Lodi Beer Company, established in 2004, is a charming brewery located in downtown Lodi. The old-fashioned tavern setting offers a range of house-brewed beers that pair perfectly with their diverse comfort-food menu. From gourmet pizza to steak and salads, there's something for everyone. The brewery also features seasonal and non-seasonal beer options. With a dozen beers made on-site at the microbrewery, it's a haven for beer enthusiasts.
We had our company Christmas event with you on December 13th. It was amazing. The staff and management went above and beyond in making this night extra special. The wait staff incredible. Food was plentiful and 5 star. Every attendee was impressed, thank you for making this night so memorable. We look forward to doing this again next year!

Stopped by on a mellow afternoon and had a pint plus a flight. The pours were solid. They were 3 to 4 oz each depending on the beer. Bartender was cool, welcoming, and kept the energy relaxed without being too hands-on. The space itself stands out more than anything. The layout is dope, and the interior has that cozy-meets-industrial feel with high ceilings, brick walls, and big wooden tables. As for the beer, you can tell they take pride in their brewing, even if nothing really pushed the envelope. That said, their Raspberry Hefe and Lodi Lite were both solid — easy to drink and well-balanced. Overall, I’d come back. It’s not a destination spot if you’re chasing rare beers or crazy food, but if you’re in Lodi and want a chill brewery with good energy, this one does the job. With a few additions and updates to the beer menu or beers to go , it could easily be a 5-star spot.

Let me. Tell you me and my wife have went here for years. They have changed a few things. But everything is still delicious like always. Our waitress was very knowledgeable. I do forget her name, but she was honest. That she had not tried the fish tacos. So I stuck with something I knew. We did try the new sourdough appetizer, which was delightful. We also got the New York strip steak. And the blue cheeseburger, which was so good. It was wonderful. Also, if you're down to try their root beer, it's delicious. We are looking forward to going again soon.

The food we ordered was amazing! The chicken Marsala was delicious, the Fettuccine Alfredo was spot on, and the Cuban club was exquisite. Perfect place to grab some tasty food and refreshing beers after a 12-hour drive. If we ever stop in Lodi again, this will definitely be our go-to spot!

So many people wait to be seat and it’s not because of just the inviting atmosphere but because of the delicious food and desserts are prepared so well, taste so good and waitress are very attentive. Ashley was our waitress and she was very kind and social, just as the manager David was; creating a great experience for my family and I. We were able to taste the bread pudding dessert which no lie was actually the best! It’s a must have dessert after the great meal. The beer on the other hand, brewed and stores in house, looks tasty and has a wide variety to choose from. It’s a no brainer to take the family here, enjoy! 😄

Great place first time here with my family and we had a great sever, Jenna. I love how friendly, patient, and great customer service she gave us. A big plus for me was when I asked a few questions about a few items she was great in answering them. It’s rare you find customer service that actually enjoy doing their job. She made us all very comfortable and like a family gathering. The food was great and we all didn’t wait.

My husband and I shared the Fish & Chips and a cup of the Loaded Potato soup. I usually post photos of the food from places I review but neither plate was that impressive to photograph. The soup was mostly liquid and there were barely any chunks of ham/bacon to be found. We were there before noon so I couldn’t really see it being because it was the bottom of the pot. My husband enjoyed it anyway but for the price I wouldn’t recommend it. The fried fish was in smaller filets than most restaurants but tasted fine. The fries were the better part of the meal. The most disappointing part of the visit was my husband ordered a beer before we ordered our food and his beer arrived after our soup came. Again, we were sat before noon on a Saturday and there were maybe 5 other tables of people inside and outside. There were plenty of employees walking around but somehow the beer (at a brewery) was almost the last thing to be served. The inside of the restaurant is gorgeous and even the bathroom are ornately decorated. I wish we had a better experience but next time we’re in town we’ll be going elsewhere.

Pretty cool atmosphere & bathrooms are pretty nice too. Definitely go in the off peak hours. It’ll get busy at times and service can take a while. The food is 4/5. The bruschetta is really good. My burger was a little overcooked, the fried mac & cheese 4/5. The French dip is also one of my favorites or the club sandwich. I don’t recommend the pork tacos…. zero flavor

Restaurant
Nestled in a modern strip mall, Avenue Grill is a charming café that has become a beloved spot for breakfast and lunch enthusiasts. With its inviting atmosphere adorned with family photos and trophy fish, it exudes a cozy vibe that complements the hearty comfort food on offer. The menu features American classics with delightful twists, ensuring there's something for everyone. Diners rave about the oversized omelets—so large they could easily be shared—and the mouthwatering carnitas quesadilla packed with shredded pork and cheese.
A few months ago I was driving through Lodi with a few others. They were hollering that they were hungry and wanted to stop for breakfast. But they insisted on no chain restaurants or fast food. So we googled and found Avenue Grill. So glad we dined here. The food was traditional classic American fare served up by the nicest staff (which was ethnically diverse). The vibe is welcoming. I noticed that the staff knew a lot of the regular folks (also ethnically diverse) by name. They serve up breakfast and lunch. They are known for their signature giant flapjack. $5.99. But none of us ordered. Next time for sure. Anyways, I got with eggs and bacon breakfast. Simple and prepared right. Luved it. Prices weren’t bad. The menu options were plentiful. The place is on the smallish side. They have tables and a counter. When the dining room is full, it’s cozy cramped. The noise level can get loud.

If you're on the hunt for one of the best breakfast spots around, Avenue Grill should be at the top of your list. This place consistently serves up hearty, satisfying dishes that hit all the right notes—especially if you're a fan of classic American breakfasts with a twist. Let’s start with the Potato Platter, which honestly might be one of the most crave-worthy breakfast plates you’ll find anywhere. It’s a generous helping of crispy country-style potatoes mixed with grilled ham, smoky bacon, bell peppers, and onions—all topped off with a layer of melted cheese. It’s everything you want in a breakfast dish: savory, cheesy, filling, and just enough crisp on the potatoes to keep you coming back. Another standout is the Chicken Fried Chicken—perfectly fried, juicy, and paired with a savory country gravy that brings the whole thing together. It’s comfort food done right, and they clearly know what they’re doing with their gravy here. Surprisingly, even the Carnitas Quesadilla holds its own. Now, I wouldn’t normally order a quesadilla at a breakfast place like this, but I’ve tried it, and it’s genuinely good—tender carnitas with just the right amount of seasoning and gooey cheese in every bite. If you're in the mood to mix things up, it won’t disappoint. The Poorman’s Benedict is another favorite—it’s a creative and delicious take on the traditional benedict. A fluffy biscuit and rich gravy serve as the base, stuffed with a sausage patty, a perfectly cooked egg, and a handful of those signature country-style potatoes. It’s messy in the best way possible and absolutely delicious. They also serve some of the best pancakes I’ve had—thick, fluffy, and golden. The only knock? They serve them with syrup that contains corn syrup rather than real maple syrup. It’s a small letdown in an otherwise great dish, and I really wish they’d offer a pure maple option. The coffee is solid too—bold, hot, and just what you need to round out a great breakfast. It's nothing fancy or artisanal, but it's good, and it keeps coming, which is all I ask for in a breakfast joint. Be warned: weekends get busy. It’s a local favorite, and word has definitely gotten out, so expect a bit of a wait. That said, the staff is efficient and the kitchen moves fast, so even when it’s packed, things turn over quickly. Overall, Avenue Grill delivers on every level when it comes to breakfast—huge portions, tons of flavor, and a menu that offers comfort food classics with enough variety to keep it interesting. Just come hungry and bring your own maple syrup.

Good restaurant, very busy on a Sunday morning but still only waited barely ten minutes for a table. Fast service. Take note, Google maps shows two entrances for cars. Don't take the one off Hutchins because you can't see the restaurant. You end up driving up to a place called Java Stop though if you take the entrance a few yards past Java Stop you can follow their parking lot around until Avenue Grill comes into view. If you take the Lodi entrance you can see it right away. Ps.huge portions. Go there hungry and you'll definitely walk away full though there are lighter options too. I highly recommend the potato platter or Denver omelette.

Whenever my husband and I go looking for breakfast places, we have to find something for me and something for him. I prefer a more bougie breakfast, and he prefers a country breakfast. I had a spinach and feta cheese omelette which was absolutely delicious. Lots of feta in it, lots of spinach, and I requested mushrooms. The mushrooms were fresh, not from a can. The breakfast potatoes were awesome. He loved his food: pancakes, biscuits/gravy, eggs, and bacon. Staff was great. Large portions. Sourdough toast had lots of real butter on it. 💖

Italian restaurant
Restaurant
Pietro's Trattoria is a long-standing Italian restaurant in Lodi, offering a family-style menu of classic Italian dishes with a farm-to-fork approach. The executive chef, Pete Murdaca, comes from a family with Italian roots and prepares authentic dishes like bruschetta, agnolotti in cream sauce with aged balsamic vinegar, and pizza topped with locally grown asparagus and spicy olive oil.
Our party of five had a great meal in a relaxed atmosphere even though Pietro's was busy. A reservation was necessary. The gnocchi, ox tail, and pasta dishes were excellent. Nice water and wine selections. The homegrown tomatoes on the bruschetta were a flavorful treat. Service was pleasant and efficient. I am looking forward to the planned changes, another satisfying experience in the near future.

Dining in for Father’s Day celebration. I’ve been here many times before. Always welcoming.We asked for outdoor seating. Great Ambiance. Our server was great. Food was great. Although, they can do better on the 3 skinny asparagus included on the "Catch of the day". Kinda wilted. Til our next dine in! I forgot to also mention. We were seated in a tight/narrow spot. Where our server was having a hard time getting our food on our table. See last photo.

Three entrees, three drinks, three salads and one dessert. Everything was excellent. A bit of a wait, but this was my first time there and my wife highly recommended. You can watch the food preparation in the open kitchen, everything is fresh and seasonal produce is featured, including in the desserts. Our bill at lunchtime was $175 (pre-tip) and well worth it. Great way to celebrate a friend's birthday. Although this restaurant is a solid 45 minute drive for us, I would definitely make the trip for high-quality, delicious Italian. So many things on the menu looked divine, I will certainly be back to sample the selection.

We had a truly fantastic dinner at Pietro's Trattoria in Lodi, CA. We were lucky enough to sit on their outdoor patio, which was absolutely splendid. The atmosphere was incredibly charming and made for a perfect evening. The food was just as great as the setting. Everything we ordered was fresh and delicious, from the authentic pasta dishes to the wood-fired pizza. You can really taste the quality in every bite. Overall, the combination of the wonderful atmosphere and the awesome food makes Pietro's a must-visit spot.

Love coming here at Pietro’s! It’s our favorite Italian place here in Central Valley! Food are delicious! We had calamari fritti 10/10, meatballs which was a little salty for us but still good 7/10. I had the pappardelle 10/10, husband got the Toscana pizza which has a surprise taste to it 7/10. Plus the complimentary focaccia bread which was very delicious! 🤤 Place was packed as usual, it’s good that we had the reservation so we were seated right away. Staff are attentive. Great place if you want to eat Italian food, highly recommended!

My friend was like you know what let's ditch the men and go have girl dinner! Yes, say less. We drove out to Lodi and arrived at the outside vibes of Italy. Almost like transported. We did not have a reservation and was almost turned away. *Angelica like music plays. Three seats at the bar were open. We will take them! My drink was never empty! The bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar *chefs kiss. Gnocchi was delicious clouds of joy! Meatballs on point. We loved everything! We were too full for dessert but I bet it would be delicious! Highly recommend!

Dancing Fox Winery & Brewery is a charming family-owned establishment located near the Lodi water tower on Locust St. Housed in a historic Olde Ice House, it offers American and European cuisine from breakfast to dinner, along with a wine bar and baked goods. The building's thick walls contribute to energy efficiency and also serve as a Downtown Lodi tasting room for Jessie's Grove Winery.
Upon entering, we were greeted by a big smile and friendly helpful service. Everyone working here seems to be happy to be here. We got a complementary wine tasting with our lunch where we were told the story behind the place. We are so happy we came here! We ordered the focaccia bread basket as an appetizer. Apparently, the wife who has taken baking classes in France does all of the pastries and breads! The ficaccia was amazing! We ordered a veggie wrap with french fries which was also really good. All in all I would recommend this place. Edit: while eating my wrap I realized that the tortilla is homemade!! *Drool* soooo yummyyy

Great place for beer sampling, focaccia bread, vegan pasta, fried shrimp, and fish and chips. The pasta, focaccia bread, tartar sauce,balsamic vinegar, and other items are made from scratch at the restaurant. Everything we tried was so tasty! Plus, the vegan pasta dish was so flavorful with balanced flavors, it put Bay Area vegan dishes to shame. I just can’t believe how awesome Dancing Fox Winery & Brewery is!

Carne asada tacos, brick oven taratata pizza, and sliders for the kids. This isn't a kid friendly place unless your kids sit still. The atmosphere is geared more towards date nights. We chose it because we were meeting as a family for a wedding. I apologize to the staff for some of our rambunctious members. Despite our big group the server did his best to serve us. They have one vegan meal and can turn the pizza into dairy free versions. But my dad said the ribs are the best. Perfectly cooked. They are lacking in gluten-free but can make a few things safely.

Second time here after a visit a few years ago where my daughter and I weren’t treated very well. They have redeemed themselves in our eyes today! They were so friendly and gracious and the food was fabulous! We had the margarita pizzas and mandarin salads and key lime pie for dessert. Jason was our server and he was on point the whole time. I don’t get back to Lodi very often but when I do, it’s important to me to have a special time with my girl and they made this lunch special with their great customer service and positive attitude. Will be back next time.

We visited here for lunch after a morning of wine tasting. It’s a wonderful place right in downtown Lodi. The decor is old world charm so you’ll get a kick out of noticing all the different details. The service was impeccable. We were seated immediately and our waiter was attentive and helpful. I ordered the fish and chips and he ordered the chicken pineapple pizza. The fish was delicious. The batter was light and crispy. The fries are amazing. I’m still thinking about them. He said his pizza was delicious as well. I ordered the Foxes Delight for dessert. After him telling me he doesn’t eat dessert he proceeds to eat half. It was truly yummy. We will definitely be back.

We stumbled into this place to kill time the other night and felt so lucky. We lucked out having the owner and wine maker to pour us a tasting. And the wines were spectacular. Our introduction to Lodi wines couldn’t have started on a higher note. Aside from how phenomenal the wine was the story and family legacy of this place was rich, humble and enjoyable to learn. Can’t recommend this place enough!

Guests can indulge in innovative dishes such as the smoked salmon scramble or corned beef hash for brunch, all served in a modern and cozy setting.
My husband and I ate here yesterday to celebrate 10 years of marriage, and we could not have dreamed up a better experience! We got to meet Victoria, who handles the midology class and the drink menu here and she is a GENIUS! The espresso martini and their Date-Maple old fashioned are the best we have ever had, I normally do not drink bourbon or whiskey but again, she's is a genius and I will only ever have an old fashioned if she is the one behind it. We also got to meet Amber and Sean at their bar area, which coincidentally is mine and my husbands name! It was serendipitous, a sign this weekend was meant to be. Everyone was so friendly and warm and welcoming. Now to dinner, our waitress Maya was a saint. She was so friendly, helpful and on it! Everything was perfectly paced, and she was so helpful! The food was 10/10, everything we ordered we thoroughly enjoyed. I will dream of their steak, and hamachi tartare. They even gave us complimentary prosecco to toast our anniversary, which was so sweet and thoughtful. This was definitely a splurge for us, but so worth it! Overall we absolutely loved our experience, the food and the ambiance and we can not wait until we are able to come back and relive the experience. Thank you Americana house and Appelation for such a beautiful weekend.

Beautiful place for nice ambiance and for Valentine's day . The set 4 course meals could of had better options with bigger portions, especially for The price we paid. cocktails was exquisite and they did not cheap out on the alcohol when making good cocktails. Outside seating was cold, I wish they had more heaters. inside lounge area was taken away for valentine's dining, so no really bar lounge area to sit. Good guitar live music was a nice touch. Overall we had a good time but probably would have gone somewhere else for Valentine's. Everyday dinner here is completely different, plenty of options for dinner and bigger portions. I recommend coming here on a regular day and not for a set course menu.

When I stepped foot onto this place, it felt like an oasis. Along with outside of this restaurant. The trees, flowers and even there was cockatiels and macaws to see. It's good to hear that the folks take care of their landscape job. I enjoyed every bit of this beautiful scenery outside. They do have a beautiful garden too, it's very lovely! The interior of this place is fantastic, it was relaxing and the waitress was very sweet. I got their special that wasn't on the menu and they do have good service here. Their bathroom is very fancy and vintage, which I dig that design! Overall, the rest of the staff is friendly and they're willing to help us if there's any questions.

---- Introduction: ---- Towne House Restaurant, located at Wine & Roses in Lodi, California, offers a high-end dining experience with an exceptional atmosphere and top-notch service. Nestled within the beautiful grounds of Wine & Roses, this restaurant provides a unique and delightful culinary journey. ---- Atmosphere:---- - Outside: The restaurant is located on the side of Wine & Roses, behind their café. The setting is picturesque, surrounded by trees and gardens, giving you the feel of being in wine country. You can see caged birds, including parrots, and enjoy a peaceful walk through the grounds. - Inside: The interior continues the theme of the lush exterior, with a country, mama's cooking atmosphere. The restaurant is in a historic house, offering a cozy and inviting ambiance. The tables are elegantly decorated with thick cloths, and the numerous windows provide plenty of natural light and views of the beautiful garden and outdoor seating area. Food Quality: Asparagus: Asparagus can be prepared in two ways: grilled or in a cold salad. Both versions are exceptional. - Primary Burger: The burger is juicy and delicious, made from ground steak meat and cooked to medium-rare perfection. The aioli sauce used is one of a kind and enhances the burger's flavor. - Pork Sandwich: The pork is tender and well-prepared, with a thin, perfectly seared slab. The bun is soft and moist, with a hint of olive oil that adds a refreshing flavor. - Fries: The fries are crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside, making them perfect. - Steak: While not a steakhouse, the restaurant prepares its steak better than many steakhouses. It is highly recommended. - Pasta and Lasagna: All pasta and sauces are made from scratch in the morning. The lasagna is amazing, with well-held-together layers and a blend of flavorful cheeses. - Desserts: The desserts change seasonally but are always great. Every dessert tried has been perfect. ---- Service:---- The service at Towne House Restaurant is superb, with staff providing a 10 out of 10 experience. They are attentive and knowledgeable about the menu, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. The quality of service is on par with that of very high-end restaurants. ---- Cleanliness: ---- The restaurant is well-kept and very clean. The floors, tables, chairs, and other furniture are meticulously maintained, contributing to a pleasant dining experience. ---- Service Dog Accommodation: ---- The restaurant is very accommodating and respectful regarding service animals. They ask the appropriate questions and ensure that seating arrangements are comfortable for guests with service animals. ---- Value for Money: ---- Towne House Restaurant offers exceptional food and service at reasonable prices. Unlike many high-end restaurants with high prices, this place provides high-quality food for a reasonable cost, making it an excellent value for the money. ---- Overall Experience: ---- I highly recommend Towne House Restaurant to anyone in the Lodi area. It is a hidden gem with outstanding food, service, and atmosphere. This restaurant deserves recognition, and it should be Michelin star-rated. If you are looking for a delightful dining experience, Towne House Restaurant is the place to go.

The duck was perfect and extremely generous in portion. The stone fruit appetizer, was a portion disappointment however, but must say it was perfect! I was reassured that the peaches, etc. are sourced from the same farm that supplies for French Laundry, I guess that makes me feel better about $16 for a few slices of fruit. Loved all the flavors of my dishes and the relaxed vibe of the place. Service was solid.

Imagine a failed fine-dining experience in the 90s before America found its own, delightful way to gastronomic greatness. The atmosphere at Towne House was neither formal (a busy table of Cab-soused patrons kept making that statement loud and clear) nor casual, but floated in the uncomfortable limbo of "trying too hard." I must admit, when I got in, a welcoming piano bar raised my expectations. Perhaps I should have stopped there, ordered a Pinot from a local winery and chatted with the bartender who wore a magnificent U-shaped mustache and squinted smiling eyes that would convince any reasonable human being to become his best friend without further ado. I was not reasonable, however, and blindly walked my way into the dining room. Tidy, with an efficient layout, some warming touches of walnut wood and clean white tablecloths - a consultant might have helped - but lacking the soul and stories that fill a space with its true essence. I didn't find the soul and stories in the food either. The grilled oysters I was served never saw the spark of a flame. They tasted like naked boiled mollusques drown in green briny oil (felt like pesto met garlic butter but the date quickly turned sour.) The "Honest acres greens" were anything but honest. The whitish watery vinaigrette was a culinary scam, and the rescue team is still looking for the rare snow peas buried underneath the sad little red leaf hill. The chicken came with a flat ball of wet spinach, onion noodles, and squash still deciding whether it was broiled or boiled. Thankfully there was pepper and salt on the table - like in the 90s! I skipped dessert. Do you remember now that failed fine-dining experience from the 90s? These restaurants were expensive but felt cheap. Note: the staff was super friendly and professional.

Beautiful winery. First visit to the Cafe was awesome. Food was delicious with large portions. Customer service was awesome. With our large group they were very patient and ensured we were happy with our visit. The food came out within 15 min of ordering. Will most Def be back for the tasting and homemade pies.

Nice winery in Lodi. They have a deli and lot of seating area outside. They also have a pizza oven and a pretty flower garden. Tasting costs $15 per person. Nice place to come with family and enjoy outdoor seating.

Michael David does not leave anything out when it comes to a gorgeous setting or ambiance. 🌅 One of the prettiest wineries I've seen. Gently sloping elevations. Seating settings that are reminiscent of a Tuscany portico. The wine was delicious including the whimsical slightly sweet white called "Symphony". Took two bottles home. 😋 Their wine bar has an indoor open air feel with a semicircle round to enjoy the sunshine and gentle breeze. The garden was filled dahlias, zinnias, sunflowers and so many others. Truly a beautiful stroll with a glass of wine and friend.

My favorite place for breakfast. The food and service have always been incredible. They rotate their specials so there is something good and different through the seasons. After breakfast we always walk around their back Garden area. And there is a beautiful playground for kids under 10. This place never fails.

The wines here are exceptional! We only went home with 4 bottles, but we could have left with so many more! Yvette took us on an exciting palate journey (off menu). The grounds are beautiful! If you're a wine enthusiast and in Lodi, you definitely need to stop by here!

First time going to this winery, the garden was so wonderful. I didn't know that we could order pizza from this place too. Was here on April 6, 2024 and I have to say that the staff are friendly. Even though it was really loud inside, I was able to have outdoor seating to enjoy some wine tasting. My parents, my nana and her husband were able to have some crackers, spreads and cheeses along with our wine. The designs on each wine bottle are really awesome, especially the Freakshow bottle. Our server is able to tell us each detail about the history and how consistent our selected wine was. Overall, I would definitely going back to this winery again for a relaxing day out. This destination is a good recommendation to those that want to go to Lodi for a day trip. Everything about this place is amazing! I got some good photos of the flowers and even the view too.

With an array of toppings ranging from classic pepperoni to unexpected choices like apple slices, you can create a flavor-packed masterpiece for around $9.
First time coming to Lodi, tried this place with my co worker really enjoyed it. Nice place to sit down after being in the car for a long time. Margherita pizza is my favorite would definitely recommend.

1st time here. Ordered the Original Smack Pie.(Pepperoni) The place is moderately clean and friendly in a sense. Now getting the pizza! Presentation is spot on. Very appealing to the eyes. Although it lacked uniformity when it comes down to the bite. All the sauce was towards the rim of the crust and they burnt the crust underneath adding a displeasing taste overall. Place wasn't busy either. I'd say its a bit over priced and I had better. Thx for the experience

I have tried this place maybe 5 times and the last 3 times they have dropped the ball. While their pizza is decent, the times it has been undercooked is unbelievable. Quality matters and undercooked food is just unacceptable. The staff needs to be more attentive when mistakes happen and maybe a "sorry" to the customer would help. I hope they do better.

As always one of the biggest considerations for my family is allergy friendly places. Smack pie nails that department. They have Gluten free crust and vegan cheese making it something that even with all our allergies we can still find something to eat. They have a great atmosphere, great selection, and competitive prices. I highly recommend this place! The thing is, the food is also amazing. One of the best pizzas I have ever had. Very much worth it.

We ended up swinging by this place to kill some time due to some paint drying! All I can say is WOW. The flavors that are coming out of this place are unreal. Jam packed with pure awesomeness everywhere. The “sauce” that seemed to have coconut and peanut sauce combined was absolutely life changing! The fresh spring rolls were pure perfection. The service was top notch. The atmosphere was very relaxed and inviting. Next time we are cruising through Lodi we are totally stopping by this GEM!!!

Update: 4% “admin fee” on credit card charges, rice is not included with entrées —— We came here many years ago, weren’t impressed with the food then. When we drove by recently, we decided to give it another try.The place still looked the same, the service was great, the servers were super friendly, and the food was good (slightly on the sweeter side) We ordered 2 vegetarian dishes, we loved all of the fresh ingredients, especially varieties of fresh vegetables, which is hard to find nowadays at other restaurants. They were busy, almost a full house. Everyone seemed to enjoy their food

The food was good, pretty neat to view all of the antique model trains there and one of the going around the track above head while you are seated. They have a nice sized menu to choose from. Even for being a location that has been around for many of years, the location was clean EVEN the restroom. I know we will go back. It seemed like a well frequented location.

When I eat here I feel like I’m eating at my grandparents house as a kid. Awesome, tasty meals with large portions. As you might have seen in other review photos, there are collectible trains EVERYWHERE. Golden Ox seems like something between a regular sit down restaurant and a lunch diner. The outside design of the business doesn’t scream HEY STOP HERE, but it should. Since this is on Highway 12 (Kettleman) it’s a perfect stop if you’re traveling Highway 12 through Lodi. It’s family owned and a long time staple of the city. I will always say yes if someone wants to eat here. Don’t forget to ask the counter employees to activate the special model train that goes around the whole restaurant. 🚂

Owned by Richard Berardi and his family, this cozy spot has been serving up mouth-watering dishes since 2005. The inviting aroma wafting from the kitchen sets the stage for an unforgettable dining experience.
I am glad I found this place. I have roots with BBQ that stem from Oklahoma and Texas. I’ve had some life changing experiences when it comes to BBQ. The service was absolutely fantastic. My drink never went below halfway. The atmosphere was filled with folks smiling and plenty of full bellies. I ended up going with a 3 meat special and chose the following: tri tip/brisket/pulled pork! Trip tip was new to me here being in NorCal only for last three years! I absolutely loved the Tri tip. That was the star of the show!!! The sweet potato fries were fried to a perfection! The corn bread muffin was cooked to a perfect crisp for the muffin top! Who doesn’t love muffin tops???? The smoke flavor in the meat was a bit light for my liking however all of it was super tender!

Visited two times last week. Both times had sandwiches. One was the Pulled pork and the other one was the smoked turkey. Both were flavorful in their own way. Both meats felt low in added seasonings which I personally enjoyed. The Turkey Sandwich includes avocado inside. Their BBQ sauces are quite delicious. The staff is friendly and focused on attention. The restaurant has parking on its side. Drink+side included be prepared to spend 25-30 dollars per meal.

Came at 11:30 am on a Saturday and was seated right away. Ordered the 4 bone pork rib meal with mac and cheese $19, 1/2 lb brisket $18, tri tip chili with cornbread $15, and medium side of coleslaw $9. Ribs were ok, some dry some really fatty pieces, seasoned well, meat comes off the bone ok. Brisket was decent, mix of fatty and lean pieces. Tri tip chili was ok, more like a tri tip stew, lots of meat but practically no beans, little bit of tomatoes. Cornbread was decent. Mac and cheese was ok. Prices and portions were reasonable. They have indoor and outdoor seating, first come first serve. Table service. Service was decent. They have 10 beers on tap, some generic and some craft. Overall, the food was pretty mediocre. I can't recommend it

If you haven’t tried the loaded baked potato at Tin Roof Barbecue, you’re seriously missing out. This thing is a full meal and then some! I ordered mine with tri-tip, chili, and pulled pork—and let me tell you, every bite was packed with flavor. The tri-tip was tender and smoky, the chili had just the right amount of kick, and the pulled pork was melt-in-your-mouth good. All of it piled high on a perfectly baked potato, with all the classic fixings to tie it together. It’s rich, hearty, and hits every craving at once. You can tell Tin Roof puts real care into their barbecue. The flavors are bold but balanced, and the portions are generous. It’s the kind of meal that leaves you full, happy, and already planning your next visit. Highly recommend for anyone who loves real, Southern-style comfort food done right!

This place was pretty good. From the environment to the service to the food I would give it an over all 8. Our server Drew was very informative and knew his menu. Very helpful. We ordered the 4 meat plate that comes with choices of meat we chose double tri-tip, 3 ribs, brisket, one corn bread and 1 side of choice (we picked their Mac and Cheese with sausage). It's about $32 for that plate. We shared it among 4 of us (2 adults & 2 children) we also ordered an extra rib plate 4 piece that came with 1 side we chose French fries, best fries ever by the way. That plate was about $18. I have to say the ribs, Mac and fries were our favorites of the food we ordered today. Definitely want to go back and try their sandwiches and other menu items. They have a ton of options to choose from. I'm sure there will be something to eat for someone. They also make their own home made sauces and ranch as well. We sat outside which was nice and they have heaters outside as well for cooler days. I also brought my fur baby and they didn't even question him there. Anyways, you gotta try it here.

The fare is delicious, and the attentive waitstaff impresses with their ability to remember complex orders. The establishment maintains a clean environment, featuring tables designed like playing cards. However, one downside is that there can be an unpleasant aroma from the neighboring nail salon which may not complement the enjoyable dining experience.

The restaurant was clean and the tables were unique with menus laid out like playing cards. Only downfall I can say is the smell from next door carried over into the restaurant. It had a little bit of nail salon smell to it, it doesnt really mix well when you are trying to eat good food. I understand it's not your guy's fault either but still a good burger place to go to.

The place has awesome cool eclectic decorations everywhere. You can buy huge bottles of Root Beer. So understand that when you order a root beer float it’s gonna be an experience.

Everything we got was perfect and the topper was that huge root beer float in a chilled mug. This place is a must try.

They hire great people, or good actors😉.

The girls and I went to In-N-Out on a Thursday night and had a wonderful experience. We went through the drive-thru and were greeted with such kind words and warm gestures. The lady who handed us our food was incredibly nice and polite—truly the definition of great customer service. She made our night with her positive attitude and professionalism! Thank you to Cierra! (Not sure if that’s how you actually spell her name!) But she was amazing and made our entire night. Definitely will go again just for her!

My favorite burger place. Fries are awesome, burgers are tasty. In a way I'm lucky that there isn't an in and out burger in Sonora because I'd probably eat too many burgers.

I recently visited In-N-Out Burger, and it was a fantastic experience. The staff were friendly and efficient, making the visit enjoyable from start to finish. Despite the usual busy atmosphere, the team stayed positive and professional, ensuring every customer felt welcome. The food quality was excellent as always. The Double-Double burger was juicy and full of flavor, with fresh lettuce, tomato, and melted cheese. The fries, made from fresh potatoes and cooked in 100% pure sunflower oil, were crispy and perfectly salted. If you want something special, their "Animal Style" fries topped with cheese, spread, and grilled onions are a tasty twist. In-N-Out’s focus on fresh, never frozen ingredients and great customer service really shows. The clean and inviting atmosphere made the meal even better. Whether it’s your first time or you’re a regular, In-N-Out always delivers a top-notch fast-food experience. Overall, my visit was very enjoyable, and I’m looking forward to going back for another delicious meal.

In-N-Out-Burger -- There's not much else to say. Their food is good, but more importantly, it is consistent from location to location. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The one thing I don't understand -- and something I've experienced at every single location -- is why there seems to be a hundred cars lined up for drive-thru service, while inside the restaurant, the place is practically empty

I drove an hour before my daughter’s swim lessons. I wanted to go to target before swim lessons but I was so hungry. So of course had to stop at In-N-out while by toddler napped. So I get in the drive thru line, order my meal and right before I get ready to pay, I realized I forgot my wallet. I told the cashier I’m sorry, I forgot my wallet ! Just cancel my order, so sorry. Ayden the cashier said nope don’t worry about it! I got it. I told him no no please don’t . He said nope it’s done. I told him thank you so much. I was in complete shock! I got so emotional 😩. Driving away . Best service!

McDonald's is a beloved fast-food institution that has stood the test of time, famous for its mouthwatering burgers and crispy fries. During my recent visit, I had a little mishap when I accidentally left my wallet behind after enjoying a delicious lunch. To my relief, upon returning nearly two hours later, the staff had found it and kept it safe for me. Their kindness truly made my day!
I dropped my wallet at this place after having lunch. I didn’t realize it until I was almost 2 hours away. I drove back and they had found it and kept it for me. Thank you so much. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Incompetence here with the employees. No communication, no sense of urgency, walk past the ppl waiting to order. I didnt even get to order after waiting 10 min i walked out and it wasnt even busy.

Came around 9 to 9:30pm, and the night shift is the worst staff ever. Not one or two, ALL of them. My husband and I were very detailed about a mocha and a plain cheeseburger, lady at the first window walked away for a few minutes took my card and gave it back no thank you or anything. The 2 men at the second window were worse. He gave me the opposite of what I ordered then when I corrected him nicely he took it from me and walked to fix it with an upset strut an facial expression. As if I was a burden for him to do his job correctly. Then they gave us the bag and he closed the door quickly. No ketchup or napkins so I waited. 5 to 8 min he finally came to the window and I said I need ketchup and napkins and hes like "OH!" And handed it to me as half of them fell out of my hand. I told him to "Do Better". The entire vibe there from all the night shift at this location is horrifying. You can feel the negativity in them all. And on the road back home my husband bit into his sandwhich to realize it was filled eith everything he asked to leave out. Our entire order was wrong. And his fries were so cold and hard as if they were old. Never coming here again. Ruined my past experiences from a few bad night employees.

Sat at the drive thru window for 10 minutes. Burger buns were burnt. Had to wait longer for our drinks as they said they gave them to the person in front of us. No communication with employees. Glad I packed snacks because my kids wouldn't eat the burnt burgers.

They served me and my 9 year old raw food. my two boys and I went into the restaurant to order food. The first thing I ordered was a six piece chicken nugget. Happy meal with apple slices. That is exactly how I ordered it. The gentleman behind the counter asked me what size I wanted. I responded with. I did not know they made happy meals in different sizes. That point he realized his mistake and did his computer thing to put the order in properly. I then ordered a number three regular sized with a Sprite. I then said no mustard no pickles. I then ordered a number three large sized with a sweet tea with no ice. I then said no pickles extra onions. Upon receiving my order I received the following. – A correct happy meal order -two correctly customized double quarter pounder‘s – a sweet tea with no ice No fries no sprite. When I asked where the rest of my food was, I was told that I ordered burgers only. I explained that that is not how I ordered it and it was clear that I was ordering the meal. He acknowledged that I said large sized but still insisted that I only ordered burgers. Two other people in line , both agreed with me. The store employees however, proceeded to argue. I said fine ring me up for the rest of my food I need drinks and fries. The young lady behind the counter proceeded to give me a couple of medium fries, but I still had no drink for my son. When I inquired about that, I got more attitude . We then sat down to eat our food, and I will admit I was not paying attention, but when I looked down at my burger, it was completely raw. I took it back up and gave it to the young lady behind the counter, who then handed it to a gentleman that was cooking. His response was yuck. they asked me if I wanted a refund or another burger. Trust me, I would’ve rather had the refund but I had not eaten anything since 530 that morning it was not 8pm and I was starving. That was a mistake. Since eating that burger my son isn't feeling well and I threw up before I ever left the property. Unfortunately that has continued . There is more but that's enough on the visible description side. By far the worst, I will say restaurant, but definitely the worst McDonald’s experience I have ever had. this restaurant needs serious management help/replacement. They do not know how to take orders, they do not know how to treat customers, they don’t even know how to cook the food. In the bathroom, both soap dispensers had the battery compartment sitting on the counter. Rendering them inoperable. Aside from the bathroom being filthy, the rest of the restaurant, however, was pretty clean so at least they got that right.

DO NOT EAT HERE!!! There was raw animal blood on my egg in the egg McMuffin! There's a danger of cross contamination here!!! The cashier was rude as well. There was an employee in and out of the bathroom. I thought it was being cleaned, but when I went in to use the bathroom. NOTHING was cleaned! All the toilets were absolutely filthy. And the employee was in one of the stalls later, but she was completely silent. Definitely not cleaning, probably texting or just sitting.

Let's discuss the most astonishing aspect of this visit to Kabob & Gyro Grill, a Mediterranean restaurant. The fries were exceptional, possibly the finest I've ever tasted. Even though they were not my main reason for coming here, I am tempted to return just for them. Both myself and my companion chose lamb gyros, accompanied by hummus and pita bread as well as somshi (perhaps misspelled). All the dishes were exceptionally delicious.
Stopped by here to pickup Mediterranean dinner, outside is unassuming. I opened the door and it was a little market inside. I asked the gentleman where the "Kabob & Gyro Grill" might be, and he motions me to come in. It turns out the restaurant is inside, part of the market. I ordered a beef and lamb plate to go and took it back with me. The meal was amazing. Mountain of meat, rice, hummus, yoghurt, salad with a giant pita bread. I ate it all, I was so insanely full afterwards but it was worth it. Told my wife that it was THE BEST Mediterranean food I've ever had and this place is my go-to from now on when I visit the area.

First off let me talk about the most surprising part of this experience. The fries were some of the best if not the best fries I have ever had in my life. I did not come here for fries but damn if I won't be coming back for more. Me and my lady each ordered a lamb gyro, we also ordered hummus with pita bread and somshi (probably spelling that wrong) and everything was absolutely incredible. The lamb was literally perfect, I have had lamb at 5 star restaurants and it wasn't as good as this, cut thin, incredibly tender, juicy and perfect. The humus was fresh and amazing, the smoshi was hot, cooked to perfection with amazing flavor. The customer service was amazing, very genuinely kind people and I felt like family immediately. This place is a hidden gem of the highest caliber, so go and experience it for yourself.

I was in Lodi to see a dentist and after the appointment i was looking for a halal place to grab a quick bite. I found this place thru Zabiha.,com . I went there and this place is side by side with a grocery/meat shop. I went in there the place was empty but then a guy came out and greeted me nicely. Asked him what is available and he mentioned what was available at that time. I ordered Shinka burger , double patty and it was so fresh, full of taste and delicious. It was that good that i ordered it two more to take it home. If i am in the area again, will definitely stop by this place and try other items as well.

I’m honestly so upset. We paid for 2 happy meals. My daughters wanted the hello kitty mutant turtle toy. Asked them if they could put different ones because last time it was the same ones. They said they can’t do that. And when I received my happy meals they were completely different toys. It was some sort of box animal. I just don’t understand why we don’t get what we paid for.

Shittest customer service from any McDonald’s in Lodi. Placed a breakfast order, waited in line for 15 minutes, pulled up to the speaker and waited another 5 minutes, it’s now 10:32 and they say “if it’s breakfast we’re canceling the order” no other options. I park, go inside to confirm the order is cancelled before I go spend $40 elsewhere and the two separate customers in front of me are able to order breakfast at 10:38, I ask if I’m still able to order breakfast and the employee says yes. Save your time and sanity

The worst experience at a McDonalds I’ve ever been through. “JEMINA” not sure if that’s correct spelling, could be a G to start her name because no one in that store has a name tag! Nonetheless she’s the worst manager at a McDonalds I’ve ever seen. Something needs to happen because she’s in the downtown/heart of city of Lodi Ca.. made an order and she gave me such a hard time and my order was on the counter with my order #. Seen it and said that’s it right there. She didn’t want to help me whatsoever before that. The food was already paid for she tried to blame the app. But the app wasn’t wrong. Grabbed my food but won’t ever come to this location EVER AGAIN

The employee, a guy with glasses, behaved very boorishly. At first, he directly ignored the request to open the toilet even though I had an order receipt, then refused to bring my order to the table for my order, even though I had the order number 42, he just shouted take it yourself, he didn't even put napkins there, the burger was not packed with paper and the coffee was cold. This is the first time I've been to this cafe and I won't be coming here again.

Denny's is a casual eatery chain that serves traditional American comfort cuisine, including popular breakfast dishes available all day. Upon arrival, a group of four was promptly seated without delay. After a brief wait of five minutes, they received their beverages and proceeded to order the classic sampler as an appetizer. Throughout the evening, their waitress Jenna ensured excellent service by taking orders and attentively attending to their needs. She consistently checked on them and provided top-notch assistance.
Came here on a Thursday morning around 3am and the place was quiet and chill. Our server was very friendly and nice and we were seated very quickly. We ordered the country fried steak with the cinnamon roll pancakes. The food came out in a few mins and it was very tasty. We left with our food finished and the pancakes to takeout. Overall great experience, great food, and a great server. Definitely would come back and recommend.

Went there this morning and tried to use my mobile app. Provided the code and clearly what I wanted didn't show up. Free hash brown with purchase of sausage muffin or egg sausage muffin all I see is the sandwich. They don't even acknowledge my code didn't take. So I ask them did you get my code? Yes. Well why don't I see my full order? Oh our system isn't working right now. That's it??? These kids should not be making $20 for stupidity and shitty customer service. The Wendy's down the street was my first option but for some reason they were closed. There's a million McDonald's on every other corner avoid this one.

I realize that we were early, around 6:30 am, but the restaurant needed to be cleaner. Quite a few dirty tables. I went back up to the counter to buy a cup of ice, but couldn't get anyone to help me, even when. I hollered at them. Went back up to the counter to purchase another ice tea and was waiting on it, the cashier had no change. I paid with cash because it was only ice tea which, Dad and I had to fumble around for change. The last issue was using the bathroom. It was locked, and we had to ask for it to be unlocked. It was very irritating. I hated to leave negative comments, but there was too much going on here

I was really hoping for a better experience this time, but unfortunately, the Lodi Chipotle still seems to be falling short. The restaurant was just as dirty and chaotic as I remember.

They charge .75 cents for ranch, and im fine with that if they filled the cups more than 1/4 full. It looks like more than that because it was shaken up in my to go bag but it barely has anything in it. I won't be getting this again, so disappointed 😞

i’m usually not one to complain about the portion sizes but holy, the guy working made my food so skimpy it was actual crumbs of chicken. when i asked for more he seemed annoyed. same thing happened to my sister she got a total of 6 tiny strips of carne asada. rather than having to make back ups, the employees rather give us what’s scraped on the bottom. it’s absolutely unacceptable for the price we pay.

Wife picked up dinner and we’ve already talked about this location going downhill but tonight was the worst. My burrito was the same size as a half corn cob with the majority of it being tortilla. Everything was cold and the mild salsa consisted of about 6 pieces of tomatoes. What’s sad is in the past they’ve dished out small portions and when asked for more they charge for double of what was a normal size portion. The only thing they’re not stingy with is rice. Took a couple bites and ended up throwing it away which is where it belonged in the first place. 👎

Blaze Pizza is a trendy pizzeria that offers delicious thin-crust pies with unique toppings and sauces. The service provided by the manager, Mati, is exceptional and sets this place apart from other pizza joints. The staff members are knowledgeable and passionate about their work, ensuring fast but high-quality pizzas. One can witness the entire pizza-making process as they oven roast it right in front of your eyes, adding an entertaining element to the dining experience.
We’re sort of regulars here at Blaze, normally we come in on Monday nights and it’s consistently Adriana and Carson and we are so happy everytime. I don’t normally take it upon myself to make reviews, especially because I wasn’t asked to, but I got the urge when we went in the other day and were a bit disappointed when we didn’t see Adriana or Carson working! We love most of the workers here, but I just wanted to thank Blaze pizza for having such good workers we, the costumers, miss them! I think everyone should try this place, you can make the pizza to your liking.

Last week I placed an order for 2 pizzas. When I got there the pizzas were ready I was very thankful since I live 35 minutes away from there. My biggest mistake was I didn't check my order. when I got home I opened my piazza and it was completely wrong. The label on the piazza box was right but the piazza inside was totally wrong. I took some time getting through to someone to get the order right. When I returned the gentleman had the right pizza for me after 2 hours of driving back and forth I had the right piazza. The upsetting part the didn't offer any for there mistake. He apologized but I feel like both pizzas should have been remade for my inconvenience.

Our first time ever going here was on Sunday 3/2/25 and they were out of nearly every ingredient. They also gave me my s’mores cookies cold, did not even offer to warm them up. My friend recommended these so when I told her they were not good she was surprised that they were cold and the service was so bad at this location. $60 later and I didn’t even get food I went in there for. Definitely won’t be back.

Well let's begin with the store, dinning room is filthy and is remaining this way. Staff hmmm.... They say they are the subway of pizza and they mean it... Now we purchased to pizzas. First the garlic white pizza and while you view this pie notice the holes in it where they added the wrong item and instead of making the correct pizza we paid for the guy just dug the wrong items out.. The second way made correctly but was complete on a hard burnt crust although notice the pies because both are burned on the edges.. Our table was dirty and we ask if we could get it wiped off and they replied just take a napkin and brush it off on the floor.. I will not eat here again.. Enjoy guy's

Good pizza , won’t say it’s the best I had . Nevertheless better than other chains . I went just before closing , might be because of that my pizza was a little sluggish. Staff were good. As it’s one of the best chains near by I will go again . The highlight is make our own pizza , it gives lot of flex

The Habit Burger Grill is a delightful fast-food destination where charbroiled burgers take center stage, complemented by an array of deli-style sandwiches, fresh salads, and crispy fries. On my first visit, I was pleasantly surprised by the quick service in a quiet atmosphere. I savored the ahi burger while my partner enjoyed a crispy chicken sandwich; both were accompanied by perfectly cooked sweet potato fries and tender roasted cauliflower that had just the right amount of seasoning.
The food was scrumptious and my whole family really enjoyed what we got. Everybody was friendly and helpful. The only downside was that there was one lonely onion on the booth we went to sit at. No biggie though. 10 out of 10 expirence. Will be back!!!!

Everything was great. First time eating there while visiting. The burger was very juicy and flavorful.

In recent months, we’ve helped this place live up to it’s name and made a habit of getting a meal here as a treat; here’s why: First, we love how easy the app makes take-out. Just a few taps and my food is ready for curbside pickup – usually in less than 15 minutes! Of course, that doesn’t matter if the foods not good – but the food are consistently great. Their charburgers are juicy and packed with smoky, savory flavor in every bite. And while burgers may be their specialty, their fries might just steal the show - they're hot, crispy, and downright addictive. My favorite is the BBQ Bacon Charburger with fries and sometimes a milkshake. Between the top-notch burgers, crispy, and easy ordering on the app, The Habit always satisfies my cravings and keeps us coming back.

A little cold inside for the older crowd. The food was amazing. CJ was extremely positive and kept everyone moving in unison getting orders out in a timely fashion. He was bringing orders directly to dine in customers and was spot on with great customer service and attention to detail. I really appreciate that in a leader. He needs to be a manager if he’s not. The other staff listened to him looked very happy to be there working. We visited the evening of 7/16/25. Great team work all the way around from the employees.

Habit has great burgers and fries. The staff is courteous and accommodating. I ordered the BBQ Bacon Char, with garlic fries and a drink, and was not disappointed with the quality or service. I’d definitely give this place a try, so you can decide for yourself.

This place wasn't good at all or even wrost. Not a lot of parking space. The burger with the fires a bit expensive, not that tasty. Very salty of both the french fries & the burger. I asked for cup of ranch, but now they charge for it. The new manager & the new cooker a bit rude. They been watching me & very uncomfortable staring at me while I'm eating less 30 minutes. One of the cooker tell me that "you not allowed take your cup with you when you leaving". I'm telling the cooker I bought it inside the restaurant & I can take it when I leave. Never have before telling me. Honestly next time I'm sticking "In n Out burger" because the burger is good & service more respect then "The Habit Burger". I'm guessing why less customers don't show up here.

10/12/2022: Visited this site for the first time. No one was in the restaurant so we were able to get our food quickly. I had the ahi burger, hubby had the crispy chicken sandwich, and we both had the sweet potato fries and shared the roasted cauliflower. The cauliflower was done well as they were tender, had bits of char, and seasoned well. The sweet potato fries were done perfectly. We both enjoyed our sandwiches. They were prepared well, though there wasn't anything special about them. The staff were very nice and friendly.

Food was good but the inside tables and floors were nasty. One staff member was just standing around instead of cleaning up. I had to wipe my own table down and seat just to sit and wait.

Wienerschnitzel is a beloved fast-food chain that specializes in an array of hot dogs, alongside delicious chili burgers and sandwiches. Many patrons fondly recall their experiences here, often reminiscing about the tasty chili dogs and corn dogs that have been a staple for years. While some customers have noted changes in portion sizes and pricing, they still appreciate the quality of food reminiscent of their childhood visits.
The staff that was working tonight were nice and helped the customer that needed help and they didn’t do it with a bad attitude just want to say ur teams Great

Used to go here quite often, have cut back for a couple reasons. Cost is only one reason, the lack giving trays for dine in, and the removal of the soda station and condiment area are mostly to blame. It is a way to urge people not to eat there so they don't have to clean the dining room, just a sad practice in my opinion.
Darrin W — Google review
Since when do chilli dogs cost as much as a regular restaurant? Ordered chilli dogs with onions on them and it was more like an onion dog with a side of hotdog. Inedible. After scraping the coating of onions off the top there was just a hot dog with some chilli sauce on it.

A great Chicago veggie dog!

06/12/2024 I had a coupon for chili dogs, corn dogs, and chili cheese fries. This helped a lot with the price. I probably would need another coupon when I come back because the prices seemed high for me. The food was good, about the same as when I used to come here when I was younger. The chili dogs and corn dogs also seemed to be smaller than before. The customer service was fast and excellent. The dining area was very clean.
