James L. writes: With my type of hair (coarse/wavy/thick) and head shape (flat in the back with a wide face), it's always hard to find a place where the staff will cut my hair well, let alone cut it well on a consistent basis.  During my years living in the…

Jack's Urban Eats 3

4730 Natomas Blvd
Sacramento, CA 95835

Love U. writes: Very similar to Pluto's but a little more unorganized.  Make sure you ask the people ahead of you which line they are in or you could be standing in the wrong line.  

The food is pretty good...portions are pretty good too.  You could share a sandwich…

Nicole R. writes: I heart It's A Grind.  It's in my hood, and I've become an unintentional regular.  All the folks there know my name, know what I like to drink and if I'm coming in on my own they ask if I need to take anything home to the Hubs, who often comes with.…

Pro Clips Salon

4215 Norwood Ave
Sacramento, CA 95838

Inigo M. writes: 4 stars for low prices. $9 haircuts for men. Quality is good enough. I am not paying for a $20+ haircut in Natomas.

But, as we all know, low prices usually = tradeoffs. True in this case, viz., not the best location, and the store is dirty.

Rosie's Country Kitchen

Nextime Thrift Shop

5394 Auburn Blvd
Sacramento, CA 95841

Go Moto

5739 Auburn Blvd
Sacramento, CA 95841

Mattie P. writes: Yay for Go Moto!  My old leather jacket was stretched out, frayed, worn, and had minimal armor - not good for riding.  The selection of women's riding gear I found at the local bike shops was extremely limited.  Where's a girl to go?  GO MOTO.

Bobo Cafe

5412 Madison Avenue
Sacramento, CA 95841

Starbucks Coffee Company

4241 Elverta Road
Antelope, CA 95843
