    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.

    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

    Smash burger with garlic fries
    Julie M.

    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

    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.

    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!

    Pub burger, fries and Turkey sandwich.
    Marisa N.

    Been twice in the last month! The special smoked tri tip sandwich was a 10/10. The burger, and turkey sandwich, which we had today were both huge in portions and excellent in taste and quality. The fries are some of the best we have ever eaten!

    Smash burger, Gouda burger
    Madison T.

    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.

    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.

    Bingo

    Always a nice treat. Tonight (Sunday), they had country bingo. Fun! Enjoyed the entertainment, food and service. Highly recommend! Way better than Sutter Hotel Food.

    Half cedar salad and half turkey sandwich
    Nina L.

    Big portions and friendly service. We came for lunch on a Friday. I ordered the strawberry lemonade vodka slushy to beat the heat. Had the half Cesar salad and half turkey sandwich. The half sandwich was huge and delicious. The Cesar salad wasn't too heavily dressed.

    Garlic fries and Cavana patty melt
    Eric K.

    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.

    49er aka Ruben
    Packy F.

    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.

    Bloody Mary
    Gina S.

    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.

    What time is happy hour 🍻?

    Is this an actual sports bar that shows all the nfl games?

    We play the regional games broadcast on local channels, as well as Thursday Night Football broadcast through FireTV. We play the game sound through our jukebox and have 8 TV's to allow viewing from anywhere in the bar or dining areas.

    Do you offer gluten-free options?

    Yes, we ofdrr gluten free bread, salad options, and our sweet potato fries are gluten free. Some soups are, please ask about soup of the day.

    Is there a separate kids menu because I see kids eat free on Tuesday's?

    It isn't a separate menu... And now (April, 3, 2021) it is Thursday instead of Tuesday... The kid's menu is located on the back, bottom right of the menu... That minimizes the number of items delivered to the table which will then have to be cleaned… Read more

Hotel Sutter Restaurant has been on my list of places to check out in our neck of the woods for a while. We for sure wanted a classy place that served cocktails, and Hotel Sutter fit the bill. Both of us were also craving a good craft burger, and from what I saw in other reviews, the burgers looked delicious. I made a reservation for us on OpenTable just in case, but since it was a weeknight I wasn't too concerned if we had walked in. We were seated nearly immediately, and our server cheerfully asked us what we wanted to drink besides good ole H2O. I was really glad we came to visit around Christmastime, since they were serving holiday cocktails and other beverages. I went with the partridge pear martini, while my husband went with the Santa's spiced cider. My martini was oh so delicious and perfectly strong, and I had a small sip of my husband's cider, which was refreshing with the perfect holiday-esque notes. We read a few mixed reviews on the apps, so went straight to the entrees instead. I chose the bacon jam burger and my husband chose the traveller whiskey burger. Both of us upgraded to the garlic rosemary seasoning. I went with fries and my husband went with tots. Honestly, we were glad that we didn't end up ordering an app, since the burgers themselves were pretty filling! We both asked for medium on the cook temp of our patties, and they delivered. The meat was perfectly juicy with a wonderful charred flavor. The bacon jam was so delicious, and the balsamic arugula paired perfectly with everything. My brioche bun was pillowy and yet did not fall apart with all the juices of the burger. I did not get a chance to try my husband's burger, but he stated that it was also top notch. My fries were piping hot, with a perfect dusting of garlic rosemary flavor and sprinkles of Parmesan cheese. I tried a tot and that was also delightfully crispy and flavorful. We asked for ranch and that went well with both sides. The ketchup was great as well. I loved the ambiance of the restaurant. Old buildings are always up my alley, and the rich history of Hotel Sutter can truly be felt simply by touching its brick walls (that is, if you believe in the spirit realm). I loved that each table had its own light, but the restaurant had the perfect dim setting for a classy date night. Our server was very friendly and attentive, and kept our waters refilled. We had a concern regarding the pricing of the cider on the bill vs on the menu and that was fixed immediately, with the rest of the staff notified for future reference. It was a tiny discrepancy, but one that we caught quickly and simply wanted to bring up. Hotel Sutter Restaurant is definitely on our places to return to in the future, and I'd love to sit on the balcony some other time and enjoy some brunch and mimosas. If you're looking for an excuse for date night or are just feeling fancy, definitely come relax, sip some delicious cocktails, and enjoy the delicious food Hotel Sutter Restaurant has to offer!
