Burgers.. let's talk about burgers.. there's NO GOOD BURGER PLACES IN FOLSOM.  There, I said it, I know it may come as a shock to some of you, but there it is.

Don't dare say "BJ's" or "Yager's" .. especially not Yager's.  And anyone who says 'McDonalds' better duck quickly!  The 8' Burger at Streets of London is tasty, but frickin' huge to the point of being almost inedible.

The best I've found around here is Mark & Monica's in Granite Bay.  A bit of a drive, but some tasty food and big TV's!

If anyone cares to argue my statement, I am welcome to suggestions of other places to try.  We did try the burger place over by Bel Air, and it was alright *shrug*

Wha..!? Yeager's has GREAT burgers. Too bad Willie's left.

My vote is for PICK UP STIX located in the Bel Air complex on E. Bidwell and Broadstone Pkwy. It is the yummiest food ever......oriental fusion.
It is not for the best of dinning experience but a take out is fabulous.
When in doubt eat there....smile.gif

I tried it a few times and everything was covered in way too much sauce (soy sauce, Teriyaki sauce, whatever).
The end result was that nothing seemed worth the extra time and money over Panda Express.

What's good at Panda Express? I never know what to order. I tried the Orange Chicken they have been touting and it was way too much sauce.

I like Chinese foods, but it's too greasy. Not healthy. Try Thai or Vietnamese foods. Uhhhhh good. thumbsupsmileyanim.gif

Yes, the Thai restaurant near Zinfandel Grill is wonderful -- delicious flavors. Way better than Panda Express.

Hey, quick question, anyone know about the Chinese Seafood Buffet right next to Del Taco (across the stress from Raleys)? Has it re-opened or is it out of business?

One thing is for sure, its not the best sushi in the world (far from it) but for 7 dollars you cant go wrong

I am scared of Vietnamese food! I don't know what to order, don't know what's in it.

What can I order that has chicken in it -- no seafood??

I don't blame ya, but it ain't gonna kill ya to eat it. biggrin.gif .

Vietnamese foods are known for being healthy, but it is still a little exotic to the mainstream. Once ya had it, you will like it. I will write some instructions on how and which to order for you, with some pictures too. Without the seafood.

You don't like seafoods? Oh my you don't know what ya missing. tongue.gif

We tried Coco Palms last weekend. The food was delicious and the portions were HUGE!!

But I am no expert on Vietnamese food. I suppose we will have to wait until Cyber checks out the place for us.

Steve and forumreader - I will test Coco Palms sometimes in the near future and let you know.

A good place for Vietnamese food is Hoa Viet, but it's not in Folsom. The closest one is on Bradshaw off 50.
