Bodega Kitchen and Cocktails is located in the corner of a plaza and could easily be missed. Don't…read morelet that happen to you as this hidden gem serves up very flavorful cuisine. With authentic flavors and food items, there's not many like it around town. Bodega serves up food from the Caribbean Islands. One of their most popular dishes is their jerk chicken. They have this both as a chicken wing appetizer and as a plated dinner. I personally really enjoy white meat when it comes to chicken and the dinner plate was leg and thigh so I opted to go with the wing appetizer. My only complaint about it was its size. I thought it could have had more wings as I thoroughly enjoyed each one with the jerk sauce I added to it. The wings were very crisp on the outside and full of flavor. Adding the jerk sauce or their house made hot sauces enhanced the flavor even more. I could really see myself coming just for these wings! I also had the Cubano sandwich. This hot, pressed sandwich has ham, cheese, pickles, and mustard. It's a popular item that also is bursting with flavor. The combination of all the ingredients was mouthwatering. It comes with a side of fries to round out the meal. Service at Bodega was very nice. We found the servers to be very patient with us and the food came out reasonably. I was specifically there for a birthday party where we had cake being served from outside the restaurant. Bodega has a cake cutting charge, but seeing our tiny cake they waived it for us! It's a cute restaurant and definitely different than many you will find around Sacramento. If you're in the pocket area, Bodega is well worth a visit!

We ordered the plantain nachos, jerk chicken, guava shrimp, and pineapple upside down cake. Our party ordered margaritas, which they said was on the stronger side.

We grabbed seats at the bar so we could watch the game and enjoy a few drinks. Adi was our bartender and did a great job checking in on us throughout the meal without being overbearing. Really appreciated the attentive service. We ordered the Dino ribs, pork ribs, tri tip, and lemon pepper chicken, and everything was delicious. The meats were flavorful and cooked well. Jenny recommended the Oreo and chocolate milkshakes for my girls, and they absolutely loved them. After dinner, I took the girls out to their backyard area, and they had a great time walking around and checking everything out. It was a nice way to end the evening. Overall, great food, excellent customer service, and a family-friendly atmosphere. We had a really good experience and would definitely bring the family back again.

First off, this was our FIRST of what will be MANY, many more visits to this ** 'Hometown' burger…read moredrive in! ~~~~~~~~~ When we visited this afternoon for the 1st time, we were greeted by the most charming woman, who we later found out was the establishment; Patricia, AND she told us her first location is in Tacoma, Washington.....which is where I was born and raised!! And they are still there after almost 12 years! Both Bruce and I are very picky when we go somewhere to have what we think is going to be a 'freshly made, and high quality beef hamburger.......'; BUT when it ACTUALLY is, and it is such HIGH quality in the entire meal (the burger, the bun, the REAL ice cream shake, and the freshly cut batter dipped, and very crispy and HOT fries) falls into this category, then I am going to be very honest with my review! This quaint, but very good sized Burger Drive In is FLAWLESS in everything!!!! The decor, food, owner/and staff, and the prices is PERFECT! The meal was so large and good, that I could not eat it all. Then when Patricia gave us 2 of each of their specially fresh made dipping sauces.......well, I could not have been more happy! BUT what set this into the 'Winners Cup' arean for me, they had REAL Reese's Peanut Butter and she even made it possible for me to have it on my FRESH and very high standard double cheese burger!!!! PERFECTLY Perfect as Mary Poppins would say. HIGHLY recommend this secret gem right almost next to the world famous Gunther's Ice Cream on Franklin Blvd. Thanks SO much for the experience; Patricia!! We will be back very soon, as I cannot wait to have the FRESH Fruit Blackberry Shake! ** Bruce had the Barq's Root Beer shake and he loved it!

My husband and I met up with our friend for exactly that - a way to wrap up a busy week and also catch up. There was plenty of parking available in the designated lot, and ordering at the counter was a breeze. We ordered lucky burgers and fries, all classic and added lucky sauce and garlic aioli on the side. Everything tasted super fresh and we especially loved the fries and sauces. We didn't get a chance to try out their milkshakes, but we'll be back to try more on the menu! There's also a cool double decker bus and tables in the outdoor seating in the back, which add to the overall good vibes of Lucky's.

A meal that feels like it came straight from grandma's kitchen…read more Stopped by Fixins with The Kid after a doctor's appointment in Sacramento. We had a reservation and were seated immediately. From the moment we walked in, the hospitality was on point and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. One thing I love about Fixins is that the menu truly has something for everyone. We even got the chance to meet Aunt Pearl, whose name appears on the menu, which made the experience feel even more special. We ordered the Chicken & Waffles along with sides of Mac & Cheese and Candied Yams. The candied yams were buttery, sweet, and everything you want from a classic soul food side. The mac and cheese was rich, creamy, cheesy, and packed with flavor. The waffle was a standout. It had a subtle spice to it, a crispy exterior, and paired perfectly with the chicken. The chicken itself was well seasoned, perfectly battered, and fried just right. And then there's the Red Kool-Aid. Fixins should honestly bottle that stuff and sell it by the gallon because it was THAT good. One thing that caught my eye on the menu was their Kool-Aid soaked pickle. I didn't try it this visit, but next time I'm definitely ordering one of their sandwiches because it comes with the sandwich plates and I'm too curious not to. The food, service, and atmosphere all came together to create an experience that felt like family. It truly feels like somebody's grandmother is in the back making sure every plate leaves the kitchen with love. Definitely looking forward to coming back.

I attended a neighbor event Afrobeats day party this weekend June 27th close to Fixins Soul Kitchen. They were kind enough to allow my lady friend and myself to use there restroom while attending the event. We decided to leave the event around 8:15 pm and visited Fixins one last time to use the restaurant restroom. My lady friend and I spoke outside the restaurant briefly making plans to meet at Fixins another time so I couldtry the food. As I go to leave on my motorcycle allowing it to warm up an employee from Fixins comes out to the sidewalk yelling at me go go go just go very very rudely saying my motorcycle is too loud just go. I explained to him it need to warm up and rudely waving his hand rudely in the air on the sidewalk still saying to me go go go! Now the music from the event was very loud you could clearly hear it from 34th st to 33st. So my motorcycle couldn't haveen be much louder. I definitely won't be visiting Fixins Soul Kitchen on Broadway ever with rude employee like this working in there restaurant! I've lived in the Oak Park area my entire life 62 years always treating others with respect. Absolutely ridiculous behavior, this employee has no business in the restaurant environment.

During weekends parking can be hard to find so be prepared to walk a bit. They offer seating inside and outside. The inside also has seating in their barrel room when it's open. Menu offers different BBQ meats, sides, burgers, sandwiches, and even soft serve. We usually get the combo and our favorites so far have been the brisket, tri tip, pork belly burnt ends. As for sides, we love the collard greens, beans, mac and cheese. We also love the different bbq sauces, ranging from sweet, to vinegary, to spicy. Everything is delicious, bbq is perfectly cooked, and sides are packed with flavor. Staff are great at keeping everything clean and organized. It can get a little busy but it usually doesn't take too long before a table opens up. They do run out of certain bbq cuts and sides when it's busy as well.

The location is a little tucked away on K St close to DoCo, but we were still able to find street parking. The atmosphere is more casual than I typically expect for a steak house, so I was completely blown away when the quality of the food and drinks were on par with some of the best steakhouses I've ever been to! We had heard good things, but they exceeded expectations! The short rib croquets we ordered for appetizers were hearty and delicious. We also had the Cesar salad which was good. My mother-in-law and I ordered separate entrees - the lamb lollipops and the braised short rib. Of course, the star of the show was the 50 oz. Tomahawk Wagyu steak that my husband split with his sister and her husband. The menu says feeds two, but it fed three easily. It could probably stretch even further if you order the right sides. I got to taste it, and it was the highlight of the dinner. Tender, flavorful, and delicious! I definitely think we'll be back for future special occasions. The desserts were a nice way to cap off the night! We were so full that we didn't need them, but my husband got a complimentary dessert for his birthday. We decided to order a peach bread pudding g for the table. Totally scrumptious! Kaitlyn took great care of us all night! The service was great, and the food was even better.

I was also able to grab some ketchup to enjoy those fries. My burger and fries was delivered and there were more fries than expected. I focused on those first because who like cold fries, right??? The fries were actually pretty good, an above average standard French fry with salt. The burger however was phenomenal. There was an amazing crust on the outside reminiscent of a backyard bbq. There was ample bacon, lettuce, cheese and sauce to make it a balanced bite. The bun was high end brioche style, they really went all out on quality of ingredients. A standard burger build but done perfectly! Beer was cold, food was great and the ambiance is a perfect local bar. Great spot to go if you don't mind hunting for a parking space.
