    Vanilla shake
    Daisy I.

    The shake was tasty and had a nice vanilla flavor that was enjoyable. Medium size cup ! There were a couple of areas where the shake could have been improved. Firstly, the temperature could have been colder. I prefer my shakes to be icy cold, but this one was just slightly above room temperature, which was a bit disappointing. Additionally, the texture of the shake could have been smoother. Despite these drawbacks, I must say that considering it was made at school, it was still a good effort by the student staff . The flavor was on point, and it was evident that the ingredients used were of decent quality, you can see them making it from the ice cream . The sweetness level was just right, not too overpowering like most places loaded with sugar . Overall it's a 7/10 :)

    In loving memory of Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, & Carl's Jr.-- oh, and that one random refrigerated aisle I used to get questionable salads from-- you're all sorely missed. In efforts to promote healthy eating, Davis booted the classic college-kid-cheapo-eats in favor of creating their own, bicycle-themed burger joint. Spokes is a good, solid attempt at fast food for students (compared to other UCD spots), but doesn't hold a candle to its predecessors' popularity. I've been here a 2-3 times when stuck at the Silo and reluctant to pay food truck prices. Service has always been average, the servers are pretty friendly if a little forgetful at times. I've ordered the Free Wheeler (yay veggie option!!) when scurrying between classes and usually they'll assemble it within 5 mins, even with the lunch rush. FREE WHEELER: Quality consistency varies a lot. The burger I had today was odd-- cold buns that probably came straight out of the sleeve, really dry portobello mushroom and veggies, ambiguously tangy sauce. Sometimes the mushroom-sauce-vegetable ratio works, today, not so much. The single slice of American cheese is just another odd, salty-sticky addition to the mess. It's probably not fair to compare campus eateries to "real" ones LOL-- Maybe their meat burgers taste better, who knows. I don't really recommend this spot unless you absolutely have to LOL. I like that it's affordable and bike-themed (#justDavisthings), but that's about it. Save your $5 for something else.

    Shakes are good but the dry chicken is not. The wait can be a long time too. Only reason they have business is because it's in the silo

    I love the Burgers here, I go here often. The food is SO good, but it is a bit expensive but it's…read moreworth it to me. I've tried a lot of different things on the menu but my go-to order is the Bleu Cheese Burger with Curly Fries and ranch. Every time I have someone visiting I take them here to get a burger and a beer and it never disappoints! They can get pretty busy but they have great service and they have a nice patio with heaters. It's also nice because it's in a good location across from the park and you can get frozen yogurt afterwards next door.

    Everything so delicious love all the outside seating. I'm not sure if it's like this every day but…read moreI went on a weekday and you order up at the counter they give you a number and you sit down. They have menus easily accessible right outside for you to look through. They have tons of choices, I just got the classic cheeseburger with pepper jack. He had the avocado burger. We ordered medium well since we don't like the pink in it when it comes to burgers anyway. The service was good and friendly. The prices were pretty normal. I like that you get a choice between french fries or salad. Of course we both chose french fries though lol. Each table already has ketchup, salt, and pepper. I like that there was just water that you can refill up yourself so you didn't have to be left waiting and can drink as much water as you want. They had a good selection of beers and it was a nice casual atmosphere. Wasn't too crowded, but I'm sure that might be because I went during a weekday afternoon. It was hot, but they had sprayers and fans going, which is nice. And although wasn't complete full sit down service, the workers still checked on us which I felt that means that they genuinely care about their customers. Now, the food! The burger was cooked perfectly with the right amount of char on the outside and still moist and juicy on the inside. The pepper jack cheese was melted, and the burger was seasoned well. All the vegetables were fresh, crispy clean lettuce. I felt like the pickle they either made it themselves or they get it from somebody handmade. And the buns also tasted homemade. We were both impressed with our burgers, however, the avocado burger, which he got had a lot of mayonnaise on it. So just a heads up they do put pretty much all the condiments on the burger so just make sure to specify what you want or don't want condiment wise when ordering. As far as parking, it's downtown so it's a lot easier to walk or bike to this location. However, there is some parking around the block and by the park - you just need to be aware of signs. I really feel like this place can host multiple different kinds of going out. We went out for a casual afternoon date, but of course there's families there, friends getting together, small groups of two or maybe even just one person and of course, larger groups were there too. I can see it being a kind of a cool date spot for more casual kind of date and of course I can see this being used as like family gatherings so I like that it's very versatile . We will definitely be back! I especially need to try more of their brews
