Recommended 12 Dinner Spots Near Fresno, California

Shelley McIntosh Love this restaurant! The menu has changed, and there aren’t as many appetizer options as before. We came for a Friday night dinner and were seated in the middle of the dining area with no one around us—until two large tables of kids arrived. Not exactly the relaxing evening we were hoping for, but the food was delicious as always!

Sam Gipson Always so consistent. Been here a lot and Never had any bad food or drinks. Great service every time! Killer food. Amazing atmosphere. Best spot in town, no question! I will be coming back for as long as they are around. Bravo!

Maria So so so good. Everything we had was phenomenal, they do have some things that rotate on the menu so if there’s something you want to try, I recommend going for it. Had no reservations, walked in around 5pm on a Saturday, were very lucky to get seated at the bar (3 of us). Service was outstanding, one of the dishes was delayed and they gave us complimentary meatballs. I had the lamb Ragu - amazing. Others had the seafood pasta that was also very good, and the bucatini.

Shelley McIntosh We popped in for appetizers and a drink. We also love coming to dinner here. Food is amazing.

Herzog Tri-tip sandwich perfection. Generous amount of tri-tip, tender enough to bite through barbecue sauce is awesome. Their fries are generous also. Their service is great. Loud environment, but fun for events, because they have 1 million TVs.

mark plasencia The prime rib was nice and soft. Also the shrimp was very tasty. Ribs were also very good. Meat just slid right off the bones.. Was a bit crowded and the parking lot was I think to small for the amount of people that were there. All in all, it was well worth it......

Ayla Acuña We found this place randomly while driving through town and it was the best decision we made. The staff were friendly, attentive, and well trained. The clam chowder sampler was a great option for first time diners. I highly reccommend getting the cilantro rice. Definitely coming back!

Kara N Ahi nachos are a must! Huge portion on happy hour. So many taps! I came solo on a Friday night and it was super busy but I still was able to sit at the bar and get prompt service. Ordered the mushroom pizza to go which is also good but I will try pepperoni next time.

Tina G Amazing service from start to finish! Our waiter Gilbert was attentive, friendly, and made the entire experience feel special. Truly top-notch service—can’t wait to come back!

ana louisa Alex S. was great overall with his service! He was really attentive and helpful, making sure we had everything we needed. The food was also very good, and his friendliness made the experience even better. Definitely a positive dining experience!

HK Beef rib is huge, but soft. tastes great! Staffs are friendly. Vibe is pretty cool. You will have to use physical card instead of Apple Pay

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.
