rush. Their Drinks can be served with Boba. For those of you who don't know what Boba is, let me tell you. Boba is made from the casava root. They are formed in to these tapioca perals. They have the texture of a gummy bear. When you get these in your Mouth they make your taste buds sing and beg for more. Boba is a huge craze in the asian countries as well a the northwest US and southern Califorina. In recent years, a few shops in fresno have popped up. I have tried several of them. First I tried Boba fusion. Can you say crap. The Boba there is mush, the drinks are nothing to write home about either, Plus the interior looks like a morge. Next I tried Boba Cabana. The Boba was Mediocire at best and the drinks had a left alot to be desired. I had just about given up on finding good Boba Drinks in town when I stumbled accross C-Zone, It's on the corner of Blackstone and Mckinley across from city college. I don't know why more people have not heard of the place. The drinks are amazing, full of flavor, Perfect Boba. Awesome atmosphere, Free Wifi, Bagels muffins and More. I love it. I suggest everyone try it.

    I love everything there. It might be easier to let you know the drinks I dont like....... I let you know when I find one. I love C-Zone. Try it you'll love. Awesome place to kick back.
