Tried this place based on prior reviews and their presence in Mad City Cocktail book..This is the old Ponderosa. Remodeling that has been done is remarkable! I counted a minimum of 25 HD flat screens..Bar and dining area comfortable and nicely appointed..Good beer selection.Happy hour until 6PM.It was a Thurs evening and place was busy.Server advised that there was all ready a waitng list for Friday fish fry[which includes all you can eat smelt]. Had smoked pastrami rueben which was excellent and comes with tasty fries.Companion had beef brisket sandwich which was good albeit on the "dry" side.Service was very attentive and friendly[Jenny],Definitely will return to what has now become my favorite tavern grill in McFarland.
