School House Restaurant & Tavern

School House Restaurant & Tavern



The Schoolhouse Restaurant offers 'farm to table' finer dining. Located in the green farm fields of Sanger in a refurbished schoolhouse built in 1921, visiting the restaurant offers a nice scenic drive  followed by a menu designed around seasonal ingredients from local growers. Our party of three went for the Restaurant's special Thanksgiving menu. The Thanksgiving menu offered a three-course meal (appetizer/salad; entree; and dessert) at a fixed price.

Executive chef Ryan Jackson began his experience in farm to table food growing up on a fruit farm in nearby Reedly.

The Schoolhouse Restaurant is open for lunch Wednesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m., for brunch on Sunday from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m., and for dinner Wednesday through Sunday starting at 5 p.m. until 9 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and until 8 p.m. the other nights. The tavern is opens at 3 p.m. until 9 p.m. on Wednesday and Thursday, until 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and until 8 p.m. on Sunday.

The Restaurant is located right on highway 180, at the corner of Frankwood Avenue in Sanger (1018 South Frankwood Avenue) about a half hour east of Fresno.
