The surrounding outside area is wonderful. Great way to spend an afternoon. The drinks are good and refreshing.

The service excellent. The food was yummy yum yum. The drinks were perfect to ask for a second round.

I been going to the main event for a decade. Long island A1. Burgers were a solid 9. But it no longer is a place for burgers. It's a 6.5 for burgers because they've stolen the recipe from smash burger chain. Sorry they're no longer a burger gettin'place. I have reconsidered River City brewery for burgers lol. read more

Great bar food, good beer selection. Golfers were not an issue, in fact more non golfers that golfers. Great patio for dining. Service excellent and friendly. read more

Food was great, burger cooked right. Hand pressed burger!!! Fries were good too...............................

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! read more

Nice little spot to get a snack and a beer after a walk. The golfers can be real douchebags. (We just ear hustle and laugh at them but I feel bad for the staff that have to deal with it.) read more

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. read more

This place is great! The bar tender Kyle is so cool and nice! Very helpful, he answered all of the questions I had, and I had a lot! He recommended I had the bacon guacamole burger, and boy was I satisfied! The burger was a great size and the ingredients were fresh and tasty! I highly recommend coming in and having a beer and some food and saying hi to Kyle, the friendliest most helpful bar tender in the city! And Dakari in the back of the house cooks up some great quality food with wonderful presentation, you can really tell he cares about his work and the customers. All in all this is a great place, I'd come here everyday if I could! read more

Yum! Fun, casual ambience with great views of the golf course, and super close to Ancil Hoffman and the American River. Great place to go for a quick bite and brew, whether or not you golf the course. Dog friendly too (outside)! read more

Again, I hesitate making such a great recommendation for a restaurant, because I don't like to stand in line. . The setting on their very large deck is beautiful. The food is great and the beer and wine selection is first rate. I've been to a lot of golf courses and their restaurants. But overall, the is nothing to top The Main Event at Ancil Hoffman. read more

This "bar and grill" is not recommended. Played 18 holes-hungry and thirsty decided to eat at course. Big mistake. Cashier was less than attentive and got the order wrong. Didn't ask any questions during transaction and bottom line he wasn't in his comfort zone. Perhaps a job running the ball picker cart on the range would be a better option. Steer clear. read more

This place has very good food, and as a bonus there is a golf course right outside! A beautiful patio to sit, with great food and good beers! Be sure to look at their specials menu - they always have something good on there read more

I like the food at this little restaurant! The food is perfect when your golfing. The manager Derek is a nice guy and the staff are all friendly as well. They have a decent beer selection from local breweries to the big companies. They have all the hard alcohol you need. I normally eat the breakfast sandwiches which are the best! read more

Hello, welcome to my review! I am currently wrapping up my experience at the Main Event Bar & Grill and ooooweee I tell you what, I just had the best ol' time here. We had the bacon guacamole burger, a side salad and their curly fries! Very impressed to hear all bbq sauce is made in house, as are the croutons, and all dressings! The prices are extremely reasonable and the beer selection is impressive with great local craft choices, if you're into that! The server Kyle is incredibly handsome, charming, and skilled. *ask about the penny bit* hehe. And Dakiri is great in the kitchen! Love the Main Event, come for some food stay for some golf right here in the scenic ancil Hoffman Park! read more

These guys are truly clueless They take and order over charge you then 20 min later tell you that they forgot to put your order in at the time there were only 2 customers 7$ for a 1/2 a shot of Jack 8$ for a small beer Total joke i guess they think they can get away with this because it's at a public golf course I will never go near this place again ! Ps . The guy said he was sorry as he was eating his lunch ... You can't make this stuff up .... read more
