Stopped by Sutter Creek on our way to Volcano yesterday and decided to "give this restaurant a shot." My wife and I shared a special (smoked tri-tip sandwich). The sandwich was excellent along with enough fries for 2 teenage boys along with a pickle. A little pricey ($25) but there was plenty of food for both of us. Our server, I believe Jason, did a nice job in a packed restaurant at lunch. read more

Such a great place! Great quality food and warm, friendly service. I'd definitely recommend this pub! The burgers and sandwiches were amazing! Honestly, the onion rings were the best I've ever had! Overall, every dish is delicious and the ingredients are super fresh! The portions are huge but still reasonably priced! I always end up taking half home, such a great deal! I'll definitely be back! read more

Cool little bar and restaurant in Sutter Creek. Rey bust spot, town, can be difficult to find parking so get there when they open. We fortunately found parking right in front. I had the grilled cheese in sour dough bread. Comes with two kinds of cheese, bacon and fresh jalapeños (I had mine sans tomato). Melt gooey lots of cheese and flavorful. Had the fries which are delicious. Generous portions I brought half home, yay me for dinner later or lunch tomorrow. We also had the deep fried/batter dipped green beans as an appetizer; very delicious. Good atmosphere, prices consistent with other similar restaurants. Friendly service, good hot food and TV if you need to watch sports. Music, too, a tad too loud but ok. There is outdoor seating and dogs are welcome out there. Looking forward to going back and trying a burger which I hear are fantastic. read more

Wow! An amazing find! We were starving and craving a hearty meal! Cavana's delivered! I wanted a French dip and oh my, it was absolutely delicious! The meat was smoked to perfection. The bread was fresh and the au ju hit the spot. The garlic fries were loaded with garlic! So delicious! We opted for a regular salad to balance out our dinner, which was enough for the 2 of us! It was a busy Sunday evening but the service was excellent! The restaurant had bingo game night going on which was a lot of fun! Definitely coming back to try their other dishes! read more

Great find in Sutter Creek. We were just out exploring and decided to give Cavana's a try. We came in about 11:30am and were given a table right away. They were busy, but looked like the system they had going was working. Steady stream of people, in and out. We ordered a Pat's Package which was a drink with Absolute raspberry vodka and a Coors light back as well as a Draft beer. We had the appetizer platter ( chicken strips, fried zuchinni, fried artichokes and chicken wings) and the 49er pastrami sandwich with fries. Everything was absolutely delicious. The pastrami was excellent! The zuchinni sticks were huge! The wings were also really good. The portions were pretty big! Enough food to share and try a few differnt things. We would come back to Sutter Creek just to eat here again. Good service, good food, good value! read more

This is the first time my husband and I have been to this restaurant. And my first time in Sutter creek as an adult. One of the antique shops had recommended this place and I'll say it was a good one. We didn't expect it to be as jam packed as it was however it didn't feel over crowded and we came in and musical bingo was being held. Great songs that I think we've all forgotten at some point and i definitely added more to my playlist. My husband got to play in the last round and kept "bugging" our waitress Madi about how close he was to BINGO- he was never close. She was amazing and kept the laughs going and the drinks flowing. The food in and of itself was 10/10. We had an amazing time and will definitely be back. read more

My wife's chicken strips were over cooked to the point they looked burnt me and my sons hamburgers were so over cooked and were hard to eat and the server looked surprised because I asked for ketchup to add some moisture to the meat. Drinks were good and the service was good just overcooked food. read more

Date: Tuesday, November 11th, 2025 Time: around 5:30pm Party of: 2 Meal: Dinner *Main St Manhattan ($12) *Glenlivit 12 ($12) *Diet Coke ($4) *Sampler Platter ($27) *Louie Salad ($24) *Spicy Amador ($20) - Garlic Fries ($1) *Rare Whiskey Flight Special ($22) Google Maps put us on the backroads to get from Tahoe to SJ. The hubby and I didn't really eat all day, so I wanted to stop to grab food and possibly watch the Warriors and Sharks games. We were driving thru the middle of nowhere, but I found this sports bar / pub on our route. Street parking was easy to find. We walked in and were seated quickly. I asked the host if they were playing the warriors game. He said he could change one of the TVs to the game and I was so happy! Unfortunately I think it was on NBC Sports Bay Area and whatever service they had didn't have access to it. Such a bummer we were out of network. I think instead they were only playing college sports. (I believe we had the same issue with the hockey game.) I did bring my tablet so we were able to stream the game. Food wise, I was surprised. A louie salad? Yes please! It had a good amount of crab, prawns, etc. The app sampler was a nice way to try a few items. Came with crispy chicken, fried zucchini, artichoke hearts, pub wings, carrots, and celery. Drinks wise, everything we ordered was fairly priced. I enjoyed the rare whisky tasting with Blanton's, EH Taylor, Weller 12, Weller Special Reserve. A great random find. And in such a cute little town. REVIEW #3915 read more

We stopped for lunch after walking around this cute town. Sat outside to enjoy the afternoon. Our server was great. She had an awesome sense of humor and personality. She was on top of things and ensured our needs were met. Our table ordered the Smoked Gouda burger, smash burger with garlic fries, sweet potato fries and a regular House salad. These burgers are huge and were messy but tasted so good. The bacon was thick and tasty but hard to chew through so needless to say it didn't make the burger fun to handle. The patty's were seasoned well. The salad was a decent size and it wasn't overly dressed. I could have done with a little less Gorgonzola but overall good. Loved both the garlic and sweet potato fries. They are a perfect amount of crunch and taste. Look forward to visiting again read more

Stopped here on the way home from snowboarding in Tahoe on our way home to Sacramento and we are so happy we did! This restaurant/ pub is located in the coolest little antique strip of shops. I wish we were here during the day so we could have shopped around because it looked like a really fun area. The pub vibe right when you walk in was fun and alive! The staff were super friendly and sat our party of 8 quickly for a Sunday evening, and there was a music BINGO going on! We sat right next to the DJ Erik and it wasn't super loud. We bought 7 cards for $10 so that even the kids got to play and they loved it! Everyone at the table knew almost all the songs and it was a fun and entertaining way to pass the time waiting for food and something to do as a family while eating! Anddd we won! My daughter for a gift basket and my son won after they ran out of prizes but Erik went to the back and got him some candy so for a 7-year-old he was ecstatic! A perfect way to end our family trip. Now on to the food. One word, BOMB. I had a very hard time even choosing what to get because the menu had so many good classic choices. And all the food coming out the kitchen looked amazing, especially the salads! What we did end up getting and the rankings: Spicy deep fried green bean 5/5 Deep fried pickles 5/5 Mozzarella sticks 5/5 Chicken sandwich & fries (from my 13 year old) 5/5 Kids pasta (from my 9 year old) 4/5 Kids cheese burger (from my 7 year old) 4/5 Smash burger & onion rings (mine, classic burger well made) 5/5 Bacon burger (my husband) 5/5 said the meat was juicy, bun was crispy! And flavor was on point! We will definitely make this a regular stop on our trips to Tahoe. The kids loved it & so did my brother and his family. read more

Delicious juicey burger! The meat was high quality. The French Onion soup was the worst I have ever eaten. Soooo salty and very little onions and instead of Gruyrre Cheese (which makes a great bowl on French Onion Soup) a piece of Swiss Cheese was slapped on the top of the bowl. The Goat Balls (appetizer) were not a favorite at our table. And fill up your napkin & utensil can on the table. Very nice servers. read more

I've had a few meals at Cavana's while passing through Sutter Creek on the way home from adventures further north. The town itself is tiny but has a few locally owned, interesting shops and restaurants. Cavana's seems to be a locals favorite. I've never encountered a wait-even on a weekend. That could be because service is very efficient and prompt. Their menu has a good selection of salads, deli style sandwiches and burgers. Each visit, I've gotten the garden veggie which is piled high with sprouts, cucumbers, tomato, & avocado with a cream cheese spread. They add in some chopped walnuts for a nice crunch-unique touch. Portions are huge and food comes out pretty quick. Service is friendly and attentive with regular refills. It's loud and lively in here but is a great casual spot in Gold Country whether you're passing through or exploring the area. read more

The food is always delicious and most items are plenty big enough for two people to share. The wings with house sauce done Chelsea's way (grilled to get a slight char on the skin and caramelize the sauce) hit the spot every time. Their drinks are also amazing and they usually have two different alcoholic slushies on tap. Service was great and the atmosphere was perfect for a Friday afternoon. Can't wait to try more of their menu soon! read more

So happy we walked into this establishment. Drinks were cold and delicious. Food was even better. What a treasure. We had dinner but we want to experience their lunches too. So delicious. read more

Came here for lunch on a Friday. It was not that busy and we got seated right away. I ordered the half of pastrami sandwich with a garden salad. I had my sandwich on a sourdough roll instead of the marbled rye. I was very happy with the portion size at a very reasonable price. read more

This place is incredible. We wanted a good hearty lunch before heading back to the airport. This place was so satisfying, large portions of comfort food. Anything you get will be amazing and super kind staff in such a cute will hallmark town! read more

We started with the mozzarella sticks, which were good, though the marinara sauce was a little watery. The spinach artichoke dip, however, was amazing and definitely a highlight. For our main dishes, I ordered the little smash burger and it was perfect--juicy, full of flavor, and cooked just right. My husband got the smoked Gouda burger, which was delicious with amazing flavors, although it could have been cooked a bit more in the center. The inside of the pub is super cute, with really cool signs on the walls that add a lot of character. I do wish they would add different things on the menu. Customer service was good, though we did have to wait a while to get our tab at the end. Overall, great food and atmosphere. read more

Portion sizes are huge especially for the 8oz burgers. I ordered the cavanas patty melt and was cooked perfectly medium. I was expecting a little more flavor but the meat was still good. The garlic fries were generously coated with garlic that's for sure. I'd definitely come back to try other items on their menu. They provided friendly service and plenty of tvs to watch sports if that's what you're looking for. read more

I stopped in for a beer. Seems like the type of place that would appreciate business. As I was taking a seat at the bar, a customer was saying something about trying to order a beer. That was my fault for missing a red flag. So I'm waiting for a bartender to show. I meet the gent to my right. He's the one not getting his beer. Nice guy. Guy to my left is finishing a burger or something. Also a nice guy. Still no bartender. Then I notice that the bartender was there the whole time. He was just out on the floor chatting with a table. Kind of unprofessional, but he's coming back behind the bar. Finally I will get to order my beer! Not today my friend! He spins a 180 and GOES BACK TO THE TABLE where he just was and finishes whatever thought is burning in his head right now. Total and complete lack of professionalism. He was literally telling me, the dude to my right and everyone else that he did not give a damn about his customers. read more

I've been here twice now once like five years ago and this year. WOW the food hasn't changed. When I say best veggie burger EVER I mean it it's home made a delicious and huge. Also got the garlic fries for $1 extra worth it. Service was better once we were at the table just took a while to get to a table. They also have Sunday music bingo which I didn't know about till there that was fun. Very clean inside and cute location on Main Street. I have yet to find a better veggie burger in my travels. read more

This place has insanely good food! I ordered the ribeye steak sandwich, French onion soup and a beer on tap any everything was delicious!! I highly recommend! Prices are a bit higher but it was worth every penny. My mom ordered the smoked tritip sandwiches with garlic fries and tried their clam chowder. Her soup was a touch on the salty but her sandwich was so good. The smokiness of the meat to the bbq sauce, it was all amazing. Very large portions so come hungry! We had the pleasure to be served by Derek, who was extremely kind and very helpful. We can't wait to return. read more

Holy portion size!!!! Looking for a bang for your buck, come here. The food was to die for, I got the 49er which is a Ruben, piled with meat and flavor. Wifey got the spicy Amador, which is basically a spicy burger, loved it. We both took home half our meal, so don't think you're getting skimped out on the food for the price. Claire was our server who provided the best customer service, definitely ask to sit in her section. Football was on all the TVs, so this Sunday funday was done right! Def make a visit. read more

Hostess is too moronic to figure out how to seat 5 people. Sorry we had an odd number. We would have waited, but service sucked.

I like this shop and all that they have going on. It screams Sutter Creek in every way possible, and that's such a wonderful vibe. Good music, great energy, a full bar, and a vast menu of goodies. I have been at least a half dozen times, and I order something different each time. That's rare because I am such a creature of habit and I almost always have a regular menu item that I fall for. The fried zucchini is incredibly massive, and sadly, misses the mark. It's too big to get the zucchini cooked through, so when you bite into it, it's hot but not cooked. Great idea, but not so great on the execution. Buffalo wings are a must and they are fried to perfection, with that crunchy exterior, vinegary buffalo sauce slathered about. Delish!!! Goat Cheese balls are ridiculously good! Deep-fried in panko bread crumbs, with creamy goat cheese melting inside. Wonderful! BLT is the most massive BLT you'll ever order at any shop. Crispy, salty, fatty bacon with lots of tomato and mayo slathered on toasted sourdough. Delish!! We decided to try something different and it was not great and absolutely MY FAULT. The crab-grilled cheese sandwich is dreadful. Canned crab flavors that stick with you for a week kinda bad. Awful choice and again, I knew better, my wife knew better, but we were lit on V Day! Lol. The service is absolutely fantastic and we always have a great night when we dine here and I LOVE the energy, the vibe, and read more

Always a must-go when hitting our other favorite wine region. Can get busy, but the service is always quick and friendly. Made it here again on a quieter weekend for a Saturday night burgerfest. High energy vibe, great selection of craft cocktails, beer and wine. Extensive menu, but, again, went for the smoked gouda burger. 8 oz Swingle's fresh ground chuck patty,, double smoked pork belly bacon ends, smoked gouda, grilled mushrooms, garlic aioli on toasted milk bun. Need 2 hands on this monster. Cooked perfectly with a basket of crisp, hot nicely salted fries. The wings here are also like their burgers, sizable, juicy on the inside, crisp on the outside. Again, 8 is certainly enough for a party of 4, especially if you're getting another entree. As with most smaller towns, parking can be a challenge, but worth a visit to this rustic Amador County gem. read more

Our group of 7 stopped by for a quick adult libation on this warm Saturday. The place was hopping but they managed to get us set up right away. The place is decorated with lots of vintage signs inside and fun to look at. Service was great. I had a delicious Bloody Mary which had the works with it: sugar coated bacon, celery, onion, green olive, pickled string bean, pickled okra and a cute mini dill pickle. My other guests ordered a variety of cocktails which everyone enjoyed. We decided to order the Sampler Platter of appetizers and it was perfect since we weren't super hungry. It came with the yummiest fried zucchini which my hubby loved and this man does not like vegetables so that was a win lol. Also came with fried artichoke hearts, chicken wings, chicken strips and carrots and celery. Everything was great! I would definitely return to try some other menu items. read more

This is my second time to have a meal at Cavanas Pub and Grub and it did not disappoint. My sister was in town and We were wandering around Sutter Creek, I wanted to bring her to the Pub and Grub and hoped the food was as good as I remembered. I ordered a turkey bacon Cheese with fries and my sister had the Volcano half sandwich and a spinach salad. The salad was fresh and had a small fried goat cheese fritter which was a nice treat. The bread was fresh and a half sandwich was plenty. My sourdough bread was lightly toasted and the sandwich was piled high with fresh sliced turkey lunchmeat. Plenty of bacon and the lettuce, tomato, avocado and sprouts were all fresh. The sweet hot mustard finished the sandwich. The fries were crispy and hot. I ended up taking home half a sandwich because it was a lot of food. So for the price they don't skimp on flavor or portions. Our server was attentive and let me say the Pub was fairly busy but he made sure we were taken care of. He even brought me a little bag of ice so my sandwich stayed cool in by cool bag until I got home which was about a 45 min drive. The other staff were also attentive. This will be my new go to spot when I visit Sutter . read more

Sutter Creek can feel a bit limited on food choices from the visitors viewpoint. A group of us have stay in this quaint town for years now as part of our fall wine stock up adventure. Needing a bite (before 8PM, most places close around that time) we heading to try Cavana's on a Sunday night. It was starting to get busy because on Sunday nights they play music bingo. I highly recommend grabbing some grub and a cocktail and buying a few cards. It was a blast and we won a could of gift cards for our next visit. Playing bingo you will need a table inside, if that is too loud then there are a few on the sidewalk out front. Salads, sandwiches and burgers are on the menu. Healthy size portions too. I went with a delicious patty melt grilled perfectly on a marbled rye bread. Two to three napkins messy, it was that juicy, so be prepared. They offer plenty of cocktails and several of the local wines. It has a bit of the school pub feel, and was more locals that night than tourists. So you know if the locals are there, that's were you should be. Limited street parking. read more

HUGE sandwiches for a filling meal in Sutter Creek! We were recommended this spot by a local who said they have delicious sandwiches that are shareable, and she was right. We came on a weekend and it was packed inside but found a patio spot outside. Service was pretty slow because they were slammed, but friendly. Their menu is awesome, especially for sammies - they have cold/deli options, burgers, and hot sandwiches. We opted for the Ribeye Steak Sandwich and the Crab Grilled Cheese. Both were delicious, but I'd recommend the steak sandwich most! It was stacked high with meat and toppings galore. We split each sandwich between two people, and were glad we did! Prices are $14-$30 per sandwich depending on the meat type, but if you're splitting it's great pricing. We chose sweet potato fries and garlic fries as sides - there is a TON of garlic on those, so if you're not a fan, pick something else! We enjoyed them. Great filling meal in Sutter Creek! read more

We loved it here! Cool, lively place. Sports on the TV's. The food was great and the portions were very generous so prices are good. Our waitress was friendly and helpful. My friend and I lovedddd our bloody Mary's (Motherload). Good ratios and the bacon was cooking perfectly and it has a sweetness to it. We were all very happy with our burgers/sandwiches as well. Great flavor, cooked with a little pink like we asked. My friend has the Amador burger which she said was not overly spicy. The waitress gave her a heads up that the jalapeños they use are pretty spicy so she got them on the side and she was right! So my friend was able to add the jalapeños to her burger to taste. At our table we ordered regular fries, sweet potato fries, and garlic parm and they were all awesome! Cooked perfectly with a little crisp but not too much. Would definitely come back here! read more
