Most Disliked
Some diners have pointed out that service can slow down during peak times, especially when the lone waitstaff also acts as the bartender. This can lead to longer wait times for refills. A handful of comments mention that while the atmosphere is great, it can get quite crowded, particularly on weekends, which might detract from your dining experience if you prefer quieter settings. A few patrons have expressed that some menu items, like the railroad skin potatoes, could benefit from improved seasoning. Lastly, while generally family-friendly, some families wish that the kids' menu offered more variety.

Food is good and service excellent. Went during breakfast my only concern is that the food waitress is the same bartender ant take little longer to check on coffee rounds. Other than that. I recommend this restaurant 100%. Also I like the new location.

Fired Up Cover Band had a great time rocking out with the good people at Sugar Pine Smokehouse. The crowd was so fun and engaging, the food was incredible, and the drinks were equally amazing especially considering how hot it was that day. Big thanks to Sugar Pine Smokehouse and all of the amazing people who came out to see us lay down our favorite tunes!!!!

Definitely show up during Happy Hour! Half price list of great appetizers and great drinks! The railroad skin potatoes are delicious. Not a fan of them myself, but I split them with him because hey were really that tasty. I would also recommend the nachos and they are big enough to be a meal by themselves. If you’re in town, stop by! Service was expedient and friendly!

Their Chicken Alfredo has a smoke flavor that is uniquely wonderful and my new must have. I don't know what magic farm they find tomatoes that are so sweet but kiddos. I was also very impressed by the size of their side salad as I ordered this threw GrubHub. And yes it is buttermilk dressing.. In all I think I will be craving this for some time and would definitely recommend giving this place a try.

Best kept secret in madera. Don't worry about what you order everything on the menu is excellent. They have a full bar and very friendly bartenders. You're also right on a golf course what more could you ask for hands down one of my top five restaurants in Madera.
