Texas Roadhouse -Food CA (Near Visalia)

Alex Zepka We seated at the bar as the host told us there was nothing left that night. So, yes, it was busy, even on a Tuesday night. We mostly came over because of their cocktails menu and it didnt disappoint. They have a short list of "permanent" and a longer lost of seasonal drinks. We also had dinner. They claim to cook their steaks at 1400 degrees. I tried the NY steak and, yes, it was cooked to perfection, but I was not blown away with the meat quality. I wish they has a hanger steak instead. The brussel sprouts were some of th best we ever had. A little on th sweet side, but still great and the portion was huge. The service was hot and cold. The main bartender was super friendly but the second bartender was a bit clueless and too busy to help us. We were basically left alone for most of the time. Food took a long time to arrive and they got me th wrong sauce for th steak (they corrected it afterwards). Overall, this was a nice place for dinner and drinks, but there are definitely blind spots, particularly in the service.

Robert Kauss We were greeted by Theresa with a warm and hospitable smile. After we took our seats she quickly brought us fresh warm corn tortilla chips and a variety of salsa. We ordered and I had the combo plate with a Chicken Taco and quesadilla. The plate came out hot which was nice because it was a cold and rainy night. The beans and rice were excellent and my meal was satisfying. I ate everything on my plate and was full. The atmosphere was pleasant and clean, I would recommend this place to someone who wants good Mexican food with fast service. Thank you Teresa for letting us feel welcome and giving us terrific service.

Ivan Martinez First time dining at the Ming Dynasty. The restaurant is filled with bright red lanterns and ancient scenery. The service is great. I just needed more time to look over their menu. Their roasted duck plate caught my eye and I decided to give it a whirl. It took twenty minutes to prepare the meal. The dining room slowly filled with a strong aroma and people began to tremble. I was getting nervous. I didnt know what to expect. The final dish arrived at my table and it was perfectly crafted. Bright red duck pieces were surrounded by green broccoli. A Native American would have been proud. A small side of rice was also included in the meal. The duck itself does have a unique taste. It must be high in myoglobin. The thick, brownish meat was not easy to devour. Wildly different. No, it does not taste like chicken. The thick skin was worthy of saving in a doggie bag though. I wish they gave out fortune cookies.

Angela Ackerman We were staying at a nearby hotel and were looking for a breakfast place. Google maps took us the strip mall this restaurant was at but not directly to the location. Its in the middle of the mall on the second floor. There was no wait for our party of ten. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. The portions were large and the food was great. Our party had biscuits and gravy, chicken fried steak, chicken and waffles, breakfast skillets and fish and chips. Not one complaint. The waffles were perfectly cooked. The only downside for our party was there was so much to choose from that we may have to go a second time!

Yang 10/10 experience here at NEP Cafe! We got the Crème brûlée Vietnamese coffee (elite) and the egg coffee (also delicious)! James, our waiter, was incredibly kind and helpful in navigating the menu and we ended up getting 3 incredible apps. The seafood ceviche, shrimp salad, and crab toast. All 3 were phenomenal but the shrimp salad was truly special. I wouldn’t have gone for it if it weren’t for James’ suggestion, 10/10 would recommend! It’s so refreshing, light, and flavorful and pairs really well with the butteriness of the crab toast. We were celebrating my partners birthday as well and James took care of us well. Thank you NEP & James for a wonderful birthday experience!

Cero Grubs One of the best burritos I’ve ever had ! The tri trip had so much flavor ! We got the surf N turf fries which we all shared. Amazing. Their house sauce is amazing and I even got an extra side of it ! I took a bite of the double cheese burger my wife got and it even had an egg on it! We shared the wings and I got the dirty search sauce on my side. Highly recommended the wings with the dirty search flavor. The restaurant had a full bar and tons of seating. I’m definitely coming back here to try some more items on the menu. The waitress was great in helping us picking out menu.
