Blue Ox Bistro, Ice Cream Parlor, and Chocolates - (Near Susanville, CA)

Timothy Te I came here for lunch a few weeks ago after dropping my car off at the dealership for service. I was seated promptly at the bar area. I didn’t know what to order this time around as I usually order the pot roast sandwich as I always do. So I decided to try something different and I ordered the Cuban sandwich with umami fries. The sandwich and fries came out hot enough. The food was good and the hospitality was even better. I’ve gone to other restaurants on Blackstone the same way I dressed that day and some places didn’t even want bother with me as much after I was seated. But over here I felt just as important as any other customer and I appreciated that even more. All in all I had a great lunch and I wanted to leave a review to show my gratitude. I also wanted to say thank you for letting me hang out in the bar a bit longer as I waited for my car and was able to get some of my spreadsheets done for my restaurant. All in all, I definitely recommend this place for lunch and it sits on the top of my list for my favorite Lazy Dog locations around California. The Irvine location is my favorite but the Fresno location is just as good.

Mike M I thoroughly enjoyed my lunch at the Maccheroni Republic. I appreciate all of the trees and greenery within the concrete jungle of downtown LA. I ate the delicious salmon spaghetti with lemon and capers. The service was quick and I witnessed many tasty dishes being served to tables of locals and tourists. There are salad options and a bevy of pasta dishes, but not much protein on the menu. I look forward to returning to this very authentic restaurant.

Holly Paget We were at Grape Escape wine bar and their chef was ill so no food available. Did an online order with Cinders. Food came promptly- pizza and salad were delicious. We were grateful for great food.

Karen Vazquez Love the food and the staff is always friendly. Prices affordable. 100% recommend.

Lucy Hiller The pizza was amazing and a great price! We got the pesto, sundered tomato, and garlic pizza and then added chicken. They really added a good amount of chicken, so great value there:) The atmosphere was awesome as well, and the service was great. They hand toss the dough which was fun to watch, and I’d absolutely recommend coming here!!

agatha babakhanian I had such an amazing experience at this restaurant! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with the perfect balance of elegance and comfort. The food was absolutely delicious—each dish was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The music and live DJ added a fantastic vibe, making the evening even more enjoyable without being too overwhelming. The staff were attentive, friendly, and professional, always making sure we had everything we needed. Overall, it was a wonderful night out, and I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food, great service, and a lively yet classy atmosphere.
