Food scene

By far our favorite breakfast spot in Visalia. The pancakes are some of the best we have ever had. If they happen to have the Cinnamon Roll Pancakes on special, I would highly recommend getting an order to share. And an order of the Swedish, oatmeal, or buttermilk pancakes is also a must—we usually get an order of all three to share between the five of us.

You may drive up to this spot and immediately doubt our wisdom… It is located in what might feel like a slightly shady part of Visalia, but trust us, it is delicious and a local favorite. The beef pho, especially on a cold rainy day, is pure comfort food.

This might be my favorite place in Visalia. Note that it is located in the same area as Xiong Pho N Seafood and the seating is only outdoors. Their delicious & unique tacos are just about $2 each, but my favorite item on the menu is the ramen. It is so good that I will even get it when the weather is hot. You might be thinking that tacos and ramen are a weird combination, and you are correct, but it works, and you should try it! IG: @tacoslucha

Delicious artisan pizza. Our favorite is the Muscles from Brussels pizza—a little spicy & sweet. Great stop on your way home after a day of exploring the national parks. IG: @planingmill

Looking for something a little fancier? Our go to nicer restaurant is Jack & Charlies. Fun drinks and the menu is always changing. The venue is really fun too. Look for the vintage red telephone booth and then walk down the stairs to the basement. IG: @jackandcharlies

Again, don’t be alarmed by this windowless building, it is very clean inside and the food is incredible. The bibimbap with a fried egg is my favorite.

Good Mediterranean food, but my favorite part is the outdoor seating area. It is a great spot for big groups and it is very family friendly. IG: @pitakabob

My husband’s favorite brewery in the area. Good selection of beers on top and a fun outdoor area in the back. Check their website to find out days that they are offering food trucks, or just just stop by The Planing Mill and bring one of their delicious pizzas in to go along with the beers. IG: @bhbcvisalia

Want a taste of classic Visalia? Then go to the Vintage Press. Slightly fancier and pricier than most of our other selections, but this restaurant has been around for decades and filled with history and pretty good food. IG: @vintagepressvisalia

Great acai bowls and they also have egg scrambles and lunch bowl options too. They have a small eating area outside, but also a drive through, which makes it a quick and easy stop on your way towards the coast or Yosemite. IG: @farmfreshbowls

Coffee Shops

Great coffee, atmosphere, and their staff is super friendly & helpful—and their house made donuts are delightful. Your freezer should be stocked with their coffee, if you want a little preview. IG: @componentcoffeelab
