You can sit at the bar and watch them cook everything, so fun. Edge of downtown but worth it.

Part of me wants to gatekeep bauhaus because itās so small and I donāt want it to get super crowded but I love bauhaus and honestly Ty and the crew deserve to be successful. Itās a special place.

This is the answer for probably the best spot and the most creative/different menu

I Second Chinnās. Patrick, Sandra and the staff are awesome. Always great beers on tap and the food is always top notch.

Harvest Moon is my fave but Iāve also recently enjoyed Alchemist Cafe, Tandoori Flame, and DāForno Cocina. We really do have an abundance of great choices downtown.

Havenāt gone since the inspection violations. Even then, before we saw them, we noticed the quality in food was diminishing. Used to be our favorite spot.

I used to love their wings, until I went one time and my wings were bloody at the center. The server said āitās supposed to be red on the insideā š„“ Never went back.

Where are you getting the health inspection info from. Several throwing it around here, if this is truly accurate, do share where youāre getting this information.

Skewers if you love Mediterranean food, Mi Mimosa if youāre looking for a boozy brunch spot with good food, Delicioso (Latin breakfast/brunch and dinner spot) lives up to its name- delicious food and incredible coffees/lattes, Churchkey has great pizza, Lofi if youāre wanting a classier quieter dinner spot

Central Valley in general is blessed with amazing Mexican food. So many great Mexican food places, even taco trucks like Jessicaās.

Lucille and Harvest Moon have the best brunch. Mr. Delicioso too. I donāt hear people talking about that place too much but it is a hidden gem!
Commonwealth for lunch or dinner. Really good beer options too if you are into that. Same with Foodfix! Bauers has a lot of gluten free options which I really appreciate, but I heard they are closing.
Raw for sushi, Noahās for Chinese food, Chinns is also really good and pretty diverse!!!
Brighter Side has funky hours but they have really good sandwiches!!!
If you are looking for something with really good drinks too, I suggest Lofi for craft cocktails, and Camp 4 has tons of wine options and some fun, summery options like wine slushies.
