    Quesadilla- huarache- burrito (not monster menu) michelada!!! This girl is happy!!!

    Food was absolutely amazing!!!! Huge portions off the monster menu! We live a bit far but will be back for sure when able.

    Friendly staff and food came out quickly, which we took to go. It was a Sunday evening and they had karaoke going. Food was good, just needed a bit more salt all around, especially the rice and beans. Large portions.

    It was delicious. There was plenty of shrimp in my cóctel which was nice. I follow Lent so will have to come again to try other items that looked really good. The staff were all very friendly and on top of what we needed. Also there was great music playing and karaoke too.

    My friend and I had an impromptu dinner and he said we should go to Jacky's. I had not yet been so…read moreI was looking forward to it. I knew I wanted a burrito so I would have lunch tomorrow. I ordered the super burrito with carnitas. My friend ordered the loaded nachos. Granted we were the next to last customers, so they were definitely ready to go home. But they were still super friendly! I received my burrito and it had cheese (which I had asked to NOT have) and sour cream on the side (which I had also asked to have). I just let the cheese-thing go since I didn't want them to have to remake the burrito. After I asked the server, she brought out a ramekin of sour cream. The nachos looked good and he ate all of them so that was good. The chips are always nice to have but these chips weren't anything to write home about. They've done a great job decorating. It feels very welcoming and colorful. Like I said we got there at 7:15 and they closed at 8, so next time I'll go in earlier.

I also got the watermelon margarita and that was great too! I have to say my favorite is the chimichanga if I had to choose. The sals and avocado is good too. They ambience is cute with lots of day of the dead pictures and the staff is always so friendly and welcoming. Service is great too! Definitely check this place out!

    Food was pretty great. We came in early for dinner and late for happy hour but HH goes on until…read more10pm here now. Service was decent but they were decidedly busier than they've been in the past. Ambiance felt like we were at...Cattlemen's. More of a sit down and enjoy yourself thing that Buckhorn with an older wooden feel to it. For kicks I started off with a Howdy Beer. Not sure who makes it, how epic it is or is not, nor any subtle notes of anything. It's a $4 can and it came with a nice cold glass. Potato skins, filled with the usual not-healthy-but-delicious goodness of bacon, cheese and green onions were perfect to start out. My Rodeo Burger was just as you'd expect from a steakhouse- wonderful beefy flavor with a rougher (larger?) texture than usual. So not like your average burger. Came with fried onions and sautéed mushrooms but we ordered a different burger (classic) so I put those onions on as well. Swiss cheese and peppercorn sauce made a great bite. Came with a load of fries and we subbed a salad for one of the orders. Didn't have any of the Raspberry Lemon Drop but heard no complaints about it either. They provided us with a supplementary gluten free menu so that was helpful. It's the place right off the freeway when heading to Sac/Tahoe from the bay and it's worth a stop. Dixon High School puts out a coupon book/card each year for a fee. This year the card costs $40 I believe so sure, throw in a bit for the Rams' seasons. Attached to the card came a cardboard ad/coupon page and there were two offers for $10 off of a $50 Cattlemen's purchase. So we used one of those. (Still have one more! Have to be sure to use it in the next 11 months) Left full with TONS of food to take home for a grand total of $49.93. They let it slide so a decent tip was left for our server.

    We had dinner at Cattlemen's in Dixon last night\. The food was good, but unfortunately the service…read morewas extremely slow\. We waited about **30 minutes before our waitress even took our order**, and then **another full hour for the food to arrive**--and our order was just **one cheeseburger and one beef kebab skewer**\. The food itself was good, but waiting approximately **90 minutes from being seated to receiving such a simple order is unacceptable**\.

    This review is a little long overdue. I visited on a quiet Wednesday night, and I was honestly…read moresurprised by how empty the restaurant was. I mean it may have been one other couple in the restaurant. The price point of the food seems to match the quality, and overall, I thought the food was decent. Our waiter was very kind and provided good service. They did make a mistake with my order. I ordered Dungeness crab but received snow crab legs instead. They did remake the order, which I appreciated. Where I think they could really improve is the drinks. Unfortunately, the margarita I ordered was TRASH, and I definitely wouldn't order another one. I also think adding more specials or promotions could help bring in more customers, especially on slower nights. I'd be willing to give them another try because there were some positives, but there are definitely a few areas that could use some improvement.

    We had a great experience at Cajun Crack'n! The food was delicious and the prices were honestly…read morepretty good for how much food you get. We ordered Combo 1, which was around $60, and there was SO much food that we had plenty of leftovers. Definitely enough to feed more than two people! The vibes of the restaurant were really cool too. The scenery and decor give you that fisherman's boat / out-on-the-sea kind of feeling, which makes the whole experience fun and relaxing. The service was also great. I didn't catch our waitress's name, but she was super sweet, attentive, and made us feel welcomed. One downside was the beer. We ordered beers during happy hour for $4.50, which was a great price, but the draft beer tasted a little off to me. It had a tart, almost sour taste that I wasn't expecting, and unfortunately I wasn't pleased with it. Overall, though, the food, portions, prices, atmosphere, and service were all great. I'd definitely come back for the food I'd just probably skip the draft beer next time!

    Staff: 5/5 Food: 4.5/5…read moreAmbience: 3.5/5 ***Intangibles: 10/10*** Decided to break this review down into four parts because I feel each one needs to be addressed as to why I give this establishment 5 Stars. I've been here twice now, and feel this is an honest assessment of what to expect Staff: Extremely courteous and helpful. I've felt welcomed from the very first instance I've come through the door. Food: On both occasions I've had the Fried Chicken and Fried Catfish, along with some French Fries. While I think the Fried Chicken is good, it just doesn't hit me the way I would like. While it is cooked perfectly inside and out, it just lacks something for me. The Fried Catfish on the other hand, is on point. Cooked perfectly again and just wonderful flavor and seasoning. Fries are right up there, too. I haven't tried anything else at this point, but I imagine that there are probably no real disappointments from here. I'm a big boy and portions are more than enough. Ambience: I had to mark this down a bit. While it is not bad, it's nothing special either. Tables and chairs, and a few decorations and TVs. The place is extremely clean which is something you can never take for granted. Intangibles: The Owner...This guy is full of energy and just puts out a real positive vibe. He knows customers by name, and just seeing the repeat customers tells me the place is good. After both visits my interactions with him just leave me feeling good, which is something that's hard to find these days. Definitely a spot that's on my consistent "go to" list now.

We had the short ribs as Chef's special and it was delicious and tender. You don't need a steak knife. We also got the Jambalaya pasta and the spice is just about right! Plenty protein in that plate. I'd say - there was even amount of pasta and protein so I would say it was worth your money. I like the place being casual and cozy. The idea of separating the bar from the dining area is good. Was nice that there is outdoor seating as well. Small city parking may be a challenge when it gets busy but who doesn't like to walk a little after hearty meal, huh? This would be nice place to bring good friends for a nice dinner or just a quick catch up afternoon liquid refreshments. They also have 4 tv at the bar area. Must be great during sports watching!

    Brandi!! Waitress!!! ... or lack there of, kicked us out of the restaurant following us outside…read moreYELLING at us in the street "don't come back". We were great customers eating there twice a week. She should be fired, but she won't because the manager didn't give a crap. We now go to Cattlemens, Dawson's or Jacky's which is a block away. Full bar and excellent customer service. They serve American food as well. You know, we asked for the manager and she was said to be too busy and it would take a couple days to get a call back. Well, that never happened. Food is not very good, always over cooked. Waiters other than Brandi are great. So manager doesn't manage! Either doesn't care or doesn't have time for the customer. She followed us out the door yelling don't come back. Enough said! The food has fallen way down. Way down!!!! 1 star at best. Everything is over cooked. Yet, we kept going because of the atmosphere and service. Brandi killed that. Have you ever been told you complain too much, get out and don't come back. What a great example. We were on name basis with the waiters. That's why we kept coming. It wasn't the food. Let me be clear, the rest of the staff were amazing. Have you ever been barred by a waitress. She was mean and vindictive. This place is on a downward spiral. Find another place. If I could give less than a star, I would. Thanks, Brandi. We found new places.

It was early, around 4:00 p.m., and there were only two people dining inside. They agreed and eventually placed two tables together indoors. My thought was, why was this not offered from the beginning, especially given the heat and how empty the restaurant was? The ambiance was great, but unfortunately, the food was not. I ordered a salad with chicken. The salad was very skimpy, with only two thin slices of apple, two small orange slices, very little feta, and mostly lettuce. The chicken portion was extremely small and was served separately on a plate rather than sliced and placed on the salad as ordered. The other dishes were also small and underwhelming. The burger and fries were nothing special, and the spaghetti was plain and lacked flavor. If you are looking for great ambiance, this may be a nice place to visit. But if you are looking for great food, you may want to consider other options. For a great burger, I would recommend Buckhorn instead. It costs less and is much better.
