Highly recommend!

Also the chef and lady behind the bar were so kind and patient - answering various questions to help one person in our party navigate allergies. Other things to note, you need to order food/drinks at the bar and then they'll bring it to you. Street parking was pretty easy at least during the day. Would not hesitate to come back for a pint and delicious meal.

As the former Prime Minister, Winston Churchill (during WWII) of the United Kingdom would say,…read more"Success is not final, failure is not fatal; it is the courage to continue that counts." With that said, I am a sucker for a good British pub as I've always been a fan of the atmosphere that goes with it; lots of beer choices and of course, British food! This includes fish & chips, bangers & mash, Scotch eggs, Shepherd's pie, and much more. This takes me to the heart of Folsom where I had the chance to check out "Churchill Arms Pub". Located directly on East Bidwell St and in between Glenn Dr/Wales Dr in a very commercialized part of Folsom, this very popular pub has been in operation dating back to mid-2012. Prior to that, it was still a British pub but under a different name, Streets of London. And if you want me to go back even further, this is where a Denny's once stood for many years. During the times I have been here, parking has never been an issue as the primary businesses are a Dollar Tree and a McDonald's. Since it has been a few years, I figured why not give this place a try to relive some old memories. First of all, the interior is fairly dated but that adds to some of the rustic charm of the place. Don't expect shiny or upscale counters as this place has straight bar vibes. Here you will get that aroma of stale beer and a hint of some comfort food traveling through the vents. However, the bar area is quite spacious (with at least a dozen barstools). Additionally, they offer a lot of tables for actual dining as well as a billiards table, a dartboard, arcade machines, and a respectable amount of TV's for watching the games. The layout is quite typical of what you'd see at other sports bars/pubs/restaurants. As I previously mentioned, the menu is quite extensive as they carry a ton of British-inspired dishes. Additionally, they carry a nice variety of burgers, sandwiches, pizzas, soups, salads, appetizers, and kids meals. Beer selection is also quite extensive as is a huge assortment of spirts/hard liquor drinks. Since I had just eaten about an hour prior to arriving here, I was craving a refreshing cold beer. Therefore, I settled with their "Mango Wheat Ale" on tap which was a fairly reasonable $6.75 (as of mid-2026). My bartender was sweet and accommodating as was the vibe I got from the patrons that were enjoying their time there. I will say that my time here was well spent as I had thoroughly enjoyed my beer. However, the ambiance and atmosphere left a lot to be desired. Some of the negatives were several flies swarming throughout the inside of the building as well as it not being very sanitary. Some of the fixtures looked as if they hadn't been cleaned in years so I hope the back kitchen isn't as bad as the main area where customers sit. All in all, I would recommend coming here for the drinks but as for the cleanliness, the food might be a hit or miss. With that said and done, I am giving "Churchill Arms Pub" just an average three-star rating.

Through another Yelpers recommendation, I decided to drag my cousin out to this establishment for…read morethe first time. This was actually the first time I visited the entire downtown Roseville area, and I was pleasantly surprised there was a parking garage since all the parking spots in front of the establishment were occupied. We arrived around 1:30PM and observed a fair amount of patrons on a Monday. We were immediately greeted and seated. Loved the decor. After a few minutes mulling over what to get, I ended up getting the French Dip with duck fat fries. I also tried their Divinity Stout. Wow. The food - Amazing! Really enjoyed the French Dip - well sized portion and ended up having leftovers that I was able to enjoy a few hours later ha! The Stout (Divinity) - I need to go back and buy some bottles to go. So good! I'll definitely be back. The one minor gripe was I observed was there weren't any TV's at the bar (from what I can see anyway). I would have loved to head over here as I am writing this review to watch the NBA finals. All good!

I remembered I had once gone to monks cellar with friends and had a great French dip and beers so I thought I'd give it a try it again. I came in and the place was quiet I sat down at the bar and asked if it was OK. The host even came over and gave me a food menu. I was ready to order within seconds of arriving. However! The bartender decided to not talk to me for 15 minutes at least. I watched him slowly make somebody else's drink, leave the bar and just go chitchat with people that were already there drinking beer and having food and then disappearing into the kitchen. So rude. I will not be giving my money back to this place monk cellar again. I truly hope people read this review.

After a friend introduced me to their menu, I started occasionally getting a craving for their corned beef tacos. You have to add bacon and jalapeños, though! Today, during my tattoo session, we took a lunch break and I came over to the Boxing Donkey. I've been wanting to try their version of fish & chips ever since my daughter ordered them years ago. Plus, I needed something not quite as filling as my beloved corned beef tacos. So, I ordered the fish & chips and their Donkey Pretzel Balls with homemade mustard aioli. While I waited, I went with a hazy beer that I can't remember the name of because it wasn't my usual go-to. The Donkey Pretzel Balls arrived first. I was looking forward to dipping those soft pretzel balls into their mustard aioli... but unfortunately, I wasn't a fan. There was something about the pretzels themselves that tasted a little burnt to me. Kendall, the bartender, offered to remake them. She mentioned that's just how they taste, but offered to bake them a little less to see if that would tone it down. Unfortunately, I still picked up that same flavor. The fish & chips, on the other hand, were fantastic! Crispy batter, juicy cod... and the batter was seasoned perfectly. I loved the sprinkle of sea salt and dill on top of the fish, and it came loaded with tons of their hand-cut Donkey fries. At that point, I decided to leave the pretzel balls alone and focus on my fish & chips. Over the years, I've tried a few things from their menu, and I highly recommend the fish & chips and, of course, the corned beef tacos. I personally wouldn't order the Donkey Pretzel Balls again, although that homemade mustard aioli was delicious. They just had a flavor that wasn't for me.

I was tasked with finding a location in the Rocklin area to host a memorial gathering. Since I…read moredon't live nearby, I turned to Yelp and started calling places close to the mortuary where our family would be gathering. Pain Killers was the third place on my list. My first call went unanswered, and there wasn't an answering service. On my second call, I was able to leave a voicemail. When I called Pain Killers, a kind woman answered within two rings. I explained that I was looking for a venue to host a memorial gathering. She let me know that the person who could best assist me wasn't available but offered to take my number and have them return my call. Within 30 minutes, Austin called me back. We discussed what we were looking for, and as you can imagine, it's not an easy conversation to have with someone you've never met. From the very beginning, Austin's kindness and compassion stood out. His exact words were, "We want to be here for you during this difficult time." Those weren't just words--I could genuinely feel his sincerity, not only during that phone call but in every text message we exchanged over the following week. Each time I reached out, I'd say, "Ok, Austin, last question," only to think of another one shortly afterward. No matter how many times I contacted him, he remained patient, understanding, and accommodating. He answered every question, responded promptly, and never once made me feel like I was asking too much. In the end, it was decided to keep the entire day's gathering at a church rather than the mortuary, so we didn't end up going to Pain Killers. Even so, I wanted to recognize Austin for the exceptional level of customer service and genuine compassion he showed during one of the most difficult times. The next time I'm in the Rocklin area, I plan to stop by, say hello to Austin, and make sure to give Pain Killers some well-deserved business. Thank you, Austin, for reminding me that kindness and empathy still go a long way.

I do hope you recently cleaned the patio since I did visit a few weeks ago. I wish you the best of luck. Just a tip on future responses to reviews. You always seem to have an "answer" . Sometimes you just need to chalk it up to a bad day, experience, or something to grow from. You show a pattern which comes off as disingenuous. Anybody who reads your other responses will see its deflection. Sometimes a "Thanks for your review, we identified a few items to learn from and hopefully a future chance at your business will be better". Service was horrible. Sunday afternoon around 4 pm. 1 bartender, 1 patron at bar, 2 establishment based folks "meeting" at a high top in the bar area. Bartender literally told me after we received our drinks that "if she got bored, she would come check on us in the patio" as she moved over to eat her salad (at the bar) and chat with the 1 patron. The patio is filthy. Please pressure wash the outside and maybe wash the furniture covers outside. I mean it gives off the grunge downtown or extremely busy college bar scene but in Rocklin, Ca which is about as grunge as the Hamptons. The menu has lined out times, rather than update the paper document. Food looked standard pub fair, nothing flashy, but didn't have the quality of the old Mac and cheeses Bone Shakers use to provide. Decor is pretty much Bone Shakers, no real heart or specialization, beyond adding the grunge feel. I ordered a specialty fry with my first drink. As I was wrapping up my 3rd drink, I cancelled the order, and proceeded to close out. One of the establishment "gentleman" let me know the food was coming out. I said "at this point, No Thank You". They did offer the food to me at no charge 5 minutes later as I finished my drink outside. It weighed about 10 lbs and was not appetizing looking. You can be the judge. I came here for a little nostalgia and to see how the place had grown since I had been there some years ago. I can check it off my follow up list.
