SQUEEZE INN - Best burgers in town!
by deWilde
This is one of my favorite places to go when I'm in town. The Squeeze Burger is anything but fat free or low calorie but well worth the extra thigh dimple's. Check out more information about the Squeeze Inn under my Sacramento Restaurant Tips.
Best Burgers in town!
by deWilde about Squeeze Inn
This is one of my favorite places to go when I'm in town. Squeeze used to be run by Ruth and her family but I guess they sold it to a new crew. It's still good, although the service was a bit lacking last time I hit it. The Squeeze Burger is anything but fat free or low calorie. If you are on a diet, thinking about a diet or fasting, avoid this place. It is called the Squeeze Inn for a reason... you have to s q u e e z e IN. There are about 10 bar stools and that is about it. The rest is outside picnic tables or standing while waiting for your order to go. The burgers are made to order, so you may wait a bit. The fry's are fresh cut and super yummy. Not the best place to go after a night of drinking [ask VT: AmandaJae, tehe], but fabulous non the less! They also have tacos and misc other items but are know for their burgers. You can't miss it.. look for the little orange house. FYI - The neighborhood is not the best, right outside the hood. Go during the day as that is the only time they are open. I usually get the Squeeze Burger with Cheese and a large size of Fries. This meal can easily be split with someone as the burger is huge and the fries are enough to feed a small army. However, the taco’s are great too. They are fried and steamed, similar to JimBoy’s Tacos [if you know what that is]. Basically full of fat and oil yet very good!

New Roma Bakery
1800 E St
Sacramento, CA 95814
916-443-2346
Repeat customers say New Roma Bakery, which has been firing up its ovens since 1935, has the formula for success down pat. The first thing to grab your attention -- even before you enter this sandwich, salad and fresh baked goods shop -- is the aroma. The scent of baking bread wafts along E Street, luring customers inside to purchase loaves of crusty Italian, rye, eight-grain, sourdough, onion rye or onion wheat. New Roma also is known for serving huge sandwiches that won't break your bank account. The salad menu includes traditional tuna salad and crab salad, both topped with a creamy ranch dressing. Pizza, made with New Roma's light and crispy dough, is also a favorite of the lunch crowd.
The California State Railroad...

The California State Railroad Museum
The California State Railroad Museum is a great place to visit. They have many engines and railcars spanning a long period of California history. Rail travel was key to the openning up of the West and Sacramento was a major rail hub, the western terminus of the transcontinental line. The Museum has interesting exhibits on the history of railroading.
