The Standard Pour - (Near Sonora, CA)

Marcus Hinojoz The brisket was incredibly flavorful. It was juicy and tender as hell. The ribs were fall off the bone and had great flavor even on their own. When paired with their BBQ sauce, which has a unique peppery, smoky, vinegar-forward taste, it cut through the richness of the brisket perfectly and added another layer of flavor. The mac and cheese was really good. You can tell butter is used, and the cheeses were flavorful and well balanced. The chipotle beans were decent overall, but I felt neutral about them. Shoutout to Mike for being awesome. I didn’t check the closing time and he was already cleaning up, but he called me while I was right around the corner and still took care of me. I will absolutely be back to try more of their menu.

B Fast Casual Smashburgers ~ Classic Double with Tots came out to $16.04. Bit pricey but worth it for the quality ~ will be back if in the area

Bizz2 Whi Red Hawk hits all the marks! Standard machines lower limit is much more reasonable than anything else around, and while its not really a HUGE casino, there are still 2 floors, smoking/non-smoking, KENO+VP sections, tables, a lively enviornment at times and a lax one at others. Ill even come here to do laptop work sometimes, when its not a Friday night or something. My only knocks on them are that, at times the luck seems manufactured and weirdly high or low for most people on the floor....thats frustrating and they Are tribal, so who knows there...and the other is the lack of outlets or charging options ANYWHERE, except the hallway to the hotel. SO YOU MUST BRING A POWER BANK Hotel itself is....not bad, very clean but minimal in my mind given the standard many casinos set with rooms. Its still nice though.great pool + spa, great food options, especially the buffet. Other mentions are phenomenal free transportation to and from other normal casinos and the bay area, and absolutely awesome customer-facing staff...seriously, great experiences all around with that portion. Also to be noted is this is only accessible by car or their shuttle service as it is directly on a freeway offramp dedicated to it. Final thought- redhawk is the casino in the area that, on the first visit - may not be your favorite because its not quite as flashy as some others, but youll have a great time still. And then after you have seen the other options, and come back, youll stick with it because literally every other facet is superior to anything else around. Apex too....forgot about apex....cool little area with the sickest go-kart track in the world, and great bowling, but an underwhelming arcade. Not much else to say there. Do the go karts at least once. Its expensive but worth it to be on that track

Ashhal Sheikh This place is sooo cute! my family has lived here for 40 years and after many times driving by, today my mom and i tried it for the first time. the atmosphere is 10/10, so on theme and you can tell they put effort into decorating and detailing! the service was delightful, very polite staff and our food came quickly. it was quite lively, and the food was absolutely delicious! they have a wide variety of different foods and also many dessert options. i recommend the coconut shrimp and baked potato side. next time we hope to try more! please give shrimp house a try, it’s a hidden gem!

Baruch Pletner Absolutely adored everything about this place. The food, the ambiance, the service. Nothing pretentious, but flying in from Toronto I felt right at home and had a great meal with a great draft lager and the best mezcal Ive ever tasted. Check it out. Oh, and Peter at the bar was just fantastic.

Kathy Pierandozzi Very nice architecture and atmosphere. Comfortable booths very good food wonderful staff highly recommend. The chips and salsa were amazing..
