Tasty, fresh, healthy, clean eating. Always a ton of food, I usually have plenty for 2 meals. I think I've tried every variation on the Mixto bowls. My favorite is probably the tofu, and sadly, my least favorite is the Carnitas, which is more like meh pulled pork, not much seasoning and not crispy. The diced tomatillos and pickled onions are tart and delicious and provide a nice contrast to the heavier elements. Usually add avocado as well. All the sauces are good. I always get the hot sauce, and generally both green and red. The green smoothie is tasty, hydrating and not too sweet. I love having this option downtown. It's nice to be able to get something relatively quickly that you don't feel bad about eating, and the cost is more than fair. I've seen a number of folks complain about the protein portions here. They aren't huge, maybe 4 oz? That is plenty for me, particularly with the millet and beans, but if you're worried about having more protein, you can add on extra when you place your order, it's not terribly expensive to do so.

Super impressed with this place and all it has to offer! I'm so jealous of the locals that live…read morenearby and can hang out here on any given day. Being so close to the university, I would expect more students to be here, but each time I've come (2), the crowd skews 30-40s. Lots of families and small children too. I love the concept of a food hall where everyone can get what they want. And with the convenience of table side ordering, there are no lines and people can really enjoy hanging out and chatting while the food is cooked and arrives. I will say my one complaint is that everything is served to go with very little reusable dishware, which creates lots of paper waste. All dishes come with the right accoutrements too - ketchup for fries, onion and cilantro for the Birria ramen. Offerings: - Birria Ramen: super good flavor and good quality meat. I would have liked it to be served in a different container, perhaps there is a bowl option I missed. 4/5 - Okie Dokies Burger: Calling all onion lovers to this place! It did also have great overall flavor and was cooked well. 5/5 - Okie Dokies Fries: Crinkle cut fries, these were just fine. A little seasoning would have made these better. 3/5 - Hawaiian Calzone: Surprisingly good! I really enjoyed the mix of flavors and the calzone wasn't as bready as most come. 4/5. - Kru hand rolls and sushi: It's Kru, it's good. The quality, flavors, everything. 5/5.

We visited The Line for the first time for a friend's birthday and this is a great spot for get…read moretogethers and celebrations! It fits a lot of people and allows everyone to order from different types of vendors- But let me back things up... The Line is right off Elvas Avenue and has a great space that offers outdoors seating as well as some covered "indoor" seating. The indoor area would definitely be protected from the elements on a bad weather day, but is more open concept and keeps it feeling indoor/outdoor especially for the nice days. I think they have a dirt/gravel lot next door, but it's not clearly marked other than a smaller sign saying "Private property" and that you need the owners permission to park- so is the owner the Line and if you're a customer you have permission? Or is the lot owned by someone else... we opted to park on the street to avoid any confusion. There is a good amount of street parking in the area and a lot is two hour parking (except on weekends when it's unlimited)- always read the parking signs though. The inside is fresh and modern and green with plenty of seating. There are two bars where you can order drinks that include beer, wine, alcoholic kombucha, cider, seltzers and non-alcoholic options. There is something for everyone. There are QR codes on the tables that you can scan to order food from the ghost kitchens to your table. Many people in our group were confused by the way it's set up- when we stopped in Garden of Eat'n was the default and many people in my group didn't even realize you could scroll at the very top to see the other restaurants. Maybe having the front greeting screen be a list of all the businesses would be better so it shows off the variety, because they have some great options here. We got drinks from the bar and hung out and eventually we ordered some food. From the "Small Bites & Sweets" menu we got Ranch Cheese Curds ($13.99) and Deep Fried Pickles ($12.99). I would say these were a bit expensive for the portion, and the fried pickles could have been a bit crispier on the outside but both options had good flavor and they were a crowd pleaser. We also got Jumbo tenders (3 for $15), a side of pickles (a decent sized container $5) and and extra fuego sauce ($1) from Nash and Proper. The jumbo tenders seem a bit more expensive compared to the online prices for the other location- but in this economy maybe that's the new price. Nash and Proper is always delicious though and the side of pickles goes so well with the spicy chicken. I also got the Primo Combo ($21) from Okie Dokies which comes with their Okie DOkie burger, fries and a dirty soda of choice- I got the I'm in Love with the Coco which is Dr.Pepper and cream of coconut. I also added another side of pickles ($5) and an extra sauce ($1). The burger came out fresh and hot and was super flavorful. I actually added some Nash and Proper Fuego Sauce to the burger which is a unique opportunity since they're both here and that was great. The OD sauce is a bit sweet for me, but other people really liked it. The drink was refreshing and the fries were cooked well too. I placed each order separately for each vendor, but I wonder if I could have added multiple vendors to my cart before ordering because there was a $0.88 service charge on each order on top of tip and tax. I'll have to test it out next time. When you have multiple people in your group there's definitely going to be people wanting to order from different spots. This spot is open and dog and kid friendly. There were some parents that were letting their kids stray a bit far from them and we ended up with some random kids under our table playing with sand. We also had some parents chase their kids through our group. If you don't like kids you may want to reconsider or maybe head in later in the day, or scope out a more secluded corner. All the dogs were leashed when we were here and were very well behaved. If it wasn't so hot we would have brought our dog. Speaking of hot, it is going to get HOT here. We were there around 4pm on a Sacramento spring 75 degree day and the sun was pounding down on us until it set. I definitely got burnt and I forgot my sunglasses so I was constantly changing my position, squinting or covering my eyes to be able to talk to our group. Once the sun went down it was so much better. I hope they add some umbrellas, misters and other summer friendly accessories to keep people coming once it really heats up. Overall, we had a great time and while this spot is new and will undoubtedly go through some adjustments as they experience their first summer we're already planning to go back.

Thank you to the organizers of the Sacramento Vegan Chef Challenge (and to my friend, Allison, for…read morereminding me about it). Without you, I never would have known about Rider's Ranch. Overall, this might have been one of the best meals I've had, and I eat a lot of delicious bougie stuff... New England Clam Chowder: I really love clam chowder and I say with confidence that I could eat this instead any day. It is obviously not an exact 1:1, but it is pretty close, and delicious enough to replace it. It was thick, creamy, salty, and packed with flavor. The texture of mushrooms is pretty much the same as clams in this type of soup. Pumpkin & Sage Lasagne: Is this bliss? This is the best lasagna I've ever eaten in my life, possibly one of the best dishes I've ever eaten. I was quite sad to share it with my partner. It's an even better cheese flavor and texture than real cheese, and the pumpkin was subtle but clear, spiced well (not spicy, just spiced). The nuts added a nice crunchy texture, the pasta was soft (a little chewy the next day - yes! We ate it the next day and it was fine in the microwave), and the rest of it was creamy. Caramel Apple Layer Cake: And a perfect cake, to wrap the meal nicely with a bow on top. Cinnamon-y, soft, spongey but not too airy - I like my cakes to have some density. The icing was smooth and creamy. The slices of apples... I am actually salivating right now, and feeling a little grief that I will probably never get to eat this meal again lol The caramel glaze was light and a nice touch - not very overpowering, which was nice. The dream was beautiful and now every waking moment with the memory of it brings me a little sadness over a lot of desire. I want more... MORE!!!!

I loved being able to make a reservation for a group that large without having to call anyone. My group gradually fell from 16 to 6 last minute, and it was great being able to easily make those updates online. Turns out it was also their Friday night murder mystery. We had a little section close by, so we could hear a lot of it, which was fun. We come here often for carb loading before a race, and the food is always solid. Ordered the garlic cheese bread with a side of their dill dressing & a large side of mizithra broccoli as an appetizer. Meal was garlic mizithra which comes with mushrooms and bacon, and another large side of mizithra broccoli for dinner. Can you tell I love the broccoli? Lol. Finished it off with vanilla ice cream & added caramel (yes, it's a thing!) Our server Matthew was absolutely fantastic. Can't rave about him enough for being so kind and courteous with me and all my neediness. He was great and had such a great attitude and great about communicating with us. Side note: the parking situation has recently changed, so half of their lot is closed off and you can't drive from the front around the side so it was harder than usual to find free parking. The side over the tracks was completely full. I ended up paying $10 for street parking, which wasn't great. It may have been worse because of the Friday night murder mystery, so just something to keep in mind!

Ambiance I drove into the parking lot like I have been doing for years. The alley or street has been blocked off by new owners of building next door. It was difficult to back out, chains blocking parking spots next door. I was basically trapped. This just seems mean spirited. I know it is not Spaghetti Factory's fault but there should be BIG SIGN at entrance of parking lot stating not a thru street. I have always gone in this way, drive towards the back and try to find parking on other side. Maybe Spaghetti Factory should attempt to work with new owners. I was told by server they are going to develop apartments. It will be a serious mess either way. Food Mizithra was a salt bomb sent it back, normally very good. Pasta overcooked. Rich Meat Sauce I have loved the rich meat sauce over the years but not today. Just lacked the flavor and tasted off, was barely edible. Ordered the Hearty portion so we can have leftovers, did not taste good warmed up so threw it out. The recipes are the recipes, whoever is making the meat sauce does not care. Spicy Spaghetti Vesuvius Never had it before but was tasty. Service It was busy but good. They don't cook the food. Will not return to this location anytime soon and go to Elk Grove instead. The food has gone downhill.

Everyone is friendly, and it just feels like one of those local places you're happy to keep coming back to.

Definitely a prime combo if you like a little heat to your morning or afternoon bite. We ended up taking some of their specialty strawberry jam and about half a dozen 'bag of day old bagels' to have through later in the week. Service: Everyone was friendly and welcoming. Today's visit was less busier than normal but everything usually comes out in a timely manner. PSA: Please do remember your order, as you'll be asked to repeat it. As the person that took your order will be turning straight into fulfilling it while the teller rings you up. Ambience: Unassuming and always bustling, this little mom-and-pop bagel shop thrives on efficiency rather than flash. The staff keeps the line moving with ease, the smell of fresh bagels fills the air, and the steady flow of regulars gives it a warm, neighborhood feel. Overall experience: A constant pick for us as a first stop for an early bite in Sacramento, when we want bagels, as the price and quality can't be beat.

I'm definitely a bagel person, I eat them for breakfast a few times a week but this was actually my first time ordering one with meat, and I'm glad I did. Noah's Bagels is located on a corner with a small shared parking lot, so parking can be limited. If the lot is full, there's also street parking nearby. The customer service was great. The employee who took our order was friendly, patient, and knowledgeable about the menu. We were also given the choice of eating inside or outside. Since it was such a beautiful day, we decided to sit outside, and it made for a relaxing breakfast. I ordered the Texas brisket, egg, and cheese on a plain bagel, while my girl ordered the ham, bacon, egg, and cheese on a spinach bagel. We both made our sandwiches into meals, which came with a drink and a small cheddar hash brown. I went with a large orange juice, and we also ordered a coffee, which they provide multiple options where you serve yourself. So we got vanilla which was really good. The highlight of my meal was definitely the brisket bagel. The brisket went well with the egg and cheese. Everything came together perfectly on the bagel. Since it was my first time having a meat-filled breakfast bagel, it definitely left a good impression. I also tried my girl's ham, bacon, egg, and cheese bagel, and that was really good too. The only disappointment was the cheddar hash brown. It just wasn't very good and was the weakest part of the meal. One thing to keep in mind is the price. Depending on what you order, the breakfast bagels are around $9-$11, and making it a meal adds another $4-$5. It's a little on the pricey side for breakfast, so it probably won't become a regular stop for me, but I still really enjoyed the food. Overall, this was a great first experience at Noah's Bagels. Good customer service, tasty breakfast sandwiches, excellent coffee, and a nice outdoor seating area made for a great start to the day. Thanks to my girl for suggesting we stop here!

I went to At Ease for trivia night and was excited to see a Nigerian fusion food truck posted up. I…read moreabsolutely love Nigerian food. There used to be a little spot on Northgate serving authentic Nigerian food, but it unfortunately went out of business during or after Covid, and I haven't been able to fill that craving since. Needless to say, I was excited. I loved that the truck had a screen to order from. It keeps things simple for customers and easy for the workers in the truck. Even then, the workers were fantastic and friendly, the truck itself was nice, and the menu was easy to follow. Good vibes all around. I will say it was a little expensive, but food trucks usually are these days. I also cut them some slack because Nigerian food isn't easy to make. Jollof rice alone can be an all-day affair of stewing. I also won't judge too harshly on authenticity since they label themselves as fusion. That being said, I ordered the bowl, which came with jollof rice (a $2 upgrade, understandable), spiced chicken, fried plantains, a small slaw-style salad, and "sweet mother" sauce. Starting with the jollof rice: absolutely delicious and tasted very authentic. It may have been slightly toned down on spice, but that makes sense for the food truck scene. The chicken was good and had a nice char and seasoning. My only gripe is that there wasn't much chicken at all, probably less than 4 oz. The fried plantains were amazing and one of my favorite parts. Nicely charred, almost bordering on burnt, which I personally like. The slaw-style salad was a nice touch and cut through the richness well, so that was actually a great addition. The sweet mother sauce, while I'm not totally sure what it was, was good but not super memorable. I was maybe expecting more of a peri-peri style sauce, but it did add a small hint of heat, which was nice. I'd definitely grab something from this truck again. At that price point, though, I'd like to see slightly larger protein portions next time and maybe a bit less rice since that made up the bulk of the meal. The flavors were excellent, and you can tell it was made with love.
