My hubby and I came here for breakfast. They have street parking in front of the shop. We ordered a decaf Mocha, latte, farmhouse scramble, and lemon cupcake. The cashier was very friendly. I like how smooth the mocha is! I highly recommend their coffee! And with its pretty art. The cupcake was flavorful and not overly sweet because of the buttercream. Perfect match drinking with coffee. The farmhouse scramble might sound simple, but they're delicious with some potatoes, bacon, tomatoes, eggs, and cheese. They served it hot. This is a little cute shop around in the Dixon downtown. They have some tables you can sit down.

I discovered The Barn and Pantry on Yelp, but didn't try it until we heard many great reviews from some of our good friends. So, on one of our dates, my husband and I decided to have breakfast here before spending more quality time with one another. Upon entry into the building I was a bit confused on whether or not we had to order at the cash register or have a seat at one of the unoccupied tables. Luckily one of the staff saw my confused face after greeting us and directed us to any table we desired to sit at. Side note: there are a handful of tables to dine at inside, however they do offer outdoor dining as well. Ordering was quite easy. Their menus are digital, so pull out your phone and scan the QR code at the table to pull up the menu on their website (or simply go to their website if you know the address). Apparently you can also place your order directly on their website, but my husband and I opted for more human interaction. Customer service was great! Despite being a busy morning, the staff were friendly, helpful, and attentive to our needs. We only had to flag someone down for utensils and for the bill. Our food orders came out to us quite quickly. I ordered the country fried steak meal while my husband ordered the eggs benedict with bacon. Everything was delicious and seasoned to perfection! We both cleaned our plates! The drinks were equally as good! My husband ordered orange juice, which was freshly squeezed, but wasn't tart at all. I ordered hot lavendar earl gray tea, which was divine and paired well with my meal. Overall, The Barn & Pantry has lived up to the hype! I cannot wait to eat here again!

Chocolate chip cookie & Iced brown sugar oatmilk latte.

If you're seeking 5 star service and the best Latte in town, then this Dixon gem is it! They serve their drinks with Raw Milk, that's a treat in itself. I will definitely be back for breakfast. Oh and I had a chocolate chip cookie that accompanied my iced brown sugar oatmilk latte- one word ? Divine! We stumbled in for some water and were impressed by the friendliness of the ladies and decided to try something

The food here is so fresh! I had the grilled veggie burrito, and it was flavorful with great texture from the vegetables. I believe there was eggplant, carrot, and zucchini in it, that were cut in large slices...the wrap itself was also grilled and slightly flaky, which was delicious! Also I love the simple design of the plates haha! I also had the espresso with the raw cream...the raw cream was so flavorful...lots of depth to it! Might need a little sugar, but it was also wonderful. As another reviewer mentioned, lots of flies outdoors, so I recommend eating indoors if possible. They have a mini market inside which is really two refrigerators of fresh goods, of which they use in their dishes. They also have a shelf of merch! Service was very friendly! I believe the owner, and also our server, both checked up on my friend and me several times to make sure there wasn't something else that we needed, especially since we were eating outdoors. Would have never thought to come out to Dixon for this quaint restaurant!

crab cake, avocado, and cheese sandwich with house-made chips

My requirements for a lunch meeting was a restaurant with outdoor seating that was dog-friendly.  A friend from Fairfield was meeting me.  I hopped onto Yelp and used the handy attributes search function after clicking on the attributes desired.   The Barn and Pantry came up as one one of the listings.  After reading some reviews, I wanted to try it out.   The menu has so many good entries in it that it was difficult to decide.   I decided to get the crab cake avocado cheese sandwich with house-made thick potato chips and a draft beer from Campus Brewing.  My friend got the Grilled apple and brie cheese sandwich, also with chips.  The herbal iced tea was her beverage. The server was friendly, helpful, and attentive.  We sat out on the patio and my husky was even offered a bowl of water (This was very welcome on a warm afternoon.)   The food didn't take long at all to arrive.   The sandwiches looked beautiful!  (See my photos.) I thoroughly enjoyed mine.   Every bite.  So good! They served a generous portion of the house-made chips.   I couldn't finish them all.  They were excellent, but I was full!  My friend also enjoyed her sandwich  very much.   Both of us are adding the Barn and Pantry to our go-to list of places for food in the area.

Such a cute coffee shop! My family and I were driving from Sacramento to Napa and we decided to stop here for breakfast on the way. The food and drinks were great and the staff was super friendly. We are very glad we stopped here!

One of my most favorite brunch spots...Barn & Pantry is truly a gem! I highly recommended their Farmhouse Scramble, Eggs Benedict, and my husband's favorite, the Chicken Fried Steak. My kids love the pancakes and French toast here (they request we go to the place that has "real" maple syrup) and because I may regularly steal a bite or two, I can attest that they really are exceptional! I often can't pass up ordering their fermented bagel with their yummy seasonal jam and cream cheese on the side. Coffee/espresso drinks are top notch here and I so appreciate that they offer raw milk. To say everything I've had is delicious, is an understatement. The high quality of their food (organic and local foods, pastured meat) is something you won't find nearly anywhere. I love that they are also a store/market offering a selection of organic and local groceries and goods. I'll often take a look after brunch and pick up some items like raw milk, pasta, chicken, bacon, and juice and of course their take and bake pastries when they have them! Also love that we are always warmly welcomed and the staff who have helped us are very friendly and attentive. If you looking for a delicious farm to fork experience in a cute little neighborhood spot, Barn & Pantry is the perfect place!

Kayla! The Barista was star absolute best! So warm, kind & knowledgeable! She was like the book of Dixon I couldn't have asked for a better introduction! This visit came bitter sweet as I came on a ride to celebrate in memory of my late husband forever young gone to soon, only to find they have a wall that is dedicated to those who have lost some one. I plan to put my chalk memory on there. So where do I start CUTE CUTE CUTE! Yes they are open during covid season, outside seating! Inside seating! Clean! FRIENDLY! Omg so much KAYLA said she had sangria & other things also available! WHAT A TREAT! I will bring my friends & family return on a day like this, or to enjoy their FRIDAY night live music that starts @ 6p! She said they will start that back up after the holiday 7/4/20 weekend. KAYLA shared the owner hosts classes. Let's go ahead and add this to the FAVORITES! Can't wait to come back! LAVENDER LATTER AMAZING!

Instead of apologizing about a customers experience, they would rather delete the comment. I've only been here once and the one time I came in, the girl working the register was on the phone. I had to wait a while. then when I ordered my food, I had to wait outside in the rain for it. don't treat people like another transaction. I was going to go give it a second try but honestly, with the way they handled my feedback, not going back. The owner Lindsey Hickman deleted all of my comments and concerns. As a business owner, that's not how you handle customer concerns. Clearly, you don't know the basics of customer service. A little update: Lindsey Hickman, the business owner, blocked me and had two people go and post 5 star reviews on yelp to help keep up an image. if only she did the right thing and address concerns and not be petty. worst business owner I've ever encountered. I've worked in customer service for over 10yrs. Update: I added the blocked photo and the photo of my comment. the food was horrible. I ordered a lox and rye. I was speaking on the service part because that is what I first experienced. Instead of being combative and lying, please take responsibility.

Came here to work on a Wednesday afternoon and found it almost empty. Customer service was prompt and coffee was fine but I was disappointed by almost everything else. The only sugar alternative was monk fruit which was $1.00 extra. I knew they stopped serving breakfast but the only bakery items they had was some cupcakes and croissants that looked like they had been sitting out. The place has a nice ambience but they don't provide WiFi, so it's not a good environment to work. I can see why they're empty, was hoping for a better experience.

Raw bacon, under cooked hard hash browns, and tough meat
Nestor C.

Man! This place has really shifted down a negative slope. We went for breakfast on a Saturday, and must I say that the quality of food was horrific. I would assume that the overpriced menu would account for quality food, but I was terribly wrong. We spent roughly $90.00 for 2 adults a teenager and a baby. While the scramble was the only thing that didn't taste bland or nasty, the chicken fried steak was anything but appetizing. Service was rushed and mediocre. You could tell they were super overwhelmed by the morning rush. We sat ourselves outside, and placed our order inside. Food came out blazing fast, which I thought was odd for how busy they were. The steak was so tough, I near broke the plate trying to cut it. The hash browns were slightly cooked at the surface but rock hard and cold underneath. When I told the server,she simply said sorry. Ill bring another. Never did. The food seemed as if it was made half assed with no attention to the quality they portray. I took my food to the counter and asked for my money back. The cashier didn't say a word. Made it seem as if it wasn't a big deal. It saddens me that this was a place once strived for quality food and service and now it's fallen off the cliff. Plenty of other breakfast options around the area, don't waste your money!

Full order of eggs bendict.  20.75 for this.
Joy K.

Personally, I thought it was expensive and nor very flavorful. The eggs benedict needed seasoning (can't pinpoint what) and the goulash burrito was mostly potato with little seasoning. Also the salsa didn't come on the side (nor was it in the burrito) so maybe that's where the flavor would've been? I did also make the mistake of using DoorDash to order, which increased the price of one breakfast meal by more than 9 dollars, however, their online menu still shows a hefty price of $17 for the eggs benedict, which is a la carte. $2 more to add hash browns. I am really disappointed, but I didn't contact them to see what they could do to make it right either, which is on me. I've heard a lot of great things about this place so maybe check it out for yourself, but in my opinion the eggs benedict were very bland, and not something I enjoyed, but everyone has a different flavor pallet. *** I edited my review after a long conversation with the owner, which honestly was a little aggressive, and not the best approach on her part, but I understand she's trying to defend her business and I agree that maybe people should try their food to form their own opinion and maybe my 1 star review would deter people from making up their own mind.

As far as breweries go Sudwerk Brewing is royalty…read more They were the first brewpub to open in Davis and have been around since 1989. If that ain't brewery royalty, I don't know what is. That being said, before my most recent visit, I hadn't been here in probably four years. Luckily that's going to change because my most recent visit was a great one. The wifey and I decided we wanted to have a drinking day, well maybe I should call it a "brewery crawl", sounds more dignified, and we decided to do it in Davis and what better spot to start it than Sudwerk Brewing. When we arrived, I was surprised that the whole thing has changed since last I'd been here, last time I swear I ordered beer in the back garage and they didn't have the classy setup they have now. They have a great outside area now that is just an awesome spot to sit and enjoy food and drink. But even their inside area where the bars are, it's great in there, total chill spot, even have a decent arcade for those of us who enjoy that kind of thing. Like I mentioned I hadn't been here in a while, so I decided to go with a beer sampler and the wifey went with an Aperol Spritz. As far as food goes, we decided in the spirit of the crawl, we would stick to appetizers. I went with the elote corn ribs and the wifey went with the truffle garlic fries. The service was pretty good, though I did order off a QR code at my table, they got my order right and everything was delivered very quickly. The fries were super garlicky and loved the truffle shavings, I really enjoyed them, the aioli it came with was top notch. The elote corn ribs were the cutest little things, but tasty, I also enjoyed them and would order those bad boys again for sure. The wife's Aperol Spritz was pretty good, she mentioned it being quite refreshing and she ended up ordering two of them. The beer sampler,I mean we are at the oldest brewpub in Davis, you know the beer was going to be on point and it was. The IPAs and the Double IPAs stood out the most, I really enjoyed the cider as well. Overall my visit was very solid and was a great way to start our brewery crawl in Davis. My overall impression of this place is that it's like a destination spot in a lot of ways, especially on a nice sunny day, they have it all, really good food menu, award-winning beer, facilities to accommodate just about any type of party with their inside and outside dining area. Can't go wrong choosing Sudwerk Brewing.

I've had really mixed experiences here. When I moved here…read moreover 20 years ago, it was a good place for beer, but a terrible place for food. The restaurant closed and for a while they were in transition. In the meantime, I found the dock store, which I truly loved. Really great vibe and a fantastic way to try a lot of beers that you would never find anywhere else. The people were amazing. Not really a food experience, but they did their best to bring in some good food trucks, etc., until the restaurant opened again. Now the restaurant is open fully as of a couple of years ago. Completely refurbished, and it looks great. The problem is that the service is really strange. Consistently. I can't tell you the number of times I've sat on the patio only to be ignored for a half an hour or more. Inside is also hit or miss. That seems to be their Achilles heel The food has improved considerably. Four stars for that! Prices are reasonable for better than average bar food. They do have some nice specials from time to time. The patio is great. Yes, trains will go by, but it's pretty infrequent and hey, you've got to expect that! They do their best to keep it cool as well. The live music can be very good and not deafening, which I appreciate. Pub quiz is always fun as well! And how can I not mention the beer? The beer is great. There's always something new to try, and it's local, which I love. I keep hoping the service issues would improve. That would definitely bump them up a star in my book.

Hostess and bartenders are friendly and helpful. / Now let's talk about the food , food was really good , we did have some issues with some of the items and how they were prepared but it got taken care of . I really don't like when someone's food isn't correct and they have to wait to eat . So we did have an issue with a steak being over cooked and a side of crab that came out still frozen ( very odd nobody caught that ) . But even with those two issues the waitress and manager were amazing and took care of us . I have to say that the service we received was AMAZING,,, I think our servers name was Ari , she was fantastic, friendly, helpful and just overall great . The manager that stepped in to help us was also amazing , so I say Thank You Cattlemens for making sure we had a fantastic dining experience.

We arrived around 7:30 p.m., and I had to ask more than once for water. After ordering, we waited about an hour for our food. By the time it arrived, we had already been waiting quite a while and hadn't eaten for several hours. Unfortunately, several of the steaks came out cold and were extremely salty. The kids' steaks were also incredibly chewy--possibly just the cut of meat, but they were essentially inedible. Most of that food ended up going to waste. The potatoes were also disappointing; they were hard and not enjoyable at all. We did let our waiter know about the issues. He spoke with the manager, and she did remove two of the meals from our bill, which I appreciated. However, we still spent almost $300 on dinner, and it was very frustrating to spend that much money on food that several of us could barely eat. There was also some confusion with the "Dinner for Two" option on the menu. The way the dessert portion and pricing were explained to us was confusing, particularly regarding whether the dessert was included or discounted depending on whether you ordered it. Overall, I expected a much better experience for the price. I understand restaurants can have an off night, especially when they're busy, but between the long wait, cold and overly salty steaks, chewy meat, hard potatoes, and the overall cost, I left very disappointed. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be returning.

Back Door Bistro, Vacaville: 2026 Jul 10 (4.29 of 5)…read more Ladies Gathering!! The service here is a 4.5 of 5. We had different servers who attended to us and they're both friendly and looked cheerful. We got there towards the end of Happy Hour and was presented with their Happy Hour menu. The menu is small, easy to read and has almost everything we'd want for that time of day - including the drinks. The food is a 'hit' or 'miss'. Here's my review: Drinks: Both the Arnold Palmer and the Cadillac Margarita were good. My lemonade tea wasn't overly sweet and I could definitely taste the lemonade. The pitcher of Cadillac Margarita looks innocent but may give someone a slow and powerful buzz if you're not used to the drink. (4.75 of 5) Charcuterie: This a complete appetizer board. Overall, there were some hits and misses, however, we agreed this is a well thought out appetizer board. (4 of 5) Crispy Brussels Sprouts: This is the best dish here, featuring deeply caramelized, dark golden-brown edges and a nutty, earthy flavor. Their Crispy Brussels Sprouts is also the best we've had. The seasoning is on-point, allowing the texture to show off its crackling, crunchy bite on the outside, contrasted by a tender, melt-in-your-mouth interior. (5 of 5) Seasonal Tacos: "Oh WOW!" The explosion of spicy and tangy flavours balanced by contrasting textures makes this dish "pop". (4.75 of 5) Beet Salad: The colours were lovely, but this beet salad was over-salted. The vibrant dish featuring beets as the main ingredient, balances the earthy sweetness with contrasting textures and flavours. If this wasn't too salty, it would have been more refreshing. (3.75 of 5) Coconut Lime Bouillabaisse (halibut, jasmine rice, spinach, snap pea, pickled shiitake mushroom, coconut lime broth, basil oil): Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought Bouillabaisse means seafood. The only seafood we noticed were chunks of halibut, which were delicious. This dish looks and tastes more like an elevated Thai soup dish that cost too much. (3.5 of 5) After walking in, we decided to sit outdoors because of the loud music that was playing. We're glad we did. The overhang on the veranda was well positioned with plants and flowers softening the cement walkway. The weather was pleasant - with a gentle breeze blowing down the corridor. Parking is easy if you arrive early enough. One last note: Back Door Bistro in Vacaville was featured on "Check, Please! Bay Area"

Let's start with the good: the cashier was friendly, the patio seating was lovely, and the fact that they're dog-friendly is a major win. Sometimes, ambiance really does a lot of the heavy lifting, and this place has that going for it. As for the food? Decent, but not particularly memorable. I ordered the chorizo and eggs with potatoes, and everything was good (albeit salty), nothing that quite had me plotting my return visit. The carne asada burrito looked a little lonely on the plate, but I'll let my dining companion break down the details in his own review. The value was another sticking point. Prices felt a little steep for what we got, and the service had a hiccup or two. My mimosa was handed to me right after I ordered, but my homie had quite a wait for his Irish coffee. Nothing kills the brunch vibe quite like one person having their drink and then we're all sorta feeling the time pass. I felt like they forgot about us. Overall, the patio, the atmosphere, and the dog-friendly setup were definite positives. The food and value? A little underwhelming. The best thing about Cafe Bernardo that day? The company I kept. Those two get a dozen stars each!
