Came in for first time to treat mom for Mother's Day dinner. We didn't get to sit outside on the top deck, but we didn't get promptly seated outside on the ground level. They have umbrellas to keep you shaded. Our server was Dallas and he was great! Very personable and helpful with menu items and explaining them. Our group had poke nachos and beet salad for appetizers. Both were excellent and a must try. Our dishes were California burger, truffle burger, turkey blt sandwich and the Ruben. Everyone was happy with each entree we got. Fresh ingredients, the burgers were solid. The crème brûlée was excellent too. The nutmeg on top worked so well with it. Will definitely be trying again and can't wait to try other dishes. read more

I went there for lunch with a couple friends and had a really good experience overall. We sat upstairs on the balcony, which made for a nice atmosphere and a relaxed lunch. It was pretty busy, so it took a while to get our drinks and food, which was the only downside. Once everything came out though, the food and drinks were really good and worth the wait. I would go back again, just ideally when it is a little less busy or with more time to spare. read more

Ok so all of this area is a nice vibe! I see why folks are just outside. Plank was a nice spot for the large group I was with! Now when you walk up you'll smell the smoker going! The only issue was the menu didn't reflect the smell! I asked what was being smoked and was told pastrami, turkey, and the wings. I was a little disappointed but I persevered. I went with the turkey BLT because I was he'll bent on tasting the smoked turkey. I was disappointed in the sandwich. My turkey meat was cold! I was fully expecting a warm/hot sandwich but I didn't get it. Also my sandwich was dry! No aoli on there like the menu said. Overall the sandwich was a disappointment. Why 4 stars you ask? Because the folks around me food looked really good. Some folks had wings, they were good I tried some. Some folks went with the Ruben, and the steak sandwich both looked really good. The sliders the waitress said was small looked like they could've been a meal! So just know I'll come again! read more

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. read more

Rock n Tots appetizer is a must!!! Perfectly crispy tots smothered with Mac and cheese bbq sauce and pulled pork.

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Great food and ambience, I've been going here for over 4 years and still love to come down on a random Saturday!

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

A dear friend suggested we have a double date at Plank. I had not been there in years and this visit reminded me why. We had great service at the bar and at our table. The good ends there. One appetizer (burrata) was decent but served on toast. As in white bread toast (not crostini). Even a cracker would have been better. My friend ordered the artichoke which had zero meat on the leaves and was so undercooked you could hardly pull a leaf off the choke. Our server was kind enough to take that off our bill. I had the Mac and cheese which was flavorless and the other three people in our party did not care for their food at all. I can't understand how people like the food here. We also were seated upstairs and it was roasting up there. Absolutely won't return. read more

I intended to go to a different restaurant but I'm glad I came to this one instead! Customer service was good. A lot of tables to sit at inside, outside, and upstairs. Outside seating has water misters. They have a bar inside but I didn't order from it. Highly recommend mushroom portabella burger; has an Asian zing to it, but the flavors blend well. Sweet potato fries and tater tots are nice and crispy. My fried fish was a good size with a crispy outside but I wish the fish inside was more firm (it was on the softer side). Calamari was good with flavorful dipping sauces. I heard the chicken wings are really good; they are smoked. All burgers are made fresh; not previously frozen. Kids meals have a good size portion. read more

Driving back from High hill ranch, my bf and I stopped in Folsom for some shopping, got hungry and made our way to the historic district of Folsom. It was our first time exploring the area and came across Planks! They take reservations on Yelp, however, the time we went al~3:15pm the hostess was kind enough to let us know we didn't have too. But after tasting the food and drinks we understand why you need to make a reservation during peak hours! First of all, walking in the vibe is comforting, the staff are welcoming, the restaurant is immaculate, they have large front windows with so much natural lighting, they have a small bar area, some tables that are hybrid of booth and chairs, and high top tables, and outside area in the front back and rooftop/deck. I ordered the hibisculicious Paloma drink, it was a perfect balanced cocktail! We ordered the tots that were covered with BBQ sauce, macaroni, and shredded beef with scallions, such a delicious combination, and Chef Cynthia's Ceviche made with shrimp that was fully cooked/deveined with tostadas, it had a similar taste of a coctèl de camarones. I personally like heat when I eat Mariscos so I wish it had more of a kick. Overall, we had such a great experience and would definitely be stopping by again when in the area! Don't forget to check out all the little boutique shops, the river walk, and more on Sutter! read more

My first visit there found friendly courteous staff, an efficient kitchen and responsive bar. Be sure to reserve a table ahead of time. Tucked into one end of the Folsom historic district, this cozy restaurant served the best burgers according to my lunchmates who live locally. They had the Rodeo Burger and Napa Salad topped with ahi tuna. I had the Farmer Salad, minus olives, with a portobello mushroom added. I enjoyed the fresh ingredients though I wished the portobello mushroom was bigger. I guess I envisioned a cap at least four inches across. Maybe it started that size. My companions food looked great and perhaps one day I'll try a burger there. Parking can be challenging, but we lucked out, finding a basement spot in the building just east of PCK&B. After eating, enjoy a lovely turn around Sutter St., peek into unusual shops, and imagine the how it looked back in the mid 1800's. Be prepared for several sidewalk stair runs and maneuvering around other folks walking about. read more

The location in historic is the perfect mixture of historic, quaint and modern. The staff greeted us first thing and were so friendly and welcoming. Once seated we checked out the menu which truly has something for everyone. So many options for food and for drink. I am kind of an iced tea snob and even though this was a stormy day, I just wanted an iced tea. It was so good. Refreshing and flavorful. They also have a full selection of soft drinks, cocktails, wine, beer and mocktails! We ordered the cheese curds for an appetizer. Having been to Wisconsin and having cheese curds there, these cheese curds were definitely leveled up and delicious. We then ordered lunch. My daughter ordered the spicy chicken mac and cheese. I ordered the tomato soup and grilled cheese. My daughter's lunch was absolutely perfect. A healthy portion of chicken and mac and cheese, two meals worth for sure. The flavor was amazing. I was lucky she let me have a taste! I ordered the pulled pork Mac and cheese, it was delicious as well. The serving equally large. The manager was amazing, she came By and made sure we were happy with our meals. We will definitely be back. The experience was perfect. read more

Sometimes the best memories are the unplanned ones. What started as a spontaneous date day adventure led us to the charming streets of Historic Folsom, where we stumbled upon Plank's Craft Kitchen & Bar -- a rustic gem with just the right mix of cozy and cool. From the moment we walked in, the hospitality was impeccable. The service? Flawless. Our server was on point from start to finish -- warm welcome, perfectly timed courses, and not once did our glasses go dry. Everything flowed with such ease, it felt like we were regulars. Drinks first, because priorities: * The Lake Lennon was a total hit -- crisp, refreshing, and that subtle hint of cucumber was chef's kiss. * The Strawberry Gimlet was almost too easy to drink. Sweet, smooth, and gone in the blink of an eye. * The Bees Knees packed the strongest punch of the three, but when I asked for a splash of lemonade to mellow it out, they happily brought it over -- instantly elevated the whole experience. Appetizer: We went with the cheese curds, and let me tell you, these weren't your average bar snack. Lightly crisped on the outside, gooey on the inside, and paired with a homemade marinara that deserves its own spotlight. I genuinely contemplated licking the bowl. No shame. Main Course: We split the Cali Club -- and it was everything. Super fresh, balanced flavors, and not a trace of that questionable chicken you sometimes get in sandwiches (IYKYK). The tater tots were golden and perfectly crunchy, and the trio of dipping sauces (chipotle, ranch, and ketchup) were clearly house-made and next-level tasty. In short, Plank's delivered big time. Whether you're planning a night out or just happen to wander in like we did, this place hits all the right notes -- delicious food, creative drinks, and stellar service. We left full, happy, and already plotting our return. read more

Wow! What an incredible dining experience. We stopped by Plank Craft Kitchen & Bar and were seriously impressed from start to finish. We started with Arata's Burrata - so creamy and fresh, it was the perfect! The flavors were simple yet elevated, and it paired beautifully with the fresh herbs and drizzle of balsamic. For mains, we shared the Steak and Chimichurri Sandwich and the Folsom Rodeo Burger. Both were absolutely packed with flavor. The steak sandwich was a standout -- juicy, tender steak with just the right kick from the chimichurri, layered with melty provolone and pesto aioli on a soft steak roll. It was next-level good! The Rodeo Burger was pure comfort food bliss. Between the crispy fried onions, smoky bacon, tangy BBQ sauce on a brioche bun. The vibe of the place is warm and they have an upstairs patio. Service was excellent! Highly recommend!! read more

The barbecue here is very good and the meat was tender and delicious. The sauces available were good, but not the very best ever. But that is just opinion. Service was very good, with great quality.

Visited with some friends on a Friday evening and the place was jumping. We had reservations and were seated immediately. They offer both inside and outside seating, including a roof top area where we were seated. Service was excellent throughout the meal. Then there was the food...which based on their name "Craft Kitchen ", I was expecting to be unusual and exciting. Although everything was good, it was food that can be found anywhere. Prices are high, but not ridiculous, it's just that the food is average in every way....flavor, presentation and quality......average, average, average. With that in mind, I can't think of a reason to return. We were not mad, just disappointed. "Craft Kitchen" to me means unique, unusual, skillfully prepared and presented in a fashion that is unlike anything else. Sadly, it is not! read more

Whenever we're near Folsom, we always try to grab a bite at this restaurant. Their food, service, and ambiance have consistently been excellent. We usually eat here when it is cooler and haven't been able to try the rooftop option. We were excited that the weather was ideal and we were able to sit there last night. As the sun went down, we figured we'd order some drinks while we checked out the menu. My husband ordered his favorite Plank burger with sweet potato fries. I decided to get the white truffle fettuccine alfredo with chicken. While we waited for our food, we enjoyed the perfect view of downtown with our drinks. He ordered the Knee Deep Hoptologist DIPA & I ordered a glass of Pinot Grigio. Once the food arrived, we were ready to eat. My husband commented that their fries never disappoint, and the burger was just to his liking. My fettuccine Alfredo was perfect, except maybe I'd chose grilled chicken next time. I didn't realize the description mentioned panko-crusted chicken breast, and I did not think it paired well. Overall we still agree, this restaurant is one of our favorites. We'll always try for rooftop seating if the weather's nice. It makes the entire experience even better! read more
