Roxie Deli

Roxie Deli... morelikemostdelicioussandwichshopinsacramento.

Roxie is home of the world famous "Pulled Pork Tuesday". Every Tuesday, rain or shine, these giants among men slow cook the best pork in the world.  They pull it, mix it with the best sauce in the world and then throw some jalapenos in the mix. They then pack it into the most delicious dutch crunch roll that has ever been made, and serve it with plenty of napkins. I always prefer to eat mine with an ice cold Arizona Ice Tea...nom nom nom.  I haven't been in a while, and now I'm mad that it's Wednesday. I have to wait 6 days until I can go get the best sandwich ever made.

Ok, as if that wasn't a great enough reason to visit Roxie, they also make dozens of other types of sando's too. Every day of the week comes with a different specialty. I can’t remember which day meatloaf is, but it's out of control good too.

If you're on the fence about this place... jump off and RUN to East Sac and nosh on one of these sandwiches asap! Tell them Eric D. sent you… they'll look at you like, who the F is Eric D? It will be funny because they have no idea who I am.

This place is also really close to McKinley Park. I've never done it, but you could easily get the sando to go, and eat it in the park.

They also have a great drink selection.

5 stars all day long.

Bud’s Buffet

1016 10th St
Sacramento, CA 95814
(916) 443-6905

I work downtown and almost every day I contemplate going to Bud's for lunch.  The Ruben is probably the best in Sacramento... actually; every sandwich they make is probably the best one in Sacramento.  The coleslaw is awesome, the mashed potatoes are awesome, the workers are fast... and awesome... you get the point, Bud's is the BEST! It's pretty inexpensive, too.  Do yourself a favor and head to Bud's today!

La Bonne Soupe Cafe

920 8th St
Sacramento, CA 95814
(916) 492-9506

La Bonne is La-licious!  The place had its minor setbacks, but that's over with; wow its time for some awesomely addicting soups and sandwiches!  Duck, lamb, sausage, cheese, this place has it all! The soups are out of this world, the garlic ones especially, although, afterwards you'll surely have some sort of dragon'garlic breath as your trophy of accomplishment.  Go check this place out. 

"World Famous"

Brownie’s Lounge

5858 S Land Park Dr
Sacramento, CA 95857
(916) 424-3058

If I could live at Brownies, I probably would.  They have everything you need to survive: awesome bartenders who know all the regulars, dice games, tall cans of PBR, jukebox with huge selection of some pretty amazing music, and on a rare night, one of the regulars may even buy the whole bar a round of drinks.  It has plenty of booth, table and bar seating.  Now for the best part... they throw one of Sacramento's best Saint Patrick's Day parties.  There is live music, dancing, Brownie will sing a song or too (which may actually detour people, but it's worth a mention).  Thursday’s is Corned Beef day at Brownie’s, aka: the best day of the week.  They make the world’s best corned beef sandwich. It is basically about 4 inches of straight beef (that’s what she said) on two slices on rye bread with pickles and tomatoes on the side. Mustard optional.  5 stars

              

 Dad’s Kitchen

 2968 Freeport Blvd
 Sacramento, CA 95818
 (916) 447-3237

Dad's Kitchen is awesome! I've only been there twice, but both times were great.  They have a really terrific outdoor patio/eating area that is way inviting.  The restaurant isn't humongous; so the staff is quick, responsive and helpful with any questions about the menu.  I've had the meatloaf sandwich and a chicken pot pie and they were both delicious.  Its real home cookin' at its best!

 

Nugget Market

1040 Florin Rd
Sacramento, CA 95831
(916) 395-2875

Sandwiches, sushi, meats, pastas, wines, beers, sodas, cheeses, veggies, Nugget has it all! And a good selection of it all! And cute girls who work there to help you with the selection! The prices aren't the cheapest in town, but you don't go there for the cheap prices, you go there for the awesomeness that is NUGGET.  Homemade pasta salads, pre-cooked dinners, Chinese food, pastries, cookies, cakes, yum! I wish I was at Nugget right now.  They have an awesome non-alcoholic drink selection, soda's from all over the world, and huge selection of delicious rootbeers (I've almost tried every kind).  Oh and they also have a good selection of premium cigars, average prices on those; and for those state workers out there, there is a Golden1 ATM machine.  My point is... go to Nugget and buy everything today!
Oh yea, they have a smoothie/coffee bar too.  Most importantly Nugget offers one of the best made to order sandwiches in Sacramento. They.have.everything. They can get pricey, which is sad because when Nugget first got there they were cheap, like $4.50 cheap and now they’re in the $7.50 price range; but worth it every once in a while.
