I have zero complaints. Wonderful staff and amazing food. Definitely order there clams. The sauce used to cook them in was absolutely delicious. The waiter was very attentive and came around every so often refilling our drinks. I would highly recommend eating here read more

I have not personally tried this place but last saturday my daughter left a medical device there. My wife and I contacted the owner Jason on a Sunday which is their closed day and asked him it were possible to get the device. He made it happen and we are very thankful for that. Thank you for your compassion and getting us back the device asap. I have become a fan without trying the food and will support this business. Cant wait to try it out. Thanks again!! read more

Great selection of Bay Area dishes with a lean toward Italian. My family is fairly new to Tracy and found this place to be a local gem. The food is delicious. The staff is attentive, friendly and professional. We have been to M&J's about eight times since we moved here. Always a pleasant, satisfying experience. Full bar. Easy access. Plentiful parking. Some outdoor seating. read more

Don't eat here! Long story-short: we waited 2 hours for our food, some of the plates came out cold, they added an extra tip without telling us, and the food was trash. We wanted to have a nice dinner with my family. They told to us to come sharply on time; if we were late they would cancel our reservation. So we came on time. They sat us in the side room that isn't classy like the main area and needs a major remodel. We waited 2 hours for our food!!! The food finally came out... my chicken was cold like it was sitting for 30 minutes at least. The staff never apologized or offered to comp any part of our over priced meal. The owner even came into our room a few times and never apologized for the wait. We paid and they snuck a $40 tip without telling us. Which was on top of the tip we had already paid. We split the check and I ended up paying $65 for 2 pieces of cold chicken and water. read more

Great Lunch here. Filet cooked to perfection but the cut could have been better for the price. Lobster ravioli was great served with half of a lobster tail and a cream sauce, not too heavy. Margaritas were meh..service was ok. read more

Food, service, ambiance...excellent. we stopped in for lunch. we will be going back for dinner service for sure....

There were only a couple of tables occupied when we sat down, around 7pm on a weekday, and yet the service has been extremely disappointing. Wait staff was slow, inattentive, and I'm fairly sure they forgot to put in our order because we had to keep asking about our drinks and entrees. Mind you, I'm a very easygoing person with past waiting experience myself so I generally try not to be "that" type of guest but after about half an hour with no food in sight and having had to inquire about drinks it had gotten frustrating. Overall the food was decent but hardly the experience i was expecting/hoping for based on online reviews. I doubt I'll dine at this establishment again. read more

Awesome Food, Great service and very comfortable place to eat. I have been here quite a few times and never disappointed. I've enjoyed everything I've tried. read more

We arrived at M&J  Bistro during the rush and there was going to be at least a 45 minute wait.  We were hungry and said thank you and started to walk out the door. The owner said wait, seating at the bar is available! We paused and said sure. We ordered two lemon drops and those shaved chips were amazing!! We could see all of the food coming out of the kitchen from our bar seats and everything looked like fine dining that you would find in San Francisco.  When our food arrived we were very pleased with the quality and presentation.  We had the Gluten Free chicken fettuccine and the teriyaki steak and both were Outstanding!!! We highly recommend M&J Bistro. This is the quality and class that Tracy needed.  Note: make reservations if possible. Cheers! read more

Was in there last week for their amazing prime rib stew and my husband had the fettuccine alfredo. The holiday drinks were fabulous especially the eggnog. To die for! Service was amazing as always prompt and friendly. Food was as good as anything I'd get in San francisco, Sacramento or any other major city. Flavorful and five star. But then every experience at M&J Bistro is a five-star experience. Friendly and welcoming management outstanding wait staff and chef. Happy New Year s&j! Looking forward to 2024 and many more meals with you. read more

First time here, loved it. Clean, good service, relaxed, not uptight, good food. Will be going again.

Loved M & J! Went there for the first time based on reading great reviews of it and it more than met my expectations. The food was delicious and the service was even better. Everyone who helped us was friendly and professional. We asked our server for recommendations and she was spot on. Highly recommend; I wish I lived closer because this would be a regular go-to spot! read more

First timer to the resturant. Also ordered online with special request. The food was on time and took care of the additional charge at the resturant. As I had put into the online order and no surprises. Service was awesome, friendly. Items were packaged separately, took initiative to improve customer experience. Great job as far as I am concerned and very much appreciated. Yes there was a $2.00 charge, but the detail brought value above the $2. Food: even with take out, we always are little more selective. Meaning we want great food prepared well, so we always select what we feel 'travels well'. We were very pleased with the Chicken piccata, I think. In short, chicken breasts was well prepared (moist and delicious), sauce was awesome too. Mashed potatoes was creamy. Added double mash and vegs for wife and I to share. Look forward to coming back for another entree to devour :) read more

excellent evening out. the food was great. the service was great. the atmosphere was pleasant. this was my first time there but I will be back for sure! read more

I've lived in Tracy for almost 30 yrs, I also have a culinary fine dining background. I have to say that M & J Bistro is the real deal. The food was amazing as was the front of the house. The last time I remember having food so thoughtfully prepared was at a high end restaurant in San Francisco. M & J's Bistro not only measured up but surpassed all my expectations. Thank you. read more

The food is fresh and delicious. Have been there a few times during CoVid. However, 45 minutes to 1 hour is way too long to wait for your order! It would be helpful to hear in advance if things are backed up in the kitchen. Not sure if we'll return. If we do, I'm definitely bringing my stop watch to see how long it takes from the time I give my order. read more

The food is phenomenal, and within Tracy city limits. We enjoy it every time we come to this restaurant. Our waiters and staff are incredibly attentive. They bring everything as requested. The owner will also come out and greet and make sure everything is as requested. The ambiance is romantic yet lively. We love coming here and enjoying the wonderful food without having to leave the city. I will always support a mom and pops restaurant vs a chain restaurant. read more

Yum. Just picked up my filet mignon it was so good. Cooked perfectly for when I got home. The steak had time to "rest" as Brian told me and I ate it all! Bri loved her pizza as always. Everyone please remember to support our local businesses. These are hard times and we want them to stay around. read more

Ok M & J we see you!!! Looking for good food and a little something the entire family could enjoy. This place did not disappoint! Sirloin, salmon and animpossible burger for the kiddo. We also tried the puff pastry with prime rib.... all I can say about that is DAMN THAT WAS GREAT! As I ate my food I watched other plates coming out and I have taken notes for everything else I will be trying next! What a gem this place is! Thank you a great dinner and your staff is on point too! Extremely friendly and attentive! read more

Recently went and got a drink for my 21 super classy super beautiful and the serine was the best I highly recommend for a beautiful night

Stopped here for lunch on the way back home from a day trip to the area. What a great restaurant and great staff. The food was excellent with a variety of choices from the menu. This is a hidden gem in Tracy. read more

My experience was ok... It was Friday evening they were BUSY and UNDERSTAFFED. I like the atmosphere but the bartender was really over the top had me embarrassed for him. Food took forever and mine wasn't that great. But i can see past that cause it seemed like the owner was doing EVERYTHING and some. I will go back one day cause I know they can do better. read more

Wait staff was attentive and pleasant, food ordered was chicken chopped salad and an M&J Bistro burger. The salad was delicious, the burger was not good. It was WAY over cooked and about the thickness of a McDonalds hamburger patty. For a sit down restaurant charging 15+ dollars for a burger I was expecting alot more. The atmosphere is nice. read more

Amazing service and food, been there twice, will definitely go back, servers are very friendly, very nice and clean read more

We had a wonderful dinner on 3/16/19! Our server Brian was great, he was attentive and super friendly for our party of 11. Lots of good menu choices, there is something for everyone. They also have some good local craft beers. They have a nice kids menu, with lots of options. The Shaved Potatoes appetizer is a must have. The blue cheese sauce with it is delicious. Some of the dishes that stood out were the Teriyaki Steak, prepared perfectly with garlic mashed potatoes. The Prawn Fettuccine had lots of prawns and the garlic-parmesan sauce was excellent. We were celebrating a birthday so of course had to have dessert. The crepes were amazing and several choices. We met Jason, the owner and he thanked us for coming. A great local spot in Tracy. read more

This review is a long time coming .. me and my husband recently moved here from San Jose in October where we were used to a plethora of restaurant options with great food choices. We decided on this place for our Christmas Eve dinner and it didn't disappoint. Everything we ordered was delicious. When I picked up the food the manager or front desk guy was so helpful and even helped carry our food to my car because we had a large order. Thank you again for great food and service.. we plan to eat there again but to stay and eat inside this time. read more

Went here for lunch with family to celebrate a special event. I ordered the pasta- it had too much sauce, it was more like a soup dish than a pasta dish. The only good thing was our server, she was very attentive. read more

The food was fresh and delicious; relaxing atmosphere, with comfortable seating and easy parking

AMAZING!! My husband and daughter and I went here for dinner tonight. The staff was professional, courteous and checked on us often but didn't bug us. And can I just say how unbelievably delicious the food was? Oh my goodness. I had the mini portabella mushroom fettuccine, my husband had the ribeye with garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus and my daughter had the chicken strips with grilled veggies. We also had the bruschetta starter and a couple glasses of wine. All of it was to die for! We are going to make this one of our regular spots from now on! read more

My wife and I decided to try M&J for lunch today. She had been there once for a group event and it was my first time. The server was very friendly and attentive, and also very knowledgeable about the menu. We ordered the crisp shaved potatoes as an appetizer. They come with a bleu cheese sauce, which concerned me because I absolutely cannot stand bleu cheese. That being said, the server suggested that I try the sauce anyway and I might be surprised. He wasn't wrong...it was delicious...more of an aioli with a slightly cheesy bite. For our meal, my wife ordered the filet medallion sliders and I had a combo pizza. Both came with a house salad. The sliders were small in size, but HUGE on flavor. Perfectly medium rare as ordered, the meat and mushrooms almost melted in our mouths. They had a generous spread of their bleu cheese horseradish sauce, and once again, DELICIOUS. (Remember, this is coming from the guy who is nauseated by bleu cheese). They were definitely a party in my mouth. My combo pizza was also top notch. It was loaded with fresh, flavorful toppings and much bigger than I would have expected for the price. We will definitely be returning to try more of the menu. I highly recommend giving them a try! read more

Top Notch Food, World Class Service. Definitely recommend the daily specials. We had Locally sourced farm fresh food according to waitstaff. Gave us all the time we needed to enjoy our lunch. We had four courses and a bottle of wine. Next time we are giving the Beuna Vista Irish Coffee read more

Came here for a date night and was blown away! The food was A M A Z I N G! Our waiter was super friendly and the best of all...the owner came and greeted all of the customers and spoke to each and everyone one of us. I thought that was so cool. We ordered shaved potatoes as appetizers, we checked in on Yelp and received it for FREE! BTW- it was DELICIOUS! I ordered the Filet Mignon w/ lobster and fried prawns for $6 extra. The meal itself was $45, a bit pricey, but It was delicious! My husband ordered the French dip sandwich and he said it was one of the best he's ever had! This restaurant is located in a Plaza that doesn't look too appealing (it's not dirty or trashy) but this restaurant has more of an upscale look and feel to it. There's a desperate room where you can have private events that can hold up 30 people. We ordered the B&J Bistro sampler dessert. It came with the chocolate hazelnut decadent crepe (tasted like Nutella wrapped in a chocolate flavored crepe), a nutty butter crepe (tasted like peanut butter wrapped in a chocolate flavored crepe..kinda like a snicker bar taste) , a sugarless cheesecake and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. They were absolutely delicious! I'm so happy I finally got to eat here...I've been begging my husband to have dinner here and today 1/7/16 my dream finally came true! Would I come here again...ABSOLUTELY! read more

M & J Bistro - Desert - New American Near Me - Tracy, California

I hosted a surprise birthday dinner for my dad's 70th birthday here and am so glad I did! This place met my expectations in every way! Location: A little unusual for this kind of restaurant. It is in a shopping center that shares a parking lot with Big Lots and Dollar Tree, which I would have expected from a fast food chain like Subway. On the upside, there was plenty of parking! Event Room: Seats up to 26 people, which was just enough for my event. Everything was neatly setup upon our arrival and each table already had a carafe of iced water and drinking glasses. I requested a small table for the cake and although the space was tight with 6 tables, they made it happen. They allowed me to bring my own centerpieces and decorate each table as I pleased, which was definitely a plus! Food: SIMPLY DELICIOUS!!! They had a preset menu, which was exactly what I was looking for when planning my event. I chose the package with the following menu selections at $36 per person: portabella mushroom pasta, salmon, and teriyaki steak. EVERYONE loved the food and every single person's plate was brought out hot! I chose salmon -- it came with mashed potatoes, spinach, and a couple of snap peas. It was delicious! Customer Service: GREAT!!! We had one main server, which worked out well for the most part. There was a couple of times we looked for her, but overall, she was good and was able to get us everything needed. She had help when bringing out the plates, which allowed everyone to get their plates in a timely manner. The manager also came in and checked on us a few times. I would highly recommend this place for any small event! I am already thinking of another occasion to host just so I can have another event here. Lol! Thank you so much, Bryan and staff!!! read more

Amazing food. I'm pretty sure this is the only fancy dining place in tracy. Lobster and Shrimp Ravioli was amazing. read more

Late post from Valentines day. We had lunch here and it was pretty good. My husband had the shrimp pasta and I had a beef sandwhich with fries. The sandwich was really really good! The fries, not so much. They looked and tasted like they were burnt and the portion was ridiculous for the price we paid. We left and my son was still hungry and asking to go to Burger King. He loves fries and there just wasn't enough for him, he's 3 so you can imagine how small the portion was. My husband said his pasta was bland. I tried it and thought it was really good. My drink was delicious and the service was good. I would try it out again before really being able to recommend to someone else. Overall, I wasn't impressed but wasn't disappointed either read more
