    Patty Melt combo.
    Alec K.

    Had lunch here today for the first time, not sure why it took me so long! The Patty Melt was about as perfect as one can be and the Onion Rings were cooked to perfection. Maybe a little pricey, but with fast food prices climbing, it wasn't that far off. And the quality was definitely better. I can't think of a single ff places that makes a Patty Melt, either. The outside seating was very pleasant, no worries about being taken out by an errant golfball. Service was pleasant enough, no complaints. Now I can't wait to come back and try breakfast here!

    French Dip, BLT, and Patty Melt, oh so yummy!!!

    First time here today, came with 2 friends and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Our sandwiches were great, and the place was nice & relaxing. And those sweet potato fries are perfect!! Not sure how it is on the weekends, but a weekday lunch was nice there. Not fancy but a very nice setting on the golf course. Glad we tried it and we will be back.

    Fun, casual ambience with great views of the golf course, and super close to Ancil Hoffman and the American River.

From the menu…read moreyou could tell it's just a blue collar family style very basic meatloaf mashed potatoes type place, with very affordable prices. I'm staying at a nearby hotel for a trade show I'm involved in and didn't feel like traveling far and everything else was fast food and this was a sitdown place so that's why I decided to go there despite the fact I knew it was not high end. The food was priced well there was lots of people and so I knew everything was relatively fresh, but I just had to laugh when my Dish arrived. I settled on the flank steak and shrimp combo platter no mashed potatoes. I opted for veg instead and no cornbread or buns since I'm trying to be keto. I also got a glass of wine, which was happy hour prices and very reasonable when my Dish arrived. It was hilarious instead of a steak. It looked like a cow penis! It tasted fine although it was a little past the "medium" I had requested. They delivered it with a bottle of A1 sauce without me requesting it. that further indicating this is a very basic basic restaurant since at fine dining establishments with steak they are offended if you order A1 sauce! I happen to like A1 sauce even with nice steaks and so I just had to chuckle, but I did like my A1 sauce! The shape was just hilarious. I wish it would've just been round or square or flat or something anything but a penis shape!

We decided to sit inside at the bar instead, and I'm so glad we did because we had an amazing bartender, I believe his name was Seth. He was incredibly nice, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit. The food was absolutely delicious, and the drinks were just as good! Everything came out great, and the whole experience was such a good vibe. Between the atmosphere, the food, the drinks, and the wonderful service, I would definitely come back again. Highly recommend checking this place out!

    A Second Chance That Fell Short - we gave this restaurant a…read moresecond chance tonight after an unfortunate experience here about a year ago that left me with food poisoning. I genuinely wanted to believe that was an isolated incident and was willing to give the restaurant another opportunity. Unfortunately, the food was again a major disappointment. We ordered a burger medium, but it arrived essentially raw. After the previous experience, that was particularly concerning, and I simply pushed the food aside. I also received fries that I never ordered and was charged for them. They appeared to be the remnants of the evening--mostly small, overcooked, and crusty--which only added to the frustration. The service compounded the experience. We sat at the bar, as we had previously, and it took roughly 5-7 minutes for anyone to acknowledge us. When the food arrived, we had to ask for napkins and silverware. Then, when we were ready to leave, it took another 10 minutes or so to get anyone's attention. I ultimately had to holler to people standing about five feet away just to get someone to close us out. Everyone was pleasant enough on the surface, but hospitality is about more than being friendly. It's about awareness, attention to detail, and making guests feel genuinely looked after. Maybe the mistake is sitting at the bar. I'm willing to consider that. But after giving this place a second opportunity following a very bad first experience, I expected the details to matter a little more. A restaurant earns loyalty through consistency--not just when everything goes perfectly, but especially when it doesn't. Unfortunately, this second visit left me with the same feeling as the first: disappointed, and still without a compelling reason to come back for a third try.

And while the wings are also excellent (I didn't try any of the other offerings), it is the smashburger that I highly recommend, and for which I am adding my 5-star rating. Finding TTB was a bit of an adventure. There is no visible signage from the parking lot. You enter from the parking lot under a sign that reads "SF Super Market". Then you walk toward the supermarket ahead, but turn left to go under the sign that says Saigon Street Food Court. And then you need to locate the TTB counter inside. And for this smashburger fan, the journey was definitely worth it. The smashburger patties are large, with the requisite crispy edges, yet juicy and beefy in the middle. And even with all that goodness inside the bun, the bun itself remains perfectly intact. It is a giant, yet easily navigable sandwich, and it is delicious. Just the right amount of melted cheese and condiments, everything fresh-tasting. We also tried the onion rings (perfectly crispy) and the wings (with a crunchy coating over juicy, tasty chicken). The fries were a bit thicker than I like, as I am a shoestring-fries fan. But they had a bit of crunch on the outside and were soft on the inside. The chef/owner, Young, took our order, went back inside the kitchen, and then brought everything out to our table. He is a terrific guy, and so pleasant to interact with. With eight or so restaurants in the food court, there are plenty of tables and chairs for eating inside. The whole burger experience was comfortable, and I definitely look forward to returning. All of Young's offerings are fairly priced, and as should be obvious, I highly recommend TTB for an outstanding smashburger experience.

    With this simple counter entrance, you just don't expect how really excellent the food is going to be.

They have an amazing happy hour menu that goes until 10 Pm. The prime rib tacos were SO amazing, not spicy, so flavorful and the texture of the corn salsa added so much to the whole bite. The garlic fries were fantastic, loaded with chopped garlic (jarred kind), parsley and parm. We also tried the loaded potato skins, they were great but I was pretty full by the time they came so we left a wounded soldier. The tumbleweed onion straws were also fantastic! My friends ordered prime rib, kabobs and the filet mignon and were nice enough to share! The prime rib is served on a sizzling plate with au jus, and was fantastic! The filet was well seasoned and the kabobs were good, although I prefer a little more rare. The appetizer happy hour menu had $6 and $8 items, food and drinks. The howdy beer was $4 and was pretty decent! My friends loved the $6 raspberry lemon drops! Above all of this though, our server was amazing. She worked her butt off for us and really made our visit Amazing. I'm the worst and only caught that her name started with a J, and she'd been there for 20 years. She was so attentive and recommended amazing dishes. I can't wait for our next annual trip, this place just became part of my tradition!

    Cattlemens offer exactly the classic, rustic western experience you expect -- it is loud,…read moreenergetic, and great for large groups or a casual night out. However, while the service is friendly and the "all-inclusions" dinner format provides plenty of volume, the actual execution of the food fell significantly short of the mark. If you are just looking for a spot that can handle a crowd, this place gets the job done. The staff is efficient, and the atmosphere is consistently lively. But if you are coming for the meal itself, be prepared for disappointment. Eating out is expensive these days, and these price points, you expect basic culinary standards to be met. Unfortunately, the kitchen missed the mark on several fronts: The Burger: Uninspired and bone dry; despite ordering it otherwise. It arrived overcooked to a lackluster medium-well in the center. The Onion Rings: Disappointing -- they were heavy and soaked in oil rather than being served crisp. The Sides: The button mushrooms were a major letdown. Charging a premium for such a basic, flavorless side feels unreasonable. Cattlemens is a local staple for a reason, but it isn't a destination for quality. Between the greasy onion rings, dry meat and a high price tag, the meal just didn't offer good value. You can find far better quality elsewhere for what they are charging. It is fine if you are looking to feed a group in a pinch, but i will not be rushing back.
