I am a sucker for Halal/Mediterranean food; and when I found out about all these amazing flavors…read morecoming from a mobile food truck, I had to see and taste what all the fuss was about. This takes me to "812 Grill" which has slowly gained a small cult following through social media since opening back in mid-2024. Located in a large outdoor strip mall on busy Watt Ave in North Highlands, 812 Grill is tucked smack dab in between Freedom Park Dr and Karl Dr. Parking was easy to find as there aren't a whole lot of businesses close to where they are located. I came here during the afternoon on Sunday 1/18/2026 at around 4:30pm. For those wondering, they are open for business Tuesday through Sunday from 11am-9pm and closed on Monday. You also have the option of placing your order online for pickup or delivery (DoorDash, Uber Eats, & Postmates). Since I did neither, I ordered my food the old fashioned way and that was at the ordering station area of the truck. I went with what was arguably their most popular item, the "Chicken Shawarma". They carry these in chicken as well as beef while you can also opt fora complete meal with fries. In addition to the Shawarma, they also specialize in a Halal-style cheeseburger as well as raptor fries (available in chicken or beef), wings, chopped cheese, and several lemonade flavors. And when my shawarma was ready, the pager they provide you sets off a chirping beep. Total time it took from when I ordered to when I got my food was about 10 minutes. After making the 15-minute drive back home, I unwrapped this thing and was ready to judge how good this was. As you can see from the photo, the size of this thing is massive as it is roughly about a foot long. And after the first bite, I enjoyed the seasoned and tender pieces of grilled chicken as they definitely did not disappoint. This wrap also included lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and the signature sauce. The only reason for a deduction in the rating is that it was a little soggy which probably tastes a LOT better as soon as it is handed to you but nonetheless, it was above average. All in all, "812 Grill" was well worth the price and at $11.99 for a ton of food, you can't go wrong. The young man that took my order was polite while the truck was easy to identify, even from busy Watt Ave. With excellent tasting food, reasonable prices, above average service, and generous hours of operation, I am giving 812 Grill a respectable four star rating.

Stopped by after work for a few drinks and WOW... I was seriously blown away…read more The cocktails here are legit. The gentleman working the bar was attentive, friendly, and clearly knows what he's doing. Every drink was incredibly well-made, creative, and delicious. You can tell there's some real thought and skill going into the bar program. The vibe is also fantastic. Cool, laid-back decor with some awesome portraits of a few absolute GOATs on the walls--Dave Chappelle, Anthony Bourdain, and others. Definitely gives the place some personality and makes it feel like somewhere you actually want to hang out. I didn't get a chance to try the food this time, but I cannot wait to come back for the veggie burger. If the cocktails are any indication of the quality coming out of the kitchen, I'm expecting to be very happy. Great drinks, great atmosphere, and clearly a place that knows how to do things right. Already looking forward to my next visit.

It is located in a strip mall, so there is only so much they can do with the ambiance, but they have done a great job creating a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere despite that.

It is open seating...so just choose a table and sit...the wait staff will be there soon. We started with water and ordered the mini duck tacos which were 20.00. They are very tiny. Maybe 1 or 2 bites. The duck is crispy...the shell crispy...the crema was delicious. We also ordered the sweet chili wings..ALL I CAN SAY IS OH MY GOSH...THESE WERE ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS . the order comes with five wings for $18.75. These wings are crispy with a sweet chili glaze , which is wonderful. The flavor though...they are a must try. We also ordered the Goat cheese wood fire pizza. It was 21.00 It comes with shiitake mushrooms...garlic...spinach...red onion and we added pepperoni. This pizza was incredible. The flavor was so so good. The crust was soft and perfect. If you are looking gor a great meal..try Sammy's. I already plan on going back.

First time here today, and we had our youngest with us, who had been here before…read more We ordered the mac 'n cheese balls and wings as a meal, the Eureka American, and the fish tacos from the lunch menu. I enjoyed my burger and fries. It was a good deal as a lunch menu item, which is offered until 3 p.m. The fish tacos were decent (maybe a little on the bland side) but still a nice option to have. The wings were dry, which our kid said isn't usually the norm since they order them regularly, but the mac 'n cheese balls were a hit, as usual. Service here is friendly, and the hostesses were warm and welcoming when we first walked in. Our server, Jessica B., was friendly and accommodating, offered solid recommendations, and checked in with us frequently without being overbearing. Our biggest bone to pick, though, was with the chairs in the outdoor seating area. All three of us were uncomfortable and hurting after a relatively short amount of time. I'd definitely recommend grabbing a booth inside, and that's what we'll likely do.

Best breakfast around!!!!…read more We are such regulars at this place, it feels like walking into grandmas house now. We eat here Atleast twice a month usually on a Sunday morning. There is hardly ever a wait, which is so nice when you're hungry and ready to sit down. They make all their own pastries and baked goods! If you order a meal that comes with it make sure to try a scone! They are delightfully light and fluffy, just heavenly honestly! They squeeze fresh orange juice! Some top breakfast choices are the Chicken fried steak, eggs Benedict, pancakes, Belgian waffle and omelettes! Their potatoes are homemade style and everything tastes fresh and homemade! Nothing from a mix or a package here. I had my cousins in from the bay and i took them here and their minds were blown. They could not stop saying this was the best breakfast they had in a loooong time. After moving here from San Diego Where any good breakfast spot had an hour wait, I feel lucky to have this gem available to us. The place is decorated like home, with comfortable tables and booths. We have also been for dinner a few times and always leave full and happy. They also have mimosas and beer and wine. I recommend the mango mimosa, it has cut up mango and is super yummy!

Got my potatoes done extra crispy. This was soo good and I was really happy that it was a real steak and not some meat patty. Gravy was also delicious. Their menu alludes to a lot of secret recipes which is kind of fun. On the table is their proprietary seasoning salt, which definitely tastes good and enhanced the flavor of my eggs. I would definitely come back here. Very family friendly and clean. There was zero wait and plenty of parking.

It was a nice surprise to see a hand written "Congratulations and Happy Anniversary" card. A complimentary treat of Focaccia bread with avocado and kimchi was given as well as a glass of champagne for the both of us. Our waiter was helpful, offering his opinion on what wine to take. We went for whatever he suggested for white (for her) and red (for me). Both were good picks. Our dinner started with toasted focaccia bread. She ordered a Caesar salad also. The appetizer was 3 large slices of bread with stracciatella and pear compote. The bread was light and buttery. The stracciatella was good blending well with the bread. The Caesar salad was a big serving. Tasty and simple, nothing special. Our main entree was filet mignon for my wife and wagyu rib eye for me, both medium rare. The filet was topped with garlic confit and I added chimichurri to my ribeye. The plating was simple, the protein with the side and roasted garlic. We also added smashed potatoes to share. Our first bite was the meat itself with no dressing. I can taste why the steak was priced that way. It just melted in my mouth and left a nice smooth aftertaste. We exchanged bites, she felt the same way and I agreed that her filet was perfect. After adding the roasted garlic and chimichurri, the slices were heavenly. The surprise for me was the smashed potatoes. First time trying this dish and I was impressed. The crispness of the skin was a nice surprise. The butter and garlic added another layer of flavor. We topped our dinner with a toffee bread pudding with vanilla ice cream and caramel. I'm not a dessert person but this, this was good! Overall it was a great dinner. The food was excellent. The staff was amazing. Of course, my date was beautiful. Thank you Butcher and Barrel for an awesome dinner experience!

We got the spinach artichoke dip (7/10), maple bourbon pork belly (6/10), 14 oz ribeye (6/10), and Wagyu Tomahawk (7/10). The ribeye was okay, really salty. The tomahawk show was really cool, I highly recommend getting it to see it in fire. Other than that, it's fancy inside, nice for a dinner date or grabbing a drink.
