The tenderloin was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The cheeseburger fries were delicious! Two smash burgers, all the topping and their special sauce over fries, yum!

They have a bell you can ring by the door on the way out if you are happy with the service. The was a lot of happy customers. Seating is good for large parties.

Nope, he wouldn't and since it was Sutter Home, how good would it be anyway? We were welcome to go somewhere else. We did! Went to the Fort Diner and had a great! Cheap! Cajun! Burger!

so I went here with my family and I was ordering my food and I wasn't even done ordering when the girl taking our order didn't even tell us the total and we had to repeat the same thing a million times. then she restarted our whole order and I am very angry that the staff is treating the costumers like garbage. Also they didn't even fill our drinks all the way! She was very rude and told us our order was a lot for only four people. I would suggest telling your employees to treat others with respect!! DO BETTER!! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!!! She had tattoos all over her arms and we weren't able to understand her and we didn't even have all of our food. Plus our bag was ripped an we only got nine chicken nuggets. The food was nasty and soggy. read more

The service was friendly, and fast. The overall surroundings were nice and 'homey', and everything was clean. After you order they give you a thing to put on your table and then they bring your order to you. Didnt have to wait long and a nice young man came by with our food. I got the spicy chicken sandwich and lattice fries meal for less than ten bucks. For this area, that is a good price for lunch. I dont remember if there was lettuce and tomato on the sandwich so I will pay closer attention next time. Fresh bun, good flavor on the chicken, and good spice level. The lattice fries were really good and salted just right. I couldnt figure out the ketchup at first, as it comes in a little plastic cup that you either pull the end off to squirt or peel the top back to dip. Same type of container for the chicken dipping sauce. These types of sauce containers make it hard to utilize all the ketchup or sauce. The pop was good. I wish there was a fountian where you could go back and get more, as the amount of ice in the drink seems to limit how much drink you are actually getting. The bathrooms reminded me of what you would get in a fancy hotel, from a design, cleanliness, and overall layout and function. Really impressed with that. Only suggestions would be to have fountain pop for refills, and have the condiments (maybe just the K and M) where the customer can squirt them out as needed. My coworker pointed out that the menu options are not a mile long. But I think we both agreed that they have figured out how nail a collection of items, and deliver a quick quality meal. I am going back, I am interested in consistency, how is it when they are busy, and is the service and quality the same from day to day. One thing I must add, is that if you want to replicate the chick fil a at home, get the red back chicken from aldi and, and get the dipping sauce they make. Aldi also has a bun that is the same. Makes me wonder if the chicken Aldi sells comes from the same people that make the chick fil a. It is that similar.
