    Bustdown Burger: Double Cheeseburger, Bacon, Grilled Onions, Lettuce, Tomatoes, Red Onions, Hot Link or Chicken Apple Link
    Stephen P.

    Friend told me he'd seen this spot on social media, and after a few bad recommendations from influencers, I was hesitant. Jamaela's spot, however, did not disappoint. Tried the bustdown burger and while it was super messy, the spicy link was so good. Got to chat with Jamaela a bit about her spot (it's been here for 7 years now!) and you can tell she cares for the quality of the food she puts out as well as the patrons that stop by. Service was great and attentive while we were sitting at the bartop. This is definitely a hole in the wall spot, but the taste of the food shines and will surprise ya. I'm excited to try the shrimp and grits next time and the bustdown rice - both recommended from Jamaela herself. I'll definitely be back, thanks for a great meal!

    Wow! Hidden inside a grocery store is some seriously good eats. I had the Bustdown Burger it came with my choice of hot link or chicken apple sausage, I went with the chicken apple sausage. This thing was beyond huge! Me staring at this monster, getting a game plan together how to best attack this humongous burger. Well, I finally went for it, I got a bit of everything. Hamburger, cheese, bacon, chicken apple sausage and the condiments. This was 100% delicious! While I was there, the previous owner was there helping the transition. She offered me a taste of their tri tip, bet well seasoned and juicy. I can't wait to go back for a plate of the tri tip.

    Good stuff!!!!

    Burgers taste amazing! They are very attentive to your wants/needs. Best place ever!!! Great food :)

    You won't find this anywhere the shrimp was perfection. Asparagus cooked right in a steak has so much flavor.

    When I tell you, this is a hidden gem I was in the area . This little spot came up. It's INSIDE of the market. The service was GREAT THE TWO WOMEN AT THE FRONT WICH WAS THE OWNER FELT LIKE HOME soon as I walked in. I was offered things that weren't even on the menu. I ordered a hibachi bowl with fried shrimp and steak that came with a side of asparagus. ALSO A SHRIMP PO BOY with fries !!THAT WAS PERFECT !Their breakfast is amazing ALSO .Can't wait to go back to try the bus down burger the bus down rice and the shrimp and grits with fried hot link they also had a BBQ menu for $20 with your choice of sides. They also offered oxtails for the low y'all only $35 with two sides. Everything was amazing. I might go back tomorrow. Please go support you will not regret it and tell a friend.

    I was very hopeful to have experienced the food and was looking forward to giving a positive review, BUT things took a turn with the HORRIBLE customer service! The young man, did not greet us. That alone made us feel uncomfortable and unwelcome with them, ENTITLED! We then respectfully commented on the customer service with hopes that it would improve our experience. The young gentleman appeared to have an attitude so we decided to cancel our order due to the unpleasant customer service. Hopefully others have a good experience :(

    Double Cheeseburger and Fries

    Ok, this place is tucked away in the back of a store. I first noticed the sign while driving a few weeks ago and then saw it on Instagram, so I had to give it a try. I ordered the double cheeseburger, and it did not disappoint--it tasted just like a homemade backyard burger. The fries were your standard frozen fries and could've used a little more salt, but they didn't take away from the overall meal. I'd definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area. Just be sure to order ahead or bring some patience since everything is made fresh.

    Came from Hayward to visit my Niece in West Sacramento, looking for something to eat and this place in the back of a local market seemed intriguing. We ordered the Ox tail dinner and Catfish dinner, both were quite tasty and good quality. This place is really set-up for takeout which is understandable, we went home and enjoyed our meal. I would recommend this place and would come here again.

    Date night this week took us to Captain Crab , and this was our first time here! Let me just say…read more.. it did NOT disappoint! To start, the service was great. Right when you walk in, everyone was friendly and welcoming. It was a busy Saturday evening, but we were seated pretty quickly. Our waitress was also so friendly, and our food came out FAST and piping hot! In our past experiences at other crab boil restaurants, it can take forever just to get a table, let alone get your food. So we really appreciated how quickly everything came out here! Now, THE FOOD! My hubby and I both got the Dungeness crab with the mild Cajun & garlic butter seasoning. It came with potatoes and corn, and we also added a side of rice and the Cajun fries. The seasoning was SO good! It had plenty of flavor without being overly salty. The crab was delicious and cooked perfectly. And those Cajun fries?! They were super crispy and seasoned to perfection! The only thing I would have changed was that we weren't given any crab crackers or tools to help us get into the crab. We actually thought they didn't have any at first. We later asked and were provided with some, but it would have been nice if they were offered or brought out with our gloves and bibs since we ordered crab. Other than that, I really enjoyed our experience! I especially loved that the restaurant has a more relaxed atmosphere compared to some other crab boil spots. The seats were comfortable, the music wasn't extremely loud, and it still had a fun vibe while being quiet enough for us to actually have a conversation. Overall, I'm giving Captain Crab a 10/10! We'll definitely be back!

After seeing a TikTok influencer recommend it and show what she ordered, it looked really good, so I finally decided to give it a shot. I had been craving something that was light, balanced, and packed with protein, and after reading the reviews, the All Everything Protein Bowl seemed like the perfect choice. I placed my order for pickup, and the first thing I noticed when I walked in was how clean the restaurant smelled. Surprisingly, there wasn't a strong seafood odor at all, which I actually appreciated. Service: picked up my food upon arrival and everything was ready. The All Everything Protein Bowl was fresh, light, and didn't have overpowering flavors. It came with chicken, fish, and shrimp, making it a well-balanced, protein-packed meal. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I ended up really enjoying it. The seafood tasted fresh and clean, and the ingredients worked well together without feeling too heavy. My only critique is that I wish it came with a little more sauce. Other than that, I had a great experience and will definitely be back to try some of their other menu items.

    Food: 3.8 Service: 2.5…read more 1st time coming here even though my wife has been coming here frequently with her girlfriends, so excited to give this establishment a try after working / doing demonstrations at the State Fair. There's plenty of parking and after walking in; I was disappointed since there was no one willing to take orders in person so we were forced to navigate their kiosk menu ordering system. Their system is fairly simple to use, plenty of pictures to show you what each item potentially looks like. But if you're not use to ordering from a kiosk then it can be frustrating. We finally got our order placed and sat until our food was ready (call by name). When our food was ready, everything was there except my salad (only thing they didn't have to cook, LOL). Food was prepared well and plated nicely. I was surprised that my wife ordered her fish fried and not grilled but the fish portion was huge, but she seemed very happy with her food & her sides: brussel sprout and sweet potato fries. My two fish tacos was pretty good the ends of each portion was mostly batter which gave you that crunch sound on the first bite but the tacos was missing something maybe some salsa/hot sauce or a crema. My side: street corn and Caesar salad. Their street corn was on point so I added it to my tacos which gave it more flavor. The salad was nice and refreshing. I did also order their clam chowder which was creamy but after several spoonfuls, the taste of butter was prominent; so I never finish the soup. BONUS: they serve Stubborn soda, so if you never had it then it's worth just stopping in for that alone! Overall, nice visit.

    This was such a fun experience, but I don't know why it took me so long to try octopus Baja…read more They are located in Midtown, they have their own, albeit small parking lot, and this is definitely a place worth checking out! Diners tip: They offer happy hour up until 6 PM during the week. I met a friend for a light bite, and I was pleasantly surprised by most of the experience. Service is incredibly slow and it appears that they literally only have two people working in the entire restaurant doing everything. The vibe is super comfy with comfortable seating and there is music playing. It does become increasingly more difficult to enjoy table conversation because the music was louder than it probably needed to be. We were there right before happy hour ended, so we ended up ordering the shrimp cocktail and shrimp tacos. The shrimp cocktail was really disappointing. It was way too watery, and lacked flavor. Even the shrimps tasted like they had been frozen, defrosted, and then thrown into this tomato water. It tasted like they threw in a little Tabasco for the spice and that was about that. The, mini pieces of toast were also underwhelming, and had this been a better dish. I would've preferred it served with tortilla chips, I absolutely would not order this again. The shrimp tacos were really tasty. The flavor of the shrimp, and the freshness of the salsa and avocado made for a good bite. The tortilla itself was cold and I don't know why they did not heat it, or pan seared or something. We originally had asked the server to split the check and rather than ask us how we wanted it split, he put one appetizer on one check and one on the other. The problem is is that one was twice as much as the other, and the intention was for us just to give him our credit cards and have him split the total between the two of us and he couldn't seem to figure that out. In spite of the shrimp cocktail experience, I definitely would come back here just to try some of the entrées. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and I think it would be a fun date spot, and definitely. It's a fun place to hang out with friends. Just keep in mind Service is super slow so if you're in a hurry to go to the theater or you have other plans, this may not be the most ideal dining situation under those circumstances

First impression - yes, as others have mentioned, the parking is not close or easy to find. You have to drive all the way around the hotel, then locate a valet to open a gate so that you can park. Our table had the ahi nachos which they all reported as very good (I don't eat raw seafood, so I did not try it). We also ordered the crab cakes which were very small, and the sauce on top was VERY spicy. I love crab cakes but these were definitely not the best we've ever had. One of our guests said he enjoyed his steak and scallops entree. Another guest had the fish and chips which he said was good. Next guest ordered an all steak meal which she said she enjoyed. I ordered the skinny margarita, which was not good and I did not continue to drink after the first few sips. I was really excited to order the lobster, as I hadn't had lobster in quite some time. It looked amazing when it arrived, but it was, sadly, overcooked, very difficult to cut and I gave up after a bite. The mashed potatoes and vegetables that accompanied it were good. For $73.00, however, I was greatly disappointed. Our server was hit or miss, and she did not check back on us to ask about our meals which was sadly unexpected. The location is very nice. We took a little stroll after dinner outside by the river. I perused some of the reviews and was astounded at one in particular. This patron gave her entire experience a ONE star because she chose to eat OUTSIDE, at a restaurant on A RIVER, and even though her party found the food and service to be divine, she insulted the restaurant with a one star review because she claimed her party was swarmed throughout their meal by mosquitoes. Mosquitoes that were OUTSIDE! Imagine! (Insert eye roll here!). Unbelievable! And soooo ridiculous! Why not ask to be moved inside when this "overwhelming swarm" first overcame your table and viciously attacked you? And yet this reviewer stayed outside and kept enduring the "mosquito monsoon". Good grief. How in the heck is the restaurant, which AGAIN, is located ON A RIVER, supposed to control those mosquitoes (which plague us ALL when we are outside in warmer weather)? And why claim to have suffered through your meal by these swarms of mosquitoes and not even think to ask to be moved inside? Anyway, it was sad to read such a ridiculous review. About mosquitoes being outside. On a river. Which Scott's surely cannot be held responsible for! Outrageous!

Came for a bday dinner - made reservations on Open Table and got sat relatively quickly. Free bread and butter. Butter was soft which was very much appreciated. Bread was not warm but still fine. 5/5 Boston clam chowder. Got a bowl and split with a friend. Really creamy with decent clam and potatoes. 5/5 field greens salad. The dressing is light, the cheese is delicious. The pecans are sweet and crunchy. One of my favorite salads ever. Not sure why it's so delicious! 4/5 crab cakes. Small portions but the cakes were flaky and the crispy fried scallions were so good I added to everything. Server was King, he was excellent, taking care of all our needs and so polite. He offered to split our entrees for us when we were having a hard time deciding. 3/5 halibut was sadly not very well flavored. 3.5/5 the ribeye wasn't as good as previous times. A bit chewy and flat. 4.5/5 garlic mashed potatoes with the entree didn't taste very garlicky so we asked the server to double check it was garlic. He came out with a giant replacement serving for us which was awesome and perfect. He indicated the chef added extra garlic which was exactly what we needed. We got a free dessert for our bday girl. She got the mixed berry cobbler complete with a candle and I got a crème brulee. 4/5 crème brulee, one of the better desserts I've had there. We also got a free champagne bottle for her bday l which was a nice touch. Inside was dim and dark but always feels very private. The entrees were less tasty than in prior visits which was a bit disappointing but prior visits were much better than expected so the bar may have been set too high. Hoping the food will be back on point next time, but overall still a solid visit.
