Left us wanting to come back for more! Stan is a man that does not like change. He likes what he likes and is hesitant to trying new things. Stan was glad he joined us on this venture.

Summer is Here.
Stating the obvious as we bake in this 100+ degree weather but what better way to cool off in this unrelentless heat then with a cool, refreshing cocktail. The LR4U crew is partial to craft brews but is always in the search of a summer cocktail that makes living in the armpit of California a… Continue reading Summer is Here.

Chili’s (Strike 3 We’re Out) 2.75 Stars
There's a reason why we stay away from corporate establishments and Chili's on Mooney Blvd. in Visalia proved our point. Not once or twice but THREE times. We understand that every seat in your restaurant is viewed as $ and it's important to move customers in and out as fast as possible so your seats… Continue reading Chili’s (Strike 3 We’re Out) 2.75 Stars
Sequoia Brewing Company 3.6 Stars
You can often find the Locals Review Crew strolling down Main Street at sunset on any day of the week. There is something appealing about downtown that keeps us coming back.
