    Mushroom onion melt and Cheese Curds! And root beer
    Dela P.

    Yes! This is still my favorite place in Lodi to get a burger. I love the inside of the restaurant and all of the memorabilia. Also, this place definitely has a small town feel that reminds me of my home. The people are always nice, and give great service. There is a young man that works here- I don't know his name but he is always so nice! He is probably high school aged. Anyways - this is a great place to take the kids as well. Always clean and inviting. Plus, I believe the owners are a local family! Support local businesses!!!

    My favorite meal at A&W Diet Root Beer, Fresh Fries and a Double Mushroom Onion Melt Back Again Kim!

    We've been here twice, and both times were a delight. The first time we drove through, there was a funny recording with a French accent, and the second time, it was a pirate. The workers were funny too. Appreciate their spirited good energy. Their onion rings with Papa Sauce are my favorite, so crunchy and satisfying. All of our cheeseburgers were juicy and tasty. A&W rootbeer always hits the spot. We contemplated getting their Cap'N Crunch cereal shake but decided not to give into the temptation. They gave us a bunch of coupons for next time. Smart way to get us to return cause we can get a $1 off that shake.

    Bottles and mugs from the past.

    It's all about the root beer and the ice cold mugs. Ordered the fish sandwich and onion rings. The sandwich stayed hot for the longest time and the onion rings are rings. French fries were excellent too and my friend enjoyed the burger. It was also great seeing the items in their mini museum since this restaurant has been here forever. And have I mentioned the root beer? Next time I need to order a jug of it and bring it back for refills. I hope it stays here for many more years to come.

    Best onion rings I've had lately. The bacon was not the best tasting. Very fast service from Door Dash.

    First time coming here and my kid definitely approves of this place! Food was pretty good, everything was fresh, staff was friendly and respectful with a happy attitude and my rootbeer was the best rootbeer i ever had. Solid 10/10 for my experience

    Cool antiques

    On a Saturday morning in Late March at 10:30am we finally arrived here for early lunch. There was only one person before us. The ambiance was nice like I was in the 60's. It has 2 glass shelves of nostalgia a&w merchandise and everywhere. The staff person was nice and took our orders. I ordered double cheeseburger combo with fries and large glass mug of A&W root beer. The root bear taste so fresh in a frosted cup compared from a can. The burger taste good with crispy fries. I got full and couldn't finished my mother's onion rings. Nice place to check out if you are in Lodi or on the way to Sacramento.

    Was pleased to find this gem after some 40 years of not visiting an A&W restaurant. The root beer float in a frosted mug was out of this world and the Papa Burger was excellent. I hope A&W are able to open a restaurant in the central coast region someday so I can visit them more often.

    Great food. And great service. They have great people working here everyone is always kind and in a good mood. My favorite thing to get here is the root beer float.

    On the way home from a king overdue vacation my wife and I stopped at A&W. As long time Root beer fanatics we were excited to stop by one our way home. The place has awesome cool eclectic decorations everywhere. You can buy huge bottles of Root Beer. So understand that when you order a root beer float it's gonna be an experience. I went with the double bacon burger and regular fries. My wife went with the chili cheese dog and chili cheese fries. Everything we got was perfect and the topper was that huge root beer float in a chilled mug. This place is a must try.

    Value papa burger

    The value meal was cold the bread was hard , the fries were ok , the quality has gone way down

I should have listened to my inner glizzy and did just that... but we didnt. Instead, we ordered, much to the dismay of the staff, 2 chili cheese dogs. I did order a Shake 2 hours before closing, but they cut off the ice cream machine early, as he said it doesn't make sense to run the machine until closing time. Okaaaay. We'll, when I left a tip, the cashier kinda brightened up a bit and said thank you. At this point, without knowing any history of this place, I am thinking it's the owners kids forced to work today. Enough with the ambiance. Let's get to the food. The polish dog was, ok. The chili was gritty from Im guessing sitting there for a while, and the cheese was gloopy. Sorry Dad!!!!

Melissa, the owner, could not have been more welcoming. She shared that she and her husband are UOP grads themselves, which made the visit feel even more special given why we were in town. The food was outstanding. The pork schnitzel sandwich was cooked perfectly: crispy, well-seasoned, and clearly made with care. The deviled eggs were some of the best we've had in a long time, creamy with just the right kick. It's clear this is a place run with real pride, and it means a lot to support a local, family-run spot like this in Lodi, especially one with such genuine UOP roots. If you're ever dropping off (or picking up) a Tiger, make time to stop in. We'll definitely be back on our next visit to campus.

Now was a good as time as any! As we entered, there was a sign to meet at the bar for seating. The waitress/server came out after a bit of a wait and according to my friend, it's usually a longer wait time around lunch for someone to come out and seat you. I was recommended to try the pork schnitzel by my friend and it did not disappoint. I got my sandwich with a side salad. We also ordered the deviled eggs to share. My friend has never had the deviled eggs before and pleasantly surprised and delighted that the eggs were absolutely delicious. They're very smooth, eggs were cooked perfectly and the touch of bacon was just right. It does come with a small helping of mixed greens topped with pickled onions. The pork schnitzel was crispy & crunchy due to the breaded pork loin, came with pickled onions, slaw and the chipotle aioli sauce. The sauce does have a bit of a kick to it but it wasn't too spicy, well, at least for me. My salad was very good too. It was colorful and had an interestingly tangy dressing on it. It paired well with the sandwich. One was spicy and the salad was tangy but refreshing. My friend also ordered the pork schnitzel with beef tallow fries. I tried some of her fries and they were thin but still crispy. Overall the food at West Oak Nosh was so good and delicious! Service was good, prompt and our server was attentive despite being by herself. I think this place is great for the summer to have a drink and eat. Will have to come back for the drinks!

This means I'll need to find a place to eat dinner by myself and Burnies hit my radar. Walking in around 7pm on a Wednesday, the place was empty then while I was scanning the menu on the wall the counter person comes out from the back to greet me and explain the menu. I decide on a double smash burger ($12.99) and half size of Burnies Fries ($9.99) with a "can" of coke. There's no fountain service for their drinks here; it's not a deal breaker but would have been nice to easily grab a refill while eating this much food dining in! The person did also tell me their Burnie sauce is like "Cane" Sauce which I do like. As I waited for my food, several more customers flowed in & out which made me happy. After receiving my food, the first bite of the burger was juicy but their sauce was overly sweet and having the sauce on the fries too made my 1st experience disappointing. I had to eat around the fries that had sauce on it and I could not remove the sauce from the bun since it was soft and soaked the sauce in already. *So for first timers, I would suggest getting the Burnie sauce on the side to determine if the sauce is to your liking. There are unique flavored shakes (with cereal) available but hopefully that's enough for me to return and give them a try

    Now THIS was a burger!…read more I love a good burger, and for me, it's all about balance. I don't mind a big, messy burger. In fact, I like when the mayo, ketchup, and sauces start mixing together and dripping a little. That's part of the experience! But what I cannot stand is a burger so overloaded with sauce that you can't even taste the meat. This burger got it right. I ordered the one with the cheese skirt, and that alone was worth the trip. They pile cheese around the burger on the grill, cover it, and let that cheese melt and grill into this crispy skirt around the burger. The cheese wasn't just cheesy either. It had a slight salty, seasoned flavor that made it pop. The crispy edges were basically an extra reward for clogging your arteries. And then there were the fries! They weren't advertised as seasoned fries, but there was definitely something going on besides potatoes and salt. Maybe it was the oil. Maybe they season them before frying. I don't know. What I do know is dem' joints was GOOD! The atmosphere added to the experience. It had the feel of a family-owned spot. I came in shortly after 1:00, so I may have missed the lunch rush. The young man who took my order was courteous, and everyone seemed comfortable and friendly. It even looked like some friends had stopped by to bring the owner a special dessert. It felt less like a corporate restaurant and more like a neighborhood spot where people actually know each other. Great burger. Great fries. Friendly people. Good atmosphere. I'm actually headed to an event in Stockton, and I'm already planning to stop back by for another burger on my way home. That probably tells you everything you need to know.

    Wow! My last review of Flip's was over ten years ago, and while my last visit wasn't quite as long…read moreago, it's still the same Flip's we loved with some little updates. It's still the same building at the corner of Waterloo and N. Filbert st. and they have their own parking, which makes it easy to stop in. The chalkboard menu has been replaced with a digital menu, but all the old favorites are still available. Really, not much else has changed. They offer all day breakfast sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs, additional sandwiches and some delicious fried options including multiple options of fries. They're also known for their milkshakes. The team here greeted us right away and gave us time to look over the menu and snap some photos before we placed our order. On this visit we ordered a small Rocky Road milkshake ($7.75) and a small is still a generous sized milkshake. I split it with my friend and it was plenty for both of us. One thing that makes their shakes special is that they blend them into a thick shake, but add an extra scoop of ice cream on top. This way it's nice and cold and you can scoop it or let it melt as you drink from the bottom of the shake and the thick consistency lasts longer. Stopping in reminded me why we love this spot and that I need to visit more often- especially for a full meal so I can enjoy their burgers again.
