    Guy running the place was nice, but the hotdog was overpriced and just sad. The fried onions on top was the best part.

    Great food! Saw them near the post office in Vacaville and decided to give them a shot. Very glad I did. Great chili dog!

    We realized we'd never had Five Guys and always wanted to, so we decided to try them on our way out…read moreof town. When we got there, all the employees greeted us, which we liked. Customer service hasn't been what it used to, so it was a nice gesture. The decor reminded me of In-N-Out, with its vintage feel. We both decided on the classic combo with the little burger, fries, and a drink. As we were waiting for our food, the place started getting very busy, and we were glad we got a spot to sit in. Once your food was done we were given our food in a bag. We were a little puzzled but decided to just use the bag as a tray to put the food on. The "little burger and fries" were not little to us and we were both glad we didn't upgrade anything to something bigger. The burgers were really good, just a little too much bun. We were pleasantly surprised that mushrooms and sautéed onions came on the burger, even though some might not like that. The fries were very crispy and hot which my husband loved. Everything was really good, but my husband noticed on an ad that they fry their fries in peanut oil. I have a slight issue with peanut oil, but some people could be really allergic. They should definitely let people know before they order. All in all, we will definitely be back again in the future. The employees were nice, the business was clean, and the food was good. Just be aware if you have a peanut allergy that they use peanut oil to cook.

    First time trying five guys! Ordered online ab 15 mins before close. Ready super quick! The male…read moreemployees working that night were super nice to us greeted us! Had great energy.

    Had an incredible experience at Rustwater Kitchen & Taproom in downtown Fairfield. From the moment…read moreI walked in, I was welcomed with genuine hospitality by Paul behind the bar. Super personable, great energy, and made the whole experience feel effortless. I ordered the peanut butter and jelly burger--smash-style patty with bacon, peanut butter, jelly, Tabasco, and pickles--and wow... one of the most unique and satisfying burgers I've had in a long time. It hits that perfect balance of savory, sweet, and nostalgic. I asked Paul what he would pair with it, and he absolutely nailed it. He introduced me to "Chimp My Ride" from Solano Brewing Company, a rich stout with chocolate and peanut butter notes that complemented the burger perfectly. It honestly brought back that childhood lunchbox feeling in the best way possible. On top of that, Chef Jamie personally brought out the food and took the time to connect--great conversation, great presence, and you can tell there's real pride behind what they're doing here. The vibe, the style, the food, and the people all come together here. Easy five stars. I'll definitely be back.

    Some of the best dining experiences aren't planned, they're discovered…read more With the thermometer climbing to 103 degrees, the Spain vs. France World Cup semifinal kicking off on the big screens, and a craving for an ice-cold craft beer, I wandered into Rustwater Kitchen & Taproom, a downtown Fairfield favorite that's been serving locals since 2017. Within minutes, I knew I'd found exactly where I wanted to spend a hot summer afternoon. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between neighborhood tavern and craft beer destination. Vintage bicycles hang overhead, dozens of rotating taps line the wall, and the energy is lively without ever feeling chaotic. Whether you're catching the match, meeting friends after work, or simply escaping the summer heat, Rustwater has that welcoming vibe that makes you want to stay for another round. Following the bartender's recommendation, I ordered the Chicken Ciabatta from the specials board with a side of crispy tater tots, and it was absolutely the right call. The sandwich arrived beautifully presented on a perfectly toasted ciabatta roll with just the right amount of crunch. Inside was juicy grilled chicken layered with smoky bacon, melted provolone, crisp lettuce, ripe tomato, and a flavorful pesto mayo that brought everything together without overpowering the fresh ingredients. Every bite delivered a wonderful combination of textures and balanced flavors. The tater tots were exactly what great tavern food should be, golden, crisp, and light on the outside with a fluffy interior. They became downright addictive when dipped into a combination of ketchup and a Ghost Hot Sauce that once they are out they are out adding a slow-building kick that complemented the crispy potatoes perfectly. As I enjoyed a cold pint from their outstanding rotating tap list, Spain put the finishing touches on a 2-0 victory over France, sending them to the World Cup Final. Great soccer, an exceptional craft beer, and a fantastic lunch, it doesn't get much better than that on a scorching summer afternoon. Rustwater has earned its reputation over the years, and it's easy to understand why. Friendly service, an outstanding craft beer program, elevated tavern food, and an atmosphere that invites you to linger long after the final whistle. If you're looking for one of downtown Fairfield's best spots to enjoy creative tavern fare, explore an ever-changing lineup of craft beers, and catch the big game, Rustwater Kitchen & Taproom deserves a place on your list. I'll definitely be back to see what's on tap next, and without question, those crispy tater tots will be making another appearance on my table with the ghost hot sauce, if still available, due to the company going out of business.
