50 Best Salad Restaurants near Gold River

“We stopped into Zinfandel California Cuisine around 1:00 PM on a Wednesday, mid-summer. The place was quiet—likely because not many people are thinking about pasta in the early afternoon heat—but that made for a calm, relaxing atmosphere. We were in and out in about 30 minutes, so service was efficient without feeling rushed.

We were initially drawn in by a big sign outside advertising half-off appetizers and pizzas, but unfortunately, that deal is no longer offered. A bit of a letdown, so definitely double-check if you’re going in for promos.

We ordered:

Kid’s cheese pizza – $10

Fusilli pasta with pesto, broccoli, carrots, and cauliflower

Fresh house bread (we had to ask for more—it was that good)

The pizza was a mixed bag: I personally didn’t love it—too cheesy and not enough dough for my liking—but my friend genuinely enjoyed it and would order it again. The pasta was fresh, flavorful, and cooked just right. Watching the staff prep ingredients in the open kitchen added a nice touch of transparency and freshness to the experience.

Service stood out—our waiter was funny, friendly, and helpful. Food came out quickly, but not at the cost of quality. The bread especially deserves a shoutout—freshly baked, warm, and comforting.

Total was $28 after tax, which felt fair for the portion and quality. Overall, it’s a cozy spot with great service and a chill vibe. Probably livelier on weekends or during dinner hours, but still worth a visit—just don’t go chasing that sign out front.“

“Is one awesome place to go to. You get to pick what you want on your pizza for one price and they are baked in a big old brick oven and they are delicious. I've been going to blaze Pizza for a long time and I loved it every time and I walk out with a smile on my face and a happy tummy. I would recommend everybody to go there you will not be disappointed. I will be a fateful customer for a long time and I'm already 68 and I'm not giving up anytime soon so visit it and you will be satisfied I guarantee. I love pizza and it's cooked just the way I love it every single time with no complaints“

“great food. Great service“

“First time here and I’ll be back! Beef kabab was tender and flavorful, with house-made sauces that make the rice sing. Hospitable staff, complimentary tea if you dine in, and overall—delicious! Hot tip: order online if you’re in a rush, kababs take time. Extra bonus: it’s a family-run spot, not a chain, so every bite supports local.“

“Riley’s on Sutter isn’t just a restaurant – it’s a place overflowing with heart, soul, and genuine connection. Back in December, my family was dining there when the owner came over and shared his story behind Riley’s, a tribute to a beloved Labrador who changed his life. He took the time to truly connect with us, and we left thinking, “Wow, this guy is different. He cares.” Fast forward seven months, and I reached out to him with a heartbreaking story about our extended family’s red fox lab, Wrigley, who we lost suddenly and tragically. I hoped he could do something small to honor Wrigley, but his response overwhelmed us. He listened deeply, reacted with empathy, and went above and beyond to honor this pup in a way that brought us comfort and healing. Riley’s on Sutter has now become a special place for our family to gather and remember Wrigley. Beyond the incredible kindness of the owner, the food is phenomenal and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. We’ve interacted with several staff members, all of whom were exceptionally nice—and yes, they all seem to be dog lovers! I even joked with one employee that it must be a job requirement. Thank you to everyone at Riley’s on Sutter for creating such a meaningful and memorable place. We are forever grateful.“

“I was so was looking to the opening of El tapitio. We moved to Paradise Ca. We would come just for my yummy Margarita and food. It was a treat. The staff is sweet and kind. Ivan is a great Manager.“

“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! 🌮“

“New Owners! Delicious Persian and Pakistani (alternate pages of menu). We had their paneer appetizer). It had big cubes of soft Pakistani cheese in a tomato based cream sauce with finely chopped ginger. Fabulous. We also enjoyed a grilled eggplant with a Persian yogurt cultured from sheep and goat milks. The butter chicken was exceptional: he grills his chicken, chops it, then adds the juicy chunks of meat into his delectable sauce. His ground beef kabob was juicy and tender. I enjoyed an inhouse, freshly made mango lassi. Wow! We have enough leftover to enjoy a shared lunch tomorrow.“

“Great food and great service! Yum! Emma was extremely personable , helpful and happy. Emma made our dining experience the best! Our dog Doc loved her too! Thanks Emma“

“excellent tasting quality beef, fantastic rice, fresh salad, tasty baklava, generous portions, clean kitchen, friendly people!“

“Great customer service from being greeted at the door to being seated by all staff. Great food. I'll be back real soon.“

“I can't believe this place has been opened for a year and I am just now trying it. In 3 days, my wife and I have had the BLT, Chipotle Turkey Club, Gyro wrap, and Falafel wrap. Bread and Falafels are made in-house by the owner, Ramzi. Super nice guy. This is notched on as one of my favorite places already.“

“The food was very delicious.“

“First time here and will definitely be back. Friendly staff and good food. Great environment.“

“omg!!!! the food is beyond delicious!!!fresh n great tasting!! welcoming and cozy atmosphere..I love the decor and the vibe...I had a albacore tuna sandwich..highly recommended I will be coming back..what a great start to my birthday weekend“

“Highly recommend this place! Food was delicious and service was amazing. Great beer, seafood and steak! 🫶 we loved it 👍“

“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).“

“Exceptional thin crust pizza! I got a vegetarian with extra cheeses and no regular sauce underneath and a pesto drizzle on top and my husband got the pulled pork pizza! Our new go to pizza place from now on. Perfection!“

“Love it! Food tastes so good and flavorful. We came for lunch on Saturday but it took them less than 15 minutes to make all these dishes. Cucumber salad was refreshing and crunchy! Green beans were so yummy, fried rice had a lot of eggs and it’s delicious!!! Be back soon ❤️‍🔥“

“Today was my first time going to this place, there was two orders ahead of my order. Each order is made fresh when the customer comes in, not like other sandwich shop where they make the sandwich as soon as it’s called in. There’s a big difference of a sandwich made fresh and a sandwich that sits for awhile. The employee has a great attitude, the owner came in and he was polite and easy to talk to.
The atmosphere is perfect, the music is just right, the seats and tables are clean and so is the toilet area.“

“Great quality food and excellent service! Will be returning.“

“Amazing Wine and very chic!!! Love it! One of my top places to go! Try it! Located in Granite Bay. CHIC! CHIC!!“

“I recently visit Prime Gyro and Grill, and I want to share my experience. The staff, Sayed and Mohammad, are very professional and respectful. They make you feel welcome and valued.

The food is excellent—both the taste and quality are remarkable. I ordered the Philly cheesesteak, and it was wonderful! You can feel the freshness in every bite, and the flavors are truly amazing.

If you are searching for ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️halal restaurant in Sacramento or Placer County, this place is great choice. The prices are fair, considering the high quality of the food. I enjoyed my time there so much that I will definitely return.

I recommend Prime Gyro and Grill to everyone. Give it a try, and you will want to come back again!“

“Best Tacos in Rancho Cordova!!! Fresh ingredients and friendly staff. 5 Stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Got the pizza kit tonight and it turned out amazing! Lots of fun for the kid and the adults! Thank you Ciro’s Pizza Cafe!!“

“This place has amazing customer service, and the staff are very professional. The prices are also quite affordable, especially since they include a free salad and a breadstick. That said, I found the spaghetti lacking in flavor and a bit tasteless, though the salad was quite good. I’m giving it 4 stars mainly because of the excellent customer service—otherwise, the taste doesn’t really suit me.“

“You can't beat Cornerstone! The food is always good and hot. The servers are fun and remember you. Just like the old days.“

“Bruce loved his sandwich and the shady patio“

“Super quick, friendly service!“

“Just finished dinner. Had salmon with asparagus and roasted potato. It was excellent. The service couldn't t have been better as my water glass was never empty. refilled 3 or 4 times. Would definitely recommend.“

“great service & food affordable too so glad to have a wonderful option in this area“

“Ordered some pizza for take out, it was delicious. We had to try the wings and it comes with some homemade ranch which was great, and we also tried some salad and pasta. My kids loved the chicken alfredo pasta...it was basic to me but still good. They have many other options for you to try...next time I will get a few different dishes to try out!“

“We love the crepes here! The green salad is great with the balsamic dressing!“

“Can't find any reason to give less than 5 stars. Friendly service, fresh tastey sandwiches, store always clean.
My only comment in general, goes for just about every good establishment, it's very expensive. $30 just for 2 people, 2 sandwiches, nothing else. If it weren't for that, I would frequent them several times weekly.“

“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 .“

“NYPizza is the absolute best, not just in this town, but anywhere around. Every single time we order, the pizza is perfect: fresh, hot, and loaded with flavor. And on top of that, they don’t just have the best pizza, they’ve also got great prices. It really is the best pizza place in the area and the quality is off the charts.

What makes it even better are the people. The crew here is amazing! Friendly, fast, and they always treat you like family. You can tell they care about their food and their customers, and that makes all the difference.

This is the kind of place you look forward to coming back to, and I wouldn’t go anywhere else for pizza. NY Pizza sets the bar, and everyone else is just trying to catch up.“

“Fantastic food great beer wonderful service we will be back with friends Real hidden Gem 5 stars“

“Amazing pizza!! They have some great paninis as well. Happy Hour from 3-6 Monday through Friday... Check it out!!“

“The burgers and side portions are large and very tasty, good selection of beer. I’ve lived in the area for 43 years and visit a couple times a year, however not sure if I’ll be going back, $75 for my wife and I to have burgers and a beer is a little ridiculous. Burgers and Brew on R St, has Niman Ranch Beef and the bacon jalapeño burgers are $3.50 less than a regular burger at Dukes. I want to support local but $21 burgers and $10 beers….not the go to.“

“My go to spot in folsom ! Really great food at a reasonable price. Not only is food great but staff super nice and really go out of their way!!

Vegetarian options: there are veggie sandwhiches, mac and chesse, chesee sandwich, and tomatoe soup.“

“The pizza is pretty good. Better than the majority these days. Atmosphere is a hole in the wall local neighborhood favorite. Prices are a bit high so I'd expect more from the pizza but I can't honestly give it a 4 as it's a solid 4.5. Service was great and welcoming. The pizza balls were delicious. Don't eat them cold as they taste like bread instead of pizza dough. If I can eat a cold pizza the next day, then it's somewhere I'll come back. The pizza was good the next day but the pizza balls weren't good like they were when they were hot. Overall a good pizza and I'll probably be back.“

“Two days ago was in the store with my husband Michael - I echo his praise and add the following comments:

Always allowed to use the restroom so don’t know what the one guy on Yelp is complaining about. It is well documented that the store closes at 8pm, and on this night, they didn’t rush us out even though we were still eating at 8pm. They let us stay while they cleaned the store for the night so we could finish eating. My husband wanted a meatball sandwich. Thank goodness the employee let us know that at that time of night, right before closing, the meatballs were frozen so my husband can change his mind. The meatballs during the day probably have the chance to marinade with the sauce…they would taste awful if used frozen. As for hygiene, the store is immaculate AND they wash their hands before handling food. I even saw gloves in use. One lady on Yelp complained about people from the Middle East. The absolute irrelevance of national origin, and the nature of her comments, suggests racism. If by Middle East she is trying to infer Muslim religion, then she should understand how important being a good host is to a Muslim…I have NEVER been treated so well as I am treating by Muslims while on travel. With regard to the two men I always see on duty at the store, one may be a Muslim (irrelevant, if he is) but I doubt the other is a Muslim; he wears his hair like he is a Sikh (not Muslim) which would suggest he is from Punjab, the north of India, which is in South Asia, not the Middle East. This potential Punjabi gentleman is very friendly to me and my husband, every visit.

When I saw the store is immaculate, I mean spotless. the table and floors, even behind the counter, are always clean, the trash in the bin not overflowing, and there are no bad smells. I am posting this on Google because the review on Yelp was so unfair. This place, the food, and these people are great. We drive a considerable distance just to order food with them.“

“These are some of the best sandwiches I have had in the area! The bread is always nice and soft, all the ingredients are fresh and taste great. Then 2 for deal is insane. Small sub with a salad. Salads are huge and taste fantastic. I have a kid that would get the hot Bobbie every day if they could, she loves thanksgiving and this brings her joy. And if I am being honest I could probably eat at capriottis every day also. Only thing that's not great is the parking, but that's totally out of their hands, it's a new community and the restaurants located here are popular“

“Honest truth - this was my first Beach Hut Deli (BHD) experience. My wife insisted on lunch to go. Beautiful location. Clean restaurant and the restaurant was very cool and comfortable with outside temperatures close to 100 degrees! The BHD had plenty of workers taking orders, preparing great sandwiches, being amazing with customers, smiling, and I really enjoyed the ambiance. I ordered the Marsey Nachos, The High Tide sandwich, and The Malibu. WOW! Folks, these sandwiches were as big as any meal I've ever had. So much value for the money ?. Please take yourself and family to the BHD on Eureka Road, Roseville, California. Next time, my wife and me are sharing a sandwich. I think I'm in a food coma...soooo good! ?“

“Feels like an upgrade to willies burger that was here prior! Burgers were great, we got the double with lettuce and tomato. Really fresh, the buns are delicious. My kids got the grilled cheese in the PBN J and they each enjoy both.
The service was great and the food came out quickly, which is important with two young kids. They also have the QR code at the table to order from your phone, which is also a nice feature with small children.
The indoor is basically the same as Willies, but they’ve done a nice job upgrading the outdoor space. We do miss the kids toys, but there’s space for them to roam around and small trees for them too enjoy trying to climb in.
Will definitely be a weekend favorite!“

“Great Indian fusion pizza. Save yourself some money and call in your order rather then using their website since it adds a bit more to the cost due to third party processing. This tip was given to us by them when we picked up our pizzas. Very friendly staff, quick service, great food. Highly recommended.“

“The food was excellent and our server was awesome!

However, the gentleman who works at the front counter and the woman who sat us didn't seem like they were having a good evening. No, hello or how are you even after I asked them how they were doing. It almost made you feel as if you were a nuisance/annoyed they had to deal with speaking to you therefore it didn't feel welcoming at all. We were seated quickly as it was around 7pm on a Saturday and not overly busy.

Our server changed that non welcoming feeling. She immediately greeted us with a smile and was very friendly and helpful. I really wish I remembered her name but I hadn't planned on leaving a review until I got a yelp notification asking me to do so.

We will definitely be back because of the service she provided and all 3 of us in our party enjoyed our food. If the food hadn't been good and our server had been like the first two employees, we wouldn't be open to dining here again, so both of those things saved our experience.

I forgot how large the portions and the leftovers were nice to take home and enjoy the next day.“

“His pie here is just as wonderful as it is when we go to the city and get it. So many different crusts and choices Tonys ( slice house) is a must! 🍕 🍕“

“great pho, awesome service..will be returning to try more. highly suggest egg roll deluxe“

“Delicious hot pastrami sandwich 😋“
