Reuben sandwich
Loren P.

Nothing beats a cute cafe on the main street of a small town, and Sina's Backroads Cafe is the perfect stop for a quick bite in Sutter Creek. You order up front before taking a seat and there is a good selection of sandwiches for lunch as well as coffee and freshly-baked goods. We missed the window for breakfast but they also serve made-to-order breakfast dishes. My husband and I just wanted a smaller meal for lunch that day, so we settled on the 1/2 sandwich and soup combo. While the portion sizes are on the smaller side, they were balanced and filling for what we wanted (as well as very reasonably priced), and we ended our meal with an in-house baked oatmeal raisin cookie. The cookie was huge and packed with oats but still delicious, with the proper texture and not overly sweet. Our sandwiches were simple yet delicious, with fresh ingredients and bread. The clam chowder was the soup of the day and so so good, I love when clam chowder has potatoes with the skin still attached. Our food also arrived pretty quickly, I would say within 10 minutes of ordering. Water is self-serve. We did not get a chance to try their coffee or the quiche that they're known for, but we will return to Sina's for sure and definitely recommend this cute little cafe for anyone looking for a quick, cozy meal in Sutter Creek!

Seating

We went to Sutter Creek for a few days and found this cute little cafe on Main Street. It was a super quick walk from our hotel. The cafe is quaint and has a lot of seating. It is family owned which is something I always try and support when traveling. You order at the counter before sitting down. You could always just order to go. We stayed and ate at the restaurant at a table with a view of Main Street. We ordered the Motherlode breakfast dish and the French toast. The Motherlode is a Homemade Biscuit, Country Potatoes, Gravy, Sunnyside Egg & Bacon Bits. It had a great smoky flavor and I always enjoy a homemade style biscuit. The French toast was served with a side of potatoes. It was cooked perfectly and had a great flavor. My only regret is that we didn't grab a few cookies for the road home that looked so good. We will definitely be back when we visit again.

Amador Dirty Blonde

We went up to Sutter Creek today for a family outing. I checked the Yelp reviews yesterday and came up with 6 lunch options. We had 6 Adults and a pair of grandkids and I guessed some restaurants weren't going to have a big table for all of us. This place looked fine though. Corina and I split a Pastrami Reuben on sourdough. They served us on two plates and each of us got one of their yummy dill spears. The 1/2 sandwich was the perfect size for each of us and they were great tasting. I had a cup of delicious clam chowder on the side and an Amador Dirty Blonde ale that was pretty tasty. I need to find a source for that down here in Elk Grove. We will come back here again.

Oatmeal raisin cookie & half gold rush sandwich
Gillian A.

Came for the gnarly-huge cookies, stayed for the sandwiches. I figured that the oatmeal raisin cookie would have some crispiness to it, but not have crispiness be its whole personality trait lol. Rather tough and a bit on the one-note sweet side. Would be great to have the cookie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream as it would make a nice topping when crumbled haha. Gold rush sandwich was pretty decent. Not the most flavorful tri-tip but the sandwich bread was scrumptiously toasty. Nice cheese pull too. Pretty friendly staff and there is plentiful seating. 3 stars for the food collectively but bumped the rating up to a 4 for the service and ambiance. Overall a place to consider when searching for some grub at Sutter Creek.

Such an adorable coffee shop/cafe! We visited Sutter Creek for a wedding, and stopped in for some iced lattes to walk around town with. I wish we would have eaten breakfast here because both the food and prices looked great! My review is based solely on the latte (which was amazing) and the overall feel of the cafe. Can't wait to come back and eat here!

Lasagna soup

Lasagna soup was delicious. Never had this before. It was a delight, barbecue beef sandwich delicious and a lemonade. My friend had wine.

BBQ Beef
Tim S.

A wonderful stopping point on the way to or returning from the mountains. The BBQ sandwich was amazing with one of the best pickles I have had in a long time. My wife had the house special, which was equally good if you miss the post-Thanksgiving sandwich. And the potato salad is excellent. It has a wonderful small town atmosphere with a great staff.

Sign
Mary W.

Lots of sandwiches to choose from. My turkey sandwich was pretty standard. The restaurant was clean and pleasant. The counter girl complained loudly about previous customers leaving a mess.

Orange Juice!

Fig Barn is such a cute little spot to stop at in the small town of Plymouth. Located right by the…read moreroundabout on Hwy 49, there is always plenty of parking in the gravel lot, and a good amount of seating inside and outside. The last time we went we got brunch and sat outside enjoying the summer breeze. They have a pretty good selection of brunch items and at good prices, from avocado toasts to sandwiches and salads. I went with the breakfast bagel sando while my husband went with the panini-grilled breakfast burrito. As far as their drinks are concerned, they have seasonal menus and also serve the usual offerings of cold brew or lattes. I ended up choosing their seasonal blackberry matcha latte with oat milk while my husband went with the lemon cream cold brew. Both drinks were made pretty quickly by the friendly lady staffing the cafe. Was the matcha the best I had? Of course not, as I've had plenty of top tier matcha from south Sac and the bay, but it was smooth and the blackberry flavor was prominent. After waiting for several more minutes, our food was ready, and we eagerly dug in. I loved that our plates were served with freshly seasonal fruit, and that neither my bagel nor my husband's burrito was oily. Both of our selections were solid choices, and we would get them again. I would've liked if I could have chosen my bagel type (perhaps they don't go through enough bagels to warrant giving people choices), but the plain one that came with the dish was still good. Fig Barn Coffee is a convenient place to stop by if you need your coffee fix to or from Sac. We usually just go to Sac for our drink fix, but this one still hits the spot in general, especially with its brunch options.

Where to start? Everything from the cappuccino and food bites are a great choice here. Staff is…read morewarm and friendly, and I recommend sitting outside to do a little people watching. Closed on Sundays and Mondays.

I've gotten a bakery snack at the counter before and everything was fine there. But this latest visit I found myself starving and decided to have a quick sit down lunch inside the cafe. As expected the staff were incredibly welcoming. The dining room was very clean. My order was taken quickly and food arrived with very little wait. Three stars there. The food, though... Oof. I had a California Grilled Cheese. Bacon, avocado, cheese, tomato on sourdough and a side of fries. The sandwich didn't taste great, something seemed off about the cheese. The fries were ok, a little dry. I only ate about a quarter of the sandwich. It was no surprise that I had an upset stomach a short time later. The other thing I didn't like about the cafe was how dark and depressing it was. While I appreciate the cleanliness, the decor made me feel kind of sad. The menu overall offers a variety of breakfast items, lots of hamburgers, and a variety of other dishes. Nothing exciting and about what you would expect. Jackson Rancheria puts so much pride into everything else and it's a little sad to see the food quality be neglected.

The place was pretty busy too, but we were seated right away. We ordered the Pub Wings, Poached Prawns, Goat Balls and the Kids Elissa's Pasta and Marinara. I enjoyed everything we ordered! The Poached Prawns were cooked perfectly and seasoned well, the Pub Wings were big and juicy and the Goat Balls were a nice addition and paired well the sourdough bread. Kudos to the guy who said adding honey to the Goat Balls would make them even better - he was right! My daughter wasn't the biggest fan of the Elissa's Pasta and Marinara - I tried it and thought it was good and the sauce tasted homemade. Staff were friendly and food came out quickly!
