Putah Creek Cafe

This was our first time visiting this place. Honestly, we were winging it. We originally were going to Buckhorn across the street, but sadly, we didn't get there in time and we would have had to wait 3 hours for a table. So we discovered this place. It's a cute little restaurant and we only had to wait like 10 minutes for a table. We also were offered water and menus as we waiting. Very accommodating! Our waitress went above and beyond. I feel so bad because we cannot remember her name, but she was the BEST of the best. She knows her stuff!! Not only did she give us some history on the restaurant, but she also let us know that Buckhorn and this place have the same owner. I never knew that! She was warm and inviting. Held conversations with us. Made sure we had refills on our drinks and waters every time she came to the table. She also took our orders WITHOUT WRITING IT DOWN. When our food arrived, it was totally accurate too! Super impressive and she needs a raise for sure! She seriously gave us the best first impression of coming here. She also was very descriptive about the house bread and to dip in the butter then the oil. OMG it was absolutely amazing. Wish I could have taken some home, but we ate it all haha!! The only downfall was my daughter ordered the fried chicken with mashed potatoes and a side of grilled vegetables. She sadly got food poisoning (partially her fault because she didn't tell me the chicken was still a bit pink). She was sick all night. Other than that, and there was a waitress or hostess that had red hair (unsure of her name) but when she went to collect payment, she was awfully rude and gave dirty looks. That was a little off-putting. However, despite all that, whoever our main waitress was, she's absolutely amazing. What we do recommend here is the house bread, the grilled Brussel sprouts with pistachios (to die for) and the brisket burgers (Cafe and the Cali burger). Definitely a pleasant evening because of our waitress. Even though there were some downfalls, we do recommend this place. It's great.

I have heard so many great things about this place. My wife, son and I decided to get a bite to eat after church. We drive into the town of Winters, which is one of my favorite cities to visit. When we checked in the wait wasn’t to long, we were sat down in 20 min. I have to give props to the hostesses they put up with no nonsense. I ordered the scramble which came with potatoes, overall it was ok, lacked seasoning and potatoes were eh! I which the plate was served with tortillas. My wife orders the beat salad, she enjoyed it. My son ordered the chicken fried steak he said it was ok, he did say he liked the biscuits with gravy . Overall this place was ok, I might come back and try the pizza.

The drinks and the food arrived quickly. Customer service was amazing waiters checked in on my table constantly. Communicated any time is what needed and kept us updated. The food was so delicious. One thing that will keep me going will me the pastries and the coffees.

Awesome restaurant in downtown Winters! My husband and I came for a date on a Saturday night when it was pretty busy, but we were seated immediately outside! The atmosphere was great especially with the live music coming from the brewery down the street. Our server was attentive given how busy it was. We got the Patty Melt and the Cali Burger. The beef was sooooo juicy and both sandwiches were loaded with flavor. Their fries are the perfect cut and fried to perfection! We will definitely be back!

Very nice breakfast spot. The small town of Winters is a destination worth going to see of it's own. We sat outdoors and the weather was perfect. The menu is short and basic I had a very tasty chicken fried steak and the wife's carnitas plate was probably one of the best I ever tasted. It had carnitas, black beans cheese on corn tortillas topped with eggs and avocado, the seasonings were amazing I definitely recommend it. They have good pastries aa well.
