Husick

Possibly the best food around for miles...literally.  There are no other restaurants in the area.  We were absolutely famished after a few hours at the Old Sugar Mill wine tasting and no food prior.  A fellow wine taster overheard us talking about something beyond a liquid diet and suggested we check out Husick's.

Easy to find.  It's the next block south on the River Road.  An old hardware store converted into a rustic gift shop, wine tasting bar, and deli.  An enormous space that looks a little underutilized.  Only two people on staff, one takes care of the deli side and the other takes care of the wine tasting and helps out on the deli.  The gal on the deli side is nice enough, but not very engaging.

The menu is an assortment of salads and panini sandwiches.  There is no doubt from our party of 6 that the paninis were the best ever though we all admitted that in our state of hunger, pretty anything would have tasted good.  $8 each seemed a little steep though.  We're talking about, maybe, $2 worth of ingredients on bread and put into a panini press.

Knowing what we know now, I would have just ponied up about the same amount of money and paid for panini sandwiches at the makeshift food table inside the Old Sugar Mill set up by the Boulevard Bistro in Elk Grove.

Husick's is a good idea, but needs to lower prices and thinks of something to make use of the interiors better.

Great little stop while wine tasting in the Clarksburg area. We only stopped in for ice cream and sat in the chairs outdoors to enjoy. Very nice.

The Wine Country Lunch for two (Livingsocial deal) we received was nothing like the pictures (we got 1/3 quantity) on Yelp or the description on Living Social. Instead of the $44 value advertised, I think it was about $12 worth of food. The employees were dismissive and disinterested.

The canned pickled beets and carrots were edible, but not worth $10 each. The building has a nice atmosphere.

If you want something to eat when Wine Tasting in Clarksburg, do yourself a favor and just go by Raley's or Nugget and get some cheese, bread, crackers and prosciutto. You'll eat better and save money.

I wanted give one more chance but more I think about the experience I get depressed.  So, I decided not to get Zena's (owner) free sandwich offer after our phone conversation.

Summary: Nice atmosphere. Poor service. Overpriced. If I thought it would be worth suing for false advertisement, I would.      (Review based on 6/24/2012 visit.)
