Barbecue • $$
“All I can say is that I hate myself for not trying them sooner. Had brisket and pulled pork. The brisket is perfectly smoked. It needs nothing and falls apart perfectly. The pork is full of juices and very tender. It works well with both the sweet and the tangy sauces. The mac and cheese has a little something that sets it apart from others. There is a slight smokiness in it that leads me to believe their cheese is smoked on site. Even if it isn't, this is an amazing side. The Genova bread works well to cut the savory overload in your mouth. I grabbed some desert but I am too stuffed to try that just yet. The fact that this place doesn't have a line starting at sunrise tells me that more people haven't gotten to try them yet. As soon as word gets out, this place will be selling out by noon. Real TX BBQ!”

Korean • $$
“First off, I just want to say all the servers and staff are so sweet and polite! They are so extremely helpful and give you step by step on how to order and cook your meal for your first time. I had an amazing first experience with kbbq!
For the food, all the meat was extremely delicious and such high quality. The meat is marinated well in sauces giving it so much flavor. It is absolutely worth coming here to try and experiencing it for yourself. The side dishes are also great to start out for your appetizers before the food comes.
Thank you shunting and Kimi for the amazing service, they are amazing!!! 🤍 10/10 place.”

Bakery • $
“Awesome and nice people! The prices are great for the huge, fresh portions. Got the beef hei-hei wuth sauce on the side and my partner got the smokey. The donuts are really ducking good. Tried the glazed and chocolate ube. It's so worth the stop. Everything is beyond perfect, albeit not the healthiest.”
Hamburger • $
“It depends on which Nation's you go to. San Leandro is great, Stockton is good. So far the new location in Lodi isn't living up to expectations. The food is good; the problem is getting the food you actually ordered. Half of the burgers we got today were made wrong even though the orders were taken correctly. So far Lodi has done a good job with the pie we have come to expect from Nation's.”

“We’re visiting from Florida and had such a wonderful experience at Tacos Trinidad! Since we weren’t familiar with some of the dishes, the staff was incredibly patient and took the time to explain everything to us. The food was authentic and absolutely delicious—everything we tried was fantastic! The wonderful service made the experience even better. We will definitely recommend Tacos Trinidad and would absolutely come back the next time we’re in California!”
Mexican • $
“I’m a connoisseur of food. I eat all types of ethnic food. I’m not Hispanic. Somebody gave one star to this establishment and I do not agree. I have gone to this place at least once a week for the past seven years and what they serve is always consistently good. My favorites are dos tacos with lime Pico de Gallo and just assada with hot sauce Pico de Gallo, lime and more hot sauce burrito. Yummy ?!”
Mexican • $
“I’ve been here several times, usually with friends who eat here often or go for takeout. When someone says, “let’s go to the restaurant,” they know exactly what that means. La Fiesta Mexicana is well known in the surrounding neighborhoods, but perhaps a little under the radar in the balance of Stockton. Very diverse menu of delicious home-style Mexican food. Good selection of “mariscos y pescados”, seafood and fish. Fantastic home-made salsas! Last time I had a standard combination plate with succulent chili rellenos, and took home a tasty supreme shrimp burrito, all reasonably priced. Good food! I recommend this place!”

Barbeque • $$
“I love that almost all the great local wines are available in the bar. The ribs and pesto are my favorite, and have had that more than 100 times. I like the bar and old side. I absolutely hate the new open table area in the the back and refuse to sit there. They need to give that a little more character. It is too open and noisy with poor quality tables and chairs. They could make some large booths and maybe even a curtain around the booths to quiet it down.”

“I absolutely love dutch bros and have been a faithful customer for 3 years now , I love the coffee and the quality of service but what I don't like is seeing all these young people dying in the sun in 100 degree weather, even with the ice packs they wear and the rotation it's still cruel to me to see this every summer , this is a multi million dollar company so why can you not set up tents with water misters so they can atleast be in the shade ! I know as a customer seeing a company care about it's associates means alot and I feel like Dutch Bros can do so much better !”

“This is my favorite place to eat. I can't imagine eating at a McDonald's every again in life. I was met by two of the most polite young ladies. My bestie knew what was coming but said nothing. Our orders were taken and then, I hit them with "Can I take your picture for a review?" My bestie shook her head and smiled. She let them know that I do this all the time. Ariana and Evalina gave consent. What absolute darlings! I believe Ariana is new to the In N Out family. She was confident, didn't rush, eye contact was perfect and there was no stumbling over words. The place was packed as usual. These two young ladies are shaker and movers. They were moving the line effortlessly. It was one of those happy, loud, "Let's eat something good days" and everyone knew where to go. Thank you Ariana and Evalina”

“Every time I go to mi ranchito I sit on Angie’s side and she gives me my food nice and fresh. It doesn’t sit up there like the rest of the food because she has amazing experience with treating customers. And always has my drinks on point without having to ask for a refill. And if it takes a long time for my food she compliments free chips and salsa. 5 stars all the way around”

“Hands down the best Mexican food to exist in Stockton, California! We visited recently and everything we ordered was incredibly high quality and delicious.
I got the birria tacos and a super burrito with carne asada, and both were packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. My wife tried the hot Cheeto burrito and absolutely loved it. To top it all off, their horchata is delicious as well, refreshing, and the perfect balance of sweet.
If you are looking for an amazing meal from a local food truck, Birrialandia is the place to go. Five stars all the way!”

“The place is clean! That's a miracle for jibs lol. The other day I had what was possibly the perfect jumbo Jack. My only problem is the crazies and hoodrats that also enjoy the location. The corporation should consider taking out the self serve soda fountain at least in the hood locations. I've personally witnessed people brazenly come in and fill up without paying at three different Stockton locations this past week alone! Unfair to all the honest customers......”

“I went to Jack in the Box on 11/5 at Dinner Time. There were 4 cars 🚗 in the Drive Way, so I decided to go inside instead to avoid a Long Wait. I used to work in this Industry and I Still Remember that the Best Immediate Service is the Customer in person face to face. I and Another Customer waited 21 minutes! That's way to Long! I left very upset. My Order was their $7 dollar special that I Like! I asked for a courtesy fry. I was handed a kid size fry. After I left and was at home, I then Realized I was not given my two drinks for My $7.00 Special. I went back and I complained. The cashier at the time of my service was running around as she did earlier filling the orders. There were Only 3 employees. One was Make, chilling in as a cook and the other female was changing Advertising Signs. I explained to them that because my order was 21 minutes late, I was not given my drinks and received a child fry, I had no other choice but to Write a Review. The front cashier said, I forgot to give them to you, but they were both ready.
More employees should have been working during dinner time and no one should be Chill while one employee is running around and the other is changing Advertising Signs standing over food that is still cooking and is packaged.”

“I am extremely disappointed with my recent Taco Bell order.
The fries I received were clearly old, and the portions were extremely small. I ordered multiple fries, but they were not fresh or properly portioned.
The Mexican pizzas and nachos were even worse. The nachos were black, smelled bad, and tasted so bad that they were not safe or enjoyable to eat. When I went back to the restaurant to address the issue, I was told that the nachos used for the Mexican Pizza are different from the Nacho BellGrande. I have been eating Taco Bell for approximately 15 years, and I know what the food is supposed to taste and look like. Regardless of which nachos are used, food that is black, has a bad smell, and tastes spoiled should not be served to a customer.
I also tried calling the restaurant before going back in person, but they did not answer my phone calls. I had to physically return to the restaurant to get this issue addressed.
Unfortunately, even after explaining the situation, the manager/employee only replaced ONE order of fries instead of all four and only refunded ONE Mexican Pizza. That does not resolve the problem because multiple items were unacceptable.”

“Used the kiosk to order, so only picked up food from staff, no real interaction, but she was nice. I ordered the decades box & swapped for cinnamon twists which were hard (stale) they gave me a better one. Other than that we got our own drinks & cleaned our table so no real interaction.”

I generally don’t write reviews unless the service was really good or it was really horrible. This is the former. Also had one of their breakfast Bagels And it was so damn good.

“How hard is it to make decent food and decent drinks in your own niche market? Well these guys make it look effortless. The staff is very friendly and efficient. The owner knows what being in the service industry means and treats everyone with respect. We’ve been here a few times. They have a small menu of their signature dishes and they do not miss. We’ve tried their burgers, chicken sandwich, tacos and most of their appetizers and they are above great! Drinks are well crafted. The inside looks small but they do have additional seating in the back and outside. Staff is attentive to all areas. Restaurant owners in this town should come and observe how it’s done. Patrons, don’t overlook this hidden gem, they don’t disappoint! Thank you for giving us a nice local place to spend our time (and money) ;)”

“👍My wife and I booked Valley Brew's banquet room and catering service for her parents' 40th anniversary celebration with the intention making it a surprise for Abuela. Kellie, Eli, Malou, and the whole team were incredible to work with throughout the entire process from initial planning to final cleanup. They were flexible, accommodating, and reliable. The food was delicious, the bar service was great, every detail was tended to, and we couldn't be happier with how such a meaningful event will be remembered.”

“Jared Williams. DOES NOT RECOMMEND THIS TRUCK!!!! Take out | Dinner | $10–20 I order from this truck at least 3-4 times every week. But today I had the absolute worst experience I had ever had with this truck. I ordered the same thing I usually always order there. The young woman...who I rarely ever see there took my order, she even repeated it back to me...I paid what I always pay for it. Then the cook calls out a totally different order...I corrected them and said that's not what I ordered. She gave me hecka attitude when I said that. I told her that this was what I usually always order...she gave me "I don't know what you usually order," And they both reacted badly towards me. At this point I was pretty heated at the attitude I received from them, I was extremely P.O'd and walked away leaving them with the money I had already paid. I snapped a few pictures of their truck to post all over social media. I happen to work right where they always park so I'll make sure to tell everyone I see that goes there what my experience was there. I guess they got their last tip ever from me since I left without getting my money. Now I absolutely don't trust eating from there...I'm not going to eat whatever tainted food they would give me in the future. Don't EVER go to this truck. They lost a really good customer. This one is parked on Frontier Way in Stockton right off of Arch Road. UPDATE TO THIS REVIEW I went back and told them that I was going to post this all over the Internet and on social media. The girl who gave me attitude said in response.... We don't care!!! That says it all right there. NEVER GO TO THIS TRUCK!!! I WILL NEVER GO BACK!!! THEY MIGHT DELETE THIS REVIEW ON THEIR PAGE BUT THEY CAN'T DELETE THIS IN OTHER PLACES.”

But let me tell you we finally got to experience a little bit of Paul Ratto‘s magic in the kitchen and it was well worth the wait. This guy is so extremely talented and prepared us a phenomenal dinner, and it happened on my birthday. I would recommend heritage dining for any of your catering needs, and hope to see them open for more occasions.”

I could actually taste the flavor of the meat inside instead of the usual deep-fried crunchy bits that tastes like everything else it was fried with. Customer orders around the dining room looked appetizing as well. Plenty of TV screens for sports fans as well.”

Prices seemed fair for the quality, and everything arrived pretty quickly. I'd definitely come back when I'm in the area again.”

Parking was easier than expected, which several guests appreciated. Everything ran smoothly from setup to the end of the evening. A few small details could've been communicated a little better beforehand, but nothing that affected the event itself. Overall, it was a nice place to gather and create some great memories. I'd definitely consider booking here again.”

“My favorite seafood and football game spot in Stockton. I'm glad they in business. Food, clean nice spot and Hella cool service. If there's any bad comments about them it's cause whoever made them comments is soft. They don't don't know good restraints. Parking is on the street or nearby parking garage. I love it here.”

“I've been going here for over 25 years, it's about a 40 minute drive and never disappoints! Sometimes it feels a little pricey, but then I eat my leftovers and remember I got two meals and a show! I will continue going and hopefully have at least another 25 years in me!”

“I finally checked out Grand Buffet at their March Lane location over the weekend. I used to visit them on Pacific Avenue before the pandemic, so I was thrilled to see them back open. Arriving right when they opened paid off—the staff was attentive, and everything was fresh and delicious. I easily put away five plates. The only letdown was the dessert station: the egg custard tarts and chocolate chip cookies were noticeably overbaked. Aside from that, it was a fantastic experience, and I’ll definitely be back.”

“In town for work, was lucky to find this place right off the bat! Welcoming, caring, and Sunshine staff that compliments their service. I had a an injury from work impacting my mobility so I was more than happy to plop down at the boat carousel bar with a great variety of sushi and appetizers constantly being refreshed. The rest of the buffet was just as great! Every town has their Gem and I believe this is it.”

“My friend recommended this place to me a while back, and I decided to go with my wife. The food was good. We were served by a young man wearing a dark blue jacket with a gray shirt. He's got a good sense of humor and helped us out whenever we asked, even when it was busy. There are two other ladies. One doesn't speak English, which is fine. But the other lady does. The one who does understand English was really rude to my wife when my wife asked for the receipt. She yelled at her employees in front of customers and complained loudly when her employees made mistakes. Very unprofessional. The service is acceptable only due to the young man. Props to him. 2/14/26”

“Shawn white for lunch almost everyday. The service is great very friendly good service its our go too lunch break. We were very unpleased to see what I assumed to be a inspector of some sort cross contaminating the food while wearing gloves she held a tablet in her hands and was picking threw all the food as she was holding the tablet and touching the screen at the same time. She was also seen picking up other items around her adjusting her bangs and touching the food without changing her gloves or washing her hands before continuing to touch the food the whole lobby was thinking how disgusting as she was very unprofessional and judgemental to the staff who are great at changing gloves and taking food safety precautions when she came in with very high expectations considering it was their busiest time of the day and we thought she was rude when she herself was the only one we saw not following precautions !!! Other than that we love Travis's subway and think this issue should be addressed if we hadn't already got our lunch we would have turned around and walked out !!!”

“I’ve been here several times, usually with friends who eat here often or go for takeout. When someone says, “let’s go to the restaurant,” they know exactly what that means. La Fiesta Mexicana is well known in the surrounding neighborhoods, but perhaps a little under the radar in the balance of Stockton. Very diverse menu of delicious home-style Mexican food. Good selection of “mariscos y pescados”, seafood and fish. Fantastic home-made salsas! Last time I had a standard combination plate with succulent chili rellenos, and took home a tasty supreme shrimp burrito, all reasonably priced. Good food! I recommend this place!”

“The food was ok. Wish the prices were cheaper but it's fine. The lady didn't give me my change but I guess it was fine because it wasn't like a lot of change back so yeah. Overall food and service were good. I also got a baklava. It was small for the price but there was extra it just wasn't plain. There was chocolate drizzle and something else not sure, but I kinda wish they were at least slightly bigger for their price. Or lower the price. I am also glad that she subbed the bread with rice.”

Barbecue • $$
“All I can say is that I hate myself for not trying them sooner. Had brisket and pulled pork. The brisket is perfectly smoked. It needs nothing and falls apart perfectly. The pork is full of juices and very tender. It works well with both the sweet and the tangy sauces. The mac and cheese has a little something that sets it apart from others. There is a slight smokiness in it that leads me to believe their cheese is smoked on site. Even if it isn't, this is an amazing side. The Genova bread works well to cut the savory overload in your mouth. I grabbed some desert but I am too stuffed to try that just yet. The fact that this place doesn't have a line starting at sunrise tells me that more people haven't gotten to try them yet. As soon as word gets out, this place will be selling out by noon. Real TX BBQ!”

Barbecue
“I ordered takeout, so I did not rate service and atmosphere. I gave five stars because the tri-tip, beans and spicy bbq sauce were very very good. Your mac and cheese needs work. Tastes like Velveeta and macaroni thrown together hastily in a pot. Try some sharp cheddar, Gruyère or Fontina.”
