   Hugely disappointed. Ratings are based on food and slightly on service. We invited a friend for her 60th birthday. I had little to eat all day in anticipation. Both our friend and myself ordered the Fried Chicken (2 small pieces). When it arrived, I noticed right away areas of black on the skin, figured it maybe stayed in the fryer or pan a bit too long. I looked at her plate and saw the same. Majority of skin was inedible - too hard, couldn't bite through it. The white meat chicken was dry and not flavorful. I had to pour the honey over the meat so it was edible. Who wants sweet Fried Chicken? The sides, a small piece of cornbread and coleslaw, tasted and looked like a 4 year old made them. Cornbread was super dry (the honey didn't help) and the coleslaw was a lifeless gray color (I know it was pickled) and left so much to be desired. Our server never came by to ask how everything tasted, only to ask if she'd like another drink. I think he knew the chicken was nowhere worth $28 and actually was ashamed. My husband ordered the Seared Yellow Fin which was meh. Nothing special at all for $45. I didn't complain to the server about the meal because I didn't want my friend to feel bad but my disappointment was apparent. We will not be back. Maybe the head chef and crew need to eat some of those dishes that are coming out of the kitchen (for sure the chicken) and rethink the recipes and cooking methods. Not worth your money or time.

   Chose Bull Valley Roadhouse for a family dinner, and was delighted! Their food selections, from a seasonally varying menu, are always excellent, as are those INCREDIBLE cocktails!. Their mixologist has a flair for some wonderful libations. The staff could not have been more attentive, and despite having a full house on a busy Saturday holiday weekend, they didn’t rush us out the door when we finished. When out of town company visits, we love to share this funky slice of heaven with them! Bravo!

   I love this restaurant. But this time the food was mediocre, the service was spotty and the little things I’ve always appreciated were missing. Cocktails went to the wrong person, four of us were served way before the last person received their food, and the Mac and cheese was so overdone, we had to send it back, which we have never done at this restaurant. It’s a trek for us to get here. It was not worth it this time.

   The food was satisfactory, however, the portions were on the smaller side. The service was mediocre as our food was mistakenly delivered to another table, resulting in a lengthy wait. Fortunately, our waitress made amends for the error, which was a positive aspect. I do not plan on returning.

   The food and service is incredible. The menu changes all the time and there are always some great surprises to try. Grew up in Crockett and love visiting my old stomping grounds in Port Costa.

    Love this place. The Halloween deco in this Victorian setting was awesome.
