    Pork sliders in the four ground and brewhouse fries behind them.
    Ron H.

    My wife and I glanced at the clock and realized we could make it to Manderes just in time for Happy Hour. We started off with an order (2) Pork Sliders and Brewhouse Fries. The slider was a bit too spicy (it's not THAT spicy) for my wife which meant more for me. The fries were done just the way I like them. The fries come with ketchup as well as cucumber wasabi ranch, which was just a little spicy. My wife stuck with the ketchup. We then decided to split an order of Korean barbecue beef. The meat was thinly sliced and deliciously marinated. The rice and the cucumber salad were very good and the stir fry vegetables were cooked perfectly with just the littlest bit of crunch left in them. Everything was delicious. Our server made sure that our drinks never got below half and our bill was promptly brought out as soon as the take-home box was delivered. The restaurant was very busy, but the staff was really hustling and we were in and out in an hour without feeling rushed. It is a brew house vibe and there were TVs tuned to hockey, NBA basketball and NFL Football. The crowd checked off every demographic. I loved that they were almost completely full, yet it was quiet enough to carry on a conversation. It's no wonder two different sets of friends said this is their go-to restaurant in Folsom.

    Calamari Strips
    Carrie K.

    Wow this is a hidden gem! All these years we lived in Folsom we never thought to try this place. After reading great reviews on Yelp we came for dinner! All these years reviews were spot on accurate! Great genuine customer service from servers who are obviously prideful to work here. Great food and definitely generous portions! We had the raved crab cakes which were amazing! Calamari was also crisp and delish. Entrees: Steak Kabob served with 3 skewers and chunky mash, omg sooo filling and steak was tender and veges grilled to perfection. Shrimp and scallops were decent size and super tasty! Steak salad was also very tasty, tender and filling! This place seemed to be patronized by regulars and not an empty table the whole time we were there. We arrived about 5:40 pm on a Saturday! Definitely cozy and busy at the same time. Great vibe! We will become regular patrons for sure!!

    Fantastic place! A friend brought me here for dinner. Quickly greeted and sat at the bar. Bartender was friendly and make suggestions and offered specials. Ordered the ribs, an order of wings, and fries. The patrons at the bar were super friendly and made the experience awesome as the vibes were there! The food came out and the portions were huge! The ribs were great, fall off the bone and sauced well! The wings were crunchy and battered well and the sauces paired well. The onion rings that came with the ribs were awesome! Do not order the fries. The fries are bad. Soggy and tasted like they sat out of the fryer for awhile... Overall the selection of beers, the awesome food, and the good vibes make this a fantastic place to have dinner or catch up.

    The locals in this area, love this place. It's highly ranked on both yelp and Google. If you want to be the dinner rush, I recommend coming around 5/ 5:30 pm. Because the place will get packed very quickly and for good reason. The servers were great, even though the food did take a little time to come out they were constantly checking in on us and recommending different food, options and drinks during our meal. When the food came, it was well worth the wait! If you go, make sure you get the crabcake it is one of the best crabcakes I have ever had and it's one of their top menu items! The restaurant is on the smaller side and it is tight pack with seating so when it gets busy, it gets loud but it's still a very intimate and cozy atmosphere to be in.

    We have been here a bazillion times. Most recently on a Saturday afternoon before the dinner crowd started. The waitresses & waiters & even the owner recognized us too. We usually come to meet up with our besties on this side of town. Their service is excellent you can count on that! They are very accommodating. Because we came before 4 PM we weren't able to order off the dinner menu but their salads here are so delicious. I usually have the steak salad with no bleu cheese. I don't eat my bread & usually hand it over to our friends. My wife's favorite here now is the Asian chicken salad with chicken thighs. It's so tasty & she asked for dressing on the side which was perfect she said. She did however want more dressing & got it! We also love their calamari, shrimp lettuce wraps, Mongolian pork chop, Korean beef & crab cakes. By looking at my pics you can see we have been here on numerous occasions & we live in Elk Grove not in Folsom. So we have ventured out quite a ways across town to eat here yet it's so worth it! Their ambiance is very neighborly sportsman like yet casual! A very comfortable & consistent place to have an excellent meal! See you soon Manderes!

    The food was amazing, the server was attentive and the bar back refilled my drink not skipping a beat. We ate during happy hour and my sliders filled me up for $11. There weren't too many people there is it was perfect. Great experience.

    Came here for lunch. Party of 2! We came around 12ish and there was only a handful of us in here. So we were seated right away. If you are looking for a cute Aesthetic or fancy place, this is not it. But! if you are looking for a chill, casual, yummy food, good vibes type of place, then, this is it! Our customer service was great. I ordered the fettuccine alfredo and it was delicious! it was like more white sauce spaghetti rather then fettuccini i should say. but it was one of my favorite pasta dishes I have ever had. defiantly reccomend and I would go again!

    Crab cakes and French Brew House Fries

    I have a wonderful birthday meal at Manderes. It was packed (and quite small inside) however we were happy to get a seat on a Friday afternoon. I was celebrating my birthday with my Mom who is recovering from surgery so this was extra special. Like everywhere prices have gone up but no shrinkflation here! I got the steak salad and subbed salmon and as you can tell, they gave me a sizeable portion of salmon! My Mom loved her crab cakes and had to bring one home. Thank you!

    Angus Burger & Pesto Risotto with Salmon
    Jan S.

    A friend recommended this place to me and my partner since we're new to the area. I thought this was a small sports bar walking in with bar food and I was pleasantly surprised. The food is bomb. THE WINGS. Seriously so good, they're huge and cooked so well. We mixed the BBQ and medium spice together and I've craved it a lot since lol. My partner had the burger and I got the salmon and pesto risotto. The salmon was a little dry for my liking but the risotto when eaten with the balsamic is sooo good. Our server was very sweet and attentive, I definitely see us being regulars.

    Rosemary and garlic ribeye
    Shelly H.

    I've loved this restaurant for over 20 years so this review is long over due. Last night I had the rosemary and garlic ribeye special with mixed vegetables and red mashed potatoes. It was delicious! My mom had the pork chop and my dad had the ahi tuna with risotto. Everyone was in love with their meal and as always, no complaints. The food always comes out full of flavor and cooked to perfection. We also shared a wedge salad and the chili. Probably the best restaurant chili I have ever had. We ordered 3 bowls to go for Super Bowl Sunday. Angie was our server and she went above and beyond ensuring we were satisfied with our wine choices and was very tentative as well as charming. I always look forward to stopping in every time I'm home visiting! Of course we will be back!

    Steak salad- delicious.

    We were going out for my Birthday and I couldn't really find a place I wanted to go to until I saw Menderes on Yelp. It is in a strip mall. Easy parking out front. It was a Wednesday night and the restaurant and bar area was very full but they seated us right away. I asked for a beer recommendation and loved it! There were three of us and we ordered the steak salad (delicious), the squash raviolis (delicious) and the jambalaya special (delicious). The servers were so nice and they all worked so well together that I thought maybe they were two couples that were owners together but when I asked one of them they said, "no they just enjoy their work and are like family." It shows!!!! We will definitely return here.

    I saw a picture of bacon wrapped filet mignon but I could not find it in the menu?

    They are an occasional special on Friday or Saturday nights. I don't think they are filet mignon but they are some very tender and tasty cuts.

We were seated for dinner pretty quickly. The only problem I had was deciding what to order. The luau shrimp salad? Meatball sub? I finally decided on the lobster mac and cheese. While the portion wasn't large, it was delicious! Creamy and mild with fresh lobster (not fishy) and garlicy breadcrumbs. My husband got the ribeye and was thin but large with great seasoning and veggies. I'm not a big steak fan but I really liked it. We ended up grabbing some beignets to go for the kids, which were really tasty and came with 3 dipping sauces (our favorite was the Berry, although we ended up eating most of them without sauce). The atmosphere was upscale, but very casual, quiet and fun. We saw families with young children, couples on dates, and friends enjoying a meal together. It was the perfect vibe that we were looking for, comfortable, but classy. And the food was high-quality and tasty. We will definitely be back!

While our server was polite, the service was quite slow throughout the meal, despite the restaurant being fairly empty at the time.

I hope management addresses these concerns, as the kitchen is clearly doing a great job.

Have gotten smaller since the last time we came. I will say that I'm realizing the taco size is a bit on the small side. To really get full (especially for those who let's say didn't have a big lunch) it would be good to get 2-4 tacos for dinner. We have only tired tacos here from the Quesabirria to the octopus, roadkill to the cauliflower, and the al pastor and some other ones. So far they were tasty, some more salty than the others. I would say one of my favorite items is the elote, I recommend getting the whole corn that looks charred vs the bowl. The bowl doesn't do it justice and tastes like your eating corn from a can; there's no charred pieces. The chicharronnes appetizer was a good touch it tasted fresh and hot. The cucumber pineapple agua Fresca was also good, try it with Tajin on the cup. We had churro with ice cream for my mom-in-law's bday and wish they had other fun dessert options to share. One critique about our server was that he was not as attentive to our request: I called beforehand to let them know about the birthday and when we were done eating he hands us the check. So I had to go and talk with him; even after that he comes back with the plates for dessert which ended up no longer being a surprise which we had initially wanted it to be. And they also do NOT sing happy birthday here which is a bummer, but nonetheless we sang for our mom. Would we come here again, maybe but we may check out the Roseville location.

Definitely worth checking out. After reading some of the other Yelp reviews about one of the managers Jayden, I was hesitant--but my experience couldn't have been more different. Jayden actually helped guide me through a handcrafted experience with both the food and Kava. He was welcoming, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what Blend offers. It honestly seems like those past negative reviews were either exaggerated or completely false--whatever the case, his behavior has obviously been corrected, if there was ever an issue to begin with.
