    Drinks sitting outside on a nice day
    Dana H.

    Nice historic hotel to have drinks and bites. They have indoor and outdoor seating. They take credit cards and American Express.

    I've been here a few times now usually after having already been to Scarlets/Powerhouse across the street and wanting to continue the night. The experience you'll get is truly up to so many factors. The times my friends and I have came have been on Friday/Saturday nights and the place is packed. It's a $20 cover to get in, they do have an ATM machine you can use. It's packed both inside and outside, you'll wait 15 mins to use the bathroom and will have people hanging on the door for you to get out the whole time, and it'll be hot inside! This isn't a bad bar, it's divey and feels like it's for college kids and middle aged couples. The music has been ok, but if you can find an area to hang out with your friends in the back I'd suggest that! This definitely seems like the place to go with friends if you want to drink and socialize the night away. Haven't tried any of the food, the drinks are fine.

    I came here first because of the architecture, came back because a favorite musical artist was playing here. This place like maybe holds 100 people, maybe?! We met the artist, interacted with him because we were 6 feet from the stage. We ate dinner here and it was really good. I had the naked wings and had blue cheese dressing and a small salad, boyfriend had a burger. The bar looked like fun. I highly recommend this place. Shout out to Jake who was really helpful and friendly!

    A friend recommended this establishment and we had an exceptional experience. Great food, great drinks and great service. Recommended to all.

    Menu and a glass of Margarita

    We read that the smash burgers here were delicious so we popped in for lunch and my 35 year old son said it was the best tasting burger he has ever eaten! A new restaurant owner and chef has taken over and is now making this historic hotel's new menu filled with delicious smoked goodness and breakfast choices 7 days a week. The bar area is the authentic saloon style with a great selection of spirits- I had the best margarita on the rocks, that I've had in years! They have live music on weekends and a backyard style patio for dining as weather permits. Friendly and great service. This is a "must go to" in this beautiful old town of Folsom on Sutter. And a free parking lot close by. We're definitely looking forward to coming back soon.

    Good food. Bartender was really nice and attentive. Came in during the day on a Wednesday so it was quiet. Great location but parking can be an issue. Highly recommend...

    Love this place but they should change the hours; usually closed early this time of year(like before 9)!

    Closing early always and at discretion of bar tenders that aren't trying to work!!!!! (Before 8:30)

    We just came for an after farmers market cocktail and some live music. The guitarist played popular songs that you could sing along to. Drink prices are reasonable. It's self seating. Normally I sit at the bar but there were 3 of us so we grabbed a table. They have a nice patio and allow dogs. Burgers looked good but we didn't eat.

    Tried to get the look of the bar without intruding on the other patrons

    I'm still thinking about this burger.... Dre's BBQ Backyard…read moreBurger 10/10!!! Damn, it was pretty fire. I got the bacon on the side for my doggie because I don't eat pork, but it comes with tomato, fried onion straws, lettuce, and pickle. You have the choice between fries, tater tots, onion rings or a salad. Not pictured- the amazing seared ahi tuna salad 10/10 ask for a side of extra dressing. The portion is huge and price is totally worth it as they give you a healthy portion of ahi tuna. I mean this place does not disappoint with the sides or carb options for you burgers. I overheard someone next to me say how amazing the onion rings are and how they often fill themselves up too much on them before their regular meal. I chose sweet potato fries because this is always a better choice. I appreciate the sea salt grinder at the table along with having ketchup, mustard, and hot sauce all tables and ready for me. I really think it's a little annoying when restaurants don't have condiments or salt & pepper shakers out at the table and you have to bother the waiter with yet another request. This burger was cheesy and had all the necessary toppings plus really bomb bbq sauce on it. I added a little sea salt to the sweet potato fries and they tasted perfect. They have new and rotating beers and ciders and so I tried the apricot which was really good- nice that they let you taste before ordering as well. Service was great, everyone was nice and friendly and smiled, and I love the boots, jeans, and western feel of the place. As a dog lover I'm obsessed with alll the doggy pictures there. It made me smile and feel right at home. Can't wait to return when I'm in the area! Thanks for delicious food and great service!

We decided to try friends. When we walked in, it was completely empty. One table inside had two people seated and one table outside had two people there. We sat on patio, it is quiet and nice to feel like you are in the woods with trees and foliage all around.. Nice and peaceful. The tables looked like the "old" Benihana type of tables with the grill pan in the middle. They looked dirty but it I think they are just dated. Not a problem for us as we tend to like "hole in the wall" type places and that is the vibe this place gives. Our waitress was nice just seemed shy. Music genre was oldies. We ordered a jalapeño burger and the grilled chicken club sandwich. The jalapeño burger was supposed to be 1/2 lb Angus beef. It did have good flavor and cooked right, but it was a very small burger. Hubby felt that it couldn't be 1/2lb. For the price it was just too small. $18. The grilled chicken avacado club sandwich had one slice of bacon on it, not a deal breaker but the chicken wasn't grilled. Not sure how it was cooked, but not on a grill. It had a lot of seasoning on it and yet the sandwich was underwhelming. The produce seemed like it was yesterday's produce. The fries were also just ok. Didn't seem like there was any salt. They did sprinkle some chopped cilantro on top which looked nice. Overall we did enjoy the patio and peacefulness of our lunch there, and we do hope to see some improvements in quality and maybe better portion sizes for the cost. We will give it a shot another time, maybe dinner time when they are a little busier.

The bread crust had garlic baked onto it, and the dipping sauce was huge and flavorful. The Southwestern salad exceeded my expectations. It was huge! The chicken was grilled and blackened and cooked to perfection and served on a bed of fresh lettuce with black beans, chopped onions, and blue cheese with a spicy dressing that was fantastic. The dish was so good that I'm tempted to go back tomorrow night. If you're looking for a casual dining spot with a friendly local vibe and amazing food, Manderes fits the bill!

If it wasn't for this "mission," there's a good chance I wouldn't have wandered in. I LOVE Sutter Street, but honestly I don't live nearby and don't have many reasons to come here. That said, I'm thankful for the mission and glad I dropped by. It's a super cute place and the bartender had a nice relaxed chill vibe to her. This is where I'd normally drop her name and give her kudos - but I didn't get her name. I thought her name would be on the receipt, but it wasn't! I assume her name isn't "Shift Night N" anyway, which would be weird - but that's what is listed for "server". Anyway... the burger... I liked it. I liked it a lot. I was not asked how I wanted it cooked (not expected or demanded by me) - but an observation that I toss in for comparison purposes. It was cooked to a solid medium, which is fine with me. Caramelized onions were standard - nice - but the tomato and lettuce were listed as 'optional' - and the bartender (Shift Night N) asked me if I wanted them. I opted in. The bun was above average - definitely a notch above the typical mass-produced buns often used elsewhere. I opted for sweet potato fries. They had good flavor. Personal preference-wise... I would have liked them to be cooked a smidge more. If/when I come back, I'll probably ask them to be crispy-er. Overall, thumbs up! I wouldn't hesitate to come back and try other things on the menu. #burgers

They apparently have a Speak Easy as well which we unfortunately didn't get to experience.

The owner is an incredibly kind, genuine man from Atlanta who brought authentic Southern barbecue to Folsom, and it shows in every bite. This isn't just another barbecue restaurant; it's the real deal. The beef ribs are my absolute favorite. They're perfectly smoked, incredibly tender, and packed with flavor. Honestly, I've tried just about everything on the menu, and I have yet to find anything that wasn't amazing. Belly Barbecue is in a league of its own, and there's simply nothing else like it anywhere around here. The only downside to Belly Barbecue being so amazing, they run out of food!

The pork ribs had great flavor with perfect tenderness and just the right amount of bite. The brisket was the star of the meal. It had an excellent bark and reminded me of some of the best brisket I've had in Texas: simple salt and pepper seasoning done right. I also got my wife a beef rib and a side of collard greens to go. The customer service was outstanding. Everyone was friendly, accommodating, and made the experience even better. I'll definitely be back. I also liked how the owner stayed in the front and engaged with every customer. Definitely a family feel coming here.
