Farnesi's Steakhouse & Bar

Server was great, the ube cheesecake and the appetizer sampler platter was very good. I got the Rib eye steak. For $38 I was hoping for better quality. Was pretty flavorless and a little chewey. The mashed potatoes and broccoli soup were pretty good. Overall I'd definitely go back but I'd never drop $38 on a steak there again!! All told for appetizer, tea, steak and dessert the bill was about $75

Fantastic spot in chowchilla! The top sirloin steak was cooked perfectly - a very nice medium rare. It was seasoned well for a thick and juicy steak. The reason why I had to rate the food a 4/5 is because everything was heavily salted; too much. The steamed veggies tasted like they were soaked in salt water. The brown gravy on top of my mashed potatoes was heavily salted - inedible, I just ate around the gravy. The Bourbon Pork Belly Bites were absolutely amazing. Perfectly balanced on the pallet. There's the smokiness of the bourbon, which wasn't overbearing. The texture was on point; soft-tender on the fat, and some of the meat had a bit of a bite to it. It was a good thing for the texture contrast.

“Steakhouse vibes, Cold War décor, and a salad dressing that fought back.” Farnesi’s Steakhouse & Coffee Shop – Chowchilla, CA Found this place via Facebook, because apparently websites are for quitters. Right off the I-5, tucked beside a Days Inn and a road that looks like it survived a few tours overseas. I’ve driven on smoother terrain in Iraq. Walked in looking for the “coffee shop” part. Never found it. Maybe it’s a metaphor. Seat yourself. No greeting, no sign. Just vibes and aged carpet. The big roadside sign visible from the freeway has clearly seen some things. A little paint and dignity might go a long way. Service: No name given, but our waitress was decent—at least compared to her colleague, who watched us leave, locked eyes with us, and said nothing. Coldest send-off this

We often eat here for a date night.I love the steak diane very laid back i feel in the main dining area and then they also have a fine dining area as well as a bar. And karaoke it is a pretty awesome place right off the freeway.

Excellent Steakhouse. Highly recommend. The pork belly appetizer was amazing
