Anyone ever try the fish and chips at the Big Dipper? on Natoma - sometimes those kind of places are good - sometimes not.
There is the deli that is really good on Natoma called Mama Ann's that is owned by one of our fellow Folsom residents - a neighbor of mine.
How's that new Mexican restaurant on Natoma - forget the name.

Bailies is great. Don't let the location and exterior fool you. Go inside, and you'll find a small, tastefully done dining room, and a small bar area that makes about 30 different kids of martinis. Great food (asian skirt steak is the best), excellent wine list, good prices.
The Zindandel Grille is pretty good. There's a Scott's Seafood on Greenback, and the Cliff House has adequate food, nice location.
I haven't tried Sol Azteca, and have heard mixed reviews. I walked in for a drink one evening, only to discover they don't have a bar.
Other than those, I haven't found too much to rave about.
Most other places are chains.
I'm always lookin' and a hopin'

It seems like lots of seniors eat there. I think I ate there once about 5 years ago, but I don't remember much about it.
Is there anything good there and what are prices like? I was thinking about going there again one day for a Sunday brunch, but if it is an overpriced tourist trap with mediocre food and service, I'll pass.

The place looks great, and has a nice location, but it was high priced. The food and drinks lacked in presentation, and as I said, s-l-o-w service.
I haven't been there in about a year.

I saw a couple glowing "reviews" in the Best of Folsom poll, but after looking again I noticed they were all from new or unregistered users. It looked a little suspicious like an informercial from people with connections to the restaurant.

We liked Cuevitas much better. The food was a bit better, and the service was genuinely super-friendly. But, you just can't tell from one experience. If your waiter or waitress is having a good/bad day, that can make such a large difference, even though they're only one element in the mix.
While I'm at it, I'll put in a plug for China House. We've been to the people's favorite, Jennie's Palace, a few times. The food was good, and the service efficient, but we found it more expensive, and not as much to our liking as China House. China House has some really inexpensive lunch specials, but even the regular menu items are very reasonably priced, with huge servings. We love veggies, and China House delivers them fresh & plentiful.
Lastly, if anyone hasn't tried Indian food, you should give it a try. We love it, and were so happy when we moved here to discover there are 2 Indian restaurants in Folsom. If you're adventurous, try the lunch buffet. You can get small quantities of everything, so you can see what you like and what you don't. The flavors are so different from any other cuisine, it's great. If you like spicy (hot) food, try Priya's buffet, it's generally spicier than Taj India's. (And, obviously, if you don't like spicy food, head to Taj India's buffet.)

As for China House, it was one of our favorites until we saw its health department report (yuck). The link to that report is posted elsewhere on this website.

Cliffhouse has the same owners as Sheepherder's and Carver's along with the same price range. We've always found the food to be pretty good. It has a great view and they do make good drinks at the bar. Desserts are excellent also. As for China House, it was one of our favorites until we saw its health department report (yuck). The link to that report is posted elsewhere on this website. |
Wow I am surprise to hear that about China House - the health department report. I tried almost all Chinese restaurants in Folsom and I rated China House the best.
