Sunflower Drive-In in Fair Oaks

I have been here once before years ago and had my 1st vegan grilled cheese. The grilled cheese was really good. When I came the first time the staff were very warm, welcoming, helpful, and friendly. There were people that drove up from as far as Half Moon Bay and they were regulars. They tried to sell me on the nut tacos but, I had already placed my order. I hadnt been back until now simply because life got in the way. Covid-19 happened after I went and I hadnt thought about it for a while. Lately Ive been eating more plant based and a little pescaterian on occasion so I remembered. Sunflower Drive In... 🤗

I’m not a vegetarian, but I really enjoyed this place. Nut burger is really tasty. It’s hearty and fresh at the same time. I didn’t feel greasy or gross afterwards like I typically do with traditional beef burgers. The blackberry yogurt scoop is super good. Delicious. We’ll return. Limited parking and limited seating. Nice giant wooden table inside. Be prepared to wait a bit (we waited 10 minutes at 11:30am on a Wednesday). It’s worth it.

Parking is a bit tough but I went after the lunch rush and only waited a few minutes. The egg salad sandwich is pretty good. The prices are decent too! Overall I definitely will return.

Vegetarian/vegan bliss.Great service.Wait sometimes long but well worth it.Sandwiches huge!Everything I get from this establishment is made to order, fresh ingredients and very accommodating to your needs. I wish we had more of these around as this is the lone veggie place left in all Sacramento that is actually good.I hope you open more someday as the healthy generation is coming back with the new generation of teenagers and early 20s generation of kids!Thank you for still being here to this day. Your appreciation for good home healthy food is quite evident as a business owner.Anonymous

Best vegetarian place Ive ever eaten. The berry yogurt smoothie is a no sugar added treat. The nut burger is definitely a must. The chili is amazing too. Favorite place to eat.

If I could I would give 10/5 to this place. they have the most most delicious, scrumptious, mouth watering, finger licking nut burgers. You should definitely try this. I can’t stress enough on how yummy the nut burger is but you should be prepared to wait as it is always crowded but definitely worth the wait.

Great lil hole in the wall all-natural food place that has been in Old Fair Oaks since the 70s. Their original nut burger is somewhat bland, but pretty good. I have not tried any of their other food so cant speak to that. However, I did get their chips and salsa for like $1.50 extra and the chips were clearly bagged chips and a bit stale. The salsa portion was extremely small and not very flavorful. So I recommend passing on that.

Excellent plant based nut burger!! I’m guessing there’s sunflower seeds in it and much more delicious falafel like flavors in a whole grain bun with sesame seeds, onions tomato, pickles & green salad mix that’s a large burger for the price of pure yummilucious flavor!!! Now my next comment—when will this wonderful place be open again for business since it’s not mentioned anywhere on the website!! My guess is that they’re remodeling! Please open soon!!

The best NUTBURGER burger on the PLANET ! I am GF DF and lived in Fair Oaks for over 25 years and this is regular grab and go meal for me and my family!

Literally my favorite place in Sacramento. Great spot for vegetarian/vegan food. Very flavorful and good portions for cheap. Tried to get something different every day when I was there, and every item was excellent. I must admit that the service was slow and the people at the window were pretty grumpy, but I the food was worth it.
