This restaurant has been in Visalia for many years, but only recently has it moved to the site it now has. This previously renovated home is a joy to see. Not that it is a magnificent Victorian, it isn't, but it is a nice home that has been skillfully remade into a wonderful restaurant. One great ro…

This little café sits on the edge of the oldest part of Visalia. It sits on a corner (duh) surrounded by the Capri Motel & Trailer Park, who I believe own both. Both properties were constructed in the early 1900s, and although they have seen some minor renovations they still retain almost all of t…

One of Visalia's long time fine-dining establishments is going through a major change. Many many years ago this was the Railroad Depot here in Visalia, and when it was no longer needed someone bought the old building, a few rail cars and converted it to a restaurant. For years this very up-scale res…

This very recently opened Tequila Bar and Mexican Restaurant has tried to draw as many people as possible. They offer 160 different tequilas and offer shots as high as $80. Naturally, they also serve lots of different beers. The menu runs from a Carne Asada Plate at $6.95, up to Spicy Shrimp & Ch…

Started back in 1958, when it truly was a steakhouse and they cost only $1.19 this restaurant has changed a million percent since then. Oh, they still offer some steaks on their menu, along with about four dozen other things and a salad bar with a large choice of fixings and pretty much something fo…

Visalia Tea Garden restaurant has been open in the same location since 1961. It is a small family owned business with only a few employees and this is their only location. It is a very good location on Main Street with plenty of other businesses and restaurants. We had not been in for many years …

Only opened in 1997. This family owned business is as trendy as they get. The Mustard colored walls, the new deco art, the use of sheet metal in their designs are strictly from the most artsy places in San Francisco or Chicago. The food and service are how they hope to make the difference in an area…

Applebee's is like a modern day up-scale Denny's. Is that good? To some people it certainly is, but for others the changes have gone only into the prices and silly menu items. For example, their six dollar burger is eight dollars in our area. And talk about overkill, they even offer a Big Apple Bu…

Started back in 1975, this casual dining eatery has recently opened its 1,000th location. In fact it may have been here. It is brand new to Visalia. Now in twenty countries around the globe you can pretty much find it in your area. The menu stays near the southwestern style, with Fajitas, Quesadil…

Two totally different cooks makes this an unusual place. For lunch the cook does some excellent Chinese chicken salad. But if you in for dinner, you cannot order that. They don't make it. The menu changes and it's like a totally different place. We have tried it for lunch and enjoyed it so much wit…

This is a brand new establishment in Visalia. The owner is a long time restauranteur and decided to build a New Orleans style three story enterprise as close to downtown as possible. He foundd a narrow corner lot and went from there. The bottom floor is casual dining and bar with paper napkins, the …

A few years back someone got the idea to make an old fashioned chrome diner, like the ones of yesteryear, here in Visalia. They built a nice place with lots of old-time collectables and pleasing items from days gone by. They even put an old, and I do mean old, gas pump out front. But the food alt…
