The structure: This neighborhood little sports bar is great! They have fun games for everyone…read moreincluding kids, lots of TVs and a big bar area. The FOOD: Not great at all...hardly even good. I don't think I have ever been to an establishment where everything that we ordered was pretty bad. We ordered chicken wings... half of the order was barbecue the other half was parmesan and herb. They were dry and the flavor was lacking in both. I also ordered their fried pickles. I didn't know it was possible to mess those up until the basket of yummy,flavorful pickles came and were completely wet and soggy with breading coming off of it. What a disappointment. My husband ordered the brisket sandwich with their cheesy potatoes. The waitress described it as like a fully loaded potato.That sounds yummy, only it wasn't. It was presented as partially mashed potatoes with chunks in it and the cheesy flavor was almost like the flavor from a packet of mac and cheese sauce. The sandwich was a flavorless tasting shredded barbecue. We asked for barbecue sauce to put on the sandwich and it tasted like somebody put vinegar and sugar in that sauce. I ordered the chopped BBQ sourdough bread sandwich and there's no way that was sourdough that I was eating but instead tasted like bread that was toasted. That was probably the best thing I ate was just the bread because the meat was as I described before no flavor and very disappointing. I also ordered fries and thought at least I can eat these but I was wrong. Even their frozen fries were lacking in flavor. We also both ordered iced tea and asked for yes, artificial sweetener and we were informed that they don't carry any. Just regular sugar. That was a first for me! Never ever been to any restaurant or eating establishment that didn't carry a variety of sugar for people who drink iced tea. It's unfortunate that everything my husband and I ordered was really bad. It almost was comical except that we paid $80 for that inedible food. The Service: Our server, Ana was awesome!! She was the only one taking care of everybody and she did it flawlessly. When we asked for extra sauce, she delivered it quickly. She was good about checking on all the customers even though there were only 4 of us in total. A family of 5 left 10 minutes after we arrived and 2 people sat at the bar 15 minutes after we ordered. She had a great attitude and smiled a lot. She said she was new to the job but her actions made it look as though she were a veteran. OVERALL: The service was great and the establishment itself is a great neighborhood sports bar hang out but the food was really really bad. It wouldn't have been a terrible thing if just one or maybe two items we ordered weren't that great but the fact that every single thing including the tea was bad, is the reason that we will not visit this place again. By the way, it took me a couple of weeks to write this, because I aim to see the good in everything. I do not like to receive negativity or give it. It was difficult to be that honest especially when other people in the reviews really liked the food. Good for them! I do hope that this place will have enough customers to stay open for a long time. I wish them the best of luck.

Shoutout to Folsom, CA. Poppy's Bar & Que…read more Before walking on the Johnny Cash Trail, we decided to try out Poppy's Bar & Que on East Natoma Street across the street from the community center. We saw the smoker in the front of the building. I do luv me some good ole BBQ. So off we went. We ordered a double down plate $26: two 7oz protein choices with cole slaw on brioche and an 8 oz side choice. Brisket and pulled pork were our protein choices with and potato salad. We bought another side, macaroni salad. We requested that the pulled pork be placed on the side and additional sauce. I dislike being that customer with persnickety preferences. But we were, and they didn't blink an eye. Super accommodating. The pulled pork had a deep smoky flavor. Tender shredded pieces. Mmm. The sauce was served on the side. That too was delicious. Hubs had the brisket and wolfed that down before I could swipe a piece. Darn. The potato salad was tasty. Slightly tangy, which I really liked. The place is family owned and operated. It's a sports bar and family friendly bbq joint. Giving off family friendly vibes. But hey, a bar and family friendly? Yes. They both co-exist harmoniously. Talking about sports. The TVs of course are tuned onto sports. All of the screens are strategically placed throughout. They even have framed signed football jerseys from USC Trojans, Denver Broncos, and 49ers to name a few. Pretty neat.

This time, we stopped by to celebrate my husband's birthday week, and as always, it did not disappoint. The restaurant is a decent size with both indoor and outdoor seating available. Everything is always spotless, from the dining area to the condiment bottles, which somehow always look brand new Now, let's talk about the food. They have a great selection of mimosas, and my husband's favorite is the pineapple coconut mimosa. If you're a chocolate lover, I highly recommend trying the Ghirardelli hot chocolate. My husband ordered the classic Eggs Benedict and said it's one of the best he's ever had--which is saying a lot! I ordered the avocado toast with country-style potatoes, and it was delicious. However, my absolute favorite item is their cinnamon pancake. If I had to describe it in one word, it would be Christmas. It's warm, comforting, and full of flavor. If you're visiting for the first time, I definitely recommend ordering it. The customer service was excellent as always--friendly, attentive, and welcoming. One tip: try to come early in the morning because this place gets busy quickly. We always have a wonderful experience here and can't wait to come back again!

4.5/5 Decided to…read moregive this place a shot after seeing it was open during a grocery run. A few words to summarize this place....fresh, bright, and crispy. I'll admit, upon walking in I didn't get my hopes up too high as it felt and looked like another place trying to cash in on the Hot Chicken craze. The menu, although diverse, seemed kind of boring at the same time. The heat levels are just original, mild, spicy, and hot. If youre looking for the rip your B hole spice, you wont find it here, but the hot level is decent enough for me without having to consider my life choices. My wife thought the spicy option was plenty hot, but not unbearable. When the food came out, it all looked great. You know how at some of these places the food just looks kind of slopped together? Not here. Starting off with the chicken sandwich: The chicken was incredibly crispy, not dry but not juicy either. I'm pretty sure this is frozen commercial bought. The pieces of chicken were exactly the same shape. But with that being said this is one of the best hot chicken sandwiches I've had in a long time. The bread was toasted, the chicken was actually crispy, the coleslaw was fresh and actually had crisp and bite (no soggy wet slaw) The fries, again, probably commercially bought. Strangely uniform also in size and shape, but fantastic none the less. Very crispy outside, soft and fluffy on the inside. The wings were deep fried to perfection. "Nashville" just means dry rubbed, but very crispy, not overfried. The best part...not over-priced (6 for $7) My only complaints: They don't have honey (a usual offering at hot chicken joints) And I wish the chicken was a bit bigger to fill the buns (thats what she said) Drinks are not fountain so you might have to ration if the spice is high for you. But there is a purified water dispenser available. My new favorite hot chicken place in the area

When we sat at a table she did her best not to grimace as she cleaned it. Food. I ordered the veggie wrap. It was filled with wet slimy veggies and oozed something. I think it was Italian dressing. Warm Italian dressing. I honestly thought this was a fresh veggie wrap. It was terrible. My friend ordered. The sandwich had as a side the garlic fries. The waitress presented the food and then a minute later said the cook forgot to toss it in the garlic. She took the plate to "toss" them in the garlic but the garlic and oil was just poured on top in one spot. Gross. They didn't eat the fries where the garlic was "deposited." The waitress did check on us and did refill our drinks but the grimace on her face never went away. There are so few restaurants in Cool. It would be nice if they were good with great food but this one is not. Not friendly either. Friendly goes a long way. It helps soften the blow of mediocre food.

If you are able to climb a few steps, then no problem but anyone in a wheelchair or unable to climb a few steps, will have to step out of the restaurant, walk several steps and enter through another door to access the bathrooms. The bar had a great selection of alcohol and they had some pretty good signature drinks. Since we arrived at 3:10, the indoor grill wasn't ready for grilling steaks (grill takes time to heat and would be ready at 4) but did inform us that they could cook any steak on a cast iron skillet. Our party opted for the lunch menu and one person chose her steak to be cooked on the cast iron skillet. I ordered a Smoked Old Fashioned and requested Whistle Pig Bourbon. My cocktail was delicious and prepared properly. My aunt ordered a Cadillac Margarita and said it was strong and delicious. She also ordered an Espresso Martini after dinner and it was equally as delicious. I ordered the Longhorn. This was a smoked tri-tip sandwich with sautéed mushrooms, onions and bell peppers and topped with melted American cheese and substituted onion rings rather than French fries. The bread was so soft and I could taste the smokiness from the tri-tip. All flavors were perfectly balanced and seasoned. I would definitely order this again. The onion rings were hand beer battered and fried to perfection. My friend ordered the Western Burger. The burger had 90% lean angus beef, pepper jack cheese, onion rings, sweet bbq sauce and came with a side, she opted for onion rings. She said the burger was delicious. We ordered the crème brûlée cheese cake. OMG!!! This was one of the best cheesecakes I've ever had!! Highly, highly recommend this dessert!! Our waiter, Jordan was attentive and accommodating. He provided great service. But one of favorite things, the restaurant had amazing paper napkins!! I know this seems trivial and crazy, but I dislike cheap napkins and the need to keep asking for additional napkins because they simply don't hold up. Overall, please support Stubby's, they're a local small business and have great food, cocktails and amazing service.
