We had the spicy wings. They were actually spicy! So many places don't know how to make spicy things that are spicy. But these were good. They were tasty, and not too spicy. Son and I had the spicy burger, with pepperjack cheese and jalapenos. It was good, but a few too many jalapenos for me. Not that it was... More

Went here based on the yelp reviews and was not disappointed. It is a pub, and we were totally in the mood for some good food and chill place. Bartender was our waiter. Had a few beers and went for the prime rib sandwich and tri tip sandwich. The wings looked great and i heard about some turkey special that... More

My husband wanted to eat here based solely on the number of cars in the parking lot each time we drove by. The inside is dark, people have written on the walls and the bar stools are so old and worn that they are taped together. There is an old pool table in constant use and a blaring TV. Not... More

We were intentionally looking for a casual place to eat near where we were staying (Farmhouse Inn in Forestville, CA), especially because we had indulged in a gourmet meal at the Farmhouse restaurant the previous night. After a quick google and finding out that this place was featured on "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives" Food Network tv show, we were sold.... More

If you are heading to the Korbel winery and looking for somewhere to eat lunch don't discount this little gem on the side of the road about 1/2 mile east of the winery.\ Whilst the exterior may not be too attractive and may give you the feeling that this is the local watering hole for red-necks and bikers, nothing could...

Although the Russian River pub is a bit divey, the food is good and the food and drinks are reasonably priced. We actually started and ended our trip here. Stopping the first night as we were just passing by (and having a great turkey sandwich special); and returning our last night because we were looking for someplace that was casual... More

We ate at the Russian River Pub because they promised to have one of their televisions tuned to the Nebraska v. Wisconsin football game. It is a bar and restaurant and has really good food. I had clam chowder for maybe the fourth or fifth time since we traveled to spot in northern California. It was the best I have... More

The wings were excellent and made this worth the visit for sure. The service started out friendly enough but slightly uncomfortable with our server giving us way too much of her personal information. We got our food quickly and it was great but then we had to wait forever to get the bill which didn't end up arriving until my... More
