Craving Comfort Food in Sacramento
In the mood for an old-fashioned, home-cooked meal? Something familiar that reminds you of family dinner time? Even if others in your party don't share your cravings, all of you can find something to please on the menu at these three popular restaurants...
At JACK'S URBAN EATS you can wrap your hands around a bowl of macaroni and cheese just like Mom used to make. It doesn't need to be a holiday; at Jack's they serve up steaming slices of juicy, oven-roasted turkey and freshly whipped, creamy mashed potatoes. Bring along your favorite salad-lover, and they can watch their salad being built right before their eyes, and choose from over a dozen different items.
Jack's style is casual; take a tray through the line and watch them slice meats and scoop sides right before your eyes. You order, eat, and keep on moving, unless the weather is nice and you find a table outside. Jack's are easy to find, in downtown Sacramento at 20th and Capitol, and in two busy shopping centers: Park Place in Natomas, and Loehman's Plaza.
Family-friendly BROOKFIELD'S restaurants are well-known for their home-style cooking and fresh ingredients. Try the Lasagna or Meatloaf and mashed potatoes to remind you of Sunday dinner at home. Brookfield's serves up generous portions in comfortable settings that appeal to all ages. For those in your party looking for something lighter and unique, have them try the Salmon-Strawberry-Spinach salad!
Desserts like Mom used to make include Tapioca pudding and flaky fruit pies brought to your table hot from the oven. Good coffee, comfortable seating, and attentive service make Brookfield's ideal at any time of day. They are located convenient to freeways in Sacramento: on Madison, off Hwy. 80; on Folsom Boulevard, off Hwy. 50; and on Taylor Road in Roseville.
If only a burger will do, then RED ROBIN may be the place for you. The name is recognizable, and so is their Royal Red Robin Burger; an enormous cheeseburger, topped with bacon and a fried egg. Or choose a lighter meal and then dig into the Hot Apple Crisp, with an oatmeal cookie crust, ice cream, and caramel sauce. Red Robin can be found in Elk Grove, Citrus Heights, Folsom, and Roseville.
