Always wanted to stop here and finally did. Glad we did. One night we had their original wing and Cubano Sandwiches. The wings werenât like any wings Iâve had before they were so far above the taste of any other wing anywhere else I wonât order anywhere else now....Iâve been spoiled. The Cubano sandwich was to tenter juicy and tender I couldnât believe it. Amazing! So good we went back a second time whilein the area. Night two, we had the teriyaki wings and they were even better! How can that be? This chef needs to teach every other chef how to do wings! The margarita pizza was excellent too. Kudos to the owner, he has an amazing place!

Local, and always from-scratch, our pub grub is the best in the area. Everything is handmade, from pub classics to eclectic favorites. We focus on cooking with craft beer. We have 10 taps for our amazing hand selected craft beers. A small selection of loc

I ignored this place for a long time because I donât drink beer and so I thought it had nothing to offer for me. Big mistake. First, they always have several ciders, some on tap, and theyâre great about offering tastes to help you figure out what works for you. Second, the large menu of excellent bar food. Love the fish tacos and the roasted brussel sprouts. Last but not least, the service has been consistently friendly and welcoming. We know weâll keep coming.

I love Trio's exquisite mural, friendly staff, usually excellent music and adequate parking but the French fries continue to be frozen and (because it's usually busy) the service could be better. Tuesday $5 burger and fries night competes with the Rainbow Cattle Company's $5 buffets for needy and underfunded groups and I wish they would change it to any other day. The food is generally just fine and it's a very homey room but if In-N-Out burger can manage fresh cut french fries I can't understand why Trio can't. Is it economics or expedience? I'll continue to patronize it but out of respect to its clients, they should try fresh-cut fries and see if it works for them.

We went here for dinner after the restaurant across the street was closed. Food was okay. Kids loved their swedish meatballs and mashed potatoes. I ordered tuna and it was well done. I don't know any chef that would serve it well done. Huge portions and should have spit it, but didn't. $29 each entree, I was less than thrilled. Waiter was really great.

We're all about relaxing on the Russian River. Slow food, slow beer and lazy afternoons on the deck. So lazy, that they can easily roll well into the evening (morning?) hours. We're just a friendly rural [Brew] Pub with good local beer, good simple food a

Definitely a local feel to this joint. Have driven by many a time and finally decided to stop in. As others have pointed out, it has a great beer garden deck overlooking the river, which would be fantastic in the summer. Decent beers, dark interior, pub food - whatâs not to like? We will for sure come back in the warmer months and check it out.

We recently visited for dinner. Both the bar and restaurant were busy and energetic. The ambiance is rustic and fitting with the location. The food was very good. We had burgers and fish dishes. Everyone agreed that food was very good. Unfortunately, the service was not as good. It took about 45 min for food to arrive and they got some of the orders wrong. In the end the burgers were excellent and fish dishes were well cooked.

Fabulous little spot for happy hour. Specializes in Tequila, Mezcal and Bourbon cocktails. Also has a nice selections of unusual appetizers (cucumbers in lemon and chili salt). I had a great jalapeno margarita and my gf had a delicious sangria. Cute little patio in the back.

The 'Bo, as we locals call it, is delightful, unpretentious, welcoming and comfortable no matter who you are. Yes in the 'old days' it was a refuge and sanctuary for the weary and persecuted, but now Guerneville has morphed into one of the most integrated, seamless and un-judgemental towns west of the Allegheny. Wii video bowling Mondays during the winter (a benefit for the Sisters, and thanks to innkeeper Bob, every Tuesday for the last decade) has been a benefit for a non-profit, needy, underfunded or deserving local group. The two pool table are covered with wild and useful raffle prizes and the buffets, furnished by the recipients, are imaginative, skillfully prepared and full of surprises.The Rainbow's decor is neo Old West, stools encircle the bar and there's a modest adjacent patio. The crowds can be lively and spontaneous but it's fun and contagious.Thank you Bobby, Ben and all those who make us feel we're glad we're there.

We tried Main Street Bistro after a mid-day walk through the Armstrong Redwoods and are glad we did. The bruschetta appetizer was delicious, and the pizza was excellent. We ate in the bar, and the bartender could not have been more helpful. She was attentive and anticipated our needs. We highly recommend Main Street Bistro!

First I have to mention that this place is in need of renovation. The inside is dark and dreary with natural wood walls that haven't been maintained after many years being in business and the bathroom is almost grouse. My husband was satisfied with the Philly Cheese Steak sandwich and the cup of bean/pulled pork soup that he ordered. I ordered a special of the day Chicken Enchilada with beans and rice. I am positive I was served the take out ready-made chicken enchilada you can buy in Costco...am sure of this because we've purchased them many times for a quick meal at home ourselves. It was a disappointment as I expected to see fresh enchiladas on my plate. Service was slow and the price was higher than we would have paid at our favorite Mexican restaurant where the enchiladas are made fresh.
