The Real Pie Company

1201 F St
Sacramento, CA 95814

Ann S. writes: I'm a sheep.  I heard about how good the pies were at this place, and so I braved the weird hours, the pie shortages, and the crowds to get a pie.  I've always been perfectly happy with Marie Calendar pie, but no, if the big sheep in the bunch starts…

Mikuni Japanese Restaurant

4323 Hazel Ave
Fair Oaks, CA 95628

Ally D. writes: I'm probably one of the few Sacramentans that's never been a fan of the Mikuni Empire. The whole rock'n roll sushi motif has never appealed to me. I remember when the Hazel Mikuni's location was just a miniscule mom & pop operation, I liked it back…

We were in the area and called about 20 miles…
