Humboldt Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Fortuna

Trying to find a good restaurant these days can be challenging but we certainly lucked out while staying in Garberville. We ordered takeout & were extremely pleased with everything!

We also ordered the super nachos with carna Asada and they did not disappoint!

Prices are outrageously high, but thought perhaps it would be just that good so decided to stay and order. First, it took almost 10 minutes for the wait staff to come take our order, and she started with our dinner order, didn't even take our drink order first. We then waited 45 minutes for our food, never once having any engagement with the wait staff. People who were seated well after us got their food before we did. Finally, our entrées arrived. My husbands overpriced steak sandwich was unappetizing and cold, and my $11 bruschetta looked pathetic. Neither of us even took one bite of our meals. We complained to the manager about our entire experience, then left....
