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

“Went to Ernie's on 8/27/25 to celebrate my birthday with my husband and mom. Yarixa M was our waitperson. The restaurant was beautiful inside, they had some nice jazz type music playing, we were sat in the corner booth and from the moment we walked in the hostess wished me a Happy Birthday, everyone that attended to use was friendly, professional and attentive. Yarixa was amazing. She gave great recommendations and checked on us frequently to make sure we had everything we needed. We really enjoyed my birthday celebration dinner at Ernie's and are excited to have found a nice place to go for dinners. Thank you Ernie's staff for a great evening!“

“The food is awesome. Waitresses really take care of you. There’s a couple of waitresses that are my favorite. They go beyond to make sure that you’re taken care of. Very impressive. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Boy we love this place. Nestled within the woods of Great Wolf Lodge you can’t beat this spot. It is perfect after a long day of fun with the kids in the waterslides. Lucky for us we have the luxury of leaving the littles with our teens so we get a couple hours of adult time! And hey, after the day of water slides and pool fun, they’re all knocking out anyway.

So, now for my recommendations. You absolutely HAVE to try the firecracker shrimp as an appetizer. Perfect crunch and the sauce is out of this world. My wife went for the steak frites which were great and I opted for the spicy chicken sandwich; super flavorful and the fries were great too.

Woody made us some awesome drinks too. I’ve never had a pineapple margarita with vodka and Jameson and a splash of blue caracauo but it was delish! Next up he did a coconut margarita with vodka and it was even better. His energy and enthusiasm was awesome and we really enjoyed our time! Thanks woody and team!“

“Thank you Angelique! Beyond the five star rating. She tended to every difficult request that I asked. Extra-well done, no lettuce, corn on the cob instead of fries. To-go cup for my soda refill. Thank you for your fast accurate service. I wish that you were our server every time that we visit Chili's Manteca Good customer service is very hard to find. Keep up the good work, keep smiling. Please give this gal some recognition and kudo's.“

“Amazing 10/10 experience. Awesome vintage decor, a lot of different choices on the menu, very friendly staff, and the food was delicious! This restaurant definitely created a long lasting Father’s Day memory for my family and I. Definitely coming here again.“

“Good food and a decent amount for each serving.“
