This place was bustling at 4:45pm! I’m glad I made reservations in advance. The service was fast and friendly. I ordered the Chicken and Sausage Gumbo with a side salad. I thoroughly enjoyed the meal and the atmosphere. This area looks nicely revitalized. I decided to try this place because it is right around the corner from The Guild Theater. This restaurant did not disappoint. I highly recommend it for soul food.

We stopped by on our way to a concert . Food was very good and the service was excellent. There were four of us and we had a pretty good sampling from the menu: fried deviled eggs (not my fave), artichoke dip, fried green tomatoes, smothered chicken, chicken and waffles, and fried catfish. We all got different sides so we could sample. Simply delicious and hit the spot like good soul food should. Also, very hip and upbeat atmosphere.

We came here for my mom’s birthday on Valentine’s Day, and everything about the night was great. The service was spot on from the moment we walked in. This was my third visit, but it was my family’s first time, and they all left impressed.
We ordered the fried green tomatoes, blackened tofu, oxtails, gumbo, and chicken and waffles. Every dish was full of flavor and came out perfectly cooked. There wasn’t a single complaint at the table.
They even brought out plates so we could serve my mom’s birthday cake, which was such a thoughtful gesture and really added to the celebration.
Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we’ll definitely be back.

Fixins is a great place to go. There’s great vibes & great energy. I went for my birthday 2.11.72 to treat myself to a simple birthday lunch. The food, music, people, service, drinks, atmosphere, & the connection to cultural roots and SOULFOOD. I had fish nuggets, hush puppies, mac & cheese, candied yams, and a sparkling wine to celebrate “ME” . FIXINS is one of the best Soul Food restaurants in the Sacramento/North Valley area. “YESSS!!!”
They know what they’re double & they do it quite well…

What are you doing tonight? You should be ‘Fixin’ to get a plate’! My first visit lived up to the hype. I went on a Sunday afternoon. The service was friendly and fast! We only waited 10 minutes for our food. I recommend the Red beans & rice, greens, and the waffles & a wing. For drinks, try the Sac Town Mango Lemonade. It is smooth and tasty! They have dessert options as well. Banana Pudding, Peach Cobbler, and Red Velvet Cake. Plus, a kids menu and kool-aid! Eating at Fixins was reminiscent of eating grandma’s food on a Sunday afternoon. Don’t forget to book a reservation for a more enjoyable experience.

Had to check out the highly rated and reviewed Fixings Soul Kitchen in Sacramento, CA. We made a reservation so there wasn’t a wait. I overheard that the wait time was 25 minutes not bad for a Saturday around lunch time. We ordered the deep fried eggs, Gumbo added shrimp, chicken and waffle, fried fish with corn fritters, charred okra (no bacon) and macaroni and cheese. The deep fried eggs were 1 out of 5. The filling was the only problem and what led to the dislike from everyone at the table The gumbo was also a miss. The dish was not gumbo. The roux tasted like and had the texture of gravy. The dish was chicken, sausage, and shrimp with gravy over rice. Tasted good but is not gumbo. As a gumbo rated a 1 out of 5. As meat served with gravy over rice rated a 4 out of 5. The chicken was fried and seasoned well. The waffle with grape butter had a great taste. The waffle was good solo as well as with the chicken. The fried fish was good and seasoned well. The charred okra was good minus the larger pieces that were too tough to chew entirely. The macaroni cheese wasn’t cheesy but had a fairly good taste and was seasoned well. The corn fritters were okay not a lot of flavor but cooked well. The lemonade was super sweet. The place was packed and busy with good service. Not overly friendly but consistent. Would return and try some different food or menu items.
