good eatin': $5 - $10

Jack's Urban Eats  20TH & CAPITOL
Jack's has become one of the best midtown eateries around - whether you are in the mood for a famous "big" salad or perhaps even a nice steak sandwich, you'll see why the lines are always long. Their famous fries are to die for! One plate will feed three people! A "can't miss" restaurant.

Mountain Mike's Pizza LA RIVIERA DR
All-You-Can-Eat Lunch Buffet...Who needs that Biology lab, anyway? Mountain Make's serves as a good meeting place for any occasion. What else can we say? It's the greatest pizza joint in town!

Crest Cafe DOWNTOWN / K ST (Next to Crest Theater)
Crest Cafe is a bit different than you average burger fare... but it's a great difference. They serve up great Mediterranean food, great wines, and on the weekends they even have belly dancing! Sweet! We recommend the kabobs - very tasty.

Mongolian BBQ HOWE AVE
Sit here for hours and make good on that all-you-can-eat offer. Cruise over and make a big bowl-ful of Noodles and meat and whatever you want on it. They cook it up right there in front of you. Just don't hand pack!

Mel's Diner HOWE AVE.
Mel's is a classic 1950's style Diner right out of Happy Days. The food is great when you want something super tasty and you're not worrying about calories. The entrees run from about $6.50 and up, but it comes with fries/coleslaw. It might eventually become a big student hangout, once the word gets out. Beers, TVs, jukeboxes... it's good stuff.

Bleacher's EXPOSITION AVE
They do have food here too, you know. Great food, even better drink specials. They spin this giant wheel on occasion to see what the drink special of the night is. Come here to watch Kings games, Giants games, Niners, Raiders... you name it.

Merlino's Orange Freeze FOLSOM BLVD
You gotta have an Orange Freeze at least once while at Sac State. They're kind of like a cross between slurpees and sweettarts. You have to taste them to understand. They also serve a wide variety of burgers and stuff, but check out the Orange Freeze at once! It is essential on those 100-degree days that we all know and love here in Sacramento.

Johnny Rocket's DOWNTOWN PLAZA (K ST MALL)
Definitely above-average burgers. Don't expect to see your food come all at once, but it's a great atmosphere. They even have nickel jukeboxes! It can be a great place to bring a date before you hit the movies right next door.

La Bou HOWE AVE
When grease just won't do. Hit La Bou for great sandwiches, soups, or salads. The food as a little pricey for everyday dining, but it's worth the stop. Pretty interesting looking architecture.

Original Pete's Pizza HOWE AVE
Too much good stuff to eat here! Pizza, pasta, salads... you can't go wrong at this place. Definite family atmosphere (if you're in to that sort of thing).

Big Kahuna Burger K ST (DOWN BY HARD ROCK CAFE)
Inspired by the movie Pulp Fiction; make sure you get the Big Kahuna Balls! Ask for them by name, if it's you're first time, they are free. If you get a Big Kahuna Burger, it's a full 1/2 pound burger. It's HUGE! If that's too much for you, order a "wimpy" burger - it's 1/4 pound, but is it worth the humiliation? They cater to the downtown office crowd, so don't try coming by at night (they're closed).

Fresh Choice HOWE AVE
When grease just won't do II. Come here for great soups, salads, and pasta. Always an excellent choice with women - great place to take a date. Chances are you can't offend anyone!

Denny's COLLEGE TOWN
Hey, when the library closes, it's a good place to study. Time for the ol' bottomless cup o' joe and a date with that Anthro book.

Lyon's HOWE AVE
Likewise on study breaks. Grab a seat and hit the books. The waitresses will know what you're up to. Just tip them well!

Zelda's Pizza 21ST ST (MIDTOWN)
Midtown Pizza at its finest. Everything here from liquor to beer to pizza, of course. You'll feel like family in this place. If you live in Midtown, frequent this place often. Once you finally find the place, you'll be back again and again.
