Great little hole in the wall tavern in old town Folsom. This place always finds great beers and has fantastic food! When you enter, just proceed to the back near the register. The menus will be near you - just make your food selection of food off the menu and select your beverage off the wall on your right! The Steakhouse Dip is my go too - along with an IPA which I usually ask the great staff to select. I tried the Urban Roots Juice Rush and I think is the best IPA I have ever had - give it a try. Great place to stop in and enjoy the food and beer. It can get busy in the evenings with limited seating - they do have some seating outside to help! read more

This one hurts to write because this has always been one of my favorite little old bars. I've been coming here for years and the Johnny Burger was always my go-to. Unfortunately, this last visit was a total bust. The burger was not the same flavor or quality it used to be. Not sure if there's a new cook or what changed, but it was disappointing for the first time ever. That said, I still love this place and the atmosphere -- it has such an old-school local charm. I honestly miss the old staff and the consistency it used to have. Hoping this was just an off night because I'd really love to see it get back to what made it so great. read more

Samuel Horne's Tavern - Johnny Cash burger - American Near Me - Folsom, California

Sam Horne's is the epitome of comfort dining. Dim lights and big vinyl benches? Check. Knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful staff? Check. VERY solid pub fare that sticks to your bones and warms your body and cold, wintry heart? Check, check, check. I've only been 3-4 times, and honestly that needs to change. This spot is so consistent and the burgers are outstanding every single time. I was surprised at how quickly the food came out of the kitchen, and the prices are well-aligned with what you get. It's a cool-looking spot on this funny little touristy street, but unlike many kitschy old town eateries (and there are SO many, from Old Town Sac to Placerville and beyond) Sam Horne's absolutely crushes it. read more

Phenomenal burgers. Perfecty cooked to medium rare loke i asked. Good selection of beers. Staff is great

I've been coming to Samuel Horner's Tavern for over a year, and the service and food quality hasn't change. I either order the Johnny Cash Burger with tator tos or the loco moco. You can't go wrong with either. The burger patty is good quality and they have the best tator tots! The drinks are also amazing! The bartenders know how to make all the classics old fashions, margaritas, and the gimlit. Which is one of my favorite drinks here. They're also known for their beers as well having a lot of local breweries on tap. Overall from the service to food, to drinks. I give this place 5 stars, and would say this is a true local gem! read more

Great beer selection and bar. Pretty good food. Small seating area inside and out Park in Old town garage or nearby.

Great pub bar/restaurant in downtown Folsom that has Trivia I think on Tuesday nights! Came here on a Saturday to celebrate a friends birthday in their outside patio and it's great for all ages and families. They have Pliny the Elder! And some really good eats, I got the special corn beef sandwich with their tots as a Side that are popular. They have tons of brews on top and good options to choose from burgers, salads, and sandwiches. There's street parking and some parking lots and a garage nearby. Service is great and quick! They're very Knowledgeable and they deliver your food and you can order take out. read more

Sam Hornes is one of my favorite places to stop into on Sutter St. Dark moody tavern lighting (my favorite!) with cozy speakeasy vibes. I normally just order drinks - they have a great selection of beer and cocktails. I recently tried the hangover tots to share with the table and they were excellent. Great portion and perfect for 2-4 people to share as an appetizer. No skimping on the topping ingredients either! Lots of gravy, cheese, and sausage. Yes please! I also noted that there were a good selection of tasty sounding NA cocktails as well. read more

Samuel Horne's Tavern is really cool burger joint right on the main drag in old town Folsom. The atmosphere is awesome, the burgers are tasty and interesting, and there is enough variety and depth to the beer list to make anyone happy. I guess "atmosphere is awesome" is vague. The decor gives an old west vibe without cliche saddles and horns. The seating is perfect for visiting or dining alone, as I was. There was a group of girls hanging out, probably underage and definitely not drinking, and they were made welcome as if they were high spending regulars. I think that speaks to the hospitality of the management. Definitely recommend. read more

They have no free ones they tell you that I can give you a hand patty with no bread. This is not a gluten-free spot skip it to the good spot, but lazy owners. read more

Great burger. Good tots. Good location. Order at the counter and they bring it to the table. There's a few outside tables.

Really good experience at Samuel Horne's in Folsom. Great atmosphere, good service, and I was happy to see they carry South Fork Vodka too. Nice to see a local favorite on the menu. Meg behind the bar was awesome, friendly, attentive, and just made everything easy and enjoyable. Definitely coming back. read more

The food here is always delicious and the tap list is always great. Prices are pretty reasonable for what you get. PB Burger is fantastic.

Great service and selection of beers on tap. Staff is always the right amount of friendly

The bar was old fashioned with a great variety of liquor. The interior of restaurant/bar was a bit dark so we opted to sit outdoors which was quite nice. I was pleased to see a couple vegetarian options on the menu and ordered the veggie burger. The patty was made with brown rice which I thought was good. The tots were the star of the show - perfectly crisp with a soft inside. My friends thought their beef dip sandwich was just ok. Our sodas were flat- however once we mention that they brought us new sodas, and they were a little bit better The service was good. read more

I've been living in Folsom for about 3.5 years and I will openly admit this is my favorite place to get a burger. And their tater tots are delicious. Their fries could use salt but I never really order them. My sister got the nutcase burger with substituted onion straws and they were a great add. Sometimes this spot is super stuffy and it can be uncomfortable when sitting inside. There's limited seating so be prepared to share the skinny table top in the middle. read more

Samuel Horne's Tavern - Nutcase burger with added onion straws - American Near Me - Folsom, California

Great spot for a casual night out. Briefly stopped by Samuel Horne's Tavern on a Thursday night to grab a drink. The tavern is small, with a cozy vibe, but it was not too crowded. We got the Two Rivers cider and the Russian River Pilsner. All of us liked our drinks and they were reasonably priced. The cashier was friendly. This is a no frills tavern, you get what you came for. I would come back to try one of vegetarian burgers or the grilled cheese as those sounded good! read more

Food was good, beer selection was good, service was friendly, pub atmosphere was fun.

I am basing this on overall experience. This exudes the very definition of a hole-in-the-wall type establishment: not cramped, but "cozy." Behind the cashier is a beautiful wall of alcohol, but I focused on the innumerable amount of bourbons to choose from, that it took me a moment to choose. The gentleman who helped me was very sociable, not obnoxiously so, but genuinely, and he would drop a quick conversation when he dropped off food at other tables (to each table), and the woman (yes, in our brief lunch, we did not learn the staff names) was also quite friendly. I am going through some deep stuff, so I had a bourbon on the rocks (double) with lunch. Sue me, whatever....it hit the spot. I got the burger that has pepper jack cheese, bacon, and peanut butter on it. Messy as heck, but worth it. The patty itself tasted well made, was not dry, and too many burger places do NOT have peanut butter on their burger as an option, unfortunately. The fries were kind of non-descript, but they have ways to upgrade them. Quite satisfied with my meal (though I didn't eat but half of it.....when one is going through "stuff" (polite word), one's appetite comes and goes. I would say on its own, food is about three satisfying stars. With drinks, ambiance, and customer service, the overall experience was a solid four. I don't go to Folsom too often, and probably might not suggest this per se, but if someone wanted to go, I know I would have a good meal (and experience) read more

I love this place so much the foods amazing the service is even better can't wait to go again!

Based on reviews, I had added Samuel Hornes Tavern on my "to do" list. When we walked in, it's a bit dark, reflective of the tavern vibe. It was nice and cool inside and almost all tables were taken. We sat and waited not too long for a booth table to come open. This is a "sit yourself" establishment. The menu had several yummy described options. I had the steakhouse dip which is similar take to a french-dip. This was shaved sirloin topped with blue cheese crumbles , onion rings and a garlic aioli sauce served on a hoagie. It was tender and flavorful! This would have been something my husband would have devoured! I chose the "tots" as a side and they were also cooked perfectly! They weren't soft they were crispy outside and hot center... Not greasy... I'm a "salt" lover and these were perfectly seasoned to where I didn't need to add additional seasoning. My friend got the Tavern Chicken sandwich. She loved her choice as well... cooked perfectly! We sat and chatted awhile, enjoyed catching up while enjoying good company and good food. Will definitely be back! Referring my boys and friends to give it a try! read more

Came in at 18:00 on a Sunday and this place had plenty of open seating. Victoria, the cashier was super nice and answered all our questions. The food came out fast and was really tasty! The sliders and tater tots were super tasty. read more

How many service errors can be made within a span of only a few minutes? We found out. Went in last weekend. The bartender/server was VERY preoccupied with people whom she knew. Not once but TWICE during the few seconds it was taking me to place a beer order she interrupted me while speaking to yell loudly at a friend of hers coming through the door. I ordered a beer and a cocktail for me and my wife. I was given the wrong beer. I then wanted to ask a question of a different serve who was at a table next to mine. I sorta flagged her down, yet she continued talking to the gentleman next to me for 10 MINUTES and never came my way. We then went back up to the bar to order some food. After a while we noticed several who had ordered after us had received their food. My wife went up to check, and she never placed our order!!!!!!!!!!!! I went back up to pay my tab, then she begrudgingly without any sort of apology or even an indication that they might not have been on their game with us, informed us that our beer and cocktail had been comp'd. Meanwhile she remained completely pre-occupied chatting with friends that had come in. We couldn't imagine and have neve felt so unwanted as customers anywhere that we had ever been. read more

Everything here is great! Wife's favorite is the steak and peppers sandwich. Be sure to get tater tots on the side.

Gauged me for wine. Charged $30.00 for two glasses of pino wine. They'll never see me again.

Still one of the best spots in downtown Folsom. The hours are a bit limited but the food and drink selection are so good! The steakhouse dip is one of my absolute favorite sandwiches and every burger I have ordered has been cooked to perfection! I love the fact that you can do either fries or tots and load them up with the different toppings. The ranch is also tasty! (Not all ranch is the same!!) this will always be a staple of ours when you get that burger craving. read more

This is a great little Tavern in Historical Folsom on Sutter Street. They are known for the Johnny Cash burger and tater tot's. The burger was cooked perfectly a little pink in the middle with an excellent BBQ sauce and great seasonings....yes the Tater tot's were very delicious too. The Johnny Cash burger had two strips of bacon piled on top, cheddar cheese, onion straws with a delicious barbecue sauce. The salad was was also very good with Spinach, candied pecans, cranberries and blue cheese with a sweet and sour dressing. The prices are very reasonable, service was outstanding and parking is on street or in parking garage. When you come down to historical Folsom you need to stop in and have a drink and order the good old Johnny Cash burger with tots. read more

Our first time here... we will be back!! So many items on the menu we want to try! Today, my hubby had the sliders with tater tots (best tots we've had in a while), my daughter and I shared a burger and fries , soup and a hot pretzel. (I wanted to order my own burger or sandwich, but my daughter wanted to try the soup and pretzel, so we knew it would've been too much food, so I split with her.) My daughter loooved the pretzel!! Love the ambiance and hand lettered signs too. read more

Great food, service and wonderful ambiance! My family loves this place. Such a cute hole in the wall.

Terrific pub food in charming historic Folsom. Stopped on our way from Tahoe to Bay Area. Burgers were delish and the tots were exceptional. Inside so cute but we sat outside at bistro tables while enjoying a beautiful July day. Hubbie is selective about his beers preferring pilsners and lagers. Several to pick from along with IPAs, etc. We'll return! read more

Not a favorite. Did a pub crawl in old folsom & this has got to be my least favorite bar there. It was so hot & dark in there. The workers werent super friendly. The cajun Parmesan fries were seasoned ok but the Parmesan fakes were rubbery & not good. The ranch was prepackaged ranch that was gross. Drinks were strong but hard to get down. read more

First time visit. Quiet place for a late lunch. You order at the bar and they will bring your meal to the table. We were able to get our drinks quickly, and our meals arrived not soon afterwards. Apparently they have a couple of blue plate specials daily. I picked number two which that day was a special hotdog loaded up including french fries. It was tasty, and quite a meal. We also had a Turkey burger ($2 extra charge :( ) and a Mediterranean salad. The burger was fine the salad was fresh. Will remember this place and come again, read more

First time was the charm for sure. Great little place in Old Historic Folsom. Ordered lunch to eat outside (indoor is still not open due to covid numbers). Warm Pretzel with dips to start my meal is comprised of three good size pretzels. Dips were veggie and another of spiced mustard. Lightly salted. Warm. Nice. Main meal was Grilled Cheese. They were nice to add a special request of bacon and tomato. YUMMY! The shoestring fries were fresh and welcome. The man that helped me with my food choices was patient and welcoming. Outdoor seating is nice with this being more of a relaxed area instead of a main traffic road. There is a steady amount of people to keep the area interesting but never overcrowded. read more
