    I was meeting up a friend in Folsom, and this place was near her work and looked good from the reviews. I had dogs with me and they're very dog friendly. Their patio is pretty large, and since we were the only party in the patio, the staff allowed us to have them off leash. They also had a free dog menu for the doggos which they enjoyed. The staff were friendly and answered questions about the menu. I had their lobster roll and decided to sub my side for their potato salad, I asked if the potato salad was homemade and our server described the play by play on how they make it. I enjoyed the food and service.

    Walking up to the restaurant there is an outside area where you can bring your dog. It was windy the day we were there so sat inside. We met some friends who were already there but you have to wait to be seated. We were given food menus and told the specials. When asking about the drinks they were rattled off quickly so ordered something I heard. We ordered the New England Clam Chowder and split a Rueben sandwich with Sweet Potato Fries. Our friends ordered a Chicken Caesar Salad and the Gumbo. The chowder was not as creamy as we like it but there were plenty of clams and big pieces of potato. The meat in the sandwich was very fatty so had to pick through the meat. The sweet potato fries were great. Crispy on the outside and soft inside. The salad was good and gumbo was good and spicy. When we left we noticed we smelled like the oil from the fryer. The staff were very nice and always checked with us.

    Good food, especially the lobster roll. Staff was very friendly. Plenty of free parking. Interior has plenty of tables. We'll be back!

    This is definitely a hidden local gem in Folsom. It felt super mom-and-pop given their posted hours are approximate. They have prison-vibes given by the decor and menu, but it's not scary. They are located in the corner of a plaza with plenty of parking. They have plenty of tables with booths inside as well as bar seating. Outside they have a big patio with lots of seating there too! The names of the items on the menu are so creative. I got the Good Behavior $13.75, which was the black bean burger. It was so filling that I only ate half. I got a side of the clam chowder $4, which is made in house by the owner. She said it's eastern-style. It was not as creamy as I am used to. The Last Meal (lobster roll) is definitely a popular item. It is quite tasty.

    Onion rings

    Sat outside on the patio. Service was very attentive. We got the last bowl of clam chowder, lots of clams, thin broth, chunky potatoes. It's a very large bowl and comes with oyster crackers. The onion rings are enormous, a little greasy but tasty with ranch dressing on the side.

    Absolutely delicious watermelon- cucumber salad

    I'd have to say that I'm giving 5 stars because of the overall quality of customer service and the quality of food. I was reading some of the horrible reviews, and I think this is a family owned restaurant, and that one of the older ladies there, not the owner, has a developmental disability. It doesn't necessarily mean she's rude, that's her demeanor due to her disability. I've worked with young children, teenagers, as well as young adults to see the signs. Aside from that, owner/host reminds me of an auntie that's cooking for you at home. The name of the restaurant is awesome! It's very catchy! The decor may not be for everyone, but it's not about that, it's about what you're eating! The place is cool and they have lots of memorabilia that makes them or shows their personality, and frankly, I think it's cool! Ample parking, outdoor seating, with umbrella coverage, small mom n pop diner. Restrooms clean- and tables and area are clean as well. The sweet fries are so good with a distinctive BBQ, sweet flavor, and all their different dipping sauces are delicious. I was dipping them into all. I ordered the bean patty burger and my partner the double burger and chicken strips. The bean burger was so good. I loved adding the sauces inside. I also ordered the special watermelon and cucumber salad. Let me tell you- that is one interesting concoction. My taste buds were loving it, super refreshing on a hot day. The clam chowder was ok, I think it could use a little more umphh.. as in flavor, aside from that- I'd love to come back and try more. I thought it was very sweet, while waiting for our food, table next to us were celebrating a b day, and they brought out a slice of cake with a candle. Very cute.

    We've been here a couple of times and it was decent enough for a revisit. However, most recent visits my wife got food poisoned from clam chowder and noticed that they charge for Togo box based on percentage!! Wild!!! Imagine if you order $1000 worth of food, even if it's 1 item, your box cost will be $100 not coming back sorry

    Get this... lobstah roll! Worth the hype.

    That Dam Place is a local Folsom eatery. It is a simple sit down restaurant that serves up tasty classic American pub type food with an upscale flavor profile. It is a no frills eatery with a down to earth hardworking staff and chef. The local lore of their lobstah' roll drew me in. The food The review is a tad late. I dropped on in several times during the summer. I had the lobstah' roll. $25. On the menu it is called The Last Meal. The Dam Place entrees have a jail house theme name. Anyways the roll is fantastic. One of the best ever lobster rolls I have eaten. It is head and shoulder better than the Shark Tank food truck biz. The lobster is from Maine. The roll had chunky sized substantial pieces of fresh lobster meat. It was so darn flavorful. The meat is tossed in lemon, tarragon, and mayo and served on a grilled split roll. Mmm. Plus not only was it delicious, it was gorgeous looking as well. My other favorite item is not a regular menu item. It is a the pepper steak sandwich. I do not fully remember the menu name, I think it is called Gino's Gambino sandwich. I initially called it a cheesesteak and the waitress promptly corrected me. She stated that in Boston (where she is from) it is called a pepper steak, not a cheesesteak. Luv her Boston spirit, tough and direct but kind. The pepper steak meat was thinly shaved and juicy. It was good quality beef. Tender, well seasoned meat. During the summer on certain days, the local classic car club would display their cars in the parking lot. So that was an extra special treat on those days... dinner and a show.

    Been wanting to try this place out for a while. Their lobster roll did not disappoint & is absolutely amazing! I haven't had a lobster roll this good since Kauai over 10 years ago! Hubby thoroughly enjoyed his mac burger. Friendly & fast service & great food. We look forward to coming back soon!

    We found this little gem on Yelp. We ordered the clam chowder bowl and the The Last Meal - Classic Lobstah Roll and upgraded to the Misdemeanor Sweetie Fries. We came by after lunch but before dinner. It was fairly empty. Service was good, servers were nice. Ambience is like ocean theme diner.

    The Bob Dole
    Chuck M.

    This place is a gem. It was a bit hard to find but well worth the hunt!!! The food was off the chain. I had the Bob Dole. It was a grilled 6oz burger, made of brisket and short rib, all of their burger are, mayo, lettuce, tomato and 2 Korean BBQ glazed pineapple slices on a brioche bun. The sauce was sweet, tangy, with a little kick of heat. My choice of side was the potato salad. It was homemade with a perfect creamy dill taste. The service was awesome!!! The owners waited on our group and they were super friendly and inviting. The decor was interesting but do not come for the decor come for the food. It is well worth it!!!

    We were in the area for wine-tasting and we were craving fish & chips. Yelp led us to "that dam place!" What a creative name. Upon arrival, they seemed to have a prison theme to it, which didn't quite match the name of the restaurant, but some of the dishes had a prison-themed name. The restaurant is an open environment with quite a few tabletops. There weren't a lot of customers when we arrived for an early dinner, so we got to choose our table. They're located in a shopping center way in the corner. Service was friendly and efficient. Since we came there for fish & chips, that's what we both got! It came with 2 beer battered cod served w/ crispy fries, tarter sauce & lemon for $19.75. Hubby upgraded his plate to onion rings for $2 more. It was a bit pricey, but when our order arrived we were pleased to find 2 large pieces of cod! The fish was moist and tasty, and the batter had the perfect crispy texture. A squeeze of lemon on top added to the flavor. I had ordered an oatmeal stout and it went well with the fish & chips. This restaurant seems to be known for their lobster rolls, so I may order that the next time I'm in the area. Definitely worth stopping by for some good eats!

    Mmmm can you say Lobsta Pie. Great food great people. It is like hangin with old friends every time we go. Don't miss out get down there today. Oh and add an egg to that burger all you have to do is ask
