Restaurants in Porterville

“Food was incredible. We had New York 12 oz steak. I had mashed potatoes, but when I asked for gravy, all they had was the white country gravy they use for country fried Steak. IT WAS ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS.
Along with the Flatliners Martinis everything was perfect. Thank you Palace for a wonderful meal.
If you go here, you have to try the Brown Sugar Old Fashioned Bourbon Cocktail. It's absolutely delicious. I have rediscovered great American Bourbon once again. Went home and bought a bottle of Four Roses Single Barrel Aged Bourbon. Wonderful 😊. They use Evan Williams American Bourbon here. It's very tasty 🤤. Here again on 3/16/25, just finished Steak and eggs, fries and plenty of Flatliners and Brown Sugar Old Fashioned.
The bartender here knows his stuff about fine Bourbon. (SEAN, Shaun in English)He also knew that sugar doesn't dissolve in alcohol. If you ever find a bar that uses sugar cubes or raw granulated sugar in drinks, they don't know what they are doing. 😊😁 Good job Palace Craft cocktails. Everything was excellent 👍. GREAT job Sean. A fine Bourbon expert, and an all around great bartender. This guy knows his drinks. 👍✊.”

“When me and my family go to have lunch or dinner we always have a great time Me And Eds pizzas is number one for us 😋🍕😊”

“Wow! We had food cooked directly in front of us. It was incredibly fun for the family. The service was perfect and the price was good! Extremely clean as well.

Thanks!”

“Food was delicious , big party and did not have to wait long. Waitress was attentive and pleasant. Food was amazing drinks were tasty!”

“Sauce was excellent, Shrimp was a good size. Good and messy, finger licking good”

“They lack in cleaning the tables but staff are very nice and the food is good.”

“Donuts and drinks are really good highly recommend them”

“I only get takeout so can't comment on atmosphere. Service seems to depend on who's working and how busy they are.
I get calzone. The bread flavor is very good. Get it with ricotta, artichoke hearts, fresh tomatoes, and spinach. YUM!
For me if the crust isn't good, the whole place is no good, and I'm happy to say they make a good crust.
Wait time can be long on Friday evening.”

“Ashley A. was such and amazing server very attentive and friendly asked her for a drink to surprise me and didn't disappoint so good she was amazing best service ever ❤️”

“The food and staff make it worth going, but the inside needs some sprucing up. And the soda machine is out today. It's clean, no complaints there. The inside could use a little refresher of paint not only the walls but the booths, too. Smells a little like dirty water, too. But, I still come because the BBQ chicken sandwich is to die for, and they always hire very nice and helpful staff (at least these two guys here at 2:00pm) who also keep the place clean.”

“This place is amazing! Great food love the variety of drinks ! Pink starburst lemonade and the nutter butter coffee are absolutely amazing! Service is excellent and so it the space very inviting always clean ! Please try them out if you can !”

“Quaint little shop serving delicious coffee drinks! The ladies were so friendly and we can’t wait to visit again.”

“Best seafood place!! The food is super delicious and fresh. The staff is just wonderful and so attentive and fun. Definitely one of my favorite places now!”

“Love, love the chili dogs until they started putting black pepper in it! Please go back to NO black pepper. We miss you!!”

“I typically stop here daily for my much needed caffeine fix, which I can always depend on Dutch Bros. to solve my problem. I don't drink very much coffee, but the Rebel mixed flavored drinks are on point. If I'm not in a rush, I always try a different concoction, and if I'm really hurting, I'm adding caffeine shot. I really appreciate Dutch Bros.

Parking: Located curbside to Prospect, which leaves the entire lot it sits in for parking if you plan on walking up for an order. Most people do the drive thru.

Kid-friendliness: Dutch Bros. offers a kids menu like options, where the drink aren't caffeinated, so your kids can have a smoothie, tea or juice which taste just as good as the "adult" drinks.

Wheelchair accessibility: For pedestrians, and those wheelchair bound, there are ease of access ramps leading to the order window from the parking lot, and from the sidewalk along Prospect St.”

“My first time meeting with a powerful spell caster online and I have to say, it's really worth it. It had been 6 months since my husband left me without saying anything.All thanks to doctor miracle, T”

“Exquisite food. Great service and fair prices. I ordered more to go for dinner. The food truck is right next to a smoke shop and there are a few picnic tables onsite. Just be mindful to bring cash or get some cash back from the smoke shop.”

“Enjoyed our dinner at this place. Had gorditas, and they were very good. Atmosphere is nice and service was friendly. Only suggestion is that the server come check on the table occassionally.”

“Their Miso Soup and Tempura Veggies are oyishi. English... delicious.”

“First time trying & Its delicious. Got the Hawaiian Crispy Shrimp & Chicken w/ Gyozas...?? Most definitely returning to try the Grilled Salmon! Not to mention the staff are super friendly.... Ty JJ's!”

“The BEST salsa and chips in Tulare County at the Teapot Dome location! We love eating in and also take out. Every week I stop by for a large container of salsa to use at home. Beautiful friendly people who make your dining experience magical.”

“Im writing this hoping the other group that sat in the back dining room last night sees this. I do not understand how you could act like that towards your server despite the fact all of you are grown adults. We heard you saying how if she didn’t give you any discounts you were going to find something to complain about and weren’t going to tip her, right after she walked away. She gave you, as well as, us great service. We even heard her trying to fix an issue with one of the dishes. How are you going to complain about the food and still take the rest home with you? And still expect a discount? You were all too old to be acting like that. Cristina if you happen to see this, you did great. I just wanted you to know that there was nothing more that you could have done to make those people happy. They seemed set to complain to get discounts since the moment they got there.”

“love going to the human bean, super fast and friendly service”

“Hadn't been out there in 30 years. Well lit and lively now, Nice Big bay window in the front makes it inviting. Huge patio ,covered outside in back for outside dining experience. Solo Artist playing guitar, with some good retro country. 3 TV's to watch Motor Sports ,Rodeo, and Whatever your viewing pleasures. Reasonable prices. Good drinks, friendly Staff.”

I never miss an opportunity to go to visit this restaurant. everytime I I need a fair meal, this restaurant comes immediately to my mind. outstanding and food and a large menu.well mannered staff members, and good spirit. In addition to that, the tariff is honest. I suggest this place with pleasure.”

“Takeout only. You take a tray and tongs, put your choices on the tray, they add it up and bag it, and it's very fairly priced.

Service is fine. I asked what a couple things were, for future reference. They speak English and Spanish.

So far, I've only tried sweet items. Next will be the bread.”

“Our lunch meeting today was fabulous! Great service & great food. Thank you!”

(considering the high inflation these past three years!) It's also always very clean and tidy. A great small business worth supporting!!”

“amazing chicken. the seasoning is fantastic!!!”

“Easily one of very few great places to stop for breakfast, and lunch. I can only really speak for the breakfast, but I can safely assume the lunch they offer would be just as good as their breakfast. The portions are great, which can only be matched by how well everything is prepared. Plenty of options for breakfast and lunch, even a bar if you need pick me up for breakfast, I know I've indulged now and again. Especially after working first watch. The service is outstanding, friendly and fast without being pushy. The atmosphere is simple, and welcoming. I know my kids and I enjoy watching airplanes and helicopters come and go, makes it exciting for them. We all enjoy the Airway Cafe.”

“If you're looking to try something off the regular beaten path, this is the place. The food and drinks are full of the right balance of flavor and homestyle comfort. The Vietnamese salad and Pho are some of my personal recommendations, along with a Thai coffee.”

“Not a fan of their food it's not bad but it's different then what I like most people don't realize Chinese is a whole culture of different people which means different food. But I love their eggs rolls I get a bunch every time I'm here”

“My White Chocolate Mocha was delicious😋”

“They make very good sandwiches and salads.I would have rated it 5 stars but they were out of some key items ? I guess that's a testament to just how good they are though!”

“taco Tuesday they treat you like family there very cleane”

“The food is how you would get it at home. The tortillas on the tacos are a little too raw for me, but my Dad loves them that way. They don't dip them in oil how most places do, so if you're going for a less calorie taco, this is the place. The meat is fresh and they put plenty in your tacos. The tortas are delicious also. They always have a variety of aguas frescas and also bottled or canned drinks. The tables have been widened so they aren't super skinny like before. You can sit and enjoy the food. It's clean and chill there.”

“I especially go to buy yellow corn tortillas which are freshly made & kept in huge ice chest to keep them warm. You can pull a tortilla out of the package & eat it even without having to warm it. UmmmThey also make Hot food to go or tables are available to sit & eat inside. They also have fresh raw meat by the pound to buy & Pan dulce too.”

“Most of the posts on here are from years ago. the bar is under new ownership and has changed for the better. The place looks fantastic and it's always hopping. it's definitely worth checking out. it's 5 stars all the way!”

“taco Tuesday they treat you like family there very cleane”

Thank you Red Onion Hamburger. We had a spicy chicken combo and a grilled chicken. We also loved the Peanut butter shakes!”

“fast & friendly service.... food is excellent authentic dishes”

“Really enjoy this Blaze Pizza location, the service was quick and the employees where super nice. We wish it had better seating options tho. But overall we love the quality of the food and service! We usually get our pizza loaded with veggies and it's delicious”

“food was delicious ..new spot to eat”

“This bakery is by far the best here in Porterville it’s small,owed and operated by a Spanish speaking couple. Most of the bread is actually baked fresh daily. I go in the morning to get it right out of the oven while it’s still warm. They make “Flan” from scratch out of eggs how it’s supposed to be made. Prices are competitive but worth it and they have other products and homemade food. But over all excellent family owned small business that I chose to go to over the other bakeries on the east side.”

“They have the best Tai food I have ever had. I have tried other places in the area once but no one else can compare to theirs. I go there every time I go to Porterville. I wish there was one in Tulare.”

“The restaurant was super clean, food was great, and Kelly is a sweetheart. What more can you ask for? I had the chicken fried steak and eggs. Food was fresh. I recommend this place for sure.”

“My hubby went today 4/2 around 11:45-12:00 and brought me home a carne asada burrito bowl😋😋 OMG this is the absolute BEST food I’ve had in a very long time. They definitely don’t skimp on food, flavor or size. This bowl seriously is enough to feed 3-4 people. He got himself the carne asada burrito and if you know what the ones look like at ElTap, (huge) and this one is larger than that one.
I will definitely be eating there at least a few times a month from now on😋😋”
