“I go to this restaurant like twice a month. The meat and the side dishes are great! The staff are cool and I always feel welcome. Its the best meat you will eat around here.”
“We just wanted to post how much we enjoyed dinner tonight. We were a party of four, I had your Dine Elk Grove special dinner, my wife the sausage, the other couple the burger and Sauerbraten. We all enjoyed both our meals and the beers! Typical, fresh fried German food, excellent sides and a great selection of beers! The strudel with whipped cream was the way to end the meal. The highlight was truly our server, Kylee! She has a larger than life personality and was really fun to banter with. She really made the experience fun….we’ll be back for sure, most likely on a Wednesday night Which we understand is the one night a week she works. If in Elk Grove, give them a try. It was a fun experience! Walt Elk Grove, CA”

“Food was good. Complaint though about the fact they wouldn’t write us separate tickets. 😡 another way to gouge the public because they planned on us rounding up when it was $37.80 to $38 even and there was a nearly 5 dollar surcharge that they didn’t explain. Not really a good experience”
“Me and my friends had a hangout here yesterday to celebrate their birthday and we ordered the BBQ chicken pizza and the plain cheese pizza and it was delicious. The crust was soft and even after I took it home there were still cheese pulls and tasted fresh out of the oven I am definitely coming back again!”

“They were open later than our normal acai place, so we decided to give this place a try... I won't be needing the other Acai place, this will be my go to place instead. more vegan options, better toppings (loved the cashew crunch typing), and they didn't charge extra for nut-butters. Acai bowl was one of the best I've had.”
“If you need sambal and meat dipping sauce, this place is it. Their sauce is yummy. The sauce is comparable to Blue House. I enjoyed the plain brisket and loved the marinated rib fingers....so tender. Enjoyed all the sides and the Melona ice cream. Everyone was friendly. You can request for half orders. This place will be my new kbbq place.”

“First time here, I had the Xtreme burger, it had a nice little spicy kick to it. Delicious! French fries are nice and crispy. I love the small paper bag the fries were in, fits perfect in my cupholder of my truck. Took a chance on the baklava and it was delicious! I’m definitely going back to try some of their other plates.”
“Sal’s Kabob Gyro Grill is hands down the best Mediterranean food in town! Our family has been coming here for years, and every visit feels like coming home. Sal, the owner, is always so welcoming and kind to us. He treats every guest like family, and it makes the whole experience even more special.
Now, let’s talk about the food—absolute perfection! The lamb kabobs are cooked to juicy perfection, full of flavor, and just melt in your mouth. We also love the chicken shawarma; it’s seasoned so well, and the garlic sauce that comes with it is heavenly. The gyros are packed with fresh ingredients, and don’t even get me started on the hummus! Creamy, rich, and paired with the best warm pita bread you’ll ever taste.
If you’re looking for authentic, delicious Mediterranean cuisine with an owner who genuinely cares about his customers, look no further than Sal’s. We’re lucky to have found this gem!”
“Went on a Sunday around closing time and it was pretty chill. The pan dulce was yummy, they serve it warm. My fave was the pink one which is chocolate filled. Prices are fair. We tried the green smoothie and the strawberry/banana one and the dulce de leche latte.
Service was fine, cashier/server was quiet but he got out food out quickly.
Will definitely come back when their kitchen is open and try more menu items.”
“By far the best Indian food in the area! We came in and had butter chicken, Tikka masala and naan. First off the place is clean and the staff was nice. Everything was amazing 😍 we can't wait to try more.”
“Fast service. Our waiter & his team were friendly, attentive, and fast to get our food out. Vienna the Supervisor and our waiter checked on us often, which my party of 8 appreciated very much. It was cool to see the robo-waiter/waitress, but there’s no substitute yet for excellent customer service from humans. Will be coming back to this location. Thank you for a great dinner experience Elk Grove staff 🤙🏽
Parking: Clean bathrooms 🤙🏽”

“Gluten free options for a lot of the regular items. Sweet and sour chicken gluten free was beyond good. Rice noodle with chicken gluten free was beyond good! Honey walnut shrimp gluten free was beyond good. I look forward to returning and trying the gluten free general tso chicken.”
“I came here in accident, I had meant to go somewhere else but typed in the wrong name. I’m so glad I did. It’s a family own and operated place. The food is amazing. The daughter was the waitress. The mom came by to chat. The dad was the cook and came to say hi and told us a joke. I’d never expect that. Especially in America in 2025. And the food was SOOOOO good. It was truly such a happy accident coming here. I’ll be back :)”
“I had the pleasure of dining here last night. The service was okay. A little slow for not many guest in the restaurant. We ordered several dishes including the whole crab.. The sirloin and asparagus was great however it was a little red for me. The fried rice was the star of the dinner. The crab was a little slimy and the sauce was not so great. The green beans were amazing.”
“Worth the wait. Friendly staff. Food comes out quickly. Excellent food.”

“The Market inside Sky River Casino is a huge mixed restaurant area like a food court, but much better in the services and the shared dining areas.I tried most of the many food choices in the Market. Some are very good, like the hot chicken sandwich, pizzas, Vietnamese pho, and cheeseburger. They're very yummy and the portions are generous. A few items I tried will have room for improvement. For example, the prime rib sandwich, wonton noodles soup, and chowder bread bowl. But I do enjoy most of the food there.Every restaurant worker in the Market is very friendly and attentive. The cashiers are very patient and helpful if you help to order or need a recommendation from them. The cleaning workers are very polite as well. The customer service employees will come to your table to make sure you've enjoyed your meals. The Market has an excellent service even compared to any restaurant.The shared dining areas are almost one of the best shared dining rooms I have seen. It is comfortable, clean, and quiet.The Market has so many different styles of restaurants in there. I still need more time to try them all. I'm sure you'll find some dishes you like!
Parking: Finding parking spaces in the back parking lot is much easier than in the parking lot at the front of the casino.”

“The Mix Up food truck! I ordered the kabob plate of a ribeye kabob and a lamb kabob. Mmmm, the kabobs were delicious. Big, hunky cuts of tender, flavorful meat; all grilled to perfection. The folks working the truck were fantastic. Big, fun personalities.
What initially caught my eye was the very dramatic graphic design on the truck. It looked like a vintage movie poster with a woman in Mexican traditional garb and Arab man individually both looking contemplatively into the distance. As I walked closer, I found out they were selling Arab and Mexican food with their signature dish being their famous ribeye kabob.
I ordered the kabob plate. It came with two kabobs, rice, salad,hummus and pita bread. $22. Yup, that price point may have you thinking twice but I was able to get two meals out of this plate. The kabob serving size was huge. I chose the ribeye and lamb kabobs. Chicken was the other option. They weren't stingy on the protein serving. The meats are actual cuts of filets, not ground meat. It was tender, flavorful with a great grill to it. Instead of rice, I asked for double the salad. The salad was fresh tasting and vibrant looking. The hummus was packed with a garlicky punch.”
“Great coffee, fantastic staff, quick service.
This "Dutchies" location has exactly one drawback, navigating the ingress/egress of access. Where are these cones going? Can you turn in off El Camino, can you not? LOL.
Despite being located immediately across from El Camino High School with heavy traffic intermittently throughout the day and students bombarding the staff regularly in large groups, staff are fast and efficient, upbeat and busting with cheerful, perky, customer service forward attitudes. Occasionally, they'll have the music flowing, BUT it's at a tolerable volume. Other locations, Woodland, for example, crank up the volume on the exterior facility music so loudly, you can't hear others inside your own vehicle speak to you even with your windows up. I like loud music but that's ridiculous.
At this location, the staff ALWAYS get my order correct, always offer "sip stoppers" to prevent spilling, offer carry trays when appropriate, and ask me, "How's your day going?"
All in all, you get great fresh coffee delights served with a friendly smile at a decent price quickly. That's how it's supposed to be.
Vegetarian options: Oatmilk, almond milk, all the milks available!
Dietary restrictions: Several sugar free options available and ways to cut the carbs.

Kid-friendliness: Hot chocolate, fruity selections.
Wheelchair accessibility: Drive thru or wheel up to a window!”
“First time eating here and I was blown away on how good and flavorful the dishes were. It really felt like we were in Japan with each bite. The service was also immaculate! I didn’t catch her name but our server was super attentive and nice. I can’t wait to come back next time and hopefully we can do a video together!”

“Outstanding food and service. I grew up in North Beach area of San Francisco eating at Caesar's, Little Joe's, Capps, U.S. Restaurant, Columbus and others. Brick House Italian options rivals each of those legendary restaurants. Minestrone is the best! Pasta dishes are tasty and plentiful. Highly recommend. Geno, thanks for stopping by our table and greeting us, you are your staff are doing an great job.”
“Fabulous food, even more fabulous service. We sat at the bar because they were so busy. The bartender was awesome. Drinks were very tasty, and she was totally on top of her bar. Drinks were done very quickly, and food was as well. Only gave 4 stars for food and atmosphere because I wanted to show that the bartender deserved a higher rating.”
“Came back last Saturday and tried three more soups: C4 beef tripe hot pot rice noodle was delicious, recommended. A18 beef slice with kimchi was decent. Last one, A9, golden hot and sour was ok.
Nice, clean restaurant, friendly service, decent food. Currently have promotions going, recommended. The rice noodles were smooth and tasty. Tried two broth, the C3, pickled cabbages and fish, was creamy and delicious, recommended. The A14, spicy beef brisket was decent, at bit too spicy for myself, not sure if they have the option to adjust the spice level. It wasn't asked during ordering. Will be back to try another items.”

“If I could give more stars I would.
I ordered from this place thinking it was a different place. However, I consider this a happy mistake, this Japanese restaurant is by far one of the best I've had in a while. My only complaint is that they were closer to my residence. (Lincoln) You can REALLY taste the care and dedication put into each dish. I hope to visit again sometime soon.”
“Thank you for 🙏 @phobistro916 for your generosity on providing #sutterer staff with your delicious pork and chicken banh mi.. thank you for taking care of us, health care workers so we can take care of our community....we appreciate it very much ❤️... #healthcareworkers #vietnamesefood #stayhome #thankyou #essentialworkers #banhmi #sutterhealth”
“For one, it was open. Secondly, they did their best to seat us since it was late. Though the best part was that the food was good. I do have to add that some of the pricing was high, although the taste basically made up for it. But, the biggest downfall was that the portions were small.”
“Stopped in for a late lunch driving up the five and was very surprised at the quality. The rice was a bit firm but it was 3pm on a Thursday so that’s not unexpected. Great service and very clean.”
“Some Coworkers and I came to try it out and we definitely enjoyed the vibe here. The options for a flight of their beers was great, definitely have some good choices. Sure theirs kids around but they aren't bothering nobody love the the family friendly atmosphere. Some more of us will be coming back soon! Food is good too btw.”
Cheap Eats
“Of all the times I’ve been there, Bad bakers has some amazing donuts -or- really below average donuts, depending on which ones you get. Very hit and miss. I’ve had donuts I thought were a five and donuts I thought were a 3 at best. I think it’s a place worth trying and highly recommend the Ube flavors. Overall, it’s a fun experience, a little gimmicky a d worth giving a couple of tries if you’re in the area looking for donuts.”
“Hands down the BEST! I want to personally thank Mackenzie & the staff this morning for taking my last minute urgent breakfast order for our Wilton Rancheria Tribal Council. Efficient, fast, delicious!!! We will definitely be ordering from you again! Thank you ?⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“I have been coming to the Elk Grove location of 5 or 6 years and it is the best. The employees are very nice, and the sandwiches are always delicious! They are the best of the best sandwiches by far! The Northshore is my favorite. The sandwiches are very fresh, have a lot of meat and produce and are well presented open face (see photo). Look at how much meat and produce there is compared to the amount of bread. The owner (I think her name is Lea) is very nice, very welcoming, and provides excellent customer service. I am always extremely satisfied when I go there. Great job, Lea!”
“Love this place. Fresh ingredients and some of the best sushi rolls in town.”
“The best Shabu in San Jose and located in the perfect part of San Jose in Japantown, we love coming here to eat Shabu, it is so delicious. I highly recommend it *****five stars the owner Richard treat’s us great with so much hospitality, we just feel so welcomed and will continue to frequent his establishment.”
“Kintaro is my go to place when I feel eating Japanese food for the last 5 years.”
“Really really good pizza. One of my favorites. Owner is really cool. And really good service as far as the atmosphere it's not really a sit-down place but they make pizzas that are good, quick and at a good price. They also apparently have oven ready pizzas never got it but I'm sure it's just as good.”
“Great teas and I mean like actual tea. While I do like their blended drinks (Avocado Smoothie and Mango), their teas are actually refreshing and you can taste the tea. I’m a little bit different than most when it comes to milk tea, but if you like milk teas or boba, those are also good here too!
Also their daily specials and happy hours are a plus as well!”
“For some reason it won’t let me NOT RECOMMEND! Very bad customer service, they charged almost $70 for tips and didn’t even say “Thank you”. We had to literally yell for service, the table next to us was serviced by a girl and she did took care of her table, I wouldn’t recommend spending your money here, first and last time. We spent almost $500, and not worth it, not coming back”
“Lol. Gotta laugh at some of the reviews people leave who don’t really know sushi. Love this place. Sushi is some of the freshest around. LOVE the spicy tuna and kama shou. Service was awesome. Both our habachi chef and server were fantastic. Finally took my husband and son and this is now their favorite Japanese restaurant.”
“Denise J. Has great communication skills and helped break down the monthly pass! Will be seeing my daughter and I regularly! Thank you again denise! ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐”
“they are scamming me. they charged my account pre-tip, then charged my account again with tip.”
“Excellent customer service and Excellent food. food was very tasty. ..”
“Sky River is the best I am 73 Years old and I always have a great time when I’m there the people are always friendly and welcoming I have to walk with a walker and there is always plenty of room”
“I love their food! Soo good!! Every time! I’ve never even been slightly disappointed with my food from here.”
“I recently went to one of their Summer Concert Series with a few friends. It was my first time here, and I’m definitely coming back! The venue is beautiful, right off the freeway in Elk Grove. There’s plenty of shade, so it’s super comfortable even in the summer heat. The concert series is amazing. They have a variety of music, food trucks, boutique shopping, and even ice cream! They didn’t skimp on any details here; even their bathrooms are aesthetically pleasing and clean! You can bring your own food and non-alcoholic beverages to the concert. Since it was my first time, we brought some food and chairs, but we noticed people even brought coolers and tables. Next time, I’ll be more prepared! The sparkling rose was amazing, and their special sangria was to die for! Despite living an hour away, they’ve definitely found a returning customer in me!”
“ordered a 32 piece and were not disappointed! got Nashville hot and santa fe. Nashville wasn't very hot but still tasty. wings were great size and cooked perfectly. so juicy. fries also good. just needed a tad more seasoning. 8 out of 10 will order again!”
“Visited this location during my short trip to Sunny California. I normally order Wing Stop of BW3’s but I figured I’d try someone new. I really enjoyed the lemon pepper and I absolutely loved the fries.”
“We were extremely impressed with the menu and drink options as well as the neat atmosphere of the restaurant. The staff (all male waiters) were friendly and helpful explaining items on the menu and also made recommendations. The food was made to order, served nice and hot, naan was delicious and fresh; rice and appetizers great. Our overall experience there was fantastic! We will continue going there for more menu selections.”
“Have been to this restaurant over 20 times over the years. Staff is always attentive and friendly. Food is great 90% of the time. Kids love it, the show the cooks put on is great.”
“For the most part the food was tasty. It was a bit quiet with roughly 15 patrons total, eating an early dinner.
The Peking ribs were a bit sweet and slightly overcooked. The shrimp and beef dishes, along with the noodles were savory.
The hot and sour soup was very delicious.”
“This pizza place is really a wonderful experience! I would highly recommend the mini churros and the cheesy breadsticks. You will not be disappointed! Love the food, service, and ambiance.”
“Best mountain mikes in elk grove(waterman) Bring all my sweet honeys here. ❤️ Best pizza! Best salad bar! Never disappointed when I come here.”
“Wow. So glad I stumbled across this place, I never heard if it before today.
I eat at a lot of smokehouse places, all over.
This is top tier! Don't sleep on the elote as a side.
Plus, they give you fun coloring sheets and markers!”
“I don't normally write reviews, but I had to commend this place. I came in with two clients who have intellectual disabilities for their lunch buffet, and the service was phenomenal! One of my clients is very particular about his pizza, and the bearded staff member ensured he was well taken care of.”
“Was very good but freezing inside. Felt like the heat wasn’t on. Food was delicious. We shared Spicy ramen & a bento box with Pork tongotsu & shrimp tempura.”
“Great place to bring the family and have a nice dinner. We celebrated my son’s 24th birthday!”

“This place is exactly as you would expect from an Asian late night bar type of restaurant.
The food was surprisingly good in terms of less Korean sweet flavoring in there food. Which is a plus in my book. Will definitely be a turn off for others.
The only downside is the price to portion ratio. It is some of the worse I have seen.”
“Red Robin has fallen. The restaurant was... dingy the table sticky. Which is ironic because they were basically empty at a evening setting on a weekend. The little table pay machine missing. Ironically.
The food was actually amazing which is shocking considering the last 3 times before ive been to a red robin it was horrible. 25 percent?
The wait staff because it was empty hovered at the wait station which was 4 feet from my table. This location is janky..”
“Gluten free options for a lot of the regular items. Sweet and sour chicken gluten free was beyond good. Rice noodle with chicken gluten free was beyond good! Honey walnut shrimp gluten free was beyond good. I look forward to returning and trying the gluten free general tso chicken.”

“This is the place in Sky River Casino, open 24 hours and 7 days a week if you want a sandwich or salad. Get something to drink.
Global Eats is a perfect restaurant for people who stay late in the casino. I have tried the Asian Chicken Salad, which is very fresh and delicious. The dining area is very comfortable too.”
