    Hamburger and fries
    Diana G.

    Garlic brothers is located on the waterfront, with spectacular views. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. The menu has many different offerings, something for everyone. Our server was very pleasant; however, she was not very good. She neglected to bring ordered items to the table, and we had to remind her several times. Even after that, one appetizer arrived that was different than what was ordered. Overall, the food was excellent though.

    No need for food. Come for the drinks ! The girls at the bar are literally the best. We asked for random drinks and they full filled our requests. Great bar. Cute twinkly lights. Come hang out. It's a blast.

    Fish and Garlic Fries
    Janelle F.

    Service was not great, long wait for a waiter to come to our table and take our drink order. I was a little disappointed that we couldn't order a sandwich after a certain time. I tried the Hawaiian pizza and it was so bland, there was so much flour on the bottom of the pizza. My husband ordered fish and chips (garlic fries) and it wasn't anything special. Ambiance was nice, you can see the water from our seat. Overall, i would have to say if you're coming for the specials or happy hour this place might be an option. I don't think I would personally return.

    Spaghetti, Wednesday special. $8
    Danielle M.

    A nice place for dinner and a view. The Wednesday special is especially enticing, $4 spaghetti, $2 meatballs, $2 house wine. The restaurant was busy but not overly loud, so you can have a nice conversation with friends. The quality and portions of the food were good and the atmosphere made dinner enjoyable.

    Garlic Brothers is always a solid go-to spot in Stockton, especially if you're craving good food with a view. Everything we had was good overall, and the vibe by the water just makes the whole experience even better. Staying down the street doesn't make it better, I used to come once a week! I ordered the steak, which had great flavor, but it came out a little more cooked than I would've liked but still enjoyable. One thing I always come back for is their half pizza, half salad lunch combo. It never disappoints and is honestly very filling! And the oysters? Hands down my favorite here. So flavorful--I could easily finish three plates by myself lol. Today I behaved and only had two... but no promises for next time even my friend that came last said "damn Amanda!" Overall, great food, great atmosphere, and definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to!

    Looking for a local spot to dine with family and friends for after a College Graduation. Cute location along the delta. Greeted by friendly staff. Not long of a wait to get seated. My family and I decided to each get one dish to share family style. The Calamari appetizer was nicely crisp on the outside and tender pieces of calamari. The Luna chicken was nicely grilled and very tender and juicy. The Barbecue ribs and pesto plate, the tender meat fell off the bone. The creamy pesto pasta was delicious. The salmon bowl had a nicely grilled tender piece of salmon on top of tender rice. The Fish and chips were crispy outside and tender inside. The gumbo had nice spice and flavor. Everything we tried was delicious. Can't wait to bring the family back.

    I love Garlic Brothers. It's tucked away on Ben Holt, next to the water. There's so much space indoor and outdoor on the patio. If you sit inside you still have a great view of the water through all the large windows. Right now the place is full of Christmas lights and decor and I love it so much! Whoever was in control of the music playlist was playing all the R&B jams and I love that too lol. The food is so good and such a variety of options. My friend ordered the fried ravioli appetizer and they're so good! If you like garlic, they're packed with flavor. I ordered the pork belly and it was a perfect balance of crunch and melt in your mouth. The service was great. They were very flexible with our group, allowed us to divide the check, and our waitress didn't even add gratuity. Such nice staff. Checkout all the specials. Each weekday has pretty great deals. I've had the spaghetti special before. How can you beat a huge serving of spaghetti for only $4?! Can't wait to go back. Can't believe it's been so long since I went here.

    Fish Sandwich on Chibatta Roll w/ Fries
    Hugh M.

    It has been years since we had been at Garlic Brothers. It was a beautiful day and I wanted to sit by the water. We came here and sat outside on their patio that faces the Delta Waterway. My wife ordered their Fish & Chips with Garlic Fries. It wasn't like other fish & chips. Not really a batter on the fish and my wife said the fish was not flaky. She said it was ok. I ordered their Fish Sandwich which was pretty good served on a Chibatta Roll with fries. Our server was attentive and it seems like all of their servers did a good job at their respective tables. Overall nice meal and a good time.

    Outdoor seating

    Hubby and I did a google search for brunch spots in Stockton & found this place! We missed breakfast by 10 minutes which we were ok with because honestly lunch menu sounded good!! We must've beat the crowd because when we arrived it was empty maybe 3-4 other tables seated but by the time we finished eating it was getting busy. Anyway plenty of parking, we opted to sit outside & loved it!! There was a nice breeze and plenty of shade our waiter was attentive and friendly. We ordered Garlic Artichoke Dip for appetizer, The New Yorker Pizza & Tri Tip Salad everything was 10/10!!!!

    Welcome to GBR. #stocktonca

    Garlic Brothers Restaurant is a casual seafood/Italian/American restaurant that offers a casual dining experience on the banks of California Delta in Stockton. Today, I visited them on a clear breezy afternoon to grab lunch. I loved my experience. The ambiance was good as well as the phenomenal delta view; the food and drink were delightful and refreshing, respectively. Similarly, its interior layout was spacious with abundant of natural light. And their staff were affable, attentive and professional especially my server who paid attention to my needs. Their menu features a wide variety of pasta dishes, from classic pasta to more adventurous options like Steak and Stone Oven Pizzas. I tried their Chicken Penne and it was creamy and flavorful, and Garlic Parm Fries was lovely, crunchy and warm. Its dipping sexy sauces (ketchup and sour cream) were good. I could taste the fresh garlic and herbs, making each bite delightful. lol. Parking lot available. Prices were reasonable for this type of restaurant. As I finish paying the bill at the counter, a lovely young white 5'4" woman with light brown hair (prolly a customer) approached from behind just to compliment my 90's retro pants. Talking about randomness. And y'all must know, I did not get her digits. Lol. Anyway, back to the review. Overall, this was a good spot to grab lunch. I'd recommend GBR if you're in town.

    Grilled Salmon with dill butter, polenta, and garlic mashed potatoes. Delicious!!
    Sarah B.

    The Ambiance is super cute, it kind of has a Tahoe during the summer feel to it if you sit on the Patio by the water it is very nice! Our server Brandon was extremely sweet, on top of it and prompt!! Amazing service. The host also ran out a debit card we left so that was above and beyond thoughtful. The food we got the crunch shrimp with peanut sauce as an app. Sauce was good but a tad spicy. We got the salmon with polenta and garlic mashed potatoes (this place is said to put a lot of garlic in so they certainly have my vote) the salmon was good the polenta could have had a little more salt but it was still yummy. The salad was a steak mixed green one with lots of veggies and it's delicious! I will definitely get something with their steak next time it was cooked to perfection! 10/10!!!

    The Addiction dish. Pork belly, rice and citrus, malt vinegar honey sauce

    I'd been wanting to try this place for a while now, based on word of mouth. In order for the 2 of…read moreus to get maximum exposure to Fork It's quality, ordered 1 12" Cowboy with BBQ sauce on the side; 1 12" Clucking Bacon Ranch, 1 chocolate cream pie, 1 coconut cream pie and a single order of onion rings. My husband called in the order and I advised him to get there early as things have a tendency to sell out. 15 minutes later he arrived in the small strip mall off Don & Hammer, happy to find a disabled spot almost right in front. The area itself is a bit sketchy but okay during the abbreviated hours, mostly 11AM-4PM.. Closed Saturdays and most Sundays. The two big bags of wonderful smelling food cost $70, and I will describe and show photos of just what you will receive. A special note for the owner's son, Big D. The fact you noticed my guy was both elderly and disabled and offering help with the bags was beyond and above. He doesn't mention it but he's still a bit unsteady after hip surgery. My food rating is 4.5 but genuine kindness bumps it to a full 5! We started in splitting the chicken sandwich. I loved the fresh, lightly toasted bread and the fact this small business father and son team source locally. The roll was dressed with shredded lettuce and a couple ripe tomato slices. Two meaty slices of bacon added to the enjoyment, but what really knocked me out and made this such a fine value, 2 huge, (about the size of your palm and fingers), slices of breast with another half thrown in for good measure. The chicken benefitted from marinating then grilling just right. Missing in action? Any and all ranch dressing-I even looked for to-go containers but none to be found. Comparing notes with DH he said his bread was dripping with sauce to the point of being soggy...I guessed when the sandwich was upright on the drive home everything wet rushed to one side! Stuff happens. The size of these sandwiches is huge but we moved on to the Cowboy for dinner. Cut in two, I took the smaller side, closer to 5". I've deconstructed down to the point of separating out onions, mushroom and tri tip. We opted for Provolone for more of a cheesesteak vibe. Generous slabs of mild cheese helped hold the whole thing together. DH grilled tri tip and ribs for the Stockton Ports game for several years and knew what to look for. The consensus, fair amount of meat, cooked medium well, tender with good flavor. I specified BBQ sauce on the side, which was no problem. That way I could deconstruct my half Cowboy, could be a nurse thing! DH thought too many onions while I thought the ratio to meat was spot on. Sadly the mushrooms turned out to be 3/4ths of one button mushroom thinly sliced for my share. Both grilled onions and mushrooms add additional moisture and flavor. Adding the sauce, a molasses tomato blend with a small peppery kick made for a very enjoyable meal. The onion rings were about 1/2" thick and plentiful. Crispy on the outside while still being moist on the inside with sweet onion. The coconut pie was creamy with toasted coconut sprinkled over the whipped topping. The crust was of interest, buttery cookie instead of graham cracker or standard pie crust. Our chocolate cream pie was a chocolate lover's dream. A light mousse touch to the filling with heavier ganache brownie crust. We're still working on that one. So 4 meals, 2 happy campers and even our dogs give 4 paws up.

I had 'The Real Deal' ( Tri tip, grilled onions and cheese of choice), the garlic fries with Parmesan cheese and two desserts lol! The 'Brown Sugar Apple Cinnamon Cheesecake' and the 'Key Lime pie'! Once a month, they have pastrami sandwiches! Everything was delicious, will definitely be back to try more of the menu.

Some plates were worth it, others weren't, and at the prices they're charging the gaps were hard to ignore. The appetizers were the highlight of the meal. The deviled eggs were a hit at the table and went fast. The jalapeño on each one was a nice touch, though the heat varied depending on which egg you grabbed since it was just a thin slice. The salmon cakes were solid, nothing to complain about. My mom's ceviche tostada was loaded, the avocado was generous and fresh, but the ceviche itself lacked the acidity you expect from the dish and had very little shrimp in it. She said it felt more like a lunch item than a dinner offering, though two of them were filling. My mom's friend had the steak frites, which was the standout plate of the night: a lean cut with a rich mushroom béchamel, well cooked, and the frites were fried rather than what you might expect, but the flavor delivered. My dad's spinach salad was underwhelming, overdressed with a balsamic that was too sharp and overpowered everything else. My ribeye was the disappointment. At $65 I expected better. It was thin, closer to pounded than what you'd expect from the cut, came out medium instead of medium rare, and didn't feel substantial for the price. The baked potato was a basic side, sour cream and onion, nothing more. The broccolini arrived at room temperature, borderline cold, which was unexpected. The au jus on the side didn't add much for me. Service was attentive but veered into overdone territory, the kind of performative politeness that signals they want a good tip more than they're genuinely being warm. It was noticeable. Also worth knowing: if you're seated near the windows, the afternoon sun can be blinding depending on when you go. The atmosphere is genuinely nice and this place works better as a brunch spot than a special occasion dinner destination. I've had better meals here before, which is why I know they can do better. One practical note: if you're parking in the disabled spots near the leasing center next door, the sidewalk doesn't connect to the restaurant entrance. You'll need to go through the parking lot to get there.

The parking could be a lot could be bigger but I guess we went on a busy day. It was a Sunday. Every screen had the World Cup on and that was nice but with the noise we couldn't hear it. Now, for the food. I ordered a jr burger meal and a personal combo pizza. It came out to $30 and some change. The burger tasted like a kids Super Star Burger. If you've ever eaten there they are a 4 on a scale of 10. It was ok. The combo pizza kind of reminded me of a hand tossed Dominos pizza but maybe a little softer dough. I'd give it a 5 out of 10. I like that Michael's or David's style pizza. This one is ok. There are a lot of other things on the menu and the pricing is a little high. My husband also bought a beer for $6. He isn't used to 2026 prices. He's an old timer and misses the 1990's pricing. I mean who doesn't?! They do have points you can earn but not really sure what that would go towards. The games for kids was ok. The old school pool tables are still there. Bring quarters. It cost $1.50 to play. Overall it seems like a nice place to visit at least once. Give it a try. There might be something I missed that someone else might like.
