    The diner...
    Faith R.

    The service is excellent and food is great and prices are respectable for a working person. They offer a variety of American Food. It's an outdoor dining area and they are always well staffed and food is fresh.

    Well, quite easy to find it was a little depressing pulling up. The windows are plastered with multiple copies of the menu, cash only signs and a variety of propaganda. Multitude of science telling you not to eat on the premises, but there's picnic tables along side of the building due to the flies in the heat we didn't stay, My bacon cheeseburger was OK wouldn't ride home about it. The french fries were overcooked and so salty, I could eat no more than four or five of them. My husband's burger was also all right, but very very well done. The onion rings were also well overcooked. It's a place to experience once, but not twice.

    The thinnest, most pathetic, and tasteless pastrami sandwich in America.
    Maggie R.

    We were hoping for a better experience after hearing about Connie's, but it turned out to be just ok. Nothing special here. They skimped on the the pastrami in sandwich - barely had any meat. Mostly bread. The cheeseburger was just ok. Boaring and tasteless. Service was good though, and the place is old. Really old. We won't return.

    A weak and pathetic Pastrami Sandwich
    Tami F.

    We were hyped about eating at Connie's Drive-In and drove 10-miles to grab lunch. Everything we read and saw looked awesome. I ordered what was to be the best pastrami sandwich in the Sacramento region and a strawberry banana shake. My wife ordered a cheeseburger with extra crispy cross-cut fries. Talking about MAJOR LET DOWN... the pastrami sandwich was a joke. It was the weakest and most pathetic sandwich I ever had. The pastrami had zero flavor and dry. The mustard tasted good though - LOL. The strawberry- banana shake was pinker than Pepto-Bismo, like they add too much strawberry syrup. However, they did use a real banana. My wife's cheeseburger was just alright with little sauce. It wasn't that good. Now the fries were extra crispy considering they weren't fresh. This is a very old burger drive-in with menus covering all windows. It's definitely a hole in the wall. Unfortunately, we won't be back. It's not worth it. I'm 100% certain Togo's will make a better pastrami sandwich and Sonic will make a better cheeseburger. Consume here at your own risk of eating a sub-par sandwich or something.

    Food was hot and fresh and I liked that I was able to call ahead and order. Food was still hot by the time I got back home in Antelope.

    One of my favorites to visit for lunch or dinner time. Staff is friendly, food is fresh and plenty…read moreof great items. My go to favorite is the Salmon plate. Their salmon comes with a chimichurri and roasted red pepper pesto on top that are phenomenal. The entree plate comes with two sides, my favorites are the Mac & Cheese and roasted veggies. However in the summertime they have a lime corn thats phenomenal! Additionally they have salads, sandwiches and bowls. Plenty of seating inside and outside, during the colder nights & months they have heat lamps on. Their iced tea is fresh brewed, they have sodas, beer & wine to drink.

    I have not been here in a while…read more I just love how fresh the food is here Honestly, I would get a part-time job here just to be able to eat her more. Let me know if you need some help. Coming from the gal that works way too many hours volunteers way too much. It has a lot on your plate. So I don't eat a whole entire lot my appetite is always very strange so I definitely knew ordering the steak salad. I was going to have such a huge amount and would it be able to eat it all but thankfully, my husband was with me and he actually enjoyed it. I didn't tell him there was blue cheese on there because he did ask but I knew I added feta so I didn't mention it really and he didn't say anything so he must've really loved the dressing and everything else to not even notice it. I've always loved the inside of this place. It's big it's like the perfect lighting perfect open window windows and honestly the staff here always seems very pleasant and happy. I love that they have barqs root beer it is the only kind of drink. If you know you know root beer drinkers will tell you this is the best root beer that ever has been. So even if I'm not drinking soda if I happen to see it, I will get it. I'd definitely would love to figure out how I can order my salad personally for me at work downtown so that way I could order from here on DoorDash because it just seems like such a healthier option and so good in like filling it's not just healthy for you but it's like filling as well I don't know what dressing they exactly used, but it was perfect. I was able to ask for no cranberries in it and that's where I switched that out for the feta cheese. I was really happy overall I'll probably be back within the next week. lol

    The service was friendly, however it took over a hour to get our main dishes…read more The burger was kinda small, blue cheese crumbles were small & low amount, thank goodness I added pepper jack cheese. It doesn't come with mayo, so I'm glad I added mayo, bbq, aioli sauce on side. The arugula was welted on the burger , I'm not sure how I feel about that tbh, I rather a different type of lettuce. In my opinion they only added the arugula to make the burger sound fancy so they can charge over $25 for it The wings were $20 for 10. They were crispy, large, sticky, and amazing! 10 outta 10! Right amount of glaze and so pretty The Gaelic fries were yummy, the fry portioning was super generous, the seasoning was great, the fries were thick & not greasy. I asked for extra garlic. However they could have been better had there been Parmesan cheese graded over it. So I'll ask for that next time. Fries were 8 outta 10 The lobster/shrimp pasta was absolutely NASTY. If you are seafood/pasta lovers then do not waste your $38 on this soupy, spongy noodle, salty, not enough spinach, couple pieces of tiny mushroom having ass noodles the brown sauce they use it PURE SALT, these noodles taste like the Oriental Manchren Top Ramen noodles ....the picture shows big lobster claws on the pasta..mannnnn we got 1 arm as shown on the picture, and maybe 6 pieces of unseasoned shrimp. This location the water is HARD, so all their sodas and lemonades taste like a**! The music is loud inside, but it's a bar inside so I understand.

    Went to Pride to eat but ended up at Roadhouse downtown. Even though there were bigger parties…read morewaiting, being just the two of us, my best and I were seated right away. The waitress was helpful and diligent, and was very apologetic after it got busy when the other parties were seated, but we did not feel like we were waiting too long (4/5). The World Cup was playing and everyone inside was very excited about whoever was winning, it atmosphere was lively and friendly (4.5/5). We ordered the four cheese spinach dip, poke nachos, Cesar salad, and the margarita pizza. The spinach dip was decent (3.5/5), poke nachos were everything I could have wanted. Flavor explosion, wontons fried perfectly, savory, sweet, and spicy (4.8/5), the salad was basic but good (3/5), and then there was the pizza... the flavor was great but the pizza was not cooked all the way through. When you picked up a slice it just flopped down and could not hold shape. I didn't finish it, I brought it home and recooked it on a stone, that for me was a miss (2.75/5). Overall I give this place a 3.75/5!
