    Ultimate dive of dives. We stopped outside to take a picture on our way back to Lake Minden campgrounds, and the owner and one of the customers opened the door yelling "come on in!" We could not refuse, and ended up staying for 2 drinks and lots of conversation. Simple cinderblock building, one pool table, a few tables, maybe some area out back (we didnt' check). Very cold beer, but only bottles (no tap). Extremely basic liquor selection. While there, we learned: - the owner bought the bar 7 years ago, and his wife brings him dinner there every day - Nicolaus used to be a major stop on the way down Hwy 90, but when the town flooded out in the 50's the Hwy was rebuilt several miles away, bypassing Nicolaus and bringing the local economy to a halt - Nicolaus used to be a cow-milkin' town (by hand!) - the owner and customers love guns & hunting We'll definitely go back.

    Classic "cheers" bar. Everyone's welcome but you get a special nod if you are a farmer.

    We have visited Sutter Buttes Brewing many times over the past four years, and somehow I always…read moreforget to leave a review. Every single visit has been consistently wonderful. The service is always warm and welcoming, and the friendly atmosphere has never changed. We've come for both lunch and dinner, and we've never been disappointed. On our most recent visit, we tried the bavarian sampler, and it completely blew us away. Every bite was packed with flavor, and everything tasted fresh and authentic. Over the years, Sutter Buttes Brewing has become one of our favorite comfort spots, whether it's during the fall, winter, or summer. It's the kind of place where you always feel welcomed and know you'll have a great meal and excellent service. If you're in the Yuba City area, this place is truly a hidden gem that deserves to be discovered. We highly recommend it!

It was uncomfortably hot. 2- I don't like how my husband and I weren't checked after our dinner was brought to us. I was always taught to check on tables after the first couple bites, just in case something needed attention. In our case, my husband's dinner was less than. 3- His cavatappi w/ creamy pesto was not even warm. The sauce was very watery not creamy at all. He sent it back. Did not even want it re-made, nor did he want to order anything else. 4- my dinner, the patty melt w/ fries, wasn't up to par either. Either the fries weren't fried at a high enough temp or they had been sitting around for a while, most of them were partially soggy. Also- the fries were NOT seasoned whatsoever.
