Beagle says...
The Elbow Room is Fresno at its most traditional. Do you want to know what the heart of Fresno beats like? This is your restaurant. The food here is American bar and grill. Meat. Find it on the menu, order it and revel in it. Don't even bother with anything fishy, salady or otherwise not fit for a carnivore. Remember, this is the heart of Fresno, not L.A. Thinking of ordering non-alcoholic? Hit the bricks. Even before your meat, you simply have to order something from the bar. This is Fresno's own, so slide into the booth, order something hard, then something red and well-done, and take in the show. Highly recommended to anyone trying to learn to fit in to valley life.    [10 Sep 2000 00:37:16]

Service was relatively prompt, and the place is quite fascinating with all the old photos gracing the walls.
The food was very good, but I was less than thrilled to pay in excess of $60 for a simple dinner for two.    [19 May 2001 21:30:01]

Great Watering Hole
Fun, loud place but food has faltered recently. All veggies taste the same, over-sauced with pre-fab garlic and oil.    [07 Aug 2003 18:26:01]

Delightful dinner
My mom took my wife and I to this Fresno Favorite for dinner. The banquet room was adjacent to our table which added to the always loud ambiance of the Elbow Room. I ordered Calamari and an iceberg lettuce salad.

The salad was a disappointment. The crumbled blue cheese, egg and bacon bits were overdone and the dressing way too scarce.

The Calamari did not disappoint, breaded and pan fried, it was tender and delicious, covered with basil and sun dried tomatoes. The highlight of the evening. The pilaf was okay, but it lacked moisture and flavor. The Calamari saved the day though. I would go back just for the entree.

My wife ordered a rib eye steak. It was tender and flavorful. Of course it should be for $30.00    [12 Nov 2006 13:46:30]
