Take its name literally; if you drive too fast, you will miss this tiny eatery. The decor is not anything special, a few boxing posters and pictures of big fish. The lack of elbowroom is more than made up for by the size of its burgers. The "Squeeze Burger," is a third of a pound of ground chuck with a cornucopia of fixings all squeezed in to a huge whole grain bun. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Beer capers |
2001 Second Street Sacramento, CA 95616 United States +1 530 758 8700 http://www.sudwerk.com/ |
Sudwerk is a great place to catch a fast meal and some beer! Copper-colored kettles and huge circular structured seats make up the decor. The ambience is very unruly, with noise levels touching the top of the decibel chart! The food is all German and you should give the sausages, burgers and sandwiches a try. While you're in the lobby gulping the food down, walk over to the bar for some exquisite Sudwerk beer. All the beer is brewed in accordance with "Reinheitsgebot"—the German purity law. It can get boisterous in here, but that's the fun of it all! Review © 2007, Wcities |
