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.

My wife and I went here for a late dinner and beer after watching a play. We got there around 945pm…read moreThe staff was wonderful and very friendly and helpful. Lots of smiles and helpful, considering this was our first time there. My wife loves ciders, and they had several on tap, and they let her try some, and man, were they good. She finally chose one, and I had a light Ale, which, of course, they had lots of on tap. Fantastic selection. The food was over the top and very good and fresh. My wife got the steak nachos, and we shared a mac & cheese balls with pulled pork appetizer. I had the Chicken Caesar salad. Very yummy. The place was clean (so were the bathrooms), lots and lots of tv's and really just a great place to go. We will definitely go back, according to my wife and I.

We were going to sit at a table in the back, but there was a fly issue in that area so our server recommended we sit near the entrance which we did. I found it interesting that our server commented "you will be dealing with those flies all afternoon if you sit there" as if joking around, but I didn't think it was funny. We started off with the brown sugar bourbon wings. They were nice and hot when we got them, but the flavor of the rub left a bit to be desired. The burgers were good. I got the sweet heat bbq burger, and honestly it was more sweet because I didn't pick up any heat. The fries were okay. It seems like an alright spot to grab a beer and catch the game. I didn't have any beer, but they do have a nice variety of choices available.

This past Saturday was my first time coming out to this establishment in downtown Suisun city. I've…read morebeen to other businesses near this place, and it's always been a great vibe. 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! I definitely wanna go back now that I know exactly where this place is located in enjoy it for myself no matter if there's another event or not!

We visit the creekwalk every Friday and every event at Andrew's Park in VV. 2 weeks ago my daughter…read morebought 4 tickets from the craft and cork booth. 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.

Great leadership shows, and it definitely reflects in the exceptional service throughout the bar.

We placed the order and paid first. Paying included leaving the tip first as well See photos for what was ordered. Our order took quite a bit of time, but we weren't in a hurry. The wings were hot, well seasoned and juicy. I really enjoyed them. The waffle was not too thick. I can order it extra crispy next time. I always appreciate being greeted when I enter a restaurant and thanked for coming when I leave. I feel valued as a customer when this happens. Both happened here. Thank you! I will return

It was just our party in the venue during that time, a combination of kids and adults. There were plenty of tables for all of the snacks we brought, including pizza, spam musubi, and cookies. My bf and I purchased drinks from the bar while there. The staff was helpful and friendly to our group the entire time. They even explained how to use the simulators, as there were lots of buttons on the floor and a variety of options for play. This included match stroke, driving range, putt putt, box crush, island hop, mushroom bump, foursome, scramble, and more. The kids had a blast playing pretty much everything, while the adults engaged in a variety of simulated golf matches and driving range. The staff guided the adults through some of the features like replay in slow-mo... guests can even connect on golfjoy.com. Also, loved the automatic golf tee that rises from the ground with the ball ready to hit. The arcade in the back offered plenty of pinball fun too, mainly newer machines. We enjoyed our time here and appreciated them accommodating our large and crazy party.

She was super friendly and I told her we were waiting for Kevin for a golf lesson but I'm way early and he wasn't there yet so I took a look around going from front to back and I must say, it's bigger than it looks. It seemed like a very relaxed atmosphere. I love all the golf reference movies and shows on the wall....so retro. They have a small rec room in the back with arcade and pinball games as well as the simulators up front. They had pretty interesting stuff going on such as golf lessons as I mentioned earlier and I saw fliers for a pinball tournament. Kev got there early too and took my son right away. They do have clubs to use should u need for the lesson. Kev started with his stance and worked his way to holding the his club the right way. It was only a 30 minute lesson but might do a whole hour next time. After his lesson was done, well, my husband was late picking us up but as we were waiting the bartender asked if we wanted water. I thought that was nice of her. I'm not sure about food as I didn't order any but will definitely be back. Thanks Fore Play.

I'd like to give them 6 stars but the unpredictability of the food truck being present is not in their control. Still TRY IT, you'll like the vibe and the beer! Unless you think you're royalty.

On the evening of the incident, a group of coworkers and I went to the Filling Station after having…read moredinner together. Earlier that evening, we had stopped at the Filling Station for drinks and did not experience any issues. The bartenders were friendly and kindly helped us. When we returned after dinner, several of us were seated outside while a few coworkers went to the bar to order additional drinks. While we were waiting, an unknown male walked directly toward our group. He approached the only male coworker seated with us, placed both hands on his shoulders, leaned in, and said something into his ear. The man then walked away. After the man walked away from the table, we asked our coworker what he said, and he told us, "If you leave another empty glass on my table, I will kill you." My coworker appeared confused and stated that he did not know the individual. As the man walked away, another coworker and I stood up and asked what had happened. The man continued walking away without responding. At that point, two women who were nearby began arguing with members of our group. During the verbal exchange, one of the women pushed my coworker. Prior to this interaction, the same women had instructed my manager to move over on the bench as soon as space became available. Following the verbal and physical confrontation initiated by the other party, a bartender from the Filling Station directed our group to leave the premises. The other individuals involved in the confrontation were not asked to leave and remained at the venue. Our group complied and walked across the street. From that location, we observed several patrons and staff from the Filling Station pointing in our direction and laughing. A short time later, we observed one of the bartenders walk to the unknown male's parked vehicle, move the vehicle to a parking space adjacent to the Filling Station, hand the keys to the male, and the male then drove away. Law enforcement responded to the scene, and a police report was taken.

I love meeting friends here, but it's also one of the few places I genuinely enjoy going by myself because I always end up running into someone I know or meeting someone new while sitting at the big bar. The staff always makes me feel safe and welcome, too. They're always hosting fun events, it's a great place to watch sports, and I love that I can bring my dog along. I know some people are disappointed that Rotator is now required to be 21+ with the addition of wine, something many customers had been been asking for over the years. The owners are parents themselves, so I imagine this wasn't a decision they made lightly. Families with younger kids still have several great brewery options nearby. If you're looking for great beer, wine, friendly people, and a welcoming neighborhood hangout, it's hard to beat.
