Good Neighbor by Urban Roots: Cozy Vibes & Delicious Eats in Downtown Sacramento

Absolutely love the vibe of this place. Not pretentious at all, you can go and just have a relaxed fun time. Sat at the bar for an early dinner with my brother and the bartenders made our drinks to perfection (try their old fashion), were great to chat with and the food...the food was delicious. We shared the pasta and the burger, both were done really well and their fries were addictive. I loved the openness of in the interior too. No matter where you sit, you have a view of the entire inside. If there is 1 item you absolutely have to try, its the Basque cheesecake. Once you have it, you wont want to ever eat another kind, trust me.

An experience! Atmosphere is it's own vibe. Busy chaotic and loud the best best way. Food amazing -- best fries and biscuits and gravy. Service fast and friendly.

So good!! Ordered the fries and also the pork chops. Probably some of the best I’ve ever had. Service was fantastic too. Walk up to order drinks and apps and then sit down service for everything else. Greg was great and kept checking on us the whole time. They were also aware about what was gluten free or not. Would absolutely recommend!

I was very pleasantly surprised by Good Neighbor. Atmosphere: Walking in, it is slightly confusing. There’s an entrance from the street and an entrance from the side patio. The entrance from the side patio is where you’ll want to go because it leads you toward the check in counter whereas the entrance from the street will lead you to the bar and when the bartender tried to direct me to the counter, he was rather vague and I couldn’t tell where I was actually supposed to go. The check in counter is located in the back of the restaurant which seems counterintuitive. Eventually, I figured it out, but I wish maybe there was a sign above the check in counter or something that could lead you to it easier. That’s truly my ONLY gripe about this place. Service: I came in for lunch and the service was quick. I’m unsure how I feel about the cube they put out at the table for service and to pay to make the experience more convenient, but I will say it’s not inconvenient. Food: The food came out fast and was hot and fresh. I ordered the fritto misto and the mushroom pizza. Fritto Misto: I’ve never had a fritto misto before, but all I can say is GET IT. The shrimp was juicy, the calamari was perfectly fried and not rubbery, the leeks, olives, lemons, etc were crispy, everything was seasoned to perfection, and nothing on the plate was soggy. The aioli served on the side for dipping is the perfect pairing. Mushroom pizza: I’ve had my fair share of pizza in downtown sac and this is for sure up there. The crust was baked well and crispy; no burnt or soggy bottoms here. The flavors were rich and reminiscent of french onion soup. Innovative or mindblowing? No, I wouldn’t say so, but it’s certainly delicious and with many local pizza restaurants in sac only specializing in pizza and a few other items, you’d be surprised that this restaurant, with its wide variety in their menu can pull off a pizza that rivals some of the mainstays. Overall, I left my lunch totally satisfied and excited to eat my leftovers. I’ll definitely be coming back to try some other menu items.

Good Neighbor is great fit for the Ice Blocks in space that was Beast & Bounty. This is more casual gathering spot. Food was great! Started with pave fries. I had hanger steak & frites perfectly done. My friends had burger & paparedelle. Everyone was happy. Rob Archie does it again like he did at Pangea & Urban Roots

I went to dinner with two friends and had a great time here. We each had a good cocktail and then we shared a pizza, salad and two shareables. It was the perfect amount of food for three people. I would say the standouts were the pepperoni pizza and the Caesar salad. My least favorite was the frito misto. The arancini were pretty good too. The one bummer was that sitting close to the kitchen was very hot.
