The Vegan Roast at Cast Iron was AMAZING! The creativity and execution of every course surpassed my expectations. Every flavor profile, taste note, and sensory experience was thoughtfully considered, and I can't wait to see what plant-based creations are unveiled next because the Vegan Roast, aka "Vegan Night," at Cast Iron will now be monthly! For my full review and breakdown of each dish, head to my blog at Yourneighborhoodvegan.com read more

Super yummy! I decided to try Cast Iron after having it recommended to me by a coworker. It was great! I ordered the Chicken Thang with a side of garlic fries. The sandwich was thick with the juiciest chicken. I loved the garlic fries. They were super garlicky with a crispy cheese on top. The fries are thin and crinkle cut. They were the perfect mix of crispy yet juicy. One thing to note, if you order for pickup, make sure to arrive promptly because the food can get pretty soggy otherwise. The side sauce was pretty good too. I wish there was an online substitution option though because I'd prefer something like ranch instead. This spot's prices are a touch higher compared to restaurants in the area but the quality and portions really justify it. The employees are incredibly kind. When I stopped by to pickup my order, there was an employee cleaning the outside patio who immediately stopped what she was doing to open the door for me, went inside and washed her hands before even handing me the bag. The small details like this really make the experience so much better. It is especially reassuring to see how sanitary they are here too. Despite looking a bit small from the outside, it it quite spacious and modern inside. It has that modern hipster restaurant feel. On a warm day, it would be nice to sit under their covered patio. I will be returning to try more of their menu! read more

So my vegan homegirl invited me to this event. We drove from Elk Grove and we are definitely glad that we did. I am not a vegan. I have not really even eaten much vegan food so I was not sure what to expect but everything that we had was delicious. Nice little restaurant. Great flavors , very friendly staff . Michelada I had was okay. Needed more flavor . Food presented nicely , served as family style and community table seating. read more

The staff and the service was amazing. This modern restaurant has everyone's faves as well as vegetarian options. Everything looks so good. It was hard to decide. I wanted to sample the taquitos and the pulled pork so I ordered the taquitos as a shareable plate and the pulled pork as the light lunch option. This came with one slider instead of two, and it was very filling. The fries were seasoned perfectly and came with the side of ketchup. They have fun drinks so I ordered a coconut water and my friend ordered a kombucha. Parking is a bit of a pain but worth it in the end. read more

Cast Iron is under new ownership and they are better than ever!! Fantastic food, fantastic service and a fun, chill atmosphere. They have a fixed menu with all of the staples and they also offer a seasonal menu that changes every two weeks. Many of their ingredients are locally sourced, which we really appreciate. Cast Iron also has a great beer selection with quite a few N/A beers and a some yummy sodas. Join them on the weekends for live music, good beer and great food! We love Cast Iron and will be back again soon!!. read more

Stopped in for a quick bite and it did not disappoint. Food and drinks were good. The venue itself was cold inside so food got cold fast. Service was fast but we had to eat quickly as it was cold in the restaurant. Beers on tap were good. read more

Good food for the price and a nice selection of drinks. Plus sometimes they have live music. I love the 49er burger when they have it.

This place sucks! They don't have enough workers and they take forever to make your food. If you want to wait an hour for a burger then this is the place for you. Otherwise you better go somewhere else to eat. read more

We used to come here at least once a week because it used to be the best burger place in Stockton with great beer and ever since it changed management the food isn't as great.. almost as if they are switching ingredients for cheaper quality(jelly on the Pb&j burger and pickles) and they also increased the prices but somehow portions got way smaller. Seems like they lost a lot of staff too because my food took 57 minutes to be ready. All these changes have not been great and It's very unfortunate because it was one of our favorite dinner spots. Probably won't be returning. Here are some photos showing how food quality and portions have change read more

Found this place by accident and glad we came in. The food is amazing! You have to order at the counter and they bring it to you. I saw tons of craft beers in cans. Not sure but I think I saw 2 taps. Parking is super limited. Has a bathroom but I didn't use it. I had a special that was posted on the wall. Super delicious read more

Hidden little gem. Welcoming vibe and great food. Lots of beer options. Will definitely go back!

Cast Iron has a really chill ambiance and great service! It's a little gem in downtown Stockton and tbh reminds me of an SF restaurant with how trendy it is. My favorite highlight from the restaurant was the Brussels sprouts tacos! Salty , sweet, and savory! Love that they have vegan and vegetarian options! I ordered a brownie to go and it was okay. I also had a few bites of skillet Mac from a friend and I felt it lacked flavor and was a bit dry. The staff were very friendly and attentive and even helped me decide what dessert I wanted to take home! It was a great evening. I will definitely revisit and try some more items on the menu. read more

I've wanted to try this restaurant for a long time, so I finally splurged and ordered through DoorDash. It took about an hour from order to delivery, and my Dasher messaged me to know they were waiting at the restaurant for the food to be ready. The food arrived cold, which was expected for a Friday night delivery. The Beyond Burger I received was nothing like the images online--a clear bait-and-switch. It was served on two thin, cold, soggy slices of white bread that weren't even sliced in half. When I tried to pick it up, it fell apart. I had to use my fingers to shovel the cold, mushy mess into my mouth, and it was completely unappetizing. The restaurant clearly doesn't prioritize the quality of the food it delivers through DoorDash. I paid $50--still tipping my Dasher--for what was essentially slop. read more

Quite the find!! We were very excited to try out The Cast Iron tonight. First impression - whoa, what a cool place! We quickly learned that we needed to get in line to place our order at the counter then take a seat indoors/outdoors. The staff at the front counter were very friendly and able to answer our questions without hesitation. Additionally, I observed how well the staff worked together which says a lot about morale of the employees (and management). We placed our order and decided to take our cocktails and table-top order placard outside to sit since there was live music outside. No more than 10 minutes later our food was brought out. My one "itch" about our experience is that the food came separately. So while I'm sure my food was hot, I waited until my partners food was served before diving in. By the time his food arrived the outside air had cooled my food. Nonetheless, the food was still very good. I had the regular bacon cheeseburger with fries. The burger was cooked to perfection, melted cheese, touch of dressing and I totally appreciated the arugula on the burger. The seasoned fries were excellent as were the tater tots! There were large amount of tater tots and fries, plenty to share between the two of us, and even then we had leftovers which we gave to someone on the street. The sign reads "best burgers." We've only arrived to town a week ago, however, based on my experience this far, I would agree - best burger in town (so far)! We'll definitely be back! read more

Absolutely delicious food, and I greatly appreciate all of the vegetarian and vegan options. Friendly staff, clean place, not noisy at all on a Thursday evening. Kombucha was "okay" and probably not worth the $8. I heard good things about the beer but we didn't try any. Pro Tip: Be sure to check their "Specials" which are often V/V. read more

Amazing food and stellar service. I would come back here in a heartbeat, not just for the great 2000s punk/rock playlist, but because they make a killer burger and the people are super friendly. Wait times are very quick here, and you order up front. The food is hot and made with care. Portions are also quite large, so you leave feeling full without a huge sticker price. If you're a beer drinker, you'll also love the selection. read more

Food was great, especially the burger and fries! The Fries had a delicious seasoning and the burger was juicy/perfectly cooked. I would also recommend the tots as they have a different seasoning from the fries, but loved the taste. Enjoyed the laid back vibe with good beer options and helpful staff. Definitely will come back! read more

Location not the best, especially for parking unless you work nearby and can walk. We ordered three different burgers, all were ok, expensive, but ok. We were the only ones in the restaurant and the time it took us to get our food was extremely long! They were setting up for a dinner event, however it took 30 minutes to get our food. read more

I was just passing through after my Amtrak train got postponed here. Took an Uber over here and it was a godsend after sitting around a train terminal for a couple of hours. Great service, food was excellent, and the beer was good and cold. Nice little ambience as well. read more

Everything was spot on. Except the french fries have all that seasoning. Crap on it. Unless you order it without it.

Walking distance to down town, great food and drinks! Would definitely go there again!

Food is amazing, choices of beer are great. Service is awesome. Every one is so welcoming and nice. If you are looking for a place to grab a quick bite in downtown Stockton, this is an amazing option! The decor inside goes perfectly aligned to their name and we loved their seasonal items menu on the brown paper roll on the wall. read more

Driving up to Calaveras for the weekend to check out the state park - dinner time fell right around the time we were driving near Cast Iron in Stockton - did a quick Yelp search - we decided to take a break and get a real meal vs. fast food. The beer selection was great - happy to find Pliney the Elder on tap and of course ordered that - tasted great and the food was much more than we expected - the tacos, the burgers, the fries, the TATER TOTS! All delicious. We didn't have high expectation, and we were so very pleasantly surprised. Plus, the employees were very nice and seemed happy enough to be there - we don't often end up in Stockton but hey, if you do, you should seriously consider eating and drinking here! - read more

Hip food drink spot in downtown Stockton. Had the Diablo Shrimp Tacos(2) & the Cast Iron Mac & cheese. Soft tacos with big seasoned shrimp,radish, slaw, jalapeños,very tasty. Not overly spicy could have been hotter 4 me. Almost a fettuccine sauce in the mac cheese, breadcrumbs,light flavor & rich. We took a couple of Shrimp/jalapeños outta the tacos & mixed it with the mac cheese. Margaritas, wine & a good beer selection. Live jazz trio in the courtyard outside was a nice bonus & they were talented. Great staff! read more

Coming back on our second visit and the quality of service remains the same if not greater! This time we brought along the whole family and staff was happy to accommodate our meals to fit out pickiest eaters. The ambiance was enjoyable and having a rotating menu of specials means I got try something totally new and different from last time. This evening I enjoyed half off pizzas for our Littles and $5 pints so I recommend following them on Instagram or their other social media pages to keep up with their special offers and events. Can't wait to bring yhe family back again! read more

Was egregiously overcharged for beer to go. On a recent trip driving from Sacramento to my home in North Carolina and in the Stockton area, I looked up on the Russian River site and found Cast Iron Trading Compny as a location of authorized retailers. What a mistake. I clearly had my mind on my trip and didn't realize the 6 Happy Hops bottles I purchased were sold at 2x the regular retail price. I could have gotten a complete case for the $84 I paid for those 6. I understand a bit of a premium and an extra dollar would have been ok. I wished I'd realized it before I was a half hour down the freeway or I would have not completed the purchase and looked elsewhere. Beware and watch the prices. read more

Cast Iron Trading - Receipt - Beer Bar Near Me - Stockton, California

Pros: Very friendly service Good menu with something for everyone Decent food Casual atmosphere Seems like a local favorite Cons: Downtown Stockton feels very sketchy, so this is a bit of an oasis/anomaly The night we visited they had a horrendously bad music group performing outside, which drove us inside (which was pleasant) We waited forever for our food. Counter service. 30-min wait for food. Didn't seem that busy. Other: This place feels like a great place to stop on a rural day trip. Or a ski town spot. But, in downtown Stockton, it feels like it fell out of the sky. I'd give it 3.5 stars if I could. read more

Don't get me started about their burgers! So freaking fire but when I'm feeling like a skinny girl I get the southwest salad. We need more places like this in the valley. Recognition is needed where it's due. This is a town gem for sure. Btw their alcoholic beverages so good too read more

I arrived at the restaurant at 12:25 and placed my order at about 1230. I watched order after order after order go out to tables before my food even came to me. I waited 30 minutes for my food to finally show up in the window, and when it came to my table, it was cold so cold that the cheese was not melted on my food And half of the items that were advertised to be on the burger we're not included. I specifically went there because they had plant-based options and it seemed as though my order was forgotten because people who arrived after I did got their food promptly while mine was still nowhere to be found. The burger itself was cold and flavorless. It was an afterthought. It simply seemed like they forgot and threw a bunch of ingredients on a plate and for $25 that's ridiculous. Their french fries were over seasoned and over salted so much so that I could barely eat them read more

This restaurant/pub is located in downtown Stockton. The food is made to order, the ingredients used are fresh and taste high quality. You can tell they take pride in every order whipped out. The service staff is very friendly. For first time visitors, order at the register - the specials on the wall change periodically and they also have a paper menu with other options. Order at the register, pay, collect your number and wait for your food to be brought out to your table (for dine-in). Parking is hectic on weekdays but this place is definitely worth it. read more
