The Fried Chicken dinner was awesome, and one of the best meals of my life!
The outside chicken breading is so crispy and delicious. The chicken inside is very moist and flavorful. It's served with a bacon gravy that compliments it perfectly. Together, they take you to a new level of satisfaction! Incredibly good!
(And I grew up in the South - so I consider myself to be a connoisseur of Southern cooking).
But there's more! This dinner includes one of the best Mac n Cheese dishes I've ever had, and it's sprinkled with bacon. Yumm!
The Chicken dinner also includes a dish of Collard Greens. Very tasty!
We also ordered the Wagyu burger, and it was great too.
When we came back two weeks later, I had the Chicken dinner again, and it was fantastic.
Also we had a great Salmon, and a great Sole. All so good.
Our server, Zoe, was terrific.
In summary, a wonderful meal.
Highly recommended!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Victoria S.Sonoma, CA63154Sep 6, 2024
The appetizers and drinks are really good!! The steak tartare was amazing and the presentation was so nice! I couldn't get enough.
The truffle fries were very yummy and I loved the different sauces
The ribeye steak was extremely disappointing... if I'm paying $50 for a steak I would hope it's a good quality cut. Instead I got a steak full of fat and tendons much more similar to a chuck eye steak... I should've listened to my waiters warning that the sauce it came with was sweet and had it on the side. It was just pure sugar and the taste was so powerful it overtook any flavor of the meat and side veggies. I could only take a few bites before I shoved my plate to the side....
The fried chicken was okay- dark meat is definitely the juicier parts but that side gravy was horrendous. It was sour and funky. Mac and cheese was good but soupy and collard greens were meh.
Unfortunately I would not come back despite loving the apps and drinks...Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Adams-Grigorieff F.Petaluma, CA1229Jun 27, 2024
Cocktails were great, food not so much.
We had the chicken sandwich and it was very dry and lacked salt. Bland. Bun was plain as well. Uneventful.
Tuna Ahi dish was four tiny pieces that were not fresh. Disappointing for $18.
Hush puppies were burnt but still tasted good.
We really wanted to like this place, but we think they may have had an off night with the kitchen.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Shay R.Phoenix, AZ23912Sep 8, 2024
So delicious! My husband and I have been to Easy Rider a few times for both brunch and dinner, and it's been delicious every time. We especially love the hush puppies and fried chicken. The cocktails are also great!

Easy Rider is one of the best restaurants in Petaluma. My boyfriend and I started our meal with the shrimp starter. It was very tasty. The sauce that came with the shrimp made it even better. I enjoyed the corn under the shrimp with sauce. I ordered the steak. It was a bit over done for me. I ordered medium and pretty much got well done. That kind of ruined the entree for me since it was the main dish. My boyfriend got the salmon and loved it. I tasted it, and I loved the crispy skin of the salmon. The corn succotash under the salmon made the dish amazing. The servers were great and attentive. The prices could be a little steep for what you're getting. All in all I might come again and try other dishes.

Came here yesterday, I loved the ambiance and decorations and our waitress was also so nice.
The food was good, but just food. The hush puppies and biscuits and gravy tasted like something was missing, it was a little bland.
However, it was closer to the end of their brunch so maybe we just caught the kitchen at a bad time. I definitely will come back to try again!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jan 6, 2024
Friday night dinner after work with a friend. Wanted to grab a bite & drink. We headed to Easy Rider in downtown Petaluma - catty corner of Hotel Petaluma.
Service was great from the hostess to the server. We had a small wait of about 30 to 35 minutes. Not bad for a full house. A request for a particular style of seating was accommodated with a smile - always appreciated! Our server was quick & attentive.
Ambiance was perfect for casual cocktails sitting at the bar, a dinner date inside one of the enclosed booths, sunny brunch kinda vibes. There was a variety of seating high, low, chair, both, & bar. They have these two cool almost-enclosed booths but there's only two of them. I didn't get a chance to sit in them! Snag one, if you can. However, everywhere in the restaurant really has its own charm & view to offer.
Food menu offers gastropub style food. Presentation was stunning. Everything was cooked well. With all due respect, the flavor was lacking just a little bit for my taste & flavor palette.
Feeling a little 'APPY' I order the following: Crispy Brussels Sprouts w/ carolina farro, peanuts, balsamic, parmesan, truffle. They were cooked well & loved the charred flavoring! There was a heavily amount of shaved Parmesan cheese atop the pile of brussels sprouts! I just wish there was a little more seasoning cooked into the brussels. Baked Brie paired w/ bread tips, apple slivers, walnuts, & preserves. Which was an amazing starter. Lastly, the bacon & potato soup. This had a great texture with the smooth soup & bits of bacon as well as potato. I added black pepper because I love it. I added salt because it needed it. It was much better & I enjoyed every bite.
I tried a piece of fried chicken from my friends Fried Chicken Dinner w a side of collard greens & mac'n'cheese. She enjoyed her mac but didn't care for the flavor of the greens. They had a bit of a sweetness to them & not much flavor or seasoning. I tried a bite & thought the same.
Thank you for having me & hosting a lovely dinner @EasyRider.
I'll come back to try some more things.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1 - Courtney E.Mount Shasta, CAJul 26, 2024
Easy rider has a lot of fun, unique, and delicious food options. We shared a Monday night locals special meal, along with some appetizers. The appetizer included in the meal plan was good, but very small. Then main meat dish was delicious and good-sized. The dessert was not great, as it was cold inside still. The bartender was awesome and made us crafted drinks based on our likes. The only weird thing with the service was another server who kept using a hand-held straw to take little samples of each new drink the bartender made.. kind of gross and unprofessional.
