It takes a lot for me to rate this low.. but the entire experience just was not good.45 minute wait. When we finally get seated, and I wish I took a picture, the table cloth was filthy. Took 10+ minutes before we were greeted or acknowledged. Another 20 before drinks came out. My minestrone soup was lukewarm at best and the plate it came out on had food splatters all over it. Not saying it was "dirty" but come on guys...take 5 seconds to wipe plates before you bring them out of the kitchen. My entree, which was the garlic steak sandwich, was the exact same. Presentation was horrible and it tasted like yesterdays steak. It was so chewy and literally just thrown in between two pieces of bread with nothing else . I'll also add that the table "bread" we got was the same exact bread the sandwich came on...basically just a toasted hoagie roll split in half and thrown in a basket. Really??Our server, who's name I don't think we ever even got, she was so all over place and didn't seem to know anything about how the menu worked. I guess we didn't either. My dad ordered the salmon and we were both under the impression it came with a starter, baked potato and ice cream based off the way the menu described things. Wrong. Which is fine, but a little compassion or gentle explanation would have been nice. My dad is 80 years old, we haven't seen each other in over 6 months and he was really excited for this dinner. When we asked about the sides and the ice cream our server was so rude and she made my dad feel stupid. I also overheard our server saying similar things to a table next to us. So maybe the menu needs to be worded better? Idk.Just really disappointed. Maybe it was just an off night for everyone but I don't think I'd go back. My dad used to own a restaurant back in the 80s and I'm in the industry myself and we were both just really bummed over the entire experience.$106 would have been better spent somewhere else.The second star is solely for the hostess that was working last night. She was a sweetheart and rockstar.

1st time visiting Club Pheasant. Called for a to-go, was told 30 mins. When I got there, I could tell by the way the actions of the hostess (she was very nice) the order hadn't been placed. When she came back I straight up asked if it had been forgotten. She didn't lie to me and I appreciated that. Said it'd be about 10 more minutes. I asked if they'd be willing to put a discount (10%) on it, she said they didn't charge me for garlic bread *they hooked it up on the bread*. And offered me ice cream, which confused me because the dinner option comes with ice cream. However...I personally understand forgetting to ring in an order, I have done it before...stuff happens.By the time I got home it had been an hour since I had ordered.My food was very hot when i got home. I liked the texture of the lime beans but not the flavor too tangy for me.The meatballs came sauceless and were dry, not impressed.As for the ravioli, that was exceptional!Overall I want to give it a 3.5 but can't.Mixed feeling after my experience but I'd like to go back and try some other things.

An historic tradition over several generations, slated to close se its doors at the end of 2922, we came to bid one of our last farewells and toast to a birthday ? Hoping to see a Chili’s in the future here if we’re lucky!

This was our first time here and I understand why they are closing. I ordered the steak sandwich rare which was supposed to be a filet. It was not rare and not a filet. I received a well done slab of some kind of beef that was no more than1/4" thick and had absolutely no flavor at all. Server was pleasant but service was terribly slow.
Rick Harmon
Food is not all that good. Tasteless. The waitress we had should not be working there. If I were you, go to MC Donalds. A lot better place.

Walked in to this restaursnt noticing spiderwebbbs everywhere. Had their famous ravioli wich I wanted to try before they closed for business. 87 years in the restaurant business is no easy thing to do. You can tell they are at the end of their rope. Ravioli was horrible and sauce was watery. Maybe the cook was upset for the server putting on the ticket "make it now" I might give the garlic steak sandwich a try but maybe not. Disappointed
Mark Lee
To start if you intend on going here make a reservation at least a day in advance or prepare to wait even up to 2 hours. We did a walk in at 5 and got seated at 6:30. The food was delicious and included the prime rib special and fried ravioli. The server was superb, attentive, and accommodating to our toddlers. This was our first time and the general populace of customers were seniors. Supposedly closing at the end of 2022, so visit if you can.

Had lunch there last week. Ordered the garlic steak sandwich and fries. My daughter ordered the same. I will never go back. The steak has no flavor at all. It’s the bun with a garlic spread on it. We had to add A-1sauce to eat it. We never add A-1 unless no flavor in a steak. It was tender, I will give them that. The fries had no salt or seasoning at all on them. They were not good. Ordered a margarita and it comes in a big tall glass, it was all mix, had to send it back. I did not order a different drink after that. If you want a great big steak sandwich go to the Virgin Sturgeon. That is my favorite place for steak sandwiches. I was told they were get here, but I don’t agree at all. They are 20.00 and the steak is super thin. Was very disappointed. Drove from Elk Grove to get there.
Had been going there since back in the 60s. Pretty much the same interior look and feel. Like most places it's slipped a bit. Still the best ravioli around and their house chicken options still hold up. The bar is well stocked, well maintained and well staffed. Worth a try for traditional italian.

Being semi-regular customers, we were super disappointed with the prime rib last Friday night. It was gray, like it was microwaved and the meat was close to being mushy..not tender, mushy

Took the family out for a birthday celebration. The deep fried ravioli and zucchini took minutes to receive which may suggest they were frozen then microwaved. Good though. Their steak sandwiches are always delicious along with their house salad dressing, but their so called minestrone soup was primarily liquid. No noodles, peculiar tasting and only a couple chunks of onion. The club pheasant special with ground hamburger topped with ravioli was a disappointment. A small hamburger patty with some ravioli on top. The ravioli sauce was a bit runny. I had their chicken cacciatore with polenta ($33). Horrible! Two very small pieces of chicken that could have been little chicken thighs with the worst, odd tasting watery mushroom sauce I’ve ever eaten and I can’t even begin to describe what foreign seasoning was used. The polenta was tasteless and lumpy. Not like my Italian grandma made it. Oh, and the vegetables consisted of very thin string beans that were cut about three inches long. There were about six of them on my plate. The service was excellent. I’d like to add that four generations of our family have gone to the Pheasant Club and the food has gone down hill and their prices are too high. We’ll be back though for their steak sandwiches.

Great local place to visit, whether it be for a drink in the bar, which offers full menu service, or a nice sit-down Italian meal. My go-to is the steak sandwich. I love their fried raviolis too!

Tonight my husband and I were excited to try a Sacramento staple. I made a reservation for his birthday here and upon doing so asked about the prime rib. The individual who made our reservation asked if I would like for them to put prime rib aside, I was pleasantly surprised by this offer. My husband and I made the 20 minute drive, arrived, and waited at the hostess station 5 minutes before being greeted by the hostess. Upon contact with us, without saying anything else she promptly said "we're too busy tonight"... I mentioned that we had a reservation and she said they couldn't seat us. She then suggested that we could try to find a seat in the bar and we "might" get served. Needless to say, we opted out of giving them our business. We are compassionate about understaffed restaurants and wouldn't have minded being told that service was slow, but to be turned away with a reservation is completely shocking. I've been in the industry for a long time and the way this was handled is nothing like I've ever seen. My husband and I are both disappointed in our experience. Can't say anything about the quality of food, but services (at least hostess) needs some work.
