    Crisp Shaved Potatoes
    Rodrigo C.

    Food was delicious. This is a hidden gem in Tracy. The food was a San Francisco flavor which is lovely away from the city. The restaurant is a small venue but the service was amazing. The prime rib bites and the pork chop were so goooood. It's a must restaurant to eat if you're in Tracy, CA

    Looking from the outside you won't think there is much beauty inside. But go inside! The prawn fettuccine was amazing! The clam chowder was so good too and the chips! Must get the chips! Service was very nice. They came to the table often to check up on us. Very nice people and the owner was very nice too!

    Had a lovely lunch at this restaurant for Father's Day! All the plates were big, the food was delicious, the atmosphere and the service were really high quality. Our server helped sweeten the strong cocktail for one of us and brought extra salad dressing for another person. We had a spectacular time and will be coming back, 5/5!

    Eggplant Neapolitan

    Yum! I had a great time and a delicious meal with my boo for this year's Valentine's Day dinner at M & J's. My boyfriend was already familiar but as a vegetarian and Oakland local, I don't make it to many steak spots--and definitely not many steak spots in Tracy. But it was worth the drive. I forgot to make a reservation, but there was only about a 10-minute wait for us to get our table at 7 on a Saturday, so it was all to the good. The host was super friendly and sweet. After our brief wait, we were seated and I made sure to check in on Yelp so we could get those free Crisp Shaved Potatoes! To drink, I sipped on their current special, the Love Potion, sans grapefruit, while my partner-in-dine kept it classic with a Cadillac Margarita. My boyfriend already knew what he wanted on the ride over: their Teriyaki Steak, which he said was perfect. I initially ordered the Eggplant Neapolitan but just wasn't feeling it. It's a major stack of eggplant and marina on top of a bed of fettuccine that just didn't do it for me. When that sweet host I mentioned from before asked me what he could get to replace it and I said I was good with mashed potatoes and veggies, he was incredibly suspicious. "You're sure you don't want anything else?" Nope. No need. Those mashed potatoes and veggies were so good that next time I'll know what I'm going to get on the ride over, too.

    I've been here countless times and realized I had not given this establishment a review. This is my go to spot for birthdays, Mother's Day etc... The owner Jason is very personable. Brian is in charge and he runs the house smoothly. The food has never failed to satisfy. The shaved potatoes, shrimp chili and the tempura green beans are the best. The lobster ravioli and the Alfredo's are also really good. For lunch, I love the crispy chicken sandwich, that's not on the dinner menu. They have a full bar, they have your typical drinks, your wines, beers and non alcoholic beverages. The ambiance is dressy/casual. It can get a bit loud sometimes but not enough to be disruptive, more people enjoying each others company. A bonus: 5 miles from my house!!!

    Are they gluten free options?

    Yep, I told the waiter about my allergy and had no problems afterward. I ordered the chopped salad, the French onion soup (no crouton), and a gf crepe for dessert.

Everything looks the same and the same friendly atmosphere resides. Service is always awesome, and so is the food. This time we both chose the fish and chips lunch which includes 3 good sized pieces of batter dipped fish, and perfectly crispy fries. It was all great. Prior visit - This is a great little place to be for a meal. Totally unassuming from the street and even when you walk up, as it is in a small strip business center off of 11th Street. When I walked in for lunch, I was immediately greeted by a guy behind the bar (which is right at the door) with a smile. I proceeded upstairs to the clean and comfortable 'loft' and grabbed a table along the window so I could see out. The interior is clean and simple, open first floor to second floor ceiling. Great music playing, and just a nice vibe all the way around. Andrea, came by with a smile and greeting, asked if I had any questions, and headed off with my order. I didn't get the bartender's name, but he was just as attentive and super nice, as he came upstairs to my table and described some of the beers he currently has available. Small batch craft beers are good. . . Food: The menu is not so 'typical' as you get to select your protein, the sauce or spice for that protein, then your carb, and your veggie (or make it a salad). Nice choices too. My chicken with Korean BBQ sauce, beer batter fries and grilled Brussels sprouts was good, especially the sprouts. My chicken was on the dry side, but I have a feeling it may have been due to the fact they were managing a party of 15 as well as all the other patrons while I was there. A bit hectic for two people to keep up that pace. I definitely recommend coming to the Upper Room.

The portions were generous; we even took some home! I will definitely check out some of their other menu items when I'm in the area again. Thanks Upper Room !

I was using as much as I could on each dip and was still left with tarter sauce at the end. The fries are unique and extremely crispy and different. I loved them. Never had fries like that before, truly unique. Can't wait to try more stuff on tje menu. Pro tip: they close earlier than usual on Sunday so come early on that day. We arrived at closing time but they was nice enough to let is sit down and order.

    Review #995 Posted on 2.6.26…read more We've came here a few times now, most notably tonight Friday the 31st for takeout. The last time we came to eat here, we dined inside and it was packed. This spot is located on Naglee Road right next to the other restaurants, Mall, & Target. It's pretty close to the freeway as well. This night for whatever reason it was way more calm/tame, not as many people. The food at Applebee's is underrated in my opinion. However on this night they forgot to pack our salad, and the bags are packed up so tight you can't pretty much open them on the spot and see if anythings missing without having to basically repack it with new bags. Order was also a tad late, I came about 10 minutes after quoted time and my order was yet to be packed up. I will keep coming back to this location though as I feel they give pretty good service, and have a nice staff.

Wanted to stop for food and to watch the Warriors game. Decided to check out the Applebee's since we went to BJ's the week prior. We have a friend that lives in Tracy, so we invited him out. It wasn't too busy, so we decided to grab a table in the bar area. They have a good amount of specials. On Tues, it's $2 off glasses of wine, $2 off woodford old fashion, $3 bud light 16 oz, $3 michelob ultra 16 oz. Food wise it was steak night, so their top sirloin was $9.99 for a 6oz and $13.99 with 2 classic sides. I also believe after 9pm they do half off apps? Not completely sure, but I recall waiting til around that time to order few apps. Our friend wanted boneless wings when we got there, so those were full price at $15.99. The ones I ordered were only $8. Food was as expected for an Applebee's. I wanted the old fashion special, but apparently they were out. So I just asked if they could make a skinny margarita. I know, completely different, but I just wanted to try the OF since it was a special. Also, if you order a back, they charge you an extra $0.49. I found that very odd. Plus, the hubs wanted an actual soda separately to have with dinner and not a back so there's that. The bar area was pretty mellow. We sat at a table where we could view a few different TVs. One thing to note, this place was freezing. I was sooo cold. Idk why they had the air blasting so much, but I had to wear two jackets to stay okay. Not warm, but okay. I'm a sucker for a HH, so luckily we got to partake in some specials. REVIEW #3910
