Washoe House

Maddie at the bar is super helpful and talented! The jalapeño lime vodka (local product) with house Bloody Mary mix is delicious! I usually don't order two but did this time!

Delicious food with very large portions. The steak sandwich is absolutely fantastic. The atmosphere is rustic but I love it! Can't wait to go back.

Well, I have to give them a four out of five as were a party of twelve and all enjoyed our meal except me. I seem to pick something that is a little off when we go there as a group. This time my lamb burger was overdone! Last tie the stew didn't satisfy. Everyone else enjoyed their dinners and we had a good time! The fish and chips were very popular and the pork medallion special was a hit with those that had it! It is noisy but what do you expect from an old wooden building? It appears they have lots of regular patrons. Oh, if I had had a little alcohol it may have been more fun but I was driving and it was raining. No alcohol for me.

I want to start saying that this place is AUTHENTIC! From the service of the bartenders, servers and people in the kitchen to the food and drinks. Let me start with the food, I have had breakfast, lunch and dinner at this place, and let me tell you that I have never been disappointed. They use local ingredients and everything is made from scratch! The first bite is always so full of flavor, no matter what plate you have ordered. I had breakfast with my team here on a weekday, they are open at 8:00 and it was very calm, different than the afternoons. One of my coworkers ordered the chicken and waffles, and they were full of flavor. The chicken was very well seasoned, I loved that they have a disclosure on the menu that this particular plate will take about 18 minutes to cook. That made it all that much special and exciting to have. I had just a regular plate of eggs, sausage and French toast. The sausages had a taste, an actual taste that I have not had anywhere else. One of the things I noticed is that they use a lot of local ingredients, that made feel very good and reinstated that this is an Sonoma County original. I have also been here for happy hour, and it truly is happy hour. They have country music playing in the background and people are playing dice games, talking and just having a good time. Even if you are by yourself you will not be bored, for you may get lost in a sea of bills attached to the ceiling. This is by all means a place to visit when in Petaluma/cotati area. Also the place is over 100 years old, it has so much history in its walls.

A fun stop for a quick drink. The bartender is so sweet! Never actually gotten food here but it's a vibe here!

This very cute old school bar and restaurant pays homage to old Sonoma county. The restaurant has plenty of parking in their lot. They have a great lunch and dinner menu with great values. The huge cowboy cut of prime rib was fantastic and very satisfying. Their New York strip was also grilled and delicious. All entrees come with sides and salad/soup. Their cocktail drinks were well made and mixed. The bartender was very hardworking and friendly. When crowded wait times could be a little long but we loved this little place. Try it out.

Boy, this is a step back in time at this place. But reasonable pricing and lots to choose from. I had two fashions not too bad, but didn't use the right cherries. My husband had two IPAs. I had the potato skins appetizer cause I didn't want to eat too much and boy it was a lot so I have leftovers. My husband had a hamburger With pepper, jack cheese his favorite. Also came with a house salad. If you use the credit card, there's a 3% surcharge. Wish they would've told us. Our server was Roberto. He was OK.

How on earth have I been Yelping for this long without doing a review of the legendary Washoe House? This is long overdue. I'm sickened that this place's average rating isn't so great. However we all know that snooty wine snobs run amok out here ruining everything just so they can look at some eyesore vineyrds. My wife and I started off with the fried cheese curds. I was expecting something similar to mozzarella sticks but holy crap we got something way better. Also, there was a lot of it. This appetizer alone is a good reason to come here. I ordered the ribeye steak and opted for the bacon potato soup. It was a good soup, surprisingly filling for it's size. The waitress was attentive, there are many reviews complaining about the service. This was not our experience. I wasn't expecting drink refills but they were offered. The ribeye steak was great, they know what medium rare is. In many restaurants it's a gamble when you order a steak, this place nailed it. The steak was also very tender and tasted amazing. I opted for french fries and ordered them well done and wasn't disappointed. The steamed veggies were what I would expect steamed veggies to be. I quickly realized that I was running out of real estate in my stomach however and decided they were a low priority. I went home stuffed with food still on my plate. This isn't a place for fancy snobbish types and that's a good thing. Those people can go to Napa for that if they really want it that way. This is a place for regular working class people and that is part of what makes this place so great.
