“Stopped for lunch a couple weeks ago. It was our first time dining at the Grateful Gypsy Bistro. I had the fresh pasta with bolognese, Hubby had a burger. We both were beyond impressed. My Bolognese was delicious! Best I’ve ever had from a restaurant. Imo- better than the one at Pasta Moon! Hubby’s burger was equally delicious… Food was amazing! Portions were plentiful. We will definitely be back!“
“Between Jackson and Stockton on Highway 12/88 in Lockeford halfway between the two is the best place to stop and get a cup of coffee so Chelsea next time you're in the area coming up to visit and Jason wants a cup of coffee treat yourself and stop at Day-O espresso. It's better than that one that's on every street corner from Seattle I think and not as expensive.“

“Worth the Detour: Daddy’s House of Ribs Delivers Smoky Perfection in Tiny Lockeford
Picture this: you’re cruising Highway 88 through the sleepy farm town of Lockeford, population 3,200, past the legendary Lockeford Meat & Sausage Co., when a hand-painted sign screams “RIBS” in red letters. Pull in. You’ve just found Daddy’s House of Ribs, a 40-seat BBQ shrine that smells like hickory heaven and feels like a family reunion you actually want to attend.
Owner Alvin “Big Daddy” Sims built the pit himself—an 8-foot beast that kisses every rack with oak and applewood for 6–8 hours. No shortcuts, no boil-then-sauce nonsense. The motto painted above the counter says it all: “We don’t hide our meat under sauce.” Translation: the bark is the star.
I ordered the full rack of St. Louis-cut pork ribs ($34 with two large sides) and added green beans because, well, balance. What arrived was a mahogany cathedral of meat. Twelve bones, each one lacquered in a peppery bark so thick it crunched like caramelized bacon. Tug gently and the meat surrendered—pink smoke ring, molten fat, zero chew. One bite and I forgot words. The mild house sauce (bourbon-kissed, tangy-sweet) sat untouched until the last three ribs, when I finally dipped out of curiosity. Unnecessary. The ribs are that good solo.
Now, the green beans. Don’t roll your eyes—these aren’t the sad cafeteria spears. Fresh-snapped, simmered low and slow with smoked ham hock, onion, and a whisper of garlic, they collapse into silky, porky bliss. Bright, salty, addictive. I ate every last one with a spoon and considered licking the bowl. Pro move: crumble a rib bone in there for extra smoke.
Sides rotate daily, but the cornbread muffin is non-negotiable—golden dome, crackly edges, honey-sweet crumb that steams when you split it. Wash it down with iced tea so strong it could wake a coma patient.
The vibe? Pure Americana cool. A turquoise ’59 Cadillac tailfin slices through one wall, signed jerseys from local heroes hang above booths, and a baby grand in the corner begs “Play Me!” On Saturdays, a kid inevitably tickles out “Heart and Soul” while you gnaw bones. Outdoor picnic tables overlook the sausage shop across the street—grab links to go and thank me later.
Service is small-town gold. Big Daddy himself circled twice, asking “How we doin’, baby?” and refilled tea without being asked. Tab for one full rack, two sides, muffin, and tea: $41 before tip. In 2025, that’s a highway robbery in reverse.
One note: they close at 6 p.m. sharp (7 p.m. Fri/Sat). Arrive by 5 or risk the dreaded “pit’s cold” sign. Call ahead on weekends; the parking lot overflows with Bay Area plates.
Daddy’s isn’t chasing Yelp hype or TikTok fame. It’s chasing the memory of your uncle’s backyard cookout, only executed with pitmaster precision. I left with sauce on my shirt, a Styrofoam box of leftovers, and zero regrets. Next trip I’m tackling the beef dino ribs. Lockeford is now on my permanent BBQ pilgrimage map.
Five smoky stars. Bring wet wipes and an empty stomach.“

“Stopped in town to buy a camping trailer and found this little gem from their reviews. Cute little cottage diner feel right on the corner! We found something from the brunch menu (they don't have a full menu on Sundays). I'm guessing it was the owner who came out and offered to make us something better. The service was impeccable and the food, delicious. Especially they're berry sauce. Will definitely stop again“

“The Asada Street Tacos were decent. The salsa was okay, could’ve been better with more heat or atleast the option for more heat. The jalepeno was nice and spicy, but the radish seemed a little old.
The surprising bit of it all that made the meal was the marinated fried onions. They definitely made the tacos. The service was great and quick. Definitely would go back.“

“This place was phenomenal especially for the price big scoops of protein lots of options. The price had gone up and the scoops have gotten smaller. Rewards are hot and miss I have spent $70 and received one point but they don’t tel you that. Of you have multiple bowls to multiple transactions. Also I did a Instagram promotion and they changed their mind and I lost my reward 🙄. Staff is always late teens young adults mostly nice some are better than others. Still a solid place .“

“Delicious, quality wines, beautiful walking garden to enjoy the tastings in. Quality of wine was standout to other tastings in the area. Loved the petite Syrah and Albariño, bought both. Ainsley helped us, she was a pleasure, truly enjoyed the visit.“
“This is another place you're made to feel like old friends. This is family owned and they welcome you with a genuine warmth. Denise (mom of the family) is your hostess and along with excellent wine usually has a home made treat to offer up. Its a place you immediately become friends with other patrons. I had the Cab...excellent ! And my gentleman had the Zin. P.S...NO small pours here! Check their schedule as they are not open everyday, but usually open at noon over the weekend. Highly Recommended!!“

If it’s your first time, be sure to do a tasting of their red wines or just grab a glass of the superb Old Ghost. Great wine, professional staff, and a convivial environment… I’ll definitely be coming back here.“

“I can't believe it's been 2 years since I started ordering from Frosted Flour! I usually get at least 5 or 6 cakes every year for my kids' birthdays and other special occasions, and they are always a big hit! My sister even loved their cakes so much that she ordered one for her wedding. I truly can't recommend them enough—hands down the best cakes around!“

“Great place. First time there. Wife and I ordered: Bacon Cheese Burger and I ordered The Lockford ( sautéed onions and mushrooms) w/ Swiss cheese. Both meals came with large portions of fries- my wife asked hers to be extra crispy- and they were! Staff friendly and “Johnny on the spot”. Price was good. Stopping there each time we go to Lockford Sausage ( next door) or anytime going through town!!“
