The food has gone downhill. The chicken was dry and the wait for both a table and to receive the food was crazy. Portions seem to have shrunk as well. There was a table close by that was clearly being over-served drinks and was very loud. No one in our party was particularly happy with their dishes. We even skipped dessert. read more

We had dinner here and ordered the famous bacon jam burger. The sweet and savory flavors mixed perfectly and the side of fries was super crispy. read more

Decent food at a "somewhat" reasonable price. $20 for two carnitas tacos which were sizable. Nice atmosphere and good food selection to choose from. Staff super friendly and helpful. read more

Staff are always amazing just like the food. I love the quaint, cozy vibe. We've never had a bad meal!

A standout experience from start to finish! We dined at Chef's Table and were absolutely blown away--not just by the food, but by the service, the drinks, and the whole experience. Our servers, Archie and Brahm, were phenomenal. Attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable without being pushy, and genuinely warm throughout the evening. They made us feel welcome and taken care of in every way. We started with the Pesto Fries, which were unreal--crispy, cheesy, and packed with fresh basil flavor. Total must-order. For entrees, we had the Pan Seared Scallops and the T.C.T. Peach Burger. The scallops were perfectly cooked with a beautiful sear, served over rich fried smash potatoes and a smoky cherry tomato beurre blanc that we could've eaten by the spoonful. The peach burger was such a fun surprise--grilled Twin Peaks peaches, applewood smoked bacon, and balsamic glaze gave it a sweet-savory balance that worked incredibly well. It's not your average burger, and that's a good thing. As for drinks, we tried two of the cocktails and loved both. The Whistle Pig Old Fashioned was strong and smooth with just the right citrusy twist, and the Blackberry Jalapeño Margarita had the perfect balance of heat and sweetness--refreshing with a subtle kick. Chef's Table nails every detail, and Archie and Brahm really took the whole evening to the next level. We'll absolutely be back--and we're bringing friends. Highly recommend! read more

Ok...let's get straight to the point, get the "secret menu" item PB&J Burger. It may sound...weird...but don't worry, it'll be the best meal you've had all week. The sweet and salty are perfect, and you'll need extra napkins cause it'll be dripping juices everywhere. The service was nice and the ambience was causal bar type setting. They have a full bar and TVs with the game on. Thank me later. read more

Great food and service. Will definitely go back again. It was my husband's birthday & they sang to him

top tier food and service! we found this place on a whim while staying at a hotel across the street for a concert. their burgers are fire, their hospitality is excellent, and their service is top tier. i realized one of our fries orders hadn't come out yet, so i asked about it. the waiter came back out saying they'd comp it for free because they hadn't put the order in. we were shocked that they took the initiative to do that on their own without us even complaining about the wait. we will definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a great place to eat surrounded by great service who truly treats their customers equally with friendliness, patience, and respect. thank you, chefs table, for an awesome experience. read more

The Chef's Table - pastrami reuben egg rolls $17 - New American Near Me - Rocklin, California

Great neighborhood location. Great friendly upbeat vibe. Everyone is friendly. They are a team and help each other out. There is no reservations. Go early. They are popular. Drinks are fantastic and the food is rotated seasonally with staples left on the menu. It's an experience. Be patient and just relax and enjoy yourself. My favorites are: pastrami rolls, pesto fries, Caesar salad add chicken. Mary's southern fried chicken, simple charcuterie is perfect and tasty, the burgers, yes! The French Dip All the Risotto's are yummy and special seasonal dishes. Do not forget the bacon brownie dessert. Best Martinis in town! Espresso martini is special too! They know how to make a drink and take the time to make them. Great beer and wine selection Worth the wait. read more

Stopped in for lunch on a Wednesday and it was fairly busy. The interior of this place is a confusing train wreck. The kitchen and the bar are located in the center of what looks like two spaces that have been combined. This layout creates limited table seating on both sides and at counters facing the kitchen and the bar. Boxes of food, paper products and kitchen supplies are stored under the bar and in racks on both sides visible to customers. Although the place seems clean, the hodgepodge placement of supplies makes you feel like your sitting in a supply/store room. Service was excellent and friendly. The list of beers on tap was abundant as well as wines and a full service bar offering craft cocktails. The menu is an eclectic mix of pub/bar food and dishes you would expect to find in an upscale fine dining establishment. The food presentation and flavors were surprisingly good, but over the top. For example, a peanut butter and jelly, bacon, cheese burger, that is smothered in melted peanut butter and beer battered fries covered with pesto and Swiss cheese. Put your cardiologist on speed dial. It was a unique experience, but not for everyone. read more

Oh man, where to begin. My wife and I make it a point to schedule our travels west on highway 80, that allows us to stop here for lunch. The food is always so delicious and the staff are always accommodating. I love how relaxing the environment is, especially knowing that the food tastes like what you find in a pretentious high scale restaurant!! We don't have to worry about whispering at dinner while enjoying the delicacies of this restaurant!! read more

INCREDIBLE service, food and atmosphere. We were in town for the Canyons Endurance Trail runs and found The Chef's Table thanks to all these amazing yelp reviews. It's popular with the locals. Once you enter it seems like everyone knows each other ... big smiles and hugs from the staff to the patrons. The food is absolutely delicious ... we started with the beet salad which was perfect. 3 different types of beets - red, golden (which were pickled) and a pinkish/purplish one on a bed of fresh arugala lightly dressed with olive oil, lemon and pepper. There were also thinly sliced apples (galas I think) that brought extra crunch and sweetness. SO SO GOOD! we also have the Brie, bacon fig jam burger which was so tender, juicy (it's a 2 -3 napkin type of burger) and flavorful. It comes with a huge dill pickle halve to cut through the richness of the burger. It's memorable ... order it! Got a side of the fries (no pesto and cheese as I knew the burger would be rich) and they are crispy, potato-ey and addicting. we also had the korean short rib and pork shank. Both tender (no knife needed) and flavorful (though very different profiles). We wish we could have gotten dessert, but it was before race day. Bummed about that as I imagine the dessert must be excellent based on what we sampled. had to get a signature cocktail though :) Ordered the blueberry houle and it was light and refreshing. The blueberries were fresh and sweet. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Water refills were fast (didn't have to ask) and people checked in on us/the meal to ensure all was A-OK. It was a very smooth, genuine, well organized and ran kitchen. Will be back!!!! read more

WOW, we finally went here for dinner. It was my wife's and My 36th wedding anniversary. We have been wanting to try The Chef's Table for a long time, but we're scared off by the no reservation part. I am sorry we waited so long. Our "official server" was Nicholas, but we were checked on and assisted by 4 other employees during our meal. We had pesto fries, beet salad, beef short rib, and mushroom pea risotto. And for dessert we had the bacon brownie with salted Carmel and Vanilla ice cream. Everything was excellent. Oh ya, I did not even mention all of the craft beers and signature well drinks. The restaurant is upscale, but casual at the same time. Overall all, we had a very nice evening to celebrate our anniversary. Nicholas and the rest of the staff were definitely worth every dollar and then some of the tip. We went early so the wait was not that long. I would be ok even if we had to wait an hour for a seat because this place was that good. We will definitely be returning. I will also be getting a gift certificate to give my son and wife to enjoy this wonderful place. Thank you again Chefs table, you and Q1227 are my top two restaurants, but service at chefs table is #1 read more

A hidden gem that completely blew us away! We stumbled upon Chef's Table not knowing what to expect, and wow--what an unforgettable experience. From the outside, it's charming and unassuming, but the moment the food hit the table, we were absolutely floored. Our server, Nicholas, was warm, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience feel special. The scallops? Easily some of the best I've ever had--perfectly seared and melt-in-your-mouth tender. The peach burger was such a delightful surprise--sweet, juicy, and bursting with flavor. And the short ribs? Fall-off-the-bone perfection. Every bite was cooked with so much love and skill. If you're anywhere near this place--go. It's the kind of spot you want to tell everyone about, but also kind of want to keep secret for yourself. read more

Walked in (no reservations taken) and was told there was about a 30 minute wait. Walked around the parking lot to checked out the other stores, and just as discussed- 30 min to get a table. What they do not mention tho is that it's about 10 minutes to take your order and about 45 min to bring your food! So you are sitting there for another hour with no food. Our waiter (Asian guy) and his teammate were super nice but..... when you have a kiddo with special needs - a 30 min wait for a table and 60min wait for the food is too long. The actual food was ok - my fried chicken was overdone and dry. My daughter loved her filet mignon and sauce. Not sure I would go back given the mediocre food and the 90 minute wait overall. The waiters and check-in guy were all super nice and friendly but stressed as the kitchen backs up all. read more

Still one of the best dining experiences ever. Our server Nick was fantastic with his suggestions and service. We had the recommended specials. The mussels were OMG good. I had the short ribs which were amazing. And the others had the peach burger. Also amazing. And a filet. Cooked to perfection. If you're in the area. Do NOT miss a chance to eat here!!! read more

Menu changes slightly due to local availability of ingredients (my thoughts in looking at recent history of menus) Food - top notch, top quality, and flavor. Ala carte, so a $21 burger is just the burger. But, oh, what a burger.... Burger, with fig jam, was the best burger I have ever had. Rib meat, brisket, chuck roast ground 'burger' meat was the most flavor ever experienced in ground hamburger meat. Like right off the farm, fresh, flavorful, melt in your mouth likely 1/3 to 1/2 pound. Topped with a subtle sweet bacon fig jam, smooth triple cream Brie, mustard aoli, and crisp arugula. All on a whole grain bun with one half of a giant pickle on top of the bun, then stabbed through the heart with a large steak knife. A meal when paired with a starter for the table of $10 beer-battered crispy pesto fries and angel hair swiss cheese. Not soggy like most garlic or pesto fries due to the care in assembly and fresh ingredients, not some store bought wet pesto. Yep, this burger and fries deserved the time to write this. Local sourced Beet salad, $17. A nice light meal for the vegetarian in your party, but I want this next time. Red beets, fresh and flavorful. As was the arugula, golden beets, chioggia beets, asian pears, etc. A couple of bites convinced me this is a must try someday. Very pretty dish, great presentation. Southern fried Mary's chicken breast with bone in leg. $27. Baby (true babies) carrots on the bottom, next comes mashed potatoes, then the chicken and bacon gravy lightly topping off the top. Bar $8 craft beers are all good, ciders too. Fabulous mixed drinks about $14 are well presented just like the food. Staff - top notch casual, too casual if you ask me at these prices. I go to BBQ's better dressed. I can't think of anywhere so casually dressed. Not even Taco Bell. Otherwise, as stated, top notch. Ambiance - American bar restaurant, strip mall, clean but basic bathrooms, 2, gender neutral). No decorations, nothing unique, nothing fancy. Very bust at 1700 on a Friday evening, 45 minute wait, no place to sit (small bar was full), outside sidewalk (no place to sit) was typical swarms of mosquitos due to all the rains. Inside was wall to wall people, glad flu season has wound down.... Overall way above average food, high price, in a too casual atmosphere. Will go again for next years birthdays or special occasion. I have to try that beet salad.... Food 5 star, minus 1 star for ambiance. You have to try this place at least once. read more

I will admit, I was skeptical about the food at first.. if there's any advice I would give about coming here -- run! Don't walk. The food was spectacular. I was impressed from the first bite. The peso fries came out first. And this is a definite must have. Fries were crispy, and doused in a pesto seasoning topped with cheese. Who doesn't love cheese?! Literally licked my fingers as to no waste the flavor by wiping it on a napkin. The risotto was also made very well. Everyone at the table enjoyed it. And they certainly didn't skimp out on the portion size. My overall favorite would have the be the steak bites. For about $5/pc they better be an amazing bite. And that they were. The complexities of all the flavors was *chefs kiss* the tamaato, grilled lemon, and garlic. I'm already drooling just thinking about it. 1000% must have read more

Delightfully, The Chef's Table is exactly as advertised: delicious, gourmet food in a casual unpretentious environment. It feels more like a nice sports bar, with elevated food. Service was casual but highly effective. We tried some apps and had two entrees, and everything was lovely: fresh, rich and flavorful. The avocado hummus was great and the grilled corn off-the-cob was my favorite thing overall. I couldn't stop eating it. Highly recommend this spot for a casual, comfortable but impressive feast. read more

One of our favorite spots!!! I highly recommend checking them out. Amazing food and amazing atmosphere.

(Yes I know the photo isn't the best) but this burger was absolutely amazing. At first I was hesitant to order a PB&J burger, but somehow they made it work so extremely well. The peanut butter and jelly complimented the burger and made it have that perfect sweet and savory combo with the peanut butter they used being super creamy. I would definitely come here with friends for great drinks and even better food!

Amazing food so good but service super slow and I felt like everything was loud! I think you should come.

i haven't written a 5 star review in what feels like months.. but the first one after a dry spell absolutely goes to the chef's table. where do i even begin? the service was a 12/10. when we first walked in, Quinton instantly greeted us and explained the wait times (honestly, so worth the wait). our servers Paul and Brahm were so friendly -- they made us feel like family! then don't get me started on the food.. because i'll just be upset the meal is over LOL. we started with the caprese; such fresh mozzarella and tomatoes with the perfect drizzle of balsamic reduction. we also got the pastrami reuben egg rolls, and wow, they had so much flavor packed inside. if i had to choose one last meal.. those egg rolls might be it. we then got our entrees and they were delicious *insert drool emoji*. the bacon brownie, yes, you read that correctly, just checked all the boxes for a delicious dessert. other positives -- there's tons of parking, which is always a plus. they also played such fun music. they also have an excellent menu; something for everyone. a wonderful dining experience overall, and i cannot wait for my next meal at the chef's table! read more

I waited two weeks after using TCT's internal feedback email on their website twice. I never heard back so I'm posting. Hopefully, this was a one off for them. Service and staff were very good. The cuisine, unfortunately, was the complete opposite. We almost never return plates, but we ended up unable to eat any of our four entrees-- filet and risotto over salted--pork chop dry and short rib fatty and too salty as well. I was so surprised and disappointed since I've never had a bad dinner there! The waiter confirmed our complaints and took entrees off. Then they placed comp'd desserts in to-go boxes for us. Very considerate! The problem was we discovered it was left over bread pudding from St. Patty's Day! I really hope we just got an off night, but I don't see us returning. read more

Went around 6pm and the place was packed. It's cozy and inviting. Everyone was friendly and engaging. Wait time was somewhere around 30-45 min.

5-star on service (the staff culture of this business is a 12 on a 10 scale) and 5-star food. There are already so many good reviews on Yelp for this business, but I spent my first visit here amazed. If you own a business and/or manage people come in see how optimal customer service looks. It's a really special moment at The Chef's Table - a "moment" that has survived ownership changes, a pandemic, and a bunch of other challenges that owner/operator Eric (say hi to him when you visit) has led his team through empowering them to make everyone feel special. As I sat here for dinner with the clock just passing their official closing time, a couple walked in and was received with "I'm so happy you are here! Let me get you a table" from my server Nick. Gracious, warm and engaging defined the entire staff. And the food! I had: Pesto fries Braised Short Rib Stroganoff Bread Pudding for dessert Old Fashioned All were ACES. Do yourself a favor- go to TCT and have one of the best meals you'll ever have. The. Go back again. read more
