    We used Husick's by Forester for my father's Celebration of Life. The venue was beyond gorgeous, the food was delicious, the service was amazing- the owners and staff are kind, supportive, and truly top notch. The space is special, right on the Delta, and we were able to do an Air Force Honors Ceremony on the stage. Highly recommend for an event or a meal.

    Country pate

    Honestly, it's okay. We ordered two pizzas and the country pâté (pickled veggies, pâté, jamón, and toasted bread). It felt a bit pricey at $24, and unfortunately the pizza was pretty average. The search for great pizza continues.

    We had dinner tonight at the new and improved Husick's by Forester. I had not been here since they have taken over the helm and I was duly impressed. Full disclosure, I worked here a year or ten ago. The place was always in need of a deep clean and a makeover. Boy did they do a great job. I also feel like this is finally being run by a group of talented grown up individuals. Matt is doing an amazing job in the kitchen with the food and menu. It is in fact next level. Ross is doing a stellar job front of house. Great customer service and downright welcoming. Please don't wait as long as I did. Do some wine tasting, take a drive, head to the pear festival, but whatever you do...stop at Husick's!

    Steak Sandwich with white bean salad

    A slice of food heaven in the Clarksburg area! We came here about fourish years ago when it was owned by a previous owner. We heard about the new ownership and we had to swing by to check it out. The space is beautifully redone, it's bright and airy. You order your food and drinks at the counter. They serve local beer and wine (+ we got a spoiler that they may be getting a full bar soon). Now, the food - holy moly we wanted to try everything. They have weekly specials that look incredible. They keep their Instagram updated with their specials menu. We landed on two different sandwiches with two sides, the steak sandwich with a bean salad and a veggie sandwich (we added chicken) with the potato salad. Everything was AMAZING. I am still dreaming about the focaccia bread. 100/10 definitely stop by!!!

    We made the very short, yet beautiful drive to Clarksburg for dinner from Elk Grove. We had a yummy dinner at Husicks. I had a pizza with mushrooms and feta, and my husband had an Italian Beef sandwich with homemade roll and a generous amount of cheese. Family owned. We will be back! A beautiful space with a nice outside area too. Support this local business!

    Hit or miss on the food, but it's usually pretty good. Decent beer and wine menu, live music and outdoor seating

    Me and my boyfriend stopped by for lunch at Husick's and OMG... what a pleasant surprise. The ambiance was so chill and relaxing. It wasn't busy, and it's right across from the river which made it feel even more peaceful. From the moment we walked in we were greeted and treated so nicely. The person who took my order even let me sample a few wines to go with our pizza, which was such a thoughtful touch. Now the pizza... it was FRESH. I mean the crust was just heavenly. But let's talk about the brown butter pecan cake -- OH MY GAWD!!!!!!!!!!!! I literally want to call the owner and hug him myself. I think I want this cake for my wedding... it's THAT GOOD. So fresh, moist, and the frosting was absolutely delicious. WOW. I was so pleased with our whole experience. Cannot wait to come back.

    Came in to have a quick lunch with coworkers on a weekday. Love the vibe. Feels historic and has small town charm. Right across from the river. Walk up counter where you order food that's brought to your table. I ordered a steak sandwich, $18.99. My coworker ordered the Pizza. Both were brought to the table promptly and presented well. Steak was super soft. Bread was the star of the show. Soft, flavorful and unique. Potato salad was flavorful, chunky. Small scoop.

    What a magical night it was! Yelp has truly opened the door to some incredible friendships and this one was no exception. A fellow friend organized a fantastic group date at Husick's, nestled near the river in Clarksburg. The drive down was absolutely beautiful setting the perfect tone for the evening. We all ordered different dishes and sharing them family-style was a great way to enjoy the meal together. I'm really excited that the chef introduces a new specialty menu every week making each visit feel unique. The night we went, there was live music filling the air and the restaurant was buzzing with energy. Street parking is available along the side and across the road, making it easy to access. Trust me you don't want to miss out on this gem!

    Dinner on the Delta with Friends [Clarksburg CA] First of all, the building is cool. It is a historic building first built as a general store. It had a wooden sign that hung by the kitchen area, "Frank Husick Hardware store" and "selling general items." I like that new owner and chef, Matt Brown, kept many of the original details of the building. It was a cold, rainy evening when I met with friends, some 8 of us altogether. There was a live band entertaining the guests, The Anthony Coleman Trio. We enjoyed the jazz music despite the loud volume and we had a great time. We placed our orders at the counter. Normally in an evening without a live band it would be a table service. Most of us ordered (for a limited time only) the featured dishes, Asian-inspired -- Salted Fish Fried Rice (salted cod, chicken, garlic, ginger, veggies, sesame and soy sauce) and Pork & Shrimp Siu Mai. Delicious! Inside was nice and cozy with all table seating (no booths). There were a couple of high table tops too. We occupied a round table. Customer service was excellent. With the open kitchen we could see Matt prepare/cook the dishes. Umbrella covered outdoor patio seating available on nice warm, clear days. Great atmosphere on the Delta, close proximity to great wineries and a stone's throw from Sacramento. Review #3684

    Husick's by Forester opened its doors on Sept 13, 2024 under the helm of Chef/Owner Matt Brown. If you've ever dined at The Jungle Bird, Golden Bear, or Bodega Kitchen and Cocktails, chances are good that you've had food prepared by Matt. Although Clarksburg is out in the Delta, it's worth the visit if it's out of the way for you. Located next to the Sacramento River, the building has gone through a few iterations over the century+ years and it's currently a charming tap house and restaurant with the original "Frank Husick Hardware" sign above the kitchen! My friends and I visited on a Friday night during Husick's by Forester's "Around the World in 80 Days" in which they showcase weekly specials from different countries (1/2/25 through 3/19/25). The week's specials were: Salted Fish Fried Rice (with salted cod, chicken, ginger, and veggies), Pork and Shrimp Siu Mai (with black mushrooms, topped with green onions and a sweet soy dipping sauce), and Congee (rice porridge with fried garlic, fried shallots, scallions, and toasted peanuts) to coincide with Chinese New Year. On Friday nights, they feature a band (free music!) and change from table service to counter service. The Anthony Coleman Trio (jazz) were playing when we were there... and wow, they were awesome. All of the staff were friendly and brought our dishes out shortly after ordering. Since they also had their regular menu items, we tried the following: *Salted Fish Fried Rice* - This dish was so well-balanced and the rice was soft and fluffy. It tasted equally delicious the day after as leftovers. *Pork and Shrimp Sui Mai* - Each of the 5 dumplings were over-sized and flavorful - easily better than many of the Sui Mai found at Chinese Restaurants. *The Forester Pizza* (roasted red potato, rosemary, caramelized onions, arugula, chèvre, mozzarella, confit garlic) - The gooey cheese was sublime, the crust was perfectly chewy, and together each bite was amazing. *Hangar Steak* (cooked with garlic and rosemary and came with pickled veggies, fresh focaccia bread, and a slice of cambazola cheese) - The steak was very tender, cooked rare (exactly per our request), and seasoned just right. The de-constructed dish was a bit unusual but worked nonetheless. Heck, the steak even paired well with the fried rice! Ha! Do yourself a favor and check out Husick's by Forester. They're open Wednesday through Friday, from 11 am to 9 pm. Try one or three of their weekly specials. Chef Matt has an outstanding repertoire and executes dishes like nobody else.

Beautifully curated decor- you can tell the owners put a lot of time and thought into to it. Wish I had taken a picture of the beer tap rotation.. each handle is a beautiful large rock crystal. Food was excellent- we shared the coconut shrimp which were the bomb with generous sized shrimp seemingly breaded with a light, coconut only coating so not a heavy breading that usually cheats you with tiny shrimp. We also shared the meatball sampler and the gogujhang (I know I spelled that wrong) meatballs were delicious. Also the sweet pea salad with a generous sized portion of smoked salmon. It was very, very good! We sat at the bar and got to chat with the daughter (family owned and run) who was a sweetheart. The wine pours by the glass were also generous. For those few who complained about the size of the plates- this is a small plates restaurant. 3 plates and we were stuffed. For a restaurant working on razor-thin margins as all restaurants do (especially in CA) I thought it was a great value and a lovely night out. This isn't the Cheesecake Factory people. Thank God. Will be back very soon!

    The 3-star rating is actually an average of my 4-star and my wife's 2-star ratings. Why was she so…read moremuch less happy with our supper tonight? Read on. So we ended up at Aioli tonight with another couple after trying and failing to get in at the place across the street. We weren't unhappy about that as we used to frequent Aioli years ago and always really liked it. I'll just cut to the chase here and say that the problem tonight was the service. Everything seemed really rushed and pacing was poor. Our friends already had their cocktails when we got there, and we each ordered one while checking out the menu., When they arrived, our server asked us for our orders, but we weren't ready, so she came back a short time later. My wife ordered a salad and a tapa plate and was asked whether she wanted the salad ahead of time or with the meal and she said she'd have it with the meal. A short time later, the food came out, with the exception of the salad. It didn't come out for some time, and my wife was just getting ready to tell them not to bother when it arrived. Right after that, they cleared the rest of the plates and asked us if we wanted dessert or coffee. Obviously, she was still working on the salad at that point. So she really did not appreciate the service. I was less unhappy about it, but she certainly had a good point. It was way too rushed and uneven for a place like Aioli. In addition to that, our server just seemed to have a rushed and frantic edge to her, and that didn't help at all We did agree that the food was very good. Her chorizo dish and the salad were both excellent. I had the octopus and the little pork skewers, both of which were fantastic. (That octopus is an absolute classic and everyone should try it.) Fried brussels sprouts were fine - not excellent, but certainly not bad. I liked my cocktail, my wife didn't particularly like hers. So we're averaging this one out to a three. I would have to go back for more data points to see which of the two or four star ratings is really more emblematic of Aioli. Unfortunately, my wife doesn't want to go back. So bottom line: good food, poor service, excellent octopus. Mike sez check it out but beware.

I understand they were slammed as it is Saturday night but we made a reservation in anticipation of that and expected it to be honored at least within 10-15 mins. Our server Omer was very kind, as well as the other staff who came by regularly to fill out waters and clear plates. I ordered the ravioli on mushroom sauce and my partner ordered the duck lasagna. The lasagna was actually quite good, it had plenty of filling and was very flavorful. I was unfortunately not pleased with the ravioli. It seems the word "sauce" is used pretty liberally here as when the waiter put the plate on the table I noticed the raviolis sloshed around in some sort of broth. The taste was fine, but it did not taste of mushroom at all and the filling was about the size of a quarter in a very large thin pasta sheet. I think if I had stacked all the raviolis on top of one another, I could have finished it in one bite. If you are going to try out this restaurant, perhaps stick to the paella, which is actually very good, and visit on a day/time when they are not busy so you can expect to be seated in a more reasonable amount of time.
