I love Manderes! Although I was born in Folsom, and grew up in the area, I have only been to this restaurant twice. Today, my grandma took me here for a late birthday lunch. I ordered the chimay chicken bowl, and got the broccoli cheddar soup (which I strongly suggest you try...paired with the bread they serve, is phenomenal) -- both were terrific. For dessert, we ordered the lemon berry mascarpone cake w/ ice cream. Their desserts are portioned big, so you can easily share a dessert with a 2-3 people. Our waitress was super sweet and helpful, too! If you haven't tried this restaurant, you're missing out. Carson C. East Sacramento, CA read more

This place is very consistent. I have been there twice and the food and customer service is outstanding! This visit, I had a 116 oz. steak (kidding about the size) but is was HUGE! I happily ate every bite. These folks really "get it" Great food and wonderful customer service. I HIGHLY recommend this location. 5 stars fir sure read more

Very small and cramped dining room. Food was good, but very small servings and prices were high. There are much better restaurants in Folsom. Won't ever go back. read more

Just had another fantastic meal here! This has been one of our favorite restaurants for years & they never disappoint! They have tables set up outside under a tent for alfresco dining & the service was impeccable, as usual. The draft beer selection is always spot on & wine suggestions have not disappointed. Our table shared the onion rings and calamari apps. They were both crispy and tasty. We also had the ribs & steak and risotto and have never been disappointed! This local restaurant always has wonderful food & service & they are maintaining that high quality in these trying times. read more

It 4.5 stars for a reason. Because so so many of us rate it at 5 stars. Great service and delicious food. And, Save. Room. For. Desert. Love this place. read more

Great beer selection. Food is consistently good. Service is great. Sports on TV. Owner is excellent.

I've eaten most everything on the menu, but I really love great chili. We have been involved in a lot of chili cook-off a, but I have never tasted chili that is as good as Manderes chili. It rocks! read more

They have a lot of regulars that come here. It was obvious the moment we walked in and everyone at the bar, including customers, greeted us. Everyone, specially bartender/owner, was very friendly. I would visit more if it was closer. read more

Manderes - Bars Near Me - Folsom, California

Really good spot for lunch. I typically have the Bulgogi Hoagie and the Mango Coleslaw which is delicious. It has a very friendly vibe, with a group of locals that continue to come back. It's definitely one of the best choices in Folsom, really solid choice. read more

This is a wonderful casual place with friendly wait staff and good food. After reading the reviews, my expectations were set pretty high. The vibe was somewhat subdued for a Saturday night, even with all the tables full throughout the night. It was an older crowd and there appeared to be a lot of regular (repeat) customers. There were only a few tables with young families, and I didn't see any younger couples on a date. Decor was basic, bordering on dated, with big screen t.v.s behind the bar. Selection of wines and beer were limited, and only one choice of cider. Wines by the glass were a bit pricey. The regular menu is the same for lunch and dinner. There's an additional menu with a list of dinner specials. Then, the server recited several more entrees not on any menu (specials for the day). Beware that the sandwiches (except the burger) are not available after 4pm, and some entrées aren't available before 4pm. Our server was very kind and patient when redirecting us on the regular menu and while repeating the daily specials. We ordered the shrimp and scallops, the rib eye, and the Korean BBQ (bulgogi). Everything was delicious. The bulgogi was a bit dry and salty for my taste but I enjoyed bites of it with a big scoop of rice. For dessert, we tried to order the wine and chocolate pairing, only to find out that they ran out of chocolates. We ended up sharing the fried cheesecake with vanilla bean ice cream. The fried dough on the cheesecake was reminiscent of churros while the cheesecake itself was meh. Ice cream was very tasty. Overall a wonderful and leisurely experience, with a few mishaps on the menu offerings. We'll be back for lunch to try the pastrami sandwich, and we're looking forward to more rib eye dinners. read more

This is a come a couple of times a month type place. My goodness this meal was Awesome! Culinary crack!! Service was, absolutely wonderful, friendly and knowledgeable! (Angie, we will be asking for your table) We will be back a lot. Every table's plates look incredible. Can't wait to come back. read more

Always a great experience, great food, great beer, and great atmosphere. I definitely recommend it!

Two years ago I stopped here before a foot race. I got a steak salad (I don't eat much steak). It was amazing. Large medallions aside a beautiful Caesar salad. I told several people "there is this place... I don't remember the name." 2 years later, I am in Folsom, I drove up and down this street three times and finally caught a glimpse of it. When I sat down, I realized it was the same place recommended to me by a foodie. They have wonderful beers. The food is fabulous. Stacy was my bar tender this last time. She was great. The steak salad is still as tasty as I remember it, this time around there is a red wine vinegar dressing. I also heard the crab cakes are great, and next on my list along with salmon risotto. If you want a good place to go: this is it! read more

I love there food and the owner is always super cool to me and my family. I've eaten almost every dish that they serve and my favorite is the chimay chicken. read more

You have to love a place where the focus is on the food. The bar area only serves beer and wine. The food is simply delicious. Well thought out menu, and executed to please the palate. Customer service is always emphasized by the hands on owner who can be seen throughout the day making sure customers are happy with their experience. read more

This is actually one of the few things holding me back from moving away from the Sacramento greater area. They have a binder listing their myriad of beers. All the micro brew you hopps-happy kiddos can ask for. But the most notable thing for me is the chicken wings. Its sweet, spicy, and smokey. Its like an in-between of texas bbq and wing sauce, difficult to describe. Hook me up with a Palo Santo and a plate of these bad-boys and I keep my sanity for the week. read more

The food here and service is fantastic. The baby back ribs were perfect. Moist, fall off the bone tender meat. A full rack was 14 bones. Also had the steak kabob and shrimp with rice. The staff are friendly and attentive. Definitely fantastic place. read more

Really yummy salads! I've had their steak salad for lunch multiple times and am never disappointed. Great fries as well. I will be back soon for the cocktails! read more

I love this place for the beer and the food. There are so many beer choices and new ones are added frequently. I have always ordered the Bulgogi because it's so fantastic that I can't bring myself to order anything else. My friends rave about their food too. The down sides are that the bathroom is outside and it's a small place. You have to make reservations or you may be waiting awhile for a table. read more

I'm happy that this restaurant is still open for business. We've tried several dishes, lunches and dinner combinations, and they're always great tasting and ready to go - we have to call in and pick-up. The staff is always very kind and appreciates our return visits. read more

Best food in town! Food is great, service is amazing; always a great dinner and night out when at Manderes!

We came here for lunch and they have a great selection of food. We ordered the fried chicken wings and crab cakes. Both were excellent and they come in big portions. It was tasty and delicious. The wings were cooked perfectly and they give you about 12 which is plenty. The crab cakes were crispy on the outside and perfectly cooked on the inside. Brett who runs the place is very nice and accommodating. Amanda the bartender was friendly and attentive. We will be back! read more

Located in a plaza on E. Bidwell and Blue Ravine. Beer and wine-- They have a great selection of microbrews on tap. The food was okay. All of the plates were sprinkled with chopped parsley, too. I don't think that's necessary.. Don't bother with the onion rings.. The fries are where it's at. Double fried and they serve it with their 'cusabi' sauce and it's one of those sauces that can easily go on anything. Other than that-- Shrimp Cocktail was okay, burger was overcooked, Bulgogi Hoagie was boring-- meat and bread. Beer and fries were the clear winners.. Staff was really nice and I would come back and try other things just not ASAP. read more

I've been here to eat almost a handful of times and really enjoy this place. The owner and staff are very friendly and the vibe is nice. While the place looks small from the outside they can accommodate groups up to 6-8 comfortably and as small as 1 or 2. I love the variety in their menu and the freshness of their food, and pricing is on point too! I am only giving this place 4-stars because I find their food tends to be on the saltier side BUT when I've gone with others I'm the only one that has this complaint so it could just be my palette. Definitely worth a try! read more

Food was amazing (esp the risotto and the bulgogi) and it came in a reasonable amount if time, however, their service could use improvement. Had to flag down staff several times to get order in and to get the bill. They also did not check in on us. There were only 3 other parties besides us. read more

This place is awesome! The service was excellent and the food was even better. It's a nice little bar and dine in place. My boyfriend and I were able to enjoy a nice dinner as well as watch the Kings game. I had the steak Alfredo pasta. Highly recommend. I got my steak medium-well however it was a little dry so I recommend getting medium if you are like me and like your meat more cooked. read more

Excellent food menu and the beers are absolutely top-notch. Moved to Roseville last year so the drive over to Mandares is a little intimidating(running the gauntlet of Folsom PD) but I will wholeheartedly endorse this bar. Besides, how can a place be bad when its owned by a fellow Fort Waynee?? read more

Date night out doesn't mean I want to sweat and be uncomfortable. Was seated and within moments I was heating up, as the thermostat was set at 86*. Grabbed our personal belongings and off to somewhere that is much more comfortable, especially during the current heat wave. We can't enjoy a meal if we are sweating! read more

Always great food and great service my favorite is the steak salad and the Chicken and cheese ravioli is great too

Wonderful service and amazing food! We started with the bruschetta and it was honestly some of the best I have had! The main courses to follow did not disappoint either! If you have a sweet tooth I highly recommend the Xango dessert, truly is heaven on a plate. Will be returning for sure! read more

I've been coming here for years. This use to be a great place. Recently, they have been cutting back on the food. A little less has finally hit here. Steak Sandwich especially. Sad. read more

Eaten here lots of times before, but tonight was a disappointment. The quality of food that I enjoyed in the past was not being served this night. I was very saddened. Normally this is a solid pub style restaurant. Hopefully they will read this and make some changes. read more

This has to be one of the best managed restaurants in Folsom. Every aspect is consistently amazing. The friendly wait staff always greets us with sense of friendly familiarity and the food is always great. In many restaurants, I have my standard order. Not here! Too many great choices. The burger, ribs, ravioli, all amazing. I also enjoy the rotating taps that always have great choices. Highly recommended. read more

This is the 2nd time that I've been there and it is way too stuffy inside !!! Other than that the the crab cakes where amazing !!

Called in order to go and paid on the phone. I was given the charge amount which I authorized. The staff asked if I wanted to keep the tag open and have my friend that was picking up the order sign for it and I said "No" she cannot sign on my credit card. When my friend got there their server Ian asked her to "fill this out" and pointed to the gratuity line and asked for her signature. While she thought this was odd, she did it. When I called to ask why they did this Ian said they are required to get a signature on every order. Do not pay by card with these folks, they are not trustworthy. read more

This place was recommended by someone we know. Not knowing what to expect it turned out to be a decent meal. It is more of a bar scene type of place, not the kind my husband and I prefer, but we went with it anyways. The wait staff is friendly. The food is pretty good. We started with the wings and the sauce was pretty good and had a bite to it. I ordered the shrimp dish and it seemed to be good. I have to warn you my taste buds were off since I was fighting a cold. My husband and son both got sandwiches. They shared both of them and neither one finished their food, so the portions are generous. They were good about refilling our drinks. We would probably go back again but it is more of a lunch type of place for us. read more

Hmmm, I'll start with a few positives: Decent selection of wine and beer. Happy hour is short and only 30% off a few wines but beer prices a bit better and some nice craft beers. The mashed potatoes with mushroom gravy was delicious but unfortunately the best part of the $25 meal! I ordered a Rosemary Ribeye steak meal But could not smell or taste any Rosemary. When I asked our server if she actually ordered the Rosemary steak option for me because I could not see, taste or smell any Rosemary she pointed out a few sprigs on my plate and said That looks like Rosemary to me. But I said but yeah I could not taste it at all and it looks burnt the few pieces you showed me she reluctantly asked me if I want to order something different but no apology no offer of compensation. I did not want to re-order and wait for my food nor piss off the car so I just said oh no it's fine. Hoping maybe she would've offered an additional discount on something on my Meal but she did not. My three teenagers were with me and nobody particularly cared for their meal. Even though I ordered my last glass of wine 6 minutes past happy hour she charged me full price. And finally sorry to say but the staff seemed more interested and concerned about interacting with each other than actually serving the customers. read more

Great place GREAT food very friendly fun atmosphere and very small cozy. We didn't know much about the place so we brought our kids 12 and 11 which they catered too very well. I highly recommended their crab cakes and butternut squash tortellini. read more

Great wings and beer selection! The portions are very big and the service was on point.
