I have literally eaten 10,000 or more burritos in my life, and never had a bad one. Each one a glorious, tortilla-wrapped affirmation that life is good. Until Riley’s. What they handed me wasn’t a burrito but more of a dare. Imagine three sad slices of flank steak, each the size of a dollar bill, lounging in a pool of nacho cheese like they’d given up on their dreams. Then someone rolled it all up in a tortilla and charged me $19 for the privilege of disappointment. I used to think ruining a burrito was impossible. Riley’s proved that with enough indifference and a deep commitment to mediocrity, anything is possible. Bravo.
They didn’t even bring me napkins or a fork. Riley’s, I salute you for the memories.

Out of the way upstairs, my wife a native to Folsom did not know it was there. Good food for lunch, wife had half salad and I had chicken sandwich. Both very good and reasonable portion. View from outside deck was nice to watch the bustle of Sutter street

I miss hacienda. The second time this has happened here. We were sat. What seemed like 10-15 mins passed. No water. No greeting. We ended up just leaving because we never received help.

Cocktails were inventive and very tasty! Unfortunately, when I ordered my food and cocktail at the same time (thinking the food would be slower) the food came out first but I didn't even have my drink yet. Blackened salmon tacos with mango-Jalapeño salsa and Jalapeño honey slaw had no heat at all, and taco shell was so soft I couldn't pick it up. Had to eat with a fork. Food was really a basic 3, but waitress Sam was delightful and cocktails were yummy. Soooo... depends on what you are looking for as to whether I would recommend it.
Came to $48p without tax or tip for two cocktails, two tacos and a handful of chips.
Location is nice, upstairs with an outdoor patio with a great vibe, and very near Folsom Lake.

Wife came for lunch today . Old town Folsom is very cool but can be touristy, so we didn’t know what to expect as many restaurants in tourist areas aren’t that great and don’t rely on repeat business.
Wife had the Philly and I had the blue cheese and bacon BURGER Bowel! Never heard of this but it was awesome ! Burger was perfectly flame charred with great flavor and nice sized. With no bread or bun just as filler. This meal was perfect and Wife enjoyed her Philly.
Bartender was very nice and attentive. It was nice and cool inside on a warm day, but they also have patio seating. Just a great and friendly place. First time here and we’ll definitely come back soon as we’re only 20 mins away.

Riley’s on Sutter isn’t just a restaurant – it’s a place overflowing with heart, soul, and genuine connection. Back in December, my family was dining there when the owner came over and shared his story behind Riley’s, a tribute to a beloved Labrador who changed his life. He took the time to truly connect with us, and we left thinking, “Wow, this guy is different. He cares.” Fast forward seven months, and I reached out to him with a heartbreaking story about our extended family’s red fox lab, Wrigley, who we lost suddenly and tragically. I hoped he could do something small to honor Wrigley, but his response overwhelmed us. He listened deeply, reacted with empathy, and went above and beyond to honor this pup in a way that brought us comfort and healing. Riley’s on Sutter has now become a special place for our family to gather and remember Wrigley.
Beyond the incredible kindness of the owner, the food is phenomenal and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. We’ve interacted with several staff members, all of whom were exceptionally nice—and yes, they all seem to be dog lovers! I even joked with one employee that it must be a job requirement. Thank you to everyone at Riley’s on Sutter for creating such a meaningful and memorable place. We are forever grateful.

It's a great little hole in the wall place with surprisingly good quality.
The bbq burger was amazing, the food high quality and the misters on the outside deck were a god send during this summer. If you see this place go in for a meal you won’t be disappointed.
