Started with the chips and beans...10/10 Moved over to the roasted beat salad...if you can call it that...4/10 Got the western burger and the fig jam and Brie burger and WOW...I loved these! I just wish the fries had some salt... Also service was good, and the restaurant was surprisingly empty for a Saturday night. We overall had a good meal, and would come back, just not order the roasted beat salad. read more

The food was mid but there isn't much else to choose from that's close. It gets the job done. Everyone was friendly. We went on a Friday night and there was karaoke which was nice only two people participated. We left before it got dark read more

Creekside Cork & Brew - Wine Bars Near Me - Somerset, California

Creekside Cork & Brew was our meal spot after a big bike ride. It was just okay. The menu is all over the place. Burgers, pasta, and Mexican food. For some reason, I was craving a beet salad, and the menu provided! The salad itself, though, left me wanting more. I also ordered the chips and guac, which were pretty good. Not great, but not terrible. It mostly hit the spot. Service for our large party was attentive and fast. Our server also was able to split our check up a million ways, which is always so appreciated. I never knew this spot existed, and the entire area in general seems very cute. I would go back to try the Mexican food, as reviews say that's stellar. read more

I'm so happy that Maria is getting the credit she deserves. She kept some of the original menu and gave her take on an additional Mexican flare. It's authentic and absolutely delicious. People from small towns aren't always accepting of new owners, especially after people loving the original ones. But they sold and she came in and has done an amazing job. Go give her a shot! read more

This place has the best fig bacon brea burger in the area! Has my mouth watering every time. Stop in for some karaoke too!

New owner, still amazing. When we first moved here, the vibe and the menu was very different. But that does not mean that the quality of service, and food has declined at all at Creekside Cork & Brew. Still one of our staples, the owner is so kind, and the food is delicious. I'm very happy to have them in our community! read more

Wonderful service and seriously delicious food. The burgers are hefty and pack a punch. Had 2 shrimp tacos and verrrrrry yummy. Not just some skimpy shrimps, actually wonderfully marinated and prepped. The WINGS...wow the wings were a star. These wings are JUMBO sized and not just sauced up. Theyre fried, coated and topped with whatever flavor you choose. Not just some parmesan powder and garlic salt...actual garlic marinade and shredded parm. Come by - you wont be disappointed! read more

A year ago the service was excellent and the menu was a lot better. The service is very loudsy. You have to keep reminding the waitress of what you need. didn't ask for a refill. Also the menu looks very dirty. No AC inside the restaurant. I won't be returning! read more

We LOVE this place !! Cute ambience, hands on owner, good food and great service!! AND The servers here are personable & happy to work here, which makes a difference ! Love the wide variety on the menu, good beers on tap! Overall we will continue to come back ! read more

Every time we go wine tasting in FairPlay we always go to Creekside Cork and Brew. The staff are friendly and the food is excellent. We have brought different groups of friends here and everyone always leaves saying how good the food is. My favorites are the garlic Parmesan wings. They are meaty, flavorful and cooked perfectly. The burgers are great, filling and tasty. My favorite is the Smokin hot burger. Also good is the brunch burger. Today I got the special - clam chowder which had a good quantity of clams and was very filling. My partner got the beef stew which was very flavorful. For dessert we shared the carrot cake which was home made and delicious. Angie our server was efficient, cheerful and friendly. Look forward to coming back again! read more

This used to be our favorite restaurant and we ate here twice a week. We won't ever be going back. The quality of service and food has gone down since the new owners took over. The two young girls that work there are great, but if they're not working, your service is going to be awful. The place is called cork and brew yet they know nothing about wine or beer. I had ordered an IPA and the owner come out and tell us they were out of it but they had something very similar but she didn't know the name or anything about it. I asked if she could just bring me a small taste and she kept saying it's the same - then proceeded to bring me a guava hard seltzer. Then it became apparent that they were not cleaning their tap-lines or changing out their kegs regularly. So we stopped ordering beer when we went. The quality of the existing menu plummeted but the new Mexican food they added were good so we continue to come for tacos. Recently the tacos came out, barely warm with an odd consistency and strange taste. We ended up with food poisoning after our last two visits. The first time we blamed on airport food since we had been traveling that day but now it's happened twice and there's no debating it was their tacos. read more

Wonderful place, great food and ambiance. We were in the area getting fire wood and our friends suggested to meet at this lovely place. Everything we ordered was delicious and came out great! We will definitely make it back next time we are in the area! read more

Beautiful place located right next to a winery! I got the cheeseburger and fries. The burger was good but not the best I had ever had. The meat was a little dry. The fries were good! The patio has a gorgeous view of the mountains and the ambiance is great! We also had mimosas that were 10/10!!!! read more

With the exception of the appetizers, the burgers and brews are excellent. For the price of the celebration fries and the onion rings, they are below average. The fries with garlic Parmesan are not much to celebrate. The onion rings are over fried and greasy. Highly recommend to skip these two appetizers. With a party of 12, the service is excellent. We were able to have a some what private area. read more

Creekside is one of the few dining options near Fair Play, but don't think twice about dining here. Every bite will be worth your while! The flavors and portions blew me away, and my party had plenty of food leftover the next day. We ordered the mac and cheese, celebration fries, and carnitas tacos, plus an Italian cream soda. Since all the dishes were from the appetizer menu, I was expecting smaller plates. The chef brought our order to our table (takeout only but outdoor dining allowed during COVID), and we received three large boxes of food which could've been entrees. The mac and cheese was topped with bbq pulled pork and balanced with pickled red onions. The celebration fries had lots of flavor from the bacon and jalapeños--try them with ranch dip. The tacos were loaded with carnitas, avocado crema, queso, and had a great bite to them from the slightly crispy tortillas. I got a blackberry cream soda which was refreshing and the perfect pairing to the food. Service was friendly and quick despite being busy with the dinner crowd. There is an outdoor patio upstairs and downstairs by the creek. It was fully shaded in the patio areas which made dining comfortable despite the heat. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Creekside, and would love to come back and dine indoors. read more

Please tell our server Heather thank you. She's such a sweetheart and is super attentive and helpful. She made our first time here special. We had the tacos (1 carnitas, 1 al pastor), fish al diablo, bbq mac and cheese with steak, and Hefeweizen. Since it was a Friday night, there was a truck serving beer infused pizza. We of course had one of those too. Everything was delicious. We inhaled the pizza, despite saying we'd only eat half. The crust was light and had the right char. The tacos were well stacked and plentiful. They did not skimp on the meat. The sauce on the fish al diablo had a spicy but not overpowering kick. It balanced the light fish well. Then there was the mac and cheese with steak. Probably one of the best best mac and cheeses we've ever had. Decadent. Hearty. Smoky and comforting. Paired well with a light, refreshing Hef. We took home what we couldn't finish, and it still looked delicious in the styrofoam container. Compliments to the chefs. And mad love to Heather. Thanks for the recommendations. read more

Excellent table service, very good burger selection in very comfortable restaurant. It's an ideal location for dining prior to wine tasting.

Delicious fig burger. The place was hopping and the service was great and the food was so good!

My husband and I ate here under the old owners and now twice under the new. Is it good? I suppose it really depends on what you want. It might be an incredible Mexican place, but if you want a nice dinner, like what it used to be, it's sub par. The burgers have gotten relatively flavorless since our initial visit. Tonight, my pesto pasta was so dripping in sauce I might as well have been eating a soup. But, the flan was good, so maybe the Mexican portion is better. What baffles me, however, is why you would buy the business with a great modern California ambiance and menu and turn it into burgers and Mexican, like everything else around here. Why wouldn't you just go to Roosters for that, which is cheaper? Needless to say, we'll head to Gols Vine Grill for a nice dining experience. read more

The soups were delicious! Same with our entrees. My ribeye was cooked to perfection! M6 husband has the fish special and loved it as well. Service was impeccable! read more

Could do much better on the Chile Rellenos. Pretty sure they didn't peel the pepper (needed a knife) and there was very little cheese in it. read more

Been going to Creekside for a long time. I have been getting great food and great service the entire time. Went there tonight and had my favorite Blackened Salmon Sandwich and Fries. Delicious! As long as they have been open, I can not recall them ever having a male manager, let alone currently. I would be careful with any one star reviews in that regards, and go try them for yourself. read more

Such a shame. This place was fantastic, but there has been an ownership change and it didn't make it better. Let's talk about the food, then the service. One of us had the BBQ Mac & Cheese. There didn't seem to be any cheese, and the overwhelming flavor was vinegar from the pickled onions. One of us had the enchiladas. When asked how they were, she shrugged and said, "Eh ... not great." I had chicken wings, which in the past were just awesome. These? I left several behind with no desire to bring them home. Service. I placed my drink order and dinner order, asking for blue cheese dressing on the side for the wings. Wings, Beer, blue cheese dressing. Simple. I had the pleasure of repeating my order four times before she got it. On the good side, I only had to order the drink twice. When the wings came, I noticed the blue cheese dressing had spilled all over my wings and dripped into the bottom of the basket. I asked for a new side of blue cheese dressing and my waitress scampered off. About 5 minutes later she remembered me and asked me if I still needed my Ranch Dressing. I reminded her it was blue cheese. I got Ranch anyway. read more

We live 2 miles away and it has been awesome since the new ownership took over. Much friendlier atmosphere and excellent service. The BBQ pulled pork mac & cheese is excellent and so are the Caliente and Western Burgers. They have a varied menu with burgers, salads, Mexican food, and few pasta / seafood dishes. You can find something you will like. read more

Where to start, Casey and Frank and the entire staff at Creekside are amazing, helpful, kind, and caring. My husband and I found our wedding venue just up the street and were told that there was a cafe down the way that might be available for our rehearsal dinner, so we wandered down. To our surprise we found a beautiful cafe with friendly smiles and welcoming greetings. Obviously, we ordered the Brie and fig burger and Mac n cheese and fell in love with them immediately! We asked to talk to the manager/ caterer so we could talk business and arrange a tasting and to see if we could hold our rehearsal dinner there. They were very responsive to our inquiries and put together the most amazing tasting ever! We felt like royalty. We ended up hosting our rehearsal dinner there and everything went flawlessly. Thank you to the staff, and Casey, for making our dreams come true Truly the best food in town read more

All bad. Never leave bad reviews.Tis was literally the worst. The meat in our tacos was completely dry and burnt. The burger was an overcooked Frozen Patty. Literally had nothing on it. Burnt "Meat" on a burnt bun. The fries were hard and dry and some were nearly burnt The server was nice, but never came back After food was dropped. We didn't even get to eat. All of It was so bad. Overpriced beer too. $8 for a corona in a bottle! I should ha e taken a photo, but it was soooo ugly. read more

They only had a 6pm seating for eating indoors with a prefixed menu and the orders weren't put in until everyone arrived (45 minutes later). Pros: Great Food, cute restaurant, live music! Cons: Servers barely wore their masks (or wore see-through bead masks that do nothing) and it was so loud we couldn't hear each other talk. read more

The burgers were pretty salty and the meat wasn't very tasty. The service was really good though.

It was so nice to see that this place SOMEHOW survived through COVID19. We arrived on a Saturday, around noon, along with everyone else in the place. The servers were a bit harried trying to get everyone situated, but they were professional, and kept their smiles on. We love restaurants that offer local wines! Bit, we're not as familiar with Fairplay wines as we are with Amador. So when I asked our server about a particular wine, she brought me a sample and let me decide. Both my wife and I enjoyed the Shadow Ranch Tempranillo, as it was wonderfully full-bodied. We ordered three apps, ceviche, carnitas tacos, and mac-and-cheese. I thought that they made a mistake with one dish because it was covered with meat. That turned out to be the mac-and-cheese, which was smothered with smoked pork shoulder. Everything tasted great! We had leftovers, including the ceviche. When we asked for some boxes and some ice to keep the ceviche cold, the server delivered, despite their having an ice supply issue. So food, wine, and service were on point, as was pricing. We'll be happy to return! read more

We cannot say enough about this spot and the goodness it holds within its walls. This has become our must-stop spot in Fair Play when we visit our cabin and we have loved every single item we've ordered. You can't go wrong with any of their burgers and their celebration fries are outstanding. Put the food aside for a second...the service! Their service has been nothing short of superb and it's the little touches- like the wife and I sharing a burger and then splitting it up for us before bringing it to the table. If you are checking out wineries in the Fair Play area or just happen to be in the area hungry...do not miss this restaurant!! read more

We have been here multiple times, and we just love this place! We are El Dorado County locals and recently bought property in Fairplay, so this cozy little hidden gem in the heart of wine country suits us just fine! Everything is always consistent (very important), the food is delicious and they always say hello right when you walk in the front door (also very important). The young server is just as sweet as can be and takes great care of her customers. However, I think the other servers could be just a little more friendly. Looking forward to next time. Thank you Creekside! read more

Wow!...I mean WOW!!! From start to finish this place was amazing! The staff was extremely attentive, and the food was beyond incredible. My husband and I split a Western Burger and Cesar Salad for lunch. It was more than enough for both of us, and I must say, we were more than happy!!! The western burger had an incredible spicy bite complemented by the sweetish bbq sauce. Erin is the greatest! She is sassy and spunky, and I will go back just for her waitressing attentiveness!!! We will be back again and again!!! read more
