I am a sucker for Halal/Mediterranean food; and when I found out about all these amazing flavors…read morecoming from a mobile food truck, I had to see and taste what all the fuss was about. This takes me to "812 Grill" which has slowly gained a small cult following through social media since opening back in mid-2024. Located in a large outdoor strip mall on busy Watt Ave in North Highlands, 812 Grill is tucked smack dab in between Freedom Park Dr and Karl Dr. Parking was easy to find as there aren't a whole lot of businesses close to where they are located. I came here during the afternoon on Sunday 1/18/2026 at around 4:30pm. For those wondering, they are open for business Tuesday through Sunday from 11am-9pm and closed on Monday. You also have the option of placing your order online for pickup or delivery (DoorDash, Uber Eats, & Postmates). Since I did neither, I ordered my food the old fashioned way and that was at the ordering station area of the truck. I went with what was arguably their most popular item, the "Chicken Shawarma". They carry these in chicken as well as beef while you can also opt fora complete meal with fries. In addition to the Shawarma, they also specialize in a Halal-style cheeseburger as well as raptor fries (available in chicken or beef), wings, chopped cheese, and several lemonade flavors. And when my shawarma was ready, the pager they provide you sets off a chirping beep. Total time it took from when I ordered to when I got my food was about 10 minutes. After making the 15-minute drive back home, I unwrapped this thing and was ready to judge how good this was. As you can see from the photo, the size of this thing is massive as it is roughly about a foot long. And after the first bite, I enjoyed the seasoned and tender pieces of grilled chicken as they definitely did not disappoint. This wrap also included lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and the signature sauce. The only reason for a deduction in the rating is that it was a little soggy which probably tastes a LOT better as soon as it is handed to you but nonetheless, it was above average. All in all, "812 Grill" was well worth the price and at $11.99 for a ton of food, you can't go wrong. The young man that took my order was polite while the truck was easy to identify, even from busy Watt Ave. With excellent tasting food, reasonable prices, above average service, and generous hours of operation, I am giving 812 Grill a respectable four star rating.

I get the hype…read more Customer service is at its peak here. Shout out to the guy working the register who is charismatic, funny, patient, and just a cool dude. We came in for the first time and were greeted with a smile. We asked what the popular burgers were and he easily listed them off. I opted for the burger with the barbecue sauce and fried onion and my coworker opted for the regular cheeseburger. What came next put a big fat smile on my face. They don't give you traditional order numbers. You choose from a deck of cards and if you get the Joker, your meal is free. What ever number you draw is the number of your order. I could not stop laughing. I've never seen that and I thought it was the most creative thing ever. The burger is humongous! Like, I cannot fit my entire mouth around it, even if I squished it down. Despite the size, it was well charred, and juicy in the middle. Ingredients were fresh and the brioche bun was soft and fluffy. They have two TVs, which played sports highlights and at one point the baseball playoffs. Inside is very clean and there was another worker who came around and bussed tables and wiped everything down almost immediately after a party left. I really appreciated her work ethic. They have booths that run parallel to the main street and the rest are four tops and two tops. Will absolutely be back again! Oh, the Criscut fries are delicious!

They usually…read morehave online orders but we were able to place our order at their window next to the drive thru line. The gentleman working there was SO NICE, and it looked like he was the only one that cooked all the food we ordered in 15 min! Which was: Umai corndog (Korean style) 10/10 this was SO crunchy and addicting. I will forever crave these Toyo dog (hot link) 10/10 perfect spice and balance of flavors and I don't even like hot links! Nashy chicken sandwich (with everything) 10/10 (eat it fast because it gets soggy but the chicken is super crispy, the coleslaw and pickles make it) Chili cheese fries 9/10 crispy fries and they don't skimp! Brisket sliders 9/10 almost taste like French onion soup the way they sauté the onions. Bbq sauce was fire on there. Overall, this place is going to be in our rotation of spots nearby, also their prices were super reasonable! We got all that for $40 and the portions were big!

It is open seating...so just choose a table and sit...the wait staff will be there soon. We started with water and ordered the mini duck tacos which were 20.00. They are very tiny. Maybe 1 or 2 bites. The duck is crispy...the shell crispy...the crema was delicious. We also ordered the sweet chili wings..ALL I CAN SAY IS OH MY GOSH...THESE WERE ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS . the order comes with five wings for $18.75. These wings are crispy with a sweet chili glaze , which is wonderful. The flavor though...they are a must try. We also ordered the Goat cheese wood fire pizza. It was 21.00 It comes with shiitake mushrooms...garlic...spinach...red onion and we added pepperoni. This pizza was incredible. The flavor was so so good. The crust was soft and perfect. If you are looking gor a great meal..try Sammy's. I already plan on going back.

The waitress went over the many different options for meats including many exotics what they consider like elk, boar, venison wagyu and a few other's i don't remember. My husband went for the Carnitas burger and kept it the way it was listed on the menu. Let me tell you messy but delicious was the verdict. Once you pick it up you can't put it down otherwise it falls apart!! I had the exotic burger but no i didn't have an exotic meat. It was a hamburger patty with mushrooms, onions and Swiss cheese on grilled sourdough. The sourdough was grilled crunchy and buttery and thr burger had great flavor. We also got cheese garlic fries. Those were okay but nothing compared to the burgers. Theyre definitely the stars of the show!!

Best breakfast around!!!!…read more We are such regulars at this place, it feels like walking into grandmas house now. We eat here Atleast twice a month usually on a Sunday morning. There is hardly ever a wait, which is so nice when you're hungry and ready to sit down. They make all their own pastries and baked goods! If you order a meal that comes with it make sure to try a scone! They are delightfully light and fluffy, just heavenly honestly! They squeeze fresh orange juice! Some top breakfast choices are the Chicken fried steak, eggs Benedict, pancakes, Belgian waffle and omelettes! Their potatoes are homemade style and everything tastes fresh and homemade! Nothing from a mix or a package here. I had my cousins in from the bay and i took them here and their minds were blown. They could not stop saying this was the best breakfast they had in a loooong time. After moving here from San Diego Where any good breakfast spot had an hour wait, I feel lucky to have this gem available to us. The place is decorated like home, with comfortable tables and booths. We have also been for dinner a few times and always leave full and happy. They also have mimosas and beer and wine. I recommend the mango mimosa, it has cut up mango and is super yummy!

Chicken Fried Steak - a legitimate chicken fried steak, and a thick steak with crispy thick breading. Comes with two eggs, chunky and roasted potatoes, and biscuit or toast. Got my potatoes done extra crispy. This was soo good and I was really happy that it was a real steak and not some meat patty. Gravy was also delicious. Their menu alludes to a lot of secret recipes which is kind of fun. On the table is their proprietary seasoning salt, which definitely tastes good and enhanced the flavor of my eggs. I would definitely come back here. Very family friendly and clean. There was zero wait and plenty of parking.

Well now that my regular spot closed, I was in need of a new place for cheesesteaks. I ended up…read moregoing with Granite because of the rating and it was a good choice. Give their Italian CS a try, it's got the works. The garlic on it isn't very strong, so could use a little more. The "Famous NY sauce" I didn't know what it was and so asked for it on the side the first time I went. Turned out it was coney meat sauce, like you'd get on chili dogs out there. It's kinda weird to have it on a cheesesteak, I'm not sure how I feel about it. You may want to try it on the side and have half plain and half with to see if you have a preference. I think it just kinda adds moisture due to the oiliness. I wanna try their nacho cheese CS next time, looks extra cheesy. Price is a lil high it seems, but I guess relative to what footlong Subway or local deli shop prices are, not crazy. And I'd say they give you plenty of meat, a footlong will stuff ya. Krinkle fries were fine, I got a good amount for takeout. And at least they have "normal" hours, so I can get dinner there at a normal hour, unlike my old spot. Closed Mondays.

As soon as I heard of this restaurant, I contacted my Trinidadian friend and set up a lunch for us…read moreto check it out. Truth be told, she was so excited to hear about an authentic Trinidadian restaurant in Sacramento that she went the same day to try it out. It got her seal of approval, so we stuck with our plans. The restaurant is in a small strip mall near a really fantastic comic book store (with two sweet pugs running the place). They share a kitchen space with a Jamaican restaurant, but don't have much signage outside, so I was a bit worried they weren't open. Thankfully, that was not the case. The restaurant is not very big, with a few tables accommodating groups of 4. Trini Table is a two woman operation, so please be patient if both owners are preparing food in the back. We ordered almost everything on the menu just to try as it was my first time eating Trinidadian. They had options for vegetarians, including their stand-out doubles. On the barbecue chicken plate, my absolute favorite was the macaroni pie. Honestly, everything was delicious. The staff were also so sweet. I cannot wait to go back!
