Probably some of the best hash browns I've ever had. I ordered the steak and eggs, and even for your average American breakfast steak, this thing was DELICIOUS. It didn't taste frozen or cheap it tasted fresh, was cooked perfectly, and was just pure deliciousness. Raul was our server and was awesome. Super attentive, friendly, and made sure we were taken care of the entire time. Somebody needs to give Raul a raise and while you're at it, give the chef one too because whoever is back there cooking clearly knows what the hell they're doing. Excuse the picture I got way too excited and started destroying the food before I remembered I wanted to leave a review. Halfway through breakfast I thought, "Damn, I should probably take a picture of this." I'll do better next time, because there WILL definitely be a next time. Highly recommend ROC & SOL Diner. Phenomenal food, great service, and absolutely worth the stop.

The menu looked pretty interesting so what the heck. It's located right in the middle of downtown, or what I'd consider downtown at the intersection of 10th and "S" streets. I thought there might be a parking problem, but they have a small lot to park in. The building is painted all kinda new age like. On the menu I saw the chicken fried steak. One of my crew got the fish and chips since it was sort of lunch time. The other crew member got an omelet kinda thing served with hashbrowns. Inside the dining area, it looked nicely decorated and clean. The service was friendly and efficient. Our food arrives and it all lookes tasty. My chicken fried steak was smothered in gravy. The gravy was thick, but not too thick. Those fish and chips looked good. All the crew liked the food here. It's not the cheapest food around, but this isn't a discount chain like Applebee's or something.

We stopped here on our way from Yuba River. It was time for a quick lunch and we had skipped breakfast. The area is nothing to write home about.

Enormous portions, very good quality and made with love!

The outside is a little old and the restaurant is a bit hidden away in the back, but the inside has been kept relatively clean. I also found the servers to be extremely friendly and welcoming. This is a diner in all the traditional senses. I came here for a good 'ol fashioned bacon, sausage, and egg breakfast and that's what I got. I got a great deal on it as I came before 10am and they had a special. Even with the deal, I found the menu prices to be very reasonable. The food is exactly what you would expect from a diner such as this. But what was a little surprising was that it wasn't super greasy. The bacon and sausage were well cooked and my over-medium eggs were just right. The flavors weren't upscale in any sense, but they do the job for what it is. If you're looking for a very traditional American diner experience that doesn't break the bank, you can't do much better than Eppies.

We got there and were seated immediately but it took a really long time after ordering to receive our food. My relative said their food was cold and that he sent it back for a hot meal. Mine wasn't cold but it was a lot smaller than I expected. I got their whole hog breakfast with sausage, bacon, eggs, potatoes and toast but substituted the toast for blueberry pancakes. The pictures here on Yelp made the pancakes look much bigger compared to the tiny pancakes I got today. Prices are good I'll admit. However, I don't think I'll be in a rush to come back anytime soon since I came from Elk Grove and there are better places that are much closer to me in my opinion. Prices aren't bad

Perhaps I ordered the wrong thing : California Benedict and extra crispy potatoes requested. My plate came out later than everyone else's, which is fine if it is worth the wait. Unfortunately it was not... First thing I noticed... way too much hollandaise that didn't look appetizing. I enjoy hollandaise which is why I ordered the Benedict but this was swimming in so much sauce. After the waitress left I noticed my eggs Benedict did not come with avocado as listed on the specials. The tomato's were still of greenish hue as opposed to ripe and my potatoes were no where near extra crispy. My kids potatoes were more crispy than mine came out. This was a miss for me. I won't be back.

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).

KVIE reported that "Ball's signature dish, brought over from his time in more upscale kitchens, is his hand-cut balsamic chips. Topped with blue cheese crumbles, balsamic gastrique and fresh basil, these thin crisps are easy to share and more befitting a bistro than a bowling alley. California cheesesteaks are the best-selling item, made with shaved rib-eye, pepper jack cheese, peppers, onions and mushrooms on Philadelphia-baked sourdough buns." I'm part of a seasonal bowling league at Capitol Bowl on Mondays, and after reading that article ordered up those balsamic chips! Very fresh. We usually get whole pizzas, chicken tenders, curly fries, loaded chicken nachos, garlic fries, and pitchers of beer or sodas. There are happy hour deals if you get there before 6pm as well.

For decades, Jamie's has existed as both mythical and just shy of famous. The fact that the…read moremajority of Sacramentans are not intimately familiar with this fine establishment despite being on national tv shows furthers the mythical nature around this place. Back in the 00s when Jamie was handing all of the food (rest in power, king) you could find yourself coming in midday for a tipple only to find FREE FOOD at 3pm with only a handful of people enjoying it. And I mean things like: Buffalo Wings, Swedish meatballs, lil smoked sausages.ah, but I wax nostalgic for too long. Here is the reality of Jamie's: almost everything is made from scratch, it's most likely the best pub food served in the tri county area, and has the best specials menu in the land. If you are not ordering from the specials menu only shown by the front door, you aren't doing Jamie's the right way. Their corned beef Reuben is arguably the best in the state. For a taste in nostalgia, their Chinese chicken salad and shrimp (or crab) Louis salad are both amazing when available . Not always available as this is what makes it all special. So many of their specials are worth getting. If your favorite isn't there, they will definitely have something for you. Get yourself a nice Guinness, maybe a smoked ribeye, look at their big ol Buffalo head hanging on the wall in the dining room, and make a night of it.

Is this place a "dive?" A bar with good food? There is definitely a bar to sit at, but also a section for those of us on a lunch break. There were definitely regulars, but a few newcomers such as myself. The menu is small...not necessarily a bad thing. A few sandwiches, appetizers, clam chowder, and a burger. They all sounded good. Then...the board. Rotating daily specials, from fish and chips to braised short ribs. It all sounded delicious. I went with a menu standard...a hot turkey sandwich. The potatoes stayed hot the whole lunch, and on the bread was an ample amount of turkey. I was quite happy with the portion. The actual turkey was not dry and tasted good on its own, but the gravy remained hot and delicious as well. The only cavaet....I hate when restaurants charge $4 for a soda. That being said, based on this quick lunch experience, I would definitely return to now try some of the rotating board specials.

The burgers were soooo good! Cooked perfectly to order and the garlic fries are a must. So perfectly garlicky without any bitterness and delightfully delicious. The fries are perfectly between thin and steak, striking a balance that fits just about any preference.
