The Food Junction

I was in town overnight for work. Even though I live nearby, I don't spend a lot of time eating out in Sac. After a couple of frustrating misses trying to find some place that didn't have a "food scene" line out the door on a Friday morning, I headed over here. This is EXACTLY the kind of old Sacramento restaurant my coworkers talk about (not to be confused with Old Sacramento.) When Sac was a sleepy farm town with a rail station and some government buildings, this is the kind of working class diner you could find without too much hassle. As the reviews state, the food is affordable and the staff is very kind. While the building looks small from the outside, there is ample seating inside and an indoor patio. I had the breakfast sandwich and it was to die for. I would get it with extra cheese next time because I am an American cheesaholic. This is exactly the kind of hot, crusty bread and meaty egg sandwich that I was craving, what I would describe as "hangover food." You know what I'm talking about. 10/10 would eat here again.

Food is decent. Service is fast. If you want a simple sandwich or burrito, this is definitely your spot. Nothing out of the ordinary but a good business with fair pricing.

This is a great hole in the wall brunch spot. Quick and easy meal and good service. I'd recommend if in the area

Been here a handful of times now and we keep coming back to this junction. When the service is nice and polite, the food is consistent and the prices are unbeatable. They win with the triple hit.The parking lot holds about 8 spots or so, but there is some Parking down the side street at least on one side(i used it). They have inside and outside tables depending on your preference. They have a good lineup of food from breakfast to lunch items. The burger is good, and i added an egg and made it a breakfast burger. The breakfast special comes with 2 ea - bacon, sausage, eggs and pancakes with a side of hash browns for 9.99 (current as of june 2023). They serve, coffee, tea, soda, Gatorade, energy drinks and beer. (fosters and Modelo i have seen)

Fast service, casual diner atmosphere, kind people, community feel, consistent tasty diner food, pancakes especially good. Very reasonable pricing, indoor and outdoor seating. Just what I want in a diner!

The Food Junction is a must-visit when you're in town! Even with inflation, their prices remain affordable, and the owners are always kind. As a long-time customer, I've never been disappointed. Their burgers and rib-eye steak are my favorites, and I can't forget to mention the fresh fries and unlimited refills--even on coffee! The parking can be tricky since the restaurant is small, and seating both indoors and outdoors is limited, but that doesn't stop me from coming back. Here's a look at my breakfast this morning: #7 Steak and a peek at the latest menu. You can't beat the value!

Simple BLT and fries. That's what made this so good that it was just a simple bacon lettuce and tomatoes sandwich. No special sauce or twist to it, every bite had all 3 ingredients. The fries were unsalted and crispy. The service was great and even though they were busy. They had seats inside as well as outside, so that was cool they had that option for a small place. Would go again!

I've lived In the neighborhood for over 15 years and never made it to this place. I found myself close by with the need for a quick bite and stopped in this little gem. Good service, decent food, and a fair price. What else could you want these days?I got the corn beef hash and eggs while W got the juevis ranchers. The crust on the corn beef hash was crispy and perfect. The eggs were cooked exactly like I ordered and the hash browns were crispy and tasty.W's juevos rancheros came with a side of avocados and onions, a nice touch.All in all a great little place to grab a quick bite. We will be back to try some of the other menu options.

I've driven past this place for over 25 years, and have never stopped. Today, I was doing businesses with one of the car dealerships in the area, and so I finally decided to stop in. I call this place a "blue collar greasy spoon", and I say that as a compliment. Their clientele is primarily the people who work in the many used car dealerships, auto shops, etc... in the area. I walked in right at noon, and the place had only one other customer. Within 15 minutes, there was a long line of people waiting to order food. Every table in the small dining area was about to fill up. The menu is simple... It says right on the sign in front of the restaurant. Breakfast, Lunch, and beer. :) I ordered the patty melt with fries, and a large soda. The sandwich was excellent. I liked the onions, the burger was a decent size, and not over or undercooked. I normally don't care for white american cheese, but with this sandwich, it worked. Neither the sandwich nor the fries were greasy at all. A very good simple meal. For a good meal and a soda, I only paid about $9 out the door, plus a small tip. You can really get great meals at the little places just sitting alongside the road. Thanks!!

I came on for breakfast. The food is really good. The prices are very reasonable and the service was great. The food came out fast. It was hot and fresh. This is a little gem that needs to be known about. Very very good. I'll be back.
