Pierpoint Bar & Grill and hotel lodging — Restaurant in Porterville

I grew up around the Pierpont Camp Nelson area. Pierpoint Springs has always been an AWESOME place that go. Whether it be to eat, have a cocktail, or just be outside enjoying the crisp fresh air and the smell of the beautiful Sugar Pines, or Playing a game of horseshoes out back, The One Thing you can always be sure of is The beautiful view and the friendly hospitality. Chris and Stacy are the New owners and are very nice and hospitable.

This sandwich is very thick and filling even for a hearty appetite like mine. The sauce kept that delicate balance between sweet/tangy/robustness together perfectly with the brioche bun. Amazing sandwich, amazing fish and chips. I will definitely be...

Waited at the bar for an hour for food service. Finally a guy showed up and I asked for a menu. He rudely informed me that he is a bartender and doesn't do food service. I'm 74, eat at restaurant bars around the world and of course all over the States and never encountered such a rude bartender. I paid for the wine I was lucky to get when I arrived and left for a much nicer restaurant up the highway. Will never go back. This was in early June 2025.

When I arrived customers sitting at the bar told me "Good luck getting...
