Farnesi's Steakhouse & Bar

This place is ridiculous—in the best way possible! Honestly, we didn’t expect much because it’s in a tiny town with more cows than people, but wow… were we in for a surprise! From the mouthwatering Korean BBQ Rib appetizer to the decadent Ube Cheesecake, every bite was perfection. Hats off to Chef David—you, sir, are a true master of your craft. We’ve had steaks at big-name places like Hell’s Kitchen that couldn’t hold a candle to what we had here. If you’re anywhere nearby (or even just passing through), do yourself a favor and stop in for a meal. You won’t regret it.

Stopped in for breakfast burritos while traveling. Waitress was absolutely great!! They even customized the burritos the way we wanted with no issues.....they even wrapped them for easy eating on the road. We will definitely go again.

Fantastic spot in chowchilla! The top sirloin steak was cooked perfectly - a very nice medium rare. It was seasoned well for a thick and juicy steak. The reason why I had to rate the food a 4/5 is because everything was heavily salted; too much. The steamed veggies tasted like they were soaked in salt water. The brown gravy on top of my mashed potatoes was heavily salted - inedible, I just ate around the gravy. The Bourbon Pork Belly Bites were absolutely amazing. Perfectly balanced on the pallet. There's the smokiness of the bourbon, which wasn't overbearing. The texture was on point; soft-tender on the fat, and some of the meat had a bit of a bite to it. It was a good thing for the texture contrast.

I stop by this place every time on the drive between Nor Cal and So Cal. Right off the freeway, plenty of parking, good menu from breakfast to dinner, and the bar has table service with all the games on. Service is a little slow, don’t have much service staff. But reasonable prices, good selection, plenty of easy parking. Can’t go wrong.

We had an early dinner so there was no waiting. We were seated immediately and the service was excellent. My husband had the prime rib dinner with pilaf. Said the meat was seasoned well and very tender. The pilaf was buttery, the vegetables were fresh, not frozen and salad was cold and crisp. I had the meatloaf dinner and all was homemade and delicious. For dessert we shared the lemon berry cake. To die for it was so moist! We will definitely go back again. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Been blessed to Grub here many times! Did not always take pics Should have. Also, their Lounge is a Local Fav, Karaoke Thurs ... The Best Staff! Great Food!
