I was not happy to pay $50 including tip for four pieces of fried chicken with two sides. The chicken was good; it wasn't great. The Mac and cheese was watery. There was a 5% uncharge on the bill for "living wage".; my question is: You can't pay your employees a living wage charging $35 for a four piece meal? And if you are truly paying them a living wage (and charging me 5% to do so) am I still obligated to tip them 20%? I would have been happier with a mandatory 17% gratuity if I knew for sure it was going directly to the people who served me.

We didn’t have a reservation and walked in around 5pm, and sat at the counter. We ordered a couple of appetizers and drinks. Everything was great. We will be back for a proper dinner for sure.

I just had brunch at Easy Rider in Petaluma, and had an amazing brunch!!! Not only was our brunch, delicious, I had the fried chicken and waffle dish, but our server, whose name was Benjamin, was outstanding. What a pleasant fellow, and an excellent accommodating server. What an overall pleasant dining experience!

It was brunch . The space was tight. I had the chicken and soggy waffle. The hush puppies were ok. The burgers were good. Staff seemed gushingly friendly but weaved from table to table and therefore were not directly accountable for things like coffee/water refills ect..

Finally got the chance to dine at this soul food spot, and let me tell you, it was everything I hoped for and more! The food? Absolutely delicious. I'm talking about fried chicken seasoned to perfection—like, WOW! Never in my life have I had fried chicken with such a kick of flavor. It's a game changer, folks.Service? Think fine dining vibes, especially on a Friday. They've got it down to an art, making you feel taken care of in the best possible way. And let's talk about the cocktails because they are bomb. Seriously, they've got the kind of drinks that make you want to savor every sip.If you're looking for an experience that combines amazing food with top-notch service and killer cocktails, this is the place. The fried chicken alone is worth the visit, but honestly, everything about this soul food restaurant is on point. Highly recommend!

GREAT EXPERIENCE ALL AROUND.My wife and I had dinner at Easy Rider on February 17th as we decided to wait until the weekend to celebrate Valentine's Day.Our server, David, did a great job and managed to balance fun and professionalism perfectly.Dinner was exceptional starting with the Cauliflower appetizer. Even though it was battered the chef managed to keep the prefect texture on the inside with just the right amount of firmness. We enjoyed the salad right before moving to the main course.I had the braised short rib which was outstanding. My wife went with Gnocchi and I was able to try some of hers as well. I am huge gnocchi fan and they did not disappoint.For dessert I had the ricotta doughnuts. Great finish to a great meal.Kelly, the GM was very kind and the Chef stopped by to say hello. I saw him engaged with all the tables which is always a nice touch when the Chef can interact with the customers.

We decided to check out Happy Hour and so glad we did. David, our server was excellent. We ordered the brussel sprouts (from the regular menu) which are crazy good. The sliders were off the charts and the fries... So so
Best fries hands down!!! Super nice people always so welcoming and

Fantastic food. The hush puppies are a great way to start, and the fried chicken and the steak are fabulous. Portions are large. Really top quality all around.

Huge shout out to the team for not just great food & drinks but being so toddler family friendly. Our server was so strategic. He gave us a booth (which is gold with a toddler) and put in the Mac n cheese order for our little dude before our drinks. This allowed us to have kiddo entertained with the food while my husband and I could cheers and discuss the menu. The food runner brought an extra bowl so our 2 year old wouldn't burn his little hands on the fresh from the oven ramekin. The GM went for a high five with our son on the way out and he literally hugged her unprompted.This isn't the first time they've crushed it for us, so it's not a fluke and definitely needs to be shared on this page.If you have family members with littles visiting this holiday season, a 5:30 pm weekday at Easy Rider should be on your list.- Signed, a local mama that doesn't work there etc.

Truly terrible duck dish. Sauce so sweet I could not taste the meat. I would have sent it back if I was willing to bring down the high spirits of my 7-person party (I was not).
