Dad's

Beloved Neighborhood Sandwich Shop

1310 S Street
(between 13th & 14th Streets)
Sacramento, CA 95814
United States
+1 916 448 3237
http://www.eatatdads.com

Just a hop, skip and a jump away from the hustle and bustle of Sacramento's busy downtown corridor is Dad's, a friendly neighborhood lunch joint famous for its slightly offbeat take on classic sandwich combinations. The menu features 27 sandwiches, both cold and grilled (many with ingredients such as Hungarian paprika, walnuts, pepper plant sauce and wax peppers - and all with names like "Bad Breath Special," "Hot Blonde," "Fat Elvis" and "Bikini Kill"), so decision making can be tough (especially since you can substitute tri-tip on any selection for just 75 cents). Shady sidewalk seating under S Street's canopy of trees makes for an eminently pleasant lunch. See website for full sandwich list, soup and salad options, breakfast menu and event calendar.

David Berkley Fine Wines & Specialty Foods

Sandwich Supreme! 515 Pavilions Ln
(at Fair Oaks Blvd)
Sacramento, CA 95825
United States
+1 916 929 4422 / +1 800 992 2990
http://www.dberkley.com You may wait 20 minutes at lunch for one of the Rueben or Creole sandwiches, but do not give up; the wait is worth it. Located in the trendy Pavilions Center on Fair Oaks, this eatery combines the freshest meats, vegetables and other produce into some of the best sandwiches around. The Creole, combining turkey, zesty Creole mayonnaise, cabbage, lettuce and tomato is a favorite of the large and noisy noon-hour crowd. The wine selection is so extensive that experts are available to help you select a wine.

Elephant Bar Restaurant

Outdoor dining 6063 Sunrise Mall
Sacramento, CA 95610
United States
+1 916 961 3628
http://www.elephantbar.com/ The decor here is a jungle theme with plenty of booths and patio tables for outdoor dining. The menu is the same for both lunch and dinner. You can choose from a variety of salads, appetizers, burgers, burritos, specialty entrees and desserts. The burritos are large and tasty and the Caribbean Pot Roast is flavorful and filling. The house specialty is Mud Pie, a dessert that is large enough for two people to share. Because reservations are not accepted, the wait for a table may be very long.

Thanks to the patented "Rubicube," beer is also available to go. See website for full menu, beer list, event calendar and more.
