A Sacramento 4/5! Meaning they have a nice partially covered patio, a wide beer selection, and food that is edible and decent. I think for $14 i would have expected more toppings + meat on the salad, but thats only a minor issue. Service was pretty quick and friendly even when it was busy. read more

Such a cool little spot. Luis always makes such great food. We went during a pretty slow time but still had a great time! The bartender was great too read more

Easily once a week, if not three times we end up here for a beer. The tap selection is wide and varied; ciders, IPAs, lagers, bock, etc. add in the wine taps and non-alcoholic stuff, and I recall seeing some kombucha too. The kitchen's menu standards are all great. The onion rings could be battered instead of breaded but we all need a little room for improvement, right? The specials are where it is at though. Brunch until 2 PM on weekends is a hit in our house. In and outdoor seating both with tv's is ample and friendly folks who frequent Lefty's are ok sharing if things get tight or there is an empty shaded spot at a table. The service is good from the pour to pickup they are always happy you are there and want you have a good time. Dogs and kids are welcome. If you scope out space you can seat a big'ish group 8+ together here. read more

Had this place on our radar for a while and we finally stopped in one day post-camping because we were in the mood for a burger. You order at the counter and it's open seating. We would have normally sat out on the patio but it was realllllly hot that day. The inside is small but sufficient. Ordering at the counter could be a little tough when the crowds are big, but we hit it at a pretty decent time that wasn't too busy. Good beer selection! For food, I ordered the BBQ burger and my BF ordered the Bacon and blue. Both were so good! I really enjoyed BBQ burger sauce...made in-house maybe? It wasn't too sweet and it had a little bit of a kick to it. The onion rings were bomb too. We'd definitely come back! read more

The burgers were good, drinks also good! The fries weren't really hot. I unfortunately ordered the "chef's special" Brisket Elote. The corn was not grilled, the bottom of the cup of corn was watery and there was a single 1 inch cube of brisket in the entire cup of corn. Not at all near worth the 16$ charge. Atmosphere was noisy with lots of kids having fun all over the place- chaotic, but good for families. read more

So we have been here in the past and the food has been good until today. We waited around 30 minutes for our food and when I asked the older guy to check on our order he came back and said they were waiting on the fries. The food comes out 5 minutes later and the fries were warm but not like they just came out of the fryer hot. The salie sando was also was not hot. Bf sent his burger back but at this point I'm too hungry to return mine. When the burger came back the bun was hot and toasted but the patty was not!!! It was l at best. He didn't send it back again but this is the worst experience I've had here. And ten million kids running wild outside so we sat inside but of course they come then come inside. So disappointing. Not coming back for a while if ever. read more

Lefty's has a great atmosphere and wonderful customer service!!! Loads of beer selections and food choices. The Thai Chicken Sandwhich is a fav. Highly recommend this unique spot. read more

Solid selection of beer for reasonable prices. Food was a bit underwhelming though especially for the price.

Trivia night is so fun! Atmosphere and food for sure have us making a trip there any night of the week, regardless of trivia night now. We met amazing families from the neighborhood, cheered for the people at the table next to us who were watching their favorite baseball team win on the outdoor TV. Staff is nice and helpful in answering questions we had on the beer options, there were so many great choices. Looking forward to another fun evening at Leftys soon. read more

Fun family friendly spot with a massive amount of taps and good food. The misters are strong in the summer heat. read more

Best beer selection in town for sure, and the food is very good!! I can't believe it took me 5years to find it!! What's up with the dead Sun Flowers in the front? Best East Sac Taphouse it has it all!! read more

Leftys is a great place to grab a beer and some food. They have burgers that are ground in house. And the price for a burger and fries of that quality is unmatched. The chopped cheese sandwich is spicy and delightful. They have 25 or so beer taps and wine on tap as well. Outstanding rotating selections. They don't always have bbq; usually 1-2x a month, but when they do, the smoked meat is fantastic. Vegetarian options are available too. It can be hot on the patio on a hot summer day, but the misters help a lot. There is space inside to sit as well. read more

So far so good. For the short time I got to be there I had a good time and the owners seem cool. I'll definitely be going back and hopefully get to try some of that barbecue. There's a mechanic across the street that seems good and if you ever need to get your car fixed, it's nice that you could go across the street and hang out while it's getting done. read more

The food is hidden Miss but if you like a hamburger they always have those on the menu and they are either really good or OK ha ha your pic toss a coin... The owner here is the original owner of dad's in Sacramento which everybody remembers he sold all of his businesses and this is what he has went too... here is my only real complaint with this place and I decided today I won't be back for beer because honestly I hate paying absorbent prices for a beer beer prices here are 11.50 for a 16 oz beer, they do offer a 5 oz sz too... NO BEER PRICES ARE LISTED. I would not be surprised if higher octane beers are more . (The beer I had today was 6.5%) The burger today was soggy & Wet full of GREASE AND WRAPPED WITH A BUNCH OF WET TOMATOES so the cheap bun was mush... And the onion rings were cold. I live two minutes away this is probably one of the worst burgers I've had so far but what the hell what's new. turning me off on the food here today and what a waste of money. If you're looking for consistency you won't find it here hopefully who's ever in the kitchen is paying attention enough to actually care. I am old-school I don't believe in breaking the bank on a beer rather buy a six pack and call it good. (which by the way if you are into fancy IPAs you can get a four pack for $16 average price of 16 ounce beers) you determined what the value is to you . Todays over all experience w/ beer & food 1 Beer & 1 hamburger $28.00 w/$2 tip $30 read more

First time here even though I drive by it frequently and it's only a mile from home. Finally went on a Saturday afternoon with my wife and her sister and I am happy we did! The setting is great for a Fall afternoon and as we went in late October it was perfect. The beer selection is great but a little heavy on the IPAs. However, they do also have ciders and sours. What I and my wife greatly appreciated was the wine list was on the beer board so she didn't have to ask what wines they have available. It may be small, but it was nice (if you've ever been to a brewery with a wine drinker you know). The food? Oh yeah, my double basic cheeseburger was pretty freaking delicious! Unfortunately, my wife and her sister split the Thai Spicy Chicken Sandwich and it was small, soggy and cold. We will go back again for certain but she will not be ordering the same chicken sandwich again. The fries, on the other hand, were close to perfect read more

Loving the variety of cold beer to chose from, food is good too, this place is becoming a favorite spot!

First time walking in. I don't get a greet but what I did get was a man that has an attitude that you can tell he doesn't want to be there. While he rolls his eyes when I ask what suggestions he has. I Order the BBQ burger. It was extremely greasy! Fries tasted old. Will not be back! Staff is rude except for the man who was in control of trivia night where he made the customers smile. read more

I have come in a couple of times since the whole pandemic hit and I am so glad they're still open for take out. Their ribs were to die for! Nice fall off the bone good but has a good tender mouth feel - not too mushy. I've always loved their house made BBQ sauce. I could eat this on an old shoe. I decided to go with the veggie burger today. The patty is made with black bean, quinoa, corn.. really tasty and filling!! I loved the brioche bun. One of the sides that stands out for me was the baked sweet potatoes with maple butter. Savory sweet! The tap list is amazing! Bring a growler and they can fill it for you - you can of course still eat on the patio socially distanced. read more

Lefty's has a great beer selection, plenty of seating inside and out, and we have been waiting, what seems like foreverrrr, for their kitchen to reopen. Well, it finally reopened last week and it was worth the wait. The chef is top notch and so is their menu. The only reason they don't get 5 stars is because their outside space is an oven in summer. It's on asphalt surrounded by metal fence and it cooks The misters help, but it's still like being on the surface of the sun out there in the East Sac summer. read more

First time on 10-5-2023. Ive been in Sacramento for 20 years and finally made it there . Had a great time! Me and my buddy went for trivia. Lots of beer on tap. Food was delicious. Especially the brisket chili, i had two cups of it. I'll definitely be back next Thursday to redeem myself in trivia ! read more

So one of those annoying ads popped up on my Facebook for Leftys. It was a picture of a breakfast brisket burrito. It looked so delicious I drove right over to a place I'd never heard of, just down the road a piece and ordered 3 to take home (one for now, one for maybe later if it's that good and one for tomorrow's breakfast). I opened it up and nuked it for 20 second and bit into it and it was every bit as delicious as the photo made it seem. The brisket was delicious, the eggs, potatoes, cheese, everything about it was super good. The menu looked delcious, the staff explained what additional barbeque is offered on what days. They couldn't have been more helpful. On a sunday at 6pm there was about 10-15 people there if not more. All in all from today's experience I thought it was top notch. read more

Great beer selection. And the kitchen puts out quality food. My favorite? The buffalo fries.

The brisket sandwich was one of the best I've had. I think it's only available on Fridays (and maybe Saturday?) Pair that with any of the large number of excellent craft beers and friendly service. Brisket is dry rubbed and lean and not fatty or tough. Just enough smokiness without being overwhelming. Great bun and I had side of beans. Perfect generous portion so I left full. The place is quite festive, having both nice indoor and picnic style outdoor tables. You know its legit when you walk in past the giant smoker. I hear the owner babysits the whole cooking process, so he's vested in his quality! I've had the meatloaf sandwich in the past and it also wowed my taste buds. Next time I'll have to come on Sat to try the ribs! read more

Great neighborhood watering hole! Indoor and outdoor seating with misters for hot afternoons. Service is friendly and conversational. Prices for beer, cider or wine are fair and not through the roof. There is a wide selection of beers to choose from. Not just 12 IPAs and a lager. The food is limited pub fare done right. Good smash burgers, crispy fries and hand dipped onion rings. Lots of tv's indoors and trivia on Thursdays. read more

After being very disappointed with the takeout we had a few days ago my spouse and I came here to see if others had shared similar experiences recently. To echo Yelper Ralph E., we are concerned about the inconsistency of the kitchen. Just a couple of weeks ago we had the bacon and blue burger and the chimichurri steak sandwich and were very impressed. The steak meat was tender, the flavorful hamburger was cooked perfectly and the onion rings were just right. Our recent takeout (similar order) seemed like it was from a different restaurant; the steak meat was chewy and had an off-flavor plus lacked any real chimichurri flavor while the hamburger was dry, flavorless and overcooked. We jokingly told each other to take note of what day of the week we had ordered the subpar food so we could avoid the chef working that day. We will give them another chance but if it disappoints again we will take it as a sign from the gods to make our own food more often. read more

Ode to 12 Rounds Please have bartenders and food prep wear masks, require customers to wear masks till they sit down, refrain from repeating Trump conspiracy theories around customers, and just be respectful of our community. You cannot afford to alienate your community in a time like this. I tried to support this place a couple days ago. They were unwelcoming and clearly making a statement about COVID... or politics... they don't care. read more

The lady grudgingly gave me a taste, I was uncomfortable to ask for another one. i ended up with one that I really didn't like. My fault for not askin! Gave me a pint....wanted the smaller size...didn't really ask. no lime or lemons? at a beer ace? Strannge. Oh well. I will try another taproom and see how it goes... read more

Seems disorganized and bar service is very slow. I didn't end up getting the food I ordered, the other members of my party said the food was good. Beer list is OK. read more

This is an update review from about a month ago. I came here on my birthday for dinner because I was craving the Smoked Mac and cheese. We came around 6pm with to my surprise, was fairly quiet. The ribs were okay but the Mac was sooo disappointing :( it was almost like it was sitting for a few hours and I got the leftovers from the day. read more

Don't pass on the food when you come here! Everything is great - chili, sandwiches, quesadilla, any of the specials. Worth a stop for lunch or dinner - and on top of that they have friendly staff and a great beer selection! read more

We just tried Lefty's for the first time, and it was a home run!!! Their burgers with ground chuck and brisket were flavorful and delicious!! Very mellow atmosphere. A big shout out to Julio for great food and great service!! We will be back!! read more

Good beers on tap. Food is hit and miss. Mostly miss. Not my "go to place". They dont have BBQ all the time.

WOW! My husband and I just picked up some takeout from Lefty's and were absolutely blown away. We both got brisket sandwiches and shared a mac and cheese, baked beans and potato salad. the brisket was tender and delicious, barbecue sauce was perfect, the sides were divine (baked beans were my favorite).... even the pickles were awesome! I would definitely recommend Lefty's to anyone who enjoys barbecue. read more

Excited that Leftys has come to town! Stopped by today for to go order on St. Patty's Day and had a beer while waiting.

As you can see in the picture it came with a healthy serving of turkey. Overall, GREAT tap beer selection, awesome food at great price, will be coming back often. read more

Lefty's Taproom is racist. I gave them my tribal ID when ordering a beer, and the older white man asked "Oh, so you're an Indian huh?" while using his hands to imitate a feather cap. He then asked me questions such as "How many casinos do you own?" and "How much money do you make from them?" VERY racist and harmful comments. Please educate your staff that we are NATIVE AMERICAN and do not imitate our culture/ask stereotypical, racist questions. Boooooo. read more

Great place to eat and drink. Nice people are there and the staff is excellent. Highly recommend.

Been hearing great things about this place! Had to stop by.... didn't disappoint. Food, drinks and ambiance on point! Can't wait to stop by this place on the regular! Keep up the great work!!! read more

What a gem! We're new to the area and this is already our go-to place. Amazing beer selection, tons of outdoor seating, and powerful misters for really hot days. Also, the best burger I've had in a long time! Their kitchen is under construction right now but they've got a small grill setup outside, and honestly it's more than enough. Can't wait to see what they can do with a full kitchen! read more

Beer here is great and very family friendly. I've had the bbq a few times and more recently it was more dry sadly. It may have been that we went earlier. But we will definitely be back for the beer! read more
