Good so good. The Wagon Wheel meal is the best. Don't forget the beans are the perfect side

What a cool place. We finally made it over there. Great Tri-Tip sandwiches. They also have awesome homemade bbq sauces and maybe the best onion rings of all time. Only drawback I saw was they don't make their own ranch dressing for the rings. I also had the pasta salad and that was delicious. It had a sweetness to it like I hadn't tasted before. Really a great spot. The service is good. It's not the type of place where they serve your table. It's a walk up window to order and another to pick up. Lots of picnic tables with umbrellas. They have a stage area and have music on the weekends so will definitely be back to check that out.

I loved what I got. One overly salty , but when I return , I might ask about the saltiness great flavor and great sauces. Can't say enough...

Quite literally a hidden gem! Located in the middle of nowhere in Ballico, CA, off of Santa Fe Road. I am fan of the outdoor concept but central valley problems, it is HOT in the summer. There is an covered patio with fans but you'll be sweating your butt off during the warmer months. You order at the register and they will call you over when your order is ready. If you like tri tip, this is a must try. From the texan sando to the harvest salad with tri tip, everything on this menu is *chefs kiss* The sauces take the flavor over the top. I also really enjoy all their sides. Mac & cheese, mac salad, garlic and sweet potato fries...I'm hungry just thinking about it. Honestly, you can't beat the prices here! $2.75 for regular beer and $4 for premium, those aren't even happy hour prices!

Worth the drive out to Balico. Wonderful first date type of place during the spring or late fall, being it is outdoor eating. No matter what you order, you'll love it.

The food here was good and a decent price. The Texan seemed like the most interesting sandwich on the menu and I enjoyed it. To tip, barbecue sauce, avocado, and onions made for a good combination. It wasn't huge but wasn't small either. I liked that you got to pick a side so I tried the macaroni and cheese. It wasn't amazing but wasn't bad either.Staff were friendly and there was lots of seating on a covered patio. This place was kind of in the middle of nowhere but if for some reason you happen to be in the area I suspect you'll enjoy your lunch!

We went on a Saturday around 2pm there was no one but one family who had already ordered ate and was on their way out. So not having to wait was awesome. The customer service was just ok. The person taking the order didn't greet us he just looked at us and asked if we were ready and had an expressionless face to him the entire time we ordered. I pressed to get a receipt on the machine when I paid and no thank you was said by the male employee and he started walking away so I asked the other employee close to the Window if I can have the receipt I pressed yes for and they just handed it to me and walked back to the kitchen area. No thank you from her either no smile no nothing. We ordered the Texan and a smash burger. One of the sides was the Mac n cheese and the other meal's side was garlic fries. The meals did come with a small drink and a side of fruit (Ours had grapes that day). The Texan was a bit dry on the meat but other than that, all the food was good.

Love the atmosphere. Outdoors. Been there a few times, I guess we don't go during "music" time. You would never thought of a food place where it's at. Love the hole in wall joints
