Restaurants in Atwater

“Kathy and I have always enjoyed the Jantz Café starting 20 years ago or so. The friendly faces as you walk in the staff and patrons seem all to be cheerful, everyone enjoying a great meal.Each time we came to California Kathy looked forward to going to the Jantz Café.”

“Couldn't wait to come here and try the food. We were not disappointed. Portions were huge, food was hot and delicious. Jeff was very welcoming and we definitely recommend this establishment.”

“Love their food and service is always amazing!!!”

“I’ve been an avid customer for more than 17 years. Majority of the time I eat solo because I run errands or have appointments after I eat there however I’ve introduced my family to this wonderful little cafe whenever they are in town. They all are big fans of Granny’s and always want to go there when in town. By the way my fam is from Santa Barbara & Los Angeles! Besides enjoying a nice meal I love talking with my fellow customers that’s one of the pluses of a small town cafe. Sad to see someone had a bad experience thank heaven that’s the exception not the norm. Granny’s is the only place I eat pancakes at usually in place of toast plus I love that they offer fresh fruit 🍉 not canned. Also enjoy their daily soup, split pea being one of my favs, also love their Taco salad. Well I could go on and on with various things I enjoy however some things you’ll have to try for yourself. As far as service it’s always been good for me however I know there has been changes and with that there is a learning time with new personnel. I’m sure everyone has had a good or bad experience now and then when eating out, here’s wishing you a great experience when come to this little towns cafe❤️”

“I've been coming here for maybe about a year, about 2 or 3 times a month. The food is very good. The orange chicken is ok. That's my only critique. I've had their teriyaki chicken, chow mein, fried rice, sesami chicken, honey walnut shrimp, and a few of their appetizers. All of them are very good. The inside looks clean. You get a big portion for what you pay for. And the staff is very friendly. I like this place a lot.”

“We were charged an extra $13.00 for items we didn’t order. Not much flavor in the food or the Bloody Mary.”

“Good old fashion comfort food. It's kind of busy and it seems their short-handed but under the circumstances, it's worth the wait. Nice hardworking folks, too.”

“I got a meatball on wheat and my partner had a turkey on white both were absolutely amazing the meats cheeses spices veggies and bread all perfect even reheated my second half and bread didn’t get weird 10/10 would recommend”

“This was my first time . And wow it was fantastic one of the best breakfast burrito I have ever eaten. And I've eatin a lot of burritos from a lot of different places and I give Rauls Taco Box a 10 out 10. I will go back . This is my new spot from now on.”

“Great customer service, greeted me at door. Let me know the deals of the day as well posted on wall other deals. Fast and friendly. Clean inside as well the cleaningness of changing out gloves so there's no cross contamination.”

“Vegan options and they change their gloves to make it. Nice!”

“I've always loved Jams 209 since they opened in Atwater but I'm so happy theyve stayed open for delivery (and now outdoor seating) during the pandemic and still pumping out delicious food! I love the staff and while I will keep supporting thru pickup now....looking forward to the day I can come back and enjoy the fun atmosphere & friendly employees again as well 🙂”

“First time here and it did not disappoint! The food was delicious. I ordered the steak and salmon. The salmon was perfectly cooked and the steak was really good too. The portions were generous and worth the price. I’m definitely going to have to come back and try more of their meats!”

“Some of my best memories with my grandfather and all the truckers that used to stop in. Go ask for the biscuits and gravy on the side. Try butter and jam on one and see how you like it. instantly brings back memories of Grandma's and Grandpa cooking with freshest coffee ☕ in town. Made with the cleanest Atwater 💦🌊💦. 👍 👍 👍”

“Great customer service! Apart from their delicious pan dulce, I purchased my wedding cake from them. It was really well done for a reasonable price and delicious! The cake baker/decorator did a really good job.”

“Friendly service and yummy donuts.”

“Always fresh, consistent, and tasty. Coupons and specials make the price perfect (we were Round Table people for years). Their specialty pizzas are great! We order delivery usually and the pizza is always hot and right on time, very nice delivery drivers as well!”

“Blanca is the best bartender ever, she is always so friendly, and makes great, delicious drinks.

The live music is always amazing, you can discover so many local talents.

If you want great service and some amazing entertainment this is the place to be in little ole Atwater.”

“Great food for a great value.”

“Small coffee $2 as of 2025.
Rating is only for the coffee. It was a bit watered down.

But service was excellent!

They were U/C today but they look like they are expanding their offerings to housewares and other items (possibly imported).

I can't wait to see them grow and to try their bread.”

“Great environment and awesome people and good place to work out. 💪🏼💪🏼”

“Food was delicious, had great service . Server Elizabeth was very attentive & pleasant . Over all had a nice dinner . Will be coming back again .”

“First time eating here, & Oh my this is the best Mexican food in town. The host & the cook came to our table & told us the history of the food & family. Very friendly, great atmosphere & real authentic Mexican food. Why have I never eaten here in 10 yrs I've been here until tonight!! I will be back for sure A+++++”

“Always welcomed with a smile and friendly service order a a mocha frappe and a strawberry refresher with water and peach juice drinks are always right on with taste”

“Somehow I've worked in Atwater for nearly 10 years, and just now found out about the absolute gem! I tried the butter chicken, the dahl makhni, samosas, and garlic naan bread. I knew i was in for an amazing experience the instant I walked through the door and breathed in the glorious smell of their wonderful cooking, and was greeted with a smile by the a very kind gentleman.
I am not exaggerating when I say their food absolutely rocked my world! It was SO delicious! It was so good, I lost my usual self control, and ate until I was absolutely stuffed, and I still have enough leftovers for my lunch tomorrow, because they are very generous with their portions for a very reasonable price. Everything was cooked to complete perfection, and seasoned wonderfully. I will absolutely be a repeat customer going forward, and I definitely reccomend them to anybody and everybody.”

“I just tried your wings and all flavors were amazing!”

“I really enjoyed visiting this place. The food was really good and came out fast. The place was clean and the staff were very quick and so friendly!! I will be coming again soon!”

“The people working there, how clean it was, the nice size patio with 6 picknick tables, and the food was great”

“I go to phantoms probably more than I should. But we love this truck! One of the best ones in this little town. The tacos are amazing! ❤️”

“This is our favorite Chinese restaurant in the area. The food is always fresh and delicious. The other reviews claiming that Panda is better clearly indicates that they don’t know what good Chinese food tastes like. Panda is ok in a pinch, but I would definitely rather eat here. It is a small, family run business, so sometimes there is a little bit of a wait, but it’s worth it. My husband is Chinese and this is authentic, Cantonese style, Chinese food. Also the complaints about price are way off base, because they have large portions and we always have a lot of leftovers. Some of our favorites are teriyaki chicken, chicken chow fun, tomato beef chow mein with pan fried noodles, steamed fish fillet, coconut shrimp (no batter) chicken chow mein, pot stickers, sizzling rice soup, etc..I am gluten intolerant and they have always been conscientious of that, when I asked, recommending gluten friendly options. We have never had a bad meal here whether we dine in or do takeout.”

“Food looked and tasted amazing. Menu had photos and overall just a very good place. The waitress also ran out to give a woman her bag which she forgot, very cool.”

“We stopped by for a victory celebration. We all enjoyed the delicious yogurt! And made each one unique with our various toppings. Love the amazing selection of toppings! I try to have yogurt for all of them. Haha. Great service. Spotlessly clean dining experience!”

“It's like going to your tía's house, from the warm welcome to the quality food. You can taste the love and pride in each bite. I had a perfectly seasoned and cooked seafood caldo. Everything was tender or had the right amount of chew. Will definitely be back to try more dishes. ¡Gracias!”

“PLEASE just don’t go here..”

“I asked for extra salsa every time and it seems like I tell em no salsa…meat always extra crunchy for sitting on the grill…they never get my order right!! Seems like they don’t want their business to have regular costumers!!”

“I ordered a taro milk tea with boba. My first sip was delicious, but the ones following, I could taste the powder and grittiness. I understand that it’s newly open, so have looked past it, but I hope this mistake is corrected in the future.”

“Im a picky eater, this place offers decent fresh food compared to other places.

The negative reviews on here are usually people who always have something to complain about lol ✅️💯 and want good quality to be cheap, unreasonable lol.”

“Delious hamburgers and fries. They are at least a 1/2 lb burgers! Always good....ate there today! So good!”

“The best Starbucks I've ever been to in my life, thank you all🙌🤤”

“it's just all around good food”

“The rosca, was soft and delicious. My family and I are extremely particular when it comes to pan dulce. This was the first time buying from this panadería. This rosca definitely won us over and will be coming back. Also, I'm glad they had some, because the one back home, was only pre-orders. So I was in a rush trying to find a rosca. They definitely saved our Tres Reyes Magos Day. ???????????? I have to acknowledge their customer service as well. They were amazing! ✨”

“I recently had the pleasure of trying the smoked brisket sandwich and clam chowder at Sourdough & Co, and I must admit, I was thoroughly impressed! The smoked brisket sandwich was an absolute masterpiece - the meat was tender and full of flavor. Every time I visit this place, it impresses me with its great food and service, especially Raj and his wife, who lead a very friendly staff. it’s the experience. The friendly and knowledgeable staff are always on hand to provide recommendations and ensure that every visit is nothing short of exceptional. Whether you’re dining in or grabbing a sandwich to go, you’re guaranteed a memorable experience from start to finish.”

“I’ve come to hate kfc for subpar food and rather go to Popeyes but my goodness THIS kfc is soo bomb. Super clean, nice and ac’d. Lorena the manager was great and should be kept at all cost!”

“My favorite place to go for lunch!”

“Tried the pineapple pastor tacos, asada tacos and vegetable tacos. All were great, made just how I asked, and had lots of meat! The pastor was my favorite tonight. I'll be back, again! Yum ? ?”

“I eat here 2 or 3 times a week, sometimes. I usually get a taco salad or tacos, but today, I ordered the Ceviche. At $4.50 it's the best deal in town, considering they pile enough on for two tostadas. Lots of big shrimp. I am PLEASED.”

“Love the berry burst salad!”

“Craig saved my taco bell life 🙏🙏🙏 forgot to order an item through the drive through and he said no problem. Got what I needed to live mas tonight. I hope your pillow is soft and cool every night Craig.”
