    Great atmosphere, good food, friendly and helpful staff! Will be back for sure next time we are driving up hwy 16 to Lake County.

    Tri Tip and Brisket. Coleslaw was good but not a fan of the Beans

    We went there a few years back but this time with the new owners oh boy best BBQ around. Still has the quaint rustic atmosphere and easy to ride on our bike (Harley) from CLO.

    Brisket, ribs, coleslaw, potatoes

    Had an incredible experience at Rustwater Kitchen & Taproom in downtown Fairfield. From the moment…read moreI walked in, I was welcomed with genuine hospitality by Paul behind the bar. Super personable, great energy, and made the whole experience feel effortless. I ordered the peanut butter and jelly burger--smash-style patty with bacon, peanut butter, jelly, Tabasco, and pickles--and wow... one of the most unique and satisfying burgers I've had in a long time. It hits that perfect balance of savory, sweet, and nostalgic. I asked Paul what he would pair with it, and he absolutely nailed it. He introduced me to "Chimp My Ride" from Solano Brewing Company, a rich stout with chocolate and peanut butter notes that complemented the burger perfectly. It honestly brought back that childhood lunchbox feeling in the best way possible. On top of that, Chef Jamie personally brought out the food and took the time to connect--great conversation, great presence, and you can tell there's real pride behind what they're doing here. The vibe, the style, the food, and the people all come together here. Easy five stars. I'll definitely be back.

    Some of the best dining experiences aren't planned, they're discovered…read more With the thermometer climbing to 103 degrees, the Spain vs. France World Cup semifinal kicking off on the big screens, and a craving for an ice-cold craft beer, I wandered into Rustwater Kitchen & Taproom, a downtown Fairfield favorite that's been serving locals since 2017. Within minutes, I knew I'd found exactly where I wanted to spend a hot summer afternoon. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between neighborhood tavern and craft beer destination. Vintage bicycles hang overhead, dozens of rotating taps line the wall, and the energy is lively without ever feeling chaotic. Whether you're catching the match, meeting friends after work, or simply escaping the summer heat, Rustwater has that welcoming vibe that makes you want to stay for another round. Following the bartender's recommendation, I ordered the Chicken Ciabatta from the specials board with a side of crispy tater tots, and it was absolutely the right call. The sandwich arrived beautifully presented on a perfectly toasted ciabatta roll with just the right amount of crunch. Inside was juicy grilled chicken layered with smoky bacon, melted provolone, crisp lettuce, ripe tomato, and a flavorful pesto mayo that brought everything together without overpowering the fresh ingredients. Every bite delivered a wonderful combination of textures and balanced flavors. The tater tots were exactly what great tavern food should be, golden, crisp, and light on the outside with a fluffy interior. They became downright addictive when dipped into a combination of ketchup and a Ghost Hot Sauce that once they are out they are out adding a slow-building kick that complemented the crispy potatoes perfectly. As I enjoyed a cold pint from their outstanding rotating tap list, Spain put the finishing touches on a 2-0 victory over France, sending them to the World Cup Final. Great soccer, an exceptional craft beer, and a fantastic lunch, it doesn't get much better than that on a scorching summer afternoon. Rustwater has earned its reputation over the years, and it's easy to understand why. Friendly service, an outstanding craft beer program, elevated tavern food, and an atmosphere that invites you to linger long after the final whistle. If you're looking for one of downtown Fairfield's best spots to enjoy creative tavern fare, explore an ever-changing lineup of craft beers, and catch the big game, Rustwater Kitchen & Taproom deserves a place on your list. I'll definitely be back to see what's on tap next, and without question, those crispy tater tots will be making another appearance on my table with the ghost hot sauce, if still available, due to the company going out of business.

Road Trip Bar & Grill has a real, down to earth feel the second you walk in. Nothing forced, just a solid spot with character. The tribute area really stood out to me. You can tell it actually means something and wasn't just put up for looks. It adds a lot to the overall experience. The food is what brings you back. Everything tastes fresh, like it was made with care. And those jalapeños... I still think about them. Fresh, good heat, and they make everything better. It's one of those places you're glad you stopped at and end up wanting to come back to.

    We have lived in the area for many years. And have stopped in to get a bite at Road Trip Bar and…read moreGrill periodically. The services was generally ok but not always. The food was usually why we came back. We enjoyed the theme of the place but found if you were not a regular, some of the staff ignored you as a customer. We accepted those shortcomings as we liked the place overall, but... On December 6, 2025, my spouse and I decided to grab some lunch there. It was fairly busy, but got a table right away. Our server was a woman we had dealt with before. She was usually attentive and kind. We placed our orders and were watching some college football on the big screens. After about 20 minutes, our server said she was going on break and our food would be out soon. After several more minutes a chunky blonde server brought my wife's food out and said mine was on its way. My wife noticed her fries were cold but her sandwich was fine. My sandwich and fries arrived a few moments later. It appeared to have over toasted bread on top. I turned the sandwich over and the bread on the underside was completely burnt. I had to wait several minutes for the chunky blonde server to get her attention, as she was deep in conversation with what were probably regulars across the room. When I finally got her attention, I told her that I could not eat the sandwich as the bread was charred. I showed the burnt bread to her. She made no comment, but took my meal to the kitchen and came back to say I could wait for the cook to make another sandwich. I told her that my wife was almost done with her meal and I didn't want to wait another one to be made, as it had been over a half hour since we had ordered. After my wife had finished her lunch (yes she offered to share) our original server came back aware of the issues and apologized for the problems. Her comment was, "that sandwich should have never left the kitchen." She said she had taken the cost of my meal off the bill and left it for us to pay. We made our payment for my wife's food and tipped for that. We never made a big deal about the issue, but I just didn't want to eat burnt food. On our way out, the chunky blonde server and what appeared to be the cook stood by the entrance to the kitchen looking at us. She was apparently eating the burnt sandwich. They both laughed and she said thanks for the free food, it is great. We did not respond and continued out the door. We were definitely angry and disgusted by the behavior, but glad we did not have them make more food. We will never be back to the Road Trip Bar and Grill again!

Three Mile Brewing has emerged as my personal favorite. Tucked away back off the street adjacent to a small hidden courtyard, Three Mile Brewing has a calm, quiet, secluded feeling right in the heart of downtown Davis. Perfect for putting the world on pause while taking a moment to enjoy some beers. & the beers are tasty. To my taste, from what I've tried, overall, Three Mile Brewing makes the best beers in town. & very important to me, they serve taster pours/ flights. While I may occasionally have the full pint of a crisp lager, I prefer smaller pours of bigger beers. Service has been friendly, informative, & attentive. At this point, altogether, I've tasted well over a dozen of their beers. Just about all of them have been good to great. For tasty beers & some tranquility in downtown Davis, Three Mile Brewing is where I'm going.

There were a couple other events taking place, but it did not take away from my friends birthday Celebration. The staff was great, there was a particular bartender who was super sweet. I just loved her vibe. I wish I would've caught her name. She gave me a compliment on my outfit. I was so busy enjoying the event. I did not get a chance to order a drink at the bar per se, however, I did have a glass of champagne that was brought out to celebrate my friend and toast her for her birthday! I did meet the DJ who was super nice, I feel like he's my new friend!

When we left that night my daughter did t use 2 of the tickets and we asked 3 different people if the tickets can be used at a different time at the creekwalk of course. Nobody had an answer we just got I don't know. I even asked the security people when exiting the park. So tonight July10th tried using the tickets and they said no. So we just lost $20 in unused tickets. That's a rip off and very bad business. I even tried emailing asking if the tickets can be used at a later day which nobody has returned my email after 3 weeks. I always support small business this one will never get a penny from any of us again. Shame on you.
