    Found this restaurant in Old Town Sac because of a Tik Toker. Ambiance- This restaurant is definitely a Saloon. It's very narrow, but has 4 floors of all kinds of cool decorations and knick knacks in every nook & cranny. It is cool, western, creepy fun. The first floor is where the main bar is. That's where you order your drinks, water, soda, ect...separately. You order your food from the menu on the wall and pay and they take your name and call out your order. 2nd floor is where the restrooms are. It is a little creepy and I spent 60 hours on a train. Lol. 2nd floor has a narrow hallway with booths. 3rd floor has all the pinball machines and seating areas to eat. The basement has an Italian bistro vibe with red gingham tablecloths. I chose to eat on the 3rd floor with the pinball machines. Food- I ordered The Fannys finest which is an Angus beef burger on a brioche bun. Brioche bun- Perfectly toasted and buttery Patty- Delicious- cooked perfectly medium, seasoned well American cheese and toppings- yummy Onion Rings- Delicious and crunchy, that crunch and flavor was just top notch Ranch- Their ranch is housemaid with buttermilk. Their Bleu cheese is also house made. This ranch was the most delicious ranch I've ever eaten. Scary story- The server let me know that she was working downstairs when they were closed and saw a man in all orange. She got scared and ran upstairs, she later was told that old sac used to house prisoners. I love a good scary story!

    We were here on New Year's Day and they were open. Happy hour is till 8pm so there is a lot of time to score on happy hour. They also have 10% off on Kings game day. They have a single bar when you walk in. They have an additional bar downstairs, but I've never seen it open. The bar may be busy, but we've never had an issue with service. They are really good at seeing you and serving you. Food is ordered in the back at the grill and then they will call your name through their PA system when it's ready or if you're sitting at the bar they will bring it to you. This is a great place to eat on game day. As long as the game isn't on a Monday as they are closed on Monday's.

    Came here after years of hearing about it. Self-service counters for some delicious burgers and fries (try the peanut butter burger!). Place is a relic of old arcade style games and decor from the earlier 20th century. A good time with good food.

    Burgers are the best !!

    Good good!! Great service!! This bar has a historic vibe. There is a bar to order drinks. There is seating upstairs and downstairs a free video game you can play.

    Vibe and food is great, still doesnt beat my fav burger though Thunder humper: this is my fault, I thought maybe chili from a restaurant would be good but I think I just dont like any kind of chili. Not a fan of the flavor. Chili flavor. Also it says its an open burger on the menu but Im an idiot and still thought I could somehow eat it normally. No they give you knife and fork. Feels weird eating a burger like that. They give you the 2 halves of the top bun on the side. I really dont know how to eat this, I just chopped top bun and burger individually, stacked top bun on top and ate them together. Besides flavor, burger was pretty good texture and saucy. Idk how I feel about un melted cheese tho. Overall not a fan, get a normal burger Curly fries: you had the option to add chili, glad I didnt do that. Were high quality fries. Perfectly salted, remained nice crunchy texture throughout eating (I ate burger first and fries last). Little hard to stab through with fork. Tiny bits were extra hard. Fries Got cold quickly. Overall, solid fries Extra Its a bar A little stall in the corner where you order your food in person The cashier has a lot of personality and loves jokes After ordering, you can find a seat and they'll have a mic that calls your name (which they know from your debit/credit card Receipt is one of those non detailed ones that just tells you the total but not individual prices Water is from bar area, its free We had a group of 5 so when asking for 5 water, they just gave us 5 cups stacked and a pitcher full of water First floor has an nes with mario and donkey kong Second floor is tiny with 2 arcade Third floor had all the pinball machines and a foosball table!! (Pay to play foosball table, pay and they give you about 11 balls Super cramped space even with 3 floors Experience was 5/5, I was with friends Food overall was 4/5 which means its good but I personally dont crave to come back for it

    Bathroom doors are hella cool lol

    Fanny Ann's is a fun dive bar located in the heart of Old Sacramento. It's been around a very long time and they're well known for their chicken wings. The bar isn't huge but they have plenty of options for everyone at their disposal. There's an upstairs which holds the restrooms and video games like pinball and older arcade games. Hanging out here is fun, it's always a fun option to hit before Kings games. It's right next to the tunnel which leads to the arena. So before a Kings game or any event at Golden 1 center drop in and check it out.

    I was in town for Aftershock and I think I ate here every night after the concert. Pretty cool spot with affordable food options. I had burgers, wings, Grilled cheese on different nights. The place was absolutely packed, likely somewhat due to the festival. The service was good. The place is kind of small, but they have 3 stories you can eat on. Glad I remembered to snap a couple pictures.

    We had an amazing time. Drinks were great the guys were funny I love coming here on the weekends. The food is always great but even better when you are tipsy. The atmosphere is always banging fun and entertaining but sometimes you get rude customers but eh every place is like that. I'm Bobbie and I approve of this place.

    After walking around all day and having fun in Old Sacramento this was our last stop of the night .It was a Thursday night so glad they are open late . My friend and I were surprised how huge this place was !It has so many levels of floors . I believe it's 4 floors ? It's like a museum in there !! So many things to look at . One of the upstairs has a-lot of vintage arcade games and more seating tables . This place was cool lol . It's your typical bar noting fancy the staff was nice and attentive. We asked if we can order food the guy at the bar said kitchen was supposed to close already but that he would check if the cook was still cooking . He said yes to go ordered our food . Mack the chef (cook) was super nice we ordered our food with him . We where so thankful that he cooked for us instead of closing the kitchen early. Thanks !! That was great customer service .We took the food to go I got a burger and my friend got the grilled cheese with fries . For drinks there is no fancy drink menu . I let the bartender know I like Gin he said sweet or tart I said tart he made me a yummy Gin drink .The food and drinks are super affordable. My friend got a white claw . I really enjoyed all the decor and exploring the place . I definitely recommend checking this place out when in Old Sacramento very interesting and fun place .

    I have been coming to Fanny Ann's for over 20 years. In my younger days, my girlfriend's and I would come on Friday nights and drink and dance our little hearts out. I have fond memories of the bartender lining up BJ shots for us on the bar and us all clasping our hands behind our backs and having a go! I remember dates here scarfing down bar food in the booths in the basement and playing arcade games on the upper levels. Now, as a more mature wife and mother, it's a place where I can stop in and have a drink with friends and we can stroll down memory lane (that is if we can hear each other talk over the music!) This bar can be loud and squished and feel grimy but if you suspend judgement and give in to the atmosphere, you will most likely have a great time here.

    Do they have gluten free options? I don't see anything on the menu. Thanks

    I just checked their online menu and it doesn't mention gluten free options so I'd play it safe and not go, or contact them directly and ask.

    Do they have high chairs for babies?

    Hi Kristen, We do have 1 high chair as well as some booster seats. We hope to see you soon.

    My experience at Tower Cafe was awesome. I went by myself. My waitress was nice, she didnt bother…read moreme much, which i understand because it was packed. I got the Madame Cristo and Moroccan Fruit with Greek Yogurt. My beverage selection was a Iced Matcha and water but then I saw that some people were ordering a Dolce Latte and it looked appetizing, so I ordered that too and it was really good. My total came up to 57 dollars and some change. Oh and I started my Moroccan Fruit with Greek Yogurt first and realized I didnt take a picture. So I stopped, fixed it up and snap one for all to see...lol. I love the vibe in there, it definitely gives off Hippie Vibes but thats expected in Sacramento. As I was waiting for my food, I was people-watching (like usual) and I saw a staff give food to a homeless man. I thought that was very beautiful. A little kindness goes a long way...you know. You have the choice of outside seating or indoors. The outside seating area is beautiful, there's a water fountain nearby with some benches for people to sit and hang out. And the area has some nice shade. Which is awesome because I cannot imagine people wanting to sit in the sun and eat. I see some reviews on here stating that it is impossible to order anything from their menu because the selections were too much. Or the variety of food selections on the menu was too much. Well..I say that they are wrong. Their menu caters to Hispanic and American food. YES, they have burgers on the menu. Yes, they have enchiladas and Salads and Soups if you dont feel like eating anything heavy, they have a lighter selection for you as well. And for my VEGANS out there...Tower Cafe also has some great selections for you as well. Please understand if you can't figure what you want to eat, honey its not the menu's fault. Thank You Toodles

    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.
