    Brussel sprouts
    Claire J.

    Stopped in before our flight for a quick meal, and they delivered! The Brussel sprouts are really good, served with chili crisp, peppers & sesame seeds. Loved the chili crisp & they were cooked well. Would've loved a char on them and maybe even the option of a honey drizzle .... Would elevate the dish wonderfully. But still happy with it :) The staff is really nice & they are very aware of people being on time crunches, so they are quick to get to you & quick to get you out if need be. My boyfriend had the burger, and gave it a 7/10 due to lack of sauce on it. They didn't have ranch available so that was a bummer. It was cooked well though, just needed a bit more flavor and/or sauce! Overall would definitely come back to try more.

    Stopped in to grab a bite as me and my sister were waiting for our flight to head home. The place is chill, average restaurant layout, and has good seating in the area. Unfortunately, this was not a great pick food wise. I got the grilled chicken sandwich and it was not what I thought it would be. Give me anything with bacon and avocado but this just didn't cut it. It was just dry and lacking flavor. The fries were decent but could've used a little more seasoning. I was shook when I asked our server for a side of bbq sauce and ranch and she said they do not have the following condiments as options. I was done after that! Sad to say the host and person who escorted us to our booth were dull, which lived up to other reviews regarding the service. I will say our waiter was a great addition to the visit as she was very nice, informative, and honest. Thank you Kristina! All in all, this wouldn't be my first pick for food, maybe I'll stop by next time for a drink instead.

    Steak and Eggs
    Valerie A.

    We had some time before our last trip at the airport and were pleasantly surprised with our breakfast at the Esquire Grille. It's not a super fast place and they did ask us at the beginning how long we had before our flight, so plan accordingly. We had a couple of hours so we were just fine. My husband had the steak and eggs and really enjoyed it. I had the avocado toast - it had so much flavor and the poached eggs were perfect. Our server was really friendly and fun and we had a great time chatting with her. It was one of the best airport meals I have probably ever had and we will definitely be back the next time we fly.

    For airport food it was good. It atleast looked nice and had decent taste. I enjoyed the banh mi sandwich. The mai tai was okay as well. Can't really knock on it. Food was atleast flavorful and I enjoyed it. Would I recommend? Not really. It's a step above other places. But not enough to recommend.

    Three cheese macaroni and cheese, Yum!

    The best food of many airports I've been to. Excellent service at the bar. I always stop here for libations and food. Very comfortable atmosphere. See you here!

    Shrimp Tacos
    Rufhiline T.

    What a great place to wait for boarding! We waited less than 10 minutes to be seated. The host was really good about checking in to see when our boarding was and gave us an estimated wait time! We were very happy that our food came out less than 30 minutes that we were told! Let me just say that the shrimp tacos were SOOOO GOOOD! I want to have some more! Add the avocado, I promise it makes it even better! We also got Niman Ranch Beef Burger--medium well and it was just right and solid burger overall! Highly recommend if you have at least an hour before boarding time! They were busy but people seemed to be having a great time at the bar and with their food! Cute area!

    The bar menu! We did not try any cocktails...

    Great place to grab a bite before or after you fly. Just make sure you give yourself plenty of time - it was approximately 45 minutes from the time we sat down, got our food, headed to the gate. Which was reasonable considering there were four of us and it was a busy morning at the airport. I had the two egg breakfast, scrambled with bacon and toast, my hubby had the avocado bacon omelette and our friend had the avocado toast with a poached egg on top. We were all very happy with our meals!

    Grilled chicken sandwich with fries
    Alex N.

    One of the only, or might actually be the only sit-in dining restaurant in the Sacramento airport terminal. Serves a selection of American food. Food: Limited set of appetizers, entrees and selection of burgers and sandwiches served with fries or salads Banh mi (with grilled marinated pork) - 4/5- pork was on the saltier side; love the Vietnamese style Grilled chicken sandwich -5/5- excellent tender chicken breast with the nice grilled char marks on an artisan brioche bun Cesar salad - 4/5 - there was an awkward lemon zest to it and the croutons were awkwardly large Fries - good size and portion Guava margarita - 3/5 - the tequila was really strong, I barely tasted any guava flavor at all Ambience: Modern contemporary clean and cozy vibe Service: No complaints

    Grilled Chicken Sandwich with Fries
    Martin T.

    My flight was delayed so I thought I'd try this spot in the airport. It was very busy so it seemed like a good spot to check out but the food was okay. For the quality, it seemed over priced but I understand it's in an airport prices might be higher than you average location. My grilled chicken sandwich was definitely the better of the two and was actually quite good. The fries were about what you'd expect. The Banh Mi sandwich was a bit salty and the Cesar salad had a lime flavor to it which was odd.

    mac & cheese

    Good food, service, opened late, it's our go to spot when we have a late flight. Sit, enjoy some food and drinks before the flight, sit as long as you want.

    Pre-flight drink with my dad's ashes
    B. Nutz H.

    I come here for all my pre-flight drinks. Most recent visit, Bryan was my server/bartender. It was early but a rather busy morning for him. I ordered the Guava margarita x 2 both were perfection. To also ensure I didn't get too intoxicated pre-flight I also got sourdough toast which took a while, but again they were busy. Because of how slammed they were at that time, there was a little bit of a wait so i had to slam my second drink to make the flight boarding time.

Waters came to the table in a timely manner. It didn't take long for the server to take our order, and it was a short wait for the food to arrive. She checked in with us a couple of times to make sure we were doing ok. I ordered the Western Burger with a side of fries and ranch. It was really good. Because it is a sports bar, I was expecting mediocre food, but they surprised me. The meat was juicy and they were generous with the toppings. The fries weren't too crispy or too soft--they were just right. My friends seemed to enjoy their meals as well. The place has a nice, relaxing vibe. There's a good amount of seating and the lighting is nice. There were about 12 other people in there when we showed up, and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Highly recommend checking this spot out.

I love the Chinese donut dipped in my BBH broth. I ordered the premium BBH, which contains ox tail, short rib, and rib eye. I was pleasantly surprised that the ox tail was really tender.

Our server was very affable and welcoming. The food came out almost instantly. I am already looking forward to my next visit!

So if you don't want pho, maybe try one of the other Saigon restaurants in the area. The premium pho was delicious, the short rib fell off the bone. And there was soooo much meat in the pho, really felt like a steal! The garlic noodles were delicious and buttery, and paired with crispy fresh chicken wings. We got 2 appetizers as well, the eggroll was not my favorite but the crispy beef roll wrapped in rice paper was amazing. The inside looks freshly renovated and definitely has an upscale vibe. Our waitress was the sweetest and answered all of our questions before ordering. We will definitely be back!

We will be coming here more often, especially if we have to fly out of Sacramento. It's a much better place to kill an hour with something to eat and drink instead of sitting in the crowded airport. And we intend to come back even without FLYING. They also have unique bakery items and some small gifts to procure. Needless to say we were impressed, the owner was very friendly and we even got a 10% veteran discount.
