“We are in town from the east coast on business and was told Guantonios was a must. Drove an hour to check it out and was not disappointed! Best meal I have had all year. 10/10”
“This is just the sweetest, charming and delicious place. We love it here. The scones are amazing, the teas are tasting and it's a lovely atmosphere.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Been a while since I'd been in... But my Blue Burger and Blue fries were even better than I remembered. I'm not a big beer drinker, but the hard cider on tap was excellent...!! I got a growler to go.”
“An absoulety gorgeous winery. All the staff were informative and welcoming. There is many indoor or outdoor seating and a small childrens play area. Endless wine and beautiful scenery. You could easily spend the day. Bring your own food or you can buy food there.”
“Very relaxing atmosphere. We enjoyed the concert. The staff is very helpful and friendly. I was worried about using their porta potties but they had staff constantly cleaning them and restocking supplies. Their wine is delicious. They have good food trucks as well. Will be back!”

“So tired of paying big bucks for food that tastes like cardboard. But California Al’s did not disappoint. Absolutely the best burger in Lodi❗️ Large portions, EXCELLENT flavor. Fresh handmade burger patty with all the trimmings. Great service as well, waitress was very attentive and personable. Saw people with huge breakfast platters as well, everything looked amazing. My new favorite place❣️”
“Love seeing more Latino owned shops pop up in Lodi! The options were plentiful and incorporate Mexican culture very elegantly. I had the iced Cafe de Olla and it had a nice burst of flavor. Plus, I loved the Atmosphere and decor. My friend and I stopped by for takeout but I would love to visit again and relax while enjoying my coffee. I’ll be back!”
“First off, the workers are very nice they gave me a good recommendation and food came out quick. The food was a little bit cold but very flavorful and good portions. There was some random loud noises from idk where but otherwise they have very good service, food. And quality.”
“Komachi is ALWAYS the best place to go around San Joaquin Valley for sushi and other Japanese Cuisine. Their prices are right, the portions are great, the quality is always on point, the service is phenomenal and the flavor is second to none in SJC! The family-owned business has earned multiple awards year after year, and it only takes one visit to see why! Go try it out, and try the Starfire Roll, my personal favorite! I like to add Lemon on top, just my preference. Thanks Komachi!”

“This place was phenomenal especially for the price big scoops of protein lots of options. The price had gone up and the scoops have gotten smaller. Rewards are hot and miss I have spent $70 and received one point but they don’t tel you that. Of you have multiple bowls to multiple transactions. Also I did a Instagram promotion and they changed their mind and I lost my reward 🙄. Staff is always late teens young adults mostly nice some are better than others. Still a solid place .”
“I had the bistro filet and my wife had the steak diane. both were cooked, seasoned, and plated beautifully. the service was excellent and we weren't rushed at all. this is an awesome hidden gem of Lodi. make the reservation, it's well worth it.”
“What a great meal and experience!!! We had the Ramen and a Salmon Bento box, and the fried ice cream!!! Fresh and perfectly prepared. We will be back regularly!!! Thank you so much!”

“Harney Lane Winery is a splendid little place to stop and enjoy time with your loved one, friends, or family—and you can even bring your canine companions along. We especially loved the outdoor seating area, which feels like a peaceful forest oasis nestled among the surrounding vineyards and orchards.
It’s a beautiful spot to relax, unwind, and simply enjoy the day. We also appreciated that they offer coffee for those who might not be in the mood for wine. The staff was exceptionally friendly and welcoming, and the wine itself was excellent.
We highly recommend Harney Lane Winery for a visit any time of the year.”
“I devoured that lamb/beef gyro so fast I almost choked on inhaling the lettuce. I should've taken a picture of the food, but I was too excited 🤣👌 I bought a #9 and their chicken salad, both were $10.99 each without soda or fries. I had to take the salad home because the gyro was a good-sized portion.
Man, the way that a/c and quiet atmosphere felt from the heat outside, and then the deli counter brought my food to me- what a perfect spot for a quick lunch on the weekday. Tons of booths to sit in and it was clean and spacious.
The woman's bathroom had paper towels, soap, and it was clean. Thank you.”
“I would have given 5 stars but there was a lack of seating. I went there with a female friend and we had an ok time. We went on a Saturday night at 10pm and there were about seven people there. We had no place to sit so we stood at the bar. The bartender was AMAZING! I had a lot of fun with him. He made great drinks, made us laugh and even threw ice at me in a kidding way. It was so much fun. The drinks are a bit over priced and the dance floor is small. Ladies be aware of the drunk single men. There was a guy that was being very agressive with my friend. She told him no three times and he could not take a hint. His friend had to pull him away. Other than that the music was great! I think they have a better dj than Ollie's. No disrepect, they just played better music. I just really wish the dance floor was bigger. The crowd came in around 12:30am and then started getting fun at 1:30am and then shut down at 2:00am. There is a little oitdoor spot to hang out at but barely anybody was there. Oh yes, the bathrooms are 100% better than ollies. There are two stalls and a mirror. The locks work and the bathrooms are clean. I don't why people came so late. Overall, if you want a fun place to dance with a great bartender and music, this is the spot.”
“By far the best taco truck in Lodi. The food is always so flavorful and the salsas are next level. The birria, tacos, and quesadilla are my favorites. The tortillas are far superior to other Lodi taco trucks. The service is top notch as well. They are always friedly. I love that I can order ahead as well on DoorDash for pick up or have it delivered.”
“My family has been going here ever since I can remember! I love this place so much, and it is such a comfort food to me. We usually get the string bean chicken (all-time favorite), general chicken, house chow mein, and have recently been going for the sesame chicken. Definitely eat in if you have the chance, the service is wonderful and the food is so so good. I like the Dinner plates, which come with pork fried rice, chicken chow mein, egg flower soup, and whatever main you choose. It's such a fantastic value the portions are huge!! We recently tried the beef fu yung, and it was so yummy!! Definitely will get again!”
“Pay yourself in sushi! Here's why...
See, I've been told by an esquire, that when you budget, you pay yourself first, before the other required expenses. Sooooo, I pay myself with sushi sometimes. This is acceptable, yeah, cuz either I try to save $25, which would eventually get spent anyway, or use it on something valuable.
The value of sushi or sashimi with vegetables, is that it contains your alphabet Vitamins A, B, C, and D; plus, the greatly beneficial Omega-3. In addition to those benefits, getting a bento box combo with chicken gives you more protein for building muscle. This array of vitamins and protein sources provides satiety. It's an ideal meal for gym goers and maybe health enthusiasts; or like me a part-time dog walker.
Alright, now that you've heard me out and possibly have known all this before, then, yeah have brunch, lunch, or dinner here at Matsuyama. They're conveniently located around the corner from the gym. Perfect for you! ...and also, it beats having to look for a different parking space. Just walk, you know. The shopping plaza has a great coffee shop too.
Once they open, it's nice and quiet so you get fast service with individualized attention. They're calm and check on you frequently enough. Simple conversation, and a peaceful meal; peaceful like it would be on a pine mountain (Matsuyama).”
“Lovely owner gracious and knowledgeable . I’ve been wine tasting for some years and she still taught me something new that I didn’t know. Good variety of wines and some that other area wineries don’t create.”
“The Phantom of the Opera event was my first time at Harmony. The intention, beauty and creativity layered into to the art, wine and music made the whole night feel a bit magic. I felt like I’d been invited into the home of a family who’s created an incredibly beautiful life. I’m already excited for next month!”

“Review for non-drinkers. Fun stop to taste some goat cheese. Our favorite is the Camembert, Roasted Garlic & Dill, and surprisingly the Lemon Creme Chevre. Fun staff and beautiful farm decor.”

“Amazing service, friendly and chill environment, the staff is always friendly and make me laugh, always a great start to my day! I get the Java Rush shake with coffee swirl and the peach mango tea, but there’s tons of different, delicious, and healthy choices of shakes and teas! 10/10 recommend for all your meal replacement needs!”
“No matter what you order everything is so delicious. I recommend when they have weekly specials you try it because you won’t go wrong. Their soups are to die for!! There have been specials that I have had that they end up being my favorites when they are not on special. The food they serve is just like momma cooked yummy!!”
“I ordered online and picked up in the store. Funny thing is I just told them my name … “Cherie with a C”. They pulled a pizza with my
Name on it and I walked out. All easy right? Haha I looked at the pizza on the seat next to me in the car and it didn’t look right. After a couple closer looks I took it back k inside and told them I must have the wrong pizza and the nice person agreed. He took the pizza to the pizza making area and started remaking it. I sat on the bench waiting area and a nice lady sitting waiting and I had a little chat. When they called her “Cheryl” I commented “oh my names almost the same. It’s Cherie”. She said “actually they said it wrong mine is Cherie with a C.” I said oh mine too!!
So I guess that’s how they got my order wrong. What are the odds two of us ordering pizzas for Cherie with a C.”
“This place was so cute, the atmosphere and the people were old school. The food was amazing. And even the customers that were most likely regulars, were so sweet making chit chat with my son and complimenting him. The portions were huge and the food was reasonably priced.”
“My wife and I went to China a few years back. We had an awesome trip! One of the best trips of my life.”
“Friendly bartenders, good drinks. Would go back. Had more Jameson than Ive seen anywhere else. Told they make a trip back to Ireland every year and bring back what they find..”

“If you are looking for some really good tacos, or burritos. This is the spot. I got beef,shrimp,pork,and chorizo, and man honestly some of the best I have ever had. I got a burrito? For later, and had to least take a bite of it too, and man make sure u get it super. I will definitely be back.”
“When I moved out of state for five years Dragon Lite was the only place I thought of at least monthly. I’ve been going there for 20 years and the quality has never wavered. Lemon Chicken with extra sauce, steamed rice, and fried asparagus 10/10 you’ll never have anything better. Family owned and Operated, they only take one day off a week. It’s a quiet little hole in the wall, perfect for take out.”
“So great to work with. I needed a tank that was out of stock and they looked around to find me one at a shop in the bay area. Just really good customer service!”
“Excellent food, stellar drinks, and amazing service! Adam behind the bar made the night— engaging, friendly, and knows his craft. Brick House is a must-visit in Lodi!”

“Our band recently had the incredible opportunity to play at Idol Beer Works, and it was an absolute blast! Not only does Idol Beer Works boast an amazing brewery, but it also stands as the best music venue in the Central Valley. The atmosphere was electric, with a perfect blend of craft beer enthusiasts and music lovers coming together to create an unforgettable experience. The staff was friendly and accommodating, ensuring that both the performers and the audience had a seamless and enjoyable time. The sound quality was top-notch, allowing our music to resonate with the crowd in all its glory. We were truly impressed by the attention to detail in creating a space that celebrates both beer and live music. If you're looking for a place that combines exceptional brews with a vibrant music scene, Idol Beer Works is an absolute must-visit. Cheers to an unforgettable night of music and great beer! 🍻🎶 #IdolBeerWorks #CentralValleyMusicScene #CraftBeerMagic”
“I was pleasantly surprised with the food here and now I know why there’s always at least one customer in line when we drive by! Well, it would’ve been 5 stars if I didn’t get terrible diarrhea after lol! ? I’m always eating spicy and ethnic food too, so it’s safe to say it’s probably this place. Still kinda worth it tho and I want to try it again.
We tried all these for around $20! (cash only btw):
* Carne asada, birria, al pastor tacos
* Al pastor burrito
* Pupusa
My partner didn’t like the way their Al pastor tastes, but luckily I did. Tacos are solid, my favorite was the carne asada! The burrito is hefty. The ingredients were all over the place tbh and it was tough to get through huge patches of only sour cream cheese LOL (not captured in my pics). And sadly a lot of space was taken up by tortilla folds too. But I liked it a lot.
The pupusa was unpleasant to me, but my partner ate it fine. Kinda tastes like a dry tamale. Very different from Cuban pupusas! Came with a little plastic wrap pouch of pickled pepper veggies and stuff.”
“What a wonderful hidden gem tucked away inside a winery!
I first discovered this café by chance, and it has quickly become one of my favorite breakfast spots. The setting is peaceful, charming, and surrounded by the beautiful atmosphere of the winery, making it the perfect place to slow down and enjoy a relaxing morning.
The French toast is hands down one of the best I’ve ever had. It has a rich, buttery texture and an amazing eggy flavor that makes every bite incredibly satisfying. You can tell that great care goes into preparing the food. What truly makes the dish unforgettable, however, is their homemade strawberry jam. It is fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced—not overly sweet like many commercial jams. Even now, it’s something I still find myself thinking about long after my visit.
Beyond the French toast, the quality of the ingredients really stands out. Everything tastes fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and made with attention to detail. The portions are generous, the presentation is beautiful, and the prices are more than fair for the quality you receive.
The staff are always friendly and welcoming, creating a warm and comfortable environment that makes you want to stay a little longer. Whether you’re looking for a quiet breakfast, a weekend brunch, or simply a great cup of coffee with delicious food, this place delivers.
I’ve enjoyed it so much that it has become part of my weekly routine, and I now come here almost every Sunday for breakfast. It’s one of those rare places that consistently exceeds expectations, and I’m always happy to recommend it to friends and family.
If you’re in the area, don’t miss this hidden treasure. You’ll leave already looking forward to your next visit.”
“I can't believe it's been 2 years since I started ordering from Frosted Flour! I usually get at least 5 or 6 cakes every year for my kids' birthdays and other special occasions, and they are always a big hit! My sister even loved their cakes so much that she ordered one for her wedding. I truly can't recommend them enough—hands down the best cakes around!”
“I’d give service above 5 as it is always the best!!!!
Especially the service that Alejandra, Lilly, Elis and Brianna render!!! EVERY single time we’ve visited this IHOP restaurant, we are greeted with a smile and such a warm welcome . These ladies treat us as if we are family and not just patrons, their attitude and behavior shows how much they ENJOY what they do😊
We have visited IHOP restaurants when we travel, and although we receive good service, however, nothing compared to our visits at our “home” IHOP!!
Needless to say, we will continue to support and visit THIS restaurant!!!!”
“Snowhite Drive-In is one of those places that reminds you why classic burger stands never go out of style.
After spending the afternoon exploring Lodi Lake, we made the short trip across the street and were instantly greeted by the nostalgic charm that has made Snowhite a local favorite for generations. The outdoor seating under the iconic red Coca-Cola umbrellas creates the perfect setting to relax and enjoy a meal, especially on a warm Lodi day.
I ordered the Super Cheeseburger, and it absolutely delivered. Two juicy patties, crisp lettuce, fresh toppings, and plenty of flavor packed into every bite. It was filling, delicious, and exactly what you hope for from an old-school burger spot. We also tried the mozzarella sticks, which were hot, crispy, and a great addition to the meal. My dad went with a lettuce-wrapped cheeseburger, proving there’s something here for everyone.
The real surprise was the pineapple shake. Cold, refreshing, creamy, and packed with flavor, it was the perfect way to cool down after a day outdoors.
What I love most about Snowhite is that it doesn’t try to be trendy. It knows exactly what it is: a classic American drive-in serving great burgers, shakes, and comfort food in a friendly atmosphere. Whether you’re heading to Lodi Lake, passing through town, or simply craving a great burger and shake, Snowhite is a place that’s well worth the stop.
A true Lodi classic that continues to get it right. I’ll definitely be back. 🍔🍟🥤🌴”
“5 stars!! Phenomenal fresh & tasty seafood!!! Most unsuspecting of locations. They bring it every time!!! We'll be back.”
“Every month I have to come to Lodi for a doctor's appointment, and after the doctor, a nice treat (7 Mares) before going back to Calaveras County. The best in the west.”
“Unfortunately, it’s the best kept secret in town and it shouldn’t be a secret because this place I want to see succeed. The food is spot on she nails it every time. The food is not overpriced and the portions are huge. Normally, I can never finish and I get to lunch the next day from the leftovers. If you haven’t tried it, you’re missing out and if you have tried it, share it with your friends let’s help these local businesses succeed because they are deserving of your patronage. I can’t say enough good about it. I could highly recommend you try them.”

Their handcrafted syrups make each seasonal latte truly unique, and they proudly serve Moschetti Artisan Coffee—the smoothest, most flavorful coffee around.”
“they had quite a few games that I loved playing growing up like: mortal kombat, Air hockey, skee ball & a godzilla pinball game! I was like a kid in a candy shop! drinks were reasonably priced! wished I had started my birthday celebration there! Kellan at the door was super nice!”
