Cool spot across the Delta in Clarksburg! A short 19 min drive from Elk Grove. The restaurant had a nice patio with herbs and tables out front. When we walked inside we were greeted right away and had no problem getting a table. The vibes were relaxed but with an artisanal charm. Pretty wooden tables decorated with fresh flower center pieces. We tried this place last night and it didn't disappoint! Boyfriend loved his old fashioned/ I tasted it and even though I don't usually drink straight whisky I could tell it was well made! It had a nice orange essence as you brought it in for a sip and had slight cherry notes but mostly tasted like whisky lol.. as it should. I got the plum beautiful cocktail - it was a plum cardamom infused cocktail garnished with a rosemary sprig, just kind of a spritzy botanical drink. It was not too sweet which I appreciated but i couldn't really taste any specific flavors so i was trying to muddle the rosemary I wished I had gotten the pina colada which they make with coconut cream pineapple We ordered the Cilantro Caesar salad, which was light and yummy with a great dressing and a nice salty cheese crumble on top with little croutons. We also shared the margarita pizza which was perfect! Great crust - like a bread stick texture- super fresh and I bet made in house. Perfect amount of sauce and cheese with fresh basil and tomato Service was awesome and people were nice! We left full and happy :) Thanks guys! read more

What a great gem to find - Husick's has a great spot across from the river out in clarksburg. Their specialty is pizza but they've been expanding their menu. The food was outstanding and the service was great, very quick and super friendly. They were originally counter service but are moving to table service. We had a Mac & cheese dish on their specials menu which was amazing along with a salad and husick's pizza. read more

WOW - Driven past this little gem numerous times over last 5 years on our way to pick up our wine club selections. 'Marshall' was at counter to help walk us through menu and wine options. Nice variety of dining options for certain. The Veggie sandwich and the roasted beets salad were both so very fresh tasting with nice combinations of ingredients. And then the fresh baked focaccia bread was so beautifully clean tasting with just the right mix of minimal ingredients for taste!! We will be back! And you should too read more

I've stopped in twice in the last two weeks. This spot is a gem. Honestly, if it was closer to my home I'd be stopping in all the time, and it's probably good that it's a bit of a drive. The restaurant is so cute, they have some parking spots and then there's additional street parking down the side street next to it. The restaurant is beautiful and open inside, and they have additional outside seating. When you enter you order at the counter and then find a seat. I've dined in once and ordered takeout on my second visit. The team here is welcoming and friendly and it's always worth checking out what the specials are. They make everything in house and the menu changes with the seasonal ingredients that are available. I've been trying to work my way through the menu to try different items, and so far everything I've tried has been great. The first time I visited with friends and we ordered a couple pizzas, their muffaletta, Italian beef, olives and focaccia, and salsa di parmigiano. Everything was so fresh and flavorful and you could tell they put time and effort into the menu items. The fresh house made bread makes a huge difference too. On my second visit I ordered a pepperoni pizza, the Caesar salad, hummus and crostini, and Italian beef sandwich. Everything was packed with care and made it the 30ish minute ride home and tasted delicious. I'll be watching their instagram for more fun specials and I'm excited to head back for a date night. read more

Stopped by with friends after an event at the Old Sugar Mill. You place your order at the counter and are given a number for your table where your food will be delivered. We ordered one of the specials for the day - chicken, pesto, tomato pizza. The pizza was damn delicious. Very flavorful. All the staff were friendly and helpful. I would come back again if I was in the area. read more

Delicious food and excellent service. I highly recommend you try it. We had pizza and salad. The pizza was the best pizza I've had. The salad was also Amazing. Quinn took care of us and is warm, friendly, and provided excellent service. read more

Finally made it in time to try the za! Unexpected standout was the Caesar salad- it was sooo good. Wine was on point, pizza was great, bolognese was delicious (with the burrata on top, omg) but the cookies and the brownies that someone's mom makes every day will be what we write about lol we love this area bc we can bring the dog most places and Husick's is no different. They love seein Luke and are super accommodating. We will be back soon! read more

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. read more

Stopped in for an early dinner on a Thursday afternoon after wine tasting in the area. From the moment we entered to when we left, we were treated with excellent service and felt at home. Leon, who took our order and made some excellent recommendations, was one of the nicest, knowledgeable and engaging people we have met. The interior is a simple and warm design, with a wine country elegance. The food is prepared to order and represents an eclectic combination of small plates, salads, sandwiches, main dishes and pizza, all of which seems Italian directed. Although we didn't try the pizza, which looked awesome, everything we had was outstanding. The flavors, food quality and presentation were excellent. I really wish they had a place closer to our home in El Dorado Hills, because we would visit often. I highly recommend giving them a try when in Clarksburg. read more

Totally fabulous! We sat outdoors on the beautiful patio, excellent setting along the river road. The food was phenomenal...freshness and flavors were outstanding! The Italian roast beef sandwich was simply one of the best sandwiches I've ever had, one of those memorable items that you can't wait to have again. The kitchen kindly split it in half for us and served it with a delicious and very fresh arugula salad (that dressing!! ). We had the combination pizza as well...again, the quality of everything was outstanding! Loaded with pepperoni...hand grated cheese generously offered at table side. The cocktails were perfect...haven't had a pisco sour outside of the Bay Area and this one shined. The location couldn't be nicer... I was worried about parking but that's a non issue as it is plentiful (at least it was on a Sunday afternoon). The service was impeccable from Quinn and Gunnar...a class act across the board. Attentive and friendly, immediate good vibes. The interior is large, welcoming, and very clean...loaded with fresh flowers everywhere ...the restroom was spotless. Beautiful sink features...breezy open window with pretty curtain looking outdoors. The old schoolhouse across the road is worth a visit. Charming little town, can't wait to return. read more

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! read more

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!!! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Amazing food and service! Great location off the river and the wine trail in Clarksburg. Don't miss it!

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! read more

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 read more

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. read more

Came here after a 3 year absence only to come find out the ownership changed and so did the food. It use to have the worse barbecue in the delta and now it has great food and outstanding service (Howdy Quinn). I had their mushroom medley with focaccia and it was one of the best mushroom dishes I've ever had. 10/10. They use locally grown DiNapoli tomatoes in their food and they even had a garden in the back which cause me off guard when I went to the bathroom. They source their ingredients locally as much as they can from what I can tell which is great. The setting has changed a lot too since the last owners. It's a lot more clean and a lot more fancy as opposed to the rugged and tavern style it use to have. I personally prefer the older rugged style but this is good too for taking the family or going on a fancy date. I'd definitely try this spot at least once if you're a local or stopping by. This is a good spot read more

We made the very short, yet beautiful drive to Clarksburg for dinner from Elk Grove. We had a yummy dinner at Husicks.

A beautiful space with a nice outside area too. Support this local business! read more

Went for a friends birthday. The food was excellent. I tried some pizza, a delicious vegetarian sandwich, appetizers, and a drink. I saw a bunch of people who had ordered the regional cuisine specialty, which was Cuba that night. They looked and smelled incredible and everyone seemed very happy with their meals. Would love to see a bigger selection of beers, but other than that, no complaints. It had a very cozy ambiance, and felt like a great place to hang out with friends and family. Would love to go back when it's warmer and sit on the patio. read more

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. read more

Stopped in to try the Cuba menu from their new food from around.... Ox tail, sausage, and chicken were choices. Had the ox tail that was served on rice with avocado and pickled onions. Ox tail was melt in your mouth tender and rice nicely seasoned. Order at counter and served at table by friendly staffer (who also said the chicken choice was an entire chicken)! Definitely will return to try the "next country" read more

If you haven't been to Husicks yet, what are you waiting for? Maybe you were waiting for this week's Around the World menu featuring Canada. Smashed potatoes smothered in curds and gravy topped with foie inspired by poutin, feves-au-lard, and cretons--they knocked it out of the park with this menu-- so delicious! We've been several times, and it's a lovely drive down the river road--gotta love when the journey and the destination are a package deal. Feels like we've traveled far, but it's not even a half hour from home. The staff are friendly and enthusiastic about food and create a fun, family vibe. The building--a former hardware store--is very cool looking. Wine and beer selection is nice. They just changed their main menu and for the next few months are cooking from a different cuisine each week. We look for their weekly specials on Instagram. If your New Year's resolution is to travel more, here are some baby steps--get to Husicks. read more

OK, it's a long review but it's about the food and our overall experience = 4.8!!! And let's get this straight if you Yelp BBQ in Clarksburg and Husick's by Forester shows up; you'll be disappointed there's no bbq! Literally, my wife wanted BBQ and there was nothing that smelled like BBQ when we pulled up. Regardless we made the drive and decided to go in to be greeted by old friends who happened to be dining here. Our waiter Leon was fabulous, he's an ambassador for this establishment and understands the menu to the point where you might think he's the chef. Though the menu is small the items available are well prepared where the food shines in every bite. We ordered the beet salad where there is plenty of beets in different forms: sliced & cubed in a very light vinaigrette = tasty (and I'm not a fan of beets). My wife ordered the meat lover's pizza since she wanted "bbq"/meat and I opted to allow Leon to choose between the Chicken Coullette or the hanger steak. The pizza size is a nice portion size (maybe 14") and the cheese has a good stretch when pulling slices a part, but the crust is perfection: crispy & light; I would just eat the crust if that was an option. This was one of the few times I'm glad my wife is diabetic since I get to eat her pizza crust ends ‍ . As for the Chicken Coullette (which Leon picked and is noted to serve two people) is soooo good I almost ate the entire dish. The dish consisted of white bean casserole, fennel sausage with toasted bread crumbs topped with chicken confit. After each bite, my mind just wanted more because the fennel sausage does not overwhelm the dish since many sausages can be overly salty. Oooh, the chicken confit was juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Even though my wife didn't get her BBQ she did admit that this place won't be a hidden gem for long! We look forward to sharing Husick's with our friends! read more

Stopped in after exploring the cute old house neighborhood nearby and seeing some river sights. Nice retro, unique historical town. They have an old historic school house open on weekends. Husick's was nice inside on this overcast Wednesday afternoon. Great service with knowledgeable staff about history and the area and a nice, clean stop. Delicious fresh cookies and treats and good wine selection . The pizzas and everything looked good but we didn't get a chance to try. They had a Chili festival coming up that looks fun.... this would be a good place for a little birthday party or something.

Literally THE best pizza. And staff! Nothing hits after wine tasting quite like their signature pepperoni pizza. We get the pizza from here and then the drummies from Freeport Bar and Grill, and it might be our favorite meal. You can even get the pizza half baked so you can finish it off at home. We typically order takeout, but dining in is such a vibe also. We've been here during live music and it's a fun place to hang out. read more

After wanting to try Husick's by Forester for several months, I was hugely disappointed in the food. The muffaleta sandwich was one of the worst sandwiches I've ever had. The focaccia bread was more akin to white bread than a well-made focaccia and was slathered with aioli (which has no place on a muffaleta sandwich), the olive salad was unremarkable, and it was not pressed to allow the juices to permeate the sandwich. My cold white bean salad side was nearly flavorless. After a few bites, I tossed out the remaining sandwich and salad. The service was equally unremarkable - a single person staffing the cash register and delivering the food. Since it was at beautiful day, I chose to sit outside on one of the plastic picnic tables. Shortly after biting into my sandwich, a gardener began shoveling dirt into a planter box two feet from my table. While I enjoy the smell of fresh potting soil while working in the garden, I do not appreciate it while eating food. My draft Yolo Bolo brew by Porchlight Brewing was tasty, but it wasn't enough to save this very disappointing dining experience. read more
