Overall? Tight menu, but they execute. The space works with a mix of indoor and outdoor seating that feels easy and comfortable. Ingredient selection is thoughtful, and the meat quality stands out right away. This is a place that knows its lane and stays in it. I'd come back without hesitation Parking? Street and lot options. Can get busy We had: Good Neighbor Chop Salad (5/5): This was what a composed salad should be. It ate like a real dish, not a side project. Creamy avocado, sweet dates, tangy goat cheese, and a pear vinaigrette brought everything together without drowning it. The cornbread croutons stole the show. Crisp, buttery, and loaded with flavor, they added the texture most salads are missing. The meat was cooked properly and gave that subtle reminder this place understands BBQ Steak Frites (5/5): Straightforward, done right. The hanger steak was cooked with precision, with a proper sear and clean beef flavor that didn't need to hide behind sauce. You could tell they respected the product. The peppercorn sauce supported without taking over, and the fries were crisp with just enough softness inside to keep things balanced. It was simple food executed at a high level, which is exactly why it worked read more

Stopped in for lunch today and really enjoyed it. The burger hit the spot and they absolutely loaded up the fries.. definitely got your money's worth there. The whole place had a warm, welcoming vibe from the moment we walked in. Service was friendly without being overbearing, which honestly made the experience even better. Also noticed they have a really nice bar setup and patio seating that looked like a great spot to hang out later in the day. Would definitely come back. read more

Happy hour ends at 5 so we missed that. Mushroom pizza had good flavor but the texture was very floppy. The fritto misto had great texture and batter but exemplified interesting decision making in what to fry. We found onion skins, olives, shrimps, and calamari all jumbled and stuck together like they were clumped together in the fryer. Made for an interesting grab bag. I would say overall the food is good but the prices do not reflect just good food. The service was decent. Everyone was polite and attentive. The ambiance inside was great! Nice decor and good vibes. We sat outside on the patio which had nice bench seating and good for people watching. read more

I was hesitant to go here as I had had a lukewarm experience with beast and bounty, but had heard good things from bartender friends. The bartenders were accommodating, well-versed in cocktails, and the ambience was lovely. Would definitely go back for drinks. Should probably try the food while I am at it. read more

We happened to be in the neighbor and decided to try Good Neighbor. It was delicious we started with the spinach artichoke dip came with focaccia toasted bread and the English Pea Arancini OMG I had never had Arancini it was so delicious!!!! We shared the 1/2 pound award winning cheeseburger with fries, and a spring chopped salad with grilled chicken. Our server was great and helpful in helping us to decide on our selections. The music playing was great Old School. The place was clean. Bathrooms are clean. Parking was a bit of a bear but we managed to find a spot in a parking lot next to it. We paid for 2 hours and it came out to $6.35. Would I return most definitely! It was well worth it. Next time maybe we can also try a dessert. We were just to full. read more

I've been so excited to visit Good Neighbor, I've been keeping track of their instagram posts and everything has looked so delicious. This area is always very busy and finding parking can be hit or miss, but if you loop around or head onto some of the side streets you should be able to find something (usually paid parking) within walking distance. When I arrived on a Friday evening there was an hour wait for a table for two, we took a short walk over to Midtown Spirits for a drink while we waited for a text to let us know our table was ready. The texting system they have set up makes it really convenient, especially if you don't want to wait right in front of the restaurant. We ended up with a cute table for two and noticed they have blocks on the table to alert the team if you need service or the check- no one mentioned them as we were seated, so we weren't sure if we'd need to use them from the start or not. We ended up chatting and eventually a server came to introduce themself and take our drink orders. They were pretty busy, so service was on the slower side. We could tell they were hustling and weren't sure if pressing our table button would slow them down or if it's what they preferred. We ended up waiting patiently and when our drinks came we were able to order food. Our main courses took quite some time, we thought they may have forgotten us. We stayed patient though and right before we were going to check in they were brought out to us. We ended up having the English Pea Arancini ($12) as an appetizer, with three pieces they were a perfect starter and were very flavorful. I ordered the Good Burger ($22) it's a 1/2lb burger that has cheddar, pickles, lettuce, onions, sauce and a generous portion of tallow fries. The burger was tasty and I liked that the onions were grilled. It had house made pickles that were more tangy. I ended up taking half of the burger and most of the fries home because it was pretty filling. Although the fries would be perfect for sharing with dining companions and are best fresh. The person I was with ordered the Hanger Steak Salad ($34) and it was beautifully plated and perfectly cooked to her requested medium rare. The portion was also generous and she ended up having leftovers. We utilized the signal box on our table to let our server know when we were ready to pay and boxed up leftovers. I would definitely go back, but would try to plan for a slower night or time. read more

I really wanted to like this restaurant but was so disappointed. Best thing of the night was probably my drink. I got the refresh and it was delicious! My friends ordered different Italian sodas and weren't a fan- they weren't expecting how sweet and creamy they would be. Went with my friends for a girls night so we ordered a variety of dishes- sadly all of them were missing salt and missed the mark other than the pasta (ragú). The fritto misto- such high hopes. Loved the lemon and the crispy tempura coating but needed to add our own salt because it was sort of flavorless. The aioli it came with was good. The fries- sad fries that were probably sitting for a while. Skip. Cesar salad and the good neighbor chop- the lettuce seemed out of a bag for some reason and once again, both needed more flavor. Love the idea of the chop and it could probably be delicious but missed the mark. Ragú pasta- yes. Order this. Delicious. Good portion. Flavortown. Service- we felt we were being rushed the whole time. Our server kept asking if we were done and offering boxes and wanting to take our plates away even though we were still eating and drinking. This was almost from the start. We noticed there were plenty of tables open and we weren't then for longer than an hour. Really disappointed. Overall- beautiful location. read more

My family and I checked out Good Neighbor last night for dinner which is located in The Ice Blocks where Beast and Bounty used to be. The interior was beautiful - yellows, blues and greens that set the mood and the gorgeous bar was the focal point of the whole restaurant. For drinks, we ordered the Good Neighbor Old Fashioned, Freezer Martini and the Lemonade. My husband liked the Old Fashioned and said it was different in a good way, the Freezer Martini was just okay and the Lemonade was the sourest thing I've ever had in my life - it was straight lemon juice and water - we had to ask from them to sweeten it up twice just so that my daughter could actually enjoy it. For food, my daughter ordered the Kids Cheese Pizza and we started with Grandma's Meatballs. My daughter liked her pizza and we thought the meatballs were good - they had a nice flavor, but were nothing special. For our entree, my husband and I ordered the Steak Frites to share - while the plate looked beautiful, the plate didn't actually hit. The steak was tough because it was sliced across the grain (IYKYK) and it was also cooked medium rare, which is fine, but we were never asked how we wanted it cooked. The sauce on the plate was also very salty - it was too much for my husband and while the fries were fresh (I think) and cooked in beef talon, they weren't anything special either. Overall, I am giving them 4 stars because the service was spot on - shout out to Brenda who took great care of us! Based off of the food, I don't think we'll come back - maybe for drinks though if we're in the area. read more

Excellent menu with diverse options. Really great service by people who genuinely try to go above and beyond. Had a nice Thursday evening dinner here with the fam. We ordered a pizza, salad, a burger and even an appetizer. All our food was delicious. The standout here was their pizza and also the mushroom arancini. Sitting on the patio made for a beautiful evening. They played old school R&B music at a level that was really smooth. Didn't try any alcohol but their drinks menu was appealing. Highly recommend trying out this Ice Blocks standout. read more

5 stars. We stopped into Good Neighbor on a whim and were so glad we did. We started with a beer and a Hugo Spritz, then ordered the fennel sausage pizza and the steak frites cooked medium rare. Everything was excellent--the steak was cooked perfectly, the fries were some of the best we've had, and the sauce was fantastic. Our bartender was wonderful and took great care of us. Great food, great drinks, and a really welcoming ambiance. We'll definitely be back. read more

Nice and trendy restaurant, visited for brunch. It was nice that they gave you an option to sit indoor or out, we chose indoor. Quick service, and they have a button where you can switch a light to service and pay. We ordered their Caesar salad, tallow fries, breakfast pizza, and their cinnamon roll waffle. Our favorite was the waffle. I personally couldn't taste the tallow in their tallow fries, and I wished their breakfast pizza had a standard of adding eggs to it instead of it being extra. Food was good, but not out of this world. If within the area, definitely would like that waffle again. read more

Great food and drink spot with both inside and outside seating options! Drink menu had a lot of options, all priced very reasonably. The food options were also great. Steak frites: 3/5 They recommended medium, but it came more like rare. Too rare for my liking but the sauce and fries were great. Burger: 4/5 Solid burger with good quality meat, was expecting more of a charcoal taste. Pizza: 4/5 Great pizza with good crust and great quality ingredients. Salad: 5/5 We loved the salad! The cornbread croutons were awesome and it was overall a well balanced salad. The service was excellent even while sitting outside. They have a fun cube to get the waiter attention and ask for the bill remotely. Overall, a great experience and will definitely come back with friends! read more

My friends came here for dinner on Friday evening. We got there around 5:20pm and luckily there was no wait. We were immediately seated. The ambiance is nice but quite dim with high ceilings. Open kitchen so you will smell if you are seated next to the kitchen. Our server was Amy. Amy gave us plenty of time to look through the menu and even told us their daily special. She did not rush us. We decided on different dishes to try. Crispy Roasted Chicken: Chicken was really tender. Needed a bit more flavor. Roasted fingerlings were a bit underdone especially the larger pieces. Mushroom Arancini: It was delicious! Usually comes with 3 but we paid $4 for an extra piece. Grandma's Meatballs: Standard meatballs. Nothing special. Usually comes with 3 but we paid $4 for an extra piece. Fritto Misto: It was good but the seasoning was a bit too salty. Interesting that it includes tempura lemon slices. Classic Pepperoni Pizza: Loved the smoky taste from the wood fire. Other than that, just a standard pizza. Steak Frites: It was good. Very meaty. The sauce was really good. Grilled Broccolini: Broccolini was grilled and seasoned perfectly. One of my favorites from the night. Not all the food was perfect but our server was awesome. She was very attentive and friendly. There is a service cube on each table. There is a button to press for service and another button to press to pay. Even without using the cube, our server still came by to check in on us from time to time. Parking can be limited as it is located on the ICE block. read more

Heads up: on the weekends there is a menu/food change between 3-4pm so our options to pick from were limited. The drinks, salad and fries were really good! I recommend all four. Unfortunately, our pizza was not well done as seen in other pictures. I would not recommend getting the pizza. read more

I came here to catch up with some friends and have some lunch. We came here when they opened for the day. I think parking can be challenging at busy times of the day. The street parking near the area can get full because of all the other shops and restaurants around the area. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich. It was very good. The bread was soft. It wasn't hard to eat. I just hate it when you bite into a roll, and it is hard to chew off. The chicken breast was cooked well. The chicken was juicy and had good taste to it. I tried the cheese pizza, too. It was ok. Nothing special about it. Service, well, not that good. Our server was not present. They do have this cube to call for service. That didn't help either. I can understand if the place was busy, the tables were filled, but there was only one other table besides us. She did not come around when we pressed the cube for help. It took her some time. I thought the food was pretty good. Service not so great. If I come here again and hopefully it will be a different server. read more

If you're looking for a place that feels like your favorite neighborhood hangout and delivers on food and vibes, Good Neighbor by Urban Roots on R Street is a must-visit in Sacramento. We shared a bunch of plates -- everything from the wood-fired pizzas to the spinach artichoke dip and the chopped Cobb salad-- and each one was tasty in its own way. The pizzas had this great char and chewy crust, and the spinach artichoke dip was the perfect combo of cheesy, gooey and savory. And let me tell you about the pear vinaigrette on that chopped salad... to die for! What really made the night, though, was the service. Our server was friendly, checked in at the right moments, and genuinely seemed excited to make sure we were having a good time -- which made the whole experience feel effortless and fun. I would highly recommend checking them out for a cute and fun girls night or a more intimate date night! We even went after a workout... good neighbor truly covers all bases! read more

We have been a couple times! Each time has been great. The service is quick and attentive. We had a large party of 6 and were sat quickly with a reservation. The pizza was great! I wasn't able to get a picture before it was eaten. However, I did get a picture of the seasonal item we ordered, braised short rib! Wish it was there all year, because it was great! We will return read more

Paid my first visit to Good Neighbor for a work lunch and it was wonderful! The space is just gorgeous with its high ceilings and airy feel. Loved the open kitchen and the nice bar area. We were greeted warmly and seated right away. Andrew provided excellent service and was very helpful answering all of this first-timer's questions. We ended up going with the fritto misto as a shared starter and they were kind enough to not include fennel, as it usually comes with it but neither of us are fans. Let me tell you, this very well may be the best fritto misto I've ever had in my life! Loved the light, crispy batter and the nice variety of items including leeks, olives, thinly sliced lemon in addition to the plump shrimp and yummy calamari. The lemony aioli was outstanding, as well. Just. So. Good! He went with the steak sandwich and I opted for the Caesar salad with added chicken. Everything was delicious! Washed down with some freshly brewed iced tea with lemon and simple syrup and I left a very happy, fully satisfied customer. I look forward to returning, hopefully sooner than later! read more

I went here with my husband on a random Thursday afternoon for lunch/dinner. We ordered for drinks the fable of bees and the milk punch. Both were delicious. FOB smells like orange juice and was more ginger forwards than j would like (my husband liked it more). MP I thought was way better. It was more refreshing. They had a special that day which was the pickle pizza - IT WAS AMAZING! Perfect balance of sweet and salty and crust was pretty good. We also got the salmon and the burger entree for dinner (we arrived like 3:45 so they were already serving the dinner menu). Salmon was cooked really well done and the burger was pretty standard but still good per my husband. Service was pretty fast and everyone was super friendly. The inside wasn't packed but there is also a patio/outdoor space if you would prefer. I'd come back again to try other items or the brunch :) read more

I came here with some friends for breakfast. I didn't see that they took reservations so we showed up about 15 minutes after they opened. There is street parking and there is a parking lot just two buildings down from the place. The spats are a little tight. when walking out we saw a car almost hit another parked car. When we entered there were a few tables taken but we were seated right away. They asked if we wanted a high top or lower seating. We went for the latter since my wife didn't want her feet dangling. and I don't really like the high tops. The place had a large bar since it did take over from the old Beast and Bounty. We sat in the area across from the kitchen. There is a wall separating that are from the bar area. We were first to arrive and then a few minutes later our friends came to meet us. It seemed like a while before the server came over and introduced herself. It wasn't that busy but it did seem like she wasn't very attentive. My wife pointed to a light cube in the middle of our table. It had a service button and a pay button. I was kind of disappointed that I had to call a server over using a call box. I didn't use it till I had to keep asking for refills on my iced tea. We were finally able to order our food. I got the salmon sandwich and it was pretty good. The salmon was cooked perfect and the bread was really fresh. My wife got the chicken sandwich and she enjoyed it too. I also got a trio cheese pizza. There was only one size and when it came out it was a personal sized pizza. It was just ok nothing special, kind of funny after taste. Our friends got the peperoni pizza and seemed to like it. my wife's friend got the salad and was disappointed. It was like you went to the grocery store and bought a package salad and opened the bag, served it to you. She didn't really like it and definitely not for the price. I liked the look of the place but they didn't seem to add too much to the old place. We had a nice visit with our friends so I might try it again sometime. Hopefully the service is better. read more

Love coming to Good Neughbor for a drink and dinner! Haven't sat at a table because I personally love the service at the bar. The bar has great selections for a classic drink or even a specialty cocktail. There's also a great wine selection. The shareable menu is delicious! We had the artichoke and spinach dip. Focaccia....11/10! The Caesar is such a classic with the sardines. Love the crunch with the radicchio. I've had the pizza in the past and having it wood oven baked makes a huge difference! Feels and tastes very upscale. The steak frites are honestly my go-to when coming here! Tried the mussels and the chorizo was such a great compliment. Wish there was more broth but would definitely have again. read more

You just can go wrong with a good vibe, good people, good food and great service. Hubby brought home a salmon sando a few weeks ago and I can never get over it. That's all I want! So after a medical procedure I was starving this was the first place I wanted to go. We arrived and were seated thoughtfully, being the sun moves the host was strategic about where to seat us. Of course when I actually sat and looked at the menu I ended up ordering Grilled chicken sando 5/5 juicy flavorful. Large enough for 2. Cesar salad- fresh, perfect about of dressing( they top with anchovies but you have the option to omit) Mushroom arancini- 5/5 nom nom I like the taste of a good mushroom. This was just up my alley. I could have used more parm but that's preference. The taste was there and they actually we filling We split everything and I was full and had food to take home. read more

I stopped by for lunch after having previously visited for dinner. - mushroom arancini: excellent. Very tasty. The lemon aioli paired nicely and served as a nice counterpoint. Quite possibly the best thing I've eaten here. You only get 3 small balls though. - burger and fries: the burger was good with one glaring problem. The bun. It was cold (not room temperature, but cold). And dry and somewhat dense. The bun kinda ruined this dish. - grilled hanger steak sandwich: the steak had a nice smokiness to it. I wish the steak had more seasoning on it though. Or that they added more chimichurri or something as it ate a touch bland. Not bad though. More enjoyable than the burger. - Blush cocktail: excellent. On the sweet side but still balanced. You still taste the alcohol up front but without the bitter aftertaste. Good stuff. They were pretty busy for Saturday lunch. We had to wait a few minutes to get seated around 1:15p but the server was very nice and mentioned they were short staffed. Unfortunately, the timing of our order was off as well. The fries on our burger plate came out nice and hot while the fries on the steak sandwich plate were cold, which tells me the steak sandwich plate had been sitting for some time while they were working on the burger. Overall, while i think the cocktails are great and the beer is solid (this place is by the Urban Roots people so that's all the beer they serve), the food quality doesn't quite match the price. The quality of the food just doesn't match the fairly premium pricing. read more

Great addition to midtown restaurants and the ice blocks! It's in the building where Beast & Bounty used to be (RIP). It was busy on a Friday night! We waited for about 45 minutes for two. The bar was crowded but we were still able to get drinks while we waited. The outdoor seating has heaters and blankets right now because of the cold weather, but we opted to wait for a table indoors. The service was great from the bartenders and the server after we got seated! The service cubes on the table allow you to alert your server when you need something, but they were good about checking in so it wasn't needed. Nice touch though! The drinks were great! The food was good, although my steak frites was on the edge of too salty for me. The chef special, braised short rib, was delicious. We also got a slice of basque cheesecake from "Side Hustle" which is kind of like their satellite dessert place?! It was very tasty! we will definitely be back. Glad to see that they're having such a great turnout at the new restaurant so far! read more

I've been here twice and I prefer their lunch options over dinner. Good Neighbor took over Beast & Bounty and is one of Urban Roots' newer restaurants. I enjoy the atmosphere, though it can feel pretty tight during peak hours and busy, especially around the holidays or during special occasions. There is outdoor seating as wel. LUNCH Apple Walnut Salad - 5/5 Really good. A great balance of vinaigrette, walnuts, apples, and pickled cherries. Wild Mushroom Pizza - 3.8/5 Served hot and fresh, but a bit too cheesy for my preference. Grilled Chicken Sandwich - 4/5 Light, satisfying, and a good lunch option. DINNER Pavé Fries - 5/5 A hit with the kids. Light, airy, and very enjoyable. Candied Carrots - 3.8/5 I wanted to like this more, but it was just okay. Fritto Misto - 4/5 Tempura Seafood - a mix of calamari and shrimp that was lightly battered and paired well with the lemon aioli. The battered olives weren't my favorite though. Steak Frites - 4.5/5 Enjoyable and was shared. The steak was cooked medium, tender, and juicy. I liked the sauce, though my kid found it a bit sweet. The fries were slightly salty. Classic Pepperoni Pizza - 5/5 My kids demolished this and gave it a thumbs up. DRINKS Melon & Peach Italian Soda - 5/5 So good and refreshing. Recover - 5/5 Very refreshing Milk Punch - 3.8/5 Good overall, but a bit too sweet for me and I couldn't really taste the alcohol. Freezer Martini - 5/5 This wasn't on the menu and I got this for the gram to be honest. I like martini dry and this was strong. Overall, a good experience both visits and a great spot for casual dining with family or friends. read more

A new restaurant joins Urban Roots family! Being a big fan of their beer and Neapolitan pizza, it was obvious Good Neighbor was a match made in heaven. Glad to say that it lived up to my lofty expectations. Located right next to Philz in the heart of midtown R corridor, the building is a combination of rustic and modern. There are several tables outside, but we opted for indoor seating on an unusually hot mid-March day. The fod menu is simple: pizzas from the huge wood-fired oven, burgers, salads... but they also offer fancier casual dishes such as steak frittes, or mussels and chorizo. We started with meatballs and pavé fries for appetizers. The meatballs were made with good quality beef and tomato sauce was balanced and not too acidic like with some places. However, the pavé was the star of the show...melt in your mouth soft, layer upon layer with crispy outside. Do yourself a favor and try those. For the main we shared a pepperoni pizza and steak frittes. I would not call their pizza crust typical Neapolitan, but more of Neapolitan-inspired. It was very good. The steak frittes did not dissapoint either. This is a simple dish, and good quality hanger steak cooked to temperature should not be hard to mess up. But a lot of places somehow still manage. Not Good Neighbor. As far as drink options go there is a selection of core Urban Roots beers, with rotating IPA options. Despite the Urban Roots affiliation, the drink focus seems to be more on the coctails, which is fine. I also noticed their eclectic wine list, with wines from countries such as Croatia, Slovenia, or Hungary that are not normally found on wine cards at similar establishments. The service was pleasant and the little device placed on each table that you can press for service is a nice touch and saves time for both guests and service. Though the price point is not everyday afordable, it is a nice spot for a casual outing or even a date. We'll be back. read more

Like a Good Neighbor... good food abounds! Urban Roots has created another winner. One of my gal pals met me here for an early weekday lunch, for a catch up sess. Perfection! We were greeted by a friendly seating host who offered us which ever comfy seat and table that we wanted. Water and menus were probably brought to the table. We perused the menu and decided that we were going to enjoy a shareable together. We opted for the fritto misto. It's essentially a combination of shrimp, calamari, and some other goodness. The dish overall is absolutely shareable, and we both enjoyed it. We added a side of their house bread. The dish has several pieces of large shrimp, olives, calamari, lemon slices, leek leaves, etc. All lightly fried and lightly seasoned. A side of dipping sauce accompanies it. The shrimp was absolutely tasty, and I loved the lightly fried olives. It was a nice touch. The calamari was rather sparse and neither one of us really cared for the fried lemon slices. It just was not enjoyable to eat. I much prefer fresh lemon to squeeze over seafood. The dipping sauce was rather bland and did not offer anything to the dish. The bread is made in house. It was served warm and has a lightly crispy crust, and a soft center. We both enjoyed the dipping oil which had a very light garlic flavor to it. I would've loved something a little bit stronger. Service was pretty quick, and our server was pretty friendly. They've been open a month and are probably still settling into their rhythm. Located across from the ice blocks off of R street in downtown Sacramento. Parking is easy to find for the most part but it definitely is not free. Definitely worth exploring and I plan on going back during the weekend for brunch to see what the breakfast vibe is like. read more

Roses are red, Cooking's a labor, If you want great food without the work, Go to Good Neighbor ! I came here for lunch on a weekday, and it wasn't too busy. The only downside was that the smell of the restaurant really stuck to my clothes, so I went back to work smelling like the restaurant/kitchen. Not a bad thing at all, but just something to note. For that, I'd probably come back for dinner rather than lunch or breakfast. The food was flavorful and filling! I chose the broccolini with my sandwich instead of fries and was surprised by how good it tasted. It was beautifully plated. I recommend ordering the bread with the balsamic and olive oil drizzle as an appetizer. It's fluffy and soft on the inside, with the perfect amount of seasoning on top! Everything was plated so cleanly and prettily, perfect for photos. I also love the little service button you can tap when you want to call the waiter. What a modern little touch! The ambience inside is really cute and thoughtfully designed. I'd love to come back for dinner with coworkers and try more of the entrees (especially the pizzas). Thanks Good Neighbor ! read more

We had an amazing dinner on Friday night. For a Friday at 7:15 we only waited less than 15 minutes and were able to get a drink at the bar. Super nice bartenders and good selection of cocktails. Once seated we were greeted and were able to put our apps in immediately. Kind of weird concept with the small boxes on the table to get service. The burger was cooked to the perfect temperature and the potato fries were crazy! Everything down to the bathrooms were spotless. Highly recommend read more

Welcome to the ice blocks Good Neighbor! Living literally so close I had to come check this spot out! They just opened on Wednesday! They are in the spot where Beast & Bounty used to be.. RIP! I came in the door on the side entrance closest to the road.. I was trying to get a seat at the bar since I was coming alone but all the spots were taken! No worries though- someone greeted me and showed me an open table next to the bar! My server was very nice and I'm sad I didn't get her name! The resultant has a really nice ambiance and vibe to it! They did a great job! I started off with water and the Pepino cocktail a refreshing cucumber tequila drink! Very good! For food I got the spinach artichoke dip with homemade fresh focaccia. Soooo good! Literally it was amazing! For my entree I got the pasta bolognese! This was hearty and great! I didn't finish either dishes but took the leftovers home! The pasta had so much flavor and was so filling! I think the star of the show was spinach atchoke dip! That was amazing! My server disappeared in the middle of my dinner which was a little sad/ odd! I had to ask someone to please bring me a box and the check! I got to meet a guy named Chris not sure if he's a manager or owner but he was very nice! Not sure what happened to my server but I would have loved to get her name and say thank you!!! Good Neighbor is brought to us by the owners of BAWK and Urban Roots! Not a fan of BAWK but I love Urban Roots! Come check this place out-- it's a vibe! I would recommend making a reservation if you are coming with a group! Parking- you can park in the lot and pay in the ice blocks or street parking! Or if you live in midtown like me, just walk! I will deff come back! I believe this will be a great addition to Sac! read more

I tried Good Neighbor for dinner and loved it! Upon arrival, there was about a 20 minute wait on a Monday night so I sat at the bar with my friend as we waited. I had a glass of Domaine Brazilier rosé, which was crisp and refreshing. When our table was ready, my friend and I shared the mushroom arancini, which were perfectly crispy, flavorful, and full of mushrooms. I ordered the mussels and chorizo entree which was delicious, especially with their amazing fries. My friend really enjoyed the steak frites. This place had great food, friendly service, and a cozy neighborhood vibe! read more

We stopped into Good Neighbor around 12:30pm and were immediately impressed by how beautiful the space is. The interior design is stunning .. exposed brick, warm lighting, and huge windows that flood the room with natural light. The blue velvet booths paired with burnt-orange paneling give it a cozy yet modern feel, and the plants and small family-style photo wall add a thoughtful, homey touch. It was busy when we arrived, but the energy was upbeat and welcoming. Each table has a pay/service cube that makes it easy to get your server's attention - a small convenience but super helpful during the lunch rush. There's both indoor and outdoor seating, and once the weather warms up, their patio will be a fantastic spot to hang out. We ordered the pepperoni pizza, and it was absolutely delicious .. wood-fired flavor, cupped pepperoni, perfectly crisp edges, and gooey cheese. Can't wait to come back and dive deeper into the menu. The spinach & artichoke dip, steak frites, and apple-walnut salad are next on our list. A bonus: Good Neighbor's sister spot, Side Hustle, is right next door, and you can order their boozy smoothies, shakes, and Liege waffles to enjoy inside Good Neighbor. Such a fun (and dangerous!) combo. You can also go to just Side Hustle. I love this concept! read more

Good Neighbor has quickly become my new favorite haunt. It's great for brunch, lunch or dinner. The food has always been consistent as well as delicious and the service is just as solid. I love the aesthetic both inside and out, it's a perfect balance of bright yet moody. I just love a joint where I can feel comfortable dressed up or down and GN definitely checks that box, come as you are! Noteworthy eats and drink, the biscuits and gravy are to die for as is the avocado toast. You can't go wrong with the grilled hanger steak sando and the pizza with house-made fennel sausage always hits the spot. Do yourself a favor and order a freezer martini or the GN Old Fashioned. Oh, and we've never once skipped the Pave fries along with the grilled artichokes with crispy Parmesan to share with the table! read more
