17 Best American Restaurants in Merced

“My wife and I decided to dine in for dinner with our 2 children and the host sat us immediately. We did not wait. Our server Taylor, who shares the same name as our daughter was really sweet, patient, and kind. He made sure we were taken care of and we didn’t have to ask for anything. We will definitely be coming back!“

“Everything great except bacon (no flavor), sausage (blah), sweet potatoes instead of regular fried potatoes for breakfast, yuck. Also dressing on the Cobb salad was underwhelming. Other than that, top notch. I ate there several days in a row...fabulous dinners.“

“Great food great service.“

“Enjoyed an early Mother's Day celebration with my son. He had great taste choosing this location“

“Great place for some really personal service. The cream of green chili soup is the absolute best thing served with some homemade bread makes it irresistible!“

“I went to a special event, Rewind Brunch, the Dj (dj tag) was amazing playing all the throwbacks! However, the server helping the waitress, delivered our food and spilled the syrup container ON MY CLOTHES AND THE CHAIR! The whole experience went downhill with POOR customer service from there. The syrup spill was cleaned by us with our napkins from the table, the guy cleaned the floor with those napkins left it a sticky mess, didnt offer to switch the chair that was dripping syrup. I switched it myself with a chair that was left on the side. The guy never returned to completely clean the mess, floor stayed sticky and still had some syrup. Due to space around us this was the only side of the table we could sit at without blocking anyone from passing or feeling too crowded. That server was no where to be found again, didnt replenish our napkins used for the mess so, we had none while eating. With my feet up on the base of the table to avoid future mess on my outfit. The DJs significant other came and noticed the mess and asked what happened, since the guy and waitress were no where to be found she went directly to the manager who said she would talk to us and help fix the situation. Never showed, and now nearly finished with our food, our waitress came to check on us and we let her know what had happened she couldn't believe it and said she would send the manager over because its not acceptable. Even then she STILL didnt show up. I understand they had a full house and things were hectic but customer service and mistakes like this should never happen especially following up with a situation as such. There way of “fixing” the situation without speaking with us was just giving us a free drink. Do better Mainzer Staff. Little did they know I was one of their sponsors for an upcoming brunch event and for being a terrible first time experience I may have to reconsider. I would hate to sponsor a place if someone else received the same service.“

“I had the chicken with shrimp served on some chow menu style noodles. On my second time trying them, I had their chicken and white rice. It was delicious and hearty enough to save for the next days lunch.If you feel like having chow mein, this place is a must have.UPDATE: I had to go and get some more! Love this place.“

“Such a great place! We ordered the rib eye steak and it was cooked perfectly. The whole atmosphere was wonderful. Service was exceptional. Had a great time. We left before the band started unfortunately but I have a feeling it would have been great too. Really need to give this place a visit if you haven't already, you won't be disappointed.“
