Bishop Farms - San Ramon

I 'm shocked at how good this place was. It 's tucked in by the Bishop Ranch Lake, at the Roundhouse . I 've walked by many times, but finally came to try today! It 's always very busy inside around lunchtime, as employees are on their lunch breaks. Cool that regular passerby can dine in/to go too! There 's a huge amount of both indoor and outdoor seating, you 'll always find a seat. Ordering process is pretty simple- order at the register, then show your receipt and pay when they call out your name. Our order took less than 5 minutes to prepare. The prices are amazing (for San Ramon, at least). We ordered a tri-tip salad and a tri-tip plate with broccoli and potatoes, with both meals being $12 each. The portion size is very large, and it 's plated very gourmet, with a free cookie.The tri-tip was good, but pretty plain. Didn 't bother me too much, I enjoyed mine with mustard, and the plate came with a yummy sauce. They didn 't ask how we 'd like it cooked, and it was pretty inconsistent. My salad 's meat was mainly well-done, whereas the plate was more medium. Overall super impressed! The workers were all super nice, the meal was satisfying, and I couldn 't be happier with the price and portion size. I 'll be back to try the sandwiches!

Happened to be in the building around lunch time so we decided to eat here. I ordered a Vietnamese salad and hubby ordered a tri-tip sandwich. My salad was very bland and the sauce did not go with the dish. Sandwich and chips were really good and cooked perfectly. Lots of places to sit down either outside or inside.

$12 for a tri-tip, big portion with 2 sides. Nice. great place to have lunch beside the lake and enjoy the sun. staffs are friendly and quick service.

Bishop Farms can best be described as healthy bland . It 's good for you, but is either unseasoned or never seasoned quite right.Generally I enjoy the plain and filling meals, but now I usually ask for no sauce because let me tell you, that sauce is never balanced and never goes with the food. I do however love that they have a side of basmati rice as I usually just add that onto whichever meal I 've ordered and most recently have started mixing it in with soup to give it some balanced flavor, since the soup is usually quite good.Once you 've ordered (their menu changes slightly every month), you walk down and pay at the end. Seating is plentiful but we usually just sit outside and enjoy the local wildlife. Trays can be dropped off next to where you ordered from.All in all, Bishop Farms is well priced well and not too bad as long as you know what you 're getting into.

Decent plate, you get a slice of grilled salmon with two side choices and a cookie for under $15. The roasted broccoli is tasty. We are pretty satisfied for a Friday lunch.
