    BLAT
    Sara W.

    This was my first time coming since it changed from hacienda! Very cute spot and I feel like they changed the inside a bit too. It feels more restaurant like than bar. I sat at the bar and the bar tender seemed new as he was still learning what each table was numbered but he was extremely friendly and attentive. I got their BLAT which comes with a big piece of chicken on it! I thought it was good but the chicken was a bit dry. I upgraded to their sweet potato fries and those were delicious. They have a huge beer selection and I definitely want to come back once the weather is nicer to sit outside on their huge outdoor patio. It looks over sutter street but still a great spot to people watch! I recommend coming here for a nice casual bite to eat! Lots of different options on the menu!

    Came by while in town right before closing. Was greeted and sat quickly. I had the Drake Burger. It was really good. Got a little bit messy after a few bites but overall I recommend you give it a try! The spot is a vibe I'm sure in a Friday night with the music going it's a good time! I

    Pulled Park and Fries

    I've been here a few times, and I love the environments and service here. Zia does an amazing job making drinks and ensuring customers are being served. I've seen her countless times the only one working bar and kills it. I've only tried the pulled park sandwich special which tasted amazing. I will be back to try other food and drinks and would highly recommend this place.

    I love Riley's. Although it was a hot day in Folsom, the beautiful deck are provides fans and water mister's which makes for a comfortable environment. The staff are professional and friendly. The food comes out fast and hot. I had the chicken tacos which were delicious. My dining mates had the hamburger sliders and the chicken BLT. Food was enjoyed by all. Do yourself a favor and visit Riley's on Sutter. You won't be sorry.

    HAPPY HOUR! Had happy hour at Riley's on Sutter and it was a great experience with good service a great ambience and great food and drink! Everything's really festive inside and they have heaters outside if you wanna sit outside. I would highly recommend if you have a family or a group of people to come out over and have some food and drink!

    Macho Salad
    Nicole W.

    We came for lunch a few months ago because we saw some good reviews and wanted to try something different and this place did not disappoint. When we got here it was pretty busy but not slammed and we got seated right away. We loved the decor as it had lots of pictures of dogs and they still had some lights up from Christmas but we thought it added a nice touch to it. The menu wasn't super busy or had a lot of items but it had a great selection. My daughter got the bbq burger and loved the sauce that came with it and the tots were super crunchy which she loves! My husband had the macho salad and he said it was very flavorful, the chicken was super moist and was not dry at all like some other salads we've had with other places. I had the taco salad which I loved! The chicken was super moist and the guacamole seemed very fresh! We will definitely be coming back again when we are in the area!

    After landing in Sacramento, we were looking for a food joint. Tried a place in downtown Sacramento that didnt work out, so we came here instead on the way to Rescue. Its a really large place. They have a huge outside area as well,as a large indoor area. This place is evidently named after their first rescue Riley. Very beautiful dog. And a very good mission too rescuing more dogs. We ordered several things: 1. Cheeseburger slider- it was ok. 3 of them. It was ok. Nothing special. 2. Calamari- they were really well breaded. I love the crunchiness. It eas really good. 3. Boneless wings- good seasoning. It has a good amount of heat to it. Moist inside. A nice crunch on the outside. 4. Quesa birria taco- they were pretty good. Comes with chips and salsa. 5. Cajun jambalaya- it wasent that good. Flavors were muted. It needed more seafood in it. 6. Wintery cocktail- it was a marshmallow drink. It was really good. Refreshing and light. On the sweeter side. But it was really good. A cool concept restaurant. They can handle large groups. Dogs are welcomed here too. There was somewhat of a wait to order our food even though they werent busy at the time. But super friendly people. Food is good. I thoroughly enjoyed Rileys on Sutter!!

    Salmon taco and tots (with fire sauce)
    Geoff M.

    Came in on a Saturday night around 7pm. Greeted and sat promptly. Staff were nice, attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. There was a live artist when we were there. Items on menu weren't too expensive, portions were fine. Food items: Salmon tacos: 3.9/5 - Salmon was ok. Felt like a Cajun rub on the salmon before placing in the taco would've upped the score a bit. Felt like it was missing something Tots: they were tots Burger: Friend seemed to like it. Overall, the place was fine. I would try other eateries in the area if we return.

    First time visiting and it was a good experience. The food was solid bar/ grill fares- classic burgers, fries, chicken wings, and flatbreads. While it's not the most innovative menu, everything was delivered well. The location on Sutter Street is fantastic. They have an awesome covered outdoor patio heat lamps , large TVs, and the second floor location allows for some fun people watching . We came with a large party , and really appreciated the friendly, attentive service. Our waitress handled the busy party seamlessly and kept everything running smoothly. A great place for large gatherings or casual eats in Old Folsom . Oh and the owners obviously love dogs ... photos of pups everywhere. Dog people are my kind of people :)

    Chicken sandwich + sweet potato fries
    Liza L.

    Came on a Sunday for my moms birthday. It wasn't busy so we were seated right away - we chose to sit outside which is super cute, as long as weather permits, haha. The staff was very nice & the food was delicious! My only thing about the chicken sandwich was that I thought it would be spicy.. it wasn't. The chicken was smaller than I was anticipating as well, but overall good! They have a pretty large menu so we will definitely be back to try more.

    Totchos, Spicy chicken waffle sliders and onion rings
    LeAnn S.

    Had happy hour appetizers and a draft beer. Sat on the patio, loved it-even with it being a little chilly-they had heaters and it was nice. The totchos were delicious, spicy Nashville chicken waffle sliders and onion rings. The waffle sliders were spicy. The Totchos were the best!!! Onion rings were crispy and flavorful. Also ordered the poke for our daughter, who really liked it. Our server was super nice, and we want to return.

We decided to try friends. When we walked in, it was completely empty. One table inside had two people seated and one table outside had two people there. We sat on patio, it is quiet and nice to feel like you are in the woods with trees and foliage all around.. Nice and peaceful. The tables looked like the "old" Benihana type of tables with the grill pan in the middle. They looked dirty but it I think they are just dated. Not a problem for us as we tend to like "hole in the wall" type places and that is the vibe this place gives. Our waitress was nice just seemed shy. Music genre was oldies. We ordered a jalapeño burger and the grilled chicken club sandwich. The jalapeño burger was supposed to be 1/2 lb Angus beef. It did have good flavor and cooked right, but it was a very small burger. Hubby felt that it couldn't be 1/2lb. For the price it was just too small. $18. The grilled chicken avacado club sandwich had one slice of bacon on it, not a deal breaker but the chicken wasn't grilled. Not sure how it was cooked, but not on a grill. It had a lot of seasoning on it and yet the sandwich was underwhelming. The produce seemed like it was yesterday's produce. The fries were also just ok. Didn't seem like there was any salt. They did sprinkle some chopped cilantro on top which looked nice. Overall we did enjoy the patio and peacefulness of our lunch there, and we do hope to see some improvements in quality and maybe better portion sizes for the cost. We will give it a shot another time, maybe dinner time when they are a little busier.

The food is consistently phenomenal. A varied menu from appetizers to lunch and dinner items. These chefs have perfected every dish. Big portions... no skimping at Manderes.

The simple Angus burger is served between sourdough buns. No mushy regular hamburger buns. The fries are crisp, hot and plentiful. Salads, sandwiches, and mouth-watering appetizers. Someone is getting hungry just writing this!:) Happy Hour 3 to 5, Monday thru Friday. All the beer and wine selections are quality... with a capital Q. No crap on tap... as they say. Popular crab cakes, calamari, wings and more. You cannot go wrong. The customer service remains the best in the restaurant world. Seriously. Long time peeps who are pros. Every single one is incredible. You have their attention from start to finish. Hard workers. Manderes is not fancy. Ambiance is a cool, small, cozy area which includes a bar. Tables and high tops finish out the mix. Cool guitar memorabilia accents the walls and adds a cool vibe. And the juke box! Lotsa happy diners loving it all. Manderes has carved out quite the foodie reputation. It is not to be missed! Thanks, Brent, for providing a sensational community spot to meet, eat and be happy! Definitely locally owned!

Upon entering, I was pleasantly surprised to find what looked and felt like a local upscale pub with a large bar with TVs and various tables scattered around. The menu offers something for everyone, and the portions are generous. I opted to start with the garlic bread with a dipping sauce, followed by the Southwestern chicken salad entree special. The bread crust had garlic baked onto it, and the dipping sauce was huge and flavorful. The Southwestern salad exceeded my expectations. It was huge! The chicken was grilled and blackened and cooked to perfection and served on a bed of fresh lettuce with black beans, chopped onions, and blue cheese with a spicy dressing that was fantastic. The dish was so good that I'm tempted to go back tomorrow night. If you're looking for a casual dining spot with a friendly local vibe and amazing food, Manderes fits the bill! I appreciated the fact they had a couple of NA beer options along with a nice selection of beer on tap. Highly recommend!

    Went back for another lunch and it didn't disappoint. Yes, this place can be confusing because…read morethere are no servers and you have to order at the bar. I've watched many people seat themselves at tables and leave 10 minutes later because no one asked them what they wanted. Yes, the decor is stuck in the 90's, but I actually like it. The double smash burger I had was excellent. The bun they use is awesome and they charred the patty perfectly. It tasted way better than Fleming's Prime Steakhouse burger I had last week, that's for sure. The thick steak-cut fries are awesome, too. Over salted but nothing a cold beer can't cut through. Highly recommend their smash burger.

If it wasn't for this "mission," there's a good chance I wouldn't have wandered in. I LOVE Sutter Street, but honestly I don't live nearby and don't have many reasons to come here. That said, I'm thankful for the mission and glad I dropped by. It's a super cute place and the bartender had a nice relaxed chill vibe to her. This is where I'd normally drop her name and give her kudos - but I didn't get her name. I thought her name would be on the receipt, but it wasn't! I assume her name isn't "Shift Night N" anyway, which would be weird - but that's what is listed for "server". Anyway... the burger... I liked it. I liked it a lot. I was not asked how I wanted it cooked (not expected or demanded by me) - but an observation that I toss in for comparison purposes. It was cooked to a solid medium, which is fine with me. Caramelized onions were standard - nice - but the tomato and lettuce were listed as 'optional' - and the bartender (Shift Night N) asked me if I wanted them. I opted in. The bun was above average - definitely a notch above the typical mass-produced buns often used elsewhere. I opted for sweet potato fries. They had good flavor. Personal preference-wise... I would have liked them to be cooked a smidge more. If/when I come back, I'll probably ask them to be crispy-er. Overall, thumbs up! I wouldn't hesitate to come back and try other things on the menu. #burgers

We didn't think we would eat it all, but we honestly couldn't stop. It was lightly dressed, contained a ton of toppings and was probably half a container for mixed greens which was fantastic! If you're more into heavily dressed salads you probably wanna ask for more. Either way, we had a great lunch at an unassuming place. They apparently have a Speak Easy as well which we unfortunately didn't get to experience.

The owner is an incredibly kind, genuine man from Atlanta who brought authentic Southern barbecue to Folsom, and it shows in every bite. This isn't just another barbecue restaurant; it's the real deal. The beef ribs are my absolute favorite. They're perfectly smoked, incredibly tender, and packed with flavor. Honestly, I've tried just about everything on the menu, and I have yet to find anything that wasn't amazing. Belly Barbecue is in a league of its own, and there's simply nothing else like it anywhere around here. The only downside to Belly Barbecue being so amazing, they run out of food!

The pork ribs had great flavor with perfect tenderness and just the right amount of bite. The brisket was the star of the meal. It had an excellent bark and reminded me of some of the best brisket I've had in Texas: simple salt and pepper seasoning done right. I also got my wife a beef rib and a side of collard greens to go. The customer service was outstanding. Everyone was friendly, accommodating, and made the experience even better. I'll definitely be back. I also liked how the owner stayed in the front and engaged with every customer. Definitely a family feel coming here.
