Manny’s California Fresh Cafe

Anything less than 5 stars & you’ve lost your mind. Likely the best spot in town. Owned & operated by 3 generations of an amazing family for Manny Manny years & i’ve yet to have a negative experience in 45 of them.

This location has changed owners and you can tell. They kept the most of same menu items but it seems like they got rid of some. My partner has the 3 PC chicken and it was kind of soggy by the time we got home with it but my chicken sandwich was top tier as always. The look inside has changed and it doesn't look bad but you can tell. I say if it wasn't broke don't fix it.

Food was not appealing, we ordered old-timer, Manny burger both were small patties. Not filling. Fish and chips it was tasteless and soggy. Hot dog which was extremely salty after one bite couldn't finish it. Fries were nice and crispy but also salty couldn't fully enjoy. Also ordered Chicken sandwich which was dry. No sauce in the sandwich not even mayo. Just dry. Our medium drinks were actually small drink cups sold as medium cost. We spent $120 for a family of 5.
The place definitely needs cleaning, The vents were covered in dust. Floor needed to be swept. I never leave bad reviews but this one is definitely needed. I hope when the owner sees this you appreciate the honesty. This isn't to bash your business it's to hopefully grow and live up to the original Manny's otherwise maybe consider changing the name.

Best fried chicken and burgers in Stockton. Can be very dirty and crowded. Waiting time is anywhere from 15 minutes to never getting your food because you left because you ordered your food an hour ago even if its over the phone. Happened to me plenty of times.

Food is good but customer service is REALLY bad, Girl (THE GIRL WITH THE BABY HAIRS) working the counter has the worst service. No thank you or anything, just call your number and puts your food on the counter and walks away

Worst customer service in the world. Spent 40 dollars on burgers and fries. They forget to charge me for manny’s sauce. I offered to pay for sauce. Manager said I need to pay $5 for many sauce if I use a debit card. Those are the rules and that’s just the way it is. Manager was hella unprofessional. I will never come here again

clean up the roaches and stop being so Evel to homeless people trying to buy food they have to eat too

Place was gross!!!! The restaurant was ran by little girls it smelled like piss & the price was crazy for a little bit of food it looked like they just threw my food together fast the food tasted gross as well!!! . -0/10 definitely not what is used to be when I was young!!

Original owner was mostly grumpy but everything was always on point. Not so much anymore. Prices went up and quality went down. Used to be a place I would recommend to anyone with confidence. Now I only go a couple of times a year hoping they got their grove back. So far they have not. The food is good but inconsistent and doesn't seem worth the price. I got an old fashion this last time and the patty was very thin and was left with nearly half of the bun with no meat. Light on the toppings which was a slice of tomato, some lettuce and a very thin pickle.Taste was good, portion was not worth the price. $15 for Burger and drink. They unfortunately aren't what they used to be.

Eh. I know so many people like this place, but I am not a huge fan. I feel they are expensive for what you get

I ordered the Breast of Chicken sandwich and it was amazing! The inside of restaurant looks unlike any other place I’ve been too. Nobody has ever really recommended me this place so It might just be a hidden gem. Pretty pricey but DEFINITELY WORTH IT. If you want a chicken sandwich, that’s probably the best in town. This would be it.

Food wise this place is top-notch. The problem is they’re not consistently open and that really annoys me. With food that good y’all need to get stuff that don’t break on you so you can stay open.

Manny’s California Fresh Café in Stockton is a culinary gem! Their Californian cuisine is delicious, and the cozy atmosphere adds to the dining experience. The staff is friendly, making it a must-visit spot in Stockton for a great meal!
