Stockade Grub & Whiskey — Restaurant in California

This is a cool place to eat when traveling through the mountain roads. I will definitely give this place another try. WATCH MY VIDEOS AND PICTURES TO SEE WHAT WE ORDERED.

*Located off the main road

*Indoor and outdoor seating

*Inside also has a bar

*Back, outside area had a stage

*Food was good and drinks were cold

*They got one order slightly wrong

*Appetizer came late, though we had to ask twice

*Not much parking in front, but parking near by if the lots aren't full

So, I've been wanting to go to this place since the very first time I saw it. Finally, I went. We decided to sit in the outdoor area in the back of the establishment. I figured, since we're in the mountains that it only made sense to eat outside to enjoy the weather. It was a sunny day, but there was shade.

So, my visit was good. I don't know if they were understaffed that day or if things are always a tad bit slow. It wasn't crowded, however. My wife had requested they made her fries chili fries. When she got her plate, they gave regular fries.

Anyway, the staff was nice and friendly, when they were around. The food was hot and the drinks were cold. While eating, the staff didn't come check on us.

They do have a stage in the back where performers use. Performers also use part of the inside. They have events. If you're a biker, this is a cool spot to hit up with the homies and homegirls.

I...

I came in on a Sunday primarily to see a friend's band, and I honestly wasn't sure what to expect—but I ended up loving the whole experience. This is a genuinely large establishment with a great flow: you move from the front bar/pool area, past the main dining room, and out onto an impressively big patio perfect for live events.

​I did encounter the Sunday parking challenge (I snagged a spot over by the post office side), but the minor logistics were immediately overshadowed by the quality of the food and service. Waiting until 4:30 PM for the ribs was absolutely worth it; they were the definition of fall-off-the-bone tender and incredibly juicy. Paired with a seriously good loaded potato, the entire meal was amazing.

​A huge shout-out to Fibbie, who was my server. She was amazing, friendly, and incredibly attentive. As someone who wasn't a local, I truly appreciated how welcome she made me feel. The atmosphere here is awesome, and I would visit again in a heartbeat, specifically...

I've not one to write a bad review... In fact I think this is my first. I've been to over a hundred bars from Hollywood to Vegas over 2 decades. I'm super chill & have patience but this bar totally sucked!!!

I came in on a Fri to check it out & I live nearby. Less than 10 people were inside. I got a beer right away & the bartender ignored the entire time after. I stood at the counter several times wanting to order another beer. She just blew me off. She was taking shots & chatting away with 3 dudes. This bar has this 'we're trying really hard to be cool' vibe/ atmosphere but it SUCKED. We have rad Rock N' Roll bars in the O.C. & Hollywood.. but this one had so much lacking it wasn't even funny. Really poor service. Bad vibe. (And I was tipping very well.) I'll never waste my money in there again.

You're much better off going to the Bear Claw in town or 3 Marm Brewery in Crestline. You'll have a TON more fun at those joints...
