50 Best American Restaurants near Granite Bay

“This is what I would recommend as elegant dinning with attentive service. If you are looking for a place to impress your partner they set the standard for attentive service. From the time you enter to the time you leave it's all about you and your guests. Started out the "Ahi Tuna Tartare" then the "Slow Roasted Short Rib" and for dessert I had the "Ukrainian Honey Cake". The Tuna Tartar, with the Moroccan Spices stood out for me, this is not poke. But it was all about the beef. I have not had a better Short Rib anywhere else. Cook perfectly with good flavor on a bed of sweet corn with a splash of gravy. They have salt and pepper on the table, but if you feel a need to use, their is something wrong with you. Now the dessert, I took a risk with the "Honey", the word "Honey" just stands out as to sweet. You know the Winny the Poo thing. But it had a right balance with the berries and Chantilly creme. Went well with a fresh cup of coffee. Prices are reasonable. Remember your not just coming here for just the food, you'll be experiencing an attentive special night out. Enjoy.“

“We had an to Roy in Granite Bay and decided to try this since it was close by. So glad we found it! I love the atmosphere and location. Food was terrific and staff was very friendly. The Farm Bowl was delicious. My 12 year old can be a picky eater so thankfully there was a special of braised beef sliders, which he loved. Happy to recommend it. We need to come back for breakfast.“

“My daughter and I stopped by Bill Donuts! This place us very hospitable, amazing people. Family owned vibe. Donuts where delicious and baby loved the donut holes! 💕 I even forgot my wallet at home and they didn’t have Apple Pay and they let baby girl have our order 🥹 not everyone can do that nowadays, meant a lot definitely will be back! Owe em $10 😂👌🏼“

“Love my neighborhood Susies Cafe. Eat here regularly. Friendly staff and quick service. Having Christmas breakfast today. Try the Eggs Benedict! Yummy!!“

“First time in earlier this week. I came in with a hankering for pastrami but their Italian Melt was too tempting to walk away without! I loved it! Salami, Capocola, Prosciutto, Mortadella, Housemade Marinara, Melted Provolone ( I opted for pepper jack), Onions and Pepperoncinis!!!! I'll be back for the pastrami though too. Count on it!😊“

“Everything we had ordered was very satisfying. It was fresh, delicious, and perfectly seasoned. A lot of flavor. The patties were fresh and did not taste like they were frozen and stored. The mac and cheese was so so so good. I will definitely be back to try more on the menu.“

“We love burger &cream! We have been eating here for 7 years now. Staff is always friendly and i believe the owner is really kind (if thats who i talked to)“

“Awesome food and their staff goes above and beyond.“

“This place is a true gem! My husband and I have ate here twice now and we have NOT been disappointed. Our first time there he ordered a burger of some sort and I got the grilled chicken sandwhich in a lettuce wrap. Both were absolutely delicious. Our second time around he got the pesto crepe with fries, and I got the Mediterranean crepe with salad. We both agreed that my crepe was better, despite our love of pesto, but both were good. The fries and salad hit the spot as well, mostly because their ranch dressing is fantastic. Prices were definitely reasonable. I look forward to trying other things on the menu. Whether you want savory or sweet there's something for everyone!“

“Never have been here and was pleasantly surprised. Good food, friendly staff. Keep doing what you’re doing“

“Highly recommend this place! Food was delicious and service was amazing. Great beer, seafood and steak! 🫶 we loved it 👍“

“great food. great customer service“

“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.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Gold Miner Café is hands down one of the best spots around. The food is absolutely amazing, fresh, flavorful, and made with love. The service is just as impressive, warm and attentive from the moment you walk in. The owner, China, is one of the hardest-working people I know. Her dedication and passion shine through in everything she does. She and her team go above and beyond to create an unforgettable experience every time. If you haven’t been here yet, you’re seriously missing out. This place is a gem, run by incredible people and built on heart, hustle, and quality.“

“Favorite spot in Auburn 💕“

“Been here twice so far. Both times the experience was great. The staff is great. Servers are great. Food is great. Had a real good time. I plan to visit again, definitely. If you're anywhere near her, I would suggest stopping by for some good eats.“

“Pleasantly surprised.....in the heart of Palladio in Folsom is a restaurant that caught my eye, Back Bistro. Today I made a stop just after 3pm, what a find! Happy hour everyday from 3 to 6pm. Great selection of happy hour appetizers and drinks. My favs were the Tequila Sour, Ahi Poke Wontons, Philly Cheese Steak Sliders, and Cajun fries. Limited but good beer specials as well. Great bar service, good value and specials, see pics. The place does not disappoint. I am definitely coming back.“

“Great food and great service! Yum! Emma was extremely personable , helpful and happy. Emma made our dining experience the best! Our dog Doc loved her too! Thanks Emma“

“Wonderful time celebrating a friend‘s birthday over Saturday brunch! The atmosphere is off-the-charts beautiful, and the restaurant and staff are just lovely. Crabcakes Benedict on homemade biscuits, and the spring salad with chicken were just wonderful. Props to our waiter, William! He hunted down a candle for us for the warm brownie sundae for the birthday girl, which we devoured before poking around the plants, pottery and gift shops. Can’t wait to go back. Love this place!“

“Amazing food and service... every time“

“DELICIOUS! Best French Dip ever! Highly recommend! Large portions with a friendly efficient server! 💖“

“All of the staff very friendly and helpful.“

“Had a great time at Bjs in Roseville. Our waitress was Alyssa she made our night.“

“Best Veggie Omelette ever anywhere. Just hear for a wedding and always look for a local spot. Amazing fresh fruit with my omelette and I asked for Light Butter on my toasted Rye and that is exactly what I got. Would definitely go back, may go on the way out of town in 2 days.“

“My “go to” for breakfast in Auburn for over 30 years. Great omelette and also a short stack.“

“Great food, great service!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Good Food and Excellent service/Staff“

“Good food and service prices are kinda high. 2 burgers and 2 drinks for lunch $57.“

“great service & food affordable too so glad to have a wonderful option in this area“

“Breakfast with my sister and our friend, everything was delicious.🥓🍳🍞“

“This is a small local Auburn business. The owner cooked the food for us with a smile and great customer service! Came here with kids, and they loved the burgers, too. The price is a little expensive, but it's worth it. Got pickled fries. you must try if you are adventurous. Free parking on the back, and great sitting indoor and outside. Great jewel of Aulburn!“

“The wings with classic hot sauce were on point and the wedge salad was huge. Great outdoor atmosphere and tons of open seating. I'm sure the inside will be fantastic when it's all finished. Friendly staff and an easy ordering process.“

“I think this is a nice hidden gem in Roseville. The atmosphere and decor is great and the place is clean. Though I'm still wondering how the hundreds of toothpicks are impaled into the ceiling.
The price was better than most burger restaurants and the tomato/vegetables was very fresh.
The Squeeze Hotdog looked amazing and everything tasted great (not too salty either).
Will definitely visit this place again.“

“We had the best time eating out at Red’s. The service and the food was excellent and we felt so welcomed. Thank you all.“

“Great food, service, and atmosphere“

“The food is great seasoned perfect and the service was great friendly and professional .“

“Just had my boys rehearsal dinner at this wonderful location. The banquet room was perfect for the 23 people that were at the dinner. Jennifer, the owner, was very easy to deal with and was very attentive to my family and guest. Erica, the server was super and made the evening flow perfectly. Oh, by the way the food was also very good…wow. Thanks Jennifer for you and your staffs great service. “I will be back”“

“Excellent service. Great sandwiches.“

“Great place for a cheesesteak outside of Philly!!❤️😋“

“My partner and I found this place on a whim when our plans unexpectedly changed. Now we can't get enough! We drive over 40mins to get their chicken strips with fries often. They are the best we have ever had! The flavors are amazing, the ketchup here is to die for, and there is hardly anyone inside, so it's generally on the quiet side.
Vernon Street Grill and Deli deserve all the business Sacramento can give them!“

“The strawberry shake was I believe was vanilla ice cream and strawberry jam. Not good, a short cut that's not worth it. Biscuit was strange, hard at the lower part and just seemed it was frozen and then thawed and had strange flavor. The sausage in omelet has a undesirable flavor. Best if they would use new York brand or a good American type sausage. The potato salad was good but had a strong off flavor. And too much mustard. I was given in a bag a napkin, fork, knife and spoon, two name brand jams, butter that was just right.
But no salt or pepper. And again only one napkin.“

“Love this place! Been there three times for happy hour and last night for dinner. It was awesome. The steak that I had was better than Ruth Chris for about half the price. Definitely our favorite place for dinner, and happy hour!“

“everything, the bowling good food and the dj on Friday nights“

“Nice little place with a simple interior whose walls are lovingly filled with pictures of customer's mothers. Welcomed in and treated so kindly by the staff. Pancakes were wonderful and the hash browns were cooked perfectly, not burned or raw anywhere. Really made us feel warm and at home.“

“A well run Applebee's. Clean site, we were greeted immediately and our table was waiting for us even though not all our party had arrived. Our dinner selections were deliver all at once for our large group and they were hot, not cold. I really like the pay terminals at the tables and booths. No waiting for a server to pay and that allows the servers more time to meet your needs.“

“Did you know there are but TWO Barnes & Noble Kitchens in the world? Folsom is so lucky to have one of those two! Honestly this is the best place for brunch on the weekends, with plenty of patio space, DELICIOUS food (their crispy potatoes are sooo addictive), and of course, surrounded by books and magazines to enjoy. Don’t walk, RUN here for brunch. You’ll thank me for it ?“

“Me with husb love Land Ocean and come here all the time. It’s our favorite restaurant because the food is always delicious, and the atmosphere is great. The staff is friendly and unobtrusive. I always order my favorite dish, the Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl, which is amazing. The desserts and cocktails are also top-notch. I think this is the best place in Roseville. You should visit and see for yourself!
Guys you are the best, thanks for your excellent work! ?“

“Got right in, sever was prompt with taking our drink orders. Once we got the drinks she got our food orders. My son ordered the Wolfman Jack breakfast and asked for french toast instead of the pancakes. He was told they can't do that. He has my had that done on previous visits there? That's poor customer service. I ordered salad as a side. Got it two minutes before the entrees came. More training needed there. Had iced tea. Never was asked for a refill. Other than that the food was good.“

“We love the crepes here! The green salad is great with the balsamic dressing!“

“1st time trying them today, and wow!!! They are awesome, delicious and fresh!!! Highly recommend“
