Best Kid Friendly Restaurants in Citrus Heights

Bucca is always a solid choice. Nothing that rates spectacular, but then you go for comfort and consistency and hearty fare. It’s got a fun vibe, (I like being walked through the kitchen)it’s great for a family event or a date night, but prepare for family style portions - I would recommend lunch (before 3pm) when the menu is more like a normal lunch place , not such huge portions . You’ll spend less and come away satisfied. Dinner is good for larger groups - helps to decide what enter will be shared. The didn’t meatball is delish, by the way. The souvenir photo thing is cute, but be prepared to feel that twinge of guilt for not wanting to buy all the pics they’ll take- you’ll see them later in a frame with a price tag attached (the postcard -sized photo that’s complimentary is small ) - we opted for them all but you may want to skip it. Personal choice. Pasta is delicious, cooked perfectly, good service, attentive - errors are made up for, no one gets defensive, they simply fix the problem, apologize and often that item is comped. Everybody’s happy. Note: they stopped playing the conversational soundtrack in the restrooms, which is disappointing, and the Caesar salad no longer comes with anchovies or lemon wedges ( why ??) but is still tasty . Four solid stars.

We made last minute reservations at 1 pm on Father's Day. What really impressed us was how well-run everything was on a popular day. The servers were working very hard and very efficiently. We received our food promptly, and it was warm. Our server was friendly despite being so busy. I think I saw the manager helping out at the tables, which is always nice to see. When a restaurant does a good job on a popular holiday, that really says something to me.

Pretty good place with lots of good options for beer and a fun environment.

Short staffed, but everyone was very nice and attentive.

You can pretty much expect good service and food at BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse. Once again, we were not disappointed with our dinner (each had a sharable appetizer). The atmosphere was a bit hectic, but expected as much on a Friday evening. Would certainly return to this place.
