New spot we went to try, at a glance I loved the vibe. Low key and friendly. The bartender was attentive and welcoming, everyone at the bar was conversing. There's tv's for you sports fans and a big one in the rear near the couch set up. Drinks were good, we ordered food. The food service wait was relatively short. The Nitrous Nacho's w/Steak & SpamBlt... Pricing is affordable & people seem to really care as the food portions are nice, my friend loved his SpamLT.... Lots of lettus, tomatoe & over all crispy spam, that was a hit...The Nachos were Amazingly! Loads of cheese, Steak, Salsa, we even had enough to take home afterwards! Lots of food to conquer here! Can't wait to return to try out more of there tasty bites! We are definitely NEW FANS! ! Midtown located, clean and parking available on and around J st. Great vibes, Good Eats! Thank you! We will be returning! read more

I've ordered here in the past and the steak fries were the perfect snack. Not sure what happened today but my food was swimming in oil. The presentation wasn't the same, looked very rushed, and the seasoning was off. Please bring back the original chef. read more

WHY WE WENT HERE: - dinner THE LOOK (FROM THE OUTSIDE): - located on J St in between 17th St and 18th St - street parking available THE LOOK (FROM THE INSIDE): - diner but for grown folks; dark interior (black paint; wood tables and chairs, booths); full bar; living room setup with a motorcycle and leather couches THE (FOOD) MENU: - jumpstarters - overdrive - full throttle - clutch dessert THE DRINK MENU: - draft beers - craft beers - other WHAT WE ORDERED: - chimichurri steak fries - pesto steak sandwich - hot rod smash THE TASTE: - chimichurri steak fries - fiance was disappointed in the presentation vs. pictures of this same dish from Yelp; pictures from previous patrons "looked way better" than what we got; taste was there though - pesto steak sandwich - I was given the chimichurri steak sandwich instead... not what I ordered, but I ate it anyway because I was so hungry; it was a bit too spicy for me to enjoy - hot rod smash - fiance loved it CUSTOMER SERVICE: - Angel was our server; when I saw that she doesn't write the orders down, I had a feeling our order wouldn't completely be what it was meant to be and I was right... - we didn't like that when paying, the total (for other patrons) and ourselves was said out loud; we can read the pin pad screen just fine read more

"Don't judge a book by its cover!" Definitely didn't expect what we got! The wonderful server, Felipe, was so kind and friendly. The place definitely looks like a lounge place, all black inside, but it was a kind place. There were families inside and games being played. My family went inside and we got all different things so we can share, except one family member. We got the different items- steak fries, buffalo chicken fries, spamaroni fries, nachos and quesadilla. I got the quesadilla. It came with sauce, sour cream, guacamole, and chili flakes. My quesadilla had steak in it. The nachos ( which I didn't get a picture of) was packed!! So much food. Also it was such a blessing that a lovely man paid our lunch! Thank you sir! read more

My family was in the area and decided to stop for a quick bite. Since it was earlier in the afternoon, it wasn't packed. We were instantly led to a table and given menus. Our server was Felipe and he was so friendly! We decided to share entrees but I loved the Nashville fries (they had just the right amount of spice). Each fries set was delicious, the quesadillas were fabulous and the nachos were delectable! Service was quick and easy and the area was nice and clean. Definitely enjoyed the trip. read more

We were on a club crawl for Halloween and stopped in here for a bite. The atmosphere was festive with all the costumed patrons. I was a little disappointed in the wings though. I was hoping for fried wings and they looked baked or naked. The tenders were too crispy almost burnt. We didn't ask for a makeover because it took a while to get our original order. The service was good. Unfortunately they don't offer military discounts. read more

Went here last night and honestly had such a good time. The steak nachos with chimichurri fries were fire, packed with flavor, and the spam fries were one of those "I didn't know I needed this in my life" kind of things. Everything came out hot and fresh, perfect for sharing but also dangerous because I wanted it all to myself. The vibe of this place is what really sold me though. It's got that fun, lively energy where you can eat, drink, and just hang out without feeling rushed. Full bar with solid drinks, good music, and the kind of crowd that makes you want to stay longer than you planned. Shoutout to the staff too--they were on point. Super attentive, always checking in, but chill at the same time. You could tell they actually enjoy being there. Definitely one of those spots I'd come back to just to vibe the night away again. read more

Found this as the #1 spot when I searched Yelp for dinner/burger because I was craving a burger.. The burger itself was maybe a 6/10- tasted how I would if I stayed home and made it myself lol Cool like spot though! I liked the ambience in there, cool little casual spot. The servers were all very attentive and quick! They had also just gotten their liquor license so I'm hoping to go back there for some drinks soon! read more

Fun and spacious bar in Midtown serving proper bar eats. We had lunch there and came on a day when they offered $5 hot dogs (and hot links). Score! We got one of each, Grand Theft Avo (chips and guac) for our starter and Nitrous Nachos (steak nachos). The portions are generous and made for sharing. The hot dog and hot links were actually quite good and not one of those 'picnic' type of hot dogs...you know what I mean lol I would get both again, preferably when they are on $5 special! We wanted to finish with something sweet so we shared the Shopzookie. The cookie was thick and chewy topped with healthy portions of ice cream and whipped cream. Lots of seating, clean, and service was attentive very nice. Lots of street parking all around. read more

Came from an event on Thursday night and was starving and The Shop Midtown was close by and opened! There wasn't much people inside as a whole since it was a weekday, but there bar area was full. We asked for the menu and sat at the tables. We all ordered the classic smash burger, hot rod smash burger, and steak chimichurri sandwich. I really appreciated the food coming out quickly since we were HUNGRY. My classic smash was good! The meat was juicy and the portions were great. I was told the hot rod smash burger and steak chimichurri sandwich were delicious. The sandwich was huge and a big hit! I'd also recommend trying their house made ranch as it went well with the fries. I believe it was the owner who brought the food out to us and he was super friendly! Came to check how the food was and even came by to chat. He gave all of us a $5 off card. They have karaoke night on Mondays and bingo night on Wednesday! read more

Came on a wednesday evening, earlier around 6pm! to our surprise it's more so a hidden area and gives a dimmed light vibe. we didn't know it would be a bingo night either, that was a fun little twist to our date night. everyone and staff were friendly and welcoming! we ordered garlic parmesan wings and the steak chimichurri sandwich. it was huge. honestly could feed about 4 people rather than the two of us. id highly recommend the wings! the steak was a bit salty. overall we had a very good experience and would come back to try the smash burger because that sounded delicious! read more

My friend and I recently visited for an early visit and were impressed! Inside is no frills but they had tv screens playing the NBA and NHL playoff games when we went which was nice. The service was incredible, everyone was friendly, helpful with menu substitutions and even made sure our portion size on our chicken strips was appropriate by giving an additional strip to our order. Their chimichurri fries were delicious, I would definitely go back just to eat these again. The meat was cooked perfectly, seasoned well and the fries were still crispy. The chicken strips were ok, and the reason I couldn't give the shop 5 stars. The exterior was too greasy from the frying oil but the breading was crispy and the meat was juicy. I also got a to go burger for my husband who ate it an hour later and still said it was a really good burger. read more

The best food after midnight in the area. Came in around 1 on a Saturday and it was lively, had a DJ spinning and people drinking but I came to eat! Staff was attentive and although busy, they were constantly checking on people and keeping the place clean and tidy. We ordered a smash burger ($20 4.5/5 bread coulda been a lil better but at this point we are nitpicking, it was good) and the Chimmichurri Sandwich ($30 4.7/5 and if I had one compliant is that it should come with larger or more onion rings. One per half sandwich leaves a lot of open real estate). Worst thing we got were the fries but they were decent. Good meal, staff were great and open late, 4/5 Def worth pulling up. Looking forward to trying something else but the Chimichurri was so good I'll probably order it again. read more

The Shop Midtown is the place to be! I came on a weekday evening, and I love the laidback retro vibe inside. As soon as I walked in, I was told that it's open seating, but we had a reservation and were seated on the couches. Ethan was our server, and he was very welcoming and gave us great recommendations on what to order as first timers. We ordered the Nitrous Nachos, Chimichurri Steak Fries, Hot Rod Smash, and saved room for the Shopzookie at the end. The Hot Rod Smash was by far my favorite! This burger is over the top in the best way possible, and it was the best smash burger I've ever had. The steak on the nachos and fries was well seasoned and so tender. Al and Ben, co-owners, were awesome, and I'll definitely be back! Pro tip: Follow the Shop Midtown on Instagram to learn about their daily deals. On Wednesday nights, they offer free bingo and the winner gets $10 off their tab. You won't want to miss out! read more

"If you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it's yours. If not, it was never meant to be," Was awesome the 1st go around, but dam - "2nd's the BEST." -Was hungry and curious if Shop Midtown would still be as LEGENDARY as it was on my previous visit. If something ani't broke, why change it. Got the Hot Rod Smash again. The essence of seasoning and spices excel from the smashed beef patty nestled under a ton of fixings.. "Dam, it was good." -the Fam craved the Classic Smash; flavors was just as good. - NITROUS NACHOS: this thing was a BEAST. Skirt steak was well seasoned - very tender w/ a citrusy tang. The cheese, pico de gallo, and the entire kitchen sink kicks things up a notch. Great for sharing w/ the homies or a random stranger. LOL -Staff: cooler then the 1st time we showed up. They actually remember the FAM and I. Super cool, this will be our "GO 2" burger and brew spot. - read more

The shop is a cool bar/restaurant to stop by. My sister, boyfriend, and I stopped in for a quick bite after an event downtown. It was a Monday so they were having a karaoke night! The host and servers were very polite and created a good vibe. We shared some wings and chimichurri fries. The food was good, not exceptional, but it did what it needed to do for a quick bite at a bar. The Mary-HI cocktail is good, kind of tastes like sparkling water. I loved the layout and think this is a cool place to hangout with friends. They offer TV and various board games to play. I would love to go back and participate in the karaoke on a Monday night! read more

Came here for the first time to watch the Warriors NBA playoff game and it was awesome. The owner was super cool and friendly and even hooked us up with a soju bomb for my boys bday. Had a really clean, chill atmosphere with tons of TVs. He said the bar fits 80. They had a fun bingo drinking game too with some prizes ! He reccomended the chimichurri fries and they hit I ended up getting a second order! Friend got the chicken tenders and they were perfectly crispy and moist inside. Highly reccomend this spot to watch some sports and chill! read more

The Shop - Midtown Sacramento, CA Had an amazing experience here tonight. Quin and Ray were awesome behind the bar and on the floor--super friendly, attentive, and made the night even better. The food was amazing, hands down. Every bite hit. The atmosphere was great too--laid-back but lively, the kind of place you actually want to hang out and enjoy your time. They also had DJ Fuji tonight, and he absolutely killed it. Hit after hit after hit. The music was so good I kept wanting to sing along, but had to stop myself so I could actually eat my food . Phenomenal DJ and perfect vibes all around. You really have to experience this place for yourself. Great food, great staff, great music--definitely coming back. read more

I went to The Shop with a friend early in the day, so it was quiet and pretty empty inside. It was actually really nice; the owner even came over and introduced himself. Service was quick and friendly, which we appreciated. We ordered a Caesar salad, the steak fries, and the Hot Rod Smash. The salad was pretty standard, but the steak fries were amazing; juicy, tender, and full of flavor. We devoured them! My friend loved the Hot Rod Smash, though for me it was a bit too sweet and not enough spice for me. Still, it wasn't bad, just not my personal favorite. Overall, we enjoyed our visit and would definitely go back! read more

While at a conference we were craving some hot food at lunch time and found that this place was fairly new but saw some unique items on their menu like the Spam BLT so we wanted to swing by. First of all, the server was 10/10, so nice and gave us great customer service, making jokes and really describing each dish to perfection. The owner also came out after we were done to see how we enjoyed the meal, which I thought was a nice touch and made me appreciate that we went to a local spot instead of a national franchise. We got spam fries, which should be a MUST for every table, especially if you are uncertain on if you like spam. The spam was cut into bite sized fried pieces that brought a nice salty crunch to the dish. We also got the BBQ Wings and like 3 sides of their homemade ranch. PHEW... guys, that ranch was something else. We asked for more of it when our entrees came out. We also got a hamburger, which came with a side of fries (drenched in that killer ranch). The bun was so soft and it was a really good burger that hit the spot without weighing me down too much. My only suggestion for this place would be to add more vegetable dishes as most of the items come with fries, which are pretty heavy and sometimes I'd like to offset my burger with something "healthy" like shishito peppers, asparagus, broccoli, or fried green tomatoes. Otherwise, come check this place out - it looks like they would be a cool cocktail lounge in the evenings. read more

The Shop is a gem! You walk in and are immediately transported to the cutest date night / chill spot for any occasion. Want to watch the game? There's multiple tvs. Kraving a bite and some drinks? There's options that will guarantee to hit the spot. If you don't know what you want, ask your server and they'll recommend the best. This place isn't just a place to eat at, it's an experience. I tried a few things while there including a few soju's (highly recommend the "Ben Special", soooo yummy) but only captured their chimichurri steak fries (which are 11/10 btw). read more

First time here and will come again. I think that alone says it all the food is delicious, pretty standard American food choices but with a twist! The service was great and the hosts are so attentive. The ambience is so chill, it gives off Cheers the tv sitcom with a modern feel. I chatted with AL, he is so freaking cool; he is the co-owner of this place, and was very attentive with us. Thanks so much AL, we I'll be back!! read more

Came to The Shop around 9PM because my husband and I were craving a late night burger and heard great things about this place. Service was phenomenal. Everyone is very attentive, fast, and friendly. No notes. The food was okay. We absolutely had high expectations but left a smidge disappointed. It was around 9 so that could have been it. The bun was a little stale, like it was sitting under the lamp for a bit and the fries are definitely frozen and a bit bland. My burger was juicy, but my husband did not care for his too much. Next time, I would try to make it a double patty as the it was a lot of bun versus meat. I think if the entire burger, not just the meat, was smashed, the ratio would have been better. We would come back earlier in the day to give it another try as we really enjoyed the ambiance and service. They have games available to use as well, like Uno and Jenga, etc. read more

Saw their menu on Yelp and decided to stop in to pick up food for dinner. I thought it was a restaurant but it's more of a dark moody bar-type feel with a few tables. Food took longer than quoted but the lady who helped me was very nice. As far as the food goes though, I don't think I'd come out of my way to return. The steak on our chimichurri fries and the quesadilla was too tough and chewy. Spam fries were also too salty to handle, and normally I'm not too picky on seasoning but it just wasn't balanced with any other flavors besides salt. read more

Sis and I were attending an event at the SAFE Credit Union Convention Center and we decided to mosey on over here (about a 7 min walk) for some midday grub. - Classic smash (comes w/ fries): it's like a hefty upper-class version of a Habit Charburger lol especially with the plentiful shredded lettuce. Not much smash crispiness on the edges of the beef patty but the patty was still very succulent. Slightly under-seasoned. Standard crispy fries. - Chimichurri steak fries: fries themselves were served a bit cold but the steak pieces were quite tender. Could've used more drizzling on the chimichurri and ranch. Very friendly server as well as the owner! The humble owner was making rounds of occupied tables with no fret on socializing. Dark interior. Chill vibes midday but I can see it getting busy at night especially in the bar area. Overall I'd say even when it needs a few tweaks it's still a nice new spot to check out if you already happen to be in the area. read more

First impression - I was a little surprised when they poured my $7 beer out of a can BUT at least the mug was cold. Food menu is pretty standard bar fare. Prices are on the medium side of high - $16 for a smash burger with fries. No outstanding burger sauce, but it was good quality beef. This location has changed a bunch of times over the last few years and I won't be surprised if it does again. Nothing to really complain about, but nothing to differentiate them from anywhere else. read more

Hands down one of the best places I've been this year so far! Let me tell you, I kept seeing it on instagram and knew I needed to try it out. Shout out to Ethan our server for being super helpful and friendly. The ambiance was super chill and I love the Honda bike and lighting they have on display. Beer prices are great as well! I ended up ordering the Chimichurri Fries and the Chimichurri steak sandwich. They probably took around 10-15 mins to come to the table. Be prepared; it is definitely a lot of food so it would not be a bad idea to share! I had to have a to go box lol. 10/10 the sandwich and fries were delicious and the steak on the sandwich and fries were both tender. On the sandwich it was definitely juicy as well! Super delicious and I highly recommend this spot to anyone who hasn't tried it yet. read more
