Walked in (no reservations taken) and was told there was about a 30 minute wait. Walked around the parking lot to checked out the other stores, and just as discussed- 30 min to get a table. What they do not mention tho is that it's about 10 minutes to take your order and about 45 min to bring your food! So you are sitting there for another hour with no food. Our waiter (Asian guy) and his teammate were super nice but..... when you have a kiddo with special needs - a 30 min wait for a table and 60min wait for the food is too long. The actual food was ok - my fried chicken was overdone and dry. My daughter loved her filet mignon and sauce. Not sure I would go back given the mediocre food and the 90 minute wait overall. The waiters and check-in guy were all super nice and friendly but stressed as the kitchen backs up all. read more

Still one of the best dining experiences ever. Our server Nick was fantastic with his suggestions and service. We had the recommended specials. The mussels were OMG good. I had the short ribs which were amazing. And the others had the peach burger. Also amazing. And a filet. Cooked to perfection. If you're in the area. Do NOT miss a chance to eat here!!! read more

INCREDIBLE service, food and atmosphere. We were in town for the Canyons Endurance Trail runs and found The Chef's Table thanks to all these amazing yelp reviews. It's popular with the locals. Once you enter it seems like everyone knows each other ... big smiles and hugs from the staff to the patrons. The food is absolutely delicious ... we started with the beet salad which was perfect. 3 different types of beets - red, golden (which were pickled) and a pinkish/purplish one on a bed of fresh arugala lightly dressed with olive oil, lemon and pepper. There were also thinly sliced apples (galas I think) that brought extra crunch and sweetness. SO SO GOOD! we also have the Brie, bacon fig jam burger which was so tender, juicy (it's a 2 -3 napkin type of burger) and flavorful. It comes with a huge dill pickle halve to cut through the richness of the burger. It's memorable ... order it! Got a side of the fries (no pesto and cheese as I knew the burger would be rich) and they are crispy, potato-ey and addicting. we also had the korean short rib and pork shank. Both tender (no knife needed) and flavorful (though very different profiles). We wish we could have gotten dessert, but it was before race day. Bummed about that as I imagine the dessert must be excellent based on what we sampled. had to get a signature cocktail though :) Ordered the blueberry houle and it was light and refreshing. The blueberries were fresh and sweet. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Water refills were fast (didn't have to ask) and people checked in on us/the meal to ensure all was A-OK. It was a very smooth, genuine, well organized and ran kitchen. Will be back!!!! read more

Amazing food so good but service super slow and I felt like everything was loud! I think you should come.

I'm not one who easily gives 5 star reviews and says a meal was perfect...but it really was! The service was attentive, vibrant and all around made for a lovely night. The restaurant was filled and bumbling with conversation and laughter. A twenty minute wait for a special meal we'll remember for months to come. read more

We stumbled across this little cheers like bar, looking place with farm to table food. The locals you can tell come regularly the manager was so attentive and friendly. The staff is happy and informative, and the food was delicious and even though the little place was packed everyone was happy and enjoy enjoying their food or their drinks. We can't wait to go back and so many gluten-free options and fresh farm table.! read more

Everything is amazing here! Their menu is seasonal so everything is always fresh and the ambiance is casual. I've had every burger, short ribs, tacos, polenta, brussel sprouts, beet salad, grilled chicken salad, pesto fries (always a favorite), and, the desserts. The warm bacon brownie with premium vanilla ice cream and bacon caramel is my go to, but I've never had a bad meal here and the staff are awesome! Greatest place ever!! read more

Delightfully, The Chef's Table is exactly as advertised: delicious, gourmet food in a casual unpretentious environment. It feels more like a nice sports bar, with elevated food. Service was casual but highly effective. We tried some apps and had two entrees, and everything was lovely: fresh, rich and flavorful. The avocado hummus was great and the grilled corn off-the-cob was my favorite thing overall. I couldn't stop eating it. Highly recommend this spot for a casual, comfortable but impressive feast. read more

(Yes I know the photo isn't the best) but this burger was absolutely amazing. At first I was hesitant to order a PB&J burger, but somehow they made it work so extremely well. The peanut butter and jelly complimented the burger and made it have that perfect sweet and savory combo with the peanut butter they used being super creamy. I would definitely come here with friends for great drinks and even better food! Everyone was super friendly and the staff made us laugh throughout the entire time, making us all feel like siblings honestly! Overall, it's a very "bro" restaurant. read more

i haven't written a 5 star review in what feels like months.. but the first one after a dry spell absolutely goes to the chef's table. where do i even begin? the service was a 12/10. when we first walked in, Quinton instantly greeted us and explained the wait times (honestly, so worth the wait). our servers Paul and Brahm were so friendly -- they made us feel like family! then don't get me started on the food.. because i'll just be upset the meal is over LOL. we started with the caprese; such fresh mozzarella and tomatoes with the perfect drizzle of balsamic reduction. we also got the pastrami reuben egg rolls, and wow, they had so much flavor packed inside. if i had to choose one last meal.. those egg rolls might be it. we then got our entrees and they were delicious *insert drool emoji*. the bacon brownie, yes, you read that correctly, just checked all the boxes for a delicious dessert. other positives -- there's tons of parking, which is always a plus. they also played such fun music. they also have an excellent menu; something for everyone. a wonderful dining experience overall, and i cannot wait for my next meal at the chef's table! read more

We sat at the bar. Our service was great and attentive, drinks were flowing, and food was amazing! It seems like they have a lot of regulars. The staff knew their guests by first name basis.

Chef's Table is such an amazing farm to table! Their menu is seasonal which is great, but not because their flavors are so fresh, but then you fall in love with a dish that isn't in season. Everything we've had is amazing, but the fried chicken with bacon gravy is my favorite fried chicken I have ever had! We're talking soooo good that it's like last meal worthy! They're only walk in because they don't need reservation. They are that good! It's worth the wait, don't miss out! read more

Menu changes slightly due to local availability of ingredients (my thoughts in looking at recent history of menus) Food - top notch, top quality, and flavor. Ala carte, so a $21 burger is just the burger. But, oh, what a burger.... Burger, with fig jam, was the best burger I have ever had. Rib meat, brisket, chuck roast ground 'burger' meat was the most flavor ever experienced in ground hamburger meat. Like right off the farm, fresh, flavorful, melt in your mouth likely 1/3 to 1/2 pound. Topped with a subtle sweet bacon fig jam, smooth triple cream Brie, mustard aoli, and crisp arugula. All on a whole grain bun with one half of a giant pickle on top of the bun, then stabbed through the heart with a large steak knife. A meal when paired with a starter for the table of $10 beer-battered crispy pesto fries and angel hair swiss cheese. Not soggy like most garlic or pesto fries due to the care in assembly and fresh ingredients, not some store bought wet pesto. Yep, this burger and fries deserved the time to write this. Local sourced Beet salad, $17. A nice light meal for the vegetarian in your party, but I want this next time. Red beets, fresh and flavorful. As was the arugula, golden beets, chioggia beets, asian pears, etc. A couple of bites convinced me this is a must try someday. Very pretty dish, great presentation. Southern fried Mary's chicken breast with bone in leg. $27. Baby (true babies) carrots on the bottom, next comes mashed potatoes, then the chicken and bacon gravy lightly topping off the top. Bar $8 craft beers are all good, ciders too. Fabulous mixed drinks about $14 are well presented just like the food. Staff - top notch casual, too casual if you ask me at these prices. I go to BBQ's better dressed. I can't think of anywhere so casually dressed. Not even Taco Bell. Otherwise, as stated, top notch. Ambiance - American bar restaurant, strip mall, clean but basic bathrooms, 2, gender neutral). No decorations, nothing unique, nothing fancy. Very bust at 1700 on a Friday evening, 45 minute wait, no place to sit (small bar was full), outside sidewalk (no place to sit) was typical swarms of mosquitos due to all the rains. Inside was wall to wall people, glad flu season has wound down.... Overall way above average food, high price, in a too casual atmosphere. Will go again for next years birthdays or special occasion. I have to try that beet salad.... Food 5 star, minus 1 star for ambiance. You have to try this place at least once. read more

I will admit, I was skeptical about the food at first.. if there's any advice I would give about coming here -- run! Don't walk. The food was spectacular. I was impressed from the first bite. The peso fries came out first. And this is a definite must have. Fries were crispy, and doused in a pesto seasoning topped with cheese. Who doesn't love cheese?! Literally licked my fingers as to no waste the flavor by wiping it on a napkin. The risotto was also made very well. Everyone at the table enjoyed it. And they certainly didn't skimp out on the portion size. My overall favorite would have the be the steak bites. For about $5/pc they better be an amazing bite. And that they were. The complexities of all the flavors was *chefs kiss* the tamaato, grilled lemon, and garlic. I'm already drooling just thinking about it. 1000% must have read more

This place ROCKS! We dropped in just before 5:00 on a Thursday and were seated immediately. The atmosphere is very relaxed and comfortable. The staff is friendly and very accommodating. The best part of the night was the food and drinks. The menu may look a little "outside the box" but the food is outstanding. This is fine dining with a Bohemian edge. I Love it. Get there early. As we were leaving around 6:30, they were lined up out the door. No wonder, this place is great. read more

Went around 6pm and the place was packed. It's cozy and inviting. Everyone was friendly and engaging. Wait time was somewhere around 30-45 min. There are chairs where you can sit to wait and a server will take drink orders. The food was tasty. We got the egg rolls, meals we went with filet and stroganoff. & ended with the bread pudding. read more

Above all, the staff and the impeccable service they provide is enough to warrant more than five stars. The food is ever changing and the variety will surely please the palates of any group.

5-star on service (the staff culture of this business is a 12 on a 10 scale) and 5-star food. There are already so many good reviews on Yelp for this business, but I spent my first visit here amazed. If you own a business and/or manage people come in see how optimal customer service looks. It's a really special moment at The Chef's Table - a "moment" that has survived ownership changes, a pandemic, and a bunch of other challenges that owner/operator Eric (say hi to him when you visit) has led his team through empowering them to make everyone feel special. As I sat here for dinner with the clock just passing their official closing time, a couple walked in and was received with "I'm so happy you are here! Let me get you a table" from my server Nick. Gracious, warm and engaging defined the entire staff. And the food! I had: Pesto fries Braised Short Rib Stroganoff Bread Pudding for dessert Old Fashioned All were ACES. Do yourself a favor- go to TCT and have one of the best meals you'll ever have. The. Go back again. read more

The food is consistently delicious! There often can be a bit of a wait but they let you order a drink while you wait which makes it much more tolerable. One of our favorite places for date night !

We had a few hours to kill before our Allen Stone concert at the Quarry, decided to stop by after checking the reviews. This is one of those places where you can feel the passion from the staff, the service was spot on, multiple fellas stop to check on us through our dining experience. We decide to try to burger with peaches with pesto fries, recommend by the staff. Everything was on point. Burger was moist, tender and the peaches changed the way I'll eat my burgers. Places was standing room only, line of 10 plus waiting. Again, the staff engaging in conversation while making sure food is to the expected standard was nice and definitely different. Keep up the great work all. See ya'll soon. PS, the quarry venue was nice, Allen Stone, rocked the house. Must see show and artist. read more

We got to the Chef's Table between 4:45 and 5:00 pm, and the place was buzzing with activity, however, finding parking was a breeze. As we entered, we were greeted by a crowd of waiting patrons and a lively atmosphere, amplified by the bar's proximity to the entrance. The wait time was surprisingly short, around 5 to 10 minutes at most. We were greeted and seated by someone who seemed to be the manager -- we couldn't be 100% certain, however, his exceptional kindness throughout our visit greatly enhanced our experience. As we continued our journey, the next person we met was Paul. He greeted us at our table and promptly took our drink orders. Paul offered an apology for the wait time right away, which, although unnecessary, was a considerate touch that we appreciated, particularly as the wait turned out to be quite brief. Before taking our order, Paul was very engaging; we discussed a variety of topics, which made us feel relaxed and like we were his sole priority, akin to being VIPs for the moment. Ultimately, my wife and I settled on the same cocktail, the Blueberry Haole, which was immensely tasty! Then Quentin (or Quintin, I'm not certain of the spelling) came to our table and took our order for food. My wife chose the Beet Salad, and I was torn between the Shrimp and Grits or the Southern Fried Mary's Chicken. After seeking Quentin's expert advice, I ultimately decided on the Shrimp and Grits. We received and savored our flavorful meals. My wife adores beet salads, and this occasion was no exception. The Shrimp and Grits had a taste reminiscent of my homemade version, and it was delightful. However, if you're cautious about greasy food, be aware that the broth in the Shrimp and Grits seems to be derived from the short rib gravy, but its flavor is so compelling that you might overlook its slight oiliness. Paul came back to take our order for the final course: dessert. Once again, we struggled to make a choice. Paul, emphasizing that he wasn't pushing for a sale, suggested the "Cornbread Strawberry Short Cake." We gladly accepted his recommendation, and we were delighted with our decision. My wife and I agreed that this was probably the best Short Cake we ever had, prompting me to want to try and duplicate this at home at some point. This was our third visit to the Chef's Table, and although our visits are infrequent, this experience ensures that we will definitely be returning much sooner. The Chef's Table is a strong supporter of law enforcement, adding to their appeal. If you find yourself in the Rocklin area, be sure to give them a try if you haven't yet. read more

We came in and there was seating at the bar. It got pretty busy after we arrived so we must have came at the right time. We had pretty good service, considering how busy they were.

Truly, a fantastic dining experience. From the customer service to the food... Everything was top-notch. Starters were the beet salad and the asparagus plate. Both were super flavorful, fresh and gorgeously presented. For the main course, I had the fried chicken, which was absolutely delicious. However, one in our party had the halibut which was off the charts good. Save room for dessert I had the churro bread pudding. But, the star of the show was the bacon infused brownie with chocolate and caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream. Food coma to follow read more
