Bravo Farms Restaurant, Tulare CA

I really really wanted to like Bravo Farms. I truly did. It came highly recommended and just ultimately fell flat. A friend mentioned that it can get quite busy. Imagine my joy when I saw that you could call for reservations! I called and got a reservation for 2. Great! The person on the phone took down my name and number. Imagine my surprise when I showed up and was told it was seat yourself and essentially glorified counter service. This would have been totally fine — if I hadn’t been allowed to make a reservation. The girl at the counter looked at me like I had two heads when I mentioned “reservation” to her. She even said “I don’t think we do that. ”

Whatever. We ordered a charcuterie board and found a spot to sit at the bar, where we were then ignored. It took more than 20 minutes to order a glass of wine. I ordered, but my husband wasn’t able to. Bartender was slow and kept leaving before I could finish my order to help someone else. They don’t keep a wine list so I really did need her attention for just a few moments but no. It was bad. Oh, and I ordered the wine, but she made zero motions to go get it. She was instead talking about the Barbie movie with some folks who already had their drinks.

The day was saved by a different staff person. Dark hair, super helpful. Got us another food order in, finally got our glasses of wine and checked in on us several times! She really saved the day in terms of experience.

How about the food? Admittedly my own fault for not reading carefully, but what kind of charcuterie board has only cheddar? Certainly shouldn’t be a $25 one. Just disappointing all around. The pork loaded fries were phenomenal however.

At the end of our visit…I don’t really get it. The reviews of this place are great. Did we get there on a bad night? Did something go wrong? I have a lot of questions about our pretty subpar experience.

Food was great, I love making my own salad. It was pretty loud, hard to have a conversation.

Have been here 3 different times, each time trying something new and I've never been disappointed.

The customer service was great but the food wasn't. I ordered a grilled chicken with wheat bread. The chicken was a tiny and it was boiled, and tasted old and cold. The Bread was old and was old, would not go back. My mom ordered tri tip and it was cold

The food is great very large portions best thing is to plan on taking some home or sharing with someone

Their ribeye & tri-tip sandwich is my favorite. Would definitely recommend especially the tri-tip sandwich. Love the atmosphere and they have a cute little gift shop. The location is perfect being near the outlets.

Great Tri-tip nachos, great selection of wine and drinks, very roomy and they also have a gift shop.

Seriously bravo farms is innovative fairly priced, and serves modern beautiful looking tasty plates. This is one of the only places I would order a salad. The serving size is large.

Soda machine was flat and told the staff 5 times to see if they would check the carbonation. Everyone said they would and it was left untouched. Asked for my money back on the drinks. No one can agree on what the actual size is on an order of fries, nor the serving temperature. Sometimes you get a full bowl and they’re hot, other times it’s half a bowl and cold.

Love going here for either lunch or dinner. Always great service. Everyone is kind & helpful. The menu has a wide range of foods. Always been pleased. I love browsing the gift section.

This place is amazing. Not only is the food and atmosphere fantastic, the customer service is top notch. I have a mild mushroom allergy and noted this when ordering a salad without the mushrooms its supposed to come with. A few moments later, Alex from the kitchen came out and pulled me aside to ask me about my allergy to make sure that they weren't going to put me in a bad place with anything. He was professional and still friendly, and made me feel like I was the only person they were cooking for. I travel to Tulare a lot and this is not top of my list of places to eat when I'm here.

Not sure why this place has good reviews. The outside pleases the eyes but boy! That food sucks! The clam chowder was sour, taste like someone squeezes half a lime in it. The clam is chewy. I’m sure it’s bad. Hopefully I don’t get stomach issue after this. Chicken in my pesto sandwich is drier than beef jerky. Not recommend this place!

You’ll have to wait a couple minutes, since it’s a popular spot, but it’s worth it. Plenty of seating outside, and delicious food. I recommend any of the quesadillas or salads. Good for dessert too.

I wasn't going to say anything but since you asked- I have been to Bravo Farms in Kettleman and love it each time. I won't ever go back to this one, in Tulare. A noisy mess. Worst Chinese chicken salad ever. The chicken was tough, the more I chewed the larger the bite got. I specifically told them NO Peanuts. I had enough peanuts to feed a baby elephant. It's all serve yourself. The ice part of the drink machine plugged up and continually overflowed. A bad accident waiting to happen.
I was meeting friends a hadn't seen for years, that was wonderful. It was difficult to hear. Clearly, we chose the wrong place to meet up. On top it was very difficult to find parking. Half of the lot was blocked off. The rest of the lot were signs saying after 1 hour you would be given a parking ticket. I will say, the manager offered me a voucher to come back for another meal. Seriously- I told her " no thanks ". If it could have been used at the other Bravo Farms in Kettleman City, I may have taken it. $17.50 + for a chicken salad and a drink was steep, especially since you had go to the counter to order, had to back and pick up the order, then go back to get you self a soda. One thing, we could refill the sodas. So, as for service-there wasn't any. It was Saturday at 11: 30. So don't go on a weekend at lunchtime to have lunch.

Really great food. Atmosphere was super chill. Very enjoyable. Women's bathroom was a bit dirty.

Menchilada 10/10
Mojito 10/10
service great prices very reasonable and great not a arm an a leg highly recommend spot from here to New York and it was worth every penny

Moose concept. The meals are good and fresh. The pizzas take a long time to come though. We had all the other dishes long before the pizza.

Had the barbecue chicken sandwich-spare yourself, don’t
Chicken was dry, tough, flavorless. The sauce was only in one side, had weird taste. Couldn’t even taste the mushrooms in the sandwich, and it’s a small portion. Honestly the chicken sandwich at Panera is better. A salad might be a better choice here

Quaint spot for a great salad or sandwich. Good place to come with girlfriends or a lunch date.
