Sacramento’s best brunch is at this 46-year-old downtown pub, readers say

You don’t survive 46 years in downtown Sacramento without doing something right. Fox & Goose Public House, an institution at the R Street Corridor’s mouth since 1975, has the Sacramento region’s best brunch, according to The Sacramento Bee’s readers. Founded by Denise and Bill Dalton and bought by longtime managers Jessa Berkey and Peter Monson in 2015, Fox & Goose has weathered downtown’s changes with an extensive omelet menu and full English breakfasts (also available as a vegetarian option). It’s currently open for patio dining, takeout or delivery via DoorDash at 1001 R St.
