Hog Canyon Deli - Esparto

I used to work there and let me just say, if I could give negative starts I would. She should be shut down immediately, health code violations left and right! We 'd drop things on the floor and the owner, Tracy would still force us to dust it off to give to the costumer. We used to shred the tri-tip into the sink where we washed our hands. Leave out raw meat for unsafe amounts of hours. We weren 't allowed to throw away moldy or burnt bread, expired vegetables, freezer burnt food, or anything that would waste Ms Tracy 's money, she 'd take off moldy parts and tell us to still use it. There 's a sign in the kitchen that said no food left behind . I don 't recommend goin to this restaurant owned by a crook. Everything was mostly frozen food you deep fry anyways. We never got any breaks and when I asked about breaks my coworkers and the owner laughed in my face. We also never got paid for over time. She said she 'd just buy us lunch but I didn 't want her expired food, I wanted my earned money. The most disgusting disturbing ownership I 've ever seen. She would lie to baby Jesus for a dollar. Always taking advantage of young kids looking for a job who didn 't have courage to stand up to her. Took money from my last check because she didn 't want to rewrite it when I never received it in the mail. Much more I could say, but I feel this is enough to show you what kind of business this con runs. If you don 't believe me just look around or ask anyone who isn 't afraid to speak up.

The best lunch I’ve had is the BLT from Brittany. Thank you for the excellent service! I highly recommend any breakfast or lunch ordered from her.

I don't come to Esparto often, about once every 3 months for my dogs to get a haircut. But every time I do, I stop by Hog Canyon Cafe for biscuits gravy with bacon on top. Sure, the gravy might be microwaved and originating from a packet, I don't know for a fact... but it hits the spot every time. Delicious.

The cheeseburger was incredible! However, the cleanliness left much to be desired. There was dust on the window shades next to our table, and there were flies throughout the restaurant. To make matters worse, I noticed the cook using her vape in the kitchen. It’s time to improve the hygiene, ladies!

I usually avoid making judgments, but my experience with the service here was disappointing. The staff, made up mostly of teenage girls, spent a lot of time gossiping, which led to a 20-minute wait just for my fries. I also noticed a group of teenage skater boys being allowed in the back, which struck me as unsanitary given that they were just outside. Additionally, the employees' attire was rather inappropriate. I wouldn’t recommend wasting your time or money at this place. Service: 1/5 Atmosphere: 1/5.
