Besides being a great bar it also caters to families. The server here was excellent. She was genuinely very friendly, had great suggestions, and checked in on us just the right amount of times through the dinner. My wife and I shared a few dishes. The nachos here were different, but really fun and flavorful. They use kettle chips and put a kitchen sink of toppings on it. It's creamy, spicy, and the meat on it is very tender. My wife loved the Berry salad, and I also enjoyed the Bahn Mi Tacos. The Bahn Mi tacos had a Korean style pork on them that was very tender and juicy. The slaw on the side added a good crunch. My daughter had a kids cheese pizza and a hot dog. She was very happy!

Plus they have an outdoor patio. My favorite menu items are the salads and burgers. The salad options are not boring. Fresh and flavorful. Burgers are fat and juicy. My fave go to is the steak & arugula salad. But on my last visit I tried their chicken wings and sushi. Yup, I know that's an odd pairing. But that's what I wanted. Then you're probably wondering... say what, sushi at a tap house?! Well the addition of sushi is new. The menu had lots of different kinds of rolls and sashimi cuts. I went for it and ordered the Wave Rider roll. The roll was delicious and substantial size. Great flavors. Beautiful plated presentation. I luved the little flower that was on the plate. The roll rivals that of local sushi places.

And used to also be because of the food. Sadly, the food is no longer an option. We have watched it decline heavily over the last couple of years. Especially in the last year. Breakfast as been a disappointment. The menu has shrunk significantly to the point we were even told that asking for our eggs scrambled was not possible. Strange. We ended our journey with their food options last night with a $45 NY Steak. It was tough to say the least. The baked potato was hard as a rock and the vegetable medly that was beneath it all was well, weird. Those that were with us also had a bad experience with the bistro steak and shrimp tacos. Steak was severely under cooked for the medium rare option that was asked for. The tacos were bizarre. Tortillas were ice cold and the shrimp tasted spoiled and off. Reds used to be our go to place for good food with what we though used to be fresh options. Now it would seem this is just another Sysco delivered pre made chain food option with cooks that just dont seem to cut it anymore. We will still continue to patronize Reds, but will no longer spend money on the food and after the experience last night, it would appear the other 5 people at our table feel the same. We hope they get it back together. It used to be great.

We were headed to a place I was familiar with and while going down Main Street saw Burning Barrel. I quickly hoped on their website and rattled off a few items and we pulled into the closest parking lot and made our way over. The restaurant was empty of guests and the young man at the counter was welcoming, asking if this was our first visit, and showed us the food and drink menu and the board of current craft beers. I chose the Longhorn (tri tip) sandwich and fries and a Lillikoi Mai Tai, and the spouse chose the Pastrami Sandwich and a beer called Dank. They do not do table service so after ordering we grabbed a seat. This is a pretty large open space with an outdoor patio, several roll up doors and misters at the outside. Shortly after sitting down a server came over with our meals. I started with a french fry, and I have to say these are the best french fries I have ever had, in my life time. I don't know if its the way they cut the fries, the way they are seasoned, what they are fried in or all of the above, but they were delicious! Our sandwiches were outstanding! Both were incredibly flavorful and filling, and even after I was full I continued eating because everything tasted SO GOOD. The drinks were excellent too, so good that we ordered a second round. The young man at the counter also made my mai tai and did an excellent job. About halfway into our meal other guests started to arrive and by the time we left there were at least 4-5 parties of guests in the restaurant. I will absolutely return, and highly recommend Burning Barrel. I was also pleased to see that they have a Rancho Cordova location, which is a little closer to my home in the Valley. Thank you Burning Barrel for the excellent food, drinks and customer service! You made our great day even better!

As for food: the fries are cooked perfectly, and the pretzel, is a good pretzel. The cheese sauce is trash. It is so bland and even grainy, there was no point consuming it. The mustard was much better. Now the important part for safety: All the napkins and utensils are inside. They bring the food to your table but you are expected to get those other things. I was here alone and did not plan ahead. I did not feel safe leaving my drink and food alone outside, so I could go inside to get a napkin. So I will probably try this place again but there are some issues.

We ordered the Ahi Lettuce wraps, and the fried green tomatoes. The ahi was good, but it came with with a bunch of fresh and pickled vegetables that threw us off at first as we were expecting more of a thai style lettuce wrap. The one thing I really want to highlight here in my review is the five star service we received from our server Jazze. She is really attentive and direct but not in a brash way. One of the people in our party was having a hard time choosing between two beers and Jazze went out of her way to provide two samples so that our friend could make up her mind. Jazze also was very quick to refill our drinks, check in with us on ordering and how our food was, as well as ensured we felt acknowledged and welcomed. I would come back only for her. Only issue I experienced was getting stuck in the bathroom as the smaller of the two stalls in the bathroom has a door that swings outward in the same direction of the bathroom door so you can't open both at once and also if you close the door to the bathroom all the way you may need to use some elbow grease to open it from the inside
