    10/15/2025. Came here for dinner. Everything is light up inside and super cute, 1950s retro dinner with old retro music boxes all over. The menu is huge but I wanted a burger and was recommended by the server. San Francisco Melburger San Francisco melburger ($16.49). Was an excellent recommendation. The patty was super juicy and paired well with the ingredients and dressing. The bread wasn't hard to bite through. The fries were coated and fried. Nice and crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Worth the try. It was also super big and I ended up taking half home. Classic shake vanilla ($7.49). One word. Delicious. Burger and shake is one of the best paring. Besides soft drink. Overall. Super cute and delicious experience. Can't wait to come back again.

    Came here for a last minute bday celebration and we had a good time. We were a party of 7 & our waitress was amazing. She was super sweet and her service was impeccable. We really enjoy the food as well, their burgers are always so juicy and flavorful. Even the kids items we got, super yummy. Overall this restaurant is good for large groups, the staff is very friendly, and the food is good. Period.

    1st time here and I was not disappointed. Staff is friendly and welcoming restaurant has an old time atmosphere. Food was brought out quickly and fresh. Eggs cooked well, potatoes seasoned, pancakes delicious and nice size portions. No complaints about anything!

    This place has a great feel to it. The classic americana artwork and music is a wonderful welcome, but I highly recommend the breakfast burrito, or even better? The breakfast sandwich with country sausage... I have course cannot eat hashbrowns but I will tell you this much, the cottage cheese sits just as well. The service was incredible and, very friendly. Our coffee cups were constantly full and we were checked on at least once every five minutes flavor was amazing. The value was beautiful..

They served the sandwich with the grilled, chicken breast, bacon, and BBQ sauce with the lettuce, tomatoes, and onions on the side. I'm not a fan of onions, so I did not have those, but it was nice to have the lettuce and the tomatoes have that nice taste when it hasn't been smothered in BBQ sauce or others as it's being cooked by the chicken like other places prepare them. I honestly left satisfied. This place really did live up to the recommendations and reputation it has. Our gym, Positive Impact Fitness always talks about this place and it was really worth it. I shall return in due time.

My son kept pointing out the decorations and really got a kick out of the theme while we waited for our food. He ordered a huge pancake which definitely lived up to the name. I went with the Cajun omelette and my brother ordered the Riverboat omelette. The portions were generous and everything came out hot. I did feel the dishes were a little light on salt, but the flavors were still good and the amount of food you get makes it a great value. We also tried the fried green tomatoes which were a nice addition to the meal. Overall it was a solid breakfast and I would happily come back again.

I had asked one of their excellent staff members to see if she was ok -- she had been in there for some time. She WAS OK. l finally went into the room (10 minutes later) to check on her myself. Between the time of the first check & "now", she HAD fallen on the semi-wet floor & couldn't get up by herself. My wife has Parkinson's disease . I helped her up but we had to leave immediately for the Emergency Room - she had broken something in her arm! After casting her wrist (& having x-rays of her head, neck wrist, & arm), we drove home. The next day, Wednesday, January 21st, I talked with another friend at Huckelberries while I was picking up an Arnold Palmer for my wife, I jokingly said that we should sue the establishment. After a couple of laughs, I reiterated that this was just a joke. She shared this information with Dominic, her manager. Dominic immediately texted me saying we could no longer eat there. Also if ANYONE working there talked with myself or my wife, they would be fired immediately! I shared with him that I had been joking & I stated that we would not do anything more. I was just JOKING. (A lousy Joke, I realize now, but a joke nonetheless.) During our limited back & forth "talking", NOT ONCE DID HE ASK HOW MY WIFE WAS!! Not Once! I feel that this was something that anyone, especially with a business background, should/would ask. But not Dominic. Therefore, I feel that this business, this MANAGER, receives the very lowest of ratings from me.

As for the food, there was only one plant-based (vegan friendly) option for me: the cilantro lime avocado toast. This came topped with micro greens and pickled onions, and with a side of potatoes. The portions were very generous for the price and the food was delicious. The food came out in a reasonable amount of time and the staff were kind. I also ordered an Americano that was good. This spot is like a little hidden green jewel in Citrus Heights. I hope more businesses fill out this complex so they can continue to do well.
