“We live out of town and decided to try this cafe. The staff was extremely attentive and the food was top-notch. The owner was present and very personable, as well as helping the wait staff. I can’t say enough about the quality of food and how wonderful it tastes! The portions were large and our coffee mug stayed full. We will definitely make the drive to come back often.”

“We were driving thru Manteca and decided to stop for lunch. Went in with no expectations. Came out totally impressed. Food was excellent, Manjit our waiter was outstanding. Would recommend this place to anyone coming to Manteca. Had choley bhatura, paranthas and saag!”
“Came here last week and got a asada burrito. Was so good. One of the best burritos in the area. Asada had great flavor. Tortilla was lightly grilled on the outside. It was big I had to save part of it for later. Stopped by today to try to the quesabirria's. It comes with cheese, meat, onions and cilantro. I got it without the onions and cilantro. I got 3 of them. They were tasty and I left full. Usually food is ready in about 5 minutes or less depending if others ordered in front of you. There's a couple tables to sit at under a canopy in the shade. Great food. Will be back for more.”
“I’m not from anywhere, unless you count Fremont, Ca. and my Parents always taught me to be open to trying new food, experiences, and gave me a Passion for Life, That being said, I tried it, I never liked it, until I tasted something called Halal prepared Lamb and Beef and Extra Long Grain Rice and more. I haven’t had anything that I didn’t like or wouldn’t re-order from this local Family Owned establishment! I think one of the most amazing things is trying to describe the flavors of the different spices that aren’t used and typical ““ American cuisine. I found this in my travels to other cultures with other foods where you ask the person to describe the flavor, and they can’t. They are at a loss for words. And so am I? But I know that I won’t be disappointed with anything that I order.”
“Our family loves Iron Horse Deli, my grandson’s especially love the chicken strips, so crunchy and the shoestring fries! The chicken is so good and the food is always hot! My son is a fan of the BBQ burger with wedge fries. He says, it’s the best burger in town and best value, flame broiled! Their shakes are especially yummy! We’ve not been disappointed with any of their food. It’s dangerous living just three doors down. The staff is also awesome, friendly. Can’t add a photo because we ate it so fast!”
““The food truck did an amazing job! All of our guests were so happy and kept talking about how delicious the food was. Everything was clean, well-organized, and beautifully displayed. We are extremely happy with the service and food. Thank you for helping make our event so special!””
“These guys were so quick! We had a group of 20 people at two tables. They were already bringing out some dishes to the first table while the second was still ordering. We all had our food within 15 minutes of finishing ordering, and it was all great!”

“Been looking for a flavorful chinese restaurant. This is it. The food is represented and plated great!. The waitress is also really nice and full of smiles. Its a very welcoming environment. The food is quick and hot ready to eat. We ordered the family dinner and me & my husband left very happy with this place. Food is great.”
“Don't let the faint odor of disinfectant put you off as you enter. You won't notice it after a minute. And don't flinch at the price of the tacos de ribeye ($30 for 3 tacos). There is easily a 12oz steak cooked fresh, rested properly, and cut up to the right size for a taco -- not too big, not too small. We went on a Saturday night and there were lots of families enjoying a night out, a couple of dates, friends catching up, etc. great atmosphere!”
“The food is always outstanding. No matter what you get you can't go wrong but there's always so much food. I always have leftovers. That's absolutely a good value. Outstanding food and great service”

“This is a shoutout for the worker Jamia B. who served my brother and I this morning around 6:00am! She had an amazing positive attitude towards us, given the hour of the day, and went above and beyond for us! She was super polite and very helpful! I wanted to make sure that she got the recognition that she deserved! Thank you for making our morning and having a wonderful personality! It will not go unnoticed! :)”
“Thank you Jack for Hiring just right! A shoutout to Betty, Jacky, Jeneah, Mizty. I hope I got all their names correct. Great team and the food was hot and delicious! Great people who really treat their customers with care!!!
I was on my way to Tahoe. So glad we stopped by!!
Awesome experience!!!

“I am blown away by the incredible flavors and exceptional service at Junoon Indian Cuisine! The menu offers a diverse range of traditional Indian dishes, and I was impressed by the variety of options. I started with the Non-Veg platter and I loved the Tikkas and Seekh kababs, which were tender and melt in mouth. For my main course, I opted for the Chicken Tikka Masala, which was cooked to perfection. The chicken was tender, and the creamy tomato sauce was rich and aromatic. What truly stood out was the quality of the ingredients and the care with which each dish was prepared. You must try their in-house made sweets too. The service was also top-notch, with friendly staff happy to answer questions and make recommendations. I'm so impressed with Junoon Indian Cuisine that I've already recommended it to friends and family. If you're a fan of Indian cuisine or just looking to try something new, this is a must-visit and one of the best Indian restaurant in Manteca.”
“Let’s just say I had it for the first time yesterday and I wish they were open more days because it’s some of the best BBQ I have ever had and I’ve had a lot of BBQ. I only wish I’d have gotten more yesterday. The ST Louis ribs were amazing. And I licked the container on the BBQ beans. 😃”

“Ramen 101 is an outstanding spot, the kind of place where the energy, the food, and the service all hit at the same level. The moment you walk in and see it packed, you know you’re in the right place. That kind of crowd doesn’t happen by accident it’s a sign of a kitchen that delivers and a team that knows what they’re doing.
The food is phenomenal. Every bowl comes out rich, flavorful, and balanced, with portions that actually satisfy. You can tell they care about quality, nothing feels rushed or sloppy. It’s comfort food done right.
What really elevated the experience, though, was the service. Ann is exceptional, genuinely attentive, courteous, polite, and incredibly helpful. She checks in at the right moments, anticipates what you need, and makes you feel taken care of without ever hovering. That level of service is rare, and it makes the whole visit feel even better.
Overall: 5 stars, easy. Great food, great atmosphere, and truly great people running the place. Highly recommended to anyone in the area.”
“Their place is clean. There’s always parking but most importantly I’m a vegetarian and every single time I eat there I never get sick from cross-contamination which is really hard to eat out in public restaurants. I am a vegetarian for health issues and I’m very grateful that I don’t get sick there and they always know who I am and remember my order. They are a kind and fun and funny. I really recommend this restaurant.”
“The staff was helpful. The food was hot and very tasty too. I like the warm teriyaki to add on extra to your meals too. My beef was cut thin and tender. My wife loved the combo plate as well. We got the shrimp tempura for our son and he loved them to much.
They give a good portion of rice and veggies with the meals too.”
“Ordering and payment was easy. I gave her the theme my son picked for his party and she ran with it and it was spot on. He was amazed and the cake was beautiful! It came with cutting instructions and was boxed great to protect it. It tasted really good too. 10/10 would recommend. We will defiantly be reaching out for future events.”
“In my first week of being here in the United States, I’ve tried the food from Oasis Market and it was outstanding. The food in China does not compete…I’d also like to commend the nice curly headed young man for such great service and hospitality, he made me feel welcome to this country! I’m definitely sharing this place to all new people I meet and to my friends back in Hong Kong !”
“Excellent Food ⭐️
We had an amazing dinner here! The food was absolutely delicious, what really made the night special was the incredible hospitality. The service was top-notch from start to finish.
A huge shoutout to Antonio, the owner! He is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and makes you feel right at home the moment you walk through the door. It’s rare to see an owner so genuinely invested in their guests' experience.
If you're looking for great Mongolian food and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, this is the spot. We will definitely be back!”
“I came from out of town and ordered pizza to the Great Wolf Lodge and I super messed up the delivery driver and a beautiful Filipino lady were so helpful and understanding and to top it off the pizza was amazing. It hard now days to find people like them who have great customer service. Thank you guys!!!”
“I love me some Applebees!!! I love getting the big ol appetizer. Comes with the artichoke dip and chip. ABSOLUTELY ALWAYS HOT AND DELICIOUS. Not to mention the rotating deals and food items, always enjoy seeing what’s new. Also the drinks are always GOOD! This new Don julio you cannot get in drink was really good! Yes i did take the cup home because it will serve as a great cookie and milk cup. 🫡Thank you Applebees for being my favorite, friendly neighborhood restaurant!”

“Calling this little restaurant a taqueria seems a bit understating things. My wife and I are new residents in the area and have tried it a few times now. The last time we decided to eat there and the fajitas were served just like a full restaurant, only they tasted better than most. The service is always friendly here also and the decor is casual and clever. Great little hidden spot to try if you like good Mexican food but dont want to wait 30 minutes for a table at El Jardin or Las Casuelas.”
“Donuts were soft, fresh, tasty, great price with friendly and kind staff. Very clean place and the staff offered us free samples of teas. Definitely going back. A heads up that there is a sign that kitchen closes an hour before the store closes which is good to know. I want to go back for the unicorn 🦄 tea, donut holes and double chocolate cake donut!”
“Thank you Angelique! Beyond the five star rating. She tended to every difficult request that I asked. Extra-well done, no lettuce, corn on the cob instead of fries. To-go cup for my soda refill. Thank you for your fast accurate service. I wish that you were our server every time that we visit Chili's Manteca Good customer service is very hard to find. Keep up the good work, keep smiling. Please give this gal some recognition and kudo's.”
“I had the absolute best experience! I was having a hard time getting there with the kids and showed up 5 minutes before closing. They were super helpful and not at all upset that we were there right before closing. She was so nice and threw in some twisty cinnamon sticks too! Thank you so much for saving the night with the kids!”
“I have a problem and order from here more than I should, but I can’t help it!! The sauce, service and experience is amazing, everytime!! I can NOT speak more highly of this spot! They deserve a 5 star! ⭐️ If you’re craving seafood boil, you found the right place to satisfy that craving! Love love love it here! Thank you guys for always making my experience amazing! 😊♥️ See you tomorrow! LOL”
“This is the second time my wife and I have stopped in for dinner. We are visiting from out of town. The food was delicious. Especially the aloo gobli. The food all came out promptly and even my 3 year old and 1 year old enjoyed the food. We will try to make it a point to stop in when we are visiting family in town.”

“my friend and I had the banana matcha + ube matcha paired with pistachio cheesecake + banana cake
It was super good! It’s in a lowkey spot, where you have to walk towards the back of a butcher shop (not ideal but worth it LOL). I think I might add this place to visit when I’m in the area! The people behind us also said it was the best matcha they’ve ever had, and I kinda agree.”
“I've lived in Manteca for almost 4 years and don't "go out" often (if ever ?)... I stopped in on a Friday night/Saturday morning (12 a.m.) I don't like going out on weekend nights (I'm too old to deal with out of control children) I just needed a drink and be on my way... I was able to sit at the bar as soon as I walked in... sports on the TV, pool tables, dart boards (wish I was in the frame of mind to enjoy) for a Friday night, I was comfortable... cops were on patrol, but for me that made me feel better ??♀️ service was quick, polite and heavy handed lol”
“This place used to be so cheap and sooooo good. It's no longer cheap and although the food is still good, it has changed. I still enjoy coming here to this spot but unfortunately it's changed. I remember the $2.50 burritos and tortas al pastor that were finger liking good.”
“We had a private viewing for a close family member who passed away recently. It was not planned to have about 20 people attend. Sasha the owner was able to help me place an order to pick up. We had house chow mein, house fried rice, beef broccoli, sweet and sour pork and egg rolls. The order was completed at the time we agreed on and she helped me load the food into my pickup truck. I had all the food in place when everyone arrived to my home. They were overwhelmed with the quality and quantity of the meal. They could not say enough about the flavor of the food and service she provided especially at a time like this. Thank you so much for the experience you provided for our family.”
“The food was a 6.5/10, I was a little disappointed when the pastor tacos came and the pineapple that came with it was frozen other than the rest of the food was okay. Chips and Salsa were really good tho.”
“Boy we love this place. Nestled within the woods of Great Wolf Lodge you can’t beat this spot. It is perfect after a long day of fun with the kids in the waterslides. Lucky for us we have the luxury of leaving the littles with our teens so we get a couple hours of adult time! And hey, after the day of water slides and pool fun, they’re all knocking out anyway.
So, now for my recommendations. You absolutely HAVE to try the firecracker shrimp as an appetizer. Perfect crunch and the sauce is out of this world. My wife went for the steak frites which were great and I opted for the spicy chicken sandwich; super flavorful and the fries were great too.
Woody made us some awesome drinks too. I’ve never had a pineapple margarita with vodka and Jameson and a splash of blue caracauo but it was delish! Next up he did a coconut margarita with vodka and it was even better. His energy and enthusiasm was awesome and we really enjoyed our time! Thanks woody and team!”

“We enjoyed the lunch specials. The price was very reasonable and the amount of food was very good too. Menu had a large range of choices. The only concern is the bathroom. It can use a look over. We do plan to visit again. Great service and pleasant waitress and owners.”
“So glad to have Guido's Pizza back! I have tried many pizza places in town since Guido's closed a few years back. Some of them are quite good, but Guido's is great. You can even get a pre dinner show from (Quik Stop Karen) if you happen to park in a space that she believes is hers. All around it's a great time. Make sure you bring your camera.”
“Daniel who works this Walmart location makes the best pizza! Yes it does matter who prepares the pizza believe it or not. I’ve ordered this same pizza numerous times (hand tossed pan, pepperoni, jalapeños, green peppers and onion) and when someone else makes it, it’s not that great. When Daniel makes it, it’s amazing every time!”

“Im surprised this is rated a 3.3
I used to live at the motel 6 for like 5 years and I always went here. I rarely had a mistake on my order and they wouldn't give me a problem if I told em it was wrong. Like maybe 3 or 4 times the burgers were too dry. But it was super busy and I know when it gets hectic during dinner rush. This location always busy too and I still get mostly hot food. And wait times weren't that bad. Came here the other day since I was in the area again and it was the same great quality and freshness. 🫡”

“The Miami sun was setting, the traffic humming, and I walked into Chick-fil-A just looking for something quick. But that chicken burger felt unexpectedly dramatic in flavor. The crispness of the chicken cracked softly with every bite, followed by warmth and tenderness. It’s funny how something so simple can create a moment that sticks in your memory. The burger wasn’t just food—it was a brief pause in the rush of the city.”
“We love your pizza 🍕 we always order from you, But today I wasn’t to happy, I always order my pizza’s with lite sauce todays there was so much sauce I had to take the toppings off so I could eat it, by then I kinda didn’t want to eat it,”
