    Dry Creek Grill is such a nice place with great food. Their BBQ ribs are delicious as is all their other food. Service was great and we had a very nice caesar salad. The chocolate cookie desert was delicious. This place is one of our favorite places for dinner

    First time visit to Dry Creek Grill and have to say, we were very impressed. The service was good and what we are used to when going to a nice restaurant. We will be going back to try other menu items that seem to be yummy!

    Four of us went out to dinner while visiting the area for a 49ers game. The ambience was nice but a little bit loud. That was not bothersome at all. There was the feel of a nice restaurant yet. It was also casual and there were some sports TVs up in the bar area. This may help it appeal to many people. Our food was amazing! The service was good although a little bit slow when it came to getting our order taken, the server did great at keeping my husbands Diet Coke refilled, which is a huge plus as he can go through them quite quick. We would definitely visit again.

    Service was poor. Food was great. Location is grast.very easy, the thing that made our night was the Company - which was excellent! 6 women, it made for a wonderful evening, a real shame the service wasn't up to scratch & what is going on with the ceiling, it is tapped up with plastic bags/ and has been like this for sometime. Our table wasn't great, a booth style, all sitting in a line. We dined here over a year ago and would have thought the ceiling wouldn't look like that

    We’ve been for 3 or 4 times and every evening has been wonderful. Staff are attentive, drinks are good and the food is always tasty. Some folks think the environment is a tad dark but I always enjoy it. Whether it’s a birthday, anniversary or just a dinner with friends, rest assured you will enjoy your meal here; Its definitely worth the money.

    The dining experience made for a very relax full and pleasant dinner. From the moment we were seated we were greeted with a very nice smile from our attentive server. From there our order was taken and all the while we were being taken care of very well. Once our order was received we again were checked up to insure that all was well but at the same time we were left to enjoy our meals and wine comfortably. Our meals were well made and well enjoyed along with the wine which made it a winning combo. We look forward to our next dinner at Dry Creek Grill.

    Everything was great! We love the service the food and drinks. The issue was there was a big party of drunk people and they didn’t know how to control their noise. We know this is not the restaurants fault but I was hoping someone would tell them to keep it down.

    Dry Creek is a local favorite that feels like a well-kept secret among those in the know. With its charming ambiance and warm, inviting atmosphere, it’s the perfect spot for a special night out or an indulgent meal. The service is impressively fast, and there’s always seating available, making it a stress-free experience. The food? Phenomenal. The dishes come out quickly without sacrificing quality, and the cornbread is an absolute standout—moist, flavorful, and a must-try. It’s our secret fancy go-to, and it never disappoints!
