    Spaghetti Bolognese, Beer Battered Artichokes & Vampire Slayer + Chicken
    Rachelle P.

    My toddler and I stopped in to celebrate my mom's birthday since it's close to us and she requested it! We ordered the Spaghetti Bolognese, Beer Battered Artichokes and Vampire Slayer with Chicken. The pasta was peppery, but I watered it down and my toddler ended up loving it! I've loved their addicting fried artichokes since they used to have their food truck and my mom enjoyed their pizza squares! For dessert we ordered the Nana's Ice Cream Balls in flavors Mud Pie, Caramel Apple Pie and Original(not pictured since to-go.) Their ice cream balls have a really nice crunchy topping, flavor and the ice cream is nice and creamy!! We enjoy them! This small, family owned brewery kitchen, is cool spot to visit! The previous food truck now sits inside the restaurant and they have a fun little game area for family night! If you sit outside, they have a nice intimate setting with heat lamps, a relaxing vintage beer tap water fountain with beautiful koi fish and giant Connect 4! Staff are helpful and restrooms are clean! SYOY!

    Dear lord. The one guy who works here, tall, white-- his vibe kills the whole experience. If he's not a people person (which he clearly is not because we've been here many times and he's been the same every time) he should not be dealing with the people. Tonight was so bad, I'm not sure we'll be back.

    Veggie and pet friendly place! What a great little spot to grab a drink, vegan eats and bring your pet to hang outside. The vegan pesto pasta was delicious! A great meetup spot for a group who loves hanging outside with their friends and pets!

    We absolutely love Mode. It is close by and delicious! It is such a cute friendly location. There's a nice outdoor area with two giant beautiful trees that provide great shade. The service is quick and the food is generally good. My recommendation for food are the chips and onion dip and the Blue bird pizza. My goodness YUM. The pizza is like a chicken cordon blue style with the most amazing flavors- you don't even need a sauce to dip it in, and I'm a sauce girl. Very impressive! I also highly recommend the chips and onion dip. Wow it is GOOD! They have lots of other options for food too. Sometimes we get the fried artichoke, but it's been a little thick with the breading lately. If you can ask for lightly battered, I would do that. Also, bring back the fried asparagus! Yum! My two favorite beers are the blueberry and bushwhacker. They do serve wine and a few ciders and have sodas and water. Yum yum yum. Come here for good food, delicious beer and a relaxing atmosphere.

    I went for the first time and it was a pretty nice place! Very nice customer service and clean place! They can make a vegan option of almost everything on the menu. Look for items with the They also have gluten free if you require that! I tried the Fettuccine Alfredo and they have some Polenta Fries that I really liked! There is an outside area in the back that is quite spacious and has a nice vibe. One of the most interesting things was there was some type of flash bingo game going on which involved playing samples of popular one hit wonders, which I enjoyed guessing. I definitely plan to go back!

    Mode Brewing is a total vibe! This family owned business gives true meaning about the family that cooks together... You want to try Mode. You need to try Mode. This has become my fun hangout spot with friends, family, and it's a fun date night spot. What was a food truck, it's now all grown up into a cool restaurant. The interior has the cool side of the food truck as part of the interior. On one side, the brother (Jeff) is brewing up some tasty craft beer ! He knows his brew! The sister and BIL, (Randy & Tracy) along with "mom", are cooking up some delicious food. You'll want to order it all. Just do it! Everything is seriously tasty! Short rib ragu. This is a sin that it tastes so good. Pasta. Short ribs. Sauce. Mix that all together, and you won't want to leave. The Italian stallion. It tastes as good as it sounds. It's meaty. It's cheesy. It is perfection. Because dessert is a must... you will want Nana's balls. Mom knows dessert, and these fried ice cream balls will make you wonder why your mom didn't create these. Order 4. One isn't enough. Even if you're full. Craft beer. Good good. Good desserts. This is the place to try!

    I love delicious beer and vegan food, so put those two things together under the same roof and this is definitely a brewery I can get behind. As someone who doesn't worship at the altar of the IPA, it was so refreshing to see a variety of beers that included maltier styles as well. Of the dozen taps available when I visited, I tried the Globetrotter (Oktoberfest) and Pioneer (American brown ale) and enjoyed them both. The food at Mode is casual American-Italian. Small personal pizzas, paninis, and pasta dishes. I first learned of Mode during last year's Sacramento Vegan Chef Challenge, so was happy to see that they still had many vegan options on the menu. The vegan polenta fries were perfectly crispy, well-seasoned, and came with ample dipping sauces - I would definitely get those again to share. The vegan Great White pizzetta was fantastic! I'm picky about a sourdough crust and this one was spot on, as were the toppings. I highly recommend trying it. You might drive right past this spot and miss it, but don't be fooled by the little parking lot out front (there's a huge area behind the building). Inside is small, but the dog-friendly patio out back is where it's at. Several shaded tables make this an ideal spot for groups too. There's even a water feature - a large koi pond with water flowing through repurposed keg taps. Clever. I also liked how you could run a tab that was connected to both ordering food from the kitchen and ordering beer from the brewery, which are on opposite sides of the building. It's a smart set up and keeps the wait time to a minimum. I'll definitely be back for more of their beer (hellooooo Pumpkin Ale) and vegan food options. Check them out!

    I was glad to see that they had other styles represented besides IPA: amber, brown ale, Oktoberfest. I enjoyed the latter two! The food was pretty decent! They had a number of tasty selections on the menu. Things are made fresh to order and are served up piping hot. The Vampire Slayer (garlicked) cheese pizza, in particular, is novelty cut in tiny squares so sharing around as appetizer bites is easy. The front of the brew pub is small, but once inside, you can see the spacious patio area out back. There are several/many wood picnic tables spaced apart with a nice water fountain feature central to the space. It's a good place for groups to meet up. This was my first visit, but definitely not my last. The combination of good beers AND good eats make returning here a no-brainer. Note: they close at 7pm on Sundays.

    The food was really tasty. They have a great gluten free menu and nice selection of beers and ciders on tap. The guy was super cool. The outside area was a great place to enjoy a meal and you can bring your pup!

I'm not sure if he was upset with his team or is but he took it on our 9 year old niece. He was in mood before we ordered. Was impatient and short.

Being…read morethat it was Friday night we decided to make our way towards Chili's where we found this Pizza & Pasta Restaurant called Skipolinis. To me it sounded Italian and being Half-Italian myself, I have to try this place. Like I always do since I'm fond of my Italian heritage. We parked and with plenty of parking we got out of the car and walked up to the front door. As we walked in we were greeted with a friendly young man who had asked if there was just the 2 of us. As we sat down we were then greeted by our Waiter who had asked what would we like to drink. As we were reviewing the menu trying to find something good, I noticed that they had Spaghetti with Marinara and so being that you could also add Meatballs, Chicken or Italian sausage I chose the Meatballs. The waiter advised that the Meatballs were made with Ground Beef & Pork and to my statement "Thats great, I'll take 3 please" It was no more than 5 - 10 minutes that our food arrived. I took a bite of my Meatballs and let me tell you that took me back to my Childhood when my Nonna used to make homemade Meatballs. I chose Penne noodles because I didnt really want regular Spaghetti. My wife chose the Eggplant Parmesan and when she bit into the Eggplant, (The cooking of an Eggplant should be tender) hers was crunchy as if you were biting into an Apple that was almost tender. My wife enjoyed her Spaghetti and Alfredo sauce but she also took a bite of my bread as well. She wasn't really to happy with the Eggplant so the waiter graciously said that he would bring us some Meatballs in replace of the Eggplant since it was crunchy. He returned with 5 Meatballs and just like the ones that I was eating they too were Hot & also delicious as well. Our Waiter Brandon was very friendly, accomodating, Professional and did what he could to make our first time experience at Skipolinis a great experience. The next time we come we are probably gonna try the Calzones and I was very disappointed to know that while they are on the Menu, they didnt have any Cannolis. That's okay, the food was good enough that we will be back. Thanks Skipolinis for some great food and great experience. We will be back.
