Restaurants in Carmichael

“Staff were very friendly, and the food tasted wonderful. I've been there a few times and would definitely come again. With the many different types of rolls, you'll always have one suitable for your taste of preference!”

“The restaurant had a relaxing and upbeat atmosphere. The food was flavorful with good portion sizes. And our waitress - whose name I unfortunately did not catch - was thoughtful, friendly, and hospitable; which is rare these days. The Napoleon with Armenian coffee was the perfect way to end the evening.”

“Great sushi amazing staff, would recommend and give a 5 star”

“Party room was a nice size for large gatherings”

“This place is amazing, we will definitely be back.”

“New restaurant. Family owned. Excellent owner. Must go to as soon as it opens. Authentic Jamaican family food.”

“Great food and stellar service absolutely love this place.”

“The best BBQ! I love this place”

“Only at Palm Street best cosmos ever!!!”

“Very disappointed - although lamb shank was falling off the bone- the oily bland brown gravy was not helped by more salt and few uncooked mushrooms. The side vegetables - broccoli and can string beans - were overcooked, mushy dull green. The cropped tomatoes on the Greek salad were spoiled and should have been thrown out. There are better Mediterranean/Greek restaurants in Sacramento than this one. Dining area is in the bar - not a very good dining experience for conversation.”

“Awesome authentic organic gelato!! I had a really hard time choosing which flavors to choose as all of the many I tasted were just as good as the prior flavor. We met the owner Gabriel; he was very kind and generous. We are visiting from Florida. As I was enjoying my gelato, all I kept thinking is that just like our vacation, I did not want this to end. Keep up the great work Gabriel!”

“The best BBQ! I love this place”

“Had lunch with a group from the Carmichael Senior Club. Our President treated us to an appetizer of Ruben rolls. Corned beef, Swiss cheese and sauerkraut wrapped up in wonton wrappers and deep fried. They were excellent.”

“Love the ambiance - after work kind of place comfortable for me as a sometimes single female, or with a group of friends!
Amazing food! Good beverage selection, friendly staff!”

“Customer service was awesome!”

“Ordered the 13 pieces chef choice Sashimi…. Impressed and satisfied ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Excellent food, great service! I have been here several times and have not been disappointed! The complimentary little bowl of mangos with Tajin sprinkled over it, the fresh, authentic & delicious food (love the Chile en Nogada🤩❤️) and the Tamarind Margaritas are all delicious!”

“If you haven’t been to Serritella’s yet, it’s definitely worth a visit. I ordered the pesto pasta and it was delicious. I skipped adding protein (meat has just not been it for me lately), and honestly, it didn’t even need it—the flavor carried on its own. My only tiny complaint? It said it came with sun-dried tomatoes… and I think I counted three. But even with that, the dish still hit. My wife ordered the chicken parmesan and said it was bomb. Of course I had to try a bite—and she wasn’t lying. The flavors were all there, no notes, no “I wish it had this or that”—just solid. I also had the white sangria and let me tell you… that alone is worth coming back for. So good. We sat out on the patio, got greeted right away, and our waitress was attentive, kind, and just added to the whole experience. She even offered dessert, but we were so full we had to pass—and that’s saying something because banana cream pie is one of my favorites. Bonus: she’s the one who makes it. I love a good family-style spot like that. We’ll definitely be back… and next time I might just order a salad so I can save room for that pie 😂”

“Princess party ❤️😍 more to come. Come have your party’s here”

“Good food and good price.”

“Amazing food! Best tacos in Sacramento. Owner Shane was really great to speak with. He and his food exude passion. You must try The Char Market! 🌮”

“The lamb in qabili palaw was tender and could be cut with fork. The curry was spicy but not over the top. All dishes well seasoned and attractively arranged even though takeout. The long grain rice and bread were also very tasty.”

“Went to this place on Friday, customer service was excellent and the food was exquisite. Will be going back for sure.”

“Came here on a whim after shopping with friends. We needed to sit down somewhere and rest. We ordered the mango tango smoothie and tuna sandwich and felt so refreshed after. The owners were very attentive. I definitely want to come back and try the vegan pastrami! Only con is that it felt warm in there.”

“Living in Carmichael for about year and a half, after living in Chicago (.a place that knows a little bit about chicken wings), this is my go to place for chicken wings. Not whole like Chicago.”

“I didn’t expect an Afghan restaurant to feel this personal. From the moment I walked in, there was a quiet warmth—not loud, not forced, just genuine. The dishes carried depth without trying to impress. Every bite felt layered with care, especially the rice and slow-cooked meats. It’s not just food, it’s a calm experience that stays with you after you leave.”

“Our first time here. We did a random drop in while driving through Carmichael en route back to the Bay Area. This place is a little gem. I bought the carrot cake and lemon meringue and cannot wait to try it out!!”

“Awesome authentic organic gelato!! I had a really hard time choosing which flavors to choose as all of the many I tasted were just as good as the prior flavor. We met the owner Gabriel; he was very kind and generous. We are visiting from Florida. As I was enjoying my gelato, all I kept thinking is that just like our vacation, I did not want this to end. Keep up the great work Gabriel!”

“Great sandwiches! Don't let the long lines bother you at lunch, they are really fast! Self-serve soda, my favorite.”

“Great coffee and great owners. Dolly somehow always remembers what my wife eats and drinks!”

“Our family finally decided to try this place and we weren’t disappointed! We ordered for pick up and it tasted fresh, it was hot, and it was delicious!

A combo plate could easily serve 2 people

We got the orange chicken combo and the general tsao chicken combo

We will be going back for sure”

“I've been going to Lido for some time, with friends and alone. Friends LOVE it!! Great place to meet! GOOD coffee. GOOD service. Nice to know Shawna. GREAT food! GREAT specials! GREAT baked goods (but have to arrive early for a selection - they go FAST). Good ambiance! Also OUTDOOR seating (limited).”

“Vegan donuts Friday through Sunday. I usually call ahead to double check! So good 😊 I can’t wait to return!”

“Very good food! The pizza was fresh, the ingredients the dough and good. The wings were also very good and crispy. Doesn’t seem frozen. Which I like. Good prices and nice people. Totally recommend.”

“Generous portions, perfectly cooked shrimp, and flavors that hit every note, pure magic! This restaurant is my mom's favorite (she and her bestie are regulars), and I was lucky enough to catch them before they left so I could place a to-go order. My go-to test at any Mexican restaurant is the Camarones al Mojo de Ajo (garlic butter shrimp), and I was thrilled to see it on the menu here. Ordering takeout is always a gamble since you're not at the restaurant if something isn't right but I believe quality should be consistent whether dining in or taking food to go. Thankfully, this place delivered in every way. The shrimp were succulent, large, not skimpy, and cooked perfectly. The garlic butter was rich and flavorful without being overpowering, and the sautéed onions balanced it all out. Even the refried beans stood out (something many places surprisingly get wrong). The rice was fairly standard...on the drier side but when mixed with the beans and that delicious garlic butter from the shrimp, it turned into a whole new level of flavor. That's how I made my burritos (that's how I eat this plate, I have to wrap it all up in a flour tortilla. Let me tell you, it was absolute magic! Portions were generous, I could tell the meal was thoughtfully prepared, and every bite was pure satisfaction. The only downside was the styrofoam packaging (I'm not a fan of that), but it didn't take away from how incredible the food itself was. This restaurant easily earns my seal of approval. I'll definitely be ordering from here again because when I say the food was amazing with a capital A, I mean it!”

“My husband and I used Palette Cakes for our wedding cake/desserts. Kellie is the absolute sweetest and made my dream wedding cake come to life. The sugar flowers were crafted amazingly, they looked so real. We continue to get compliments on how great the desserts were! She set everything up perfectly during cocktail hour and we were even lucky to see her the day of our wedding. We plan on continuing to support her bakery and will always make the further drive to make sure we use her for all future events. Chase & I can't thank you enough Kellie!”

“The best place for fish and chips nearby. Fair prices for generous portions. The staff is friendly and welcoming. I have found my go to place for the best fish & chips.”

“I never been there, but it any place that makes gyros with lamb is awesome”

“This is my first experience at this Papa Murphy's in Carmichael and Fair Oaks Drive it was wonderful my order was ready it was done properly tasted delicious I will be returning back to the store for future orders”

“Amazing cakes and pastries!”

“Great food, friendly staff great atmosphere”

“I thought the food and service were great. Exceeded my expectation of what I'd expected from a small, local hamburger establishment. Everything in California is expensive so is the minimum wage. You can absolutely find a lesser quality meal cheaper, if you're not looking for quality, go there.”

“Good food and reasonably priced 👍”

“This is a favorite stop when I'm in the area.
Basic café type menu.
Reasonable prices.
Steady stream of regulars dropping in.
Go location for me.
Plenty of free parking.
Kid friendly.
ADA friendly.”

“Quality food and good service. The biryani was really flavorful and delicious. The tandoori chiken was juicy and nice. They also went above and beyond by offering a sample of their garlic naan/roti. It was great too! 100% recommended.”

“Great service and their donuts are absolutley delicious. Crispy on the outside and soft, fluffy and moist on the inside. The blueberry and custard donuts are my favorite! Highly recommend this donut shop!”

“Love this place. We came here to play and have some Boba. The staff were very attentive, made sure we were ok with the air conditioning. Only downfall is the size of this place; it is small. But great to have quality time with friends and family.”

“my favorite iced espresso coffee shop i give it a 10”

“Had a great experience at Middle East Bakery & Grocery! The customer service was excellent — everyone was friendly, helpful, and welcoming from the moment I walked in. They have a great selection of fresh bakery items, groceries, and delicious food. One of the best things is that they stay open really late, which is super convenient when most places are already closed. Clean store, great atmosphere, and amazing service. Definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for quality food and late-night convenience!”

“While we enjoyed the pizza at this place, they are indeed closed permanently. At 4:00 pm the other day, they did not open and then we saw through the windows all the tables and chairs had been removed. Since there was no signage outside to indicate they were closed, I searched the internet and found an article from mid December, 2025 that they were closing permanently on 12/31/2025.”

“Fresh and delicious bread”

“The 911 🙌🏽 gives me energy all day ❤️”

“We love the Milagro Centre, we are going to bring our group in for a fun-filled Wednesday Live Music Night! We have documented this on our Instagram Sacramento Culture page. There is so much good food to eat here you will gain weight for sure lol 🤣 You have to start hanging out here! We highly recommend you do! #SacramentoCulture #SacramentoFoodTours #sacramentofoodie”

“Good food and service. We’ll be back.”

“Women owned cafe. I eat everyday and get their coffee. Sometimes twice. I love them! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙”

“I go here about once every two weeks . I love the food or just for the shake with the boba . I recommend this restaurant to neighbors who live in the neighborhood and bring people from out of the state when visiting . The atmosphere and cleanliness is impeccable . The receptionist / waitress has got to be the most unfriendliness person I have ever met in my 84 yrs of life . It is impossible to even get a friendly smile let alone words or a “thank You” . It is a big turn off. I have neighbors who will not go there because of her. It is hard to ignore .”

“Best, by far, burgers in Sacramento county.”

“They make great food and they can do catering and events! Send them a direct message for more information !”

“Amazing, fun atmosphere~sweet and fun bartenders and awesome drinks. My first time here since it changed over to timeout from Johnny’s, LOVED it!”

“Good food and service. Excellent pickles. My favorite burger/sandwich is the bbq chicken but burgers are also very good.
Double check your to go orders before you leave:)”

“Everything I've eaten here has been fresh, flavorful and generously portioned--from the teriyaki to the sushi to the udon and ramen. Service is always friendly.”

“Great Pizza and Friendly Service!
I recently visited this pizza shop, and it was amazing! The pizza was so good – everything was delicious. The crust was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The cheese and sauce were flavorful, and the toppings were fresh. I had the combination pizza, garlic pizza, and taco pizza, and they were all perfect.
They have a lot of pizza choices, so you can find something you like. They also have something new and different – a Nutella pizza with strawberries and bananas on top. It’s so delicious! The garlic knots were also really tasty – warm, buttery, and soft.
The staff were friendly and quick. The place has a nice, relaxed vibe, making it great for a meal with friends or family.
I highly recommend this pizza shop if you want tasty food and great service. I’ll definitely go back!”

“Stopped in here for lunch with my family, to start the girl who took our order was very nice and friendly, you order from the bar and find a seat and they bring over your food. Was on the pricey side, a Patty melt, cheeseburger, basket of fries, beer and bloody Mary was 52 bucks, the food was delicious and might bring me back for a second visit. It was a beautiful view looking out to the finely manicured grounds, now some cons, it was extremely loud inside, which made conversation difficult and the worst part was it was full of middle aged golfers that couldn't stop starring at me and my family, like we infiltrated there secret lair, hey golfer guys it is a public restaurant so take your eyes of me and look someplace else. All in all was a nice lunch”

“great service and buffet”

“The food taste much better now than before, I ove the chile relleno and tha taquitos, they are the best in the area, we will come back soon for the Aguas frescas Gratis.”

“The first time I ordered, some extremely rare error had occurred and my takeout order through a meal delivery app wasn't processed (I've never had an issue ordering since this time and I got a full refund from the meal delivery app). When I got there, they explained the issue and seemed very apologetic. I paid at the register and they got to work on my food. When they handed me the bag with my order, they were super appreciative that I was patient and ordered in-person after the error. And they absolutely LOADED my takeout with extra helpings. It was very sweet. I live on my own and it took me maybe 6 meals to get through my order of one meat dish and one noodle dish.
Since returning, they have always greeted me warmly and the environment is just so peaceful to me. It feels like what I saw takeout places were in the movies as a kid. It sits next to a barber shop with a vintage aesthetic and a liquor store with a polite owner.
When I got back into my car one time, the chef was going on his smoke break and just gave me a sincere nod.
I know a lot of this may seem superficial but it's special in its simplicity. The food is good, the people are sweet, and you should order here and have a simple, quiet night.”

“We hadn't been to the Pig in awhile, but stopped in on Friday to have a drink after dinner. The bartender was so much fun we ended up having a few drinks more! She said her name is Ashley, and she made the night for us. She had good suggestions when my wife wanted to try a new drink, and I loved her taste in music. The other patrons who seemed to know her already were very friendly, too. Definitely going back when she works.”

“The coffee is wonderful and the baked goods are amazing.”

“This dive bar is one of my favorites in the area. The pours are long. The cocktails are well crafted. And the prices are unbeatable. Bridgette is my favorite bartender and she offers a reward program for monday nights. See you there!!”

“Great selection. And very, very tasty hot and sour soup.”

“We ordered food for pickup. Food was ready when they said it would be. Their wontons are really good and their vegetable chow mein. I’d highly recommend this place - there are so many Chinese restaurants in the area. This one is worth the drive.”

“Bought a lb. fresh ground decaf. Smells amazing and staff was so friendly. Love that I got a free coffee too!”

“Everything here is great!”

“Love the chorizo breakfast burrito.

Since under new management I've become absolutely addicted to the mini asada tacos. I could eat them every day and I've just about have this last week. So beyond amazing!! Today they also put in a toasted pepper for the first time. So good. Hooked on it now too.”

“Food is always great, hot and freshly made. Awesome portion sizes and really friendly and accommodating staff. Their mango lassi is bomb and everything I’ve ordered has been delicious. 100% recommend!”

“Beautiful place In Carmichael Sacramento”

“1st time getting takeout there. Staff was very nice. Very expensive. Food was ok. Lemon chicken tasted good but the chicken was old, chewy and dry. Sweet and Sour pork was ok and had no pineapple in it which was odd. Chewy and not great tasting pork. Chow mein was good. Broccoli beef was good. Really 3.5 stars so 4 stars os generous. We won't be back. $55 for 4 items is insane. Sorry.”

“Friendly staff with great customer service. Delicious shaved ice. Thank you, Tyler”

“Great pizza, speedy service, and a friendly staff always!”

“Very surly and unpleasant order taker. Not a smile. Lots of glares. Not sure why Saving grace? Great food. Very clean restaurant. Free tortilla chips and salsas.”

“Best wings in town! been going here for years and the food and service is always exellent”

“Being healthy isn’t just something you hope to do one day. We have known for decades that you have to take care of yourself to live long and not cost our country unnecessary money. Jamba is healthy and very good. No excuse!! Do your part and adapt a healthy lifestyle.”

“I usually come to this Jersey Mike’s about once a week and have always had a good experience, but today was the first time things didn’t go well. I spoke with Tatiana on the phone, and she told me to come in and she’d give me two free subs since my order was messed up. When I got there, she said she only meant one, which was half of what I originally ordered.

I’ll still be back because I like Jersey Mike’s overall, but I’ll probably try to avoid coming during that shift.”

“Just had an amazing pizza from them tonight. Love the crust, the sauce is tasty and the pepperoni and sausage had a lot of flavor.”

“Bathroom broke down we were asked to leave”

“Great food wonderful service.. Clean as well...”

“String was found in my chicken caesar salad.”

“We went to this location's drive thru yesterday around 2:30 or so and were told by the person taking orders that there was something wrong with drive thru ordering and to please come inside. I went inside and instantly noticed the workers were slammed which was the real reason they were not taking drive thru orders. The drive thru order taker was needed on the line. I worked food service for about 25 years, including diners, so I understood the real reason the drive thru wasn't working. No big deal. I realized a big part of the problem was that most of the orders were HUGE DoorDash orders. And more Door Dash delivery drivers were coming in constantly. BK simply does not have the staff to handle such a big work load and in the end this will bite them in the butt. It took about 15 minutes before I even got to order. This is not a slam, but a simple fact. There were people on the line freaking out, calling other workers to come in to help, people on the line threatening to walk out because they couldn't handle it. After I finally got my order in it was another 25 minutes as I noticed 4 FAMILIES and a Door Dash delivery guy who order AFTER me got their orders before I got mine. During this time there was a young man who had to leave the burger make station to help package fries and nuggets. I had noticed that he was wearing gloves but had reached into his pocket to get his phone at least 3 times. He became frustrated with the tongs necessary to grab the nuggets, sat it aside and said he was just going to use his hands. As someone who has been ServSafe certified in food safety and sanitation I immediately spoke up and said "Change your gloves, you have had your hands in your pockets at least 3 times." He asked what I said and I repeated. He left the line while removing his gloves and stayed in the office for most the rest of the time I was there. Also, during this 2 workers, Tiera and a male with long dreads, strolled in like an old lady with no sense of urgency while the other workers were panicking to get caught up. Tiera had a large afro popping out about a foot above her visor. Another health violation. She should have a net on her hair if it is not pulled back or covered by a hat. I saw neither of the two go to a hand washing sink before eventually going to help on the line. Another violation. I have nothing against these two employees. Tiera was really nice to me and i'll explain soon. But the manager should have done more managing although I appreciate she was actually helping. The other girl had to run an order out to someone parked and came back with two packs of chicken nuggets in her hand and put them BACK under the heaters. 3rd violation. Once food leaves the line and is bagged it does not go back on the line to be served to someone else. It is to be tossed into the trash. Once the 4th person that ordered after me got their food before me I approached the other girl working the line who took my order but was bagging the food at the time and asked why. She was rightfully exasperated, not at me, but at having skipped me. That's cool, relax, breath, I just want my food. She immediately got my order together and handed it to me. When I got to the car I noticed I had someone elses order along with part of my order, the two Whoppers from a 2'fer coupon. I asked to add cheese and no catchup. I got catchup but no cheese instead. I took them back in and told the girl and she had the guy with dreads make me two new burgers and properly tossed the two wrong burgers in the trash. While waiting Tiera asked if I would like a drink while waiting. She was really nice and apologetic. After receiving the two new burgers I went back to the truck, opened them up and both had no catchup, but only one had cheese. Not willing to go through this again we just sucked it up and went on about our day. I will still order from this establishment in the future. But they either need to get more people or they need to stop accepting Door Dash and other similar orders. It's too much for the sma”

“The baristas were so friendly and welcoming from the drive thru to the window. They gave me recommendations that turned out yummy and I’ll definitely be returning to this location in the near future. 10/10”

“Great little place, it’s not premium Mexican food, but it does fill the belly, my only suggestion is there’s not any diet sodas? Or sugar free drinks aside from water or tea.”

“I come to this restaurant all the time, food comes out fast & I have yet to come across a ‘rude’ worker here ! I got rolled tacos this time & I swear it was the best rolled tacos I’ve ever had in my life , I ate them in 5 minutes flat no kidding !”
