Great burger/sandwich joint with delicious food, a nice patio area, friendly service, and a chance (however small) to get your meal for free! I had the mushroom swiss burger and my girlfriend got the sliders, both were great. They have a few beers on tap,...Read More

As a burger lover, really enjoyed the Western Burger. Family with me enjoyed theirs as well. The BOM sliders that wife had were amazing. The Snicker doodle ice cream sandwich was great on a hot day. Service was very attentive and friendly.

My wife said this is the best burger she’s had in her life. I second that. Best burger in the Sac town, way more delicious than In-and-Out. Highly recommended!

This is our favorite place to go out to eat. Everything on the menu is good, but order a burger, those are magnificent. The entire staff is attentive, friendly and kind. And Skip works there regularly, and sets the standard in the most positive way.
