    Five egg all meat omelet with gravy added to potatoes
    Rob M.

    Wife and I were looking for a place to grab breakfast on our way back home from Sacramento. Searched Yelp, and this place popped up with great ratings. It was packed when we pulled up at 10:00 on a Sunday. We were seated after a short wait. They have both indoor and outdoor seating options. The combination of service and food we received has this place ranking as one of the best places I've ever been. A tremendous menu with huge portions. I got a five egg all meat omelet (with added gravy on the potatoes) and the wife got a hotcake with scrambled eggs and sausage patty. There were at least 10 people working that never let anyone's drink get even close to empty. Even though the place was packed, our plates came out quickly and were steaming hot. If you are anywhere in the area, I can't stress enough that this is a place you need to visit. For me, this is in my top 10 all-time favorite breakfast restaurants.

    We had the most delicious huevos rancheros. One with carnitas and the other with just eggs like it comes. The service was great. The bathroom was clean. We would definitely return.

    My party of 5 came on a Friday around 10:30 am and waited approximately 25 mins before being seated. We ordered our food but it took awhile (~45 mins) to come out, but appreciated that all the food came out at the same time. Food was solid, portions are very generous. Friendly staff who were attentive and always refilling our coffees.

    Visited this place while staying in Lodi and looking at Yelp for a good place for breakfast. It's a nice little gem of a place where many of the locals gather to enjoy a good meal and talk. The service was amazing, friendly and just what you would expect from a nice hometown place where the locals meet. Warm and welcoming and great hospitality! The ambiance was your local diner style place serving good food. As for the food it was good. The ham and eggs were perfectly cooked and just right. The pancakes were good. I was torn between the French toast and pancakes but when I visit gain will probably go with the French toast. The pancakes were a bit thin for my liking but had good flavor just me being picky as I like pancakes a little more fluffy. Will certainly be back and try something different but a really good place to visit

    Ginger was nice and welcoming from the start with a nice smile...They have Milkshakes so I was set to stay and have a seat:) and yes the extra in the shaker was treated as well. Will definitely come back. Place is clean and cook is in the zone on the grill taking pride in his cooking. Thanks Ginger will let others know also.

    A few months ago I was driving through Lodi with a few others. They were hollering that they were hungry and wanted to stop for breakfast. But they insisted on no chain restaurants or fast food. So we googled and found Avenue Grill. So glad we dined here. The food was traditional classic American fare served up by the nicest staff (which was ethnically diverse). The vibe is welcoming. I noticed that the staff knew a lot of the regular folks (also ethnically diverse) by name. They serve up breakfast and lunch. They are known for their signature giant flapjack. $5.99. But none of us ordered. Next time for sure. Anyways, I got with eggs and bacon breakfast. Simple and prepared right. Luved it. Prices weren't bad. The menu options were plentiful. The place is on the smallish side. They have tables and a counter. When the dining room is full, it's cozy cramped. The noise level can get loud.

    The blueberry pancake is a favorite and I love their coffee. The wait staff are very friendly, I never feel rushed and the environment is diner cute. They have an outside patio that has plenty of gas lamps if you get cold. Their on letters are also amazing. Great place to catch an early breakfast, hangout with friends or have some quiet early morning time.

    Are you a diner soul? If you can rattle off the difference between a cafe, diner, and coffee shop, you might be. Avenue Grill is a bonafide diner, and if that's your jam, and you're traveling 99 or located in NorCal, get here! My dad and I eat there at least be a month and travel from Sac and Elk Grove. Expect normal favorites for the genre, as well as a few unexpected specialties unique to Avenue Grill. The decor inside is as if Cheers was actually a roadside diner. Yeah, you're definitely having breakfast in 1986. It's fantastic! The patio out back is very pleasant in spring and fall, and if it's not bitterly cold, the giant heaters keep you nice and warm. Summertime it's getting kinda warm by lunch. The vibe outside is remarkably different than inside; it's Sierra Nevada mom and pop roadside logging country restaurant. It's nice because the service is just as good as inside, and if chatting is a priority, the patio is much quieter than inside. The service is great either way, and they'll happily customize your food, and it comes *the way you ordered it. All the servers are strong, but Stacie is a blast--she's a joke teller, and they're great jokes! No prudes tho, some of these jokes are whispered! This time I tried the Veggie Potato Platter, in lieu of my go-to omelette because seeing those giant plate of cheesy perfect crusted fried potatoes and melty cheese has been giving me a world class case of FOMO. It was great, but not gonna lie, I wasn't hungry again until dinner. It's a lot, but I just couldn't quit eating it, so good. I've also had the Linguica and eggs, and I thought the linguica was quite good. My dad got his favorite, Huevos Rancheros, and had very nice things to say about the dish. It's a Wednesday(?) special, I believe. Lunch foods are also above par imho. You pay and tip right there at the table with the waitress waiting, so don't forget to tip. You'll want to anyway. Great spot, really. If you're hungry for diner food, and want to feel like a regular, even on your first visit, this is the place!

    Lunch this time around - said to sit wherever we like. It's crowded inside with the tables really packed in. Some sat outside. Have to fight the flies to get to tables but seating outside feels less squished in. Took our order right away. Fish and chips and lil burger (1/4 lb burger) on sourdough with bacon and cheese. Chili cheese fries. Everything was so good! Burger cooked to perfection and it was really good on sourdough bacon crispy NOT burnt! Chili cheese were steaming! Chili tasted homemade not canned and not sweet. It was very good.

    Day 2 first stop

    Day 2 Stop 1 "Where do all the locals go?" Preface- We are weekend tripping in Lodi and where to dine was always a question. We found this place and what a great choice it was. They were 90% occupied and fortunately, there was a table for us. Knowing our day is filled with winetasting, we agreed to get a hearty breakfast to start. Naturally and in addition to our coffee and breakfast, we order their Mimosa by the bottle with orange juice... Just to set the mood... Country style biscuits and gravy, basic bacon and eggs and a burger dawned our table. I had to try their hotcakes. Not that I'm an hotcake aficionado but their hotcakes were GOOD. Great way to start the day!

    A very nice place to enjoy a meal, especially with the outside patio area available. The food came out quickly and was delicious. All of the staff is super friendly and attentive, and our server was a delight. Definitely will be coming back!

    The "small" omelet (how big is the regular size?! lol) and house potatoes (order extra crispy, your welcome)
    Jillian B.

    Avenue grill is a great little diner in Lodi for breakfast. The chicken fried steak is amazing and the omelets are really good! It can get crowded quick especially on the weekends so you might have to wait for a table but they also have an outdoor dog friendly patio!

The food itself was very flavorful, so taste was not the issue. Unfortunately, the temperature was. The steak was barely warm, and both sides were completely cold. My dining companion and I were starving and on a limited schedule, so we did not want to spend additional time trying to flag someone down and waiting for the food to be reheated. Instead, we waited--and waited--for our server to return so we could ask for boxes. We ultimately took the food home to reheat and eat later, which is obviously not the experience you expect when dining at a restaurant. That brings me to the service, which has also declined over my last several visits. Our server never checked in after the food was delivered. Had she stopped by shortly after we began eating, we could have addressed the temperature issue and possibly had enough time to enjoy the meal properly. Instead, she was nowhere to be found until the end. I am not sure whether the food is sitting too long before being picked up or if the kitchen is not monitoring temperatures properly, but something needs to be corrected. Servers should also check on their tables at least once during the meal--not only return at the end when it is time to bring the check and collect a tip. I truly hope management takes this feedback seriously because I know this restaurant is capable of providing a much better experience.

It's contemporary and the furnishings are quite comfortable. It's the type of place you can settle in and have a casual meal without feeling rushed. Prices are high yet the quality is excellent. For the first evening at the bar we settled into a high top table. You can sit at the bar, lounge type seating or outdoors on a pleasantly shaded patio. They had an expanded bar bites menu as the main restaurant is closed on Wednesdays... most of it quite enticing. We opted for cocktails to start and I chose a specialty Date Maple Old Fashioned. It was really good with a large ice ball to chill it. For bar bites we shared the pork belly sandwiches (small, delicious but messy to eat), the sausage skewers (amazing!) and crab cups (refreshingly light and easy to eat). After cocktails we had glasses of a light white wine, made with Santorini Greek grapes. For the next meal in the dining room the place was a buzz with activity but conversation was easy without a lot of excessive noise. It's intimate and the room is quite pleasant for a gourmet meal. We started with cocktails (same Old Fashioned) and shared the grilled Brussels Sprouts which were plentiful and ever so delicious. They were slightly over grilled for my taste yet it didn't distract from me enjoying them. We got bread which was a baguette with butter and the consistency perfect for a French style loaf. For my entree I debated between the scallops and the pork chop and went with the chop. I was quite pleased as the chop came in thick slices and drizzled with a tarragon mustard reduction sauce. It was amazing, tender, juicy and at 22oz I couldn't finish it all. It came with a tasty apple sauce and grilled seared cabbage. Absolutely delicious. Ed, celebrating a birthday, had steak which came with a huge bowl of mashed potatoes which I tasted. Oh my gosh, the creamiest potatoes ever! For dessert we shared the cheese plate, a really great way to end the meal, with glasses of a twany port. All of the cheeses from a brie to a hard cheese were top quality.

The mashed potatoes or excuse me "potato fucken purée" was average at best. Wife found her Salmon to be mid. For dessert we took the chocolate cake thing, and the strawberry cheesecake to go. The chocolate cake was like a 7/10 and the cheesecake was just like three separate piles of fuckery. Like the ingredients were just piled in the box waiting for assembly. It was the weirdest shit I've ever seen in my life. I should've taken a picture of it. Oh yeah the asshole piña colada wasn't blended it was just on the rocks with a nice paper fucken straw to slowly add some smoked wood flavor to my adult beverage. For $200 (plus tip mind you) this meal should've knocked my fucken socks off. Good lord this place needs some SERIOUS help. I can tell that the cooks know what they're doing but fuck man season the damn food. So in closing 1)season the food 2)ditch the paper straws 3)and blend the fucken drinks Oh I forgot to mention "ambiance". Think of a double wide from the 1970s with the floor vent collecting food crumbs under me then blowing air up my skirt. It was a nice touch.

    I visited Nash + Tender Lodi in Lodi, CA [123 W Elm St] on Tuesday, 06/23/26, around 12:45 PM…read more For lunch, I proceeded to order the #1 Combo, which came with 2 Hot Chicken Sliders, Mac N Cheese ($2 upgrade), a side of special sauce, and a Strawberry Kiwi Lemonade. The Hot Chicken Sliders were flavorful and paired so well with the special sauce. The Mac N Cheese was decent. The Strawberry Lemonade was absolutely refreshing. The inside of the restaurant was clean. There were a good number of tables and chairs available for customers, indoors and outdoors. Nash + Tender Lodi makes solid chicken slider sandwiches. I recommend stopping by.

    I stopped into Nash & Tender for lunch after reading some positive reviews. Well the reviewers…read moreweren't wrong, because the food and service were great. I ordered a #3 combo and a side of ranch for $17.50 before tip and tax. It came with a large slider, another chicken breast on toast, a large serving of crinckle cut fries, and a drink. It was a lot of food and I had leftovers, so I was happy with the size of the portions. The slider had a big, thick, piece of fried chicken breast on it. It was a little spicey, topped with pickles, sauce, cole slaw and served on a nice brioche bun. It was one of the better chicken sandwiches I've had in a while and very satisfying. The chicken breast on toast, was silimar and just as satisfying. The fries were hot, chispy, and lightly seasoned. I enjoyed every one as I dunked them in sauce and munched them down. The staff was nice, and prepared my food quickly. The dining room was basic, but functional, and the drinks were self-serve. I'm happy to give them 5 stars. The food was really good.

    I cannot stop talking about my dinner at The Exchange. The food, atmosphere, décor, and overall…read morevibe were exceptional. It was our first time visiting from the Bay Area, and it was truly a memorable experience. We ordered the chicken wings and calamari, plus two drinks. Our bartender recommended the Freak Show Cabernet, and it was delicious. I appreciated how attentive the team was: when I accidentally knocked over my drink, the staff quickly and graciously helped clean up, along with a few flowers I bumped in the process. I apologize for the clumsiness on my part. The chef also came out to greet us, which was a wonderful personal touch. Overall, we had an incredible time. If you're looking for great food and warm hospitality, I highly recommend The Exchange. I'll definitely be telling everyone on social media to stop by for a wonderful experience.

    We had Easter brunch at The Exchange 1874 in Woodbridge and came away with a very positive overall…read moreexperience. The restaurant is set in a historic brick building with a lot of character. We sat inside, where the space features exposed brick, artwork throughout, and very comfortable seating... my partner specifically pointed that out. The layout includes a mix of seating areas, which gives it a more relaxed, layered feel. The bar area, known as the Ghost Lounge, adds a darker, more lounge-like element to the overall atmosphere. Service was excellent. Our server, Lacy, was friendly, attentive, and witty - easily one of the best servers we've had in a while. For drinks, I had a local Oak Farm red wine that was excellent. Others in our group had mimosas, which were well received... especially the grapefruit mimosa, which my partner really enjoyed. For food, there were several highlights. My partner had the chicken and waffles and loved it; I tried some and would agree it was very good. Another person in our group ordered the steak breakfast tacos, which came as a set of three. They only ate two, and I had the third and it was delicious and something I would recommend. Another in our group had the eggs Benedict and thought it was excellent. I had the biscuits and gravy with fried eggs. It was okay, but not something I would go out of my way to order again. In terms of value, prices felt consistent with the quality of the food, service, and overall setting. It's not a budget brunch spot, but it feels appropriate for the experience. Overall, it was a really enjoyable Easter brunch with great service, a comfortable and well-designed interior, and several strong menu items. I'd rate it a 4 out of 5, though if half-points were an option, this would land closer to a 4.5. We'd definitely come back.
