Had to go with the flapjacks aka pancakes and they did a swell job on them. Fluffy and crisp edges. Lots of flavor compared to the typical flour taste from other pancake houses. Huge menu with lots of options. They also serve mimosas and some bottle beers. Located inside of a shopping center this was my first visit but I already want to return with my lady and son to get some more Flapjacks.

update: time to patronize and review local diners. We have been here many times and decided to…read moreoffer an updated review. This establishment has been here for years and is always filled with patrons everyday. So what did we order. 1) basic breakfast: homemade sausage patty, 2 eggs, pancakes. The sausage patty was large had a nice flavor. Two eggs were a little too runny. Pancakes were good; fuffy, sweet, and nice size. 2) Bacon cheeseburger: very tasty juicy burger that came with all the appropriate fixins. the entire burger was covered with crispy bacon. it also arrived with a ton of hot fries. 3) Monday special: Homemade chicken enchiladas. this entree comes with two shredded chicken enchiladas covered in a mild sauce, basic refried beans, and seasoned spanish rice. Not the best but decent. 4) spinach salad: this entree looked fresh and inviting. fresh spinach leaves, covered with fresh strawberries, pieces of cold chicken, avocados slices, and real crispy bacon bits. dressing arrived on the side. very nice salad even with the cold chicken. 5) garden omelette: filled with veggies(spinach, bell peppers, onions, zucchini). my only complaint: slightly overcooked which makes a fuffy omelette into a somewhat tough scrambled egg omelette. This dish also comes with 2 large pancakes. there were a few little mishaps. it took some time before our wait staff took our order and even longer before our food arrived. The eggs were a little runny, omelette was a tad overcooked, and cold pieces of chicken in the salad. Hence just 3 stars.

I am excited about the take-out option for the student-run Oak Café because I have been wanting to…read moretry the lunch meals cooked by American River College Hospitality Management program students, ever since 2020 when my party and I happily got reservations, but unfortunately, pandemic lockdown happened! Fast forward today, and wow!! Everything in the meal for this week that I ordered (see photos) was full of flavor! I was blown away and sooo full, after savoring every bit, that I needed to save some for another day. The duck spring rolls and ginger cranberry chutney were so delicious that I wished I could have more! The Thai grilled chicken was juicy and PACKED with mouth watering curry spices and flavors, while being perfectly paired with the ginger noodles. The ginger noodles had a kick, and I am a weakling when it comes to even mild spice, so I was relieved by the rolls that balanced out the noodles and chicken. I have enjoyed many scrumptious baked goods, including my fav breakfast biscuit sandwich with eggs and lemon squares, made by the students and sold in the Oak Café, so it was such a treat today to finally be able to enjoy their cooking talents for my lunch also. I look forward to another pleasant meal cooked by the talented ARC students, and cross my fingers for a dine-in reservation in the future!

Surely no one gets excited about hospital food. Most of us have seen the typical meal selection:…read moremiddle school-quality burgers, Caesar salads in plastic takeout boxes, and any other unappetizing items that you can typically find in a middle-of-nowhere gas station. Fortunately, the UC Davis Medical Center cafe excels far beyond the stereotype. They carry an impressive variety of food stations, two of which rotate through different specials each day of the week. Regardless of what cuisine they choose for the day -- Korean, Mediterranean, etc -- it always tends to lean toward the healthy side (as they should, it's literally a hospital). My favorite has to be the mushroom chicken because it has that characteristic smokey Chinese flavor. For the less adventurous people, their Nourish Salad and Homestyle Chicken with quinoa and green beans also make decent choices. Combo meals cost a very acceptable $8-10. Admittedly, the cafe sometimes gets carried away with their ambitions. I chuckle a bit seeing Mapo Tofu and Chicken Bulgogi on the menu. They're nothing like their authentic counterparts but still taste miles better than typical hospital food. That's what ultimately gives the cafe its 5th star; one for creativity, four for healthiness, affordability, and taste. I'm not going out of my way to visit, but the food here makes the hospital experience way less depressing.

They are also always adding to it too, which I absolutely love as a big foodie who doesn't always like eating the same things. I believe most things also made from scratch, so do expect to wait a little bit. Be patient for good food lol. I have not disliked not one thing so far! My highlights would be the loaded breakfast sandwich and the chicken katsu, but really you can't go wrong with anything here. Overall I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

We had the Wild Pitch (Chicken breast with your choice of melted cheese and spicy ranch sauce), the Say Hey Kid (Hot pastrami and your choice of melted cheese), macaroni salad, and soft drinks. The Wild Pitch was on Sourdough (their bread is terrific!), huge in size and was full of chicken chunks. Very tasty and a definite do again. The Pastrami was on Sweet French (once again, wonderful), also huge and loaded with lean, thin sliced, Pastrami (probably from Sysco). I am some what of a Pastrami freak and this definitely wasn't my style. The Mac Salad was not home made and likely straight out of the bucket from Sysco. Basic salad is the best way to describe it. The sandwiches are somewhat limited in terms of proteins. Chicken and turkey dominate the starting lineup with pastrami and roast beef are pinch hitters. Totally missing are the traditional deli standards such as salami, mortadella, ham, and capicola combination sandos. Despite what the website says, they do have fountain sodas. It is Pepsi centered but lacks Pepsi Zero (it does have Diet but not the DW's fav). The website says the Pure Leaf Tea is $2.75 but was billed at $4.00. Better Pastrami and salads would have made this a 5 rating rather than a 4. We will return but only for the bread and chicken/turkey.
