Dining Guide

For a totally tubular flashback to the era that brought us big hair and even bigger boom boxes, ride your hoverboard over to this new restaurant tucked in an unassuming strip mall in Rancho Cordova, where movie posters from classics like The Goonies and Pretty in Pink line the walls, a Ms. Pac-Man machine beeps in the corner and MTV music videos play on flat screens. The menu skews toward themed American comfort food, including a plate of mini doughnuts called The Police and the “Where’s the Beef” Tri-Tip Salad, which you can wash down with Tab cola or a “Time Warp” milkshake like the E.T. concoction with Reese’s Pieces. After you drink in the nostalgia, don’t forget to browse the assortment of throwback wearables and collectibles for sale, like Michael Jackson trading cards and Back to the Future Part II solar shades.
