Bravo Farms Restaurant — Restaurant in Tulare

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...

👉Every time I eat here the food is cooked fresh and is so flavor full. I ordered the bravo nachos with tri tip, the tip is smoked on site, smokey and tender. The chips are fresh and they use two types of cheese on their nachos, the ricotta cheese really adds the extra texture and compliments the smokiness of the meat. The other cheese is a drippy melty queso Blanco type cheese, which off sets the texture of the ricotta but also add a different flavor to the nachos. Piled high with chips, 2 cheeses, meat, and pico, this beast is served on a gaint plate and big enough for two people easily. I ate half and took half home for a later meal and it looked liked I still had another full meal to go. 🥤The sodas are fountain style, they are A COKE restaurant, and the soda out of the machines is self serve. The use single serve clear plastic cups. The soda is always well carbonated and balanced, I have never once been and had to wait for them to refill a soda syrup or fix carbonation. 🌸Atmosphere, is pretty much was to what is expected for a big outdoor shopping mall. Tons of people comming and going and with covid, tables are outside now. They have placed tables around the gaint big beautiful Christmas tree 🎄 out front which was lovely eating by. If you sit closer to the front they also have heat lamps for when it gets a bit chilly twords the evening! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 stars! Overall this place has a great easy atmosphere, cozy, hometown feel, big portions of delicious food sorced for no other place than locally here in the valley! If your a local you know eating here is a casual always good time. If your from out of town I would recommend going into the little Bravo Farms store and picking up some locally made sweet treats to go they are...
