Walking into the bar and grill, you can see the many dollars tacked onto the ceiling and the nostalgic background behind the bar of days gone by, which usually plays host to local farmers, boaters, and tourists in the area. My sister and I decided to take a scenic drive along the Sacramento River and recalled our dad's stories of hanging out at Al's after a day of fishing the river and how the place really "hit the spot!" We pulled up and parked on the narrow little street and walked into this well-known place with the smell of garlic French bread wafting into the air and locals sitting at the bar. We were taken into a small back dining area and given the menu. I ordered the infamous steak sandwich, while my sister ordered the Al's burger, and my husband ordered the fish tacos. The plates were quickly brought out to us and were very generous portions. The steak sandwich was so tasty and big, I was only able to eat about a fourth of it along with the delicious onion rings that came with it. My husband demolished the 3 fish tacos and french fries, and my sister managed to eat about half of her burger. We will definitely be back.

My last time I was here many years ago, it was not a good experience. I was perusing the reviews…read moreand the menu, and I decided to go for a drive down the Delta, and give them another try. I hate to say it, but that was a mistake. Not the drive down the Delta, but stopping here.. As other people have mentioned, it's a cool space with lots of character. I Head into the dining room, and they were pretty busy. I was kind of surprised, as it was a Wednesday. If they are this busy at lunchtime on a Wednesday, I can imagine what they are like on the weekend. I waited a few minutes to sit down, and then finally I walked over and asked the server if I could just sit anywhere. She said yes, I could. She came over to my table to give me my menu, asked what I wanted to drink, and brought it right back. She said she would be right back to take my order, it was about 10 minutes. It only goes downhill from here.... So she comes and takes my order. I ordered an appetizer of the grilled bread with marmalade and peanut butter, and for my lunch, I ordered the spaghetti Bolognese. She said, "I will bring you your appetizer first." So I wait, and I wait, and I wait... As I mentioned, there was a good number of people in the dining room, and there were also people ordering food while sitting in the the barroom. . She was the only one serving, and it looked like there was only one, possibly two people cooking. 30 minutes in, I don't even have my appetizer yet. I waved her down and asked her, and she said it will be soon, there's still a few people ahead of me waiting for their food. As I was watching, I noticed that food was coming out of the kitchen pretty slowly. 45 minutes in... Still, not even an appetizer. I was going to wait a few more minutes, but then I noticed something. I was watching the server. She was not only bringing food, she was handling money I watched her scratch her head, wipe her face with her hand, and then she even scratched her behind, although through her shorts that she was wearing. They were jeans, shorts, and to me, they seemed pretty short for working in a restaurant That was enough for me, I left. I decided to go back home via the other side of the river. I crossed over, and almost immediately found a bar and grill, where I decided to stop for lunch. The service was stellar, and the food was amazing. The prices were also very good. Sorry, Al, I'm not going to wait for number three. Two strikes, and you're out.

I had a very unpleasant experience at a bar/restaurant across the river in Locke. I came across…read morethe river to head back to Sacramento, and found this place. I decided to stop for lunch. The place is very well done. Not a fancy place, but it does look a bit upscale. The bar looked very nice, and they have both indoor and patio seating. I'm seated right away, and my server brings me a menu. The menu is Chinese, but very high-quality Chinese. Off the specials menu, I decided to order the cherry pork. I also ordered a cup of egg drop soup, and some steamed rice to go with the pork. The soup comes very quickly. I love a good egg drop soup, and this was extremely good. The flavor was amazing. It had some tender chicken in it, it had a little bit of mushroom in it, and it also had small pieces of tofu. Tofu takes the flavor of what it is being cooked in, and that was definitely the case here She brings the cherry pork, and oh my God, the serving was huge. That was easily a shareable portion. The pork was crunchy, not over breaded,, and tender, and tasty on the inside. The cherry sauce was savory, and just a little bit sweet, and there were actually real cherries, big ones, in the sauce as well. The cherries were not overly sweet, and the flavor played extremely well with the rest of the Dish. The rice was done perfectly, and went well with the pork. I barely made it through half the Dish, and I had enough left over for two more meals. The price was a little bit on the high-end, but hey, this is the delta. Plus, for the quality, and especially the quantity of the food, it was definitely worth it. I want to come back. Thanks!

But we stopped here and had a nice little fulfilling breakfast. Got to know a couple of the residents that also work at this business Right before us becoming regulars.

They are definitely a place of entertainment and a place where friendships can be created. They do have a kitchen on site with the menu as well as a bar. Currently, I think they are open from Tuesday through Saturdays and closed on Sundays and Mondays. And I feel that changes throughout the seasons.

Since I use a service animal, I wanted to confirm that we would be accommodated. I couldn't find a confirmation in my emails, so I called the hotel. I was met with an AI "assistant" with no way to speak to a human. I tried for over a week to confirm our reservation through phone calls, email, and the contact form on their website, I kept being told that I would hear back in one business day if I had a reservation. Since I never heard, I assumed I had made a mistake, gave up, and booked a new room. Lo and behold I get a confirmation text from "Possibly Spam," and it's the confirmation from the Delta Queen for both my initial reservation AND the new one I had just made. If someone had just picked up the phone or responded to any of the emails, I would still have the $150 I am now out because I tried to do my due diligence. Because of how close it is to the date we need to be up there, we will still be staying. I hope that when we do check in we get to talk to an actual human, and I can plead my case for a refund.
