We love the food here. Great sandwiches and cocktails. So many things to choose from. The burgers are great and I love their fries.

You will not leave hungry! The burgers and hamburgers are so big you can't bite it all at once. Very tasty food. Amazing staff. It is very loud in there, but the bar is really nice if you like that sort of thing. read more

We love Cavana's. We live like 90 min away but always make sure to stop by for the volcano sandwich and a Bloody Mary every time we drive through sutter creek. read more

Sunday afternoon here is busy. Friendly staff and amazing soups makes this a for certain stop on a chilly winter day. Two choices for soup were tomato bisque and French onion soup. Both were amazing. We opted for the soup and half sandwich. We ordered the volcano sandwich and the Boston Alley BLTA. The volcano had so much turkey meat you had to take out over half of it out in order to bite the sandwich. So yummy with all the flavors. The BLTA is a more manageable sandwich and so tasty. read more

The food is great!! Busy place I like the chicken salad!! Service is slow if busy. Otherwise, they are great!!

Out and about, so decided to stop here for lunch. It was great! The chicken stuffed pepper soup was delicious! The smoke flavor of the turkey was perfect. Pastrami was very lean, moist, and flavorful. Salad was fresh, mixed greens with a perfect vinaigrette and blue cheese. Service was excellent! A definite place that we'll plan a return visit! read more

Christine O'Neill at Water Street Antiques recommended this restaurant to us and I am so glad she did. I had the Caesar Salad with shrimp. My husband had 1/2 a sandwich and the chowder. The shrimp were good sized prawns and my husband's 1/2 sandwich looked like a full sandwich. We both were really happy with our meals and we had great service. We were surprised that the servers were not wearing masks. Since we are both fully vaccinated, we felt ok coming in. A few months ago, we would not have come in. Thanks for a wonderful lunch. When we come back up to this area, we will definitely stop by for lunch again. read more

What a great place! Stopped with family for drinks and appys, did not disappoint. Asked server Marina for a group pic and she gave us a bonus pic of herself too! Fun vibes, great appys and drinks! Great service read more

absolutely love cavana's for lunch or dinner! the staff are always so kind and helpful. the most recent trip i was here i was with a party of 10. with it being a busy weekend they weren't able to accommodate a last minute reservation, but sat us shortly after a large party left. i love that they have a text waitlist option so you can see where you're at in line! i've never had a bad meal here. the goat balls are worth every penny. the pub pretzels are absolutely fire. the fried zucchini is DELICIOUS. don't be scared by the zucchini half -- it's cooked to perfection! the cabana's club is great for club sandwich fans! the burger patties are from a local meat company.. i'm drooling just thinking about them. terri jo blue burger will satisfy EVERY taste bud. my only complaint is parking is tough, but worth it to eat here! read more

The service was excellent at a Friday lunch rush. The food was as amazing - as it always is. The Grilled Cheese with crab is our go-to dish and it didn't disappoint! Substituted the House Salad for the fries and it made a complete and completely delicious meal! Our favorite place in Sutter Creek!! Thanks again for a great meal read more

We were excited to give this place a try. We went for dinner and there was a 20 minute wait. There isn't room inside to wait unless you want to go to the bar, if there are seats, so we went outside to walk around. It was a cold night. We got a text saying our table was ready. They seated us in the back at a cramped table right next to the entrance/exit to the kitchen. The table had to be pushed back against the wall to allow the employees to go in and out. Our server was very friendly. We ordered our drinks first. IPA beer selection was not the best but we did like what we ordered. We ordered our food and told the server we were each splitting a meal. I don't understand the 3 inch high burgers. They look impressive but to try and eat it is hard and messy. Prices weren't too bad but we were not impressed enough to come back next time we are visiting. It was average at best for over all. Best thing was the server. read more

I've been to Cavana's twice now. We have a vacation house in Kirkwood and pass through the Jackson / Sutter Creek area on the way home. Sutter Creek is a cute foothills town, and from our experience, it's the best dining option in town. My wife is a vegetarian, so she ordered the veggie burger, which came with fries. Huge amount of food, and she loved both the burger and fries. I decided to try something different and order the club sandwich. Ok, I'm a big guy and have a big mouth, but the sandwich was so tall I couldn't fit it into my mouth - I had to use a fork and knife. The ingredients of the club sandwich were super fresh - the ham was fantastic. But I really do like to cram sandwiches into my mouth, so I'd suggest making them a little less tall. Cavana's has a good local vibe - there was a 49ers game happening at the time, and the bar was full, as well as most of the restaurant. Both times we visited the service was exceptional. Overall a great place to stop to eat when driving through the Jackson area. read more

The first time we ate here, the food was good, but we got one meal at a time, and one was wrong, and it took 30 minutes to get the first plate....We ate there again yesterday, and WILL NEVER GO BACK ! It took an hour to get our food, and it wasn't crowded, so not sure why it takes so long? Waitresses have no clue as to what they are doing, took my credit card and bill, brought it back ten minutes later , and it wasn't run through ! Skip this experience , other good places in town. read more

Stopped for lunch and really enjoyed it! Bartender Eric was super nice and we shared a spinach salad and 49er Reuben! Delish and the fries were hot and crisp! Highly recommend! read more

We were in the area with four great friends for the weekend and discovered Cavana's and it was one of the highlights of our trip. It's family owned and the love of this place shows in the menu selection and most importantly the service provided by Sean and Chelsea. The food is excellent and the portions are very large. I had a small Chelsea Cobb Salad and soup (made by Grandma) and I couldn't believe the size of the "small" salad. The clam chowder was one of the best I've had and I've had quite a bit. We loved it so much that we went back the next day with two more friends and they graciously accommodated all 8 of us. We were not disappointed the second day and will definitely come back when in the area. In fact we've told several people about Cavana's so I suspect that some will be taking a day trip to taste the fabulous food and enjoy Sutter Creek, Jackson and Volcano. We'll definitely be back. read more

A gem in Sutter Creek. Treating cousin to birthday lunch, and we had such a great experience. The service was friendly, and very attentive, while the food was on point! I will be going back with hubster to fully enjoy the menu. read more

The food is always good but the music is much too loud for a lunch crowd. You shouldn't have to shout to be heard by your table mates.

Food is amazing. My go to is Buffalo Chicken sandwich. Love their burgers, great variety. Service is usually really good. Can be loud which I don't mind. TV's on all walls, great for watching sports. read more

Loved this place. Went for the first time Sunday afternoon. The drinks were well made. We had a Manhattan and the Blueberry Mule. Friendly service. Food has generous portions and everything we ordered came out delicious. Definitely enjoyed the atmosphere here. read more

Food - Pub Pretzels: we got 2 salted pretzels with a side of cheese and a side of mustard. The kids liked them a lot. - Artichoke Spinach Dip: came out piping hot with perfectly toasted bread on the side. The dip itself was so flavorful, cheesy and loaded with artichokes and spinach. This was a huge portion and had enough leftover to eat it at home two more times! - Nana's Soup (French Onion Soup): I tend to order this every time we come here because it's so good! Comes with 2 small, but thick, slices of toasted buttery bread on the side... Perfect for dipping. - Spicy Amador Burger: this burger was loaded with goodness and came with a huge pickle spear on the side. We had so much other food that we ended up taking half of it home. Not complaining at all... It was still good the next day. - Fries: came with the burger. They were thick and crispy. Kids liked them too. Drinks - Bloody Motherload: I order a Bloody Mary every time I see one on the menu and this one did not disappoint. All the garnishes were nice, but that bacon was exceptionally good. - Beer on tap New Glory Scissors in Space: nice and cold... perfect on a hot day. On our other visits, we've also had the mules (so refreshing) and the appetizer sampler platter (so much food!). The fried zucchini appetizer is a must-try. We've never seen them done this way and were actually in awe when we first got them. We always try to come here every time we're in the area. The food and service are always great. The portions are huge so be prepared to take some food to go. It's a very popular place and at times there can be a wait, but it's worth it. read more

Great food, huge portions, lively and friendly place, but they can be really slow on weekends. Last few times we went, it took 15-20 minutes for the waiter to even acknowledge us after being seats. read more

Service was good, chicken was not fully cooked so i stoped eating it when i realized it! Also had no flavor! Nice place but not something i would go back to! read more

The food is outstanding. Local beef. They make veggie burgers that are amazing. Oh, the garlic fries are to die for. Only down side is that it has very loud music, and it is hard to have a conversation. They do have a few outdoor tables. read more

Came here to fill our bellies and help with the buzz we developed along the way of touring downtown Sutter Creek (Shout out to Simply Bubbles!). But left full of delicious snacks and equally, if not more buzzed (thanks Erik!) than when we came in. New favorite spot for a scrumptious treat read more

Great place with a varied and delicious menu in Sutter Creek. We went recently for dinner during our girls' weekend. Everyone enjoyed their food. Servers were friendly and professional, and though we had one meal that arrived later than all the others, the management was apologetic and made sure we were compensated. We will definitely be back! read more

Always the best spot for lunch in Sutter Creek. You will not go away hungry! Great beers on tap as well.

Stopped in this place to give the burgers a try and we loved it. We also tried and enjoyed the fried artichoke hearts. read more

Although the atmosphere and service was delightful, I have to say that was the most tasteless grilled cheese I have ever had, and my husband said the burger he had tasted like there was no spice at all. Where was all the flavor? read more

This is my husband and my "GO-TO!" We absolutely LOVE this place! The portions are enormous, taste delicious and the servers are amazing. Very attentive, fill your drinks, ask you how you're doing, and come chat with you! Great music, great decor, and friendly locals! Were here about 2x a month :) read more

The food is good and always has been. It's their service people that really suck and it has been an on going problem at this establishment for a long time. They have zero understanding of how to take care of business. ( water, napkins, silverware, condiments, attentiveness, etc, etc ) It seems like they get some random person that's walking downtown Sutter Creek and ask them to go in the restaurant and wait on customers. They have zero teamwork and it seems like mass confusion watching the staff work the floor. I could go on and on about the lack of professionalism of their wait staff but it will be a whole another group of waitresses working there in a few of weeks. I have seen a lot of turn over here. It would been frustrating working with many untrained staff. The one star is for the service, not the food- that would be a 5 read more

One of my favorite places to eat with my family never had a bad meal ! Recommended to Emily that I was in town . read more

I'm a Sutter Creek native. I'd like to see this place pop up out here in my new home town of Lebanon, TN. The town square here needs some good food and it's lacking a good breakfast joint like Buffalo chips was. Just a suggestion. I was in Sutter Creek just over a week ago and I took my mama to an early dinner here. They have a great menu and a good spirits list. Good place to dine while you're in Sutter Creek. I learned the previous owners are in Lebanon now. It would be great to see them start a business here in TN. read more

Food is great here. If you find yourself in Sutter Creek it is worth a visit. We just happened to stop in after a Sunday drive and love this place. read more

House salad is really yummy. And they have a good gluten free bun! Always have had good service when visiting. Recommend this place!

Food was good. Service terrible. Had to wait awhile to be seated even though the place was half empty at 4 pm. Server was pleasant, took our order, brought us our food and then we never saw her again. Menu said 1 free refill with soda drinks but she NEVER stopped by. I had to stop someone to get us napkins. Then I had to ask someone for a bag to take leftovers home. Then I had to ask someone for the bill and was told my server would bring it. This person disappeared and I thought they went to tell our server but our server walked past our table and on the third pass I had to call her back and ask for the bill. The place was loud and noisy but then it is a pub so the ambience wasn't for our group. But the food was good. read more

I'm updating my review... although the food & drinks are amazing at Cavanas, the owners need to know that they have staff that are treating customers beyond rude! There's a lot to be said about the delivery of a message... Met a couple of my girlfriends at Cavanas yesterday afternoon for a meal before we went and helped with an event at our local American Legion. We were seated by an older woman dressed like a cat with long gray-ish hair (who was polite) and we were told that they were not serving food, just drinks, but that there were 3 different appetizers we could get. We looked around at the very full restaurant and every other table had people eating burgers, sandwiches, ect, so we thought it was kind of strange, but figured there must have been some kind of issue and decided that the appetizers would be fine. About that time a little blond girl came up to our table and very rudely asked "DID SOMEONE SEAT YOU HERE?" Like we had snuck in and seated ourselves? We told her yes that the cat lady had and then blondie rudely informed us that we would be served no food, just drinks. We asked about the appetizers and told her that would be fine with us and she seemed super distressed and left...not even 2 minutes went by and a little dark haired girl came rushing up to our table with a huge rude attitude, saying no food until 4:30, that they were only going to do the appetizers for another table that had came in, and that they only had one cook who was on break. We would have had a drink or went and walked around town until 4:30 and then ate, but I refuse to give my hard earned money to people/businesses who treat customers in such a bitchy rude way, so we politely told blondie and the dark haired super bitchy girl that it was ok, that they seemed a little overwhelmed & super busy and that we would just go across the street to the hotel and have our meal. Then they back peddled and started saying that they were going to tell us what appetizers they were going to drop for us, but we just POLITELY repeated ourselves and left. We went across the street to Hotel Sutter and we were treated kindly, we had great service, we had great food & drinks...and they got over $20 in tips because we were very grateful for the experience. THERE IS NO EXCUSE TO EVER TREAT CUSTOMERS IN SUCH A RUDE WAY NO MATTER WHAT THE ISSUE OR THE MESSAGE YOU ARE TRYING TO DELIVER!!! read more

What an awesome little spot! Food is super good. I'm not even a sandwich person but dang! Their poached shrimp appetizer is amazing. HUGE shrimp! The taco soup tasted like the best chili I've ever had. Can't wait to to come back and try some other great options right in the heart of the little town of Sutter Creek. read more
