Editorial Review for Sutter's Mill and Mining Co. – by Carol Kaelin

The Scene
Sutter's was a premier college bar back when 18-year-olds could drink alcohol, and that atmosphere has survived. The front room is more staid than in those days, but Lottery cards are available tableside, so customers can play while they wait. The front dining area is self-service. For those seeking family fare, there's a bright dining room in the rear overlooking the summer-dining deck. Service is prompt and courteous.

The Food
Big, juicy burgers are the favorite. Build a steerburger with cheese, onions, Canadian bacon--you name it. The wings are outstanding, but vegetarians can find something tasty, too. At lunch, nibble on side dishes while waiting for your burger; rotating choices include chili and hot potato salad, but coleslaw and pickles are always available. Check the dinner-special menu for surprise entrees like sauerbraten.

LOL reading these reviews. What people reading the reviews fail to understand, is that Sutter's is where you go at 3AM after many, many beers. A greasy cheddar-mushroom burger gets an entirely different rating when you're in that state of mind. Of course I graduated 20 years ago, but it was the same back then.

Ok, well I was sitting here trying to decide where to go for dinner tonight. And I thought I wanted one of my old time favorites. A Sutters Burger! But then I remembered, I was there in the summer, on the deck, and was very shocked when our order came, and the entire 45.00 bill was a total let down. I mean what has happened to this place? My burger was so dried out, I could barely bite into it, and the wings where soggy, not crisp at all. Along with potato skins, and they were hosting some event for the state workers, the staff, well they to were very rude, not helpful at all. Please bring back the old Sutters!! What happened to the old cooks, and the staff that cared?? Is it just to much to ask for an old memory?

Pros: none

Cons: just plain nasty over all..
