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❤️”

“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.”

“🍻 🌮 🎶 💪😎 💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥”

“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.”

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

“It's my favorite Chinese food spot in town hands down. They hook it up with the portions they gave. The flavor is always great and definitely healthier/better than panda express. I've been a fan of their food for 5 years now fr 😅😌💯 I love their food there's no other place I'd rather go to than here for Chinese quality food 😋”

“The food is delicious and the portions are large. We went on a Sunday at 3:00 PM and it was crowded, so the wait time was over 30 minutes. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is calm. I would definitely come back!”

“Drive up from Sacramento, googled Burrito and this place popped up. Ordered a Carne Asada Super Burrito, added chicken and grilled jalapenos. 10/10. Their salsa is breath taking 🔥 Also the lime cucumber water is a must have.”

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

“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.”

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

“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”

“I have been there two times now! Staff is very friendly. The coffee cake is absolutely delicious. I have had their vanilla latte and also their hazelnut latte. Both very delicious and flavorful. Highly recommend going in supporting a local coffee shop. They even have sugar-free and low calorie options for you to be able to put in your coffee. Did I mention that it’s Pete’s coffee. Very friendly staff. Will definitely be back.”

“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”

“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 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.”

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

“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!”

“Friendly service and yummy donuts.”

“The staff is friendly, professional, and attentive; and the atmosphere is relaxed with delicious coffees & teas and mouthwatering pastries. It’s definitely a favorite spot when I visit Castle Air Museum!”

“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.”

“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 💦🌊💦. 👍 👍 👍”

“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.”

“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!”

“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! ❤️”

“great food. we were there about 2:30pm Sunday afternoon and they were sold out of several items. but what we had was very good and big portions since they are a bit high in price. the harvest cheese sandwich is to die for. Sliders are huge and there are 3 of them. chicken strips were crisp on outside and juicy on inside. try it you won't be sorry”

“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.”

“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!”

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

“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 🙂”

“Grand opening today - at the Tarmac at Castle. A huge crowd enjoyed the dozen or so craft beers, playing games (bean toss), the food trucks and the live music. It was inside and outside (with portable heaters) and loads of fun.”

“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.”

“The first time I ate here was with my daughters. It was like being in my grandma's kitchen. Restaurant was very clean and smelled delicious. The waitress was very sweet and on top of it. Lots of food choices. Food was on our table pretty quickly. The second time was a triple family birthday dinner. Again everything was great and food was excellent. We will definitely be back again and again. Be sure to bring cash if you tip as their credit card system does not let you apply tip.”

“OMG best sandwich I’ve had in months!
I forgot my lunch today, so decided to take a chance on Deli Delicious in Atwater, CA. I’m so glad I did! Priscilla was friendly and pleasant, and she gave me her recommendation. I got the Pesto Turkey & Avocado medium 14” sandwich on Sourdough. WOW!! It was almost too beautiful to eat! The gentleman who made this sandwich is a true artist. It tasted so good and was very refreshing. The whole experience made my day! Bravo! 👏”

“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!”

“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.”

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

“Don't know the lady's name but she did an amazing job! I got my online order early and hot ! It tasted amazing 👏 I came in at about 635/645 for my order 😋 I will definitely be coming in again. After a long day at work the best thing was to have hot ready food and what made it even better IS I got it fast and it tasted amazing ! Thankyou atwater little cesars”

“Food was amazing with great flavor. Portions were large and great prices! Going back for taco Tuesdays for $1 tacos!”

“I been going to this store for about 3 years, 5 days a week. I always get excellent customer service. The girls that work there are so nice and friendly. The only problem I have there, is alot of times I go in and they are out of product. I don't blame the girls that work there, not their fault. The blame is on the owners. If a store doesn't have the right product, how can they sell the stuff on the menu? Overall this store is very clean, excellent customer service and the food is very good!”

“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.”

“This is the third time I’ve ordered for them for me and my husband food is AMAZING! Especially their carnitas . I love carnitas and aside from an outta town truck this one is definitely now my go to truck for my food. Definitely recommend going to their truck .”

“PLEASE just don’t go here..”

“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!”

“it's just all around good food”

“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.”

“Love the berry burst salad!”

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

“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 work nights so it's nice to have a option at midnight that's not a burger place. Prices are high except for the luxe boxes which are a very good deal and the employees are great, I love the drive thru girl with the piercings she is so nice and goes beyond to make customers happy!”

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

“Today was Mother’s Day, almost closing time, and the crew was slammed with customers! Me being one of them, with a line out the door. I couldn’t believe how well the team mates worked together as well as addressing the waiting customers! With smiles and laughter! Thank you for being a staple of our community”
