Was looking for a place to have a beer after a bit of shopping and came across this restaurant…read more Gotta say it did not disappoint ! From entering the restaurant we were promptly greeted from the friendliest staff. We asked for outdoor seating in the little patio area to soak up some sun. Our waiter Austin promptly came to our table and suggested a few beers. Since I couldn't decide, I went for a flight to try a few. One of my favs was a sour too bad I can't remember the name. We got the Asian fries as an appetizer and they were delish ! Perfect crisp and toppings. We'll def be back when in the area. Great service from Austin ! Always checking up on us to see if we needed anything and enjoyed the small talk.

The Old Rasputin was ice cold, the tri-tip French dip was absolutely phenomenal, and the fries were cooked so perfectly they deserve their own diploma. My service dog (APBT) came with me, and the staff couldn't have been kinder or more welcoming to him. They treated us with respect, which I genuinely appreciated. My only complaint? This place is PACKED. It was so loud I accidentally became emotionally invested in three strangers' conversations. At one point I think I attended someone's family reunion, witnessed a fantasy football draft, and learned about someone's divorce--all without leaving my table. The food and beer are so good they've officially outgrown the building. Either expand the place or start offering complimentary earplugs with every pint. for the food, beer, and hospitality. My ears, however, are still filing a noise complaint.

Back Door Bistro, Vacaville: 2026 Jul 10 (4.29 of 5)…read more Ladies Gathering!! The service here is a 4.5 of 5. We had different servers who attended to us and they're both friendly and looked cheerful. We got there towards the end of Happy Hour and was presented with their Happy Hour menu. The menu is small, easy to read and has almost everything we'd want for that time of day - including the drinks. The food is a 'hit' or 'miss'. Here's my review: Drinks: Both the Arnold Palmer and the Cadillac Margarita were good. My lemonade tea wasn't overly sweet and I could definitely taste the lemonade. The pitcher of Cadillac Margarita looks innocent but may give someone a slow and powerful buzz if you're not used to the drink. (4.75 of 5) Charcuterie: This a complete appetizer board. Overall, there were some hits and misses, however, we agreed this is a well thought out appetizer board. (4 of 5) Crispy Brussels Sprouts: This is the best dish here, featuring deeply caramelized, dark golden-brown edges and a nutty, earthy flavor. Their Crispy Brussels Sprouts is also the best we've had. The seasoning is on-point, allowing the texture to show off its crackling, crunchy bite on the outside, contrasted by a tender, melt-in-your-mouth interior. (5 of 5) Seasonal Tacos: "Oh WOW!" The explosion of spicy and tangy flavours balanced by contrasting textures makes this dish "pop". (4.75 of 5) Beet Salad: The colours were lovely, but this beet salad was over-salted. The vibrant dish featuring beets as the main ingredient, balances the earthy sweetness with contrasting textures and flavours. If this wasn't too salty, it would have been more refreshing. (3.75 of 5) Coconut Lime Bouillabaisse (halibut, jasmine rice, spinach, snap pea, pickled shiitake mushroom, coconut lime broth, basil oil): Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought Bouillabaisse means seafood. The only seafood we noticed were chunks of halibut, which were delicious. This dish looks and tastes more like an elevated Thai soup dish that cost too much. (3.5 of 5) After walking in, we decided to sit outdoors because of the loud music that was playing. We're glad we did. The overhang on the veranda was well positioned with plants and flowers softening the cement walkway. The weather was pleasant - with a gentle breeze blowing down the corridor. Parking is easy if you arrive early enough. One last note: Back Door Bistro in Vacaville was featured on "Check, Please! Bay Area"

I'm not so sure about this place. I walked in and it reeked of pesticides. It was so strong I…read morealmost didn't even want to purchase anything. But I needed a quick sugary drink. I ended up waiting. The cashier rang up my one item that was $3. I paid by card and noticed my receipt was over charged by $30! I notified the cashier and he gave me the money back. I don't know if it was honest mistake or what, but had I not gotten and looked at my receipt, it would have gone unnoticed till I checked the bank. Between that and the strong chemical smell, I don't think I'll be coming in here again anytime soon. But If I do, I'll update review if things change in this shop.

They charge 60cents even when i told him it's a debit card and not a credit card, the guy behind the counter, sat there and argue with me about it, I'm so sick and tired of these places taking our money behind our backs! FIGHT BACK I'm filing a lawsuit with all my receipts. I have accumulated overtime. I've sent a memo to the Better Business Bureau, and I'm also reporting them to the IRS.
