    This is an absolute must try! We go here almost every week because we LOVE it! The customer service is great, the portions are huge and their mixed drinks are awesome! We love the eggs Benedict and the chicken and waffles!

    Patty melt with sweet potato fries
    Michelle S.

    Yes, yes, and yes. We went for a work dinner and we were all pleasantly surprised by the food. Not one person at our table finished their entrée because it was just so much food. There was a lot of food, but it was also reasonably priced. Everything we had was seasoned and cooked perfectly. The table started off with the brussels sprouts, the bread with the olive oil dip, the shrimp, appetizer and the spinach artichoke dip. Everyone tore into the appetizers. There was 16 of us and not one person had a single complaint. Everyone loved everything about every appetizer. When our food came, we were so full from the appetizers that none of us could finish our food. I got the patty melt, almost everyone in our party got the burger and one person got the chicken salad. None of us could finish anything. Every person at the table said that their food was so good. They wish they could finish their food. One person who actually lived in. Vacaville said that they would definitely be bringing their family back for breakfast or lunch. Our waitress was phenomenal. She was so engaging and kept us laughing the entire time. The restaurant was clean, the bathrooms were clean and every single person working there was smiling and they actually seemed like they were happy to be there with us. I did manage to eat half of my patty melt and it was really good, I got it with the sweet potato fries and blue cheese dressing to dip my fries in. I washed it all down with a Cadillac margarita. I am so super satisfied with the food and I would love to go again next time I'm up north.

    Putah Burger as a bowl no bun
    Taura G.

    This cafe was featured on Diners, DriveIns, and Dives about 15 years ago. They have limited open times but if you have a chance to eat here, do it! The staff greeted us during a busy lunch rush on a Wednesday. The place was packed. There is outside, inside, and bar counter seating. They also have delicious desserts in a display case up front. The Hostess was a young woman with a long pony tail. She was very customer service oriented and she had a lot of positive energy. We were seated within 2 mins of the lunch rush, at a spacious and comfortable booth near the door of the main dining room. We had a wonderful server named Ashley. She had the most positive attitude and great customer service. Our food: Putah Café Burger as a bowl with no bun, The PCC Pizza (Pepperoni, Ricotta, and drizzled honey), a Coca Cola, and water. The food was prepared well and came out within about 12 mins. We enjoyed our time here. We were too full to have dessert and they have SO MANY CHOICES. We tried every major restaurant place in this small town (7500 population) and Putah Café was the best food. The customer service is EXCELLENT and the positive and welcoming vibe is priceless.

    Country fried steak!! Soo delicious
    Meena P.

    Putah Creek Cafe is the place to be for breakfast lunch and dinner in the little town of Winters!! Walked in for lunch with 30 minutes to spare from my lunch break. I was acknowledged right away and customer service was phenomenal! It is a big place and man they STAY BUSY! I surprised I was able to get a table. I was taken care of very well! My waitress was very kind and my food came out quick and hot! I ordered the country fried steak! It was delicious and such a huge portion! I love the small town vibes of Winters, everyone knows each other, born and raised! Had their kids and their kids had kids! Generations run deep and Putah Creek will be that place for everyone to come and enjoy comfort food!

    Best waffle ever, apple wood bacon
    Tara B.

    I had an amazing breakfast, everything was soooo good! We sat outside, enjoyed the fresh air ! My food was so good ! Drinks were great! I wish it was closer to my house, I'd be there all the time ! My waffle was topped with Fresh strawberries and house whipped cream and it was to die for I also got a side of bacon that looked freshly butchered! My Bloody Mary could have used a splash of Worcestershire, but other than that, everything was delicious. Staff was very friendly and considering how busy they get the food came out hot and fast !!

    A friend and I took our girls out for breakfast here last week and it was excellent! The kids both got bacon and eggs, and a cup of fruit. I had the chicken-fried steak breakfast, and I can't remember what my friend ordered, but he loved it! After breakfast the girls played at the park across the street for a little bit before we headed back home. Putah Creek Cafe is an excellent spot to visit if you ever find yourself in Winters!!

    eggs benny with fries + waffle
    Cami G.

    baby got a benny and her friend is turning twennyyyyyyyy.... seven....!!!!! Visited Putah Creek Cafe for the first time to celebrate a very good friend's birthday. Our waiter was super kind!! very attentive and patient as the rest of our party showed. He even chatted me up about my new Star Wars tattoo. friendly waiters make the best experiences! split the mimosa flight with the table, the pineapple juice combo was deffff my favorite. i ordered the eggs benedict with french fries because it had turned into a late brunch by the time everyone arrived LOL will definitely come back! had such decision paralysis looking at the menu ack!!!!! need to try it alllllll. #benedict #notcumberbatch #lovehimtho #brunch #thecouncilreunion

    California Omelette
    Amber R.

    I came for brunch & I left with a full stomach! Definitely come before 12pm to beat the lunch rush. The bacon was the best part of the meal & the pancakes are HUGE! The Griddle Breakfast came with 2 pancakes, eggs & 3 slices of bacon - I ate everything but one of the pancakes because I was so full. The California Omelette was full of bacon & everything just tasted fresh. I cannot wait to come back & try something else!

    Michelle P.

    Amazing dinner! Came for my birthday and enjoyed attentive service a yummy blood orange Paloma. We sat on a big booth that was cozy. The food is delicious, I come here often but wanted to try some new things tonight. Enjoyed the beet salad and gnocchi. See pics below! Great place to dine as a family of five wanting casual but delicious

    Griddle breakfast and California scramble.
    Julia F.

    Went to the cafe this morning for brunch. I had the griddle breakfast and my mom had the California scramble. Food came out so fast and everything was great. Food was hot and delicious. Ambiance of the cafe is very cozy. A lot of natural lighting and cute decor. Our server wasn't very attentive but the food and overall vibe of the restaurant made up for it.

    Chicken and Waffles
    Paul W.

    Once again, Putah Creek Cafe delivered the goods! We came in on a Saturday afternoon and it was a little busy due to the Salmon Festival that was occurring across the street. It was a 20-25 minute wait, but we didn't mind. We got to our seats and started off with the Bacon Bloody Mary, which is starting to become a favorite of mine. The fried chicken sandwich was amazing! Crispy on the outside with nice herbs and juicy on the inside. The bread was fresh and the spicy sauce it came with was awesome! She got the biscuits and gravy and enjoyed it, but couldn't finish the potatoes cause she was full. This is one of my favorite spots to have breakfast, but today decided to try their lunch menu. A true Winters gem!

    From the onset, just looking at people waiting to get in, to the happy faces inside, it gave me warm and fuzzies..ok ok more like warm and buzzies" Lol Our waitress was very welcoming and engaging. I was having a hard to deciding what I was going to order. After finally deciding to go with the Greek Chicken Salad, right? Well not so quick!! I have had plenty of greek salads in my day and the was not one that I would yell out " OPA".. sadly nope :-( Everything else at our table looked and was wonderful. The actual presentation on the Greek Salad was great as posted. What I did not care for was the chicken, it just tasted wrong or processed, and the salad dressing was not great so I left a good portion of the salad :-( I did not want to complain, but that will not be something I will order again. Outside of that, great place, well worth the visit.

    Putah Creek Cafe is a quaint and charming cafe. Spacious and welcoming. Mostly inside dining, though there seemed to be some outside seating but I am unsure because it was packed away. Friendly and welcoming staff. The desserts caught our eye. My wife is a scone person so she got a strawberry cream scone (3/5). We like our scones a bit moist but this had a good flavor. We'll be back to try their food. Check out their cakes, dream bars, cookies, etc. Congrats on your 30 years of serving the community of Winters, CA!

It was not surprisingly packed for a Saturday night and I think one or two other families were celebrating birthdays. We started off with Tri Tip Tot-chos and they were deliciously addicting. So much we ended up eating half our dinner and taking the rest home. The tri tip had great flavor to go along with the crispy tots. The boneless ribeyes were so great! Nicely seared on both sides amd seasoned perfect. Tender to the cut and bite. Buckhorn is a restaurant I know I can come to and get great quality steak in a consistent basis. Hope to be back there sooner than later... and I'll definitely order those Tot-chos again.

The wagyu had a richness that's hard to find, and the ribeye held its own right alongside it. The sourdough bread as a side was simple but really good -- don't skip it. We also had a chance to try a couple different wines before committing, which our server made easy and relaxed. The staff was friendly and patient the whole night. We took our time figuring out what to order and nobody made us feel rushed -- they came back to the table multiple times without any pressure. We were there to celebrate an accomplishment and the atmosphere fit the occasion well. On a previous visit the German potato soup was one of the best I've had, and it's still something I think about. Already planning to come back.

The atmosphere is really the standout feature here. The mansion itself is stunning, elegant without feeling stuffy, with ornate architecture, sweeping staircases, fireplaces, formal dining rooms, outdoor seating areas, and beautifully maintained grounds. It feels somewhere between a historic estate and a wedding venue, which makes brunch feel more like an event than just a meal. There were several seating areas throughout the mansion, and part of the fun was simply walking around and taking in the property. The brunch buffet was genuinely elevated compared to a typical hotel-style brunch. There was a wide variety of offerings and everything we tried was very good. The spread included prime rib, eggs Benedict, roasted vegetables, salads, French toast, assorted side dishes, rolls, scones, and an impressive dessert table with mousses, pastries, chocolate-covered strawberries, and other desserts that looked almost too polished to eat. The buffet struck a nice balance between breakfast and lunch options without feeling repetitive. Service was also strong. Since it's buffet-style, the staff isn't taking entrée orders, but the waitstaff did a very good job keeping drinks filled, bringing silverware, answering questions, and making guests feel comfortable. Mimosas, orange juice, and water were included with the flat brunch price, which helped the experience feel more complete and relaxed rather than transactional. The main reason this stops short of a full 5 stars is that the experience feels slightly more "special occasion venue" than fine dining destination, if that distinction makes sense. But for a Sunday brunch outing, especially with family, celebrations, or out-of-town guests, it's absolutely worth experiencing at least once. A very memorable brunch in a truly unique setting.
