The Rock of Twain Harte

Great service, we showed up 10 minutes before closing with a party of 9. I was only able to snap a pic of the Mac and Cheese because everyone was so hungry they ripped right in. The Mac and cheese- Fantastic those little mysterious crispy strings added some great texture. The loaded burger- Amazing cooked medium and everything was fresh. Fish and chips- crispy battered pieces of heaven. I forgot the name of them but there had fries with meat and sauce on them- Ridiculously good. Thanks The Rock!

We've been coming here for about 2 decades and are never disappointed. The atmosphere is wonderful inside and out. We enjoy the indoor fireplace in the winter and eating on the deck or their covered patio in the warmer months. There have been some updates to the menu that are really delicious but the staples we love are still there too. Our favorites are the salads, burgers, fish & chips and desserts. This time we had the Bacon Fire Fries (or something close to that) and they were "fire!" Chipotle aioli sauce with a honey favor too, they were phenomenal! Unlike many restaurants in Twain Harte, they are open 7 days a week!

We came just for the Jalapeño Chompers. This dish puts an incredible twist on traditional poppers — it’s much larger, and instead of bread crumbs, it uses a fish-and-chips–style batter, which makes the outer layer even crispier. The center has spicy jalapeño and high-quality melted cheese with a hint of sourness. Dipped into their ranch sauce, it’s divine. I think they might have a small kitchen, though. It took about 40 minutes for our food to be served while the place wasn’t even full. However, it’s worth the wait.

Really excellent food and service. Lots of outdoor seating. Server submits order immediately on a tablet and food comes out very fast. We arrived at just before 6 and there lots of tables open. In the hour we were here, people piled in in droves. This was a Tuesday night in August.

They have the best garlic fries and fried chicken sandwich I’ve ever had anywhere. I would take better pictures but I ate it too fast to remember. BTW- sandwich was 3x what was pictured. I will always come back here on my way through.

We absolutely love this place! Whenever we're in the Sierras, we make sure to come by. The atmosphere is always great, the burgers are fantastic, and they have an excellent selection of beers on tap. The thing that keeps us coming back is the jalapeño chompers—they are truly one of a kind. You absolutely need to try them!

Fabulous comfort food! Short ribs were great, collard greens phenomenal, wings were fantastic (classic style), and service was excellent. Highly recommend.
