Simon's Cafe on 16th downtown. If you happen to be a duck hunter, they are pretty famous for cooking your game Chinese style and serving up a full on dinner! Certainly not a fancy place, but a ton of fun when you bring them your ducks!
My Family loves Hop Sing's in old Folsom. Classic American Chinese food, it's like the place hasn't changed since the 70's. It's tacky cool, great food at reasonable prices.
I like Squeeze Inn for burgers. Freakin' delicious.
Not hot on Hop Sings. They put my family in the back of the restaurant on a busy night and ignored us for well over half an hour. We didnt even get food till a good hour into the trip and it wasnt that good.
Chicago Fire is amazing pizza in a very cool setting. I like it a lot.
Good seafood can be had at Joe's Crab Shack in Old Sac. Very busy though. Definitely make reservations.
i may be slow sometimes but ive just discovered for myself Chipotle. i love this place. the cilantro lime rice especially. there are several throughout the sac area but the one i usually go to with my wife is across from the sunrise mall. some would say its a little pricey for the kind of restaurant it is but i think its quite reasonable for the portions.
My favorite burger place in sac is Burgers and Brew on R and 15th downtown. And another favorite place to eat is Jacks Urban Eats, located downtown, Folsom, natomas and on sunrise.
