“OMG. The band, Sacramento Swing Collective was incredible last night. Wonderful experience. Looking forward to future performances.”
“I'm from Oklahoma and grew up enjoying good BBQ which can be had in that part of the country. But getting really good BBQ in CA is a challenge unless you know about the Hangry Herd where we had lunch today. The ribs were excellent, as good as I've had anywhere and the best I've ever had in CA! The brisket was also tender and very good. So, if you want good food and like BBQ, this is the place to go to.”
“We always enjoy or meal and service at Aiko Sushi. The kids chicken teriyaki meal is a great value for the amount of food you get. Great special menu pricing. Friendly and attentive staff who always remember us every time we come in.”
“We really enjoyed ourselves at Rudy's Hideaway. Food was delicious! We shared an appetizer, fried calamari. For our entrée: *8oz lobster tail, baked potato and green beans *Surf and Turf, which included prime rib, king crab leg, baked potato and green beans. We ended our meal having cheesecake with raspberry sauce and creme brulee. Our sever was attentive and polite. He went above and beyond to make our experience a pleasure. The atmosphere was inviting and relaxing. We will definitely be back...highly recommend!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“i’m normally too lazy to post reviews, but this place absolutely deserves the hype. i’d give it 5 stars for the service alone, but the food was so good on top of it. we got the pan fried mackerel, bulgogi, and tofu dolsut bibimbap. the mackerel was juicy and the bibimbap had the perfect crust at the bottom. great choices of bonchon too!”
“They were really busy with lots of happy people. I wasn't able to get the chicken sandwich that I wanted but they were so sweet about it and even gave me a beer while I wanted all they staff was super sweet and very kind. If I could give 10 stars I would ❤️”

“I cannot express enough how much I adore Falafel Fusion in Rancho Cordova--it's truly the gem of Mediterranean cuisine in the Sacramento area! From the moment you step in, the inviting atmosphere and the friendly staff make you feel right at home. Inayat, the manager, is an absolute star! His passion for delivering an exceptional dining experience shines through, making each visit memorable. Conveniently located next to the I-50 exit with ample parking, Falafel Fusion is easily accessible, adding to its charm. Now, let's talk about the falafel platter--an absolute masterpiece! The combination of pita, falafels, basmati rice, house salad, and that secret house sauce is nothing short of divine. The pita was incredibly soft, the falafels crispy with a delightful cilantro flavor. Each bite was a burst of taste explosions, and the falafels literally melted in my mouth. The spice levels were spot-on, providing a perfect balance of flavors. The hummus, a heavenly side, complemented the falafels and basmati rice flawlessly. Speaking of the rice, it was not just any rice--it was a flavorful journey on its own. The house salad, fresh and vibrant, added a delightful crunch to the meal. Now, let's talk about that secret house sauce--it's an absolute game-changer! I've never tasted anything so good. It elevates the entire dining experience to a whole new level. Kudos to the brilliant minds behind this secret concoction! And the cleanliness! The spotless bathrooms reflect the commitment to maintaining a hygienic environment. Plus, the prices are incredibly reasonable for the quality and quantity of the food you receive. In conclusion, Falafel Fusion is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic and mouthwatering Mediterranean cuisine. Support this amazing local business; you won't be disappointed! Thank you, Falafel Fusion, for consistently delivering an unforgettable dining experience.”
“Great experience at Cosmic Roosters! Dima helped us at the register and was extremely friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Great customer service from the moment we walked in. The food was great and the whole experience was even better because of the service. Definitely recommend checking them out!”
“Ok, I've been going to this spot (ONLY smoke bbq at all I get) since covid and I have NEVER had anything that but the Best bbq, you owners are bar none the Nices people! Now.... I had a piece of pork rib (end piece) that changed pork ribs forever for me. It had the Perfect flavor, texture, and was just MIND BLOWING! I actually have half of it for later! Damn, I am in a Food Coma and Glued to the couch. Seriously do yourself a favor and hit this spot up, I Promise you'll be happy you did!”
“We were looking for a new sushi place nearby and were pleasantly surprised by Sora Sushi. We have only been there for dinner and have enjoyed each meal and starter that we’ve tried. The atmosphere, music, and ESPECIALLY the customer service is second to none. Highly recommend!!”

“The food is definitely fresh and tastes really good.
The owners are very nice, friendly, and helpful, and the place is clean and well kept. Portions are decent as well.
My only point is that the prices feel a little high for this type of food.
Overall, a good local spot with quality food and great service.”
“Had an amazing experience at Fuzion Bistro in Rancho Cordova! The food was absolutely delicious, and a few dishes really stood out. The Fish Tandoori was perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of smoky flavor, tender on the inside with a nice char on the outside. The White Sauce Pizza was rich and creamy without being too heavy—each bite was packed with flavor. And the Baingan Bharta? Easily one of the best I’ve had, with that deep, roasted eggplant flavor coming through beautifully. On top of the great food, the service was friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Definitely a spot worth visiting if you’re in the area. Will be back for sure!”
“Didnt have any soda. But the guy working made a great sandwich and he himself was a vibe. The employee made a 3 star location a 5 star review. Guy said he only works there 2 days a week. He must be doing something awesome the rest of the time. Give the man a raise!!”

“I found Thai Smile Noodle Bar has good reviews online and the menu looks pretty impressive. I decided to try them out. Parking was easy in front of the restaurant. The dining room is very nice. I ordered the boat noodles and red curry, they are pretty good. I had an enjoyable dinner.”
“I've been a couple times and I'm very happy to have found it.
The first time I went, I had a cold and was wearing a mask. It made communication really difficult. They misheard my order and I felt bad but they completely remade the order and were completely kind about it the whole way through. The couple times I've gone back have been much smoother and everyone has been just as kind as before.
None of that really unless the food is good though, and it is! I've had bagel breakfast sandwiches and regular sandwiches. Both were very tasty!”
“Absolutely worth it. I got the large sashimi and spicy garlic edamame and cleaned both dishes spotless!
The staff were attentive and kind and the dining area was clean and open.
Was charging my car across the street while having dinner. It was the perfect spot to wind down and relax after a long day of driving and work.
Will definitely go back!”
“The Sandwich Spot never misses.
The staff is always welcoming and quick with a smile, and you can feel they actually enjoy taking care of people.
The place is spotless every time I walk in, which says a lot about how they run things. Fresh ingredients, big portions, good vibes — exactly what you want when you’re grabbing a sandwich. Easy five stars from me.”
“I don't understand anyone saying the food is bland. I've been going here for approximately 25 years and it's amazing how consistent the food has been over that long period of time. Everything I've tried has been very flavorful and delicious and well-seasoned, and again, CONSISTENT.
There's only so much you can do with Spanish rice and refried beans, so those are never going to wow anyone, but they have as much flavor as you can expect without totally changing them. Their salsa is delicious and consistent and well-seasoned. I like that it is blended well and not super chunky.
They do not have, nor ever had hard liquor, so the margaritas are wine margaritas. You can't judge them against real margaritas, so you have to appreciate them for what they are. That's why I normally just enjoy a couple bottles of Corona with my meal.
Someone else complained about their prices, but compared to other Mexican food places, and taking portion sizes into consideration, their prices are actually quite reasonable. Their prices are so reasonable that I don't even mind ordering from Doordash sometimes.”
“I order online takeout two times a month and I am consistently pleased with the quality and service of Papa Murphy's on Olson Drive in Rancho Cordova, CA. I highly recommend this store!”
“All bartenders here are very professional, friendly and attentive. They tolerate my nonsense..and remember my name! Cory is a legend, Steve is awesome, Michele rocks, and Jessica is excellent. The vibe here is dynamic, changing with the customer demographic throughout the day(they open early), but it is always fine. I see some reviews complaining about minor(trifling), issues..but thats not been my experience.
To serve such a varied clientele, all day, every day, this place nails it!
I would recommend it!🍻🎱🎯”

“Best plate I ate this year, I didn’t expect this, the amount of food and the taste is just 100% satisfaction, they got down man I’m exited to eat this. I never left a review in my 20 years of living and I told myself to leave them one! Amazing customer service and food and comforting to chill at while eating.”
“The ribs are seasoned and smoked to perfection. The oxtails are smoked and tender. The Mac n cheese is absolutely delicious and the greens...I could eat them daily. I will definitely be ordering whenever he comes to the town.
The service was great and the food was good and hot.
The chef was funny and friendly.”

“Burning Barrel Brewing Co. is easily one of the most exciting breweries I’ve visited—and I’ve visited a lot. The tap list? Insane. Over 20 beers on rotation, from hazy IPAs and crisp pilsners to wild smoothie sours and barrel-aged stouts. I tried a blueberry banana cheesecake sour that tasted like it came straight from a dessert menu. Meanwhile, the “Side Pull Pillows” Czech pilsner was perfectly clean and balanced—proof they do the classics just as well as the experimental. The space is laid-back and welcoming. Plenty of seating both inside and out, misters on the patio for hot days, and dog-friendly! The staff was super knowledgeable and happy to offer recommendations based on what I liked. You can really tell the team here cares about quality and innovation. Also, the service was fast, friendly, and genuinely passionate about beer—which makes a huge difference. Whether you’re into crushable lagers, pastry stouts, or bold fruit-forward sours, Burning Barrel has something that’ll blow you away. It’s the kind of place you want to bring friends to—but also one where you could chill solo and geek out on the beer list. Can’t wait to go back. 🍻”

“Absolutely incredible Salvadoran restaurant—if you’re looking for authentic, flavorful food, this is the spot.
• Unbelievably delicious and flavorful dishes
• Fresh, high-quality ingredients
• Generous portions—great value
• Always full of locals (a great sign)
This place could use a bit of renovation.
Don’t expect anything fancy—come for the real, authentic experience. Highly recommended!”

“I had the opportunity to visit one of their pop op events in Elk Grove. I needed to bring something home for my mom and wasn’t sure what to get so Janine made my mom a sundae and she loved it! My daughter got a milkshake. Everything was amazing, service was top notch, If you ever see their tents at an event you are at do yourself a favor and get a sundae, you won’t regret it!”
“I have been going to Jasper's for 10 years. My friend and I went every Friday to enjoy the delicious food and see David and Julia. The Fridays were great and will miss them. David I hope you enjoy your retirement and Julia I hope you do too. Take care of yourselves and make all your faithful customers hamburgers in your dreams. You will be missed”
“I went looking for a new place to try for a good diner style breakfast. I don’t normally eat out due to rising costs and ability to make great food at home but thought I’d look for a nice local spot to try out. I was not disappointed at all after trying their Specialty Omelette with biscuits and gravy. Friendly staff and excellent food. Will definitely recommend to others and will be back. Most of the menu looks great and the pricing while not cheap, it certainly was worth the cost for the quality of the food prepared.”
“We were SOoooooooo Excited when we saw you were moving in...and little nervous we'd start gaining weight! :) ! We used to drive to Folsom for every special event since Handles Ice Cream is the BEST!!!! So many unique and great options that taste amazing and are even fun to look at! We never feel rushed or like the employees are annoyed when we ask for samples! I think everyone in line wants to do the same, so people wait patiently. 100% worth the wait if there's a line!
If anyone hasn't been there you MUST go! The ice cream is that perfect balance of frozen and a little soft! So many options! Fruity types, so many choices with chocolate and even more than just one dairy free! My son loves the chocolate dipped waffle cones! The area is also peaceful to sit and enjoy the Amazing Ice-Cream Moments!! :)
Only thing I'd wish for is more seating options, and maybe someone to clean the tables off and even spray the sticky ground more often...at least during busy times! I know this isn't always possible though.
THANK YOU HANDLES!!! Please Never Leave Rancho! :)”
“It was okay. The vegan options were a plus but I was disappointed that they didn’t have a vegan ranch option. I like pizza with lots of toppings and will add sauce on top etc. Even so, it was all very bland. Even the whole cloves of roasted garlic didn’t have much flavor at all”

“Great place for ice cream. 50 years ago I worked at a Baskin-Robbins in Dayton, Ohio. Then, six cones with 2 scoops cost $1.68. Today those cones cost about $36. But the cones are bigger. The quality of the ice cream is the same. Excellent. I will go back again to sample all my old favorites. Tonight was black walnut and jamocha almond fudge.”
“Great place to eat. Service is always super friendly and food is excellent!”
“Best food! Mashallah...Fun to go with family... delicious karahi chicken... chana masala & chicken Biryani”
“Great location and food. The food here is always fresh and hot and an amazing experience overall. I usually buy my lava cakes here but I'll occasionally buy a meal too and they never disappoint. You won't be disappointed if you visit these guys they are awesome!”

“10/10 best experiences for a bar. Shannon is the best bartender I’ve come across! So lively and friendly super chill bar highly recommend for anyone if your Either looking to get a drink and chill or want to liven up the place you can sing some karaoke after 9pm 💋”
“The general manager, Mar, is beyond dedicated. Based on his professionalism, his positive demeanor, and his upbeat energy, I thought he was the regional manager. I've met two regional managers on previous trips to Five Guys, and Mar has all the same qualities. Five Guys never misses! Not only is there food always on point, but their people are always hard working, positive, and provide great customer service, which Mar exemplified in a brief experience at the counter. Promote him so that he can teach the next generation of Five Guys personnel to maintain that level of quality.”
“The bowls here are fresh and flavorful, with lots of healthy options and a great selection of fixings to customize your bowl. The sauces were tasty and really complemented the flavors well.
Pricing is a bit steep, so I’d love to see it come down a bit but overall, a great experience. I’ll definitely be back!”
“I passed by here late this morning. This is My first time going to this Dutch Bros location in Rancho Cordova on Sunrise Blvd. and Douglas Blvd. It's been a while since I last went to a Dutch Bros location in the Sacramento area. I ordered a Large Caramel Golden Eagle Blended with whipped cream on top and caramel swirl all around it. The service was good and amazing. I was the only person in the walk-up area. I really liked the seating and the awnings. My drink came out immediately. It was fast and quick. The total came to $8.25. I paid $10 in cash using two $5 bills for my order and receiving nearly $2 back in change.”

“I ordered on the app and it was pretty cool how the blonde lady at the front changed my fries upon pick-up. I’m assuming it was sitting there. Even though I had ordered maybe 10-15 minutes prior to coming in.
Great service by her. Shows she cares about customer experience.
Also, food is always hot when I pick-up.”
“Tien really helped get my order ready on time. For some reason on the app, my order was placed two hours from now instead of right away. She was able to help get it prepared within 5 to 10 minutes. I really appreciate her and everyone at this location great food, and service!”

“This place is amazing! The soup is very delicious and the options for Malatang is diverse. My fiancee is very picky and loves this place. Would definitely come again!”
“Would give this like a 4.5. Coffee was amazing, I had the egg custard coffee, 10 out of 10. I had the house special banh mi, portion was huge for the price and the bread was really good, but the ham was a bit gelatinous for my liking and the sandwich was a little dry.”
“As someone who loves sugarcane juice and is pretty much addicted to pandan waffles, I love Mamma Mia.
Their sugarcane juice is so refreshing, fragrant, and delicious; I usually get #3 - juice w/ calamansi, although I've tried the #2 - just sugarcane juice, and it's delicious, as well. I've given a few to my parents, who love it, too. (My mom, who drank it as a child growing up in Vietnam, praised Mamma Mia for the quality of their sugarcane juice.)
As for their pandan waffles - I've had a lot from bakeries in Orange County's 'Little Saigon,' and Mamma Mia's are my favorite. They're delicious, lightly sweet and fragrant, perfect texture (slightly chewy and soft), and just so good.
The staff here are so kind, helpful, and welcoming.
I definitely recommend coming here for sugarcane juice and pandan waffles! (I'm sure their coffee is good, too, though I have yet to try.)”
“Great Thai street food. It feels like I just ate at a street vendor in Thailand and it’s authentic. The old man owner is also very sweet and friendly. He has some good recommendations. We had the fried chicken liver and spicy fried fish and it was as good as I thought I’d be. It comes with fresh and warm sticky rice for the chicken liver rice. This is a hidden gem in this little plaza. Would come again”
“The ribs are seasoned and smoked to perfection. The oxtails are smoked and tender. The Mac n cheese is absolutely delicious and the greens...I could eat them daily. I will definitely be ordering whenever he comes to the town.
