I drove san Jose and SF to Sacramento many times
Favorite stop
Everett and Jones B-B-Q Oakland and Moms in Emeryville or Berkeley. Can’t find moms on line. Moms had no seats take away. mercies and porches lined up double parked on Friday night where all you could do was take a pre-packed dinner a slab and two sides and your choice of spicy sauces.
We don’t have anything close in oceanside CA Nor did we in Sacramento,.
We like to go to Zachary's Pizza, which specializes in thick Chicago-style pizza. The one in Oakland nearest the stadium was too crowded after the game, so we went to the one in San Ramon, near our hotel.
I also like Nation's Giant, a burger chain with an eatery in Berkeley. And several years ago, I found a good Pakistani restaurant on Telegraph Ave. in Berkeley.
On the way north, we like to have lunch at the Dala Horse, a Swedish restaurant in Kingsburg, just south of Fresno. On the way back south, we sometimes eat at the Harris Ranch outside Coalinga, which is famous for its steaks.
