“They were really busy with lots of happy people. I wasn't able to get the chicken sandwich that I wanted but they were so sweet about it and even gave me a beer while I wanted all they staff was super sweet and very kind. If I could give 10 stars I would ❤️”
“OMG. The band, Sacramento Swing Collective was incredible last night. Wonderful experience. Looking forward to future performances.”
“Awesome food and great service. The brisket melted in my mouth, the bbq beans and mac and cheese were the perfect combo, and the dipping sauces were really good too. Nice selection of beers, definitely going back!”
“We really enjoyed ourselves at Rudy's Hideaway. Food was delicious! We shared an appetizer, fried calamari. For our entrée: *8oz lobster tail, baked potato and green beans *Surf and Turf, which included prime rib, king crab leg, baked potato and green beans. We ended our meal having cheesecake with raspberry sauce and creme brulee. Our sever was attentive and polite. He went above and beyond to make our experience a pleasure. The atmosphere was inviting and relaxing. We will definitely be back...highly recommend!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“i’m normally too lazy to post reviews, but this place absolutely deserves the hype. i’d give it 5 stars for the service alone, but the food was so good on top of it. we got the pan fried mackerel, bulgogi, and tofu dolsut bibimbap. the mackerel was juicy and the bibimbap had the perfect crust at the bottom. great choices of bonchon too!”
“Ok, I've been going to this spot (ONLY smoke bbq at all I get) since covid and I have NEVER had anything that but the Best bbq, you owners are bar none the Nices people! Now.... I had a piece of pork rib (end piece) that changed pork ribs forever for me. It had the Perfect flavor, texture, and was just MIND BLOWING! I actually have half of it for later! Damn, I am in a Food Coma and Glued to the couch. Seriously do yourself a favor and hit this spot up, I Promise you'll be happy you did!”

“This is my second time here, and I’ve tried different dishes on each visit. Everything was absolutely amazing! 👏 Highly recommended!
The restaurant is clean and quiet, and the service is more than excellent. The staff are truly wonderful!
This restaurant has definitely become one of my favorites. I’ll be coming back for sure”
“Burning Barrel Brewing Co. is easily one of the most exciting breweries I’ve visited—and I’ve visited a lot. The tap list? Insane. Over 20 beers on rotation, from hazy IPAs and crisp pilsners to wild smoothie sours and barrel-aged stouts. I tried a blueberry banana cheesecake sour that tasted like it came straight from a dessert menu. Meanwhile, the “Side Pull Pillows” Czech pilsner was perfectly clean and balanced—proof they do the classics just as well as the experimental. The space is laid-back and welcoming. Plenty of seating both inside and out, misters on the patio for hot days, and dog-friendly! The staff was super knowledgeable and happy to offer recommendations based on what I liked. You can really tell the team here cares about quality and innovation. Also, the service was fast, friendly, and genuinely passionate about beer—which makes a huge difference. Whether you’re into crushable lagers, pastry stouts, or bold fruit-forward sours, Burning Barrel has something that’ll blow you away. It’s the kind of place you want to bring friends to—but also one where you could chill solo and geek out on the beer list. Can’t wait to go back. 🍻”
“I cannot express enough how much I adore Falafel Fusion in Rancho Cordova--it's truly the gem of Mediterranean cuisine in the Sacramento area! From the moment you step in, the inviting atmosphere and the friendly staff make you feel right at home. Inayat, the manager, is an absolute star! His passion for delivering an exceptional dining experience shines through, making each visit memorable. Conveniently located next to the I-50 exit with ample parking, Falafel Fusion is easily accessible, adding to its charm. Now, let's talk about the falafel platter--an absolute masterpiece! The combination of pita, falafels, basmati rice, house salad, and that secret house sauce is nothing short of divine. The pita was incredibly soft, the falafels crispy with a delightful cilantro flavor. Each bite was a burst of taste explosions, and the falafels literally melted in my mouth. The spice levels were spot-on, providing a perfect balance of flavors. The hummus, a heavenly side, complemented the falafels and basmati rice flawlessly. Speaking of the rice, it was not just any rice--it was a flavorful journey on its own. The house salad, fresh and vibrant, added a delightful crunch to the meal. Now, let's talk about that secret house sauce--it's an absolute game-changer! I've never tasted anything so good. It elevates the entire dining experience to a whole new level. Kudos to the brilliant minds behind this secret concoction! And the cleanliness! The spotless bathrooms reflect the commitment to maintaining a hygienic environment. Plus, the prices are incredibly reasonable for the quality and quantity of the food you receive. In conclusion, Falafel Fusion is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic and mouthwatering Mediterranean cuisine. Support this amazing local business; you won't be disappointed! Thank you, Falafel Fusion, for consistently delivering an unforgettable dining experience.”
“Great experience at Cosmic Roosters! Dima helped us at the register and was extremely friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Great customer service from the moment we walked in. The food was great and the whole experience was even better because of the service. Definitely recommend checking them out!”
“We were looking for a new sushi place nearby and were pleasantly surprised by Sora Sushi. We have only been there for dinner and have enjoyed each meal and starter that we’ve tried. The atmosphere, music, and ESPECIALLY the customer service is second to none. Highly recommend!!”
“All bartenders here are very professional, friendly and attentive. They tolerate my nonsense..and remember my name! Cory is a legend, Steve is awesome, Michele rocks, and Jessica is excellent. The vibe here is dynamic, changing with the customer demographic throughout the day(they open early), but it is always fine. I see some reviews complaining about minor(trifling), issues..but thats not been my experience.
To serve such a varied clientele, all day, every day, this place nails it!
I would recommend it!🍻🎱🎯”

“The food is definitely fresh and tastes really good.
The owners are very nice, friendly, and helpful, and the place is clean and well kept. Portions are decent as well.
My only point is that the prices feel a little high for this type of food.
Overall, a good local spot with quality food and great service.”
“Had an amazing experience at Fuzion Bistro in Rancho Cordova! The food was absolutely delicious, and a few dishes really stood out. The Fish Tandoori was perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of smoky flavor, tender on the inside with a nice char on the outside. The White Sauce Pizza was rich and creamy without being too heavy—each bite was packed with flavor. And the Baingan Bharta? Easily one of the best I’ve had, with that deep, roasted eggplant flavor coming through beautifully. On top of the great food, the service was friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Definitely a spot worth visiting if you’re in the area. Will be back for sure!”
“This place is awesome! I've only been here two times but both times have been great! The food is sooo good! Will make you dance lol, but seriously the Birria tacos and carne asada tacos were amazing! Hats off to the chef 👏 I highly recommend this place.
Update- come here all the time now definitely my go to atleast 2 times a week love this place ❤”

“Delicious dinner, outstanding service (Matt our server is top notch!), welcoming manager and even got a table visit by the chef, making the rounds/ checking in! Impressive!”
“I love the sweet piggy pizza, amazing taste. When you don’t need any condiments to supplement the taste that’s how you know is good pizza.”

“The boat noodles are fantastic! The broth is rich, flavorful, and has great depth. My only suggestion would be to serve it hotter, as the temperature could be improved. The green Thai tea is also so delicious and a must-try! Overall, a great spot for authentic Thai flavors. So glad this establishment is part of the neighborhood.”
“🍕 Our Experience at Steve’s Pizza in Rancho Cordova
We had such a wonderful experience at Steve’s Pizza in Rancho Cordova! What stood out to us was not just the delicious, high-quality pizza, but the excellent customer service and how clean and welcoming the place was.
One of the highlights of our visit was having the opportunity to personally meet Mrs. Otal, the owner. It was a pleasure meeting her, and that personal connection made our experience even more special. You can really appreciate a business when you get to meet the person behind it and see the pride they take in what they do.
We truly enjoyed the pizza, appreciated the friendly service, and were impressed with the cleanliness of the restaurant. It’s always nice to find a local business that makes you feel welcome and leaves you with a great impression.
Thank you, Mrs. Otal, for a wonderful experience! We’re happy to support a local business that cares about the quality of its food and the people it serves. We highly recommend Steve’s Pizza to anyone in Rancho Cordova looking for great pizza and friendly service! 🍕❤️”
“I don't understand anyone saying the food is bland. I've been going here for approximately 25 years and it's amazing how consistent the food has been over that long period of time. Everything I've tried has been very flavorful and delicious and well-seasoned, and again, CONSISTENT.
There's only so much you can do with Spanish rice and refried beans, so those are never going to wow anyone, but they have as much flavor as you can expect without totally changing them. Their salsa is delicious and consistent and well-seasoned. I like that it is blended well and not super chunky.
They do not have, nor ever had hard liquor, so the margaritas are wine margaritas. You can't judge them against real margaritas, so you have to appreciate them for what they are. That's why I normally just enjoy a couple bottles of Corona with my meal.
Someone else complained about their prices, but compared to other Mexican food places, and taking portion sizes into consideration, their prices are actually quite reasonable. Their prices are so reasonable that I don't even mind ordering from Doordash sometimes.”
“we had a luncheon there today...15.. service was wonderful, staff was so accommodating, food is always delicious...I would recommend the Lodge to everyone 5 stars”

“Best plate I ate this year, I didn’t expect this, the amount of food and the taste is just 100% satisfaction, they got down man I’m exited to eat this. I never left a review in my 20 years of living and I told myself to leave them one! Amazing customer service and food and comforting to chill at while eating.”
“My husband and I LOVE coming here and bringing our friends and family. We’ve loved everything we’ve ordered here and haven’t had a single bad dish.
Their surf and turf tacos and pina nieto tacos are easily our favorites. Their salsa bar is expansive and has so many more options than a lot of the other restaurants we frequent. I especially love their jalapeño crema salsa and pickled onions.
There’s tons of seating and it is so clean inside. Even better, they’re so quick to get you food and the customer service is on point. They are constantly watching the salsa bar to make sure everything is topped off and I have yet to see spills anywhere on the counter.
This location used to be Rubio’s and I was so sad when they closed. But this place has easily won us over. I can’t wait to see Taqueria La Perla Tapatia continue to thrive and get the recognition it deserves.”
“The ribs are seasoned and smoked to perfection. The oxtails are smoked and tender. The Mac n cheese is absolutely delicious and the greens...I could eat them daily. I will definitely be ordering whenever he comes to the town.
The service was great and the food was good and hot.
The chef was funny and friendly.”

“Hands down our favorite place for delicious Korean street food. Everything we've tried there has been tasty and we've recommended them to several friends and family. Our favorite items are the bulgogi cupbap, bulgogi gimbap, inari gimbap, and chicken gangjeong.
The staff are wonderful and super sweet. 💕”

“Absolutely incredible Salvadoran restaurant—if you’re looking for authentic, flavorful food, this is the spot.
• Unbelievably delicious and flavorful dishes
• Fresh, high-quality ingredients
• Generous portions—great value
• Always full of locals (a great sign)
This place could use a bit of renovation.
Don’t expect anything fancy—come for the real, authentic experience. Highly recommended!”
“Delicious food. I eat it every time I’m in town 🥰”
“I went looking for a new place to try for a good diner style breakfast. I don’t normally eat out due to rising costs and ability to make great food at home but thought I’d look for a nice local spot to try out. I was not disappointed at all after trying their Specialty Omelette with biscuits and gravy. Friendly staff and excellent food. Will definitely recommend to others and will be back. Most of the menu looks great and the pricing while not cheap, it certainly was worth the cost for the quality of the food prepared.”
“the service is personal and delightful. happy hour is serious and the good is great. and those Japanese sweet drinks will bring a smile to everyone's face...”
“Great place to eat. Service is always super friendly and food is excellent!”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“I had the opportunity to visit one of their pop op events in Elk Grove. I needed to bring something home for my mom and wasn’t sure what to get so Janine made my mom a sundae and she loved it! My daughter got a milkshake. Everything was amazing, service was top notch, If you ever see their tents at an event you are at do yourself a favor and get a sundae, you won’t regret it!”
“We were SOoooooooo Excited when we saw you were moving in...and little nervous we'd start gaining weight! :) ! We used to drive to Folsom for every special event since Handles Ice Cream is the BEST!!!! So many unique and great options that taste amazing and are even fun to look at! We never feel rushed or like the employees are annoyed when we ask for samples! I think everyone in line wants to do the same, so people wait patiently. 100% worth the wait if there's a line!
If anyone hasn't been there you MUST go! The ice cream is that perfect balance of frozen and a little soft! So many options! Fruity types, so many choices with chocolate and even more than just one dairy free! My son loves the chocolate dipped waffle cones! The area is also peaceful to sit and enjoy the Amazing Ice-Cream Moments!! :)
Only thing I'd wish for is more seating options, and maybe someone to clean the tables off and even spray the sticky ground more often...at least during busy times! I know this isn't always possible though.
THANK YOU HANDLES!!! Please Never Leave Rancho! :)”
“I have been going to Jasper's for 10 years. My friend and I went every Friday to enjoy the delicious food and see David and Julia. The Fridays were great and will miss them. David I hope you enjoy your retirement and Julia I hope you do too. Take care of yourselves and make all your faithful customers hamburgers in your dreams. You will be missed”
“Didnt have any soda. But the guy working made a great sandwich and he himself was a vibe. The employee made a 3 star location a 5 star review. Guy said he only works there 2 days a week. He must be doing something awesome the rest of the time. Give the man a raise!!”
“Emily at Root of Happiness in Rancho Cordova is the kind of kavatender who turns a first visit into a favorite place. She has that rare mix of warmth, knowledge, humor, and calm presence that makes you feel welcome the second you walk in.
She knows the menu, understands the vibe, and makes great recommendations without ever making you feel rushed or out of place. Whether you’re brand new to kava or already know what you like, Emily makes the experience easy, comfortable, and genuinely enjoyable.
What really stands out is how intentional she is. She doesn’t just serve drinks. She creates an atmosphere. She makes the room feel lighter, friendlier, and more connected. Root of Happiness is lucky to have her, and anyone who gets served by Emily is getting the best version of what a kava bar should be: relaxed, kind, welcoming, and full of good energy.
Five stars for Emily. Honestly, she deserves more.”
“A top scene for tasty Persian food. very savory. service is consistently good. the bill was well within reason for the quality. not close to my job, i wish it was.”
“Great location and food. The food here is always fresh and hot and an amazing experience overall. I usually buy my lava cakes here but I'll occasionally buy a meal too and they never disappoint. You won't be disappointed if you visit these guys they are awesome!”
Cheap Eats
“Great place for ice cream. 50 years ago I worked at a Baskin-Robbins in Dayton, Ohio. Then, six cones with 2 scoops cost $1.68. Today those cones cost about $36. But the cones are bigger. The quality of the ice cream is the same. Excellent. I will go back again to sample all my old favorites. Tonight was black walnut and jamocha almond fudge.”
“The general manager, Mar, is beyond dedicated. Based on his professionalism, his positive demeanor, and his upbeat energy, I thought he was the regional manager. I've met two regional managers on previous trips to Five Guys, and Mar has all the same qualities. Five Guys never misses! Not only is there food always on point, but their people are always hard working, positive, and provide great customer service, which Mar exemplified in a brief experience at the counter. Promote him so that he can teach the next generation of Five Guys personnel to maintain that level of quality.”
“The bowls here are fresh and flavorful, with lots of healthy options and a great selection of fixings to customize your bowl. The sauces were tasty and really complemented the flavors well.
Pricing is a bit steep, so I’d love to see it come down a bit but overall, a great experience. I’ll definitely be back!”

“Would give this like a 4.5. Coffee was amazing, I had the egg custard coffee, 10 out of 10. I had the house special banh mi, portion was huge for the price and the bread was really good, but the ham was a bit gelatinous for my liking and the sandwich was a little dry.”
“As someone who loves sugarcane juice and is pretty much addicted to pandan waffles, I love Mamma Mia.
Their sugarcane juice is so refreshing, fragrant, and delicious; I usually get #3 - juice w/ calamansi, although I've tried the #2 - just sugarcane juice, and it's delicious, as well. I've given a few to my parents, who love it, too. (My mom, who drank it as a child growing up in Vietnam, praised Mamma Mia for the quality of their sugarcane juice.)
As for their pandan waffles - I've had a lot from bakeries in Orange County's 'Little Saigon,' and Mamma Mia's are my favorite. They're delicious, lightly sweet and fragrant, perfect texture (slightly chewy and soft), and just so good.
The staff here are so kind, helpful, and welcoming.
I definitely recommend coming here for sugarcane juice and pandan waffles! (I'm sure their coffee is good, too, though I have yet to try.)”
