“I'm embarrassed to say this but I grew up in Orangevale and this was my first time here! And all I can say is WOW! I have been missing out! Maria was our server and she was amazing. So nice and attentive. Great service. And the food? I can't find a monte cristo anywhere. It was soooo good! Prices were great and you get so much food! We will definitely be back!“

“Caution ⚠️ the mild is HOT ? & the HOT is the devils! ?. For the majority of people the mild will be the ideal balance between flavor & heat. For the brave souls who dare to try the hot & up! God bless lol yes the hot is only their mid level. They have 2 levels higher & the last one you have to sign a waiver!? all in all the food is definitely delicious! The fries are amazing! The Mac & cheese is MID nothing special but the sliders & the rub (medium) is smacking lick your fingers good! Didn't try their slaw.“

“Looking for dinner while my flat tire was being fixed at Costco. The tire guy said this was a good place, so I took a chance. WOW! Had a Double Combo (with fries). Both were excellent, flavorful and a little spicy. Not sure what makes this a slider and not a burger, I could go either way. Perfect meal, didn’t have to wait too long and it came out fresh and hot. I’ll stop again when I come this way and try something else. Pretty sure I won’t be disappointed…so glad I passed over McD’s, Arby’s, and Carl’s!“

“I had the fortune of stumbling upon this little gem. When we came in we could hear somebody singing from the kitchen it was really cute. The bartender created a seasoned and very down-home vibe. When I mentioned my liking for IPAs, he recommended one that I might enjoy. I asked about getting some corned beef, the chef personally came out and said he would make me a side order, even though it's typically not served solo. The pub has a super accommodating, old-school, down-home vibe with a modern upgraded look. I would definitely visit again. The corned beef was delicious, the beer selection was great, and my friend enjoyed a well-made Tequila Sunrise. Looking forward to returning soon. Although my pictures only capture the bar area, it was completely full, with a few couples enjoying lunch during our visit.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian salad options. Macaroni and cheese mozzarella sticks...“

“$14.99 PER LB!! The hostess did her best to explain the process to us but we missed this important detail which cost us a $40 meal per person. Concept is pretty awesome. Walk in, grab tongs and a plastic bowl. Fill the bowl with your favorite veggies, meats, toppings. Get to the cashier, scale your bowl for total weight, pick your broth and off the bowl goes for cooking! They have lots of vegetable options and meat/fish balls. It's an incredible selection! House bone broth is really good. The tomato broth was my favorite. The flavors are delicious and tastes like home cooking. Really pleased with the quality of the meal. There's a self serve dip station!!“

“This is by far some of the best vegan food I've ever tried. My non vegan partner said he wouldn't be able to tell it wasn't vegan. We got the Mac and cheese, jackfruit tacos, spicy chicken sandwich and animal fries. Everything was delicious!We picked up ourselves and the parking lot is small but easy enough to walk up to the window and get our food.“

“First off, this is an amazing place. A gem indeed. This is actual cooking, a singular enterprise by one owner, and that certainly deserves respect in a town whose food scene is being regularly bought out by investors that treat their businesses as just that, an investment, and not an addition to the neighborhood & culture. Yes, it is a small place, and in a nook which really only immediate locals usually end up at, easy to miss. But also simply perfect when you'd like to feel less-than-bombarded in a town with half a million people where much of the homey-ness is missing. It has a familiar ambiance that also feels well-traveled, with a nautical feel. The service is on point! The owner is super friendly & generous. It is never awkward to pick up to go here. My only alternative input would be to get more sustainable containers for to-go purposes. Enough about the place, more about the food, which is a welcome and unique style in the Sacramento Greek food scenery. The options are simple, ample, and easily suited to different dietary needs & preferences (gluten-free, vegetarian, no cheese for vegan). The go-to for my friends is the Lamb Gyro, which is truly deserving of the term Gigantic. The proportions of filling are not finely cut or chopped, adding to the hugeness of the gyro, which is more like an entire pita bread with at least 1-2 cucumbers and a huge portion of perfectly marinated protein. Being vegan, I enjoyed the dolmathes, hummus, beans, & of course the massive pillowy pita bread, which is insanely better than the kind I've found at the store, it's super fresh. Definately if you're in the area & passing by, try it out. Just check the hours first!“
