“One of our favorite restaurants while we live in West Sacramento and the Sacramento area. Excellent food & service. The staff was always kind, caring and served top- notch home-made food. We could always rely on everything being tasty and feeling welcomed.“

“What a fantastic meal! We are actually still dining as this review is being written. We ordered deviled eggs and truffles frites, they were amazing.

Tgank you for a wonderful meal and experience. Matt & Sofia“

“My opinion best Hamburgers in Sacramento. Where else can you get a burger made from venison, wild boar, Wagyu, Bison, Camel or even Gator bites ? Exotic meats and great selection of craft beers owner is an awesome staff is great and the cook is on point. Oh and the fries are to die for 🤤. Definitely a must try if you are in the Sacramento area and love hamburgers and fries.“

“Had dinner here on 1-15-25 party of 3. Very good service. Espresso martinis were great! Started with artisan bread and Brussel sprouts. It was a little weird to have the pancetta on the side vs mixed into the dish but everyone agreed we really liked them. Then we had Dungeness crab arrabiata, duck fat seared scallops and the short rib. Favorite dish was the short rib! The arrabiata had a good variety of seafood but I wasn’t a huge fan of the squid ink tonarelli. The scallops we tasty just tiny and too few, so that was the least liked dish. Finished off with a flourless chocolate cake that was good. Next time we want the brie appetizer! I’d dine here again but it hasn’t moved into my top 10. We each had a cocktail to start and shared a modest bottle of Pinot. Out the door $400.“

“Went to this place on Friday, customer service was excellent and the food was exquisite. Will be going back for sure.“

“Back in 2020 while in town for a cousin's wedding. The wedding party ate here. Being a retired chef from Louisiana but residing in Nashville. So I know seafood. I would give this place 5 🌟 because the food deserves 2 👍 and staff and place was A-1.“

“This is a great place to eat and drink! The atmosphere is upscale without the prices being out of control, at least for a business traveler, which I think is their primary audience. I wish they were more explicit about dietary restrictions on the menu, which is basically silent on this topic.“

“Yummy food and brew. Game time“

“This place was awesome! Starting with the aesthetic, the art on the walls was incredible! The staff was extremely attentive and offered the daily special, which is a super bonus cause your girl likes her deals! The food was really good and the price was great. We just found our new date night spot!“

“I eat at Huckleberry’s at least twice a month, today however my experience was not good to the point that I did not leave a tip and feel terrible about that. I went in around noon on Sunday, I knew it would be busy. I signed in for one and was told it would be a 10 minute wait. I sat there roughly 10 minutes. Two ladies came in signed in. Apparently they knew one of the waitress and were seated a few minutes later even though I was there before them. A waiter then approached the hostess and pointed at the clipboard, the hostess told him she was not going to seat one person in a booth. So I approached the hostess that initially signed me in and inquired why the two ladies were given a booth even though I was there before them, she didn’t know and looked for the waitress who sat them. The waitress proceeded to move them to a bigger booth to seat me. I was very disappointed. I realize it was not right to leave a tip but customers should not be given preferential treatment.“

“Great food. Good ambiance, friendly employees. Would highly recommend the establishment!“

“This place is soooo dope!!! We came in on a Saturday night and even though it was crazy busy, were immediately greeted and seated in a cozy booth. DJ was in the zone and had everyone dancing in the aisle and singing along to hip-hop classic bangers. Definitely a great and positive vibe. We were there for food though.

Had a tough time deciding what to order because everything looked tempting, but went with the CARRERA QUESADILLA and CHIMICHURRI STEAK SANDWICH for food and LYCHEE MARTINI for a cocktail or two. Portions were generous, gorgeously plated and not at all what you’d expect from late-night bar food. Steak was tender, cooked a perfect med-rare and all ingredients fresh and beyond delicious!!

Felt our business there extremely appreciated when Tony introduced himself to us as the manager/owner and told us about his vision to make THE SHOP even better. Asked for our feedback. These kind of interactions build regulars. We literally can’t wait to visit again.“

“We came for the veterans day meals, but will definaly be come back, the foods is amazing with some of the best taste in the thai-mango salad it came with 6 shrimp. The burger was huge and was cooked to prefecture and tasted amazing. The wings were juicy and crunchy.
The staff was friendly and on top of everything!
Nate and Isabella were both friendly, great service and made us feel welcome.

They also have a dog friendly patio with a meal for the puppy, and it's a good meal.“

“Had the French dip today. It was delicious. We normally come for breakfast. I recommend French toast combo or pancake combo . Those are my favorites . My husband recommends the Leti scramble. Great and friendly staff . 👍🏼👍🏼“

“What an incredible experience!
This truly feels like a hole in the wall but the inside is beautiful and intimate. What you'll see on a menu is a small fraction of what is truly available to you. That move quickly and diligently to get you settled and will make sure you get something you'll love. It will definitely feel a bit overwhelming at first trying to keep everything straight but trust your gut. They'll make you any drink you ask for and have a great selection of appetizers, main courses, and dessert.

If you want an intimate setting with polite, jovial, and knowledgeable staff and stellar food definitely give this place a try.

2 cocktails, an appetizer, two main courses, and 2 desserts were about $180“

“Everything! :-) MMMMMMMmmmmmmmmm!!“

“I have been an avid Starbucks drinker for over 10 years. I had the Atomic Chick yesterday and it was so good I have decided to stop drinking Starbucks so I can spend that money here instead! The food is outstanding! The atmosphere is amazing, the music is nostalgic and IT'S KID FRIENDLY🤯 The owner is funny and so nice, the staff was above and beyond. I will absolutely be coming back time and time again! Can not wait to try everything on the menu.“

“Atlanta has the Varsity hotdogs, Los Angeles has Pinks hotdogs, and Sacramento has Willie's Burgers hotdogs, best place with the best taste“

“My mom says their food is orgasmic . Harry Met Sally style 😉.

If you haven’t tried this place you need to check it out. It has perfect holiday season vibes. I have seen too many restaurants come and go from this location. I had the pasta and bread tonight, heavenly.  They ran out of cookies, so the owner couldn’t be nicer, he made me a beautiful & thoughtful oreo panna cotta. Dude. Yup, so good.

If you need a restaurant for a holiday dinner or brunch, I highly recommend this location. It has cozy indoor and outdoor seating with heaters for outside. Let’s keep their doors open this holiday season as we move into 2026.“

“Fantastic food and a staple of West Sac. Love the homemade chips and beans and a chocolate peanut butter shake.“

“When we walked in I wasn't sure about all of the amazing reviews we'd read, but the food was SO GOOD! The Carne Asada fries lived up to the hype, the service was nice and the space had a lot to do. Definitely coming back for dinner!“

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

“love the steak sandwiches!“

“Great Food! Love the music! Triangulight Loves playing music here too!“

“Love everything about them“

“Mencanta la atención y la comida está muy bien preparada ! 💯recomendada 👌“

“I wish the shop was a bit bigger and the outside wasnt surrounded by trash and a unhoused guy just pees in front of the shop.
However it being a hole in the wall… best Damn chicken spot in Sacramento, and Yolo county. COUnTY not city.
Chicken is fried to perfection, the sauces are HOT as hell. Most important the BUN is warmmmmm ahhh. Soo good.“

“Thank you for the yummy food and homey atmosphere.“

“My son and daughter treated me to a birthday lunch here. I loved it! Our waitress was amazing. The food was really good and I finally got to see inside. I've always wondered what it looked like inside. It's definitely a great vibe.“

“I visited House Kitchen & Bar last week for a work event, and the experience was impressive from start to finish. Organizing or attending corporate gatherings can often be hit-or-miss regarding hospitality, but the staff here was outstanding. They were professional, genuinely polite, and friendly, ensuring our group was well taken care of throughout the evening.
The highlight of the night, however, was the food. I ordered the short rib dinner, and it was nothing short of amazing. The execution of the dish was perfect—flavorful and tender enough that I genuinely wished I could have ordered seconds or even thirds.
If you are looking for a venue that combines high-quality cuisine with attentive, A+ service, I highly recommend dining at this establishment. It is a fantastic choice for both business functions and personal dining in Sacramento.“

“The location was questionable but let me tell you baby that everything else including the service was the best !!! The young lady told me if was made with love and I am a believer 💕💕💕💕💕💕 the food ( catfish , shrimp and fries) was seasoned with perfection. The pricing was about right but the food baby was delicious. It’s a hidden gem for sure. Cough cough better than surrounding competitors…“

“Great service, staff was extremely attentive even with a large group. Enjoyed preservation of old lighting with decor of bar. Food was mainly American dishes, few Asian flavor inspired dishes, would not recommend for vegetarians due to limited options .“

“Went there for my birthday dinner. The food was so good and the service was great.“

“Great service, thank you all🥰“

“We went with a large group of neighbors and friends to the Timbers' Holiday dinner. We've been before, previous year for their Prime Rib Dinner Special. Again, this year the Roast beef was delicious! We'll be back again on Thursday... Prime Rib Night! 😁“

“I had the exquisite quinoa salad and luscious goat cheese quiche! This is fantastic "Good Things to Eat", beautifully prepared with a whole lot of heart by two hardworking women who love providing great food to their local community! Highly recommend!“

“A wide variety of pre-designed and make-your-own salads and dinner plates in a laid back, counter order atmosphere. We enjoyed the Greek Chicken salad, Steak salad, and Tri-tip plate. Quick, affordable, & flavorful, with fresh ingredients.“

“JOSH!!!!! Best server, cleaner and CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!! Tell him Katy and Pete appreciated him so much!!! He made our day!!’ You are so lucky to have him as your employee!!! Happy Holidays to you all!! I“

“One of our go to spots!! My wife and I, as well as our 3 teen boys love it! The Tri-Tip and Bacon wrap is my personal favorite. Expect a great environment and friendly staff every time you visit too!“

“good food good service an hood beer I'll be back“

“Very new to the area from Dana Point. Found this establishment online. A quaint, clean and organized bar. Hallie, bartender was hospitable, and made great recommendations. The buffalo sauced wings were the best I ever had...really. Beer was cold and local patrons were friendly. I highly recommend this place if you're not from the area and not sure where to go. Great job team. I'm looking forward to the next visit.“

“Visited family in that area last month & my daughter took us to Veg Cafe for brunch...the french toast was wonderful..the fries were top notch & would love to know what coating or frying method is used to make them the most fantastic fries! Now all other fries will be blah in comparison.“

“Great food and people go get y’all some“

“This place was a welcomed experience for a late dinner. The atmosphere with fireplaces and bar grill was warm and cozy.Our host was so sweet and attentive to our table. The presentation of the food was beautifully plated.The attention to pouring hot water into a coffee cup to warm our hands on a cold night was appreciated.

Dietary restrictions: Choice of Salmon and salads, over hearty meats and burgers.“

“The dessert crepes at this creperie are a delightful treat! I ordered a Nutella and strawberry crepe, and it was heavenly. The quality of the ingredients is top-notch, and the crepe was perfectly cooked. The presentation was beautiful, and the taste exceeded my expectations. Plus, the price was affordable for such a high-quality dessert. I can't wait to try more crepes from here!“
