Default Good eats (food) when out on a run in NorCali

Don't know if this will take but how about a thread on good restaurants for a food break when out on a run? My contibutions:

1) Incahoots in Plymouth, Ca. along HWY 49. Ribs are its specialty but lots of other good dishes. Old mining town ambience. $10-$20. Tip: Rib dinner order with a full rack for $24 will feed 4 people.

2) Sutter Creek Palace, Sutter Creek along HWY 49. A bypass has recently gone in so need to take the biz route into town. Diverse menu; great steaks. A little more formal with table cloths. $20 and up.

3) Pelican's Roost, Auburn. Fish & Chips; great clam chowder. $10.

4) Monkey Cat, Auburn. If you want to stop off for a romantic dinner with your girl, try this place. Ain't cheap though; will cost you about $75 for two.

5) Ikeda's, Auburn, just off 80 1 or 2 exits east of HWY49. Great burgers and homemade pies to die for. $5 for a burger; $7+ for a pie. Eat the burger there; take the pie home.

6) V. Sattui Winery, St. Helena; south end of town along 29. One of my favorite roads, HWY 128, ends at 29 just south of Sattui. Cheese & deli shop and slick picnic area. $7 and up for deli sandwich.

7) Hot Dogger, E.St (Just off Richards), Davis. Best hot dogs in NorCali.

The Blue Coyote, 1224 Oak Cir, Arnold, CA 95223
We stopped here a few years back, it had good food and nice people and an eclectic atmosphere. $30 for 2 people if I remember correctly and your lady will probably think its cool. Small parking lot, but more on the street.

Alice's Restaurant, 17288 Skyline Blvd, Woodside, CA 94062 http://alicesrestaurant.com/
This place always has fast cars and bike swarming around it and makes a good rest point while traveling through the Santa Cruz mountains. Reasonable prices and good food keep me going back time after time. Lots of parking, but usually busy.

Whale City Bakery Bar & Grill, Highway 1, Davenport, CA 95017 831-423-9803
Their food is good and reasonable but I don't think they take credit so bring cash (they may have an ATM now but don't quote me). Seating inside and out and lots of parking on both sides of the street.

Camerons Pub, 1410 Cabrillo Hwy S Half Moon Bay, CA 94019 http://www.cameronsinn.com/
The menu is huge and they are very accommodating to car clubs and travelers. They have lots of parking and seating inside and the prices are reasonable as well.

Dave's Giant Hamburgers Fairfield, downtown/north texas st. If you ever make a run around Lake Berryessa its worth ending there for very good burger. Adive: start in either winters or vacaville, loop around the lake via 128 and into napa and get on 121(i think) and head to fairfield.

Ikeda's is good also in Auburn, bunch of z32's did that during the summer.

Its about 5 miles south of Hwy 1 and 84 intersection, and Pescardro rd. is probably one of the best twisty roads in this area...
