Define 5 star joint. The staff/ambience is welcoming and awesome. This a cool smaller business that provides great food and great service. Pancakes are huge, Sandwiches are great, and the service is second to none. There has been one time that I was confused about why my pancakes tasted like grilled onions. I asked the waitress why; she told me to wait a 5 minutes and brought twice the pancakes I ordered, plus a take home stack of pancakes. This place rocks!!! Love the vibe here. The food comes out in a timely manner but there is rush. Chill spot ! read more

The service was great, the food tasty and a nice quiet spot for dinner. I recommend eating here.

I came here for lunch with a girlfriend on a Saturday before wine tasting at Caymus-Suisun. All of the staff were friendly! The hostess let me wait at the bar until my friend arrived. It was a beautiful day, so we sat outside on the patio. It was hard to choose from the options on the menu in addition to the Daily/Lunch Specials. We started with the Spinach Artichoke Dip and the Buffalo Chicken Wings. I ordered the Game Burger, which was one of the specials. It was a blend of Wagyu Beef, Bison, Venison, and another meat I cannot remember. It was perfectly medium-cooked and juicy! My friend got the Prime Rib Sandwich off of the Lunch Specials Menu. I want to come back to try the American Wagyu Tomahawk. read more

Mankas Grill - American Near Me - Fairfield, California

I don't usually leave reviews, but after two visits I feel this needs to be said. I recently moved to Fairfield and had heard this place described as one of the best in the area. That simply isn't true. The food is not good, especially for the price point. On my most recent visit, the Ora King salmon was severely undercooked and thoughtless. Similarly, the red beat salad felt poorly constructed and careless. Both dishes missed the mark. I left spending $80 for my meal, still hungry, and ended up eating elsewhere shortly after. I should have raised this in the moment, but I was with friends and chose not to make it an issue at the table. There's clearly potential here the ambiance is nice and the staff are kind, but the food needs significant improvement to justify the reputation and pricing. That said, save your money and skip this restaurant. read more

Went this weekend for lunch between wineries. This restaurant would never be a destination restaurant for me. For $20. I was served two tacos and a side of chips & salsa. NOTHING had any seasoning on it. I had to ask for salt & pepper. Everything was fresh , but entirely bland. I'm sorry these just weren't $10.00 tacos in my opinion. read more

I shared a delicious birthday meal here with friends on the patio. Although it's December the patio stays pretty warm from the heaters. All of the food was delicious. We loved the Wagyu Carpaccio (not photographed), and the Truffle fries were the best I've ever had. The service was very good. read more

We came for a birthday dinner reservation. As soon as we were seated the ambiance was so loud. We were a table for 2 and we couldn't even hear each other through our conversation. The service was mediocre. The server took our drink order and then didn't check back with us but proceeded taking the orders of 2 tables that arrived after us. When he took our order he was about to announce the special and then retracts it. Sorry! No special tonight! Not the service we expected. We just proceeded to order from the menu and we got our soup and salad. Then the entree arrived. We never saw him again. A different server checked on us once we finished our meal and he was much more personable. We would rate the food 3/5 star. It's over priced for the food and service they provided. We came here to try it out and we should have stuck to our regular restaurant in Walnut Creek. Disappointing experience. No comparison. Also only street parking. Ok, it's actually side road parking. read more

The service is so great and the people working there is so nice and helpful. The food looks great and tastes better. I usually like to get the pasta or the burger when I go. Also when me and my family goes we usually sit outside because it's looks and feels nice to sit outside and hear the music from across the street. read more

Awesome service and great food thanks Chris and good to see Justin Parking is dangerous read more

Such a cool little hidden gem of a spot. Nice happy hour menu, relaxed atmosphere and service.

Went here on a Saturday after we went to Caymus Winery. Parking here is limited as it's a busy area with other restaurants around. We are a party of 8 without a reservation but they were accommodating and we were seating fairly fast. We were seated outside with outdoor heater. We ordered some appetizers the *Pork Belly Nachos $16 was dry would skip this next time, Chicken Wings chipotle bbq $16 was pretty amazing great flavors and crispy. I ordered the *Steakhouse Burger brioche bun with the side of sweet potato fries $22 it was a huge portion flavor was good. *Short Rib Poutine $22 french fries with cheese curd definitely shareable. *Some of my friends ordered cocktails but wasn't very pleased. Servers were not friendly and didn't really check on us but overall our visit it was okay and we had a good time. read more

Cool spot at the crossroads. A bit pricey but a unique place . A wine country gem. read more

Service was great. Cocktails were very good. We sat on the patio near a heater and were comfortable. Mixed feelings about the food; $68 prime rib was just okay, nothing special about it. Rigatoni Bolognese was good, but lacking in meat and spice, and served with a small dry slice of baguette. Chicken fettuccine was great, as was the beet salad. Bread pudding was very good and it was a very generous serving, but the sliver of lemon blueberry cheesecake was bland with no noticeable lemon flavor at all and served a few blueberries on a drizzle of strawberry(?) syrup. Next time I'll just order the burger which I know is wonderful. read more

Went there for your lunch date with my husband for an appetizer we had the bruschetta super flavorful hit the right spot very fresh and refreshing on the outdoor patio. I had the chicken piccata chicken with super moist. The flavor on the chicken was on point. It had seasonal vegetables I could've did without the pepper and the okra. I'm not a big fan of okra, but the flavors were great. My Husband had the pasta Bolognese And it was delicious. read more

There's something about this location that I really like. It was definitely nice and cozy on a chilly Saturday evening. Service was spot on. They had a pretty basic menu, but we found the food to be good overall. There was a group of us so we tried a number of things on the menu. Nothing particularly stood out but we had no complaints. They have online reservations and parking outside, although things are busy you may have to walk a little bit. Super close to a few wineries and a fantastic olive oil store! read more

Since we were in the area we happened to stop by this place with no reservation, we were seated outside since the place was reserved seating, mind you it was during one of the hottest times during in the summer during July 4th weekend. They did turn on the coolers outside for us which made sitting outside bearable. Let me break down everything we sampled and how everything faired Chicken fingers with fires for the kids - per the kids it was delicious Ceviche Tostada - flavorful, large bits of seafood, order this for an appetizer Bruschetta - very flavorful small portion but very good as a starter kids pasta - more sauce then meat but then again this is American pasta, it was tasty, my daughter almost finished the whole bowl Tomahawk - star of the show made medium rare, everything about this steak was perfect, color, presentation, taste, juicy, large portion, already pre-sliced definitely something you want to sample, a must order Dessert vanilla ice cream - perfect finish for a hot day bread pudding - all I can say is yes I will have seconds beverages 3 red sangria's - since it is close to wine country the sangria was flavorful, definite must try In all everything we were served was amazing, if you are in the area it is best to put this on your must try list The wait staff was very responsive and friendly food ***** everything served was perfect price $$$ service ***** ambiance ***** although it would have been nice to eat inside the outside was not that bad, across the street was a watering hole, several people outside enjoying mid evening beverages read more

Wonderful place to meet friends, stop for lunch or recover after driving, or wine tasting or enjoying this lovely corner of the Suisun appellation wine area. Relax! Great lunch menu, lots of food choices & drinks. Mix of groups, couples, friends, "ladies who lunch", tourists and retired folks enjoying life here. Friendly service. Great food, many choices, big portions. A large outdoor patio, and many indoor dining areas. There were several groups and couples at 2pm on a Tuesday... so plan for bigger crowds on the weekend- or call ahead. Parking is limited, but walking a bit is no big deal. read more

Met up with a friend to have brunch here. The food on the Menu as (time we went) ended up being more of a Lunch Menu but we nevertheless were not disappointed. From the moment we walked in the wait staff were friendly and kind. Our server was very polite and helped us make some exceptional choice for our meal. The environment is modern chic and very beautiful both indoor and outdoors. For an Appetizer we tried to a risotto one and it was phenomenal really light crunchy and flavorful, Definitely a unique but delicious take on this dish. For my meal I order the pesto chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries and the portions did not disappoint. It was beautiful presented and you could definitely taste the quality and freshness of the ingredients. I'm a sucker for a crispy crunch lettuce. To end our already fabulous meal our served recommended the Flourless cakes with ice cream and me and my friend shared this large dessert to the last bite. It was perfectly balanced not too sweet and so rich and decadent absolutely delicious i highly recommend this place for a lovely lunch experience. read more

It's been a number of years since I've been here; what took me so long? Party of 7, reservations made. 4 in our party were running late (30 min); no problem sat us down, water, adult beverages served. Decided to have apps (you snooze, you lose) the artichoke, poutine and artichoke spinach dip were all excellent. Once the rest of our party arrived, service continued to be excellent. Pasta, pork chop, ribeye, serf and turf, and fish special were all shared and all excellent!!! Our server, Justin was wonderful attentive but never intrusive, service with a smile. Will definitely return but won't wait so long. read more

Visited Mankas Grill with a large party for our Friendsgiving event. The service was excellent. The ambiance is great and the service prompt. I had the chicken fettuccine which was good. The flavor was average but the serving size was good. My kids loved bolognese and the filet mignon was excellent. Will definitely be back. read more

The food here is overpriced for what it is. The salmon was overcooked and just seemed like poor quality. I fed it to my dogs for the most part. The fries were lumpy and soggy and not salted. This place was good years ago but it's been very mediocre for years and the prices are too high. read more

Every time I go here, I feel that the servers need to be trained better. It was awkward. Food was great! read more

Sunday Brunch time again and Mankas Grill is up. I've been to this place several times before all owned by different people. The latest iteration is owned by the same people who own Napa Deli so I was excited to give it a go. I was glad I did because everything was excellent! The brunch menu had me at Steak with Chimichurri. My medium rare steak was tender and went well with traditional chimichurri sauce. Also it was nice to see Model Bakery english muffins as a bread choice. I also snuck a bite of the Braised Beef Eggs Benedict and it was so bomb. The beef was tender, packed with flavor and paired nicely with the tang of the hollaindaise sauce. I will have to have a whole order to myself next time I'm here. Compared to previous stylings, I liked this version the best. I feel the medium brown woods and black accents give the place a stylish but comfy vibe. The courtyard was also redone and looks like a cool place to have dinner at night during the hot summers. They have a full service bar so mixed drinks,wine and tap beers are all at the ready. I think this place is one of the nicest places to have dinner in terms of lush surroundings, restaurant ambience and food in Solano county. We will be back for more delicious meals! read more

Over all food is pretty good, as always. I was disappointed by the lack of professionalism during my recent visit. The hostess greeted us with a noticeably dry, almost sarcastic tone, which immediately set a negative tone for the evening. Throughout our meal, it was hard to ignore that many of the younger staff members spent a considerable amount of time standing around or openly socializing with each other rather than focusing on guests. At a restaurant of this caliber, I expect attentive service and a welcoming atmosphere, and unfortunately, that was not the experience here. read more

Walking into Mankas, you know you're walking into a comfortable welcoming environment. Food- I had really good crispy and flavorful fish and chips. It was crunchy, it was seasoned well, and most of it was fresh. The crème brûlée is definitely worth the calories. With a crispy top and creamy, it's worth taking another mile of cardio. Overall would come here again . read more

First time there I had a great experience! I drink a lot of water so my glass was never empty with very attentive service! The food was very delicious I tried the Chipotle BBQ wings they are definitely a must try definitely a 10/10! Very good in flavor and probably my favorite appetizer! Also had the Chicken Fettuccine the chicken was very well seasoned with a very creamy sauce absolutely loved it! Would definitely go back with a very chill ambiance. read more

Delicious meal in a beautiful setting! I went to this restaurant for the first time a few weeks ago with my parents on our way to Gastoff's Sculpture Ranch. My parents ordered pizza and soup. I ordered the Po'Boy sandwich. This was the best meal I had while dining out in months! The sandwich had a large generous number of shrimp, and a fresh roll. It was seasoned perfectly without being too spicy. Along with the sandwich, I had sweet potato fries. They were so good! My mom and dad's flatbread pizza was larger than I expected and looked very tasty. Our waiter was helpful with his suggestions and efficient with his prompt delivery of our meals. I suggest dining outside on the patio if the weather is nice. It is cozy and relaxing. One final note, the bathrooms are immaculate, which always impresses me. read more

Great food and the best to visit in the summer. Would recommend their happy hour appetizers!

This place has great food and even better drinks. I love ribeye steaks and I always get it cooked perfect (medium rare) and they deliver each time. The price is up there but I don't mind paying for a well prepared delicious tasting and appetite filling meal! Drinks are strong and well balanced. I am a Hennessy sidecar type of lady they serve with an orange peel a slight difference on essence. I have eaten her multiple times and will return in the future. Great Ambiance as the fireplace outside can be nice and cozy. read more

Never been to Suisin City and a friend suggested we meet there, as it was the halfway point for both of us. What a cute little area for some good eats, great entertainment and wine tasting. We started off at Mankas Grill for lunch; what a great place to dine. The food was really good, the cocktails are fantastic and the ambiance was great. The service was really good as well, however I forgot our server's name. After wine tasting at two different wineries, we ended up back at Mankas Grill for dessert. We sat outside, facing a bar that had a live band. I would totally come back to this establishment again! read more
