A laid-back spot located in downtown Lodi. During a visit with friends around the holidays, we found ourselves waiting approximately forty minutes for a table. Unfortunately, the wait was somewhat unpleasant due to the presence of piles of dirty dishes with leftover food, positioned near the bathrooms and waiting area. Once seated, however, we were promptly attended to and served efficiently. I particularly enjoy visiting this establishment for their drinks. The Lava Colada, in particular, stands out for its delicious blend of alcohol and the sweetness of the strawberry colada. For an added treat, top it off with whipped cream! The Mexican Skillet was generously sized--I couldn't finish it all in one sitting and ended up taking home leftovers in a styrofoam to-go container. While the salsa seemed to lack freshness and appeared to have been sitting in the fridge for a while, the eggs, biscuit, and avocados were delightful. The biscuit, in particular, was freshly baked and remarkably fluffy--a pleasant surprise. I've given this place three stars mainly due to the extended wait time for seating (which isn't uncommon) and the cleanliness concerns.

The food was so freaking good large portions always. Wait time can be a little busy but worth the wait

Had a sandwich not worth the price $17.95...then chg $3.00 for using a credit card...is outrageous...I don't believe it cost that to run a card...just saying...I will not be back.

The food was good. Customer Service was not that great. We had to ask 3 times for regular cream for our coffee. The food took a while. I didn't notice until I really looked at the receipt that I got charged $3.00 for a non cash adjustment, what the hell is this? I have no problem paying for stuff I ordered if I didn't look at the price such as $4.99 for coffee. It was just my Dad and I having breakfast with an order to go. Is there something I missed with the $3 fee for non-cash adjustment?

I was in town helping a friend move. We finished around 10 and wanted to grab brunch. There were very few options before 11 so we decided to go here.First, the restaurant itself is confusing. It’s like it’s trying to be sort of like a club? The cheap chandeliers were all missing half of their bulbs and definitely didn’t match the sad vinyl booths. The music is pretty obnoxious but at least it wasn’t too loud.The menu is a QR code that takes you to a website that makes you download a PDF to be able to view it well. The menu is long, on one item, I believe the corned beef hash, it says “(not from a can)” what the hell?? Why would this be stated.I found out when our food came. It all tasted like it came straight off a Sysco truck. No seasoning. No flavor. Inedible.Prices are outrageous for how cheap the food clearly is. 5$ for a burnt coffee? Wow. For 4 drinks, 3 entrees, and 4 coffees our bill was about $150. We left hungry. I stopped by Smackpie on my way out of town.Next time, just chill in your car for 20 minutes to wait for anything else to open.

We were sat down for about 10 minutes before requesting coffees around the table (the burnt black coffee was FIVE DOLLARS a cup). We eagerly waited for our server to come take our order. We were offered more coffee (cups were all full) two times in which each time we requested our server to come take our drink and now food orders. We finally gave our orders and although portions were large, the food was lackluster. It wasn't very packed but it was LOUD. I wouldn't return.

Good thing I had ear plugs in my purse (from Best Western) cause this place was too loud for us. They were playing club music, and we could barely hold a conversation. We shared a strawberry lychee mimosa, which gave me a nice buzz - I can't hold my liquor. Portions were huge. We shared a Crab, Prawns, and Avocado Benedict, Smoked Salmon Skillet, Strawberry Waffle, and the Banana Fosters French Toast. My sister also had the Bacon Avocado Omelette, but we barely touched it. The Banana Foster French Toast was our favorite, 10/10. Can't go wrong with vanilla ice cream and grilled bananas! I ended up drinking 90% of our mimosa and dunked the last of our strawberries and waffles in it, making everything jump to 15/10! Our mom thought the smoked salmon was too salty, but it was fine for me. The biscuit that came with the skillet was huge, and we were too full for it. It was almost the size of a softball. Service was friendly and easygoing. Sit outside if loud music bothers you, or bring ear plugs. Enjoy your mimosas!

I have been to the establishment twice in the last few years. The first time a few years back was fine. Food was decent, as was the service, the atmosphere was lively and I had no complaints. My second visit, last weekend was drastically different. We had a party of 8 and arrived in the morning as this is a popular establishment and tends to get very busy. Upon being seated and ordering, the place was not crowded or very busy (only approx 3 other small parties with 2-3 guests were there). My party ordered, I asked for a separate check for myself because in addition to my order, I also needed to place an order to go. I ordered a modified skillet to eat there (removed a few items and added a few items), I ordered an unmodified breakfast dish to go. I literally NEVER received my order. The entire rest of the party was served, drank, ate and I had nothing except the mimosa I ordered. I waited patiently, understanding that sometimes when requesting modifications it can impact how quickly your food is received. However, once my party was halfway through their meals, I started to ask my server questions each time she walked by with no food for me: Was my order put in at the same time as the orders for the rest of my party? Yes, your order is coming now. By chance did the kitchen make my order wrong, the server caught the mistake before bringing it to my table, and they are redoing it? No, your order is coming now. Are you sure the kitchen received my order? Yes, your order is coming now. So, I continued to wait. At the point where the entire party had finished their food and was asking for to go boxes, my order had still not arrived and I continued to be told that my order was coming. At that point I asked to speak to the manager... who came over and assured me that my order was coming. I expressed that I thought it was unacceptable, my entire party was done and ready to go, and I have been told for the last 45 minutes that my "order is coming now". The manager proceeded to tell me they were very busy (they were busy at that point in time , but they were not busy when the orders were placed and when the rest of my party was served), you had a to go order and an order for here (yes, I NEVER received either order, neither my food for dining in NOR the order to go. both orders were input at the same time and it was fine to bring them out together), you had modifications (yes, to the dine in order, remove eggs, tomatoes, and cheese from skillet, add black beans. Does that take over an hour?), Your food is coming right now (I no longer want the food, my entire party is done and ready to leave, at this point you should give the party a discount as well, the experience for everyone was negatively impacted as they felt uncomfortable eating in front of me and also kept asking, where is her food, we were here when the restaurant was not busy, etc). The manager was curt and dismissive, but did give a discount for the rest of the party but only after another member of the party spoke with him privately. The server was the only one who came to apologize as we were getting up to leave and admitted "You are right, you should have gotten your food when everyone else got theirs. I don't know what happened, I'm sorry." I genuinely thanked her for her response (things happen sometimes, I get it). But I also told her that I should have received that type of response from her manager. Though this visit was an incredibly awful experience overall, I may not rule this establishment out for good just yet. With one visit that was fine and one that was god awful, I'm willing to go a third time and let a third visit be the determining factor. BTW, I had a virgin mango strawberry mimosa by substituting Sprite for champagne. It was outstanding!

First time coming here for Easter Sunday and it was packed with people. The manager made the most of a reservation for 15 made in advance for a birthday. Alex was professional and courteous as well as delivering delicious food and drinks. I'll be sure to come back as the ambiance was lively and the music was good.

Food was good! Big portions so come prepared to eat! Our server Karla was amazing! She got everything out quick and checked in on us regularly. There is a wide variety of Mimosas and other cocktails that were pretty good. They even let you mix the flavors! Overall great experience.

The music is just way too loud. Our order was incorrect because the server couldn't hear what we were saying. And we were unable to have family conversations at the table because of the music was too loud. Portions are large and filling. The %16 tip gratuity is confusing to me. I have no problem tipping and I tip generously when I do. But I thought tipping was a choice not mandatory. What if our server had given terrible service that %16 would still apply?

The food was great, drinks were fantastic! My only complaint is the loud music (however it's not as loud as many other places, like Target lol) just an odd thing when you're having breakfast to have dance music blasting. The chili Verde chiliquiles were amazing, very generous with their alcohol pours, and the plates are large. We avoided this place because of a previous mimosa place vibe, but this was totally it's own thing, very VERY nice staff too!

The service was good, when we got to the hostess station it was a little bit of a wait but once the hostess came we were sat at the bar. The bartender was really good about checking in on us and taking our order. The food now personally it was delicious I got the Mexican skillet, it was hot and well seasoned. My husband got the smoked salmon skillet he said it was really good. The biscuits were good but a little dense. The ambience was nice they had music playing and also music videos on the wall. I was jamming and enjoying myself. We will definitely be back!
