Another great meal here: the Chicken Piccata was a delicious with that bright, lemony sauce, and the Ragin' Cajun pasta had just the right spicy kick. Yum!

I've been around Davis long enough to see this building go through 3 different names!…read more We heard that as its current name it had great food so we decided to try it out. We got there right at opening and the server/hostess, Aurora, greeted us with a warm smile and welcome. There are two choices of spots to sit at - low tables/booths or high top tables with stools. We opted for a low table. I ordered the Pulled Pork Grilled Cheese sandwich with sweet potato fries and my friend ordered the Chinichurri Tri-Tip sandwich with a side salad. When our meals came out, we were pleasantly surprised by the portion sizes! I feel like I had a lot of fries on my plate and the sandwich was stuffed with meat! The side salad and tri-tip was pretty hefty too. My sandwich was DELICIOUS! I was only able to eat half so I left with half for lunch the next day. My friend was the same. I love when I can get two meals out of one!! The restaurant carries a very fun vibe. I can imagine it is so lively when it is packed! There is an area in the back that gives off a speakeasy vibe. Overall, awesome restaurant! Great food, awesome service and chill vibe.

The Cowboy Cuban is the next best thing I've found on the menu and worth ordering. The house dressing is excellent too. The Down the Hatch burger was decent, just didn't have quite enough flavor for my taste -- not a reason to skip the place, but I'd go Cowboy Cuban first. Love coming with the dog when weather permits.

First off the food was great, customer service terrible! I…read morehave a very stressful job and when I go out I like some customer service. They did not come around to the table very often which was ok till we were waiting for our check. My friend caught her eye and she said she'd be right back. Over 20 minutes later I went up to her at the register and said we need to get going. Her response was I gave your ticket to....and she stalled and , I responded with to who? She then said it that was table whatever. She basically accused me of having an attitude since I got there. We had separate checks since I'm in a company card and can't do alcohol in it. When she came back she handed us the wrong cards . Turns out, she did run the right meals on the right card but obviously my first thought was she didn't. I asked my friend if I was bitchy because I was really tired and was told I was not. Trust me, they wouldn't lie. I tried calling to talk to the manager and guess who it was? Yeah, don't bother

We had the short ribs as Chef's special and it was delicious and tender. You don't need a steak knife. We also got the Jambalaya pasta and the spice is just about right! Plenty protein in that plate. I'd say - there was even amount of pasta and protein so I would say it was worth your money. I like the place being casual and cozy. The idea of separating the bar from the dining area is good. Was nice that there is outdoor seating as well. Small city parking may be a challenge when it gets busy but who doesn't like to walk a little after hearty meal, huh? This would be nice place to bring good friends for a nice dinner or just a quick catch up afternoon liquid refreshments. They also have 4 tv at the bar area. Must be great during sports watching! Come by!!

What a gem! We…read morevisited this place for the first time as part of a birthday party (but it was actually a cover for the birthday celebrant to propose to his girlfriend -- teehee -- which he did, on the second-floor balcony, and our group got to watch and cheer from the ground). It was a cold afternoon/evening in December, but we dressed warmly and stayed by the firepit. There were maybe 4-6 other clusters of people there also, and definitely another birthday party going on because the guests were singing along loudly to a special request playlist that the staff played on the speaker for them. I thought it was a good number of people considering how cold and dark it got. Our group brought a bunch of kids, and they pretty much explored the grounds the whole time -- feeding the animals, making friends with other kids, and having a blast. Food from the food truck was fine, just be careful leaving your food out unattended because some random dog gobbled our burger when we weren't looking. It's a beautiful spot. We should all be so grateful for having access to it, basically for free. Drinks were good. Good vibes. Super relaxing to be out in nature. Friendly staff. As of this review, you can reserve areas for parties/events for free, and you can bring in your own food and drinks, excluding alcohol, of course, since they are a brewery. I'm sure it gets crazy busy during the warmer months, but it is worth a visit even in the cold. Just dress right.

IYKYK But then, if…read moreyou do know, how do you know? Like, seriously, for anyone who's been here, how did you find out about Ruhstaller Farm? Though near the 80, Ruhstaller Farm is pretty much in the middle of nowhere. There's no conspicuous signage. It's easily possible to drive right by & never know what's here. & yet, the few times I've been here, generally later on a Friday or Saturday night, it's obvious that Ruhstaller Farm is the busiest place for many miles around in any direction. It's somewhat puzzling to me. Add in the idyllic bucolic vibes, & this place feels is a bit surreal to me. There's something about the frolicking farm ambiance here that reminds me of the Aliki Farms skit from the 1st episode Portlandia.* So how do I know about Ruhstaller Farm? A friend I homebrewed with for years lives in Dixon. Being beer nerds enough to brew it ourselves, we'd stumbled across Ruhstaller beers a long time ago. That early stuff was rough. The beers pouring now at Ruhstaller Farm are definitely a drastic improvement. The bar staff has always been friendly. & really, this is a nice place to relax & enjoy a beer. But that's it. I'll come through once in a while & have a beer or 2. I'm not staying. No matter how much anyone might say they'd love me to stay, & I'm absolutely not putting on a frilly dress. *https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=If41cZMBgqA

Good size wings. Good flavor. We got ours with Ranch... note, the dressing was a bit on the watery side. Crispy onion ($6.99) - extremely crispy crust... cannot even taste the onion.

Good flavor, bean to beef ratio is pretty good. Bathrooms are located past the video games... mens room on the right and women's room to the left. Men's room had only 1 sink/ 2 urinals and 2 stalls. They were out of soap when we were there. Room was spacious and clean. The restrooms appeared to be shared by both the bar and restaurant.

As far as the food, I have to say the fish and chips far exceeded what I expected. The beer batter coated all over the fresh cod was fantastic and fried perfect. Went well with the house-made tartar sauce. The shrimp had the same beer batter and paired with Chipotle mayo. The fries were nicely seasoned and good to dip in the sauces. Their beef hot dog is basic but very tasty with the slight sear. And I decided to try their funfetti cake milkshake which was their current flavor of the month. That tasted just like a birthday cake and was so delicious. There's plenty of seating outside where you can enjoy your food and hang out. Look forward to trying more items on their menu in the near future.

Quite salty and the burger was dry (not the patty, no sauce was on the burger). The patty was cooked well though. Nice and crispy. All in all, okay burger, tasted fresh but just okay. I should have predicted from the people waiting outside, but it took much longer than I thought it would to get my burger. I waited nearly 25 minutes (maybe 6 people ahead of me), which isn't a bad time but I kind of thought it would be faster service. That being said, the service was nice and the person who took my order was friendly. No real comments on ambiance. It's got a little service window that you order from and wait outside at the picnic tables.

I always order the double char and sub the bun goes lettuce wrap. I don't really like how they just cut some I every lettuce and put a thick slice of it as the bun.

The cooks and prep workers are always busy.

OMG what is happening to our food!?!? Every good place is…read moreselling out to giant conglomerates who make every restaurant just like every other so we are stuck with mediocrity across every brand. Habit sold out to YUM brands in 2020. The goal for the company that also owns KFC, Taco Bell, and Pizza Hut was to make money in CHINA. So instead of a cool, beachy, California burger place, Habit is now just another logo. We all get the same crap food everywhere with a different logo. We cannot emphasize strongly enough how tiny they've made their burgers. They look bigger in our picture than they actually were. They don't taste anything like they used to. We walked into this location after a long drive with two hours still ahead of us. There were two occupied tables that already had their food. We stood there for TEN minutes without anyone saying one word or acknowledging our presence. They looked at us but said nothing. As we stood at the counter, a woman came out of what we think was the bathroom. She had to walk right next to us to go behind the counter. We're thinking "oh good, the front counter person is here". Nope. She walked right by us, made a U-turn around the counter, and headed into a back office. Remember, we had been in our car for several hours. We didn't mind standing. We walked into the store and up to the counter. After 15 minutes of standing there, one of us looked behind us and to the left (closer to the seating area) and said "oh I guess we're supposed to order over there?". Still no contact from the crew. Blank millennial stares. We ordered at the kiosks in the seating area and started looking for a table. They were all covered in either grease, crumbs, pieces of food, or stickiness. We went to the counter to grab a handful of napkins to wipe off a table and a guy behind the counter walked near us. We asked if they had a bus towel or something we could use to clean a table. The only reason for two stars is this guy finally smiled and was pleasant, in at least a retail way. He grabbed a towel walked with us to a table, wiped it and we had a nice wet table top which we then dried with our handful of napkins. As he turned away he said "sorry about that" and we started to say "that's ok thanks for your help", but as soon as we started to say that it was clear he was talking on his headset to a drive through customer. So we're all just cogs in the Yum brands corporate machine One of the last "good" burger places in California is now dead forever. A rotting corpse of a once promising brand to be used and wrung out for every penny Yum brands can get until they spin it off or shut it down or move it to "Asia". Zombie workers kill time for money at their dead end positions, pleasing a manager who is doing the same. All of them biding time until Yum brands figures out how to crank out corporate "food" without any workers at all. Good bye Habit. You used to be good. Your new owners can't even maintain the pepper and condiment bar.
