Sam's Social Club

The Real Deal is Sam’s Social Club which delivers on a great indoor and outdoor experience and some solid breakfast items. Let’s start it off with the service, we got seat immediately on a Saturday morning, quickly asked about drinks, and then asked for the order. Servers were good but never really asked about the food. Now onto the atmosphere that delivers an amazing dining area with bar area, with a pop up tent outdoor seating with heaters and fire pit area. There is a little bit of every experience for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Now onto the Main Event what you all came here to see: The Food! Let’s begin with the Avocado Toast which had a huge portion that could not eat without pulling it apart, the favors were lacking on every level 5/10. The Overnight Oaks was really good and delivers with favors and really fresh ingredients 9.5/10. The Hobb’s Applewood Smoke bacon was crispy, savory flavors so so good 9/10. Overall pretty good breakfast place definitely give it a try….cheers!

Make sure to get the banana bread! It’s a must try. We recently had banana bread in Hawaii and its seriously is better. Food portions were big and breakfast was delicious. My 3 year old wanted pizza for breakfast (of course) and it came with tots and fruit. We will definitely be back!

Came for brunch before wine tasting. Warm banana bread was a great started. Of the entrees, I liked the egg in a hole best. Parmesan crust and truffle sauce were delicious. Benedict was standard.

We had a phenomenal time here, and we’ll definitely be paying them another visit on our next trip to Napa! We split the Sam’s Cheeseburger and can safely say this was the best burger we’ve ever had!! This burger had fantastic flavor, was cooked to perfection and it melted with each bite! The Philly Cheesesteak Hash was delicious and we believe this was a special during our visit. In addition, we order the Candy Cap Churros for dessert, which was also a standout here! On top of all that is their amazing staff, we were very impressed with the overall service! We highly recommend coming up to Calistoga and trying Sam’s Social Club, you won’t be disappointed! Visited Sam’s Social Club at the end of 2024.

The hotel we stayed overnight after our Napa wine tastings doesn’t have restaurants on site. We went to Sam’s Social Club which was 10 -15 minutes walk from our hotel , based on our hotel concierge’s recommendation. 5 stars is a combination of food quality and customer service. We were a party of four adults and we enjoyed our dishes for their portions and tastes.

This is a relaxed wine country restaurant on the property of Indian Springs resort. They have an interesting and diverse menu that has something for most diets and palates. We enjoyed a late lunch and birthday cocktails. The cobb salad and drinks were amazing. The outdoor patio is beautiful but it was a bit warm when we arrived so we opted for inside seating.

We fell in dang love with this spot. The drinks were a m a z i n g (pisco sour and guy's getaway in particular), and the dishes we had were above and beyond. ABOVE and beyond. They killed the cheese board—absolutely flawless—and the octopus and the panzanella with burrata were noteworthy as heck. My husband is still talking about the octopus, and I don't think he's gonna stop anytime soon. Freaking bravo, man. We were so satisfied eating here.

Here is a wonderful restaurant in a historic location- Indian Springs. The beautiful dining room and Alfresco options add to the experience at the top of the valley.

Sept 27 2025 I met John & the "TON" for an appetizer before the pot luck dinner at the Calistoga Spa with the annual Graham-Jones group. We shared a great caesar salad , shrimp ceviche ( Even John ate some!) and he loved his shrimp cocktail. After that I had the grilled octopus that was stupendus! & apologies to all you sentient cephlopoda but as the great Swami Procrastananda intoned. "So, if you are what you eat, eat something smarter ..." John's pork chop (tasted a bite) was also fantastic the sous vide made it so succulent! & Clifton lamb shank was quite good if not stellar.... 3-4 of 5. All the rest were 5's. I was duly impressed...will return & our locally raised gentleman server was top notch ( forgot his name sorry)

We came here the other day for breakfast. We both got the egg combo platter, and I will say I enjoyed the chicken sausages more than I have at other places. We also got banana bread for the table and it was very good - no nuts, just plain banana bread and a nice whipped butter to go with it. The outside patio looks very nice but sadly we had to take the food to go: they do NOT accept dogs on their outside patio. I wanted to emphasize that as several older reviews have gotten that wrong. It's too bad as otherwise it looks very nice and inviting.

Second time here. Our waitress, Samantha, was on top of it. Checked on us often. Very sweet and friendly. Outdoor seating is the best. Food was okay. Ordered ribeye and the hamburger. Flatbread for appetizer.

Me and a group of friends came here for a dinner reservation after a long day of wine tasting on a Saturday. The restaurant was nice enough to seat us early to enjoy appetizers and cocktails until dinner service started. We got the Cheese Board, Ricotta Crostini, and Baba Ghanoush. I did like that there was a variety of entrees with a wide range of prices. Everyone in our party found something they could enjoy. The special for the day was a Squid Ink Pasta (~$40) and Prime Rib Dinner ($65). The Prime Rib came with Potato Croquettes and 1/2 Steamed Artichoke. Worth the price! The one downside is that the restaurant is attached to the Indian Spring Resort, so there were a lot of families with children coming for dinner. Not the vibe I was looking for.

5 STARS! This place is a hidden gem! I am already plotting on coming back. The food was amazing, everything taste super fresh and clean and like love was put into it. The staff was super super friendly and helpful! The ambience is nice and serine. It's attached to a resort but it's open to the public. This is a good day for a Mother's Day brunch or to celebrate. The drinks were ON POINT and the bread and butter they serve is perfection. You can tell the butter is freshly churned and well as the bread is baked with love! I will be back soon! What we ordered: Chicken sandwich 9/10 Burger (added fried egg) 8.5/10 Marg. Pizza 6.5/10 Lavender 75 (made alcoholic) 10/10 Espresso martini 10/10 the cream top makes the whole drink! Mimosas 9/10 - the cava they use is amazing :)

Yummm this was so good. We got everything. I loved the churros and the banana bread, but especially the churros. Some of the best I've ever had. The menu is sprawling and they really do have so many things that are unique. I got the breakfast pizza because I'd never had something like it before. It was so good, and also weirdly light given its cheese, egg and bacon. I ate pretty much all of it. I also got a latte, very good. The server also brought out their house made hot sauce and ketchup. Watch out - that sauce is HOT, but really flavorful! I put a little on my pizza and egg and my mouth was on fire. We sat outside with some heat lamps, but the inside is lovely too!

This is not my first dinner at Sam's & won't be my last - it's amazing every time. We stopped in for a quick dinner while in Calistoga on a hot evening but the outside seating area is shady and has a nice breeze which made it really nice for patio dining. I ordered the salmon which is my favorite. I've lived in San Diego the past 10 years near the ocean and Sam's salmon is by far my favorite of all time. Crispy on top but soft & buttery in the middle. The summer vegetable mix it came with was tasty light & refreshing. My partner ordered the burger & said it was very flavorful and a good size as well. It came with fries - I stole a few and can confirm they were very good. We always end with the churros. So yummy & they give you a lot, we almost couldn't finish them but they taste so good we basically ended up inhaling them. As always, the staff is wonderful, super friendly and professional. I love ending a day in wine country at Sam's. Will be back again

I love this spot, great place for a relaxing dinner after a day at the spa or in wine country. The food and service are always delicious. Like they never miss on any dish.

We liked dinner so much we came back for breakfast! Party of 8 travelers who ate a variety of dishes and everyone was happy and wanted to come back the next day. Service was attentive but not too much. Nice variety for both meals. Don't miss the churros. A couple of people in our group weren't excited about them, and became converts after one bite. We even had them with breakfast because we loved them so much. We will be back and sit on the patio next time.

Came her for lunch on Tuesday for my friend's birthday. We had the aperol Spritzes, Baba Ghanoush, Burrata & Stone Fruit Panzanella, and Margherita pizza to share. Food was delicious on a hot day. We sat out on the patio, we should have sat inside because it got extremely hot really fast. They turned on the misters to cool down the patio which helped a lot. Food and drinks came out quickly. Staff was attentive.

I had an excellent meal here. We have eaten here about 3 times before and the meal this time was my favorite. I got the set menu for restaurant week. The salad was fresh and the flavors completed each other (bitter purple lettuce contrasted with the slightly sweet beets, creamy goat cheese, sweet orange and salty walnuts). My favorite was the agnolotti. The sauce was a little sweet (creamy tomato) and a little savory. The fresh made ricotta inside was delicate and paired wonderfully with the delicate fresh made pasta (which was nicely Al dente). The chocolate creme brûlée was rich but not too sweet and contrasted well with the raspberries. My partner got the fried Brussel sprouts for appetizer and they came out very hot and delicious. The bread was also fresh and hot. Our server Emma was friendly and hardworking and kept us up to date because our meals got caught behind a large tables order. She was great.

I think there is something really special about the Chefs in Calistoga. The food in this town just didn't disappoint! Sam's was another hit during our holiday stay. We came for breakfast and enjoyed so many different items. We wanted to try it all! We had an omelette, egg in the hole, banana bread, and the pork belly. I highly suggest the egg in the hole! The bread is soft and flavorful. The potatoes were super yummy too! The service can be a little slow but we weren't in a hurry, so no complaints.

Late night sat in the comfortable bar and had some great snacks with my wife. The bartender was very tentative to our needs and we will be back soon!

Egg In The Hole -- truffle deliciousness! The cheese on the bread complements the flavors of the truffle, potatoes and yolk. The bread was fluffy, the potatoes were salted nicely. Butterscotch Pot De Creme -- tasted like cheesecake / creme fraiche. It was delicious and smooth. Delicious food! Very cozy atmosphere, was seated outside and they turned on the heaters for us.

One of our long time favorite spot in Calistoga, we of course had to stop by for dinner during our weekend visit. It has been a couple years since our last visit but the place was just as how we remembered - friendly servers, excellent drinks, wonderful food, and a beautiful outdoor dining area. For appetizer we had grilled octopus, and for entree we had the pasta of the day, homemade pasta with lamb ragu, and the prime rib. Both were very yummy! For dessert we could not pass up the churro! It was among the best we ever had! If you visit Calistoga, be sure to stop by here, you won't be disappointed!

My wife and I dined at Sam's on our Anniversary trip to Calistoga. It's located at Indian Springs Resort which we had stayed at before, but weren't staying there on this trip. We come to Calistoga a few times a year, and we hadn't tried this place. I had been wanting to try it out primarily to try their Prime Rib. We had good service which is always a huge plus. I'm not an overly difficult critic, but the food just fell flat for me here especially The Prime Rib. Appetizers we ordered were decent. We had the Prawn Cocktail and Artichoke. My wife enjoyed her Salmon. The Prime Rib just wasn't very good, and it was priced at around $60. On the menu online it says Market Price. It lacked flavor and I wasn't impressed by the sides. If I had gotten that Prime Rib at a chain Steakhouse, I might have a slightly different take. But for a higher end restaurant in Calistoga it just didn't get the job done. They have indoor and outdoor seating available. We sat indoors, but the outdoor set-up looked really nice. We enjoyed our drinks. Decent beer selection. My wife like her Espresso Martini. My wife has Celiac Disease and our waiter was very knowledgeable about what was safe for her to eat, so props for that. I'd probably give this place another shot, but I'd order something different.

Food is excellent, but the rest is soooo pretentious!! Made reservations for lunch over the phone which felt like a big deal to get a table during the week for lunch. 1st offer was 4 minutes after current time which seemed a bit of a joke. Especially as I had ask for 1 hour later. The second choice was 1.15 as 1pm seemed fully booked. When we arrived the table wasn't set and we were asked to sit and wait. Mind you there were less than a total of 12 guests in the entire restaurant. Again food was and usually is excellent but the rest is a joke.

Lovely experience fantastic fresh food great service and beautiful patio. We had a wonderful time at dinner and went back for lunch. Food is farm to table fresh. Great experience highly recommended thank you

We visited this place while staying at the Indian Springs resort, and it was 10/10. The food is delicious, service is great, and the ambiance is very clean and modern. It's a great place to relax, enjoy great food, and relax. The burrata salad is not too heavy, and the olives and bread are amazing. Everything tastes sos fresh. The agua caliente cocktail tastes so good, going to have to try replicating it at home. We ended up returning to try the breakfast menu, which was just as great!

Surprisingly really enjoyed the food here! The staff were friendly and welcoming, we were celebrating our anniversary and they offered us free champagne. The food came pretty fast and was surprisingly really delicious- I really enjoyed the octopus and the fries. My only complaint is that the steak portion was very very small- it was also a little burnt. The environment itself is very cute- love the lights and the outdoor seating ideas!

Met up for brunch out here. Unfortunately our timing was a little off and we missed brunch and it was just lunch. Our server did us a solid and got us the banana bread it was a little scorched on the top but still delicious. One of a kind. I started with the pork belly. I don't know what I expected but it was kind of like burnt ends. Yummy glaze. Very tasty but small portion and some inconsistent texture. I got the burger with the bacon and egg. Very expensive combo but I don't have regrets. Here's the problem. Maybe I don't know how to eat a burger but I'm a cut in half or even quarters kind of guy. So I waited for a knife and waited... and waited. Then my knife came. Unfortunately by the time it arrived my bottom bun was inedibly soggy. Good news it's a magnificent burger. You can tell the meat was ground fresh from good cuts. Very tender, good flavor. Possibly one of the best I've had. So I was a little annoyed about the knife thing. Coulda been. Coulda coulda.

I came here for dinner with a group of friends. We sat outside in their patio which was nice and relaxing. The food and service were excellent along with their prices. This place is very popular and I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Came here for dinner on. Saturday night. Beautiful setting. I had an outdoor reservation but it was boiling outside. They were able to find me a table inside sparing my life. I ordered their special crab cake, their weekend secret prime rib and finished with a chocolate cake. Crab cake was beautiful. Filled with crabs and crispy on the outside. Flavor was on point. The arugula salad compliments the crab cake and cut the grease. The Pinot was great and I got a bottle right after. The prime rib was sooo good. Totally worth the wait and the $$$$. Asparagus was nicely grilled and the side potatoes are buttery and delicious. The chocolate cake was okay. But the coffee gelato was so nice!! The service was solid throughout. I could barely breathe after the meal but was happy. Would come back for

Spent a weekend in Calistoga. Did an open door booking for Sam's social and when I checked in my hotel down the street they also recommend eating here. I ended up having a delicious Caesar salad which my kids really enjoyed. I also ordered the appetizer bread which the kids also enjoyed. I didn't realize my dish already had side but ended up ordering mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus. I was lucky to get the prime rib for the weekend. I really enjoyed it. My waiter was very friendly and attentive. It did pick up and a lot of families and families with kids also ate here. We had a wonderful time and also enjoyed the selection of desserts that they had provided.

Brunch reservation on a Sunday. It was great weather on the patio with a heat lamp. Ordered the 2 egg breakfast plate and offers alottt of egg. My bf got egg in the hole and it is rich in cheese and buttery bread. It was very delicious and i enjoyed the sauces. Service was great too! Would recommend.

I enjoyed my stuffed poblano pepper dish (vegan) well enough. The friends I was with only thought their meals were just okay though. The service was a bit slow. We were there closer to closing. When we first arrived, they were pretty busy. We sat out in the patio area with the heaters on and I found it comfortable. All in all, I would go back if I was tagging along with others, otherwise I would try a new place.

This place was delicious! Super cute inside and even more adorable outside. Our server Dylan was awesome! The banana bread was so delicious! The sugar crust and vanilla bean mascarpone, over the top!! The egg in a hole was great! Parmesan crusted brioche with the mushroom truffle base paired with the lemon arugla salad, genius!!! Best two things I ate while in Calistoga. The sourdough waffle was okay

My friend's choice for her birthday dinner. We sat outside and what a delight! Well, I'll just cut to it right away...My good friend ordered a burger and I asked if I could have just a bite. NO was her answer. She relented and then after I had my bite, I understood...This burger had to be among the most delicious EVER. I've eaten plenty of amazing burgers over my many years. But, this one....Oh, my!!! And the fries were perfection. I went with a most delicious summer stone fruit salad. So happy!!! Lovely setting and servers.

Went here for Mother's Day brunch and the food was friggin phenomenal! The service and the restaurant itself were also spectacular. If I was in the area again I would definitely stop by. It's definitely pricey but I feel like for the location as well as the type of restaurant it is makes sense. I would recommend coming here though overall!

Super cool ambiance in the charming City of Calistoga. Located in the grounds of Indian Springs-pure delight all around. Bar and bar mixology masters are spot on with their skills and drinks. Dining room is light filled and offers a variety of seating arrangements. We enjoyed the pear salad-light layered flavors and abundant to share. I had the chicken which was juicy and flavorful with each delectable bite. The prime rib special was huge and my husband was thrilled with each fork full. The service was fantastic and we will come again very soon!!!

The day after Thanksgiving, we found this gem on our road trip back home. It is nestled on a retreat-like property that was very full of families. We were seated right away in the bar area and it was cozy and comfortable (loved the high back chairs). While they had a full restaurant, service was attentive and kind. I was super satisfied with my meal and could not finish all of it - the portions were very generous! They do offer gluten-free toast for those who care and there butter was, dun dun dun.. COLD! But butter is butter and I made it work. Definitely would recommend if you are visiting the area and wanting a filling and tasty breakfast.

We had a good, solid lunch at Sam's Social Club. I saw raving Yelp reviews for this place, but I though it was very good but not crazy amazing like the reviews said--perhaps I set my expectations too high. But please don't get me wrong, as our lunch was perfectly great. My chicken Caesar salad was very good--wedges of lettuce covered in dressing, with grilled chicken on the side. My friend said the burger was good, and I nabbed one of another friend's tater tots, which was great. Overall, the food was good, American bistro fare.

Amazing food, fun ambiance. We had about 30 minutes to squeeze in breakfast before heading to our first wine tasting appointment of the day, and the staff were able to accommodate our tight time frame! We ordered a mini-feast for two and proceeded to inhale all the wonderful flavors and textures! We ordered everything to share- candy cap breakfast churros, the Scramble with breakfast potatoes and an English muffin, plus a side of bacon and chicken apple sausage. The candy cap churros were the surprise standout! They were light and crisp and melted into sweet, cinnamon bliss after the initial crunch of biting into them. Definitely worth a try! Overall, we had a great experience. Would return to enjoy a more leisurely brunch.

Sam's Social Club was a great spot for brunch! We went on a Saturday and enjoyed a group gathering. The restaurant initially gave us a difficult time and told us they were not able to accommodate a larger group, but our server ended up getting the opportunity to combine some tables to make it work. We started our meal with roasted eggplant and pepper dip, which was quite enjoyable. It was served with some flatbread that was nice and fluffy. I ordered the schnitzel, which was done quite well, but slightly underseasoned. It was served with a salad which was refreshing. Their kids meal was a solid combination as well. The chicken tenders themselves were mediocre. However, it came with tater tots, a few carrots, and fruit (grapes). Some of my friends got the mortadella sandwich, which looked really solid. The portion size was huge too! I might have to try that at my next visit. Overall, I would come back to try some of the other food options here. There's ample parking outside, and some areas to walk around to explore the space.

Everything was great! Unique and comforting with good service. The ambiance of the bar had a better vibe than the dining room but I did go there for lunch so it could be different in the pm.

Restaurant was beautiful, it was cozy with class. The service was Amazing, our server was very attentive and listened to all our questions and requests. And the food was delicious, make sure to save room for the banana bread.

Stopped by for Sunday brunch. They had a great selection of some unique items. I had Egg in a Hole. We have done this at home before, but you rarely ever find it on a menu. They had their own unique twist to it, with thick egg bread. Great. Service was spot on. Very attentive and professional. It is getting hard to find these days, but we were able to get in and out on time as we had a place to be after. We sat outside and they have a nice outdoor area, that can be shaded when needed. It sits up against a hillside that has been nicely landscaped. It must be amazing in the evening. I will say, the place was hard to find. Google maps failed me, and the signage was minimal. But it is on the Indian Springs resort property, inside the entrance, to the left.

The best eggs Benedict I have ever had in my life! We sat outside and enjoyed the weather! Service was top notch! I highly recommend, we will be back!!!

Whenever I am in Calistoga, I am always sure to drop by Sam's Social Club! Their cocktails are outstanding and you gotta be sure and try their churros!!! I have never had a bad experience here. Nice atmosphere service is great. I will definitely come back to this place over and over.

This was a special gift, given from family member, the restaurant is pleasant and clean, our waiter was Roderick, he was pushy, trying to rush us, he made it an unpleasant experience. The Ceviche was wonderful, the Lamb shank was OK and Almond cake was delicious. The wine was over top at $40.00 a glass? After all said and done our bill $190.00 and the manager would not except our gift certificate written to Sam's Social Club.

Had such a fun dinner at Sam's - definitely generous portions, split everything and left feeling happily full! Lovely wait staff, beautiful surroundings & great people watching! The churros are to die for!!

Friends and I dined here for lunch before our spa sessions and overall had a great time. They were renovating the outdoor patio but the inside was spacious and clean. Our server was attentive and was able to accommodate my friend's request for a caprese salad that wasn't on the menu. -Cheeseburger and fries with avocado -Cheeseburger and sub fries with Caesar salad -Custom made caprese salad -Fish tacos Prices were a bit steep but expected in Calistoga and justified because the food was delicious- my cheeseburger burger was to die for, even when it was done medium well: buttery bun, juicy, flavorful beef patty, and fresh veggies and salad! Only dock was for the strand of hair that my friend initially found in her caprese salad, but our server dealt with it swiftly and brought a fresh new plate back.

The charcuterie board was really good and tasty, but definitely disappointed with the Cesar salad. As mentioned before, the salad is soaked in dressing and for the price (17.00) you would think that an edible salad would be pretty easy to manage. Of course, we each ordered the salad and we both left more than half on the plate. Sadly, our server wasn't very attentive and we had to ask for water and other amenities as well.

We spent a couple of days in Calistoga to celebrate our anniversary and chose Sam's for our special celebratory dinner. We were not disappointed! The service was amazing and all the staff were friendly and helpful. Complementary glasses of champagne were a nice touch, seldom seen nowadays, and very much appreciated. We enjoyed the evening special, a beef ragu pasta, as well as the panzanella salad. Both were delicious, but the star of the night were the candy cap churros! Recommended by the manager, who was kind enough to come check in with us, the churros were clearly freshly made. Crispy on the outside and light on the inside, they were delicious by themselves, but when dipped in the dulce de leche drizzled whipped cream.... Wow! Thank you, Sam's, for the wonderful anniversary dinner!

Sam's is a pretty cool place! We decided to come here last minute for a nice dinner in Calistoga and overall enjoyed our experience. Staff were very friendly, outdoor seating was comfortable, and food was delicious. We opted for two prime rib dinners (massive portions fyi) and were pretty satisfied. My only complaint would be that they were running slow when we stopped by one Saturday evening. I'd still come back though because the dinner was delicious!

09212023 = Brunch I wanted to check out a new restaurant for our annual wine brunch date with my girls. This spot checked that list off due to their decent reviews on here as well as from OpenTable. Also, since it was the weekend, reservations are mandatory, especially in Napa/Sonoma area. Coming from the East Bay and SF - the drive was a bit farther than our normal brunch spot in Yountville. It was so far that all the girls wondered why we were going there! Trust me, I got so much crap for it but THANKFULLY, the food, service, and quality were well worth it. We opted to sit inside since of course, it happened to be a cold cloudy morning. We got seated by the fireplace which was quite nice. The girls and I started off with cocktails which I forgot what we got but they were delicious and strong. Definitely a good start for our outing. I opted to get their eggs benedict - it was okay, it wasn't the best eggs benedict I've had thus I think the reason why I only finished one of it. I also shared the candy cap churros - which was delicious to share. Overall, it was good to check out but a bit of a further drive than Farmstead or Bouchon. The staff were super friendly. The quality of food and pricing was decent for "Napa". I highly recommend making a reservation, just in case.

I really love this place. The salad is amazing, specifically the green goddess salad. And more specifically the dressing. The venue is swanky but informal. Perfect date place or just great friends' place. Priced understandably, great parking, awesome staff and venue!

Such a great place. Love the music and all the choices. Patio is amazing and the place overall is just spectacular.

We were on the hunt for an amazing cheese plate, internet reviews had us checking out the depot. When we got there they were not serving their cheese plate that day and it took over 15 minutes for the bartender to make our cocktails, even though we were basically the only people there. We decided to come to Sam's Social Club and the cocktails, service, and cheese plate were exceptional and we Will for sure be back! Brie was amazing!
