“This is a great place to go get a good burger and hang out. It's a very relaxed place, even when the downtown is bussing with people. The service is great, even when they're busy. My husband and I didn't feel well after ordering their Brussels sprout appetizer, despite it being delicious, but everything else I have had there, be it salads, burgers, or tacos, have been superb. I have never ordered anything there that I didn't like! I highly recommend their mushroom burger, and the tater tots are the best I have ever had!“

“My new favorite restaurant!!The staff was amazing, the ambiance was great, and the food was delicious. We had the pleasure of meeting Mike the owner and he shared Riley’s story with us. It brought tears to our eyes and the love for Labs and all dogs is very heartfelt. I loved all the pictures of happy dogs around the restaurant and to find out the staff was asking to bring in pictures of their dogs to help decorate the walls just melted my heart. Their #1 Core Value is … Team Members First - Happy Team Members = Happy Guest. That’s the best thing I’ve read in a while - more business need to be onboard with that. Check out Riley’s you won’t be sorry!! ♥️“

The bomb! And not too much cheese overload either. For those of us who love cheese but can't have too much of it. Love that crust.“

“THAT DAM PLACE is a fantastic Cafe. Small but impressive. Starting with the waitress, Creta, sorry about the spelling, a most impressive personality. She related her experiences and the history of the Cafe. In discussing the history, I found that an old friend of mine was a partner of the Cafe. We had fun reminiscing and catching up with our current life. Knowing her love of Folsom and its history, I am positive that she will relate the good, bad and probably the ugly. Getting to the Cafe, I ordered the Cali King. Grilled chicken breast with mayo, lettuce, tomato, avocado, bacon & pepper jack cheese on a brioche bun. I choose side tossed salad, which was delicious. My friend tried the Bob Dole Burgah. Grilled 6oz burger with mayo, lettuce, tomato and Korean BBQ glazed pineapple slices on a brioche bun. She also got a side of Sweet Potato Fries. Everything was so delicious and so well cooked.Sorry, sometimes I forget pictures because of hunger. Next time and there will definitely be a next time.A fantastic combination of food and friendship.“

“Land Ocean is a nice date night, special occasion, or just looking for a good plate for brunch, lunch, or dinner. It gets busy in the evenings, especially on weekends. If you're looking for a nice date night or special day a reservation is recommended. We usually get the land ocean with king crab legs (they crack them for you, which is a plus), the calamari is okay (not as breaded and crisp as I'd like), the large side salad is a good split plate option, and the burgers for lunch are delicious, the brunch veggie skillet is delicious, and it is children friendly here.“

“Food was so good! Pasta was cooked perfectly, sandwiches were crisp and delicious, sides were awesome! We loved the neighborhood kitchen feel. Only thing is if you're in a rush for food this is not the place to go, the restaurant wasn't very busy when we went and we did end up waiting about 30ish minutes after we ordered before food was on the table and our server kind of disappeared after that for a solid 20 minutes when we had to get going. Overall though good experience, will be back when we aren't on the way to an event :)“
