Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Elk Grove

Honest review: Our reservation was at 7:15 PM on Saturday night, but we ended up waiting 45 minutes to be seated, even though the estimated wait time for walk-ins was 1 hour. During our wait, one other reservation was seated before us, along with a walk-in guest. I later learned from our waiter that the host had specifically assigned us to him, even though he was already tending to a table of 15. On a positive note, the drinks were amazing—the lemon drop and smoked old-fashioned were both a solid 10/10. The NY steak and Ribeye were generous portions and flavorful; however, we ordered them medium, and both came out medium-rare. The atmosphere is visually appealing, with a clean and stylish design. The color and texture of the seating, walls, and views are thoughtfully done. However, the temperature difference between the two sides of the room is noticeable—one half feels warm and inviting, while the side with the brick walls and roll-up doors feels colder. It’s a bit inconsistent but not a dealbreaker. The bar itself is stunning, and the bartender was attentive and professional, rounding out the experience nicely. That said, I’ve read that others have faced similar issues with reservations, which seems to be a recurring concern. I highly recommend the restaurant address this and streamline the reservation and seating process to enhance the overall guest experience.

Excellent service and amazing staff! We loved everyone whom we encountered, they made our bday dinner so much more special today! We truly enjoyed our time at Chevy’s and the food was absolutely delicious. We will return again soon in the future!

Great experience overall. Initial service was a little slow, but food was amazing and seating was as expected.
