    Chicken Strips Meal
    Tanya S.

    I have been coming to this place for over 40 years. I do love the "secret sauce" and the crinkle cut fries. When I call they leave you on hold For a really long time to place a pick up order. I always get the chicken strips basket and this last visit I noticed the chicken strips have changed. They are very bready with hardly any chicken. I did not like them. Reminded me fair food. They used to have the best chicken strips around. Not anymore. I still enjoy the milkshakes and fries so I'll leave it a 3 star. Still easy to order at the window and the people are nice but the chicken strip basket is a loss.

    Onion Rings Bacon Cheeseburger

    Place is great, food was surprisingly really good. i would recommend the onion ring cheeseburger

    So much for a double patty bacon cheeseburger with an extra patty (3 in all)  2/3 of the patties were missing

    (Want my money back) Missing 2 out of 3 parties for my burger...everything else was okay, but I paid for a delivery order and got THIS? (Quality) The burger had two waterlogged buns. Fried tacos from Jack in the Box is probably more bang for your buck since each taco was oil-logged. Fries were alright. (Overall) Please do better next time.

    This place has an old drive in vibe. Service is fast, friendly, and they wear their masks. They enforce wearing masks to order. I got a Texas BBQ Bacon Burger and a steak sandwich. The Texas BBQ Bacon Burger was pretty good but there wasn't any BBQ sauce (which I was fine with honestly), and the fries were great. The steak sandwich was really dry and not great for the price, kinda resembled a torta, but a taco truck does it better. They gave us extra napkins and ketchup with a lot of fries. I was looking this place up on Yelp before visiting, and it's a lot better than most of the reviews have to say. But also be aware that after COVID the prices on the pictures of the menu are no longer the same. The prices have been raised, which is understandable but the menu & prices need to be updated.

    I order only onions and ketchup love that they use red onions....most places dont and that's what makes a burger even better... thanks

    I'm not sure of why all the negative reviews BUT...... Was kinda sketchy after reading the reviews but glad I gave it a try. I order a cheeseburger basket I'm very basic and my hubby got inferno wings and fries we both "killed" our food wings were "meaty" my burger was simple yet extremely good ...I finished my burger in 5 bites lol. Patty taste good unlike reviews of other ppl says. I am very full and happy thanks ... and customer service was nice he even recommended us to try inferno wings ... hubby happy. Now back to hayward we go.. thanks for a nice sunday evening quick bite. We will be back , Soon. Thank u

The freshness of their house made pesto pasta is top notch it just melts in your mouth with each bite. Ribs had a very nice smoky taste not too sweet, not too salty just right on seasoning and the bark was fabulous these ribs were cooked perfect, nice & tender but the meat didn't rip off the bone in one piece as if they'd been overcooked so great job on the ribs guys. Full size meals here guys so you know. Laura and I split a rib meal so we each got 4 ribs apiece, pesto pasta for both of us on our own plates since they even let you split meals for $5 extra. We'll worth plate split, each of us had ribs, pasta, bread and side. She got salad I got fresh minestrone soup too. Desert had their special spumoni ice cream to split among us. Highly recommend this place fantastic food great service and fun time capsule decor. Cheers!

    Welcome to Garlic Brothers - my favorite garlic restaurant in Stockton. I would say my favorite…read moreItalian restaurant - but at Garlic Bro's, it really is all about the garlic. And I love it! Garlic Bro's is a not so hidden local favorite that has become much more popular through the years. It sits right on the Delta for a perfect water-front view for outside dining and those lucky enough to get the huge bay window seating on the inside. I can order a full meal just on the appetizers alone. Ive tried them all. The fried raviolis and the grilled duck wraps (in bacon) are among my favorites. Garlic Bro's has a unique selection of oven baked pizza's but when I come to Garlic Bro's, it's all about the entree's for me. My all-time favorite is the grilled garlic steak. It is the best rib eye steak in Stockton. I order mine blackened (crispy outside) with the brown mushroom gravy that comes in a side dish. For sides, I order the garlic mashed potatoes. They taste creamy good by itself but remember the mushroom brown gravy I ordered for the steak? It's really for my garlic mashed potato's. A perfect combo. Consider this a Pro Tip. My other side is the green death pasta. You have to request it (another Pro Tip). I've tried pesto pasta everywhere and it's only this delicious at Garlic Bro's. The honorable mention is the grilled pork steak. The best pork steak in Stockton. The grilled lamb chops are good - just not as great as the other two entrees....but I'm a very tough critic when it comes to lamb chops. One thing to know at Garlic Bro's is they don't water down the mixed drinks. You definitely get what you pay for. And the price tag is actually pretty reasonable. Garlic Bro's can get very busy so come early for good seats and parking - because they don't take reservations.
