The King\\\'s Diner, newest addition to the cuisine of Sanger, makes a fresh start of a location that has seen the comings and goings of several lesser occupants. The restaurant is meticulously clean; the walls festooned with old vinyl records and a photo of the owner himself in a pink Cadillac. A lifesize (really? the King must have been short) Elvis figure is in full swing, and the music on the jukebox is classic. Burgers and sandwiches are on the menu, and all of are generous proportions. My gods, the Big Bopper is a full pound (well, three 1/3 patties) of beef with all the trimmings. The Peggy Sue is the little burger, along with fries being enough to feed a farmworker a decent lunch. I do have some suggestions: I would like to see the Herb Alpert burger - with a fire roasted ortega chile and house made pickled onions, and my personal favorite, the Cadillac - jack cheese, onion ring and chili. The chili is very good, and (up until now) offered on a hefty hot dog or over fries. The front of the diner has seating for 20-30, but there are two back rooms that may be used for large parties. Since I first discovered the King\\\'s Diner, I have brought friends and colleagues and they have been suitably impressed. Long live the King! Big Five Stars! less

Sherwood Inn	Sanger, CA
The Sherwood Inn is now the Old Schoolhouse Restaurant. with a clean new interior and better hours. Review to follow.

The restaurant is in remarkably good condition given that it is in a 40 year old strip mall; the decor is sparse but very clean. Service is prompt and friendly, the lunchtime dining room was a little over half full and servers kept weaving through the tables constantly. Salsa is fresh cut tomato, onion and cilantro but pretty mild. Fortunately a squeeze bottle of salsa roja is included. I opted for a chile colorado concha tostada, and it was served quickly; nice and hot. It seemed the lettuce was dressed with a little lemon juice, a nice touch. Beef was falling-apart tender in a mild red sauce. Prices are very reasonable and portions are generous. Overall a pleasant experience, especially with the friendly service. less
Austin's	Sanger, CA
No longer exists. Diner type restaurant that I always wanted to try and never did. Oh well.

There is very nice patio dining available, but in the heat of the summer it is rarely used. The menu is limited to the standard mexican items; there doesn't seem to be a signature dish offered. The "Selma Special" is simply two steak tacos, decent enough but not wildly terrific. Shredded beef for tostadas and tacos had very little flavor. The salsa is more of a pico de gallo, pretty simple diced tomato, cilantro and jalapeno. Again, not a lot to get excited about but at least it is fresh. Mexican beers are $4 each but there is a good selection. At least for this visit, a very average experience. less

And it has survived the paving of Academy Ave and the incursions of newer fast-food places to the north. And I didn't want to wait in the 100+ degree heat for a Big Mama's or Chuck Wagon burger. As far as burgers go, the quality is goodish but the prices are bizarre. Why do managers think that putting a spoonful of chili on a burger or hot dog is worth an extra $1.50 or more? The big burger combo runs $8, which will get more food than one can deal with at other places in Sanger. Don't even look at the calorie counts, especially for the ice cream creations. The interior may be clean but it certainly is not in good repair, with worn flooring, peeling paint and faded posters. I am not quite sure how Foster's of Sanger will continue to survive, but I hope they can. less
La Enchilada Michoacana	Fresno, CA

There are no burgers or salads at La Enchilada. There are enchiladas. And tacos and burritos and a breakfast menu that looks smokin' good. Prices are in the $5 to $10 range, the cafe is very clean and the chips are homemade. I wish I had asked for a Modelo, that would have made lunch perfect. Very friendly people. Really good food. less
Colima's Mexican Restaurant	Sanger, CA
Clean shop, good sized portions for the money. Limited menu with seafood options. Chile verde seriously lacking in spice, salsa wasn't much ether but chips fresh. One server for 20 tables. Three stars worthy.
Sanchez Rib Master	Sanger, CA
Does not exist anymore. Now it is Cobian's Taqueria (see review)
