We stopped by on a Saturday evening for dinner. The restaurant was pretty busy but finding seating…read morewasn't an issue! Our waitress was very nice and helpful. I opted for a chicken sandwich with as side of buffalo fries and my sister opted for a burger with a side of fries. They had a DJ and sports games on the TV so it was a little loud inside, but nothing too bad. The food came out relatively quickly and we were excited to dig in! The sandwich was very flavorful and definitely my favorite part of the meal. The chicken was juicy and the veggies tasted fresh. The buffalo fries were also good. However, the buffalo sauce was a little too overpowering and next time I will ask for it on the side. I ended up requesting an extra side of ranch to help with the taste. My sister enjoyed her burger. Overall, we had a pretty good experience and would come back.

Decided this was the place for dinner after a long work day with a colleague…read more It's an older building with unique art on the exterior. There's also an outside patio. The place reminds me of bars that I would have frequented in my twenties and felt strangely familiar. The bar keep/waiter was super friendly and laid back. Our party of two proceeded to order burgers, mine with regular fries and my dining companion the garlic fries. I made a few substitutions which were quickly accommodated with a smile. The burgers were soooo good! Cooked perfectly to order and the garlic fries are a must. So perfectly garlicky without any bitterness and delightfully delicious. The fries are perfectly between thin and steak, striking a balance that fits just about any preference.

Went to Butcher and Barrel to celebrate our 25th Anniversary. The interior was spacious and nice…read more After confirming our reservation, we were led to our table. It was a nice surprise to see a hand written "Congratulations and Happy Anniversary" card. A complimentary treat of Focaccia bread with avocado and kimchi was given as well as a glass of champagne for the both of us. Our waiter was helpful, offering his opinion on what wine to take. We went for whatever he suggested for white (for her) and red (for me). Both were good picks. Our dinner started with toasted focaccia bread. She ordered a Caesar salad also. The appetizer was 3 large slices of bread with stracciatella and pear compote. The bread was light and buttery. The stracciatella was good blending well with the bread. The Caesar salad was a big serving. Tasty and simple, nothing special. Our main entree was filet mignon for my wife and wagyu rib eye for me, both medium rare. The filet was topped with garlic confit and I added chimichurri to my ribeye. The plating was simple, the protein with the side and roasted garlic. We also added smashed potatoes to share. Our first bite was the meat itself with no dressing. I can taste why the steak was priced that way. It just melted in my mouth and left a nice smooth aftertaste. We exchanged bites, she felt the same way and I agreed that her filet was perfect. After adding the roasted garlic and chimichurri, the slices were heavenly. The surprise for me was the smashed potatoes. First time trying this dish and I was impressed. The crispness of the skin was a nice surprise. The butter and garlic added another layer of flavor. We topped our dinner with a toffee bread pudding with vanilla ice cream and caramel. I'm not a dessert person but this, this was good! Overall it was a great dinner. The food was excellent. The staff was amazing. Of course, my date was beautiful. Thank you Butcher and Barrel for an awesome dinner experience!

I got the steak frites and ordered my steak rare. It came out cooked perfectly and the steak itself was SO flavorful and seasoned really well! The sauce underneath was a little on the salty side for me, but paired with the steak and fries everything still came together really nicely. My friends also ordered the half chicken entrée and they both really enjoyed theirs! The absolute STAR though was the pavé fries!!! They were AMAZING. Literally my friends and I inhaled them Crispy, delicious, and easily one of our favorite things we ordered. Definitely a must! The warm bread was probably the only miss for us. The bread itself was okay, but the butter had a pretty strong, pungent flavor and scent that none of us really enjoyed. Service was friendly and the space has such a cute, comfortable atmosphere that was perfect for dinner and catching up with friends. Overall we had a really great experience and I'd absolutely come back, especially for those pavé fries!!!

They have a decent menu and I love how many dishes they have for brunch. Service has always been great, I've never had a bad experience. There's a huge outdoor seating and it's great for big groups. Good usually comes out promptly so I've never had to wait too long even when it's busy. Pros: the portions are huge, I can easily share with another person and still have leftovers. I love their pancakes and French toast. Their lunch and dinner options are great too. Cons: parking can be hard to find (street parking). There's also parking garages near by.

We came for brunch to celebrate a birthday, and I was trying to decide between the spinach omelette…read moreor the chicken fried steak. The server said the chicken fried steak was really good, so that was my choice. I thought that I would also enjoy the pork sausage gravy served on top of it since I love biscuit and gravy. I was quite disappointed in my choice because the steak as very tough, and dry, like it was not made in-house but probably frozen, and deep fried in house. The generous serving of gravy on top was lacking any flavor and was on the pasty side, so it didn't help the steak in any way. My toast was cold, which was not too much an issue, but the hardness of the toast was like day old left over toast. I told the server the steak was pretty tough but he chose to ignore my comment twice. I did like the potatoes, which were nice and crispy, but if anything, would've like a fresher piece of toast. One of our guest gave me her butter and that did not spread well on the hard toast. I took the steak home, and heated it a little because I was still hungry, but after one bite, I just tossed it. Just wasn't good. The guest next to me did order the omelette, and her omelette did look very good. I was just unhappy with my meal, for the price, which would've been worth it, if it were good.

Yard House is one of my go to options when it comes to dining out late night. I almost always get…read moresat right away & there's a great selection of food & drinks. Most recently, I came & wanted to get something new, while keeping it light. Our server gave some recs, so I decided on the chicken lettuce wraps & spicy edamame to start. My partner ordered the cilantro lime chicken. When our food arrived, I was surprised by how generous the portion was for the wraps. They were so flavorful & filling, I'm shocked it took me so long to try them out. I will say that the service can be a hit or miss whenever I come here, so I always keep that in mind. However, I still recommend coming to try this place out for a late night snack or even to take advantage of their happy hour!

8/2026 So while waiting for our table, we ordered some…read moreappetizers and drinks at the bar during happy hour. Our table got ready before the food came out, so we ended up moving to the table. There was some miscommunication between bar and table service, and our server was very confused. I think she thought we weren't going to order any more food and drinks, so she became pretty annoyed. But props to her, she did try to stay nice, but there was an obvious difference between when she first greeted us and after she found out we had ordered some food at the bar. And then she disappeared for a while and we saw her in some heated discussion with the bar staff. Overall, we were uncomfortable with the whole situation and kept wondering whether we did something wrong. In the end, our server did eventually come back when we were almost done with the appetizers we had ordered at the bar. We ordered some more food and drinks, and tried to keep things light and make her feel better. But looking back at the situation, I feel a little cheated out on the experience, since we were made to feel pretty uncomfortable as though we did something wrong, and like we had to appease our server. If ordering food at the bar and moving to the restaurant afterwards is not appropriate, I wish it had been conveyed to us at the outset. We could have sat at the bar area, no problem. I had specifically asked about this to the hostess before going up and ordering, and the people there were all saying it was totally fine. Since our server took our order late, we ended up taking that food to go and just finished our apps and drinks. We didn't really let the experience ruin our night and we had a good time. But I'm just thinking back on the night as I'm writing the review and cringing. Pepperoni Pizza This was really, really good. I'd totally get this again. I really wan't expecting for pizza to be so good here. Definitely a keeper. Boneless Buffalo Wings I had much higher expectations for this one... Unfortunately it was sub-par. It was very buffalo sauce heavy. This is the type of wings that I would request sauce on the side. I'm not sure that I would order this again, but if I did, I'd definitely ask for the sauce on the side. Whiskey Burger Just as good as I remembered. Very nice burger with bursting floavors. Keeper! House Belgian White - ok Morgan Terr Moon - good Alvarado Street Mai Tai - awesome. Actually, I think I might have confused this one with the Morgan Terr Moon - one was better than the other, but I can't really remember which way it went. Overall, would I go back? Yes, I love the vibes here and the food. And really enjoyed the service other times we've been. Hostess and bartenders were great and amazing. Even our server this night was nice enough. Just uncomfortable a tad. But miscommunication happens, and we can all get annoyed at times. Just take one more beer and don't let things like that ruin the night! ************************* previous: 8/2025 Love the vibes inside, familiar yet new. Clean and comfortable, just what we were hoping to get after a long day. Kale salad w chicken The salad was ok, and I ate everything. With that said, it was salty. There was too much dressing on the salad, and too much seasoning on the chicken. And the chicken was more dry than I care for. But presentation was beautiful and the veggies were fresh. Maybe ask for dressing on the side? Whiskey burger Great flavors. This was a thick piece of burger. And the fries that came with were great. Hubby enjoyed it and saved half for lunch the next day. He could have eaten the whole thing, and it took some self control, but he said it was satisfied with the half portion. 3 tacos The Korean Chicken taco was apparently hard to share - because it was too good lol. Friends were sharing and didn't really want to. Not sure about the other two flavors cuz i was too busy eating my own food, but the tacos looked pretty good. Ommegang rainbow IPA Legit IPA! Awesome!

The meatball was HUGE, and the app comes w two. Def a good sharing option for 4 people if actually eating it as an app. The octopus was also delicious. Perfectly crispy and comes w the best potatoes. The only thing was the chimichurri type sauce was pretty spicy (not mild). So definitely beware. I also tried a bite of my husband's bolognese and it was light and refreshing. The flavor of the vegetables come through nicely along with the meat sauce. It feels ironic to say, but if you want something lighter, that's a good option. Would recommend making a reservation, as the restaurant space is small and definitely filled up on a Sunday evening.

Just as Amazing as I Remembered -- Great Food and Experience!…read more This was our second visit to The Firehouse Restaurant, with our first being about two years ago. We absolutely loved it back then, and I'm happy to say our second experience was just as wonderful! We brought the kids along, and I was pleasantly surprised by the children's menu. I tried convincing them to order the steak with mashed potatoes and baby carrots, but of course, they wanted the chicken strips and fries instead! My wife ordered the scallops, and I went with the filet mignon again. Absolutely delicious! The steak was cooked to perfection, just as I remembered from our first visit. And of course, we couldn't leave without ordering the soufflé! Everyone got their own to enjoy, and it was every bit as good as I remembered from two years ago. Definitely one of the highlights of the meal. Remember to order this way in advance. Beyond the food, the service was excellent, the decor was beautiful, and the overall dining experience was fantastic. The restaurant has an elegant, historic atmosphere that makes dinner feel like a special occasion. One tip for families with younger children: We made reservations for 5 PM on a Saturday, right when the restaurant opened, and the timing was perfect. By around 7 PM, Old Sacramento was getting pretty crazy with the night crowds. An early dinner allowed us to enjoy the restaurant and the area before things got too busy. Overall, another wonderful experience at The Firehouse. Two visits, two excellent meals, and a soufflé I'll probably still be thinking about two years from now! We'll definitely be back.
