I wasn't a huge fan of the salmon (not their fault, I was just expecting an actual piece of salmon instead of a patty but I didnt read the menu properly). We also had the patty melt which was good. Drinks were good but service was definitely lacking. We would go back and sit at the bar since youre probably going to get better service there. This was a Sat afternoon so they were a little busy but not enough staff.

I ordered the same thing as last time , I had checked my prior review and read that I thought the cobb salad was as good as any I've had so i tried it again and I think it's THE best cobb salad i've had over the years . Crazy horse has live music regularly, so it feels more like a watering hole bar but the food is delicious and it's much more than a place to grab a drink. Service is always good , happy hour had some food and drink specials, 6$ cocktails and discounted apps. Stop by Crazy horse saloon next time you're in Nevada City, especially if you love cobb salad !! Cheers!!

Having visited the Gold country off and on my entire life, I am kind of used to these neat old buildings that dot The Golden Necklace Highway of 49. But this one was unique. It was multi-leveled though not necessarily two stories. If you've ever been to Nevada City you understand that it's actually fairly steep in its terrain so nothing can be completely flat. So whoever built this back in the day utilized to the natural geography in a really cool way. Inside there is a bar in one area, two separate lower level rooms with completely different feels to each of them. And then of course as you come in there is foyer like gathering area. The market itself was awesome and I'll review that separately. I wasn't able to utilize the bar as there was a long line the entire time and only one or two servers so that was a bit of a disappointment. Most of the food was prepackaged again because of the type of event this was. I am not sure how food would be done here for other events. In terms of facilities the bathrooms were well kept in clean, the whole venue seemed to be well taken care of, the small exhibits that were around were in good condition, and everything seemed to be functioning properly. The lighting is a little dim which was made more apparent given the day was a dreary fall afternoon with lots of cloud cover and rain. So it did make looking at some of the items at the market a little more difficult. I did end up using my cell phone flashlight to get a better look at some items. But overall this is a great place! I love the feel of it and I could see lots of events being very cool here. I think a wedding would be super fun though It might be difficult for those who have accessibility needs. That's the last part I want to add to this, accessibility parking. There's like hardly any. In fact parking in general in this entire area is extremely difficult. The parking lot's not very big and as I mentioned earlier this is a multi-level space. So it's not the most accessible to those who have mobility needs. Granted it was built before ADA and I believe it's historical so it would be very difficult to make some of the adjustments to make it more accessible. But something, anything, needs to be done about the parking.

After our table mates were served we sat for almost 45 minutes before we were notified they lost our order AND the special we order had sold out. Yet, even after they told us they were out of chicken they continued to serve the special to the table next to us. After we selected something else from the menu another 20 minutes passed before we were served. The CA Cobb salad was about as big as a side plate and hardly any chicken and the hamburger was overcooked and WAY over seasoned. 2 hours from walking in the door to getting served. They tried to make amends by comping our meal..I understand restaurants can run out of food but when you "run out" you serve the people who put their order in 30 minutes before the latecomers are served. The event was good but there is EXTREMELY limited parking. The interior was hot as it didn't seem like the AC was working at first. Bottom line- it's nice to support small businesses but this one needs some serious schooling in restaurant management.

The bartender was so nice when my friend and I visited, hardly anyone was there at the time because they were transitioning to dinner service- I assume, at least. My friend and I both got cocktails (can't remember what they were) and both were good! We decided to try their beet hummus platter which came with lots of delicious and fresh toppings along with some herbaceous focaccia bread. It was one of the best appetizers I have had in a long time. We also ordered the Amaretto Bread Pudding which I guess was a seasonal item at the time- in my opinion, it should be on the menu full-time. It really was that good! Unlike anything I've ever had before, and soaked in that lovely almond flavor with moist and buttery bread pudding. I highly recommend coming here, even if it's just for some small plates!!

The lawn seats are…read morepriced cheap and you can still get a great view of the stage as long as you sit in the front area of the grass and don't have too many people in front of you. You can rent chairs there to sit in for $10-$15 that you return at the end of the night. They no longer allow you to bring your own chairs anymore. You can bring in blankets to sit on which I recommend. The grass does get little bugs and nats but I brought a portable fan and it kept them away. They have a huge selection of food, drinks and serve alcohol. The price for the food is expensive. I got 3 street barbacoa tacos and it was $24! The homemade lemonade was $9.78 and pretzel was $9.78 with no cheese. They have a great stage set up and the sound system is amazing. The only thing that is horrible is the parking situation. I recommend you buy the VIP parking so you can get good parking when arriving but more so when you leave because you're able to beat the traffic and not have to wait in line to leave for hours because of the one way out. The VIP and handicap parking allows you to drive in the center lanes and skip the one lane main parking line. It's in the middle of Wheatland and close to Hard Rock Casino.

I bought tickets for my husband as a 2019 Christmas gift, for the 2020 show. Then Covid hit and they postponed the 2020 show, as did everyone else, and I completely understood. We were so excited for the rescheduled festival in 2021. Then they "postponed" that show too, even though by that point everything had re-opened and all the other festivals and shows were on. I don't know about you, but I've never heard of a 2-year "postponement" and wish we could just call it what it is. Regardless, we planned to finally attend in 2022. And then I found out my brother picked the same weekend to get married, on the east coast. He wasn't even engaged at the time the original event was scheduled to have happened, so I had no way of knowing about this conflict 2 years down the road, and of course the *very* small window to receive a refund had already passed. I am not sure how HSMF got away with offering such a narrow window for 2020 refunds, and so early on (more than a year before the rescheduled show), but they offered zero help or support when I reached out to them about this issue. They informed me I would have to join their Facebook group to sell my tickets since they wouldn't refund me themselves. I joined the group, posted the tickets, and my post was removed so it was not a feasible means of resale. Then I got an email that HSMF was soon to be selling tickets for 2022, so I once again reached out to them and asked very kindly if they could please accept a return on my tickets due to the unprecedented TWO YEAR postponement, a family wedding that I cannot miss, and the fact that they'd be selling these tickets later the same week anyway- why not sell mine too?! But nobody even had the decency to respond to me. It takes a special kind of *insert favorite word for a mean person* to take over $600 from someone during a pandemic, "postpone" the event for two YEARS, not make an exception for such extenuating circumstances, and not even have the decency to reply. Just pocketing the money of music fans without offering any type of genuine humane support or understanding. Needless to say, going forward I will not be supporting a festival that operates in such a way. We've been to music festivals all over the country and never had a negative experience, so there's plenty of good music and festivals out there where people are treated right. Buyer beware!

I used to help…read moreout backstage, once carrying two of Steve Kimock's legendary guitars off stage after an epic performance in somewhat cold weather. I remember Steve saying, "It's like playing chickens out there." At the time that made perfect sense. If memory serves, this was the first time a lot of us tried Sierra Nevada beer (back then a sibling on the emerging craft beer scene) and the entire experience was warm and friendly. I never made it back between the early 90s until this year. I am so happy I decided to finally return. The festival has changed locations (a couple of times since) and become a lot bigger and organized. There are scores of bands, too many to see as four or five are playing at once on the different stages, but it is easy enough to walk around and catch a few songs of each. If it's hot, there is a swimming pool $8, or so. And the camping is fun. Pulling in at the beginning can be a bit stressful in sorting out your space, but once the dust settles, it's all dandy. Folks say this is a music festival for musicians, and I agree. But of course all are welcome. I hope to return again.

He wouldn't even make eye contact and blew right past me to serve a white guy who had just walked up to my right. When he finally looked back over, he looked right past me again to my wife. She literally had to point at me and tell him, "He's the one ordering." ​While we were sitting at the bar (had to move because the overhead fans create a ridiculous wind tunnel at the tables), a Hispanic guy walked in. He was in a great mood, carrying a bag no bigger than a small basketball. The bartender immediately stopped him and said he couldn't have the bag in there, basically refusing to serve him. Since the guy was alone, he just left. ​It was a terrible look. Between getting blatantly ignored while standing right in front of the guy and watching how he treated the next customer, the bias here was obvious. If you aren't the right demographic, don't expect decent service.
