Peter's Steakhouse

"I was lured in by the rating and reviews. I made the trek to Isleton solely for the prime rib at Peter’s Steakhouse. But not sure what happened, the prime rib I got was dry and served at a lukewarm temp. Bummer. Service on the other hand was off the charts down right hospitable. Hubs and I dropped in for lunch. I ordered the prime rib sandwich and chose a green salad for my side. Hubs ordered a cheeseburger with fries (which were thick cut). My prime rib was flavorless and dry, lacking that fresh cooked wet juiciness. Plus it was served at a lukewarm temperature. Aw shucks. The salad on the other hand was delicious. Surprisingly it had pumpkin seeds and raisins, nice twist. The blue cheese dressing was disappointing though. It was flavorless as well with a thin, runny consistency. So bizarre. Another odd thing was the temperature inside the restaurant. It was chilly. It didn’t seem to warm up. Speaking about the building, it has quite the history. It was built in 1878 as a mercantile shop. The town’s main wharf and dock was located behind the mercantile. The dock is long gone. Throughout the years, the building served as a post office, Oddfellows Hall, community center … and now Peter’s Steakhouse. There is an info board on the dining room wall with old photos describing the building’s history. The last major remodel was in 2005. The dining room is a mix of Americana steakhouse with Chinese art work. If I happen to be in the area, I might consider giving Peter’s another go."

"I’ve driven past this restaurant for several years, always thought I need to try that place. So for my birthday dinner my family decided to give it a try, and it did not disappoint!!! The Prime Rib was excellent, the cream corn was so delicious and they give you the biggest ice cream dessert. Excellent Service too."

"Decent little spot with a historic touch. My wife and thought this place looked interesting on our drive up the OLD Sac and decided to give it a touch. Service was very fast and friendly. The historic pictures and literature to read hanging on the walls was very fascinating and fun to read. The place was not overcrowded and there was plenty of seating, although my booth seat was blown out and uncomfortable. We ordered a steak dinner and a salad. The steak was cooked perfect medium rare and my horseradish appeared home made. Flavor was bland and price was steep. ( except the cream corn was amazing ) Pricing could be a reflection of current the economy, the state of California or other factors the restaurant can not control. We would probably come back and try different menu items because there was some variety to choose from ."

"I had always wanted to check this place out. Have driven past it for years. For my birthday this year I decided this is where I wanted to go and to support a local business. From the moment we walked in the door it felt warm and welcoming. The young man that served us tonight was so polite and attentive and went above and beyond in service. Now the food. My salad was delicious and very fresh. A simple starter salad but so tasty and nice size. We had the clam chowder. Clams were plentiful and cooked well. It did have a tad bit too much pepper for my taste. I dipped my bread and used the oyster crackers and it helped dull down the pepper. The portion size for the soup was huge. I will just get a cup next time! For the main course I had 12oz prime rib, broccoli, and baked potato. My prime rib melted in my mouth and the au jus was the best I have ever had!! My broccoli was cooked perfectly, soft but firm. It was lacking flavor but I added a little butter and scarfed it down. The potato was, well, a potato, lol. I usually like my skin covered in olive oil and garlic salt and having a little crisp. So for me, it was just a potato but it wasn't bad. My husband had the NY steak and he let me have a couple bites. It was perfectly seasoned, perfectly cooked, and was so delicious. He had the cream corn, of course let me try some. The corn tasted fresh. I really liked it. I did have to add a little salt to it. The hubby would've liked a little sweetness to it but we differ on that opinion, lol. My son had pretty much the same thing I did, so nothing new to report on his except that, he ate his whole plate lol. To make me feel special for my birthday dinner, they brought out this huge plate with ice cream and a scrumptious and moist brownie covered in whip cream and caramel sauce!! I would definitely recommend this place. Great local business and a part of the delta history. We will definitely be going back :) *For some reason the pic of my prime rib didn't save :("

"This place was an absolute delight to eat at. The staff was very kind and attentive. Our waitress which I’m pretty sure was the owner, was very funny and kind. The food was delicious. I had the prime rib sandwich with French fries. The appetizer combo was delicious also, it has calamari, fried shrimp, fried oysters, and delicious soft shell crab. Just an overall great ambience here. Please come try it out you won’t regret it!"
