Evan’s Kitchen – Sacramento Restaurants (part of an occasional series)

(Last UPDATED 1/23/17)  Evans’s Kitchen, located on 57^th Street in the 57^th Street Antique Plaza, is the place to go when you are in the mood for home-style American comfort food.

Prior to attending the B Street Theatre, four of us met at Evan’s Kitchen for dinner.  I had called in advance and made a reservation for 6:00 p.m.  I also requested a booth.

As an interesting aside – the booth we sat in at Evans’s Kitchen was acquired from the old Rosemount Grill, another Sacramento restaurant that was well-known for its comfort food. I have fond memories of the Rosemount Grill.  I am trying to remember what all the long-time Rosemount Grill waitresses called everyone – was it “dearie”?

The building in East Sacramento that previously housed the Rosemount Grill is now home to OBO’ Italian Table and Bar and Kru.

Before I even walked in the door I knew what I was going to order – the chicken-fried steak ($18.50).  The New York strip steak is battered, fried, and topped with county gravy and served with mashed potatoes and vegetables.  I enjoyed every bite and took home leftovers for lunch the next day.

The Prime Rib of Beef is a very popular dish and one of my dining companions opted for the 8 oz. “moms cut” ($20).  The Prime Rib was served with Au Jus, horseradish cream, a baked potato and sautéed vegatables.

Note:  If you are so inclined you can substitute mashed cauliflower for the potatoes.

Two of my dining companions settled on pasta dishes.  One had the Butternut Squash Tortellacci ($19) – oven-roasted squash with Parmesan, provolone, caramelized onions, sage, black pepper and a touch of amaretto in egg pasta which received high marks.

The other had the Jumbo Lobster Ravioli ($24) – large pieces of Maine lobster, ricotta, cream and a lobster reduction in egg pasta, served in a light sherry cream sauce.  The only complaint about that particular dish was that the sauce was too thick.

Garlic bread is served with the pasta dishes, and I would be remiss if I did not note that diners can add soup ($1) and/or salad ($1) to their entrée.

To finish up the four of us shared a Brownie Sundae ($6).  A few bits each was more than sufficient.

Breakfast at Evan’s Kitchen is also a favorite of many.  On weekends you need to arrive early or be prepared to stand in line and wait to be seated.

One of my friends and I already plan to return to Evan’s Kitchen soon for breakfast/brunch.  I think I hear the biscuits and gravy calling me.
