Had a fantastic experience here. In addition to being extremely professional and knowledgeable, owner and engineer Matt Dudman was consistently able to get the best out of me and my band. Highly recommended!
Matt was kind and professional the whole hour I worked with him in his home studio and he delivered some great, clean audio at the end. Thank you again for your help!
Great atmosphere and equipment, but the key is Matt Dudman – excellent engineer and musician, patient, super efficient, and understands all genres. Highly recommended.

My wife and I planned our backyard wedding last year in Lafayette… amid all of the DIY vendors, rentals (etc.) Rich was a clear standout. We were initially worried about our wedding feeling underwhelming and too much like an average “house party.” Rich’s professionalism, expertise, and collaboration took our celebration to the next level. For the ceremony, he prepared in advance to cue in on all of the exact right moments for the ceremony, the first dances, the toasts, and the dance party. He even showed up a day early for the rehearsal to do audio checks and make sure everything was squared away beforehand. He cooperated with other vendors to make things easy for everybody. We were blown away by his generosity! He ended up bringing double the equipment and an extra assistant to make sure that the night went perfectly. And to cap it all off, our dance floor was off the hook that night. Thank you Rich! It was more than we could ever have asked for! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
6. The Barn and Pantry
Address: 151 W A St, Dixon, CA 95620 , Dixon , California , United States
Amazing quality food, it’s delicious!!! They also have a fridge full of awesome local items to take home. This has been one of my favorite places for 2020
A great cup of coffee, yummy choices for locally sourced groceries, a farmers market on Sundays, and all kinds of classes too! Plus, for me, within walking distance…I’m a happy camper! Try it, you will be too.
Stopped in to visit my boyfriend’s extended family and I had a good experience overall. My favorite part was the atmosphere; being surrounded by plants and natural elements was calming while I enjoyed my coffee and catching up with the people I was with.
Friendly service. Good coffee.
First time there. My chips was cold and had no crunch. Orders came out wrong. Will not be going back. I should of ate at the burger stand at the corner
Good food, really nice people.
I have come to the barn and pantry a few times over the last few years and I had hopes it was just going to be better each time! This last Sunday was the biggest disappointment, I had a vanilla latte with French toast and my friend had the Eggs Benedict, and ended up with a ollipop drink because they had run out of multiple of the homemade syrups. (Don’t come after 11:30 am maybe?) It was around noon when we dined, but the outdoor and indoor dining area had not been cleaned, so out of the 3 available tables, we got one outside.
We waited for our food which didn’t take long but my French toast only had bananas on them. I don’t like them and don’t consider them a seasonal fruit because they are year round. Also they came out with no butter so by the time I got the cold butter the toast was to cool and it was just more disappointing.
Now my friend had the eggs Benedict with bacon and hash browns. The hash browns were the only thing I’d give a 10 / 10 the hollandaise was okay, the egg it self was over cooked.
Overall the visit was just bad, we love going to nice places that offer local produce and fresh food, but I spent I think 55 with tip for lunch, which is justified if it hadn’t felt like I paid to sit on a dirty park bench with mediocre food.
It was awkward for myself because I hyped this place up to some friends, and it did not impress.
I thought this was a long time established place when I saw it and decided to go in and get breakfast and noticed all the fresh meat and dairy in the fridge. So I ordered the country fried steak breakfast as per recommended by the girl at the counter which was decent. But $23.00 for a chicken fried steak breakfast is a bit excessive
I ordered eggs over-medium…..they came over cooked!! With the smallest serving of hash browns I’ve ever seen on a breakfast plate, not to mention the order doesn’t even come with a biscuit or toast. I guess that’s extra!? Service was like here’s your food and walked away. And not offering a coffee refill or any condiments. I could have eaten better elsewhere and cheaper too! I wouldn’t recommend unless you want to spend $100 on breakfast for 2.. maybe 3 people.
For $23!, we got the thinnest, most overcooked chicken fried steak I’ve ever had, accompanied by overseasoned gravy. The country potatoes were the best part of the meal. The eggs looked just like store-bought, not the dark yolked robust ones I would expect from a specialty restaurant. The coffee was good & bottomless. The service is minimal – counter order, they did refill the coffee but forgot the requested milk. Lots of flies buzzing around inside.
Probably won’t be back.
7. McDonald’s
Address: 1410 Ary Ln, Dixon, CA 95620 , Dixon , California , United States
Restaurant très propre, pour une fois le sandwich était parfaitement bien droit et bien fait.
Tout était bien chaud.
Commande sur écran et servie à table rapidement.
Le personnel est très gentil
This is by far the best McDonald’s around the food always taste great and is well seasoned! Hard to imagine from a fast food joint but I think they actually use salt and pepper on thier burgers!
Its McDonald’s. 3 stars for the adequate service.
Fast drive thru
Friendly staff. I just always double check my food and make sure they didn’t forget anything lol. Also they have been parking me a lot to wait for my food.
Clerk didn’t know what she was doing.
I don’t mind having to wait for any items when its busy. But this morning I waited for two caramel macchiatos and they ended up tasting like watered down foamy milk. Coulda just said you didn’t have it ♀️ ♀️
New McDonald and there is NO changing table in either restroom. Super confused. Isn’t this a family place? My kids are the ones who beg to go. When I asked the staff about it they were super rude. Made me want to change my son on a dining room table but didn’t, I will never stop at this McD again.
8. Walmart Supercenter
Address: 235 E Dorset Dr, Dixon, CA 95620 , Dixon , California , United States
Very nice clean store. Employees were very kind. Nice warm environment.
Had to return my first defective battery to automotive dept. Mgr was friendly, knowledgeable, and prompt. Great job!
Great selections for Christmas gifts and trees and small items
Always very busy and long line ups
The usual Walmart. Employees blocking off every aisle and the “greeter” being anything but happy and helpful. In their defense it is the Sunday after black Friday and I would be grumpy too.
Don’t know who came in and decided to buy out all the small women’s shirts, but congratulations, you win.
Under construction Entrance signs are posted wrong door Employs smoking outside the door not a very good experience
I went there coming from Sacramento looking for a specific item that they said they had and they did not. And…..I called to confirm they had the item. The person (African- American young girl) was SO rude……how could they have her at customer service. Other than that fast service and clean store.
The worst store in the state service is bad store is dirty workers are rude managers can’t and dont help always out of things they never restock items . None of the workers know anything and don’t help to find or get answers just a horrible store . I have nothing nice to say about it. I have a handicap friend who asked the guy picking up the carts if he could look in the entry way to see if an electric was available an the guy told him he didn’t have time to look .the stood on the side of the building and smoked a cigarette for 20 minutes doing nothing
9. Dutch Bros Coffee
Address: 2375 N 1st St, Dixon, CA 95620 , Dixon , California , United States
I love going to Dutch Bros but it’s so busy in the morning we need another Dutch Bros in town.
Great service! Delicious drinks. Love the lids!
Good service. Fast. Great drink
Friendly.
Terrible service in dixon ,Woodland dutch Bros way better
Coffee is not consistent and each time I have been it seems as if the coffee is watered down.
I used to work for dutch bros. The standard for employees have gone down. I walk up this morning and this blond girl was so rude and acted like it was such a problem to have to open a walk up window and help me. It been the last few dutch stops that have got me here but I will no longer support dutch brothers. When I worked their it was strict and we focused on customer service and speed. We all smiled and talked to our customers and now I don’t even get a hi or eye contract. You guys need to figure it out but dutch is does not make you a cool kid. Making money takes working hard for it and keeping quality a high standard. Forgetting my drink being rude is redicalous. Good luck dutch bros
10. Redbox
Address: 1235 Stratford Ave, Dixon, CA 95620 , Dixon , California , United States
Great old school music store. I found this place because I was looking for a specific guitar, an Ibanez Jemjr, and they had it in stock. I kind of wish I wasn’t because it would have been nice to shop this store, they have 100’s of guitars. I’m sure anyone could find a guitar they like. Great prices and deals also.
There’s more than just guitars and guitar gear. It looked like they carry everything instrument related.
Very good selections. Staff is very helpful and friendly.
Tweed Hut Music is the “go to” place for so many of my family’s instrumental needs. Sales and repairs are only two of the services provided. Their knowledge and service is always top notch. They even purchase items from customers. This resale inventory helps to keep options open for customers on a tight budget.
Friendly folks But poor job on my guitar.
1) I took my new guitar for setup and it has the transparent pickguard, it was all dirty inside the pickguard so i had to buy the tool to open the pickguard and clean myself also few screws were popping out. (And also they took off the protective sticker which i kept for a purpose.
2) the frets were still sharp which they said they gonna file it off. So i had to take another shop to get it done and i spent more.
Drove 160 miles total and spend money for poor treatment to the guitar.
My 12 y/o special needs son walked in this store and asked for help, by using their phone to call his mom and was refused help this is absolutely despicable. I will absolutely let people know what kind of people run this store.
They had a decent selection of instruments, but I was very disappointed with how one of the workers treated my friend and me. We were playing on a few different instruments over the course of about 30 minutes, and at some point a worker walked up to us and told us that the jamming had to stop. Never thought I’d hear that complaint in a music store, especially since we were playing relatively quietly. He most likely assumed we weren’t serious about buying anything (which is far from true), but I can assure you that they won’t be getting my business any time soon. I’d rather drive the extra 30 minutes to Guitar Center.
12. The Good Scoop
Address: 1160 Pitt School Rd Suite A, Dixon, CA 95620 , Dixon , California , United States
Amazing variety of flavorful ice cream! Staff is very friendly and helpful!
The ice cream here is some of the best
Try the black sesame! It’s incredible!
Spacious and cute. They have unique flavors and changing their menu frequently. Glad to have caught earl grey!
Delicious ice cream
They have really interesting flavors but I wish I scoops were bigger!
We have always loved the flavors at the Good Scoop. Honestly really great icecream with some of the most unique flavors that you really can’t find anywhere else. However, we have noticed over the last year that the scoops have gotten smaller and smaller. We really want to continue to be customers, but are really considering not coming back. 2 scoops is really equivalent to about one for a fairly high price per scoop (even on $2 scoops Tuesdays it still feels like we are not getting a very good deal).
With this place being only a block away from baskin robbins I hoped the quality and flavor of the ice cream would surpass baskin robbins especially since its so high priced. I walked in and it was hot which is not usual for an ice cream place. I felt like I could have made better tasting ice cream at my house. The flavor choices were different but not in a way of making you want to try them.
You guys are rude !
13. Algood Ink Tattoo
Address: 165 E A St c, Dixon, CA 95620 , Dixon , California , United States
Love this place and the people. Josh and Sara are amazing. Great customer service. Josh is an amazing artist. I highly recommend this tattoo shop
Love this place! Didn’t even hurt when I got my ankle tattoo. You have to book ahead, but totally worth it. I can see why people go here for years of tattoo work.
Highly recommend for piercing. My 9 year old needed to have a ear piercing re-pierced after we had complications with her piercing at another studio 2 years ago. Sara was amazing. She answered all of my questions tried to see if we could just push the earing through first. She used a stainless steel needle and was very proficient and professional. My daughter was very nervous of the pain and almost decided not to go through with it. Sara was very patient and explained everything to my daughter and we did not feel pressured at all. My daughter ended up going through with it and we were very satisfied. If I was to get another piercing I would 100% go to Sara here at Allgood ink.
Poor management skills. Management is extremely rude.
I came into algood ink about two weeks ago because I had SCHEDULED an appointment (deposit $60), but Josh wanted to re-schedule because he was going to do a ladies tattoo that probably took him an hour- hour on her wrist. While waiting and he was ready to tattoo the lady before me, HE ALMOST TATTOOED the wrong date on a tattoo she was getting, once on her (stenciled) she noticed and made him change it. Funny thing is that he kinda had an attitude about changing it!!! On my Tattoo he had to go back to his drawing desk because he kept leaving and taking words out on the piece I was getting. He was getting more FRUSTRATED what kind of artist is this. Not only were his words sloppy (calligraphy expert/certificates) but his attitude was very unprofessional, I was really looking forward to getting my piece done but now I’m just glad I spent $60 dollars on no tattoo then to have paid more and got a bad one. I arrived at my 3 o clock appointment @ 2pm and left @ 7:30pm with still no tattoo, time and money were wasted.
Tried to get help with my obviously newly pierced earring, all I got was a hurt ear and no progress. Also I was blamed for moving and was cussed at with his kids present. Thanks.

Address: 1505 N 1st St, Dixon, CA 95620 , Dixon , California , United States
Great place for help for most anything. Good professional sales personel. Joy to shop there…
Prices can be a little high, but they have pretty much everything.
Good family run hardware store with just about everything you might need.
Well stock. Convenient
Not helpful at all , customer service just looks at you and doesn’t ask if you need help or anything else and when I did ask for help they didn’t even try to help me second time I’ve had bad service at the store
No customers or employees (except for the cashier behind the plexiglass shield) masked. Couldn’t get out fast enough. Didn’t buy anything as I won’t support a business like this.
Not so knowledgeable

Being a musician who got their start with the help of a family owned music shop so many years ago it was so refreshing being around the fine folks at Watermelon! Just like the old days where they care!
Cheers from London!
Used to stop by when they were in downtown Davis.. “new” location is bigger and very cool
Huge variety of.musical instruments and supplies for students.
Pretentiousness in some staff leads one to want to shop elsewhere…i love helping out small businesses but… They can’t have that attitude
Staffs are SO SALTY AND RUDE sh*
My experience was not to good. I had to wait a long time before i was assisted in buying a bass with amp. I had to get an employee s attention just to get service. The females working there are nice and polite. The male employee that was trying to help me seemed to know very little about was good to buy for first time bass player. Ill go back and see if i get better service.
Don’t bring your instrument to get repaired here. Very laggy with no communication. Waste of time.
