The Sawmill Restaurant & Ale House

Thoroughly enjoyed this casual burger joint!

Things we loved:
- There is a great outdoor picnic area with lots of space for adults and kids.
- Food was super tasty
- Gluten-free rolls were available
- staff was super kind and helpful

Things we would change if we could:
- a bit more shade outside would be great!
- the dishes came out at really different times for our larger party. Not a huge deal, but it is sometimes awkward if your dish comes out when your neighbor is just about done eating theirs. Good thing we were all good friends so no one cared much.

Waitress is very personable and accommodating. Food is always delicious.

Staff is very cool, atmosphere is great... but the food is disappointing and overpriced.

Matt was awesome!

Awesome, friendly service.

Gorgeous restaurant where every dish is a hit and the staff are some of the friendliest people you’ve met.

Amazing experience! Food was amazing! Service was also incredible! Valarie is the best! The dry rub wings 10/10 the burger 10/10! Garlic fries are the real deal! Really great beer selection! Come check it out if you’re here!

There food is amazing and the wings were the best I've had in a VERY long time!!

Our waitress was so kind and attentive, she kept checking in to see if we were happy with our experience and I really appreciated it!! The food was hot and fresh, and there were also great drink options! I will definitely visit again if i happen to be passing through! We ordered cheese curds, smash burger(great dill pickles) and a portobello burger which had great toppings!

Vegetarian options: A fantastic portobello mushroom burger with great toppings! The blue cheese was high quality!

This place was cozy, cute, and WARM!
Cute set up and wonderful staff. My partner ordered a smash burger and onion rings, I ordered a Jr burger and garlic parmesean fries. The burgers were great! The veggies seemed so fresh and had that beautiful crunch that they should have. The pickles were yummy too, crunchy and pairing well with the burgers. The parmesean garlic fries were topped with parmesean cheese and minced garlic, SO DELICIOUS!

Great local eatery! Great outside venue. Live music in good weather. Great place to meet my local friends, and anyone else passing through the area. It is very near to my home, which makes it a 5? Except that, I just took the final steps to a plant based diet, no meat and dairy. I will be exploring their veggie offerings and hoping for something novel and delicious.
While their meat is very high quality, meat is meat - some of their dishes are a heart attack on a plate. Lumberjack fries - oh lord, help me. Addictive and so incredibly greasey.

Still no sweet potato fries... Still no traditional cider...
I'd be there every week if they had a cider I could drink, with a side of sweet potato fries, ranch, and a big salad. I ask and ask, and taste test every few months. :( They are convinced their cider is top notch, but ... it isn't for me, a long time drinker of ciders for many years before cider was trendy. Decades before this drier is better thing 🤦‍♀️. A few bottles in the back of the cooler - I would spend 5-6 bucks on a cider I cud get for 2, just to enjoy my very local eatery, a stones throw from my house. 🙏

This place is located in Boulder Creek mountains where you can smell the clean air of the Redwood trees. Love it🥰 The food is great and the staff is friendly. The menu has many options, so I will definitely return.

Parking: Not a whole lot of parking spaces, but there is also a park across the street where you can park too.
