    lots of locals know this place, and prefer it to other food restaurants in the entire Sacramento area. cozy and friendly, and clean. one of my personal vices. restrooms are maintained in clean standards, at least while I've been there. parking is kind of cramped, but the service here and the sheer quality of the food is worth it. Good place for a new date or a small luncheon with business professional associates.

    Great burgers! Multiple french fry types and flavors to satisfy any craving. I had the bacon and cheddar burger with curly fries, delish! Also, excellent price for the quality of food and service. I will definitely be back with friends.

    The food is good. Serves up at great amount of portions. The staff are cordial and kind. I like the music play in the background.

    I was actually impressed with their Monte Cristo sandwich. Had a late night snack with 4 other friends and everything was good. Great service. Restrooms could use some attention.

    Great service and good food. This place is also very clean which I appreciate in a place where I'm going to eat. I would definitely come back here.
