| Nubbins Drive In | Roseville, CA | |
|
A little drive in adjacent to an empty lot on Washington. Food pretty good, especially the fries and liquid stuff like shakes......real homemade flavors. Burgers are ok, but if they worked just a little harder on customer service they'd double their business.

| High Steak House in Thunder Valley Casino | Lincoln, CA | |
|
This is a first class place. Have eaten here about 6 times and their food, ambiance and service is excellent. Especially like their halibut (seasonal). Their sides are really good (and ample). They do seem pricey, but they do give you lots and the quality is great. It's often crowded, even at high prices, but that's because it's worth it! Things are ala carte. Great special occassion restaurant.

| Tahoe Joe's | Roseville, CA | |
|
They've got some variations on the normal, like they have shrimp that is tempura, but is sweet and crunchy and good. Much of their stuff is wood grilled....and their decor is woodsy and comfortable like their name suggests. Their food and service is above average in taste and quality, although it can get busy at peak times was worse before the recession. What they have that sets them apart is they have a family takeout menu that is a real value. You can get a great inexpensive meal for 4-5 that includes grilled chicken and ribs. and you won't be left hungry. you can order for 30 if you need. ya gotta try it . take a look online, you will be impressed.

| Zakuro's | Lincoln, CA | |
|
A decent restaurant out where you don't expect to find many Japanese places. They do certain things very well, like their gyoza and suishi. They do have a suishi bar for those so inclined. They also have outside, shaded seating for those nice evenings. You might want to try their unique Zakuro spaghetti (with seafood). It's actually very good (slightly spicey). We usually stay with their reliable teriyaki dishes and sashimi tuna. It's really consistently good although they can get busy and then it can get a little slow. We're regulars so we don't mind.

| pizza guys | Lincoln, CA | |
|
I usually don't review 'fast food', but for locals I think it'd be nice if they knew that this place exists. It's hidden behind Raley's and it has superior pizza for the price! It's about 25% cheaper than most and is really very tasty pizza. They also give away free 2 liters of soda or ice cream with orders over $15! One of the things they do well is wings. We order the bone-in wings and they're very good. What a value....you should try it.

| Casa Ramos | Lincoln, CA | |
|
Eaten here about 3 times a month. It was a family style restaurant before so, its decor is also mostly booths. Open for lunch and dinner. It's convenient and the food and service is very consistently good. Plenty of parking, since it's next to a Wells Fargo Bank. Relleno is excellent. Their chili verde is also excellent. We like to buy yummy shredded beef tamales ala carte for eating later.

| Carmelita's | Roseville, CA | |
|
An excellent restaurant. Great rellenos, enchiladas and guac. Maybe a little pricier than most Mexican places, but it's worth it. Old little place on a busy street, with only curbside parking. Will become one of your favorites if you try it.

| Boxing Donkey | Roseville, CA | |
|
This place is more a pub than a restaurant, although they do an extensive menu. Dark, and minimally comfortable seating. They don't put that much effort into their food. Fish and chips were good due to the good batter, but the 'chips' were only adequate. Fish tacos were pretty simple, but reasonably tasty, due to the battered cod. Their corned beef sandwich is good though, as it should be.

| Awful Annie's | Lincoln, CA | |
|
I think this place has improved since it opened. The food is above average,
but then, so is the price. Cozy decor with good service. Parking is lousy,
especially at 'prime' times.....so, get here early. Price
reflects breakfast and lunch. Eaten here quite a few times, but never
for dinner.

Dropped the franchise and is now the "Waffle Farm"

| Tugboat Fish & Chips | Lincoln, CA | |
|
This place has improved over the years! Food is very good now days........used
to be a bit greasy for me. They've enlarged their menu and even include
sushi!!....and it's decent, considering it's a fish and
chips shop!! I especially like their deepfried calamari, but then
I'm partial to squid! They've enlarged the menu items and
now you'll find something you really like! We eat(or take out)
here at least once a month.

| Rosati's Pizza | Roseville, CA | |
|
The pizza is very good! The thin crust especially! They do both, thick
and thin. They cut their pizza's up into little squares, which
is actually kind of a pain, but it tastes really good! It's a bit
oily.......but then.......it's pizza! They serve a whole bunch
of stuff, like sandwiches and ribs. Their Italian beef sandwich is
also good. I'll be trying many of their things in the future, but
try it, you'll like it.

| Suede Blue | Roseville, CA | |
|
This place is in the old 'Carvers' building. Light formal
decor. Good selection menu. Great service and excellent food. Meats
are naturally, very tender and tasty....and cooked per order. 'Designed'
dishes are tasty as well as pretty. I'd say this is a great 'special
occassion' place since it's a bit pricey. We definitely will
return many times

| Redcoats British Pub and Restaurant | Pleasanton, CA | |
|
If you're into the British soul food, this is the place for you.
Place has outdoor seatin...by the sidewalk and alongside the building.
Very typical British pub style restaurant. Nice size menu and something
for everyone. Fish and chips as well as baked cod, plus the meat pie stuff......all
of it very good. Obviously a popular local hangout with an attentive
staff. We'll be back.

| The Fish Market Maui | Lahaina, HI | |
|
Specializing in local fishes. Sandwiches (about $12) and plates including
mahi-mahi, ono, ahi, shrimp, crab, onaga, opakapaka, walu, uku
plus soups like chowder, gumbo and bisque. Counter order, like many
Hawaiian take outs with styrofoam boxes. Not much room for seating,
but take out is their thing. Open 7 days a week for lunch and early dinner.

| Palazzo Ristorante Italiano | Aiea, HI | |
|
We try and eat here after visiting the Aloha Swap Meet. Very good little
place that's not very busy...I guess Italian isn't real popular
in Hawaii. The food and service is very good. We usually order the linquini
and clams since it's really tasty. Consistently good.......and
that's why we keep coming back.

| Side Street Inn | Honolulu, HI | |
|
Wow......talk about a place tucked into an 'side street'!
Almost no convenient parking....use valet if you come during 'prime
times'. An old, little bar type eatery, with some great 'bar
type' foods and even some fish and local foods. Their fried pork
chops are really good. So many dishes it'll take a couple of visits to evaluate thoroughly,
but what we ate was tasty. Noisy, popular place so show up early!

| Paradiso Seafood & Grille | Honolulu, HI | |
|
This is an update. The Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center was renovated
in 2008 and this restaurant was 'upgraded' at this time. It's
gone from a 'coffee shop' to a more formal place. The food and
pricing is above average. The hamburger and gravy dishes, at lunch,
are still really tasty.

| Skates On The Bay | Berkeley, CA | |
|
First time back in fifteen years......but a good experience. First,
it's hard to beat the location, with it's view of the bay. Had
their ribs and it was very tender and tasty.....sauce was sweet. For
$15, it came with sweet potato french fries, which were uniquely good.
About 8 ribs or so, which was plenty for lunch. Prime rib was great. Also
like their clam chowder. I think this is a well above average seafood
place which is worth visiting for it's value! Surprised at the
fair pricing, especially since you usually pay extra for this kind
of location. It's a good lunch.

| Coach's Sports Bar and Grill | Rocklin, CA | |
|
Coach's is in the Strike's bowling alley, so your kids could
have a fun time with an adjoing arcade. Eaten there a few times after
bowling for lunch. Hamburgers are very good. Most of the food is average
with ok service. Decent size menu. Pricing's ok, maybe a little
high. We'll be back since it's often very convenient.
