    Game day
    Jonnita W.

    We came here to watch a football game with less of the crowd atmosphere. We were seated pretty fast between the bar and the restroom at a high table. We orders our drinks and picked from the 2/$22 meal deals. Of the sliders n fries. Prior to getting our food , we kept getting this really foul pungent Oder that would go through the area we were sitting in, every couple of minutes. Wasn't sure if the piping in the building or what. With the attempts of putting that aside, we had our meal , drinks and viewing of the game. Our service by our waitress was good! And also saw the manager on duty come out in the floor and speak to each guest. Which made the last minute visit more pleasant.

    Excellent service at the bar from Natalia. Very personable and friendly. The burger in cheese sauce needs help, more sauce. However was tasty. Great vibes here

    Blackened Shrimp Alfredo to go

    I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich with waffle fries to go. The fries were good, but if they can mess up fries, they really have problems. The sandwich however was absolutely disgusting. It was definitely microwaved and not freshly grilled because it had all the tell tale signs. It was soggy and lukewarm. Even the bun was soaked through to mush. This isn't my first grilled chicken sandwich, there's no reason for it to turn out that way unless it was microwaved from frozen and pre cooked. I also didn't get the cheese that I paid extra for. And the chicken itself tasted like soap! I don't know how restaurants get away with this sort of thing and manage to stay in business. With so many one star reviews here, corporate either needs to invest in making this place better, or shut it down.

    Sweet & Spicy Chicken Sandwich with Waffle Fries

    Admittedly we've not been here in a while. This is our second time in the last month. We had great service both times. Our first visit I asked for a special order of Grilled Salmon and Broccoli and Green Beans. Prepared exactly how I wanted, and tasty! Hubby got the roll up and I got a bite, yummy. Today I was craving the 12oz Rib Eye. Perfectly prepared with Mashed Potatoes and Broccoli. And hubby got the Sweet and Spicy Chicken Sandwich with pickles added. And waffle fries. He loved it. It was really quiet right before 730pm I see a mixture of reviews. We wouldn't hesitate it coming back.

    I was excited to try the new really big meal deals at Applebee's and it turned out to be a huge disappointment. I placed an order for pick up and when a Tuesday night for pick up. I ordered the Big Cluckin Crispy Crispy Chicken Sandwich Meal. When I arrived at the restaurant at my pick up time my order wasn't ready. The staff was busy chatting with each other. I had to wait an additional 10 minutes for my pick up order. I when I got home and opened my order the the Big Cluckin Crispy Chicken Sandwich I was given looked nothing like they advertised. I was given a sandwich with a piece of the chicken breast missing. It looks like someone took a bite out of it. The chicken breast was small compared to the picture that they advertise and it didn't even look crispy at all. I was disgusted by it that I had to toss it away. I won't be coming back to this Applebee's again.

    4 Four-Cheese Mac & Cheese with Honey Pepper Chicken Tenders ???????? Where is the cheese??????????
    Dela P.

    So, this place has always had memories for my kids and I - but now it's horrible. They have changed the menu so drastically- and evidently the recipe too!! This is 4 cheese macaroni and cheese with honey chicken strips.. but there seems to be no cheese, let alone four cheeses!!! I was so disappointed- we came here after a very long week of working. I guess it's not the same anymore. I will definitely have to find a new place to go. Smh. Terrible and they raised the price with smaller portions.

    Service wasn't bad, But the food was terrible.... From the presentation to the taste! Horrible

    Cold gelatinous order
    Kathy S.

    Not a good visit. After the long wait, which we found out was due to lack of kitchen staff, we were finally seated. My husband and son ordered the wings. You only get one choice in flavors and the regular flavor was cold both times. Our son ordered the garlic parmesean and they were warm. My order was ordered without meat. Notice the bacon on my plate. I get really sick if there's meat or something cooked with meat. Bacon is one of the worst. Since we never got utensils, it was a moot point. I never leave bad reviews, but we're not the only ones who had a horrible experience. We should've paid more attention to the guys who said they were sick when they left. Hindsight.

Within a minute, he came back and explained that she was busy and offered to take our order himself, which I appreciated. Our food came out in a timely manner and everything tasted good. Unfortunately, the service after that was disappointing. We never received a soda refill until we flagged down a waitress who asked if we wanted one. After saying yes, it took another 7-10 minutes before we got our drinks. During that time, she walked past our table several times and seemed to forget about the refill. The restaurant wasn't busy, and there appeared to be plenty of employees working. However, it didn't seem like anyone was helping each other out. Several employees walked by our table while cleaning nearby tables but never checked to see if we needed anything. Overall, the food was good, but the lack of attention to customers made the experience less enjoyable. Maybe next time I'll go to Wingstop, where at least I can refill my own soda.

My fiancé and I come here at least once a month, usually 2 or 3 times, and Scotty the bartender is the freaking best! He knows our drink order so we don't even have to say anything- poof! Like magic, the beverages just appear. The food comes out quick and is always good (spicy garlic and chipotle dry rub are our faves). We always sit at the bar but went a couple weeks ago and it was full so we took a table instead. I wish I remembered our servers name because she was great too! We eat out A LOT, and b dubs here in Lodi is top 2. Scotty solidified that for us but the wings are really good also. Oh, special shout out to their "alcohol of the month." I really don't know if that's what they call it but every month/holiday they feature a new boozy bev. Right now they have Jameson or green tea shots for $4!!!!! Where can you get good food and cheap alcohol paired with great service all under one roof?! I wasn't expecting to love b dubs this much but here we are. If you go, look for Scotty and tip him hella well because he deserves it!

One tip: make a reservation in advance. We were able to skip the long line, which made getting in quick and easy. My party of four was seated on the patio, but honestly, there's really no bad seat in the house. Tom's has TVs everywhere, so you'll have a great view of the game no matter where you're sitting. For food, we ordered the spinach and artichoke dip, fries, fried pickles, and I grabbed a beer. Everything was tasty, but the standouts were definitely the fries and fried pickles. The fries came out piping hot, crispy, and fresh, making them surprisingly one of my favorite items of the meal. I will say the prices are on the higher side, but for a big sporting event, I think it's well worth it. The atmosphere was amazing, the crowd made the experience even more fun, and the service was exceptional. Even though the restaurant was absolutely packed, our food came out quickly, and our server checked on us frequently throughout the game. Overall, I'd highly recommend Tom's for your next watch party. Between the atmosphere, plenty of TVs, solid food, and attentive service, it's a great place to catch a big game.

    I rarely leave negative reviews, but our experience at Tom's Bar was extremely disappointing…read more We made reservations well in advance, paid ahead of time, and even arrived more than an hour early. We were third in line for the reservation queue, so we expected that arriving early would help us get decent seating. Instead, we were assigned seats on the open patio directly in the blazing sun. The patio umbrellas weren't working, making the seating area unbearably hot on a warm afternoon. We politely asked if we could be moved to another table, but the staff was unwilling to accommodate us. When general admission opened, we even offered to give up our reserved seats and move into the general admission section instead. Despite there being an opportunity to make that happen, our request was again denied. After only 15-20 minutes, we had no choice but to leave because the conditions were simply unbearable. Paying in advance, arriving early, and still receiving the worst seats--with no willingness to help find a reasonable solution--made for a very frustrating experience. Customer service is about solving problems when they arise. Unfortunately, that didn't happen here, and it left us with a very poor impression of Tom's Bar. We missed a good part of the World Cup Finals which was the main purpose of going there. Costed us in fee and parking and lots of unnecessary anxiety!

The waitress quickly came to clean off the table we chose. They were fairly busy and it was very hot in there. They had fans going but I'm thinking they might be having issues with their a/c. It was at least 100° outside so maybe their a/c unit couldn't keep up. We ordered an appetizer and then my husband ordered the prime rib sandwich and I ordered a salad and added chicken. Everything was delicious but prices are on the slightly pricey side. For example, my salad with the chicken was $35. It wasn't a large salad either, like some places have. At least I was full. I know it's a steakhouse but it's not giving "upscale steakhouse". The waitress had a "shadow". They were both very friendly and attentive. We will definitely come back but maybe on a cooler day.

She was babbling something about her not making the drink, I never said she did. Only that the drink was awful. Of course the service was sub bar after that. We opted for a couple steaks, mine was small and medium well-not at all what I asked for. Needless to say, who I was with received a nice cut and great tasting steak. I would have sent mine back if I could have found the waitress. In all it was sadly a very poor experience.

We were there for about four hours.... everybody left except me and my friend both of us females. As the night went on however, the locals came in. We had some big broad, flipping us off across the way while we were just sitting at the bar, and it got way worse. The two gentlemen sitting next to us were there from work and it was their first time as well. They were pipe fitters and they were staying at adjacent hotel, they were going to give us a ride home. For no reason at all about 10 Cowboys hats came our direction and threatened all four of us. We were backed up against the wall as they all stood up and walked over our direction.

My friend asked some guy are you just gonna let these guys jump us? The bartender said she was shutting it down told us that we needed to go around and get out of here from the back.. we called 911,four times!!! and no one showed up. We feared for our lives, fortunately one of the locals told us to sit by him and not move and assisted in getting a stranger to drive us all the way back to our hotel. We were so worried about the other two men who did absolutely nothing and were getting punked by the local hillbillies. We have no idea whatever happened to the two guys. We ended up going to their hotel and explaining in case they didn't show up from work the next day. I highly recommend that no one attends this bar unless you live in that neighborhood and know everybody; it's clear Lodi people should be NOT be recommending it. It's a safety concern at this point. And this probably won't be the last time.

    Wow. SQZ Burger has been open for nearly three years in Lodi and I never noticed it. I know I've…read moredriven past it many times, but I guess their signage is too modest compared to the huge "IDOL BEER WORKS" on the other end of the building. I figured it was just another iteration of the original (now long gone) Squeeze Inn in Sacramento, and I was right. I don't think the various locations are franchises, but are more likely independently owned, and the quality varies from location to location. The one that used to be in West Sac, for instance, was terrible, which might explain why it's been gone for years. And the mid-town was also a resounding MEH, and also gone. There's nothing at any version of Squeeze Inn/Burger that I want more than just a basic Squeeze (or in this case, SQZ) with Cheese, though. I don't want a taco, nor a BLT, and especially not chicken strips. I want that which made the brand famous. A cheeseburger with all the traditional toppings and a cheese skirt just dripping cheese grease off it. SQZ Burger delivers the goods. The cheese skirt was just the right size, not too big, not too small. At one point in my life I would have said that there's no such thing as a cheese skirt that's too big, but a couple of years ago I had a cheese skirt that was so big that I felt sick afterward from all the cheese grease! In addition to the just right amount of cheese, the burger had lettuce, tomato, pickles, red onion, and a healthy schmear of mayo and mustard. Damn near a perfect burger. The owner was running the register on my visit, and when she brought my food out, she asked if I wanted a side of ranch. I'm the kind of guy who would drink ranch dressing if I could, so of course I accepted. I didn't even ask - It was nice of her to offer! There's a throughline from the original Squeeze Inn on Power Inn Road to SQZ Burger, too. The father of the husband half of the H/W ownership team owned the original location. Brandon and Katie ran the Galt location for several years, and have now brought the goodness to a Lodi brick and mortar spot. I'll definitely be back.
