Dad’s Kitchen on Freeport Boulevard in Sacramento’s Land Park neighborhood has been a community institution since it opened, serving the kind of honest, scratch-made American diner food that earns a neighborhood its go-to lunch counter one loyal regular at a time. It appeared in Season 11, Episode 8 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “Soup and Sandwiches,” which aired March 7, 2011. Guy Fieri found a Sacramento diner kitchen doing things properly from scratch — house-made soups, hand-formed burgers, and the comfort food that makes a neighborhood lunch counter into a genuine destination.

What to Eat
The Dad’s Burger — hand-formed beef patty with creative house-made toppings — is the comfort food centerpiece that earns its reputation among Sacramento’s Land Park regulars. The House-Made Soups, rotating daily, are the lunch item that sets Dad’s apart from the competition. The Meatloaf Sandwich on toasted bread with house-made gravy is the comfort food hybrid that earns its own devoted following. The Milkshakes, hand-dipped with quality ice cream, are the dessert that closes every proper Dad’s Kitchen meal. Find a Sacramento hotel on Travelocity.
