The 19th Hole, Tres Pinos, CA

The 19th Hole is like a really cool real deal cowboy bar and restaurant. It is located in the heart of Tres Pinos, CA. A little town that has a few restaurants, a fire department, a post office and a feed store. If you blink while going through this town, you will miss it. The restaurant is in an old building that looks like a saloon in the old western cowboy days. It is decorated with some old style guns, some bows and arrows scattered all over the place, saloon doors and cowboy western stuff everywhere. There are also pictures of real cowboys from that area and their history hanging throughout the restaurant. It is a really cool place.



The food is excellent! My usual there is either the Chicken Hole Club or the Hole Burger. The Chicken Hole Club has chipotle may, bacon, pepper jack and wood fire grilled chicken. It is served on a bun with french fries. The Hole Burger is a freshly ground beef patty with jalapeno poppers, pepper jack, lettuce, tomatoes, onions and pickles on a bun. It's also served with french fries or onion rings. The french fries are big fries and the onion rings are beer battered and totally delicious. A really cool thing about their drinks is when you order them, they come in a large mason jar. They have a really great kids menu with the usual grilled cheese, mac and cheese, etc.

If you are ever heading down to Monterey or the Pinnacles in the Hollister area, make sure you go through Tres Pinos and eat there....you won't be disappointed!
