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.

Classic steakhouse |
1209 L St (inside Hyatt Regency) Sacramento, CA 95814 United States +1 916 321 3600 http://sacramento.hyatt.com/hy... |
This bistro features a Martini bar. The setting is very dark, with lots of wood and brass creating an Old World atmosphere. The menu presents a nice selection of bistro sandwiches and the salads are pure California cuisine.

The macaroni and cheese made with cheddar and goat cheese, roasted tomato and onions is very popular. The piano player contributes to the atmosphere with soothing background tunes.
