Best Fresh Mex:
Baja Fresh
|

Ask any Intel employee where “Baja”
is, and they probably won’t tell you it’s south of the
California border… it’s across the street, at Baja Fresh.
Baja Fresh presents a wide variety of healthy choices for
lunch, and it’s no wonder why the Intel crowd flocks here at
lunch – it’s good and usually good for you!

If you have never tasted Thai food,
you are in for a treat, because Thai Siam is one of the best
Thai restaurants in the valley. Thai Siam on Gold Lake Drive

Best American Food:
Bailey's |
|
|
Tucked away in a little strip mall
on East Bidwell, you’ll walk in to this place and realize
it’s a first-class facility. If you are looking for a dry
martini, excellent seafood, or a good steak, this place is
where to go. If Dean Martin or Frank Sinatra lived in
Folsom, this is where they’d hang out. It’s a pretty hip
place!

Best European Food:
Bidwell Street Bistro |
|
|
“The Bistro”, as many MyFolsomites
call it, takes a page out of Paris and creates the ambiance
of a classy, yet unassuming restaurant. A repeat winner in
the “Best of Folsom”, it’s no wonder you’ll need
reservations on the weekends. It’s a nice place, eh? Pardon
our poor French accent.

Lunch, La Bou is where it’s at! La Bou has been well known

Best French Fries: Red Robin |
|
|
Also winner of
the “Best Burger” in Folsom, Red Robin rounds out the plate
with the best fries in town. A few MyFolsom netizens
explained that it’s the reason they come to Red Robin –
their bottomless fries. It’s almost a shame their burgers
are so filling, as the fries are delicious all on their own!

Best Fast Food:
JimBoy's |
|
|
| “Oh Boy!
Jimboy’s!” Jimboys may be very popular because it’s really
only around in the Sacramento area. Though they are a local
chain, it’s easy to see why they thrive… their food is
awesome. MyFolsom netizens recommend the “El Gordo” taco, or
a Super Burrito, which is more than enough to feed an army! |

Best Chain Restaurant: BJ's
Restaurant Brewery |
|
|
| BJ’s was a
smash hit from the day they’ve opened in Folsom. Evenings
still command a significant wait to get a table, but the
food is so worth it. The pizza is incredible, the desserts
are out of this world. In the mood for a dessert that’s
worth the extra calories? Order a “Pizzookie”. Trust us! |
