Jack's Urban Eats | Sacramento Insights

North Highlands is a great place to live. The same could be said for Sacramento as a whole.

We are two hours from San Francisco (the people that live there prefer you do not call it Frisco) and two hours from South Lake Tahoe. When the mountains are capped with snow it is hard to find anything more beautiful (except my wife) than Tahoe. San Francisco, with all its charm, possesses some of the best restaurants on planet earth.

Yes, North Highlands is a great place to live, but partly because of all that is near by. For example, there are all the great events that are held ten minutes down the freeway at Arco Arena. If you have been to a Kings game you know, if possible, it is best to have your dinner before or after the game. Eating at the Arena is a lot like listening to Hall and Oates’ greatest hits. Sure, the words are familiar and you can tap your foot, but in the end you feel all hollow and empty inside.

I am not going to harp on the Arena food being over priced. Like energy costs in California, there are just certain things we just expect to pay mini bar prices for.

If you take the Truxel exit off of I- 80, you will find a plethora of eating establishments in the Wal-Mart shopping center. You can enjoy places like In N’ Out Burger, Baja Grill, On the Boarder, and many others. Oh, they also have an Applebee’s. In my opinion, Applebee’s is the dining equivalent to shaving with a cheese grater. However, if YOU like it, it is at the ready, riblets and all.

Continue down Truxel past the Arena, at Truxel and Del Paso, and in the Raley’s shopping center you will find Jack’s Urban Eats. My wife (the young, personable, vivacious, and oh so attractive little pixie I refer to as Carrie) and I recently had Dinner at Jack’s after a Kings game. Now, we did not actually attend the game, but it had just ended, none the less.

Jack’s serves up carved to order hot sandwiches, fresh veggies, and some wickedly good salads. For $5.99 I had a fantastic Tri -Tip Sando. Great food at a great price and fast, to boot, if you are running late for the game.

From a nutrition stand point you have options at Jack’s that will likely outdo a King dog.

If you are coming in from I-5, you might want to take the Del Paso exit, pull into the Safeway shopping center, and head into Giovanni’s Pizza.

Giovanni’s is locally owned and several have popped up over the last few years in the Sacto area. Giovanni’s serves a THIN CRUST, New York style pizza that is sensational. Yes, I said thin crust. Trust me, you only think you like thick crust better. As your palate matures, you will realize a thin crust is better and also the way pizza was originally designed to be. You see, you only think you prefer Pepsi to Coke, beef ribs to pork, Burger King to Mcdonalds, Lennon to McCartney, The Sac Bee’s columns to mine, when, in fact, it is simply a learned response from So the next time you go to a Kings game, or take the kids to Disney on ice, or perhaps the Aerosmith concert, you have a couple of great choices for your pre or post game vittles.
