I was passing through Sacramento on business and was going to have lunch with a business associate. I always need to pick where we eat because I have Celiac’s Disease and have to eat Gluten-free, which can be frightening to eat out. I found Mendocino Farms online and was so excited by all their gluten free options or items that can be made gluten free. Walking in, we were greeted by such friendly staff and the restaurant is decorated beautifully. There were so many options for me to choose from, I didn’t know what to order. I did get the goat cheese salad with the granny smith apples and hot honey which was a master piece. My associate order the ceasar salad which also looked just as phenomenal. When Chris H brought them to our table we jumped back, not only at the size of the salad, but how beautifully they were arranged. Chris H said he made them himself and what a fine job he did!! They were so large, I took the rest home for dinner. I promised Chris I would thank him for such a delightful lunch and I WILL be back to have the salad my associate had and make this Mendocino Farms location my definite stop for lunch now when in Sacramento! Thanks so much and thanks for all the GF options!

Absolutely phenomenal experience at Mendocino Farms!
The atmosphere was vibrant, clean, and welcoming, and the staff was incredible. Huge shoutout to Rechena S. (cashier) and Chris H. (server) — friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind. Even while sitting down, staff checked in and made us feel welcome.
Despite a busy Monday lunchtime downtown, ordering was quick and smooth. The food was fresh, generous, and packed with flavor — no skimping at all. Our group ordered four different meals and everyone loved theirs.
This is officially one of our new go-to lunch spots. Highly recommend!

The fam and I went to this spot after church. We were feeling good so we wanted to keep that going with good clean food. Soul feed, belly feed. We arrived her after having to walk about 7 blocks but it’s ok, get some juice in the joints. There was this cool blue and white cow, my daughter loved cows so she was super juiced, she is grown but never the mind that lol. The cashier was super kind and since that was our first time going we didn’t know what was good, so the cashier ran things down for us. We order and had to wait for a seat, someone finally cleaned a table and we sit and waited. Once our food came the waiter was a bit rude, so she did not get a tip. The food was bomb, oh!!! My word it was so good, so fresh, so tasty with nice size portions. Man that salad was bomb. I will most diff be going back. Well done guys, well done. Until next week. Lol

My sweet, loving wife, who is also quite picky, and I have always wanted to try this place out, but we’ve never had the chance until today. When we walked in, we were immediately greeted by staff members who offered to give us some insight into the menu. We decided on Chen’s Crispy Rice Salad and the Chicken & Hummus Crunch wrap. Our food did take a little while to come out, but to be fair, it was lunchtime, so that’s usually expected. Upon the arrival of our food, the staff offered us drinks to compensate for the wait, which we thought was very kind. After tasting the dishes, we thought they were very good; however, the chicken wrap wasn’t quite to our liking, as we had expected a grilled wrap. It was good nonetheless, but the staff offered to give us a new dish, and that’s when we decided on the “Not so Fried” chicken sandwich. That sandwich was honestly amazing. We can see why it’s a popular pick for sure. Overall this was a great experience for our first time here. A special mention to all the staff who ensured our experience was a pleasant one. We will definitely be coming here in the future!

Perfect for lunch with friends and coworkers! The manager Chris is so friendly, remembers our names, and makes us feel so welcome 🙂 I love the seasonal offerings because there’s always something new to try. But you also can’t go wrong with the Not So Fried Chicken sandwich!!

Came here for lunch and wow, delicious and amazing that I had to go back. I got the NOT SO FRIED Chicken sandwhich first…which is delicious and comes with a dipping sauce that you can spread on each bite….I recommend the tangy bbq sauce. Then they have great teas and lemonades that are all fresh….the guava lemonade is delicious. Then I went back to get a salad and just as good if not better! The service is friendly and fast…you can order ahead online, but if you walk in they take care of you right away. They have a lot of places to sit if you want to dine in.
