These places will hook you up with delicious food without breaking the bank. Promise, you will have leftovers!
If you live teriyaki, this place is legit. One of my favorite take out places because they have such good portions with any protein, rice and a side salad with a homemade dressing that’s better than ranch. They carried me through the pandemic.
Teriyaki Don
Best burgers I’ve ever had! I brag about this place to non-locals. They do gourmet burgers AND it’s well priced. Coming from a broke college student, it’s worth a visit.
House of JuJu
I’ve been coming here since it’s opened and they have such a large and diverse menu. It’s a good mix of bar food and dinner favorites like chicken pot pie or rice bowls. They have a cool inside, TV’s + a bar, and a large patio that’s dog friendly! Th...
Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar

Love coming here for the vibes and the nachos!! As an avid nacho eater, theirs is the best because they’re loaded with steak and all the good toppings/dips. On a regular day it’s nice and chill, but they also have TV’s and all kinds of tap beer, so i...
Neighbors | Tap and Cook House
You’ve probably missed this place while driving by on Shaw, but next time you need to make a stop! It’s my favorite place to get a classic milkshake. They also have a huge menu from sandwiches, burgers and Philly cheese steaks, all 10/10. The place i...
Bob's Good Burger
If you live in Fresno then you’ve heard of this place. The line is always out the door because the food is just that good. It’s all organic and fresh, and they have amazing service. While it is always busy, I found that the line moves quickly and the...

Coziest and cutest Italian restaurant in Fresno! It’s even got the approval from my Italian boyfriend lol. They have a really cool vintage interior, so be sure to take photos! All of their plates are so good and they are definitely sharing sizes. Wen...
Luna Italian Restaurant and Pizzeria - Luna Pizzeria & Italian ... - Clovis
The only rooftop place in Fresno and the views are so pretty. Went with my mom one time and they had bottomless mimosas for their Sunday brunch. Amazing cocktails too! It’s always a perfect evening when I go.

This place is one of the only times I’ll wear a nice dress to eat pizza. The food is so good and I highly recommend their parm fries as an appetizer. It’s a really nice place, but still quiet enough for an intimate dinner. They also give you free alm...
The Annex Kitchen
Absolutely love this place for a fancy night out. It’s dim lit lighting fancy with amazing dishes. I got their pasta with coconut shoot as an appetizer and it was so good. I would make a reservation or call to see how busy they are because it’s a rea...
Yosemite Ranch - Steak, Fish, Bar
This is another really fancy Italian spot that I love for dates or special occasions. I love ordering their pasta, but I’m dying to go back for the pizza. They also have a large drink menu if you’re looking to just grab a drink. Really pretty patio t...
