“Only bar I know of around you can smoke a cigar/cigarette in. They do not have full booze, but last Saturday of the month are a great time with James Day piano man.”
“Food was 10/10. Service was great even though they were packed. Don't expect to get seated right away but trust that it is worth the wait! They have an amazing natural wine selection that you can drink while you wait for your table, which makes the experience all the more enjoyable. We liked it so much we went back again the next night. Will definitely be back again!”
“Had breakfast with family while visiting Lodi. The food is delicious, and the serving sizes were large. Will have a great lunch with the leftovers. The dining area is tight, but there is outside dining available.”
“MBistro is a great place for sushi lovers in Lodi/Stockton. The atmosphere is nice, and the service is excellent. Their food is delicious, especially because their fish tastes really fresh. The sushi rolls are full of different flavors, and the nigiri shows off the tasty fish. Every dish is made with a lot of care, making sure you have a meal that you'll remember and enjoy. It can be pricy but it’s worth it!”
“Intercoastal Winery is the diamond in the rough! A must visit when in the Lodi area. The wines are superbly crafted by the wine maker (Mitch) and the front of the house is run by Rochelle who is warm, friendly and knowledgeable. The staff makes you feel like your home with friends .The Chardonnay is flavorful and buttery, this one changed my mind about whites! You definitely cannot go wrong with any of their reds.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Me and my mother came in and I had the biscuits and gravy meal and my mother had eggs Benedict. The biscuits were small but amazing but the gravy was flavorless which was a shame, but my mother dish was one of the best I've had. I'd order that for sure. Only suggestions I'd have is make the biscuits larger and redo the gravy(more flavor and sausage). The place is amazing and looks like a 50's cafe.”
“DOGGY BAG ?Never fails to impress me. Meagan was great. Food fresh & delicious. Wine impeccable. We overlooked the majestic vineyards instead of walking the prestigious grounds due to some flooding. Still a beautiful sight nonetheless ? Spring we miss you!”
“Met Greg today when were celebrating a 96 birthday for my father in law. Staff reserved a table inside for the 9 of us and tasting service was fun and thoughtful. Ended up buying a fee bottles. We'll probably be back.”
Restaurants with Delivery
“Just had dinner at India Cafe. Loved the food. My Brother in law and I had the Shrimp Balti spicy and Goat Rogan Josh. They were both really good. My wife and other cousins had kadai paneer, shahi paneer, baingan bharta, malai kofta and dal makhani and all were very good. The Tandoori roti, garlic naan, chicken tikka naan, butter naan were all very good too. From the dessert, the gajar halwa and gulab jamun were really good. Malai kulfi, kheer, Ras malai were OK.”
“Don't walk, run. Most authentic curry I've had in North America, sack off them boring maccys. Dudes are legends, unbelievable food and the samosa chaat is next ”
“My son Gunther and I have been loyal patrons of this charming diner for years now, and it's become a cherished part of our routine. The staff here has a remarkable way of making us feel like we're dining among friends, especially when it comes to their interactions with Gunther. What initially began as a one-time visit has since evolved into a heartwarming tradition of frequenting this establishment.The genuine warmth and kindness exhibited by the staff towards Gunther have left an indelible mark on us. They've created an atmosphere where he feels not just welcomed but genuinely valued. It's heartening to see him form a connection with the staff, turning every visit into a delightful experience.From that very first visit, we knew we had discovered a gem. And with each subsequent meal, our appreciation has only grown. This diner has become more than just a place to eat; it's a place where lasting memories are made. Kudos to the wonderful staff who have turned us into devoted regulars. We look forward to many more years of delightful dining experiences here.Kid-friendliness: My son Gunther absolutely loves this place and the staff. Gunther feels so close to the staff that he asks every weekend if we can go back and visit “uncle Al””
“Manal our server was amazing! Her customer service is outstanding. She took our order without writing anything down and remembered everything! I cannot express how much the great service we received to made my heart smile! Thank you!”
“Excellent Italian foods! Great tasty portion& easy parking. We went for lunch on a Tuesday around 1pm and the restaurant was still full of guests. There was no waiting as we were seated right away. Love the special of the day “salad” with oranges and grapefruits served with cheese and croutons. It was juicy, fresh and tasty. Their special pizza was sprinkled with very fine “angel hair” shredded cheese. Our favorite was the pappadelle: Ragu pasta & oxtail.”
“I had my first experience at Swirl’d today and it was such a good one! I got the Macademia Nut and it was delicious! It’s my new favorite ice cream!The staff was so kind and friendly and the atmosphere had a fun 50’s feel to it. I will be coming back and I will be recommending it!”
“Food was fresh with healthy portions. A couple new takes on old faves. Wish they let people know more about the different options of baklava because my girlfriend and I were pleasantly surprised. Please know this isn't fast food. It's fresh food. If ordering the falafel, it will take extra minutes because they form and fry fresh when ordered. The tzatziki is loaded and not runny. I don't know what they're spice blend is on thier fries, but I'm here for it!Oh, and give those dolmas a try. Lovely!!!Vegetarian options: Honestly this menu is mostly vegetarian and they even indicate they can make a sauce vegan if needed. Extremely vegan friendly. And for non vegans it's still a tasty option so everyone can be happy.Dietary restrictions: The menu is very, very healthy and flavorful. I encourage people to give it a chance if you haven't yet.Parking: Parking is available and shared with other stores nearby. What's available may change depending on how busy the grocery store is, but overall should be good.Wheelchair accessibility: Similar to the grocery store, there's accessible parking and ramp area near enough to get in easy enough. The tables a WC friendly too, which should be nice for those who need it.”

“I 100% feel like I have been cheated out. The last 4 years of living super close to here I have never gotten food here. It is a little hole in the wall but it hands down blew mine and my family away. The mix pizza was on point and the chicken Tikka combo was delicious. I haven't had amazing food like this in a while. There is another location here in Lodi but it is across town and more expensive. Hands down the quality of food is superb and the flavors are fantastic. 10/10 we will be going back and I think my oldest child has vowed to return for more of the delicious food.”

“Cute little coffee shop! I had seen great Yelp reviews so I decided to try. I ordered the churro latte and it was super sweet and delicious! I recommend for someone who really enjoys sweet drinks. The whipped cream and caramel were great touches. The cups were adorable as well. The girl that was working was super kind and friendly! Highly recommend trying and supporting local business :)”
“03/02/2024. This was the first time I have tried Thai food. I picked up orders of Pad Broccoli, Garlic Noodle, Avocado Salad, Satay Chicken, and Egg Rolls. Everything was very good. The Pad Broccoli had a lot of vegetables. The Garlic Noodle, I thought could have had more noodles. The Avocado Salad had a good number of avocados slices. Next time I might need to double order the Satay Chicken and Egg Rolls. I would like to try other things next time, but I am not sure what some of the stuff is. The dining area looked small. The customer service was good and friendly. The spicy hot oil was very hot, and I will not be using that the next time.”
“Super cute little spot. Perfect for lunch and in downtown, so you can stop for a bite before or after shopping. Not too expensive, spent 50 for a family of 4 on sandwiches and smoothies. Better than Subway and it looks like it's family owned. #supportsmallbusinessesKid-friendliness: Kids menu”
“Best French dip sandwich I have ever had! The flavor was exceptional, service was quick, and the staff was extremely friendly. That classic family deli atmosphere. Highly recommend.”
“I was hungry and I was looking for a new place to eat. I came across Tin Roof and I'm so glad I did. I ordered the BBQ fried chicken sandwich and the chicken was tender and juicy. I got the hot and it wasn't super hot just a good heat. I grabbed a side of garlic fries and those were on point with loads of garlic. AMAZING FOOD! I will be back to try them ribs!”
“Fresh ingredients, quick service, nice staff! What more can u ask for!? We had a Hawaiian, but I've had many different ones there! All great!Vegetarian options: U can build your own!Parking: U have a lot of areas to park but it gets busy around 5/6pm kinda far from parking garage unless u want to walk off dinner or just enjoy a nice walk around downtown!Kid-friendliness: Been going there since it opened & my daughter only ate cheese pizza...Wheelchair accessibility: Single level”
“Amazing! From the receptionist to the food! we got a table as soon as we walked in… no wait! Drinks and food were served immediately! My husband and I have been looking for a good sushi place in Lodi, we’ve been to them all but Komachi is a showstopper!!! THIS IS OUR NEW FAV PLACE. Would recommend 10/10 definitely coming back. Thank you for this amazing experience… we tried the Golden shrimp roll, UOP roll, and Yellow Submarine roll! (THEY WERE ALL TO DIEEEE FOR.)”

“It's been a while since I've been here but once again, it did not disappoint! Brought 3 new friends with me and they loved it as well! Great selection of beer, cool ambience, and lots of fun swag. This is definitely a place I'll continue to recommend when visiting the Lodi area!”
“Only bar I know of around you can smoke a cigar/cigarette in. They do not have full booze, but last Saturday of the month are a great time with James Day piano man.”
“I use to belong to about 20 wine clubs the last couple years I've dropped them all but this one. First and what's most important in a winery is great wine. Next the staff is awesome. The ambience is great. Not as opulent as some of the Sonoma/Napa/ Paso Robles tasting rooms but beautiful grounds to enjoy a fabulous glass of their wine. But top of my list is the Family , my beautiful friend Kathy the matriarch, her daughter Jorja, and always smiling son-in law Kyle make you feel like you are part of their family. Even when medical issues made me quit drinking wine for a while I kept my membership and gifted wine to friends. This will always be a keeper for me.”
“Excellent place, very cozy, excellent and very friendly staff, delicious coffee ☕ I wish it were open from Monday to Sunday we will return soon if God allows it, thank ”

“Wow, now this place has amazing chicken. Not only was the food good but the prices are great! Generous portions given and quality food. Must try when you are in Lodi! The whole chicken with rice and beans is a great deal!!!! Staff was warm and welcoming & has a family owned restaurant feel.”

“I have always had good service and my frozen yogurt has been great,no complaints.Dietary restrictions: It's something I can have when I'm craving something cold and sweet and I never gain weight and it's really good and the owners are very nice and friendly.”
“My friends and I had a memorable time at Harmony. We thoroughly enjoyed talking with Shaun, the winemaker, and hearing about his journey. The wines were delicious and you can tell they are a labor of love. The organ is fascinating. I would definitely come back here often if I lived closer, especially to check out their silent movie nights. Visit this winery for laid-back vibes, great conversation and top-notch zins. I look forward to cracking open my bottle of pipedreams for that special occasion.”
“10/10 recommend! So glad we tried it. The meat is perfectly seasoned/flavored, cooked and lean. I wish more Mexican food was quality like this! No fat chunks in the asada and it looks and tastes like it's actually grilled (not stewed like other places). Even the toppings tasted and looked fresh, juicy ripe limes and fresh cilantro. Had the asada fries, carnitas burrito and barbacoa tacos. LOVED everything! The space is a little small but most people get food to-go or eat quick and don't sit around so there's tables available.”
“Definitely hit the spot. The outside area is super nice And has lots of tables. The service was great and the veggie burger did not disappoint. I would definitely go back”
“Friendly people. Easy to find. If you need a specific yeast, you might want to order ahead. They don’t keep much shelf stock but can get a fresh batch delivered.”
“Great service and even better Wine and Cider. I've never been a huge Cider fan, but Scotto's has convinced me otherwise! Very clean, modern and inviting atmosphere. Great for sitting back with friends and/or family and having a beverage together. They also have TVs above the bar area to watch a game, which I love. Highly recommend!”

“Lovely dinner. Food is British with a hint of Indian inspiration. This was a birthday dinner - service, drinks and food was perfect. My fiance is difficult to please and this is his new favorite local restaurant.”
“It's a 40 year birthday miracle! 40 DELICIOUS crunchy tacos made in less than 20 minutes. After our party bus broke down wine tasting, cheese and crackers weren't going to cut it. This team put together a fantastic feast with all the accoutrements- guacamole, beans, and delicious salsas.I ordered, picked up, and had the food at the winery in 20 minutes. These people were amazing and helped keep the party vibes going after what could have been a real downer. Thank you to the team at El Maguey. People honestly said they were the best crunchy tacos they ever had- crispy, tasty salsa, and the right ratio of meat and toppings.Normally you don't want the word to get out too much for gems like this however I'm not in Lodi ever, so if I come back I hope their business is booming and they're still turning out amazing food. Great people, great service, great food.”
“I was in the area working and I was in the mood for a good Kebab, something fresh I stumbled on this place on Google maps and decided to give them a try.I came in and it's inside of a market I went and I ordered the lamb and beef gyro ordered it paid for it took it to go there's tables and stuff you could sit down and eat your food over there but I took it to go anyway the food was good had a kick to it a good kick like the spices was amazing food was fresh service was good next time I'm in the area I'm stopping by again.”
“The bacon, egg, potato and cheese breakfast burrito was amazing! The salsa on the side was super flavorful with the right amount of kick. Huge portions. Was able to do half for breakfast and half for lunch. Best breakfast burrito I’ve had in Lodi so far.”
“Went there for the first time on Monday. Had the "Caldo de Chacal Mixto". It was a pleasant surprise how good it was. Perfectly seasoned. It has one Chacal which is basically a giant prawn. It also had regular shrimp, octopus, and chunks of fish. It also comes with veggies like zucchini and carrots. We were provided hand made tortillas which is always a plus. They place is kind of small, but it wasn't crowded that day. We talked to the owner, and he's a very pleasant and attentive.”
“Really solid Torta Cubanas here. The Milanesa is amazing! Crispy, not too oily, and a great flavor. The torta is packed with tomatoes, raw onion, pickled jalapeños, milanesa, ham, egg, hot dogs and excellent melty cheese. They do have ketchup or mustard on the table if you want to add that to your sandwich. I think it would have been a perfect sandwich if there was mayo in it because the only con was that it was a bit dry. I was only able to finish half since it was a huge torta and saved the rest for later. There's only one cook here so that's how you know it's a good spot. Also ordered an horchata, which I thought was just alright. My friend and I will definitely be returning.”
“The kow soy is great, the egg noodles are thick and chewy. The broth is just a bit spicy. The curry chicken potato puffs are piping hot and not spicy. Not too much chicken in the puffs which I like. Personally. This is not a dine in restaurant. Take away only. Thank you!”
“Hands down one of the best food trucks in Lodi. I had the Lengua tacos and my husband had the asada plate. My lengua tacos were tasty and the meat was prepared, season and cooked perfectly. If you ever cooked lengua you know cleaning the leagua is an important process for taste. My husband asada plate was delicious and flavorful. The asada was fresh and juicy and seasoned just right. We will be returning very soon.”
“This little place is the best place ever!!!! I must say the owners were extremely nice and very wonderful. My family of 5 came in to try it and eat. I can’t say how nice they made us feel at home. All the food was delicious there customer service was above and beyond. They gave us on the house an entrée and dessert for dinning in. I must say my hats off to them and there delicious food they make!!! There worth every penny”
“Food was good. Waitress was very fast and nice. They were able to accommodate 22 people on short notice. Ordered 12 dishes and the food came at a good pace served warm.”
“All the dishes we ordered are explicitly good! Mr.Signh is very friendly and accommodating to us during our family dine and attentive to all needs. Price are so affordable, and serving size is massive. Authentic Indian food that won't break your bank.”
“My family has been going to Matsuyama for many years!!! We are always greeted and seated quickly. The service is great and the food is always fresh!! Also they don't mind at all if you want to add or subtract ingredients from your roll!!”
“Decisions, Decisions! This restaurant is suitable for your business needs or casual, the atmosphere is set for privacy at each table, and there is a bar if you'd like to mingle. There are more than plenty of outstanding menu options to choose from it is just a matter of how much room you have in your stomach! It completely depends on your mood of which way you will go on the menu, but you cannot go wrong it is ALL delicious! The sushi rolls are outstanding and the sashimi is like no other I have ever had just absolutely amazing in your mouth! Seaweed salad and cucumber salad were delicious. Oh a the stuffed jalapeños were definitely a hitter! I highly recommend the Oyster Shooter with hot sake it is crazy yummy tasty and I get cravings for them! Overall this place will not disappoint and yrust me when you see the menu you will know that you made a good choice to come to a fantastic restaurant! There is not a parking lot dedicated to the restaurant, if you are meeting someone I suggest to arrive a bit early to figure out where to park. Street parking is available it is up to 90 minutes before you need to move your vehicle. Handicap parking is available in a parking lot nearby on the same block as the restaurant.Parking: There is a dedicated lot for handicap parking located on the same block as the restaurant. Street parking is available for up to 90 minutes.”
“The food was great! Delicious. I split a chicken fried steak (chicken) and a chuck chicken fried steak. Both were tender, and the flavor was on point. Country potatoes are in larger cuts than I prefer, but they are cooked thoroughly while veggies are not overcooked, and that's good. Here's the one drawback. If you're a coffee ☕️ enthusiasts the coffee is lacking. I almost felt as if it was flavored in some way. It's definitely not the greatest coffee. Everything else was absolutely great and the prices are more than reasonable. Don't shy away due to coffee. Also, side note what is not my preference may be someone else's favorite, so give them a try. It's definitely worth it even if you come in during a busy time, which may happen due to events at the grape festival grounds proximity.”

“Easy to get to place. Room to maneuver backing in the docks. Skillful loading42,000 + lbs were evenly distributed on the trailer floor. And lady at the Shipping office? She was very kind and polite. Enjoy the experience, comrades! P.s. no scales on site.”
“When we came in, there was one server which always makes me cringe because nationwide, the employees aren’t really known for their dedication to their work. But to my delight, we were immediately greeted with a smile and seated. She was prompt, friendly and so nice. We didn’t have to wait for coffee refills and she made sure our order came out correctly. As for the food, it was hot, fresh and really good.”
“nothing better then a fast food open at 1-5 in the morning. defiantly hit this place everytime i get home late and havnt ate dinner or something... definitely only eat it when nothings open ? just not the biggest fan of the burgers and stuff and i love burgers so yea but shakes and loaded tacos are on hit every time!”
“The arby's sauce as well as 3 pepper sauce is fantastic! The French fries are the best I've ever had. The cashiers are quick and polite and seem to take care of the guests needs promptly. I was very impressed. Did I mention the place is also very clean. Excellent !!!”
“The service is excellent!The salsa is amazing!It takes the owner 3 days to prepare the salsaSo don't be frustrated when they serve it to you in small portionsThey will gladly bring you moreThey just don't like it to be wasted!”
“My sister had her baby shower here in the back room this past weekend, and wow all I can say is exceptional service! The ambient, the food and servers were amazing!!! Everything was so delicious, and we were never left without anything, Daniel our server was always checking in on us and made sure we were all good. Definitely will recommend this place for small events more!”
“We came here for a comedy night and had a good time. The show costs like $10 and it was obvious everyone was an amateur. They had to stall a bit because the headliner was very late, but overall it was a good mix of styles. They seem to have lots of interactive stuff here like the comedy show and trivia nights, etc. We tried a flight and some snacks. I liked the blonde ales and my wife really liked the barley-beer. She keeps telling me to stop by and see if they sell it by the can so we can have some at home. I will probably try the pizza next time we come. The table behind us ordered one and it looked good. Its kind of in a strange location but I like that parking is easy. They have a nice outside area and I like that I can bring my dog with me if I want. Seems like a good place to relax with friends and have some drinks.”

“We have been eating at Franco’s for years. The pizza is always amazing. My kids always say “if it’s not Franco’s I don’t want it.”Family owned business always friendly.”
“Fun selection of delicious cookies. Weekly menu changes are a great way to try. New cookies. Always fresh and delicious. Great idea for gifts, yourself or catering events!”
“They have the coolest collection. I got an A&W collector mug which I could never get from any other A&W! However I think it should of came with a free fill when you buy the mug!”
“I remember going out for donuts with my family one morning...passed up the "healthy shop" next door. We didn't stop in...maybe I wasn't ready to make a change. Months later at a different venue I met Leila. Still some time later, I became curious and haven't looked back! Chill and Leila have offered me the support and courage I needed to make life style changes. I am so thankful to have met Leila and walked into Chill. I would 100% recommend anyone who wants to make a life style change visit Chill and try any of their shakes, teas or donuts- I wish I could recommend just one but I love them all!”
“New spot for us to try out, which was a quick visit after our previous shopping elsewhere. But the owners here are really nice and patient did not feel rushed to place our order. It does say deli meaning that usually they have a small spread that demonstrates a Buffay style, but that was not being utilized the time That I visited. So it was place your order as you arrive but the food was done fairly quickly in about 15 minutes. And the prices seem fairly reasonable just so happen to stumble across this location. There possibly was about two or three of the customers that came in during my initial visit. a good spot to get some food to go from.”
“Wonderful service Tasty clean food!Excellent prices!!Asada is sooo good.No gristle or fat! Definitely coming back again.They give you carrots and jalapeños with your order!!”

“Just had an amazing calizone that we had called in. They deliver far out where other places won't just for a extra 5$ delivery fee which honestly isn't bad. Wish it was a little bit bigger but can't complain as I am full lol.”

“Guess I am on a roll...another five star experience/review for a craft coffee shop. Comal is near one of our Lodi properties and we have walked by many times. Last evening they were roasting and we stopped and chatted with the owner about coffee, brewing, beans, places where beans are grown, roasters, roasting and business in general. After seeing them roast their own beans I couldn't resist stopping by this AM for an Americano. And this morning on the way...we could smell the roaster a couple blocks away...nice, builds the anticipation. So if you like very good coffee this is a recommendation for Comal. They have what you need, Fresh roasted beans (this batch from Guatemala I think) a good machine that pulls a great espresso, friendly service and a great Americano. A good cup doesn't need sweetener or dairy and mine certainly didn't today. So to sum up, above average coffee, great service and the satisfaction of supporting another local small family-run business. As my grand boys say...two big thumbs up!”
“Went for first time today. Ordered a chicken burrito, pork burrito and two queso tacos with asada. Chicken was a little salty and I just assumed it would have cheese and sour cream in it so that was my error in ordering. My chicken burrito was good other than that and the tacos were delicious. My husband didn't care for the pork burrito because he said it was like a boiled meat and he thought it would be cooked on a grill and a little bit crispy. I took a bite of it and I thought it was good. I will definitely go back for the tacos. Friendly service and quick with my order when I was in a hurry.”
“Today was a great experience. This restaurant had a live band on Sunday. The food was great and the staff was very kind and attentive. Also the prices are very accessible.”
“My sister had her baby shower here in the back room this past weekend, and wow all I can say is exceptional service! The ambient, the food and servers were amazing!!!

“Came here with friends for happy hour on a Saturday and enjoyed the restaurant. Food was great, hot and delicious. Service was fast and professional. The prawn cocktail was good and I'll have that again next time.”
“I didn’t order much just something to nibble on before heading home. I will be going back to order dinner plates. Then I will update my review but what I got was very tasty ?”

“The price is nice, the cheeseburger is delicious, the staff is really efficient but the fries are not so good, it would be perfect if the fries had a little crisp to them.”
“Amazing! Came in and got myself a burrito supreme with tripe and a agua Fresca and it was delicious! The beans and tripe stood out the most to me, they both were cooked to perfection and very savory but the burrito as a whole was just perfect! I will definitely stop here if I ever swing by this area again”
“We have bought Papa Murphy pizza for several years. It seems the pizza just gets more delicious. Our favorite is the gourmet vegetarian it has so much flavor and it's so delicious. Their prices are reasonable you get so much more food for Sol less money.”
“I love this little bagel shop. The bagels and coffee are absolutely delicious, the staff are friendly, and they always make us feel appreciated when we come in on duty ? starting my shift with a bagel from here is the best way to guarantee a good day. I wish I could give this place 10 stars!”
“For a one man show working everything. One of the best burgers I've ever had hot fries. Were hot decent price for what you're paying? Would definitely come back over and over .”
“Had the big cheese combo. Its was really good. I liked the fries. Everyone working there was really nice and helpful. First time there, I went because I had a coupon so it was nice surprise.”
“TALL GUY with long hair and a mustache. Dude is the absolute best guy ever. The goat. If he is there when you walk in just know ALLSTATE YOU ARE IN GOOD HANDS type of service. Anyways food was good service was good and ambiance was good. 5 stars nothing less. He need a raise”
“Super CLEAN! You know the clean you can feel when you enter fast food restaurants? It felt clean and sanitized! And great food, cooked while you wait. None of this, already made sitting for hours room temperature food.Polite and attentive employees, even the bathroom was extremely clean! Thank you guys for doing such a great job! U are definitely appreciated all of your hard work! I really HOPE the manager and the upper mgmt. appreciate you and treat you right.Thanks again”
“The Hawaiian bbq chicken was so tender and the quantity was perfect. I’ve never liked cabbage but I liked it from Ono! Not to mention that the staff was so friendly and personable!”
“Passed this many a time. Always curious. Finally stopped in. Assessed the interior and gave it a go. Nice greeting. Many choices. Went with chicken teriyaki bowl. It's great that veggies are part of the bowl. It was fresh. It was good. I did add hot sauce. I really liked nutritional info and feel less badly about the "rice@. Maybe brown next time. Everything was fresh. It was hot. It was plentiful. Maybe some toasted sesame could garnish it. They do have chopstick , self serve teriyaki pump to take additional sauce. I'll come back and think good value for the money.”
“Only ever stop here for a Twister after pizza from Rick's, just down the street. The Twister's are always good, but there are a lot less flavors to choose from these days than what they offered in the past. Service is friendly, Twisters are thick.”
“Asked to have my order customized and it came out as requested.Parking: Hard to get into the driveway when truckers gave their parked truck not totally parked correctly and therefore making it extremely difficult for cars to enter the parking lot.”
“Shahd was very friendly, our food was hot, and they way he put our food in bags was very organized.Vegetarian options: Veggie whopper (no meat whopper) or impossible whopper”
“Love Pollo loco this place is always great sometimes they miss to put my full order living 25 min away it's irritating but I still go because it's always good the workers are nice. Only reason why I put 4 stars it's because it has gotten pricy.”
“This is a great location. I've been here a lot and I've never been disappointed. Everything is fresh, made well, and comes out promptly.You have to ask to be buzzed into the restrooms, and they've been very clean every time I've used them.”
“We enjoyed our breakfast experience! My crab omelette was heavenly and so tasty! The homemade wheat bread toast was good too. My only complaint would be the country potatoes were bland. My husband’s country gravy also lacked flavor but overall we love this option for breakfast!!!”
“It's a 40 year birthday miracle! 40 DELICIOUS crunchy tacos made in less than 20 minutes. After our party bus broke down wine tasting, cheese and crackers weren't going to cut it. This team put together a fantastic feast with all the accoutrements- guacamole, beans, and delicious salsas.I ordered, picked up, and had the food at the winery in 20 minutes. These people were amazing and helped keep the party vibes going after what could have been a real downer. Thank you to the team at El Maguey. People honestly said they were the best crunchy tacos they ever had- crispy, tasty salsa, and the right ratio of meat and toppings.Normally you don't want the word to get out too much for gems like this however I'm not in Lodi ever, so if I come back I hope their business is booming and they're still turning out amazing food. Great people, great service, great food.”
“Very modern place with great food choices. Loved the pickled deviled eggs ?. We also have the nosh pockets. Reminded me of a samosa. Wonderful flaky pastry with a beef meat mixture inside. Paired with 3 house made dipping sauces. Lastly we had 3 of their house made brats. They were accompanied by different pickled veggies and a coarse ground mustard. Great place!”
Cheap Eats
“Rubys knows what they’re doing with their food! They take ordinary pastries and sandwiches and make them extraordinary. Everything I’ve ever tried is mouthwatering good! Love this local spot!!”
“Note that this location is not a brick and mortar location - it is a food truck that’s parked here. That being said, it’s a super tasty and cheap option to have a quick meal. My friend and I came here prior to drinks at the Blind Barber, and ate our food in the car. If you do this, you may want to eat with the windows down since the smell is pretty strong. I got the loaded fries while my friend got the combo of tacos and a drink (no alcohol available. They have waters and sodas). The portions were generous and there was plenty of meat. The sauce was sufficiently spicy and the food came out quickly. Cash and credit cards accepted.”
“I love this place and the variety that they offer of sweet bread is pretty amazing. I live in Sacramento and drive here just for their sweet bread and great service. They always package everything with care.”
“Best breakfast burrito I've had from any Mexican restaurant! The bacon in the burrito was flavorful and crispy and the eggs were cooked perfectly. It's too bad they close so early because I would definitely make the trip out to Lodi from Stockton for dinner or a late evening snack.”
“I had the Aztec mocha and my wife is having a peppermint hot cocoa. I recommend both.Parking: Depending on the time of day it can take an effort. Definitely worth the effort. Lots of window shopping nearby.”
“This place has a really hometown feel and the staff and customers were so welcoming. It felt like a great cafe community, the kind you search for in a neighborhood! I only had a cup of joe, but the plates that were coming out of the kitchen looked great!”
“The cemitas where just wow with the sweet spicy special sauce on the side is great if anyone wants to try authentic food this is the spot and the jello was goof as well they're not fast due to the fact its fresh I recommend”
“Today 1/26/24 was my first visit ever. I work at a dealership nearby and two coworkers recommended the place. If I could give 10 stars…they’d get 10 stars. I walked in, was a little lost and the gentleman up front directed me where to go and I was kindly greeted by the staff. I asked for a “surprise” sandwich because it was my first time and I received the hot pastrami sandwich. Great sandwich. Off the top of my head I can’t think of a better sandwich place in lodi. 10/10”
“Casual relaxed spot to enjoy a cold one after a hard day's work!Home of the TANKARD and Tuesday they serve these colossal beer mugs filled with whatever you want that they have on tap at a discounted priceFriday night at 9 you can come in for karaoke and try your best at being a superstar!”
“Had a funeral to attend out here and im already aware of the good food trucks that are out here and Stockton. Anyhow this was the closest truck and it was amazing. Wish they had prices like this out in the bay area.”
“Coffee is better then the starbucks across the street. But not as good as Java stop down the road. However, they make that up with their service/shop in spades. The shop gives off a GREAT atmosphere. When you walk in, you can't help but just feel like you at home or at a safe place. I have never had a bad experience at house of coffees. Between the great service and music. Great tables and chairs. You just can't get that at Java stop. Not bad for the second best coffee in town. I suggest the nutty Irishman.”
“Tequileros Cantina is a great place to grab a bite. It's a cool place with a nice atmosphere but it can get a bit loud so I typically like to take my food to go. It is a really good value for the price. I like the pastor burrito - It's huge and has great flavor. I also get their quesabirria tacos sometimes and my wife loves their chicken nachos. We used to get a lot of our Mexican food from Tacos trucks before this location opened but the quality and value here is much better and if you want a bright, new, clean place with seating indoor and outdoor where you can relax and enjoy your food it is really good for that too.”
“It was busy so we parked in the back and as usual we were in the right place at the right time. Come to find out the owner let us in like VIP, bar checked or id and a nice patron welcomed this Dallas girl with open arms. I had been looking for a karaoke spot since whiskey bar and Finnegan's closed in Stockton and "the karaoke guy" was phenomenal. There were some awesome singers in the crowd too. All in all, me and my cousins had a great time, I just wish it was a bit bigger, the bathroom was cleaner and the pool table worked without having to call for reinforcements. Oh BTW I drink a double vodka tonic tall with a lime and kudos to them for listening and making it right. Thank you to Mike for buying my 1st drink just because I made him smile. I'll def be back soon.”
“Bro, the Fat tacos full of meat. Carnitas and asada with green chili ?️ and a jarrito and Pepsi .. chillinnnn' bomb freaking tacos ? ? come eat here imediatamente jajaja ?”
“Great little coffee shop in Lodi. I’ve been several times just to get a latte and the morning glory muffin. 10/10. No restroom, but great service and they usually give you a chocolate covered espresso bean with your latte order. Also, pretty cheap for an espresso and muffin!”
“They were very busy when we visited, and it was an especially blustery day. Sitting outside was not an option. It’s a small, family owned operation, but what makes it unique to other local wineries is the goats and freshly made goat cheeses. We enjoyed the wine and cheese pairing. We left with a Moscato and two chèvre cheeses: a dill and a chocolate cheese. I wanted to smuggle a baby goat home in my purse!”
“First time here. Arrived mid-day Thursday and I enjoyed the beer, food, atmosphere, and especially the service. Odd that they we out of non-alcoholic beer, and no bubbly mineral water such as Perrier or San Pellegrino. So minus 1⭐️ for that. Downtown Lodi definitely worth a walk about if you haven’t been here for a while. Quite a trendy spot now. O.K. to be stuck in Lodi again ??”
“So fun and delicious, our server Alisha was the best, super attentive to all of our needs. It was a busy breakfast morning and she took care of every table ✨ for the food, we had to try the soups (split pea and chicken tortilla), my favorite was the chicken tortilla, but split pea was good too :) depending on the mood. Ordered the huevos rancheros, and steak eggs. The steak was cooked perfectly, very delicious juicy and tender cut. We also got a Bloody Mary, also prepared exquisitely.So if you’re in town looking for a new place to try out, you can’t go wrong with the goodies here ✨”

“I gave 5 stars not for the fast food, for the CAJUN Turkey. I moved from So Cal recently and the last three years have gotten a turkey from Popeyes in So Cal. Coming to this area I was ecstatic that they have them here too. More expensive each year but worth it. As to fast food I love their chicken sandwich too”
“When we came in, there was one server which always makes me cringe because nationwide, the employees aren’t really known for their dedication to their work. But to my delight, we were immediately greeted with a smile and seated. She was prompt, friendly and so nice. We didn’t have to wait for coffee refills and she made sure our order came out correctly. As for the food, it was hot, fresh and really good.”
“It is always a pleasant experience visiting this RTP location. One of the better locations in comparison to other RTP stores because of their wonderful staff. As for the food, I'm a little biased as I believe (almost) any pizza is good pizza, and RTP doesn't disappoint.”
“Not the same owners anymore it's new ownership they did an amazing job at remodeling the restaurant but the food is off da hook nice and fresh no microwave in the kitchen that's how a restaurant should be ? fresh and hot food ??”

It's heartening to see him form a connection with the staff, turning every visit into a delightful experience.From that very first visit, we knew we had discovered a gem.

“Manal our server was amazing! Her customer service is outstanding. She took our order without writing anything down and remembered everything! I cannot express how much the great service we received to made my heart smile! Thank you!”
“Update... 1/30/24 - still the best fish tacos in Lodi!!! Do not pass this place upBEST FISH TACOS IN LODI, HANDS DOWN!!!I think they are breaded and then deep fried. Fajitas are great as well. We don't go there often only because they are always packed, but that's because their food is great! We went last night and it was freezing outside, maybe some outdoor patio heaters would be a nice touch due to outside dining during this pandemic...? Just a suggestion :) Portions are fair and I really like that they serve ceviche instead of salsa like all other Mexican resturants.”
“10/10 recommend! So glad we tried it. The meat is perfectly seasoned/flavored, cooked and lean. I wish more Mexican food was quality like this! No fat chunks in the asada and it looks and tastes like it's actually grilled (not stewed like other places). Even the toppings tasted and looked fresh, juicy ripe limes and fresh cilantro. Had the asada fries, carnitas burrito and barbacoa tacos. LOVED everything! The space is a little small but most people get food to-go or eat quick and don't sit around so there's tables available.”
“Food was good. Waitress was very fast and nice. They were able to accommodate 22 people on short notice. Ordered 12 dishes and the food came at a good pace served warm.”

“Very good fried rice!!!! Shrimp and chicken fried rice is soo good!! They also made chicken noodles soup for my husband that was not feeling well!! That was sooo good!!! The beef broccoli......wasn't good at all!!!!! I definitely went back for more fried rice before leaving town!!!!”
“It's been a while since I've been here but once again, it did not disappoint! Brought 3 new friends with me and they loved it as well! Great selection of beer, cool ambience, and lots of fun swag. This is definitely a place I'll continue to recommend when visiting the Lodi area!”
“Definitely would give this place a 10 out of 10! I came right when they opened and instead of them being unprepared they were extremely prepared. They were the sweetest employees. I am unsure of their names but it was a young man and a women. They did not skimp on my toppings and were extremely welcoming !!!”
“Super cute little spot. Perfect for lunch and in downtown, so you can stop for a bite before or after shopping. Not too expensive, spent 50 for a family of 4 on sandwiches and smoothies. Better than Subway and it looks like it's family owned. #supportsmallbusinessesKid-friendliness: Kids menu”
“Great food, huge portions. Service is lacking but it is what it is. Even with the so so service we eat there oftenWheelchair accessibility: Several handicap spaces and easy access to ramp.”
“everytime i want a shake i come @ 10 and thats the time they usually close the ice cream machines down and the girl always leaves it on for me for a couple minutes and always knows my order ? + she cute and wasn't disrespectful when i told her... most girls in this world nowa days woulda gave you a face and probably spit in yo food!”
“Normally the story that I’m about to share does not warrant the star review that I have given this location, however, through kind and thoughtful staff we walked away from our dining experience happy: As we dined in tonight at BWW’ we promptly ordered our meal after being seated relatively quickly. Unfortunately we waited for nearly an hour for our food to arrive and it was cold, which is unlike this locations typical happenings. We come here often and can honestly say only this one time have we had an unsavory experience. Regardless of the circumstances with our food, I believe he was a manager (if not he really should be) Scotty came quickly to our table and assessed the situation. Scotty offered empathy and reconciliation quickly for our situation that was tremendously appreciated. Following Scotty, a server named Leah finished serving our table and was the kindest server we have ever had. She offered us warmth and understanding recognition that is often missing from establishments these days. While there was an uncomfortable aspect to our circumstances Scotty and Leah proved that the heart of any restaurant is the ones who see to their patrons through means of dignity and respect.Thank you Scotty and Leah!”
“Excellent Italian foods! Great tasty portion& easy parking. We went for lunch on a Tuesday around 1pm and the restaurant was still full of guests. There was no waiting as we were seated right away. Love the special of the day “salad” with oranges and grapefruits served with cheese and croutons. It was juicy, fresh and tasty. Their special pizza was sprinkled with very fine “angel hair” shredded cheese. Our favorite was the pappadelle: Ragu pasta & oxtail.”
