We went up to Sutter Creek today for a family outing. I checked the Yelp reviews yesterday and came up with 6 lunch options. We had 6 Adults and a pair of grandkids and I guessed some restaurants weren't going to have a big table for all of us. This place looked fine though. Corina and I split a Pastrami Reuben on sourdough. They served us on two plates and each of us got one of their yummy dill spears. The 1/2 sandwich was the perfect size for each of us and they were great tasting. I had a cup of delicious clam chowder on the side and an Amador Dirty Blonde ale that was pretty tasty. I need to find a source for that down here in Elk Grove. We will come back here again.

Oatmeal raisin cookie & half gold rush sandwich

Gillian A.

Came for the gnarly-huge cookies, stayed for the sandwiches. I figured that the oatmeal raisin cookie would have some crispiness to it, but not have crispiness be its whole personality trait lol. Rather tough and a bit on the one-note sweet side. Would be great to have the cookie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream as it would make a nice topping when crumbled haha. Gold rush sandwich was pretty decent. Not the most flavorful tri-tip but the sandwich bread was scrumptiously toasty. Nice cheese pull too. Pretty friendly staff and there is plentiful seating. 3 stars for the food collectively but bumped the rating up to a 4 for the service and ambiance. Overall a place to consider when searching for some grub at Sutter Creek.

Such an adorable coffee shop/cafe! We visited Sutter Creek for a wedding, and stopped in for some iced lattes to walk around town with. I wish we would have eaten breakfast here because both the food and prices looked great! My review is based solely on the latte (which was amazing) and the overall feel of the cafe. Can't wait to come back and eat here!

Lasagna soup was delicious. Never had this before. It was a delight, barbecue beef sandwich delicious and a lemonade. My friend had wine.

A wonderful stopping point on the way to or returning from the mountains. The BBQ sandwich was amazing with one of the best pickles I have had in a long time. My wife had the house special, which was equally good if you miss the post-Thanksgiving sandwich. And the potato salad is excellent. It has a wonderful small town atmosphere with a great staff.

Lots of sandwiches to choose from. My turkey sandwich was pretty standard. The restaurant was clean and pleasant. The counter girl complained loudly about previous customers leaving a mess.

On Memorial Day my sweetheart and I ventured in for some breakfast, I ordered the French Toast Breakfast Sandwich with added strawberry jam since the description reminded me of a monte cristo sandwhich, tho slightly different. It was delicious and sweet with a nice amount of meat, eggs, powdered sugar and syrup. The strawberry jam was sweet and really brought the sandwich up a notch, the sandwich was great on it's own tho so I didn't add much syrup. To drink I ordered a classic breakfast staple, a small Orange Juice, delicious! I would definitely recommend stopping into this restaurant yourself, they have beautiful artwork displayed throughout we enjoyed looking at, nice stained glass on the doors and the staff are very friendly and helpful! Especially our cashier, she gave great recommendations, it had been so long since I stopped in that I don't remember what I ordered. From the looks of it, they are definitely known for their biscuits and gravy and I can see why, I tried a bite of my man's and it's damn good, ordering next time! You can tell they make everything homemade here!

BLT, Meatloaf sandwich and a large salad.

Unbelievably slow. Nobody moves with any sense of urgency. They stand around talking giving the appearance that making your sandwich is bothering them. Ordered one muffin breakfast sandwich & one bagel breakfast sandwich, and took almost 30 minutes. The sandwiches themselves were just microwave trash. Small with cheap ingredients. I think this place is just trying to take advantage of the tourist. Oh well, live & learn. read more

Backroads is a great place to eat! I used to come here almost every Sunday after Church growing up and still go there regularly today. Though there are many things to choose from on the menu, I always get the jimbo. It's a great turkey sandwich with melted cheese and salsa. Think Santa Fe New Mexico style. The people are always so friendly and the owner, Sina, is a wonderful lady. The portions are big enough and the music is always rockin (Zeppelin and classic rock). Try out Sina's backroads cafe if looking for something new in Sutter Creek or if you need a standby standard to go to! In fact, skip the trip to Denny's this week and head on down to grab a Jimbo. You won't regret it! read more

We came in here while we were at Sutter Creek and when we went I changed from a medium to a large iced coffee with cream and vanilla and the girl made the medium which is no big deal I totally understand. No problem. But then she put the medium in the large cup and added nothing more than ice. No more coffee. No more vanilla. That's such a cheap place. This place is cheap and everyone looked at her while she did it and didn't say anything. read more

We had noted a special occasion on our reservation, but there wasn't really anything that made it feel acknowledged or special. We shared the skillet, and unfortunately it was extremely soggy. We literally poured liquid out of it multiple times. On the flip side, the lemon poppyseed waffle was a solid 10/10 and definitely the standout food item for us. I'm giving 3 stars because there's clearly potential here. The drinks were great, the waffle was amazing, and I do think this place could easily be a 5-star experience with more attentive service and a little more consistency in the kitchen.

We sat at the bar and received a friendly greeting from the bartender. I decided to try something out of my box and had the spicy cucumber margarita which I really enjoyed. For our light bites, we had the Bavarian Pretzel with the smoked Gouda cheese and it was truly gooda!! The pretzel was soft and chewy the way a pretzel ought to be and the cheese was yummy. We also had a cup of clam chowder and I thought it was so good! Kind of unexpected for a small restaurant in the foothills but it was cooked nice and thick with the right amount of clams. People next to us had this amazing looking gigantic cheeseburger that made me wish I was hungrier! I would definitely recommend!

Highway House Restaurant & Bar

A Pleasant Surprise with a Small-Town Feel…read more This one caught me off guard--in a good way. I was out with my family practicing for my daughter's driving test at the DMV up the street. We pulled up Yelp to find a good lunch spot, saw the solid reviews, and decided to give it a try. When we walked in, the atmosphere had that small-town vibe--simple, welcoming, and comfortable. The food was very good. The service wasn't polished like a Michelin star restaurant, but it didn't need to be. It was authentic and heartfelt, and sometimes that matters more. You could tell the staff cared about what they were doing. The place was busy, especially for the time of day we went, which tells you something. People come here on purpose. That says a lot. We were seated quickly, our order was taken without any issues, and the food came out in a reasonable time. When it hit the table, the portions were generous and satisfying. I wish I had taken pictures, but I was too busy enjoying the moment. If you go, post your photos--I'm sure the business would appreciate it. If you've followed my reviews, you know I don't give out 4 stars often, and 5 stars are rare. This place earned that extra star because of how it made me feel--between the food, the atmosphere, and the service, it just worked. If I'm ever back in the area, I'm definitely coming back for another meal.

Homemade pastries, family run…read morebusiness, my wife and I discovered this a few months ago, and have always looked forward to a trip into that lovely wine town, to first stop at this cafe. Amazing salads and sandwiches. Fresh fresh!! Quality ingredients, friendly people, best hidden little gem ever. Best cookies and scones, but you have to try the carrot cake!! Our waistlines aren't happy, but we are.

Extremely disappointed at Fig Barn. We were on a little road trip and wanted a quick and easy…read morebreakfast spot. We ordered the brownie, which was delicious but not made in house. All of their pastries are locally baked by others. The jalapeño popper sandwich was underwhelming. The bagel was not toasted enough, literally not a single jalapeño inside, and the egg was like a souffléd egg bite. Now, the carnitas breakfast burrito was literally so disgusting and salty, it was actually inedible. I am upset that we took our order togo and didn't eat inside, because I would have sent the burrito back and requested a refund. I ended up eating the pineapple that came as a side with the burrito for breakfast. To top it off, on my way to the bathroom when we were leaving, I witnessed one of the staff members handling a bagel with her bare hands (which is fine), she then took out her phone from her back pocket to check a text or something on it, put her phone back in her pocket, then proceeded to continue cutting the bagel she was working on. Bare hands, cross contamination, and no hand washing? Gross.

Gold Dust Pizza - Sutter Creek

Great tasting pizza located in the heart of Gold Country in the small historic town of Sutter…read moreCreek. The restart is in what looks like a historic turn of the century home that's been convert to a restaurant. There's a patio in the front and amazing backyard patio that overlooks Sutter Creek. The pizza itself is all quality crafted to perfection. The pizza crust reminds me of Strawhat pizza or Shakey's from way back in the day. I ordered a medium Gold Dust combo. On the menu the Gold Dust combo doesn't have a lot of toppings compared to other pizza places but all the ingredients they put on it works perfectly and they don't skimp on the toppings. It's really quality you can taste. The ranch dressing tastes like it's house made with the buttermilk you can taste and it's really thick. The ranch doesn't taste like commercially bought sauce from Sysco or any supplier. From Sactown it's just about an hour drive taking the hwy 16 Jackson road. It's well worth the drive just for the pizza. Best time to enjoy the outdoor dining is spring or early summer. Gold Dust combo pizza score: 9/10

The tuna was simple, I'm not even sure if there was mayonnaise in it. Served on sliced sourdough with red onion and cheddar cheese, i found it deliciously satisfying. The sandwich is stuffed with tuna and I could have ordered a half sandwich and it would have been enough to stuff my belly. My Hubs ordered the vegetarian sandwich with potato salad on the side. He finished his sandwich, which was stuffed with lots of fresh veggies and sliced provolone cheese. He enjoyed it to the last bite! We were split on the potato salad. My Hubs liked the sweet pickles and the freshness of the chopped celery added to the recipe. I prefer zero pickles in my potato salad, but still enjoyed a few bites. The texture of the salad was pleasing and the amount of mayonnaise was very balanced. The soup of the day was, chicken and dumplings. I was disappointed that I wasn't in a place to order a bowl to take away. Next time for sure. The service was friendly and efficient and everyone appeared to be enjoying their food choices. The satisfaction was evident by the smiles and customer chatter coming from the outside and inside tables. Good job!
