    Nutburger
    Mia B.

    Such a cute find!! Tucked away in an adorable neighborhood, this veggie spot exceeded my expectations. The nutburger was full of flavor and was the perfect texture, definitely a step up from a lot of veggie patties I've tried. There was a pretty sizable area to enjoy your food outside, which is great for warm weather!

    Get there early! As soon as we ordered a line started right behind us as soon as they opened! The service was quick and the Nutburger tastes just as good as I remembered it to be! This is a great lunch spot for healthy, good-quality lunch options!

    I hadn't been in a long time and it's still just as good as I remember and it's a must try for the vegetarians and vegans in the greater Sacramento area for that Nutburger. It's vegetarian but they can make it vegan if you ask.

    We were around the area and felt like being vegetarian for the day haha. The place is located in the corner, the parking lot did not have that many spots, so be aware. However, there is parking on the street. You order from the outside, so I'm glad it wasn't sunny or too hot. The person taking the order was very patient and nice. I could only imagine answering all these questions from curious customers haha. There are a few tables inside, but it's mostly outdoor seating. I remember coming to this place a while back and it being good. Well, today was no different. Everything we got was excellent. This place is located on a corner, so be aware that parking spots We ordered 2 Nutburgers, a Super Nutburger and a Patty Melt. Nutburger: The nut burger was very flavorful. It was not dry, and you can taste all the healthiness in there haha. The sauce was a nice addition and made everything come together. Super Nutburger: It is a bigger patty, BUT it's not in a bun this time. It's in a pocket bread. Refer to my pictures. My son got it and gobbled it all down, so I can only assume it was good. Haha Patty Melt: I believe it's the same nut burger patty, just prepared differently. The bread is toasted with butter, has cheese and grilled onion, just like a common patty melt. My daughter ordered this and left no crumbs behind haha. So also good. When you're getting tired of Beef Burgers, stop by Sunflower Drive In and get yourself a NutBurger!

    Still going to wait a hot minute for food but that doesn't deter me! The chikin' sandwich hits the spot every time. Consistently flavorful, warm by the time I get home, and a good bite to it.

    I hope they have this type of food in heaven!! This place always wows me. 10 stars for service, taste and quality. That's it you must go here to experience this heavenly food. Healthy, clean tasting and delicious, exceptionally delicious. Go here tomorrow.

    Finally got a chance to check out the infamous Sunflower Drive-in and sure did not disappoint ! It was nice weather out today but we opted to get our food to go since the weather was also chilly today. There is outdoor seating available and plenty of parking in front. Ambiance is super chill and casual. Staff were friendly and helpful. You just order (much like a taco stand) and pick up at the next window. The wait was short and we were on our way. I ordered their nachos and hubby and his dad got the regular burrito , one with black beans and one with refried beans . I devoured my light and fresh tasting nachos. Hubby and father-in-law enjoyed their burritos as well.

    This is an excellent find in Fair Oaks! Order at the window and sit outside, like the good ol' days. The nut burgers are #1 on the menu for a reason. Huge, flavorful, and healthy to boot. Add pepperjack cheese for some extra oomph. Kids smoothie is a great option if you don't want to commit to a full size.

    Vegan nutburger, delicious! (instagram: jax.vegan.eats)

    While in the area visiting a lifelong friend (since 4th grade) on a Friday afternoon, we decided to…read moregrab some lunch while catching up. I mentioned Fair Oaks Brew Pub as an option I found on Yelp &, as a local, he said it was a great choice. We almost immediately scored street parking only a few doors down. I'd never been to Old Fair Oaks Village before. Looking around, the little town center was more reminiscent of a historic gold country town up in the foothills than Sacramento suburban sprawl. The cutesy charm of the surroundings extended to Fair Oaks Brew Pub itself. Greeted as soon as we walked up, we chose to sit out in their inviting patio area on a perfect Spring day. Our server was along shortly. She was friendly, helpful, & the right amount of attentive. For brew pub fare, we both chose the Risky Burger. Essentially a Western bacon BBQ variation of their regular cheeseburger. Sides were upgraded to onion rings. For the brew, I got their Chicken Foot Pale Ale. Everything was up before long. The Risky Burger was outstanding. Crispy bacon, tasty onion rings (in the burger, as well as on the side), gooey melted cheese, & a perfectly cooked patty just juicy enough to turn the last bite or 2 of the whole burger into a bit of a mess. The Chicken Foot Pale Ale was decent for style, though a little old school in terms of recipe/ malts/ hops. Still, a refreshing pairing for the Risky Burger. All in all, Fair Oaks Brew Pub was a great spot to grab a bite & a beer in an unexpectedly scenic pocket of suburbia.

    Unfortunately, the service really missed the mark. Our server came to the table once to take our…read moreorder and then never returned to check on us. We weren't asked if we needed refills, how our food was, or if everything came out correctly. At one point, I had to get up and go to the bar myself just to order another drink, which definitely took away from the overall experience. It felt like we were completely forgotten. The atmosphere and food may have potential, but the lack of attentive service made it hard to fully enjoy our visit. Hoping this was just an off night, but it wasn't a great experience.

They have kiosks to order the food. Plenty of seating in the food Court as well as bathrooms. Everything looks new and clean. Comfortable environment. We ordered two breakfast sandwiches.

But there's so many flavors happening. You could just order it without any meat and it would still be delicious. The Korean egg drop sandwich was mouthwatering as well. Totally different from the Seoul sandwich. We got it with sausage. Scrumptious. The eggs were fluffy and the sandwich was made to perfection. To be honest. I think these could be some of the best breakfast sandwiches in the city. Just incredible. The service was good. They were very busy other orders. Staff is extremely friendly and gave me a tip for a burger I should try next time. If the burgers taste as good as the breakfast then I'm in for a treat. They also have wings and tenders. This is a must try spot.
