    Today was my first time trying lunch at Center Street Grill in Turlock. It was a mixed bag for me. First, I was one of the first to arrive in the dining room for lunch, where it was nice and quiet (which I needed as I had a meeting with an officer from a local non-profit to discuss some fundraising things). Shortly after, a group of about 8 ladies arrived and began talking a bit loudly while enjoying their lunch. It occurred to me that the design of the place enhances the sound (a lot of hard, flat surfaces) so for a quiet lunch, this may not be your place. After my associate arrived, we asked to move over by the wall behind the cash register. This worked fine until one of the employees propped open a door a few feet away, supposedly so another worker could carry in some supplies. I got up and closed it. The first one came back, looked at me and propped it open again, the other employee walked in with four gallons of liquid, leaving the door open, and the draft blowing. I got up and closed it again. For the rest of the time we were there, neither worker came back to pass through would have been an open door. My message, the management doesn't care about their customers (which seems to have been commented on by other reviewers). Fortunately, throughout the meal, our server was attentive, did a fine job of seeing to our needs, the food (we both had salads) were plentiful and tasty. We both remarked on the quality of the chicken, not dry, not tough, spot on. Overall, I probably won't return soon because there are so many other places left to try in the city and county first.

    Steak Sandwich $25 with onion rings $2
    Stan M.

    I was referred here by a friend who raved about their steak sandwiches, so I decided to give it a shot while I was in the area. I placed my order over the phone for pickup, and the staff was friendly and efficient. I arrived about 8 minutes before the pickup time, but my order was ready just moments after I got there--great timing! I expected the steak sandwich to include lettuce, tomatoes, and either raw or grilled onions, but it turned out to be just ribeye and bread dipped in au jus. While the sandwich tasted good, adding those fresh toppings would have elevated it. For $25, I was hoping for a bit more substance. I opted for onion rings as my side, which had a $2 upcharge I wasn't aware of, but they were crunchy, well-seasoned, and enjoyable. Overall, a decent experience, though I'd love to see some optional toppings or extras to make the steak sandwich even better.

    Service was nice with free refills. Bar seemed full with laughs, and the prime rib was excellent.

    I haven't been to Center Street since the old owner had it. After about nine years decided to go back after my daughter raved about it. The service is excellent. I noticed that all the servers chipped in to help each other. Julez waited on us and is fantastic. Great personality and very helpful. She is the owner's daughter and has worked there since she was a teenager. Paul, the bar manager, is a good dude. We know him from bowling, and he was all over the place helping out. We have a Turlock High Bulldog card which offered us a free appetizer. We got the grilled artichoke and enjoyed us. Helped out the Turlock H.S football team and rewarded with this $14 appetizer. Heck of a deal. My wife loves prime rib and said that hers was excellent. The cut looked great. I had a bite and will get that next time! I had the pork chop which was tender and tasty. Julez recommended and I'm glad she did. The steak fries were superb. You can tell that the restaurant has regulars that frequent it. To me that's a sign of a good and consistent restaurant. My wife and I will definitely be back.

    Surf and turf ribeye with Bleu cheese, calamari steak, loaded baked potato
    Frances V.

    I've found myself going to center street more and more. Their food is good and the prices aren't too bad. I've gone twice within the last 4 weeks for large parties. The first party, I ordered the ribeye with loaded baked potato and vegetables. My plate came out with a ny strip, instead of ribeye. I told our waiter immediately and he changed it for me. We shared calamari, artichoke and loaded potato wedges around the table. The next party I ordered the surf and turf. Ribeye topped with Bleu cheese, calamari steak, loaded baked potato and a cup of chicken enchilada soup. Everything was delicious. While I had no issues with my order, the waitress forgot several items my friend had ordered, since she was going to just eat apps. She only received 1 of 3 appetizers. Once I came with my family and my daughter knocked her drink over. We were given a few paper napkins to try to clean it, instead of a towel and employees walked around the mess on the floor and left soda and ice on the ground. So, while the food is good...I would like to see some more attention to detail from staff, so that orders are more consistent.

    Top: Surf and Turf Bottom: Angus house burger

    We had a show to go to in Turlock and pre-planned eating at Center Street Grill. It was our first time there. By the prices and information that I viewed online, I thought it was going to be fancier inside. It was clean inside, very, very busy; I had to navigate through three staff to get to my reserved table. Arrived at 5:45, food came by around 6:30. We had to wait awhile for the request of butter for the bread. The food was good; I got the Angus Burger and my beau got the Surf and Turf. We also got the potato skins for an appetizer. Overall, I would eat there again. I felt like the prices were a little high, but the food was good. Parking was a challenge. All of the spots nearby were full.

    Food was delicious. Clam chowder is thick and creamy. Love the calamari steak. Great service!

    Honestly just tasted bad, low quality food, slow service :( also overpriced. Ambience was good though!

    Came to Jams @ 209 as a simple low-key birthday dinner for the SO. Our meal was good, but something…read moreregarding the bill irked me and left a bad taste in my mouth. Located off Geer and Tuolomne, Jams @ 209 is a cute little sports bar that also serves an extensive menu including wings, burgers, pizza, and tacos. Every wall (and even right outside the establishment) is lined with TVs all playing different sports and music videos with a huge focus on 80's music (perfect for the Gen X-ers who seem to frequent here). Upon entering, we seated ourselves at a corner booth and a few minutes later did a nice lady provide us with menus. The SO had ran to the restroom and the nice lady asked me at the table if we wanted to order drinks. She upsold a rum and coke (the SO's favorite) not because she had asked the SO on his way to the restroom like I had thought, but because they have a happy hour special on them and a few other drinks. What a coincidence! The special was $5 for certain drinks between 2-7PM. The nice lady also tried upselling me to get a drink for myself. I feel like after saying no the first time, she shouldn't have pushed with an "are you sure?" two times after. We ended up ordering: Onion rings - great fry and crisp batter. One of the reasons I chose to come here. Mac and Smash burger with side salad - uses Kraft mac-n-cheese type noodles that were a little bland. But with everything put together (pepper jack, fried onion strings, and chipotle sauce), the burger was delicious. SO was impressed with the side salad lol It wasn't a basic garden-type, but more spinach, cucumber, cheese, croutons, etc. PB&J Protein Power burger with sidewinder fries - double patty made this reaaaal meaty. There was a subtle pb&j flavor which was nice, but wish it had more. Sidewinder fries were like the jojo's version of curly fries - thick and potato-y. All portions were big and I thought proportional to the price (esp in this economy). What soured our meal was when we received the bill. There were two line items for +$0.75 for cheddar cheese. I spoke with our nice lady server and she said that it was because we got cheese on our burgers... *question marks??* 1. The item description for both our burgers already include cheese 2. We didn't ask to sub any type of, or add more cheese 3. If we were going to be charged for cheese, we weren't prompted about it beforehand. We didn't get the charges taken off until after these 3 statements were made. I get it, $1.50 isn't much but it's the principle of sneaking in $1-2 for something we didn't ask for. It makes me think they do this often at the expense of patrons under the influence. Just a warning for future customers, double check your bill!!

    Was early for an appointment located in this building, and I was in dire need of some post workout…read morefood, so I decided to stop in here for a quick bite to eat. My waiter, Zeke, was very helpful and funny, and I was able to place my order right away. I decided upon the slider cheeseburgers, and they were very tasty! I loved that they toasted the buns and grilled the onions. The fries were DELICIOUS!! The next time I'm here for an appointment, I'm definitely going to eat here again.

    The reviews about the loud music is true and it's not changing any time soon…read more I visited for dinner ~6:30pm. Immediately when walking in I noticed the music was overwhelmingly loud. It felt more like a club scene rather than a nice dinner spot. I asked if the waitress could lower the music and she said they weren't allowed to touch it. Upon seeing the reviews of this place, I see why. The business owner claims that they're trying to curate a "lively atmosphere" and it's "not for everyone". That's wack. If half of your reviews are telling you the music is too loud, lower it. I could barely hear my partner speak and had to read lips just to try to have a conversation. Plus some of the waitstaff were changing songs midway through or skipping songs. It was distracting. On top of that, the main dishes do not come with a side. Every single side option is an up charge. I knew when ordering the salmon, that it wouldn't come with a side. But everyone should note that you're spending $25 on an 8oz salmon and two slices of lemon with not a single side. No rice, no nothing. To be honest, you can go to Texas Roadhouse and get the same exact thing for the same exact price and get two sides for free. Plus you're not hounded by extremely loud music. Last thing to note, our waitress was also working the bar. There was a couple at one other table and someone at the bar. Other than that, the restaurant was completely empty. We barely saw our waitress and had to wait for quite a while when we wanted to order another drink. We spent a lot of extra time than we wanted to waiting around. My positive about this restaurant is that the decor is nice and that they let you modify the dish a bit. We ordered the pasta trio and they let us get two of one type of pasta. The pesto was really good. The deals on Thursday for drinks is good. The bread and butter was really good but an extra $5. Overall? Business owner: please take note of what customers are saying and compromise. If a customer asks for the server to lower the music, staff should be allowed to, even if just a little bit. What sort of "lively atmosphere" are you trying to create on a Thursday night at 7pm with a restaurant 90% empty? Maybe change the vibe of the music based on the time of day. Your decorations say "nice dinner" your music says "sports bar". There is an in between and I know it can be found. I hope everyone can learn something from this review.

We started with the Argentine empanadas served with bone marrow and chimichurri--two good-sized empanadas for $24. Great flavor and a solid way to kick things off. For my entrée, I ordered the hanger steak cooked medium--it came out perfect. It was served with Roth Fries, which might honestly be the best garlic fries I've had in a long time. Fresh garlic, Parmesan, parsley... just done right. The steak was topped with chimichurri and came with two dipping sauces--everything worked. My wife ordered the Kung Pao Street Noodles with grilled prawns ($36), and she loved it. Overall, great atmosphere, friendly staff, and a standout experience. Our waitress, Janet, was amazing--super attentive and helpful. Whenever I asked about dishes I saw coming out, she was more than happy to explain them. We'll definitely be back.
