Go see Jody and ask for the Golden Butterfly -- The Brunswick with a double patty, a medium-fried egg, and bacon. If you can handle a little heat, drizzle every bite with hot sauce. Trust me... you're welcome. It's one of those hidden gems where only those who know, know. Then go find Johnny and let him know just how good it was. Honestly, no matter what you order, you're not going to be disappointed. Come for Jody's burgers, stay for the pool, and discover a new place to hangout. read more

This an okay place to go if you want a late night bite to eat. The service was great, as soon as we walked in we were greeted by the staff. The place was not full but it wasn't empty. There were couples playing pool and a group of people playing a gambling card game. Me and my husband both got their cheeseburger meal and his was a beer combo. The meal was really pricey and consisted of mostly fries and a mini burger. In order to get enough satisfaction I would need probably three of these burgers as they were the size of sliders. I would be better off going to McDonald's for the price. But if you like fries more than burgers then go for it . The fries were also really salty. The burger had great flavor but it needed to be bigger. I see this as a place where drunk people go. read more

Ordered the Legendary Cheeseburger $10 and added $4.50 to make it a combo with fries and a drink. A $10 cheeseburger should be bigger than a burger from the dollar menu at McDonalds. It came wrapped in paper and I could tell it was going to be small by looking at the wrapping. It tasted ok but farrrr from being the "Best Burger in Town" You can get a much better and larger burger from Chilis, BJs or even Sky River. You get a large portion of fries but it doesn't make up for the cheeseburger. Sign out front should be changed to "200th Best Burger in Town" and I'm being generous. Revamp that burger. Service was great and area was clean. read more

I was jonesin for a burger and decided to drop in at the jointed cue and guess what....their grill is back!! And they have added "the best burgers in town" on their sign out front for a reason. They truly make an excellent burger here. It has the perfect level of juicy drippiness and comes with grilled diced onion, which in my opinion tastes like perfection. And they don't drench their burgers with sauce that kills the flavor of the beef. The burgers are delicious and although the counter is new the Jointed Cue truly vibes with an old school community feel. I'll def read more

One of my favorite pool rooms in the world. (of the ones I've played in) Probably holds the top spot since the unfortunate demise of Hollywood Billiards in San Francisco. I really adore the back room, where they have bleachers so you can watch the matches. Some of the seats are showing wear, but the important stuff, the tables, are beautifully maintained and play true. They support the West Coast Women's Tour, and give us enough tables to keep it rolling nicely. I love the memorabelia for the old school players. The staff is great, and the food is good. read more

Always a good time a Jointed Cue. Order a double-bacon cheeseburger combo every time. Don't miss out by missing the hot sauce on the counter, add that to your burger along with the ketchup and it's gold. Burger is always hot and bacon crispy. Pool tables are usually open minding peak hours. read more

I saw someone online recommend this place for a good burger in Sacramento so my buddy and I decided to check them out the other day. We both got their cheeseburger with fries and beer combo. The burger was simple and a little on the smaller side but still tasted great. They also give you a mountain of fries which was nice considering most places skimp out on the fries. The service and ambiance were both great as well. It's a no thrills pool hall with plenty of billiards tables available. My only complaints were two. First, they only offered bottled beers with the combo instead of draft and their draft options were lackluster. Second, it felt like there wasn't an AC system and I didn't notice any fans inside so it got warm and musty pretty quick while playing pool. Overall, however, I really enjoyed the place. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying other options like their breakfast burritos and quesadillas which looked really good. read more

This place was just well, the worst. Went in and had a few questions. At first seemed like normal business. Kinda cool ambiance employees all seemed great. Then on a Sunday I go in and had the most unfortunate encounter with a man I learned was the owner name was Shawn. Place was not super busy but he acted as if I was just some kind of nuisance, like how dare I come in and need to order food a drink and get a table, dismissed my attempt to be pleasant and talked over me 3-4 times before I gave up and just. Walked away, unfortunate that he was even there. This was my 10th visit or so and he made sure I never wanted to go back read more

This place has a lot of history... in some ways, it's like walking through a pool museum. Pictures, memorabilia and old brackets from the golden age of pool adorn the walls - names like Ronnie Allen, Terry Bell and Jimmy Mattaya dust off the memories. It's a good vibe, friendly people, friendly staff. They open earlier than most pool halls and serve breakfast. This morning, I tried a breakfast burrito for the first time and it was great! They offer them with sausage, bacon or hot links. I chose the hot link version and it didn't disappoint! The pool tables are kept in good condition - they're a mixture of Brunswick, Diamond and Rasson brands. They also have a couple carom tables if that's your thing... one of the few places in town with those. read more

Renovated about 3 years ago, breathed in some new life into one of my favorite pool halls. Trained & practiced lot here with Sac State's Pool Club in the past. If you're looking for some action that's not as far as Hard Times in Carmichael, this is your spot. Food is still just as fire, burger is a must have if it's your first time. I don't know why it's so good here it's a sleeper spot for sure! - $12/hr solo , $17/hr 2 or more players - $120 Monthly Memberships for Unlimited Play / Practice ($75 after the 15th of the month) - Back Tournament Room Friendly - I believe 9ft tables - 2 Private Bathrooms Friendly staff, will take care of you nice and quick. Good service at the bar. read more

The other reviews were so glowing. The burgers were overrated. And fries weren't much better. I was hoping for more.

Would absolutely come again! Staff is super friendly and cleanliness is spot on. Only paid $26 for 2 hours of playing time and 2 food items, super budget friendly. Place has a very welcoming ambiance overall! read more

Jody behind the counter brings all the vibes with her friendly personality and her skill on the grill! Her attention to the craft reflects in a burger that is rich and full of flavor in every bite. read more

Johnny tried to scam me on Wednesday. June 24, 2026. Yes I understand $20 is NOT a lot of money but Johnny went ahead and tried scamming me for $10 when I played ONE HOUR of pool not 2. I simply went up and asked for the receipt and we argued and he then called me a b*tch. As a 22 year old costumer I do NOT appreciate being called a b*tch for simply asking how my bill was $10 more than it should have been. Do better. read more

We stopped in for dinner. The guy taking our order was on point. Had patience and made suggestions for us. Our food came out quickly and Jodi the cook was awesome. She came out and checked on us a couple of times. The burger and fries were perfect. Definitely will be coming back. read more

Went there to try the burger since I heard it was voted as one of the best in the area. Took my son and was happy to grab a spot at the bar otherwise seating is limited. Burger was good, onion rings were also good. My son also enjoyed it but wouldn't put it at the top of the list. Price makes it better and would probably order to go next time. read more

Great food perfect customer service Jody help me out this afternoon and she did not disappoint.

Great burgers and the fries love em. highly recommend. Must try. Hidden Gem. You can play pool too.

The food here is delicious and great quality! I frequently order the carne asada fries during my lunch times. The fries are always hot and crisp with fresh meat and toppings made to order right in front of you. The service is always great and you can expect a great experience when the billiard tables are full and everyone is enjoying the atmosphere. read more

Looking for something to do after the car show we ended up at this place. From the outside it's deceivingly small but when you enter it's a big space. I'd say about 10-12 tables, not all pool tables some were the ones with no pockets (I was tryna learn the game and forgot the name) Anyways ladies play free on Wednesday's so we definitely stayed for a game. Had we not just eaten, there were some yummy smells coming from their grill and it looked like a popular place to grab dinner for locals. 10/10 would return read more

$27.50 for a double bacon cheeseburger fries and a drink. I can get a gourmet burger for that price. I used to go to this place all the time but not anymore read more

Not a good experience at all. The staff, especially the owner, came across as rude and unwelcoming. The atmosphere felt uncomfortable, and there was a clear lack of basic customer service. I wouldn't return or recommend this place. read more

The service and the food here was amazing! I ordered a cheeseburger with tater tots and a soda. They literally are the best burgers in town. They burger was so good that I forgot to take a picture before I ate and I had to order a second burger right away. The staff was really friendly and the chef was really sweet.

I last played pool here about 30 years ago, but I came in on this visit to try the burger. I ordered the double bacon cheeseburger regular fries and a water. It came as meal deal costing $18 dollars and change. The burger did not look particularly big or amazing, but it was very good. The bacon was thick and tasty, it resembled the bacon that you get wrapped up from a meat counter in a grocery store. The burgers were average size, but the cheese melt was exceptional, and the burger was very juicy and delicious. The fries were shoestring and I ate them all. They had a nice beer selection, but I came for lunch and it was too early for me to drink. read more

I mean, it's a pool hall! The cashiers are friendly and pleasant. All of the tables I've ever played at are in good shape. The gaming room itself is kept relatively clean. The restrooms are passable and kept well stocked. I've never tried any of their food but people seem to enjoy it. read more

Obviously I came back here to get one of their delicious burgers!!! this time Robert was working after me and my sister ordered our burgers and fries we watched Robert cooking something on the grill it looked good, I asked him what he was making and he said a tuna melt i haven't had a tuna melt in years so we decided to order one, I'm so glad we did, it was cooked to absolute perfection the bread was crispy and the cheddar cheese gave it that perfect tuna melt taste loved every bite!!!! read more

Now this is a pool hall, lots of tables! And even more in the back room for tournaments. The tables were all well taken care of and clean, pool sticks had tips and weren't warped. They even have burgers and other food items as well as beer. The food is good though. Burgers are tasty and the fries are nice and crispy. I will say, it is a little pricy for the per hour rate to play pool. If I remember correctly, we paid $14 an hour on a Saturday afternoon. But I guess this is the norm for a pool hall versus a dive bar. read more

The new Rasson tables are very nice, but the burgers are still the star of the show...especially if you don't play pool. They may not make the prettiest burger in town, but it's one of the best tasting. read more

First off this place is a community staple and I am so glad they're back in business. A minor set back closed them down for a while. This was my go to spot for a good O'l bacon cheeseburger. A spot my cousins and I use to dine at and shoot the S$$$. At one point I could eat a triple patty.. it's been a few years since I last had their food. Today was the day I had to see if the burgers and atmosphere was the same as I remembered. Yes, it was I went in around Noon'ish and the pool hall was packed, people playing pool, tournaments in full effect. Okay on to the food, I ordered the classics cheeseburger and added bacon. I was convinced to make it a meal so I got the fries too with a Coke and their crushed ice, umm delicious. I placed my order to go and the wait time was not long at all. The first bite brought back memories of bitting into a delicious burger. Followed by a pause, I asked for No Mayo and got mayo, I dislike mayo on a burger, don't judge. I am a mustard/ketchup burger kinda women. I wiped off the mayo and still enjoyed the taste and flavor. The fries are the same, not over cooked not cooked in days old grease. Washed my meal down with an ice cold Coke, although I wish they had Pepsi products. Which I believe they use to, maybe someone familiar with this spot can contest to my memory. I was completely satisfied. read more

We used to come here all the time like 15 years ago just for the burgers but had since forgotten about it over the years. Me and my husband have picked the hobby of playing pool back up and have been frequenting bars with pool tables which can be hit or miss in getting a table or finding a pool stick that isn't broken. One day my husband said what about Jointed Cue and I was immediately flooded with memories of this place we drove over and not much has changed. Still servicing tasty dive bar type of food and lots of pool tables. They also have a back room for tournaments as well. We paid $15 an hour which is a little steep considering we can play 3 games for $5 at several different bars but again, Jointed Cues tables are in much better condition. For a Saturday around 5pm they several open tables so no wait times. They do serve beers as well. Glad my husband remembered this spot, now we don't have to venture all the way to midtown for a few games of pool. read more
