“WOW WOW WOW!!! Absolutely delicious food and great service! There were six of us and we all ordered something different off the menu and we tasted and shared everything and it was excellent…… I would not consider this to be pub food……. it is exceptional! I wish they would open one in El Dorado Hills!!!“

“Excellent high quality food made fresh with love!!! Everything is amazing, with my current favorites being the salmon and fried chicken!!!“

“As always, fantastic! The food is consistently wonderful! The espresso drinks are delicious. Dessert is fabulous. We enjoyed the grilled salmon entree, terriyaki skirt steak, pistachio cake and Carmel gelato. So glad they have non-alcoholic beer. Looking forward to the new summer entrees the Chef is preparing to introduce.“

“When I first moved to Sacramento, this is one of the very first places my aunt and I discovered well, she discovered it first, anyways, it's become such an etched entity in my brain. I will never forget this place. I don't go as often as I would like, nor as often as I did before, but in all respect it is one of the best places. It's a hidden gem. Most definitely the name says it all. And by such crazy circumstances, my aunt actually works there Now. She's one of the bartenders, Go figure. But most definitely if you are in Sacramento and you're just wanting to go out for some nightlife but casually this is the spot. Karaoke is amazing! Super fun. So are all the people. It's more diverse now than it was before, But you have to understand word of mouth now so people do show up! I love this bar. I really do. They do a lot of potlucks as well. There's not large amounts of food that is available there but they will on occasions have the hot dogs going. They have a wonderful bloody Mary Saturday and I say wonderful and that word does not do it justice. They are amazing but you'll have to find the actual Saturdays that they are available. Trust and believe you will not be disappointed after coming here. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Great Team!! The Bartenders Are Great“

“Nice neighborhood bar with several pool tables, 2 dart machines and a few pinball machines. Its no longer Johnny's club 53 tho. There's a new owner and it's now called Time Out Tavern. Pool tournaments every Thursday night at 8pm.“

“ALWAYS and I mean ALWAYS a good time here at The Office.Looking for a strong pour this dive bar is your place to be. I drink to celebrate life not escape it. Up for a challenge in a game of pool? Or just hang out with friends, new and old, all are welcome. You won’t be judged for day drinking either. ? ? Staff are friendly and attentive. ? iykyk“

“If you are looking for a Swanky place this is definitely NOT the place you are NOT downtown paying 15 dollars for a drink. If you're looking for a great place to get a great drink at a great price this is your place. If you act like a tool tben you get treated as such....if you are laid back you get treated as such.“

“Sometimes the best memories are the unplanned ones. What started as a spontaneous date day adventure led us to the charming streets of Historic Folsom, where we stumbled upon Plank’s Craft Kitchen & Bar — a rustic gem with just the right mix of cozy and cool. From the moment we walked in, the hospitality was impeccable. The service? Flawless. Our server was on point from start to finish — warm welcome, perfectly timed courses, and not once did our glasses go dry. Everything flowed with such ease, it felt like we were regulars. Drinks first, because priorities: • The Lake Lennon was a total hit — crisp, refreshing, and that subtle hint of cucumber was chef’s kiss. • The Strawberry Gimlet was almost too easy to drink. Sweet, smooth, and gone in the blink of an eye. • The Bees Knees packed the strongest punch of the three, but when I asked for a splash of lemonade to mellow it out, they happily brought it over — instantly elevated the whole experience. Appetizer: We went with the cheese curds, and let me tell you, these weren’t your average bar snack. Lightly crisped on the outside, gooey on the inside, and paired with a homemade marinara that deserves its own spotlight. I genuinely contemplated licking the bowl. No shame. Main Course: We split the Cali Club — and it was everything. Super fresh, balanced flavors, and not a trace of that questionable chicken you sometimes get in sandwiches (IYKYK). The tater tots were golden and perfectly crunchy, and the trio of dipping sauces (chipotle, ranch, and ketchup) were clearly house-made and next-level tasty. In short, Plank’s delivered big time. Whether you’re planning a night out or just happen to wander in like we did, this place hits all the right notes — delicious food, creative drinks, and stellar service. We left full, happy, and already plotting our return.“

“I went to the pantry on Saturday and I cannot stop thinking about me experience!
My server Madison was not only so kind and attentive, she was amazing. Her energy was so genuine. She was on it! She made sure me and my family were well taken care of. It was genuinely the best server I have had in such a long time. I will definitely be going back to the pantry just because customer service like that is very hard to come by and on top of that she was so busy but still managed to make sure we had everything we needed
The pantry just earned loyal customers my family cant stop talking about the service and hard work that young lady put in Definitely 10 out of 10, and thank you to the pantry
All of your staff is amazing, will definitely recommend to all my friends and family“

“Delicious food! Cooking it ourselves was cool too, but was getting frustrated that our grill got replaced 2ce for every serving. Like the grill just got to temp and seasoned, we just wanted to cook 1 serving all the way through before he made us swap,. i know yall wanna keep it clean, but relax a bit yall lol. Still amazing place, definitely going back“

“My husband has played live music here the past two Wednesdays service was great I loved the spaghetti!! He had the lamb chops and said they were fantastic!! Can’t wait to go back !!“

“everything i have had here is delicious Nd authentic. keeping me coming back time after time. highly recommend if in the area. fair oaks ,ca“

“Chill spot with a cozy vibe — perfect for a slower dinner or catching up after school events. The food’s solid, the live music’s a nice touch, and it feels more grown-up than the usual fast food run. Overheard some parents chatting about college costs… someone said UC Davis just isn’t worth it anymore unless you’re going for vet school. With that price tag? Kinda hard to argue.“

“La Popular IS a total vibe!!! The atmosphere is so eclectic, cozy and chill! Next time you are able to stop in be sure and order the Spicy K!! Spicy Margarita with jalapeño served up!!! You can thank me later!“

“They have Karaoke on Wed which was really fun. This BLT was to die for. Triple Decker with Avocado and I had them put the Jalapeño on the side. Shoestring fries were yummy. My friend got a burrito that was less than stellar and totally different from the menu description, she liked it though. The interior is big and has a stage right in the middle. It was hot outside but inside was cool and comfortable. The stairs were the biggest drawback lol.“
