Bites Nearby: The Original Red Onion

You could stand on a corner and look around until a restaurant sign draws you in. But we've got a better idea. Each week, Suisun City Patch picks a great restaurant either in town or nearby that is worth checking out. Here's this week's choice:

The Original Red Onion in Vallejo combines a diner style menu with flame broiled burgers, onion rings and garlic fries, turkey sandwiches, patty melts, savory pastas, hefty breakfast platters and more.

This spacious restaurant also houses A Sweet Side, operated by executive pastry chef Karl Fong, who is most famous for his red velvet cakes and tiramisu dessert. Fong's creations are unique, delectable, creative and have earned him great praise from his customers.

The Original Red Onion is located at 1321 Springs Rd. Open Sunday through Monday from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Meal prices vary.
