“Great breakfasts and fast services and good coffee.“

“Extremely clean and welcoming place, and the food is top-notch. I had the combination platter, beef platter, and chicken gyro—each one was fresh and packed with flavor. Staff was friendly and helpful. Great value for the portion size, and don’t skip the Dubai chocolate strawberry. Don’t miss out on this place!“

“Shout out to La Placita ! I think it’s been about 5 to 7 years since I’ve been to the restaurant. My family and I have been eating there for over 20+years . I can’t tell you how excited I was to see some friendly faces still there. The food was off the hook like they’ve never skipped a beat. Same excellent service and same excellent food.“

“Great food & beer. Friendly staff. Great vibe. Seasonal specials will keep us coming back but the pasta and pizza today were perfect!“

“🥟🥟🥟 Clay Oven Indian Cuisine – Orangevale 🥟🥟🥟

If you’re looking for the BEST Indian food in Orangevale, look no further than Clay Oven Indian Cuisine (8807 Greenback Ln, Orangevale, CA 95662)! This new gem is absolutely amazing, and the Punjabi owners are a delight to meet. Priya, the manager, goes above and beyond to make every guest feel welcome. 🌟

We started with the samosas, and wow – they were on another level! Hot and crispy on the outside, perfectly spiced filling inside, and that magical “time release” effect where the flavor hits you a few seconds after the first bite… OMG, pure heaven! 🥟✨

Next up, the Aloo tikis – so good I finished two in one go! 🥟🔥 And let me just say, the Tamarind sauce deserves an Oscar award 🎬🏆 – tangy, rich, and the perfect complement to every bite.

To end on a sweet note, we tried the Mango Lassi 🥭🥤 – creamy, refreshing, and absolutely hit it out of the park. Each dish was so authentic it reminded me of the dhabas back in Punjab! 🇮🇳💛

I can’t wait to come back and try the rest of the menu. Please do yourself a favor and check out this amazing local restaurant. Best Indian food in Orangevale, hands down! 🥟🔥🥟🔥🥟“

“❤⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We ordered the Family Meal from O’Connor’s to sample a bit of everything—1/2 lb Tri-Tip and Brisket, two half chickens, garlic mashed potatoes, tri-tip chili, garlic bread, and BBQ sauce—and everything was fantastic! The chicken had a flavorful dry rub, and the skin was perfectly crispy while the meat stayed incredibly juicy. The tri-tip was tender and packed with flavor, and the brisket had a rich, smoky taste that hit all the right notes. But the surprise standout? The tri-tip chili—absolutely outstanding! The garlic mashed potatoes were creamy and comforting, and that loaf of garlic bread didn’t stand a chance once we got started. Add in friendly, helpful service, and you've got a 5-star experience. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Great food! Pleasant staff and armosphere!“

“We went for a birthday dinner; the hostess was a little shocked because we were the first to arrive. They were not very quick to take our order and slow to deliver the various dishes. They came so randomly, that some of us were done before others had begun. The upside is that in spite of the party size the food was good. We will try it again and see how things are with a smaller group.“

“I’ve been to El Cantaro in Monterey about 10 times! I’m looking forward to going to the Sacramento version of this restaurant today! That has some of the best Mexican food I’ve ever had. I love the fact that it doesn’t say vegan plant-based and all that stuff everywhere. It’s basically just a Mexican restaurant that happens to be Vegan. Can’t wait to come and visit!“

“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! 🌮“

“We used to drive down to San Jose for vegetarian food , and now we found Noble Vegetarian closer to our home . Even my 9 years old son said he wanted to come back !“

“The food was very delicious.“

“Amazing! So happy I found Pho Asian! Very good food and happy everything is vegan!“

“Fantastic Korma! Love the Saag Paneer! We will most definitely be coming back!“

“Our wife’s were looking for a good steak and baked potato and Outback did not disappoint. My brother and I got the trio special which included some potato soup, hamburger & side rice (brother got fries), and cheesecake for dessert. We washed it all down with a large Blue Moon. The meal was fantastic and the burger cooked perfect. The price point was also fantastic for so much quality food. Laisha was our server and she gets a five star for sure. She was attentive, kind and quick to ask multiple times if we needed anything. She represented Outback very well. The greeter in the front also had a smile which is always a great start! Great meal, Great time, we will return.“

“Thank you Shanna & Erin for the wonderful day celebrating your beautiful son. Congratulations we are proud godarents of our nephew, Brendan. The music from SS Peter & Paul choir was perfect and had everyone singing!!! Back at home we got to enjoy a delicious lunch from Wally’s cafe-Lebanese food from Rocklin- check them out! grateful for a beautiful day with our family.🙏“

“Excellent customer service. Tasty authentic food. Great dining experience.“

“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.“

“Good food and good price.“

“You can’t go wrong with either Caring Kitchen location (Rancho Cordova or Orangevale). To say their baked goods are treats is an understatement. Yes I’m vegan, but I’m not gluten-free, nor do I have any food allergies… and these are still the best cookies. It’s just a total bonus that shopping here supports a local baker and everyone with food allergies who still want a normal barkery experience. 10/10 I’m a fan for life!“

“Not sure exactly where to start but this restaurant has some serious customer service issues and that's just one category we were very disappointed in. We ordered online last night to try it out as we saw so many great reviews for the food so we broke from tradition and on my birthday we decided to eat here. All we ordered was a Helen, Cheese Fondue, and the Meatball rigatoni. I received an email stating the food would be ready in about 45 minutes. We left 35 minutes later as it's only up the street from where we live. As we arrive we noticed it's a little corner spot with patrons and appears to be more of a quaint little sit down restaurant and my wife and I thought maybe next time we just come in instead of take out. We stood there for about 2-3 minutes and then guy yells from across the room that he will be with us in a minute. He didn't seem to have anything he was really doing but ok. So finally an older guy comes over and asks us if we have been helped. We told him we were there to pick up our order, and he says he will go check on it. After a few minutes he comes back and says he tried to call us (no record of any missed calls on my phone) and that the rigatoni with meatballs was not available and he wasn't sure how it let us order that online. We don't know either and we definitely know you didn't try calling us to tell us that. Anyways he provided the option for a refund or to make my wife another dish. He mentioned shrimp scampi as the alternative, now the rigatoni was $25 a plate and they didn't even have shrimp scampi on the menu so I was skeptical since usually if they make something good it would be on their menu. So we waited for another 10 minutes for this SCAMpi. I capitalize scam because that's exactly how we felt when they tried to give us this alternative dish and we looked at it. I wish I had taken a picture of what they brought out for $25.... It was literally a small portion of large macaroni noodles, and no more than maybe 6-7 small chunks of shrimp in some greasy sauce that looked totally unseasoned... Gross. I wouldn't feed anything that dish and they should have never tried to replace a main dish like that with something as disappointing as what we received. So I took the container back into the restaurant as we hadn't left the parking lot as I wanted to see first just what they felt was comparable to the $25 we just spent. I found the guy who helped us and just explained that we wanted the refund and the scampi was not acceptable. He said ok and said right after that the refund was already processed. Now to the other food. The pizza was $23 and the cheese fondue was $13. Normally $23 for a pizza isn't crazy, but this was literally the size of a medium if that, and was extremely bare of ingredients. It taste pretty good, but wasnt worth the money at all. I don't eat a lot, and I was able to eat half of this pizza alone without even blinking. The cheese fondue was ok but not memorable. So now today I get up and take a look at my bank account to see if the refund was actually processed, and what do I see? Instead of a refund, I was charged again for that SCAMpi and not actually refunded! I wouldn't dine here again with the lack of customer service, value, and lack of integrity. I will be going back in again to get this straightened out and am not happy about it.“

“A friend of ours took us to this fabulous gelato store yesterday I’ve never seen anything of sanitary as this which means a lot to me because my husband has Multiple myeloma cancer immune system. I have never in this country had gelato this good. The people that served you were wearing masks and the containers of the gelato were covered not like other stores were. They’re just sitting out exposed . The owner, whose name is Tessa and is absolutely a delight and is just so personable and caring and came over to the table that we were going to sit at without knowing that my husband had cancer and sanitize the table before we sat there, she had no idea he had cancer. The point is not only was the place sanitary like I’ve never seen any gelato place like that before, but the texture and flavor of this gelato was very much like I had in Italy and France you don’t find that here anywhere. I can’t wait to go back. It’s 45 minutes from my house and Rockland and I will drive there just to get their gelato. It’s worth the drive. It’s off of Bidwell in the BelAir shopping center. I highly recommend you try this place it’s absolutely so beautiful inside and so Clean with the flavors of these gelato and the taste is just 10 star . My husband had the coffee and the chocolate and I had the cappuccino and the salted caramel. It was absolutely yummy. I’m retired so it’s worth taking a drive over to Folsom just to get this gelato to me. It’s a destination now. I’ll be going there next week.“

“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.“

“This has become one of my favorite restaurants. The food is amazing and the staff is always so friendly. Even when busy this restaurant is always clean. I highly recommended this place.“

“I have ordered from these guys at least three or four times delivered by DoorDash and I am typically a foodie when it comes to gourmet food and these guys got it nailed down even for a pizza place- very quality and wide menu selection keep up the great work“

“Wow. Just had the most amazing sushi experience. New place Roku near our house. A curated experience with individual accompaniments with each fish type. This was the Sashimi presentation with more exotic fish. All are aged fish which added to the evening“

“Stopped in on a whim today as we were in the area. Google gave 4.9 stars and we were not disappointed. From the greetings when we entered the door to the delicious BBQ burger and fall off the bone baby back ribs everything was great! We definitely plan to return to try other key items on the menu!“

“Don't let the strip mall location fool you, this Thai restaurant is a hidden gem that absolutely blew me away! The service was truly outstanding, going above and beyond to ensure a great dining experience.

Every single dish was bursting with flavor, but their Khao Soi was, without a doubt, the best I've ever had. They even took the time to suggest perfect pairings of their delicious chili crunch with a couple of dishes, which was such a thoughtful touch.

Though I don't live in the state, I'll absolutely go out of my way to visit and support this incredible family-run restaurant whenever I can.“

“It’s probably the only spot within 50 miles that has the newest Ground Control Cyclops coffee machine for drip and cold brew coffee, paired with their Onyx coffee you get the best tasting coffee in town!“

“This place is amazing! The food is 🔥🔥🔥 and the family that runs it is awesome! Highly recommend this place if you’re a fan of great quality food and a great price! Keep up the good work Folsom Pizza and Kabob! ⚡️🤘🏼⚡️“

“Le Castel Café is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed with genuine warmth and hospitality — especially from George, who goes above and beyond to make every guest feel like family. His kindness and attention to detail truly make this place stand out.“

“The food was amazing and the service was even better! We split the beet salad and gnocchi starters and they were both so yummy! The sauce on the gnocchi was especially delicious. We also split the cod entree and it was cooked to perfection. The kitchen even split the starters and entree for us which we definitely were not expecting. Desserts were also great and it was nice to be able to treat my mother to this special experience. She is still raving about it.“

“I have enjoyed this unique dinning experience several times over the years. Each time offered a unique experience, with each being outstanding. The food and entertainment remind me of a Las Vegas production in both style and quality. The true superstar is Connie in customer service. She made sure all our reservations and meal selections met our needs. She is not only helpful but, she is patient and extremely helpful and delightful. When in doubt, trust her recommendations. Thank You, Connie!“

“As a skeletal being, I don’t often indulge in the pleasures of the culinary world, but my recent visit to Umami Ramen was a delightful exception. Upon entering, I was greeted by the rich aroma of simmering broth that tantalized my non-existent taste buds. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with wooden accents and dim lighting—perfect for a bony figure seeking refuge from the chill of the grave. I opted for the signature ramen, “shiro ramen” a spine-tingling favorite. The broth was rich and deeply savory, with layers of umami that could awaken even the most dormant of bones. Each slurp brought a satisfying warmth that sent shivers down my… well, you get the idea. The noodles were perfectly chewy, a delightful contrast to my otherwise brittle frame. I appreciated how they held onto the broth, ensuring each bite was flavorful. The toppings—a generous scattering of green onions and a perfectly cooked soft-boiled egg—were visually appealing and added a delightful texture. For a skeleton, the highlight was undoubtedly the marrow-infused broth, which was rich enough to make me almost forget my lack of flesh. It was comforting in a way that transcended the corporeal. Service was friendly, and the staff even chuckled at my bony demeanor, which I took as a compliment. Overall, Umami Ramen provided an experience that was both hearty and hauntingly good. In conclusion, I may not have the capacity to eat in the traditional sense, but I can confidently say this ramen is to die for. Highly recommended for all the living and the occasionally wandering skeletal souls.“

“Silver Sake “Where Everybody Knows Your Name”. This is the go to place for sushi. It’s more than good food. It’s an experience. The staff from chefs, wait staff, to kitchen staff, greet, engage you with friendly smiles. The food is always amazing my kids enjoy their chef choice (Omakase) rolls. Matter of fact we always leave it up to the chef to make whatever they see fit to serve us. Never been disappointed and always left our appetites pleasantly satisfied. When it’s time to leave, as you walk out the doors, you’re always sent off with “ We’ll See You Tomorrow”. It takes every ounce of willpower to not return the next day.
Silver Sake Carmichael’s Hidden Gem!“

“Staff is friendly... So clean, fast service. I love the religious factor. I always like to see the Bible verse on the bottom of the cup or the french fry container....Prices stay the same in the economy.... Love that...“

“The tacos are amazing!! Great drinks too!“

“My first time to starbread, really enjoyable fantastic selection and fresh bread as all get out. Would definitely recommend anyone looking for a soft moist slice of bread covered in sugar and slightly shiny. We order the 30 piece a cream cheese rollup an apple rollup, a lemon malasada, corned beef roll. All absolutely delicious!“

“chicken sandwich amazing! Great fries! Staff/ owner very nice.“

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

“Chicken plate was really good. Husband said it's the best rice he's ever had. My beef and lamb gyro was amazing!! Baklava was TOP NOTCH! We look forward to eating here many times again.“

“WOW WOW WOW!!! Absolutely delicious food and great service! There were six of us and we all ordered something different off the menu and we tasted and shared everything and it was excellent…… I would not consider this to be pub food……. it is exceptional! I wish they would open one in El Dorado Hills!!!“

“I seriously cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. We were greated by a very friendly man who offered suggestions on the menu. He pleasantly asked if we were happy with our food. The food is AMAZING. I got a gyro wrap, my husband got a gyro platter. The portions were huge and absolutely delicious. My husband eats more food then you could imagine and it made him stuffed while not sacrificing quality or flavor. The meat just melted in your mouth and the flavor was out of this world. We got two baklavas and I cannot even explain how good they are.“

“Food and service are both amazing!“

“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.“

“Went back to the Melt this afternoon for a burger and shake. This place never disappoints. Good food and great service thanks lacy for the hospitality and service
Will continue to come back. Always a delicious meal and atmosphere.
Thank you for the service you deliver“

“The old-fashioned are so good and the brunch menu never disappoints❤“

“I like this place a lot just make sure if you are planning to go to get there earlier if possible, if you are going for a weekend dinner i reccomend going 2 hours in advance since the waitlist is always pretty long. The employees are all really nice and i have never felt bad after eating here“

“This place is a true gem! My husband and I have ate here twice now and we have NOT been disappointed. Our first time there he ordered a burger of some sort and I got the grilled chicken sandwhich in a lettuce wrap. Both were absolutely delicious. Our second time around he got the pesto crepe with fries, and I got the Mediterranean crepe with salad. We both agreed that my crepe was better, despite our love of pesto, but both were good. The fries and salad hit the spot as well, mostly because their ranch dressing is fantastic. Prices were definitely reasonable. I look forward to trying other things on the menu. Whether you want savory or sweet there's something for everyone!“

“We stopped in for dinner last night, our first time, and it was hands down the best meal we've had since living in CA. The reuben egg rolls were mouthwatering, to say the least. We also brought our daughters with us, and you accommodated to them, so well. Thank you again! We will be back.“
