Went back for another lunch and it didn't disappoint. Yes, this place can be confusing because there are no servers and you have to order at the bar. I've watched many people seat themselves at tables and leave 10 minutes later because no one asked them what they wanted. Yes, the decor is stuck in the 90's, but I actually like it. The double smash burger I had was excellent. The bun they use is awesome and they charred the patty perfectly. It tasted way better than Fleming's Prime Steakhouse burger I had last week, that's for sure. The thick steak-cut fries are awesome, too. Over salted but nothing a cold beer can't cut through. Highly recommend their smash burger. read more

I dropped by with a specific mission - to check out the Smashburger (as part of a burger competition I'm participating in). If it wasn't for this "mission," there's a good chance I wouldn't have wandered in. I LOVE Sutter Street, but honestly I don't live nearby and don't have many reasons to come here. That said, I'm thankful for the mission and glad I dropped by. It's a super cute place and the bartender had a nice relaxed chill vibe to her. This is where I'd normally drop her name and give her kudos - but I didn't get her name. I thought her name would be on the receipt, but it wasn't! I assume her name isn't "Shift Night N" anyway, which would be weird - but that's what is listed for "server". Anyway... the burger... I liked it. I liked it a lot. I was not asked how I wanted it cooked (not expected or demanded by me) - but an observation that I toss in for comparison purposes. It was cooked to a solid medium, which is fine with me. Caramelized onions were standard - nice - but the tomato and lettuce were listed as 'optional' - and the bartender (Shift Night N) asked me if I wanted them. I opted in. The bun was above average - definitely a notch above the typical mass-produced buns often used elsewhere. I opted for sweet potato fries. They had good flavor. Personal preference-wise... I would have liked them to be cooked a smidge more. If/when I come back, I'll probably ask them to be crispy-er. Overall, thumbs up! I wouldn't hesitate to come back and try other things on the menu. #burgers read more

The food was as expected. We had burgers and fries, and they were pub food. My husband ordered a drink, and I asked for water. He handed me a glass with no ice, and said I could get it from a bucket set up on a ledge by the door with no lid covering the top. The ambiance was okay. The booths were nicely secluded with high separations between each one. The service left a lot to be desired. We had never been here, so we didn't know the drill. The man behind the bar asked us what we wanted to eat, with no greeting. There was a sign saying to order at the bar, but the bartender/order-taker didn't even smile or say hello. I forgot to unlock my credit card, so it didn't go through, and the bartender was annoyed. We paid a different way. He still hadn't smiled, he didn't say thank you, nothing. When we left, no one said come again, thank you, or don't let the door hit you. Overall, we did not feel welcome in this place. read more

This place is flat out disgustingly dirty!!!! Carpet is gross, tile is gross, and sticky counters. Dark, dirty bathroom with broken light and leaking sink. I do not think they have cleaned this place for a very long time or put any money into this place for years! Food was ok but I'm questioning the cleanliness of the kitchen. Will not be returning. read more

The Fat Rabbit Public House - This is just one example of disgusting! - Fish & Chips Near Me - Folsom, California

The Fat Rabbit is an is a cool British type pub located in the old Folsom district. Known for its relaxed atmosphere, traditional pub beer, and some great stables. One of those staples is Weiner Schnitzel, which is a favorite of mine. I went in on a Tuesday and found out they only serve it on Fridays so I thought I would try the fish and chips. The fish and chips were pretty good. You'll get a healthy portion of fish as well as potato wedges and some of the traditional fixings - vinegar etc if you choose to use them. The bar area has dart boards which we used to use when having work team events which was fun. Great place if you're looking for a fun place to hang out with friends! read more

I stopped by for lunch this past Sunday, and it was a casual pub atmosphere with a bar at the center and plenty of seating in all directions, for dining in. The booth tables are very private as the wooden dividers are tall. I would call them seat backrests but they're not padded, so I don't think you'd wanna rest your back on these. There's a bit of animal decor and artwork on the walls but nothing noteworthy in the restaurant. Even the bunny sculptures I saw were minimal (and not fat at all). Guests grab a menu at arrival and seat themselves wherever they like, then walk up to the bar to place orders, and take a number so the staff can bring out the order to your table when ready. I got the fish n chips, and it was served to my table with great presentation. One piece was more than enough. The fish had a golden crisp exterior but was a bit soggy beneath the batter. It tasted fine, nothing special. I really enjoyed the fries though. A nice light crunch on the outside with great potato flavor. read more

What a fun new bar we discovered! Bradd, our bartender, was exceptional and attentive. He was very mindful of my dietary considerations and made sure that my salad was vegetarian. He made some excellent suggestions, so we got to try our fun new foods as a result! What we recommend; -House salad was simple but very refreshing -Burger was excellent, down to the last bite -We tried the popcorn soup and it was surprisingly spicy. -Don't skip out on dessert here! Strawberry rhubarb pie is reason alone to come back! And sweet, fried pretzel with powdered sugar too! Come on a Tuesday, you'll get to take part in Trivia Tuesday! It goes on for about 1.5 hour and is very fun and interactive! We will definitely be back! :) read more

It's a nice little place here. Tables, backyard. Nice bar, But, what you should absolutely try are the fish and chips! Fresh fish, fresh fruit, tasty potatoes. If I don't know any better, I would've thought they specialized in fish and chips. Perhaps next time I'll sit down and have a drink here. Great vibe also. loved it.! read more

The Fat Rabbit Public House - Fish and chips well loved! - Fish & Chips Near Me - Folsom, California

This place is cool. Seat yourself, grab menus by the door before you sit and order at the bar when you're ready. We only ordered food and it was just okay. The fish and chips... the fish was thickly battered (which we were not a fan of the thickness) there was a good tasting tarter sauce for it & the chips were thick steak fries, those tasted good. Then we had the scotch egg, it was overcooked, it should be soft boiled eggs not way over hard boiled and the outside was slightly burnt but should be a golden brown. The flavors were good in it. Lastly we ordered the clam chowder which was VERY thin based. It seemed more of a broth than chowder. Again, the flavor was good but it was just meh. Not sure if we would come back but if we do, we would probably try other things. read more

As soon as you walk in, the nostalgia & warm, cozy vibes are apparent. The interior makes me want to dive into good food/conversation/company. That's how our visit can be summed up. It was a colder spring day when we visited so a warm dish was warranted. The shepherds pie was spot on; warmed my belly & heart. If you're looking for a lovely pub with all the feels + good eats, this is it. Place your order at the bar and a server will bring you the plates. It's a no fuss, DIY kind of spot. Looking forward to visiting again. read more

I'd had The Fat Rabbit on my "must try" list for quite some time due to alluring pictures of pub style fish and chips. A personal favorite. When my basket hit the table it looked great, and was piping hot, fresh from the fryer. My hopes were dashed, however as I tucked in to find thick, mushy batter and a dull, lackluster flavor. The end of one piece had a nice crunch, but contained no fish. The rest was a sog-fest. Chips were good but average. Service was friendly. Atmosphere was typical well-worn, slightly dingy pub. Grab a pint, play some darts. read more

The Fat Rabbit in Folsom has such a great, low-key vibe that makes it the perfect spot to just hang out and relax. The food is way better than your typical pub fare--everything I've tried has been seriously delicious--and their beer list is honestly incredible with so many unique options to pick from. It's easily one of my favorite places to grab a pint and a great meal without any fuss, and I can't recommend it enough if you're looking for a solid neighborhood haunt. read more

My daughter and I ordered from fat rabbit when we attended a listening party at uncle Charlie's. I ordered the fish and chips which was phenomenal and my daughter ordered the turkey with the coleslaw on rye which she absolutely loved. I love the fries too the gentleman that helped me on the phone was very kind and helpful when you went in to pick up the food both gentlemen were helpful and when asking for extra tartar sauce and ranch, I always hesitate that they're gonna charge you more but they didn't. I felt the price was fair. The amount of food was great. It'll be fun to go and actually sit at the restaurant in the future. We will be back. A suggestion would be since uncle Charlie's does not serve food is since you are so close is an online ordering system where someone can order online and pick it up or even pay a runner you could do some great service! read more

A traditional public house! Beer on draft, pub food, cozy nooks to sit in, kids and dogs on the patio, and friendly staff. Paul and I had our first date here almost 5 years ago (aww) and now we take our doggie and little niece to enjoy a respite from the bustling Christmas events in the street. The vibe inside is warm and welcoming, dark woods and curtains in the windows. Outside seating is available and many bring their pooch with them. Order at the bar and the waitress will find you. You can get yourself some water at the jug by the front door while you wait. Nice space to sit in for a while, drink a beer, and enjoy your own or others company. read more

Fun little place to grab a drink and an appetizer. The pieroskis they serve must be great because I saw at least a half dozen people order them. I didn't try them, but did try the pretzel with cheese. Glad I got the small one when I saw the size of the large. The bartender was really friendly and managed to chat even though she was quite busy. All in all a great little place in Folsom. read more

Needed to pass some time before our dinner reservation came up at another place, my wife and I decided to drop in for a drink. What a funky, cool, and neat place. They have a large array of different beers, but we decided to have a couple of cocktails instead as well as a pretzel with cheese. The bartender couldn't have been nicer and the servers who brought out the food were smiling and welcoming. Really glad we dropped in. read more

Honestly I've never felt so disrespected. Came up for my son's graduation from the police academy and stopped her the next morning. All I got was fries and water yet still tipped 25 percent. Girls in front of me got water he put ice and lemon. He just handed me cups. I felt so disrespected. Just a trash of a place. I guess if you aren't local they treat you that way but seriously that's ridiculous read more

Since I live in Folsom The Fat Rabbit is my go to spot for a decent pint of Guinness. They serve their Guinness in a 20oz glass which in my opinion is the only way to serve a proper Guinness. Laid back atmosphere with a friendly staff and a good selection of British pub food. read more

Went to Fat Rabbit a few days ago for lunch. Went because it was one of the only places I could find in the Sacramento area that served pierogies. I've never had them before, but I saw some in a cooking show and all of a sudden I had to try them. The place was not crowded during lunch. You pick up a menu upon entry and order at the bar. The place was clean and comfortable. I ordered the pierogies and a pretzel and my husband ordered the fish tacos. The pierogies were really good. Mild in flavor, but super smooth potato filling and topped with carmelized onions. The pretzel was also good. My husband enjoyed his fish tacos, but he said he would probably not order them again because the mango salsa was a little too sweet for his taste. read more

Gave this place another chance recently. Staff are friendly but the food is meh. The floors are in dire need of being cleaned/updated.

Decided to try English food with a friend who is well-versed in the food. It is a different experience as you find a seat first, claim it, then order your and drinks at the bar and you pay for it upfront. The decor resembles a typical American version of a pub. The service was really awesome. The food came out all at once; even the appetizers. So order and pay for them first. Then order and pay for your meal. The food is incredible. Cooked fresh and hot. The best is the Poutine style Steak fries. Very delicious. Bangers/Mash and Cottage (Shepards) Pie was done very well and full of flavor. Definitely worth it to stop here and eat. read more

I really enjoyed their fish and chips! It comes with steak cut french fries and a cup of coleslaw. Very filling and satisfying, and the fish is very good in terms of texture and taste. I also tried the scotch egg, which I never had before, and that was also very satisfying. It was good with the mustard sauce, and also with the HP sauce. Not sure what's in the HP sauce, but it was pretty damn good... ;-) read more

Fantastic service from walking in, ordering my to go order until leaving!!! Ordered two orders of fish and chips and the poutine and they were all HOT and DELICIOUS when we ate it at our friend's home a little later!!! read more

We stopped by here for lunch to try a new place. It was not what we expected. The fish was good, but the chips (fries) were awful, they tasted like they were reheated and stale, and lacked some salt. The guy at the bar serving us was very nice. The other problem was the carpet. It definitely needed a good clean. Maybe after a few beers none one will notice . But we will not be coming back to this place. read more

Fish tacos are excellent. The flour shells are delish but the mango salsa is legit. You see and taste mango. Fresh and tasty

Tucked into old folsom is this treasure. Walking up ypu see a classic lookung pub with beautiful windows and painted white. Openung the heavy door leads to wood all over, brass finishes, and lots if character. The food menu is small but fits in with the overall vibes. They have food and drink specials. The old fashion comes with a show and the ither drinks come with warmth. Our bartender was great, even if he was busy. Definitely recommend this treasure. read more

Overall I liked this place. The food a drinks were great and my friends all enjoyed it. However, improvements must be made. Odor when walking in. When we walked in we were hit with a distinct odor which did not agree with me. The best way I could describe it was stall air mixed with moisture. I did notice a couple walk in and both said it smelled and they quickly turned and left. The bar drink menu was sticky and gross and so was the edge of the bar. No one greeted customers as they arrived As a new patron to the bar there was no explanation anywhere that they had no wait staff and all food orders were to be placed at the bar. Seating is first come, first served. This place is in need of a deep cleaning and proper ventilation needs to be installed. With a little attention to detail, this place could easily become amazing. read more

Every once and a while I start to think that the frozen fish and chips I make in the oven are just as good... but then I come out and eat their shatteringly crispy hot fish and chips and remember that it is far superior to anything I can make or get elsewhere. We also ordered the schnitzel this time and it was also delicious. All food and great drinks were enjoyed on the lovely shaded patio where excellent people watching ensued. read more

We had a most tasty meal in this charming old English styled pub. It had been many years since our last visit, but it all seemed the same. Excellent food and service in a relaxed atmosphere. We had the fish and chips, both ways, and a couple of draft beers. Everything was just like Mary Poppins, practically perfect in every way. Definitely recommend. read more

Very good pub! My fiance and I came here for st paddy's yesterday and enjoyed every bit of it!It was very crowded but was to be expected for the holiday. We still somehow managed to find seating. The ambience was very home-y, I loved the wooden booths and historic artwork. I'm a big history person so I loved it!! Much better than most pubs I've ever been to, with very fast service even with the amount of people there. Fish was delicious with a soft bun. Fries were hot. Shepherds pie was good just a little salty. Pretzel was good, cheese sauce was okay. Overall had a good experience here! Will definitely be back! :) read more

A German style pub with great food! There are tables inside and out and bar seating. When you walk in, there are menus and a sign letting you know to seat yourself and order at the bar. We tried the Poutine, the Scotch Eggs, soup (tomato) and salad and a Bloody Mary. Everything was extremely good! I thought the poutine was a too salty, but we ate every last bite still. I have had poutine before in upstate NY and in Canada where it's on almost every menu. I always wondered why it wasn't seen much here. The service was friendly. We are glad to have finally tried this little gem out. read more

Hubby and I came here for a date night since we love pubs and pub food. The Fat Rabbit did not disappoint. Typical for pub fare you order at the bar and then find your seat. There is plenty of seating available either at the bar, tables or booths. I had their Pink Lady Cider which was lovely. Hubby tried their Orange Wheat which he said was very good. We hated our meals of traditional bangers and mash and brie and tomato salad. We both left very satisfied. Although I have to admit I was a bit sad that they did not have ANY desserts available, even though they were tormenting us from the menu. Hopefully their bread pudding will be back soon. Definitely a good place with good food and friendly service to pop into and enjoy! read more
