    This is supposed to be a mushroom burger.
    Amy B.

    Whoever was working at Bowinkles tonight should be ashamed of themselves for sending a burger with me that looked like this... y'all need to take a little bit of pride in your work. The fact that half of the cheese was off of the burger and hanging outside of the bun and the other half of the burger didn't have any cheese at all. There was one piece of bacon on only half of the burger. And the bun only had mayonnaise on half of it. I'm not quite sure what was going on in the kitchen tonight, but they really need to get it together. No need to go back to this place ever again.

    First timing being here it's a good experience an good food. Great service I would recommend this place an reasonable prices on the food

    In a pinch quick and easy fast food smack in the middle of Rio Linda. A community favorite. One place you can still get a decent meal for not to expensive. $10.99 before tax got me the French cheeseburger combo with fries and a small drink. Also got a side taco for I think $2.79? Taco was surprisingly very flavorful, but gone in 2 bites. The burger was a nice touch on the French roll gave it some class, but obviously a frozen patty, although was 1/2pound so good portion. Fresh veggies, good service. Fries were cooked and salted just perfectly and came with a generous portion as well. Have been here years ago and will be back. Can always count on a town's favorite!

    The ice cream is really good. If you want real icecream, come here.

    I'm torn how to rate this bc some parts were really good, others ok and some just not good. So let…read moreme try it by pros and cons. Pros: The place seemed very clean. The staff were very kinda, helpful and friendly. Someone on staff was thoughtful enough to stock the bathroom as follows: tampons, pads, leak pads, diapers for babies and breast leak pads for those who nurse. This was 10/10 kind and classy. I also loved the bathroom sign which has man, woman, handicap or alien, who cares just wash your hands. This is the attitude we need everywhere. The had as much of a beer and wine collection as I would expect in a small place and the waiter even offered to change my wine if I didn't like it. My food: garlic shrimp (app) was solidly good not amazing but nothing to complain about, ricotta with balsamic drizzle and garlic bread (app) also solidly good, the ricotta was whipped to smooth and the garlic bread was some of the best bread I have had since moving to Sacramento finally bread that didn't taste like sourdough the only part that wasn't good was there was too much balsamic and it was a little bitter but still good. My husband had the cottage pie which he liked but said I wouldn't bc the mushrooms are very prominent. So if you don't mind mushrooms you should like it. He said it was very good. We didn't have dessert bc we were too full. Also the stars hanging from the ceiling were cute The cons: Someone else mentioned it but it does feel a bit like white table cloth cafeteria. Not sure that ruins the experience as it was still comfortable. The booth we sat it was made of comfortable material however, as my husband and I are giants we couldn't sit directly across from each other the tables were too close together and should be adjusted a bit. I found it a bit odd so many sandwiches were on the menu for dinner and in an Italian fusion restaurant. I'd suggest increasing pasta dishes or maybe some other rustic Italian menu items for dinner and make the sandwiches for lunch. This wasn't a regular thing but they had music when we went and it was not good. They didn't need microphones in a space that size that wasn't insulated. It was all too loud and the singers were not in tune all the time. It made the enjoyment of the night less and we had trouble hearing each other. I wouldn't have given them a 3.5 without the music or regular background music. Last thing, I cringed when I saw Italian dishes having cheddar cheese listed as an ingredient in it. However, given how cleanly cooked what I had was and how much care they tried to put into it I would come back and try it on another night. I'm not sure if we will go back but if we do it would be on a non music night.

    So nice to find a vegan restaurant not too far from home…read more I loved the easy menu style. Basically: do you want a small plate or a big plate? Soup? Dessert? Simple. Best part is all the food is delicious. We started with 2 bowls of mung bean w/ mixed vegetable soup. It was a true creamy soup, so I put my spoon down and drank it out of the bowl. Sorry manners? Then ordered 2 large plates of short grain brown rice, kidney beans w/ onion & garlic, baked yam, kabocha & butternut squash w/ garlic, collard greens and kale w/ shiitake mushroom sauce, and a mixed salad w/ basil lemon & agave dressing. Everything was very good. My favorites were the kidney beans, the yam combo, and the greens with the basil lemon dressing. We also got a Bahn Mi. Loved that it was really full. I don't like a skimpy Bahn Mi. For dessert, we took home slices of Coconut Pie, Chocolate Pie, Key Lime Pie, and the Himalaya Pie (layered with key lime, strawberries, coconut, and drizzled chocolate). My favorite was the Key Lime Pie -- tart and creamy. Then the Chocolate Pie, which was soft and indulgent. The Himalaya Pie was fun because every bite tasted a little different. The only one I didn't care for was the Coconut Pie because the texture was a bit hard from the coconut fat. One of the best things about this place is that they change things up based on what's seasonal. We travel with our dogs and called ahead to ask about outdoor seating. They don't officially have patio seating, but they kindly pulled a table outside for the two of us. They accommodate well-behaved dogs, and there was a great overhang for shade. We felt very comfortable sitting out there, so don't be shy about asking if you're traveling with your pooches. I briefly saw the inside and it was neat and well organized. I also saw someone bring their own container, which I loved. Definitely a spot we'll return to.
