Classic Sacramento Restaurants and Eateries to Try - Eater SF

"Bud’s is a well-worn cafeteria-style spot near the state Capitol, packed with state workers grabbing a quick lunch. Big hunks of meat, including pastrami and roast beef, marinate in steam trays and are carved to order. The French dip is rightly popular, and the spicy Bud’s Diablo, piled high with tender, pink roast beef and loaded with jalapeños, is the pick for those who like it spicy. You can also just live your best grandpa life by picking a meat and getting it as an open-faced sandwich, covered with gravy and mashed potatoes." - Becky Grunewald
