In the summer, this is the place to buy fresh, local peaches. Throughout the year, they also sell frozen fruit and other baked goods such as tiny peach pies (called peach jewels). Check the hours, though, because they tend to have short days.

If you're from outside California, sampling In-N-Out fast food burgers is a popular tourist stop. They've got a small menu but fresh ingredients. There's also an additional "secret menu" if you search online.

A personal favorite for a semi casual meal. About a 15 min drive. Order at front and sit. Farm to table rotating menu. Family style is great so you can try a few things. Upscale Americana type food. Try to save room for dessert!

Great food, beer and wine. Try some tri-tip steak if you haven't before. It's a Central California specialty. And the place is literally called "The Local" so it must be a local's spot. :-)
