BEST CRAB SANDWICH IN TOWN. I've been having their crab sandwiches since 1982. Made from fresh, real crab. Very expensive, but worth it. Absolutely delicious. $12.95 last time I was there, for just the crab sandwich. 3 sandwiches, ice creams, drinks, it all adds up to about $70 w/ tip. Might as well go have sushi. If it wasn't so... more

After it was revealed that the owners of Leatherby's supported Prop. 8, they got a lot of bad-mouthing from on-line reviewers. However, what they are is a family-run ice cream shop. They are priced above-average, but they certainly give more than generous portions of ice cream. Their soup and sandwiches are average - to be honest most people come here... more

I grew up in Sacramento, and Leatherby's is a tradition. Primarily an old fashioned ice cream parlor, they make the best (and biggest) sundaes around. The food is so-so, but who goes to an ice cream parlor for the sandwiches? I haven't lived in California for many years, but I try to go by whenever I'm in town, and I'm... more

My friends wanted to go to The Cheesecake Factory, but I persuaded them to go to Leatherby's. Little did I know that since Big Daddy Dave Leatherby isn't running things on the day-to-day, everything is different, especially the regard for customers. While waiting to be seated next to the "Please Wait To Be Seated Sign," everyone was walking past us... more
