Lil Biscuit & gravy on the side, not smothered on the biscuit.
Martha G.

Had a nice experience for breakfast on Sunday morning after church service. My sister ordered the Lil Biscuit & gravy on the side. The potatoes are often overlooked, but she stated they were as good as everything else on the plate. I ordered the special: Chicken N Waffle. The waffle was crispy and good. I have always had a piece of chicken on top of the waffle but they had 2 wings and 2 drumettes which was very odd to me. Overall, the restaurant has everything we look for - yummy food, friendly and efficient service and it was clean.

Red white and blue waffles and French toast breakfast
Rachel L.

Came here on Saturday morning and was quickly sat at a table with my boyfriend. I was craving a sweet breakfast and was kind of disappointed by the limited choices. I was super intrigued by the red white and blue waffles that they were promoting at the front so I ordered that, and my bf got the French toast breakfast. The food came shortly after we ordered and it was so delicious. The red white and blue waffles was super yummy, I was a little bit sad that they ran out of blueberries that day, but the chef gave me extra strawberries :+). I appreciate our waitress for checking up on us so often, the ambiance here is so lively and positive. I will definitely come again to eat the red white and blue waffles and try the mimosa.

Great service, food was delicious and generously portioned. Don't be fooled by the location. Once you walk in you'll know that this is the spot for brunch! I love that it's not just breakfast items. I got a club sandwich with onion rings. The coffee refill was on point.

Next to the Little Caesars parking lot. The restaurant isn't that big, BUT their plates are ‍ and the prices are reasonable. The staff is nice and attentive. The food was flavorful and a decent amount. We will definitely come back.

I've been in Sac a year and this has become OUR SPOT!!! We bring everyone here when they visit. 10s across the board for service, atmosphere, food, music. It's always on point!!!

Nice presentation

Service is always on point. Early burs specials are one-of the best in town and just the right amount of food that will leave you satisfied and not sleepy I cant say enough good things about this place!

Pancakes

Came here on Labor Day Monday with a group of seven, and we had such a great experience. The service was prompt, the wait time was short, and everything came out fresh and hot. I ordered the chicken fried steak and it was amazing - perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The mango mimosa was an even better addition, and honestly, I'd come back just for that. Every main dish also came with a side of fluffy pancakes, which were spot-on and made the meal feel complete. Now, I'll say the aesthetic isn't the fanciest, but that's not what you come here for. You come here for the service and the food, and they absolutely delivered on both. One detail that really stood out: my niece wanted a gumball from the machine by the register, and I didn't have a quarter. The young man at the register was kind enough to hand her one - such a small gesture, but it really showed how welcoming and family-friendly this spot is. Safe to say we left a good tip, and we'll definitely be back.

I have cancer, so I chose to replace the fried food that came with my meal with fruit because I'm trying to eat healthier. Unfortunately, the fruit I received was old and in very poor condition, which was extremely disappointing. I also asked for an extra toast and waited for about 30 minutes, but it never came. I asked three different employees about it, and unfortunately, no one seemed to care or follow up. I'm very disappointed with both the quality of the food and the service. I paid more and expected much better.

Chicken Fried Steak XL, pancakes & Mamba Mimosa

Went here with my family (Party of 13) for my birthday brunch. The staff are welcoming, friendly and quick. The food was delicious. This is a great spot for breakfast and we'll definitely be back.

I'm from out of town and have been here twice - once during the weekend (when there's a wait time) and once during the weekday (around 8am when there was plenty of seating. This place is the perfect breakfast spot. Big portions, tasty food, great service. This is also a great place for brunch with PLENTY of mimosa offerings. There's lots of places to sit but again during the weekend it gets busy but thankfully it is attached to a parking lot. All in all come here for good ol' diner food! PS: special shout out to their huge pancakes and their hollandaise sauce!

California omelette
D. Reneé B.

Amazing amazing amazing! What an amazing brunch we had today at Hot Off the Griddle. Heather was super attentive to us. We ordered the California and the Southwestern omelettes. The hashbrowns and biscuit were delicious. The service was quick and the food was hot and delicious. It gives family dining. Like everyone is a regular! Loved it. 9/10

Had the pleasure of having breakfast here at Hot Off the Griddle. Our server was so nice and down to earth. We were greeted and were given water and menu. Let me say first , the portions are very very generous here. You will walk out full. I ordered an Eggs Benedict and wow, it was huge for breakfast. But I gobbled it all, well most of it lol. The eggs were cooked perfectly, nice a yolky as they should. The ham was thick. So very good. My potato bits were seasoned nicely and the dish had a side of fruits which was just the topper. I was very satisfied after my meal and with the service. Will have to come back when I'm in Sacramento. Plenty of seating inside and has a pretty chill vibe. There wasn't any loud music of that sort. It was pleasant eating breakfast here.

Solid breakfast place up north. I always seek a new spot to try on my early days, so this was perfect. In my opinion, this place is good, not great. My corned beef and hash was definitely not standard or the store bought variety, but it was slow cooked for 6 hrs and I appreciated that. The potatoes were well seasoned, but I prefer them to be crispier. Eggs are eggs. I always opt for an extra egg for the protein and to balance out the meal better. The biscuit was definitely made in house, but was a little dry for my taste. It was still palatable. They have a nice menu and place seemed pretty packed for a Wednesday late morning. The service is simple and quick. They have a very large counter area that I sat at and really liked. You have quite a bit of space. I took a video for you guys to appreciate the vibe. It's pretty straightforward, The food is definitely a little elevated, but not "knock your socks" off great, but that's okay. I think this is a great option for breakfast for Natomas natives or people nearby. Rec'd: corned beef hash, HOTG Benedict, and the chicken friend steak

Are you still offering outside dining? If yes, when is the best time to come to guarantee a seat outside? Thanks!

No small place, don't see we one would seat out side

Not this year Zach. We couldn't get the smoker going because of the rain this year so no Turkey. Just our normal house made Turkey breast for our sandwiches.

The food was bomb, especially the brunch burger -- genuinely a standout. The fries were really good too, no notes there. Staff were awesome and service was excellent the whole visit, keeping the energy going along with everything else. Pricing was a pleasant surprise -- $12 for a whiskey on the rocks is a solid deal, and the food was reasonably priced across the board too. Between the virtual golf, great food, good drinks at a fair price, and staff that keep the vibe going, this is an easy recommend. Come check this place out -- you won't regret it.

We were seated and had a server come up to the table immediately. He showed us where to find the Happy Hour menu. We were kind of bummed because there were only 3 drinks on the menu and then it turned out that the food menu was limited. We ended up paying full price for a Salted Caramel espresso martini. My friend ordered 2 blackberry margaritas. For food, she ordered the asada tacos and I ordered the fish tacos. We shared a house salad. Service was great, but we found out afterwards that they were out of the peppercorn vinaigrette. The chipotle lime vinaigrette was tasty, so it worked out, but how are you out of a dressing at the beginning of the evening? We were so pleased that they split the house salad into 2 bowls for us. It was a great salad. Both taco plates were tasty. We enjoyed them. The amount of curtido on the side was not the same and I could have totally gone for more! Our servers were very attentive. We got our check quickly and were able to split the check easily. The bathroom mirrors are SUPER cute!

Tonight I got the fried chicken dinner, dark meat of course, with macaroni and cheese, collard greens, a biscuit and sweet tea. That chicken was so tender and juicy, and the breading so savory. The macaroni and cheese was so creamy and chewy, the collard green with the turkey neck was just the right amount of savory with a little bit of black pepper spice. I wasn't super thrilled with the biscuit, it was a bit dense for my taste. My man got a cornbread muffin though, and that was awesome. I should've asked for the cornbread and then I could've dipped it in my greens juice. JC was a great server! She was patient and really good at explaining things, my mom had some questions about some of the seasonings used. She had our drinks on the table, ordered taken, and the food delivered to us within 15 minutes. Interior of the restaurant is homey and cozey, but a little bit modern too. They have a nice looking patio, but we didn't sit on it, we were worried it might get a little chilly as it got dark.

I liked that after a table is used then they sweep around it and really clean it and put a sanitized sign on it. We happened to be there before 6 pm so got a few happy hour special prices. Now to reason we stopped by, the food. We loved the artichoke dip, so cheezy. The fried chicken was delicious and moist. The biscuits and Mac and cheese were great as well. They even make their own dressing and I loved the dill ranch, yum! We saved room for dessert and loved the banana cream pudding with homemade whipped cream. Delicious!

Where do I begin?…read more First and foremost the front cashier was very pleasant and quick. She was also seen helping bring drinks and clean tables when not super busy. The catfish was juicy and flavorful. The batter was flaky and crispy. It came out piping hot and I loved it. I will 100% reorder. The red beans and rice had great spices and you can taste the seasonings in each bite. Very good and subtle in a way that gave me a break from the tenseness of the catfish and mac n cheese. A must have for sure. The Mac n Cheese is the best in sac from any restaurant. It's creamy, cheesy and again seasoned very well. I wish I had more room in my stomach for just more mac n cheese lol Cornbread was very well balanced. It came with cinnamon butter which I would probably ask not to have based on how I prefer my cornbread. Overall 9.3/10 for this specific order. I think anyone who is a fan of soul food would appreciate this place. I will be back very soon to try more entrees and side options. Remember this is a locally owned business and they are not McDonald's. Give them grace and respect when dining here. I 100% recommend this place.

The prices, though are a little bit higher than I expected . For instance, there was an heirloom tomato salad on the menu for $24. I would think (actually I would hope) that it would feed a few people for that price? I wanted to get a glass of wine but ended up getting a half glass for $8. Once you throw in tax and tip, you're looking at over $10 for a half glass of wine. Walking out, I was talking to one of the neighbors here and asked if he had been. He said that it seemed a bit pricey for him and that he'd rather have a glass at home. I did see the table next to us order a carrot dish that looked quite interesting. I think this place would be great for a date night rather than a casual night out for instance or if you're just tired of sitting at home solo drinking lol.
