This is my first time coming here. I usally dont have a chance to eat out as much as I would like,…read morebut vecause of work, I was able to try here since I've seen it a few times as i pass by for work. I dont come to Jackson CA, city that often other than work, but i was hungry to try somewhere new. At first, coming in, made it feel very old school and homey feeling. Still holding on to traditional looks and feels. I love that about this place. When it came to seating me and ordering, it was pretty quick, I did pop in at about 2ish and got my food at about 245, not bad on time but it was the lunch hour rush, I couldnt expect much. I order the sourdough burger and i got it with the 1/3pound patty instead of the 1/4 pound. I believe it was the best choice for this kind of burger and I dont think it was a bad choice either. I really recommended this place, especially since its been here for 70+ years! Thank you for a good time and for the food!

Mel & Faye's isn't just a diner to us... it's home…read more This place will always hold a special spot in our hearts. We moved out of state, and we still haven't found...and probably never will find...another place quite like Mel & Faye's. It's the food, the drinks, the service, but more than anything, it's the people. My go-to is the cranberry walnut salad with chicken (so good!), and Sean loves the sourdough burger. The food is always great, but honestly, we come back for the atmosphere and the people who make this place feel like family. Mary is always a hoot as our server, and we absolutely love the entire staff. Bart and Maura have created something really special here, and we appreciate them more than they know. Every time we come back to town, one of the things we look forward to most is walking through those doors, seeing familiar faces, catching up, and feeling right at home again. We miss everyone when we're away, but it makes our visits that much more special. Mel & Faye's will always be our home away from home.

We're from Lodi and were only in Sacramento for a doctor's appointment, but ROC & SOL Diner just…read moregave us a reason to stop here every single time we're in the area. Probably some of the best hash browns I've ever had. I ordered the steak and eggs, and even for your average American breakfast steak, this thing was DELICIOUS. It didn't taste frozen or cheap it tasted fresh, was cooked perfectly, and was just pure deliciousness. Raul was our server and was awesome. Super attentive, friendly, and made sure we were taken care of the entire time. Somebody needs to give Raul a raise and while you're at it, give the chef one too because whoever is back there cooking clearly knows what the hell they're doing. Excuse the picture I got way too excited and started destroying the food before I remembered I wanted to leave a review. Halfway through breakfast I thought, "Damn, I should probably take a picture of this." I'll do better next time, because there WILL definitely be a next time. Highly recommend ROC & SOL Diner. Phenomenal food, great service, and absolutely worth the stop.

The menu looked pretty interesting so what the heck. It's located right in the middle of downtown, or what I'd consider downtown at the intersection of 10th and "S" streets. I thought there might be a parking problem, but they have a small lot to park in. The building is painted all kinda new age like. On the menu I saw the chicken fried steak. One of my crew got the fish and chips since it was sort of lunch time. The other crew member got an omelet kinda thing served with hashbrowns. Inside the dining area, it looked nicely decorated and clean. The service was friendly and efficient. Our food arrives and it all lookes tasty. My chicken fried steak was smothered in gravy. The gravy was thick, but not too thick. Those fish and chips looked good. All the crew liked the food here. It's not the cheapest food around, but this isn't a discount chain like Applebee's or something.

My wife and I have eaten here just the two of us, and today we came with three kids. The customer service is consistently excellent either way, and I wanted to make sure they got some well-deserved credit. Best for: Really good breakfast, great service, generous portions, and good value--especially for families. May not be the best fit if: You're looking for a quiet, spacious, more upscale breakfast/brunch atmosphere. This is more of a comfortable, busy neighborhood restaurant where the food and service are the stars.

I ordered the beef barley soup and the potatoes and beef in the soup were still frozen! They were nice to reheat it for me. I really liked the ube French toast.

Manager also made sure to talk to us, asked our needs, and made some recommendations. He told us everything was made fresh at Chubby's including the bread. It was a family style diner restaurant that makes you feel like you're back in the 1950s. I really enjoyed my meal, and so did my friends. I suggest getting the Mr. Chubby burger.

A great little breakfast spot. Street parking, we came on a Monday so we didn't have a problem looking for parking but I'm sure on the weekend it's crazy. Will definitely be back.

Maple Sage Fried Chicken. My favorite! The chicken is uniquely textured and the sweet sage flavor really makes it stand out. As a person who is actually not a big breakfast food fan, I think this dish has the right balance of breakfast hashbrowns, toast, and eggs mixed with "regular food," the chicken. 2. The strawberries and cream stuffed French toast was pretty good. One of my daughters had this dish and enjoyed it. 3. The house pancakes. My wife thought she has had much better classic pancakes at Orphan and Sunnyside, but they were decent. Probably would not get again. Great service as always. Thanks, guys, for a great start to a day of farmers market venturing (right next door).

We needed some dinner quick and I checked the GPS and this Black Bear Diner came up nearby. I've had pretty good luck with Back Bear in the past, so I decide to come here. The inside looks similar to all the other Black Bears, you'd expect that with a big chain like this. The server was over ight away and took my order. I've seen the fish and chips on the menu before, but never had it , till now! It arrives with 3 pretty decent sized fried fish pieces. It's some white fish, not sure which one, pretty sure it's not halibut though. It's probably pollock I think. It came with a big pile of chips (fries in American!) It included coleslaw and a salad. The salad was decent and had good tomatoes. The house 1000 island dressing was good too. The coleslaw was a bit too wet for my taste, but it is what it is here, I'd get more fries instead of the coleslaw. Someone else on the crew got the steak and eggs and another got some slad with meat on ot, I forgot wha tit was called. Overall it was a good experience and I'd come back.
