    Steak Chimmichuri Sandwich FTW
    Cheryl G.

    This place is awesome! I love the atmosphere and this old home. We ate outside, it was a beautiful day and they've got a great wraparound deck with outdoor seating and lots of big umbrellas. Our server was helpful picking out a draft beer and let me try a couple. I went with the Gummy Worm Hazy Pale Ale, YUM! He also suggested the chimichurri steak sandwich which my fiancé and I shared, as well as the golden beet salad. Everything was super tasty. The meat on the sandwich was tender and flavorful, and the fries were perfectly crispy. He also suggested to try a housemaid chipotle sauce for dipping, score again for our awesome waiter! I love the location on the main street in Folsom. Sitting on that upper deck was great people watching. We would 100% return to this location.

    Rock n Tots appetizer is a must!!! Perfectly crispy tots smothered with Mac and cheese bbq sauce and pulled pork. Ordered a the plank burger, came with onions lettuce tomatoes, bacon, pickles and plank sauce (which is a spicy mayo) and comes with a side of fries which were nice and crispy on the outside and potato-y soft inside.

    Great experience! The food, drinks, and overall vibe all came together perfectly--I loved it. The poke nachos were so good. The espresso martini was super strong (in the best way)--the buzz hit instantly. My friends devoured their burgers, and the burrata appetizer was absolutely delicious. Parking isn't the best, but we got lucky and found a spot in the garage.

    Fish n tots, ranch, chipotle & tartar sauce

    Starting off we were greeted and seated right away for a party of 5 around 115pm on a Saturday. Our waitress was nice and friendly. We sat on the outside on the screened in patio which was great and nicely decorated. There are outdoor heaters if you're cold, we had to turn them off. The food was good. We had fish n chips but instead of chips we got tots. I do feel that the tots were a bit overcooked but they were still good. The fish was nicely battered and tasty. The tartar sauce was delicious! We also got a half order Caesar salad that was good. Our friend got fries she didn't want, so we took them, they were good as well. I would say this place is pleasantly good. Maybe not 5 stars worth rating, but I'd definitely come back.

    French Dip
    Nick N.

    Decided to give this place another shot with another party of 6. Per the previous experience we opted to call ahead to make sure we would be able to get seated. We were told that they had room, but had to leave by a certain time which I feel like maybe I'm responsible for that per my previous review. Hmmm I wonder..... Either way we were promptly seated with drink orders placed. The party ordered the French dip, the Fish and Chips, Rock and tots, and one of the scratch mac and cheeses. The rock and tots and the pulled pork machine is essentially the exact same. They taste nearly exactly the same other than having tots. The French dip was pretty blah and the fish and chips were ok....not crispy, soggy. Our French Dip order was also ordered with fries and it came out with a salad. We got it corrected, but they didn't change the bill. Apparently its an uncharge for salad, but you wouldn't know that unless you paid attention to the price off the menu. You know how some places say $20 + $3 for salad or something? Not here. It will just say $23. So if the food you ordered is $20 and they got the order wrong, it might have slid by you that they charged you the uncharted price. Kind of shady. The food overall was decent. Service was good. Cozy environment, but I would still say not a good place for larger parties.

    Mama was hungry and need food quick. We were walking by and I just had to try. To the plank we go! Drinks, apps, and dinner. Say less. Never in my life did I think I was getting so much Mac n cheese. Let me tell you it is delicious and good the next day. Salad was fresh, crisp, and flavorful. Onions rings is a yes with plank sauce! Drinks were yummy. Disliked large ice cube. Hard to drink. Server was being trained but she was nice! Would go back.

    We were walking by yesterday afternoon and asked a worker if we'd be able to get a table Sat night he said no problem! Arrived a little before 6 it was really busy but got seated right away by firepit.Waitress let us move to front patio because it was little too cold. We had burrata app,buttermilk chicken and chicken fettuccine. Fantastic service and food/drinks came out quick!

    Chimichurri Steak Sandwich
    Jonathan K.

    I ordered the Rock N Tots and the Chimichurri Steak Sandwich. The Rock N Tots were the highlight of the meal. It is a mixture of jalapeño mac and cheese and BBQ pulled pork topped with their chipotle Plank sauce. I might order the larger portion next time as my main meal. The Chimichurri Steak Sandwich was good, although I felt they were a bit skimpy with the steak. The fries were well seasoned with a nice crisp. They provide complimentary ranch and Plank sauce upon request. I appreciate that it is not one of those places that nickel and dimes you for extra sauce. It was a busy night due to the tree lighting event, but the service was still good. We sat outside. It was cold, but the outdoor heaters made it comfortable enough. I'll be back for the Rock N Tots!

    BBQ boneless wings
    John F.

    My family and I went to visit Historic Folsom on a Saturday to see the holiday decorations and to stroll around, and after walking around for 2 hours, we wanted to find a place to eat dinner. We chose Plank Craft Kitchen & Bar because they seem to offer a good variety of American classics. When we entered we were greeted by the hostess. My 4 year-old son bravely asked to be seated upstairs and we were given a choice of booth or their outdoor balcony with heat lamps. We opted for the balcony because we wanted to see the view of street. The restaurant was rustic and cozy with dim, warm lighting. It was almost a full house! So we appreciate the calm and quiet of the balcony table, since we were the only ones there. The menu offered all the American classics: cheeseburgers, sandwiches (deli/hot), Mac and cheese, and more. We opted for the fried calamari and BBQ boneless wings for our apps. Then we chose chicken marsala, Planksgiving sando (seasonal), and a kids cheeseburger meal. Fried calamari: When it comes to calamari, seasoning is the most important. So no complaints here! Seasoned and the breading was thin, which is in our books - perfect! Our waitress said their breading is made in-house! (10/10) Boneless bbq chicken wings: Breading was a bit tougher here. Some pieces had a thicker dredge and some less. Some pieces had more meat and some had less. But it was sauced! (8/10) Chicken Marsala: The chicken breast wasn't too thick, so it was not still moist. I really liked the mushroom sauce as it gives the chicken more moisture. It really binds the dish together. (7/10) Planksgiving Sando: It was filled with thick cuts of turkey deli meat, a spread of smoky garlicky cheese spread, plenty of lettuce, and cranberry sauce. This was honestly a bit dry, it definitely needed more sauce or cheese. We felt like something was missing. (5/10) Kids Cheeseburger: Our son really enjoyed his cheeseburger and fries. He had 0 complaints Our waitress was welcoming and attentive. The service was quick! Be sure to check it out whenever you're in the area.

    Patty Melt
    Ted D.

    Lunch today was a terrific first visit. Was met at the door by Frankie who was warm and super welcoming - also a wave from John (owners). The place has great seating, both inside and beautiful outdoor, on both floors. The decor is very homey and nostalgic and today, Memorial Day, there was added red, white and blue everywhere. Anna was our server and quickly turned best friend. Very knowledgeable about the menu and offered good advice based on our tastes. She kept close watch-on us, frequently refilling drinks and other requests. We had the Fried Chicken Sando served in a protein bowl with sweet potato fries. Outstanding. I had the Patty Melt, cooked to my perfect medium with two cheeses, perfect grilled onions and excellent sourdough bread. We would order both again. The place was packed by 12:30 so reservations suggested. The place is also spotless and that includes the restroom! Run, don't walk to Plank. We will be returning very soon!

    Becky D.

    We hosted my husband's birthday party at Plank and the team did an awesome job. Frankie and John made it extra special for us and Regan was an awesome server. All the food was fabulous. Between all of us, I think we ordered the entire menu! Highly recommend.

    Plate minus the truffle burger.

    It was delicious!! The ambiance is perfect for group settings and friends. The service is great! I got the truffle one Parmesan burger which was quickly eaten. The proof is in the photo.

    Ask the Community - Plank Craft Kitchen & Bar

    Do they still have the burger sliders?

    Yes they do. The BBQ Bourbon Sliders come 3 to a plate.

    Can you make the ahi poke gluten free?

    Hi Robyn Unfortunately the wonton crisp have a little bit of wheat flour mixed with the rice flour. So sorry.

    What does "sub in a bowl +2" mean under the plank burger?

    Instead of on a bun, it turns into a larger burger salad for an additional $2.

    Do they have highchairs?

    Plank does have highchairs and booster seats

    Do they have gluten free menu items?

    Unfortunately, I did not notice any gluten free items in their menu. However they do have delicious salads, and my mother ordered the poke but only ate the fish (not the nachos).

    Do they have happy hour?

    I did not notice a happy hour menu in the restaurant, but each time that I've visited it was early afternoon.

    Do they do brunch on weekdays?

    No brunch. Easter and mother's day there will be brunch.

I have no clue what she made either on of us, but baby when I tell you my cocktail was fantastic! This bartender didn't come to play, she is the absolute truth. My drink had a little kick to it which was good with a smoky taste with a hint of fruit flavor. It's like nothing I had before, but I would ask for it again. I'm glad I took a photo lol.

They offer food too so I'd like to return to try out some apps in addition to some signature drinks next time. The other bartender who served us was great as well; congrats to him for being recently promoted to bartender! I'm looking forward to taking more friends here and exploring more drinks. Thanks!

Who doesn't love the idea of a speakeasy?? We decided to head to Roseville in pursuit of a secret place. We found the secret door, knocked, and a young man answered. He asked for the password. Unfortunately I am not on social media and that's where you're supposed to find it. Bummer! I decided to use my own password. It worked and we entered the inner sanctum. It was a cool, smallish place with nice decor. The bar was the first thing we saw. I looked around to see a few tables and couches to the left. It was pretty early and there were only a few people there so we got a cozy little table in front of a velvety couch. I went to the bar where a burly tattooed OG bartender greeted me. I ordered an old fashioned and a raspberry lemon drop. My old fashioned was done very well. I'm on an old fashioned kick right now and love to try them at different places that look like they know how to make them. This one was really good. My friend wasn't so keen on her lemon drop, saying the lavender was a bit overpowering. We had another round and this time she had something different that she enjoyed. My second old fashioned was just as good as the first. It was getting later and more people happened to have the password and it was getting crowded. We were done, paid the tab, which wasn't bad considering how most speakeasy's can be pretty pricy. Overall, it was a great experience, the place was nice, friendly, and the drinks were done well. Give it a shot. Find the password, or use your own if you dare!

    Tucked behind an unassuming alley in Old Roseville sits a green door marked only with the number…read more323. No signs. No bell. No sliding peek window. No sound leaking through the walls. You'd be forgiven for thinking you were in the wrong place or about to make a mistake and put yourself into a sketchy place. We looked around for a more "realistic" entry way not knowing the most realistic entry way is one that looks like a back door to a closed vacuum or furniture storefront. That's exactly the point. You knock. Immediately, the door opens. A man in a cowboy hat looks you over. He doesn't wear a name tag. He doesn't need one. He asks, "You have something to say?" If you've done your homework, and say the right thing, the door stays open. You're in. I do not know what happens if you do not have the word. What follows is less a bar and more a pocket of time. The interior is small but well conceived. The bar sits directly at the entrance, flanked by a few standing guests and several small tables. Beyond that, the space opens up into a lounge with seating for six to eight, and a longer bench-style area for a dozen or so. The walls are dark, the lighting low. It's the kind of place that feels like it remembers what Prohibition was, even if most of us never lived it. It felt like walking onto a movie set where we might be extras, and the main characters would enter and play out a scene. It was a perfect example of a speak easy in full swing. Even the glassware was legitimate. The decor is intentional. Books tucked into corners. Stags mounted on the wall. Nothing feels store-bought or trendy. It's immersive without trying too hard. The seats were not overstuffed contemporary types nor were the tables or even foot stools. They all looked like they came from a speak easy back in the day. About the only thing that did not look like the real thing were the patrons, as they were dressed casually, and of course the iPhones. I suppose that would have caused quite a ruckus during prohibition! Conversations are constant, layered over each other and laughter. It gets loud, but not obnoxious. There's a rhythm to the space that holds. My suggestion is to not go at 7pm on a Saturday and hope to get a prized table, couch or seat. Now, to the drinks. House Divided serves anything you ask for, but they lean into the theme. Classic cocktails done right. Throwbacks with historical lean. Creative new entries like lavender martinis that aren't just gimmicks. Each drink feels made by someone who knows what they're doing and takes pride in the process. This is not vodka-soda speed bar territory. It's craft, and it shows. I did not see a bottle of ocean spray anywhere, but what I did see were large glass bottles labeled with the juice or concoction held within. The little details are obvious! If I were to translate my usual framework:    *   Ambiance and Service: 4 stars (it can get loud and if you are here to have a conversation it will be difficult)    *   Quality: 5 stars- I had a simple drink - vodka and cranberry. With something "special" that the tender added. I don't know what it was, but the taste was wonderful! Way different than my standard go to!    *   Value? That depends on whether you're measuring price per ounce, or the fact that you just got to walk through a green door into another world. But in reality, 5 stars. Do I wish for more seating? Yes. Perhaps more quiet? Yes. But if it were those things, would it be the same? No. My guess is going on a Saturday at 7pm is going to be a bit crowded, and loud. That's my fault, and testament to their quality. Next, I found the staff to be great! Even the doorman gave it character, cowboy hat and boots and all! Great experience!

These foods range from pretzels to BBQ meatballs, Fish tacos and pizza. We tried the BBQ meatballs ($6.00) and they were extremely tasty.

Our dishes were perfectly prepared and came out more quickly than we expected, considering that the place was almost full. Our server checked back just enough and took care of any special requests promptly, even offering to exchange one of the wines (out of six!) that we didn't like for something better suited to our taste. The pace was leisurely which was fine given the good food and wine accompanied by the relaxed vibe of the live music. And the prices were quite reasonable given the quality of both the food and service.

    We came in for a casual date night and had a great time! Prime time (6 on a Friday) the wait was…read moreonly about 15-20 minutes with plenty of room at the bar. There was plenty of seating on the shady patio, but it was really hot outside, so we opted to wait for a table inside. We had a drink and watched the NBA finals on the TVs (there was no sound so it wasn't noisy). I tried the Mustang Sally cocktail and it was well balanced and delicious! We were seated for dinner pretty quickly. The only problem I had was deciding what to order. The luau shrimp salad? Meatball sub? I finally decided on the lobster mac and cheese. While the portion wasn't large, it was delicious! Creamy and mild with fresh lobster (not fishy) and garlicy breadcrumbs. My husband got the ribeye and was thin but large with great seasoning and veggies. I'm not a big steak fan but I really liked it. We ended up grabbing some beignets to go for the kids, which were really tasty and came with 3 dipping sauces (our favorite was the Berry, although we ended up eating most of them without sauce). The atmosphere was upscale, but very casual, quiet and fun. We saw families with young children, couples on dates, and friends enjoying a meal together. It was the perfect vibe that we were looking for, comfortable, but classy. And the food was high-quality and tasty. We will definitely be back!

    My wife and I visited yesterday to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Unfortunately, the experience…read moregot off to a disappointing start. Upon entering, the hostess with the brown curly hair was noticeably rude and unwelcoming, which isn't the first impression you'd hope for when celebrating a special occasion. The food, however, was outstanding and was definitely the highlight of the evening. Every dish we ordered was well-prepared and delicious. Service was a mixed experience. While our server was polite, the service was quite slow throughout the meal, despite the restaurant being fairly empty at the time. Overall, the excellent food helped make up for some of the service issues, but the rude greeting and slow service took away from what should have been a memorable anniversary dinner. I hope management addresses these concerns, as the kitchen is clearly doing a great job.

We decided to skip Yard House and that was a wise choice.(If you want better quality food just go to Back Bistro!) We had Beef short ribs,Steak blue cheese salad,Cobb salad and Truffle Mac n Cheese entrees. For dessert we had toffee sticky pudding,burlee and chocolate pot de crème. It was just amazing!Great service too !

Steak was made well done though when we asked medium well .. the potatoes were soft and yummy. The fish & rice was great! A fried ball of flavored rice topped with a thick cut of seared tuna with some I believe unagi and spicy mayo sauce.. it went well together! I loved it! My main dish was the braised short ribs .. it was so tender you did not need to cut it with a knife! 2 thumbs up! My friend's main dish was the seasonal pasta add shrimp... I didn't try it but it looked delicious Our server was great! He was attentive and made sure to come by to refill and ask if we needed anything ever so often. Perfect place for a nice sit down and chat and enjoy some delicious food

    UPDATE: Manderes has it all. Great food, casual ambiance and…read moreexceptional service. It remains my absolute favorite go-to restaurant in Folsom or anywhere. The food is consistently phenomenal. A varied menu from appetizers to lunch and dinner items. These chefs have perfected every dish. Big portions... no skimping at Manderes. Top notch ingredients and just the right amount of seasoning. Special rotating dinner selections too. Just so many choices. The Mongolian pork chop is outta this world. The simple Angus burger is served between sourdough buns. No mushy regular hamburger buns. The fries are crisp, hot and plentiful. Salads, sandwiches, and mouth-watering appetizers. Someone is getting hungry just writing this!:) Happy Hour 3 to 5, Monday thru Friday. All the beer and wine selections are quality... with a capital Q. No crap on tap... as they say. Popular crab cakes, calamari, wings and more. You cannot go wrong. The customer service remains the best in the restaurant world. Seriously. Long time peeps who are pros. Every single one is incredible. You have their attention from start to finish. Hard workers. Manderes is not fancy. Ambiance is a cool, small, cozy area which includes a bar. Tables and high tops finish out the mix. Cool guitar memorabilia accents the walls and adds a cool vibe. And the juke box! Lotsa happy diners loving it all. Manderes has carved out quite the foodie reputation. It is not to be missed! Thanks, Brent, for providing a sensational community spot to meet, eat and be happy! Definitely locally owned! My lovely waitpersons: Amanda Angi Diego Ian Jen Mo Mandy Tyler Love you all!

Upon entering, I was pleasantly surprised to find what looked and felt like a local upscale pub with a large bar with TVs and various tables scattered around. The menu offers something for everyone, and the portions are generous. I opted to start with the garlic bread with a dipping sauce, followed by the Southwestern chicken salad entree special. The bread crust had garlic baked onto it, and the dipping sauce was huge and flavorful. The Southwestern salad exceeded my expectations. It was huge! The chicken was grilled and blackened and cooked to perfection and served on a bed of fresh lettuce with black beans, chopped onions, and blue cheese with a spicy dressing that was fantastic. The dish was so good that I'm tempted to go back tomorrow night. If you're looking for a casual dining spot with a friendly local vibe and amazing food, Manderes fits the bill! I appreciated the fact they had a couple of NA beer options along with a nice selection of beer on tap. Highly recommend!

    Went back for another lunch and it didn't disappoint. Yes, this place can be confusing because…read morethere are no servers and you have to order at the bar. I've watched many people seat themselves at tables and leave 10 minutes later because no one asked them what they wanted. Yes, the decor is stuck in the 90's, but I actually like it. The double smash burger I had was excellent. The bun they use is awesome and they charred the patty perfectly. It tasted way better than Fleming's Prime Steakhouse burger I had last week, that's for sure. The thick steak-cut fries are awesome, too. Over salted but nothing a cold beer can't cut through. Highly recommend their smash burger.

    I dropped by with a specific mission - to check out the Smashburger (as part of a burger…read morecompetition I'm participating in). If it wasn't for this "mission," there's a good chance I wouldn't have wandered in. I LOVE Sutter Street, but honestly I don't live nearby and don't have many reasons to come here. That said, I'm thankful for the mission and glad I dropped by. It's a super cute place and the bartender had a nice relaxed chill vibe to her. This is where I'd normally drop her name and give her kudos - but I didn't get her name. I thought her name would be on the receipt, but it wasn't! I assume her name isn't "Shift Night N" anyway, which would be weird - but that's what is listed for "server". Anyway... the burger... I liked it. I liked it a lot. I was not asked how I wanted it cooked (not expected or demanded by me) - but an observation that I toss in for comparison purposes. It was cooked to a solid medium, which is fine with me. Caramelized onions were standard - nice - but the tomato and lettuce were listed as 'optional' - and the bartender (Shift Night N) asked me if I wanted them. I opted in. The bun was above average - definitely a notch above the typical mass-produced buns often used elsewhere. I opted for sweet potato fries. They had good flavor. Personal preference-wise... I would have liked them to be cooked a smidge more. If/when I come back, I'll probably ask them to be crispy-er. Overall, thumbs up! I wouldn't hesitate to come back and try other things on the menu. #burgers
