We came here for lunch/brunch. Our first time here we didn't know there was even a second room. The…read morefront entrance room was full except some booths were open. It took a couple minutes for someone to even greet us, but they were busy. Someone sat us in the room behind the counter. We ordered the crab lobster Benedict with house potatoes and a side of biscuits and gravy and scrambled eggs with sausage/bacon and side of fruit. The bacon was really good. Everything was great. 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.

Came back with the whole family this time. We sat in the table side of the restaurant. Note, if you…read morelove music, you can't hear it on this side of the restaurant very well. 1. 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).

One of my favorite places for brunch. This place is usually busy since it's so popular and located…read moreacross from the capitol. They have a decent menu and I love how many dishes they have for brunch. Service has always been great, I've never had a bad experience. There's a huge outdoor seating and it's great for big groups. Good usually comes out promptly so I've never had to wait too long even when it's busy. Pros: the portions are huge, I can easily share with another person and still have leftovers. I love their pancakes and French toast. Their lunch and dinner options are great too. Cons: parking can be hard to find (street parking). There's also parking garages near by.

We came for brunch to celebrate a birthday, and I was trying to decide between the spinach omelette…read moreor the chicken fried steak. The server said the chicken fried steak was really good, so that was my choice. I thought that I would also enjoy the pork sausage gravy served on top of it since I love biscuit and gravy. I was quite disappointed in my choice because the steak as very tough, and dry, like it was not made in-house but probably frozen, and deep fried in house. The generous serving of gravy on top was lacking any flavor and was on the pasty side, so it didn't help the steak in any way. My toast was cold, which was not too much an issue, but the hardness of the toast was like day old left over toast. I told the server the steak was pretty tough but he chose to ignore my comment twice. I did like the potatoes, which were nice and crispy, but if anything, would've like a fresher piece of toast. One of our guest gave me her butter and that did not spread well on the hard toast. I took the steak home, and heated it a little because I was still hungry, but after one bite, I just tossed it. Just wasn't good. The guest next to me did order the omelette, and her omelette did look very good. I was just unhappy with my meal, for the price, which would've been worth it, if it were good.

Really fun little restaurant that really captures that homey Southern charm…read more We were seated right away, and the host was really nice and fun, offering his recommendations without us even having to ask. Our waitress came over shortly after. I see a lot of mixed reviews about the service, and I think some staff members are friendlier and more outgoing than others, but even the less friendly servers were still attentive, helpful, and quick. I think it just depends on who you get and whether you value a really friendly interaction or care more about the food and basic service. We tried a cappuccino since the host said they make all their coffee in-house, and it was pretty good, especially coming from someone who doesn't drink coffee. We chose the fried green tomatoes as our starter, and they were delicious. I'd never had them before but had always heard how iconic of a Southern dish they are. They were really well balanced with the aioli and feta, and the tomatoes themselves were juicy and fresh. I had to go with the shrimp po' boy, which was also really good. The shrimp were pretty big and tasted fresh, complemented well by the really light, airy, buttery bread and fresh vegetables inside. The fries were also a plus! I enjoyed everything I ordered and would definitely come back to try some other things. I will say it was a bit pricey for brunch for two people, with the bill coming out to around $80 with tip. I guess that's just the day and age we live in now, though. I thought the portions were decently sized. Not as huge as your typical diner portions, but still large enough that you could probably expect some leftovers.

Our first time at The Porch, and we had heard so many great things about it. The brunch was…read moredelicious, and the portions were generous. The beignets reminded us of Cafe Du Monde in New Orleans. Our table staff was also excellent, attentive, and friendly. Unfortunately, our experience got off to a disappointing start. While we were standing closest to the greeter's desk, the gentleman seating guests seemed to overlook us and asked another couple if they were next in line. Whether intentional or not, it left us feeling overlooked and uncomfortable. It was an unfortunate moment that took away from an otherwise enjoyable brunch. Sadly, this first impression may make us think twice about returning.

I went to Old Soul Co. in Sacramento and tried the matcha with oat milk, naturally sweetened with…read morehoney. It was a solid 9.5/10 for me. Smooth, not too sweet, and definitely something I'd order again. They also have dairy free options, which I appreciated, and a vegetarian breakfast burrito that was actually really good. I'm always happy when a place has more than one vegetarian option instead of making me survive off vibes and a pastry The staff was honestly a whole vibe too. They were patient, went over all the matcha options with me, and we ended up laughing because the cashier wasn't sure which dairy-free milk would be best. His coworker came over like, "Of course oat milk," and I was like, bet, let's do it Staff gets a 10/10 from me. One thing to know...if you enter through the parking lot, the shop is toward the back and can be a little hidden, so keep going. Overall, really good experience. I'd definitely be back.

Local favorite dive bar and hole-in-the-wall spot in Midtown!…read more Ambience: Casual, local dive bar with a fun, laid-back atmosphere. Parking: Challenging paid street parking. I recommend trying O Street or P Street, about 2 blocks away. Price: Very cheap and reasonable for the Midtown area. They're open daily from 6am to 2am, which is pretty amazing. You can even get a full breakfast and morning Jell-O shots while watching games and socializing. Recommended FOODS: * Chicken Fried Steak & Eggs: A crowd favorite for breakfast, served with lots of gravy. * Night Tacos: Super popular and cheap ground beef or chicken tacos. * Hot Wings: Done just right and extra crispy. Recommended DRINKS: * Bloody Mary * Morning Jell-O Shots * Mimosas * Craft beers on tap: 19 selections A fun spot if you're looking for a casual local dive bar, especially for an early breakfast or late-night food and drinks.

Well, the meat was cold and it seemed like all that was done was fry the tortilla. We explained the food was cold and instead of ensuring the meat was warm, Mike stuck the food in the microwave - with the lettuce, tomato, and cheese! Now the server, Shana, gets 5 stars. She was understanding and apologized when we said the meat was cold AND after it was put into the microwave. I feel like Shana knows customer service.

Pretty low end breakfast. I am of a mind that any cook who…read morehears "over easy" and delivers BURNT! Should be fired for gross incompetence! The cook here is what we call a burner. Meaning he overcooks everything! The eggs were burnt and so were the potatoes. There was no seasoning on the potatoes, but they were edible. The eggs were not so I sent them back. They offered to remake them, but I won't give an incompetent cook a second chance to screw it up. The other big offense in a kitchen is improperly seasoning the food. They have deviled eggs with bacon crumbles on top, but they whipped something really offensive into the egg yolk filling. It was gross. I'll try lunch or supper here, but with breakfast so horribly screwed up, it doesn't look promising. Service was excellent in spite of the revolting food.

They made what would be just basic fruit and eggs taste glorious. We had a few nice conversations with Holly, who had owned the B&B for about 3 years at the time. She told us a little bit about the history of the block and the B&B itself. It's a nice touch to have coffee delivered to the room each morning. Our room, the Dickenson, was a bit dusty when we first arrived. When we complained, it was quickly and mostly remedied. The weirdest part of the room, though, was that the bathroom had no real door - just a curtain. I just don't see why the door was excluded. That being said, the bathroom had a large jacuzzi, which I wish I had used more. It was a treat!

I ended up going with their breakfast burrito, which included chorizo, cheesy scrambled eggs, and potato in a flour tortilla with a cheese skirt. This dish came with a side of pasilla pepper cream and some hot sauce. I also got a side of potato's with their aioli sauce, which was very filling. All portions were very generous and well-worth the price. Although this restaurant gets busy, they have an effective system to ensure timely service to all their guests. All staff members were friendly and patient with our party. Regarding the seating, they do have options to sit outside in a patio area with umbrellas. There is also the option to dine inside the establishment. I would add this place as a staple for people to try when visiting Sacramento.
