Great for lunch or for family fine dining. And yes those are two very different things. For lunch do the pot pie. For fine dining it's the steak or skirt steak. Lunch can be for roughly $18, but dinner options are 25 on the low end and 40+ for the stuff that brings people here. read more

I'm not sure why it has taken me this long to review Market Tavern, but I've been here several times over the years, and my experiences have generally been good. I recommend making a reservation ahead of time, especially on weekends, as wait times can get long or they may not have any availability at all. I don't like how dark it is inside, so I prefer sitting near the front by the bar, where there's more lighting. They offer some special and seasonal items, but I've mostly enjoyed their wood-fired pizzas, espcially the Prosciutto and Arugula. I've also enjoyed their braised short ribs, skirt steak, and buttermilk chicken sandwich. For brunch, I usually get the Short Rib Poutine and house-made doughnuts, but I noticed the poutine was no longer on the menu during my most recent visit. Their furikake fries and deviled eggs are also good. Overall, a decent restaurant for brunch, lunch, and dinner. read more

Highly recommend! I LOVED Market Tavern. We were in town for a small convention and asked a local friend for restaurant recs. They recommended Market Tavern. Hubby and I really enjoyed this restaurant. It was a Saturday afternoon, and we were seated immediately. Service was great. Our server was friendly and efficient. Food was excellent! Hubby ordered the spaghetti with two meatballs. I got the prosciutto & arugula wood fired pizza - so good!! I brought home leftovers and enjoyed every bite! Definitely coming back when we're in town again. They also have other locations like Dublin and Lodi. Go check them out! read more

Stumbled in for lunchtime with a friend before we continued to shop for Mother's Day gifts. So a little break lol. Sat at the bar top. Bartenders were all super friendly and so happy! Their vibes made us happy and made lunch even better. Brussels sprouts - 10/10 Short rib taquitos - 12/10 sooo good! Fries - 9/10 And of course, always have to grab a Runaway Bride cocktail! Always been my choice for a drink here. read more

Friday night... arrived early and was still seated in a couple of minutes! Wait staff was pregnant and extremely helpful and friendly! I had the chicken sandwich that was juicy and flavorful. We also had the spaghetti and meatballs. 2 large ones. Good entree. We also had the well known bacon and kale pizza , crispy thin crust and a very special shoutout out to the return of the best spinach salad around!!! A meal in itself!! Yea!!! The food arrived very promptly!! Oh, and don't forget the deviled eggs and the grilled corn bread with the special butter... yumm!!! read more

I rated this one higher than the Livermore location one because considering the options around and honestly the overall quality seemed a bit better. This place felt like a really elevated Applebees. And I don't use that derogatorily, and I know I used that same analogy before. But this type of elevated is actually more closer to an evening celebration out and you dress kinda noice or church nice. I like the corn bread, the steak, and coconut shrimp. Service is on point. It's a big place with lots of parking, I'd reserve if you can. I'd go back but honestly it's kinda expensive to keep going back so often which I said this is like church nice / evening out. There's a bar with tv too so can be a cool spot to watch the game at. This is a nice date night spot too with some good wine selection read more

Seven of us walked in after doing an escape room because yelp said they had gluten free options. We were quoted a 20 minute wait but we were seated in a private room in 5. The atmosphere was very tavern pub, but clean and with a fancy feel. The Service was definitely 5-star. The waitress Fabi is so nice and sweet and cared. They had good priorities. The food was Excellent. I had the pot pie and it was so creamy and delicious. My friends and coworkers liked their food as well, accept they said the chicken sandwich was a bit overdone and burnt. Overall we had a great time relaxing and laughing. Great atmosphere and food! read more

My friend wanted to come here before there was a location in Lodi where we live. I have to admit, she is less picky than I am. She ordered the fish tacos. I guess she liked that they came stacked high with all kinds of stuff. I couldn't find anything that really spoke to me. I generally want a simpler kind of dish. Not a big fan of places that dress their dishes up with things like pickled onions and mystery house sauces. So I got a burger, hoping it would be a big juicy not over cooked burger like you used to be able to get. I had to customize it a lot though. You always have to cross your finger that they will get it right when you do that. Well she liked her tacos and my burger was ok. Not worth the money. Expensive place for every day food that's just sort of dressed up with stuff you can do without. Quality was generally good. Kind of a dumpy lot to be located in, but that's Stockton for ya. I don't remember much about the service or the ambiance so they must have been ok. Probably not going back tho. I can get a better burger with less fuss for a better price just about anywhere. That said, you don't go to these types of places for a burger, you get them when you're dragged there. All in all, I wish that there were more family owned operations locally that just had good food and good prices and good service. Too many places that are either complete garbage or trying to be super high end in basically run down towns. read more

The pork chop was on point. Perfectly seasoned. Cooked just right. Super juicy. Service was great. Staff was friendly and on it. The place looks clean and sharp. Good vibe overall. Only miss was the Brussels sprouts. A bit undercooked and bland. I would go back for the pork chop for sure. Just passing on the Brussels sprouts next time. read more

Recently visited here with a group of 6. I made a reservation ahead of time and upon arrival they seated my party right on time. The staff here is very friendly and attentive. I ordered the calabrian chili wings which were crispy and had great flavor. My girlfriend orders the salmon and she really enjoyed it. The prices are very reasonable for the area. I will definitely make a trip back. read more

Service was good. Our server was friendly and courteous. Nice, fun ambience. Food is decent but rather pricey. We ordered: Wild Pacific Cod: Per the hubby, he thought it was good. He enjoyed the garlic mash and the vegetables. Chicken Parmesan: My son thoroughly enjoyed his meal. He ate the entire plate! Mary's Rotisserie 1/2 Chicken: Chicken was tender and juicy. I did not like the salsa verde on top of the chicken. The veggies had a lot of flavors going on - savory, sour, sweet, herby. Too much for me. Autumn Lasagna: A hearty dish for a vegetarian meal. My favorite was the soup of the day, which was Beef Tuscan. Delicious and filling. The dessert menu looked promising but we opted to skip dessert as we were quite full. read more

I'm not from the area, but was more than willing to try this place on a recommendation from a friend. We had a group of 7 and they were so kind to seat us in a private room area. It was perfect for our little birthday celebration for someone in our party of 7. The ambiance is clean, cozy and a touch of formal. The waitress + rest of the staff were great. They took great care of us. They were fun, attentive, helpful and genuinely seem like they enjoy their job. The food came out in a very timely manner which I was pleasantly surprised. The portions were also more than enough, so we ended up bringing leftovers home. As far as winners in my book, I really would say the Margherita Pizza, Four Cheese Mac & Cheese, Cornbread and Furikake Fries (plus the dipping sauces) had to be my favorites. If I'm in the area again, I wouldn't mind stopping by to try more pizzas and maybe a steak entree. Thanks for a great experience Market Tavern. read more

Decent food, but pricy for what it is. We ordered 3 items: Wood Grilled Octopus, Cab Burger, and Cobb Salad. +Food: Expensive, salty, but just good enough to get you to finish your meal. For the Cab burger, it is $21 dollars for a basic burger, just bun, meat, veggies, and sauce with a side of fries. If you want cheese, it costs $3 more... Fries are as basic as they can get, thin cut and salty. I would pass on this and opt for something else on the menu if you take into account what you get, the basic taste and burger ingredients do not justify it. The Wood Grilled Octopus is decent. Tastes fresh and has a strong savory flavor that any seafood lover would enjoy. They do add a sauce on it - I would recommend requesting it on the side, so you can enjoy the grilled octopus and then dip it in the sauce if you'd like. The potatoes are considered '' crispy '' per the menu description, but it was quite the opposite. Tasted more so like they boiled/steamed it, no crunch on the potatoes we got whatsoever. Cobb Salad is pretty solid and good portion. Would recommend this if you want a salad. Nothing much to say about it other than it being fresh and the avocados were nice and green. +Service & Ambiance Attentive staff and friendly. Moody & Dark Lighting and clean restaurant. No complaints Overall rating: 3.75 read more

It was really good, fresh, drinks were yummy. I'd definitely return and recommend to friends. Service was quick and professional. The vibe was just right. read more

I've been coming here pretty frequently whenever I'm in town. It's one of my go-to for dinner; nice ambiance, service is continuously great all around, and delicious food. I've tried pretty much everything on the menu so far and some highlights: - cornbread; so buttery, nicely crunchy, soft, and the lightly spicy butter is delectable. I think about this cornbread OFTEN - Wood grilled octopus; this place cooks octopus like no other. It's juicy, never dry, and cooked to perfection. I request for the sauces on the side as it could be a bit overwhelming. Potatoes are thick, soft, and crunchy. - Chicken pot pie is delicious and savory. Nice amount of veggies, creamy, and lots of tender chunks chicken. Add a pinch of pepper and it's complete. The flakey crust is the cherry on top. read more

My absolute FAVORITE restaurant in Stockton, whether it's for lunch or dinner it's absolutely DEELISH tonight we got something very similar to last time but switched up one of our appetizers and we're not disappointed! The usual being the delicious skirt steak for me with mash potatoes and polenta, and my friend got the same thing but extra veggies (Brussel sprouts and broccoli) and for the appetizers the deviled eggs, and the short rib taquitos. Both were 10/10 amazing!!! Our server was an ANGEL and literally memorized our entire order and drinks!! II was highly impressed he got EVERYTHING right!! Someone give this man a raise!! And he was super on top of everything and the sweetest!! What wonderful service! The ambiance was definitely classy, but casual in a sense since we did sit in the bar area. I absolutely love the atmosphere! Excellent service, delicious food and great vices!!! Always an absolute hit!!! read more

Returned for another wonderful dinner the other night! YAY! :0) We ordered a bunch of small plates to share and take home too! The charcuterie plate has an amazingly delicious variety, it's a MUST order every time! YUM! Meatballs were flavorful and cooked to perfection! They also had the perfect balance of meat to sauce ratio for me in that the dish had slightly more sauce to eat with almost every bite! Cornbread and special butter was heavenly and amazingly tasty, but they are too oily these days, so we might not order this anymore. Bummer! :0( Beet Salad was split for us which was awesome so we didn't have to portion out the salad. Thank You! Yummy! The Thai Brussels Sprouts are consistently amazing! LOVE them every time! Thank You to your wonderful, friendly and attentive staff and for your delicious food! We can't wait to return! :0) read more

First time trying this spot! All my friends were raving about this spot. So I decided to give it a try. The ambiance inside was really nice. The lights inside were dimmed so it gave far a fancy vibe and the decor was really nice. The service was great. The waitress checked in on us often and offered great recommendations. Her service was greatly appreciated. I ordered a cheese burger with fries when I came. The food was excellent and it came in a timely manner. I overall give this restaurant a 4/5 star review. Will definitely be back to try out other menu items and also try out their mixed drinks. read more

Wow! This place is amazing!! Pricey but worth it. I came on a Saturday night. I had to put myself on the waitlist but it was a 15 minute wait so it wasn't too bad. The ambiance is nice. It's low dimmed so a good spot for date night. I ordered the bruschetta as an appetizer. The little tomatoes resemble little weinies but looks can be deceiving because it was delicious. The mozzarella tasted so fresh and the balsamic sauce was perfect. Now for my entree, I got the spring lasagna and wow, not was it filling but amazing. I hate asparagus but this dish made it love it. How does the viral video go? "Amazing, Give me 15 of them" Service could use some improvement, but the food certainly made up for it. read more

Market Tavern Burger Review I really wanted to like this burger, but it missed the mark for me. The patty felt too dense and clumsy, almost overworked, and it did not have much flavor. The bacon tasted and felt like it may have been pre-cooked instead of fresh, which took away from the burger. The fries were overcooked and pretty forgettable. For the price, the flavor just was not there, and it did not feel worth the cost. For comparison, First Street Alehouse in Livermore makes a 5 out of 5 burger in my opinion. Their burger has better flavor, texture, and overall balance. Market Tavern's burger was more like a 2.5 out of 5 at best. Too bad, because I was hoping for a solid burger here. read more

We had dinner with friends to celebrate a birthday, and everything was phenomenal! Our table ordered the chicken parmesan, the turkey and vegetable soup, and the four cheese lasagna -- all absolutely delicious. Our waiter, Chris, provided excellent service and was incredibly attentive throughout the night. We also loved that they have a little store where you can buy items from the menu along with other goodies. We'll definitely be back so my husband can enjoy the full experience. Highly recommend! read more

Food is ok, nothing to write home about. Servings are considered fair depending on what you've ordered. I just can't justify paying the high end prices for Applebee's/Chili's type menu. And a personal note from the manager. Here's the thing, I don't eat at Chilis or Applebee's, it's your menu that resembles. Now my family and friends will never be back! Promise! read more

Delicious food, good service, great atmosphere. It's a high energy restaurant, I've taken my parents here and they loved the food but were overwhelmed by the music/noise-that's the vibe though. It's a younger crowd, not saying older folks will hate it but it's more of a high energy place. The servers are fantastic; never had a bad experience with it. The menu it phenomenal; lots of great specialty items (try the crispy duck leg confit appetizer with the cut of the day main-you won't be disappointed). Drink menu is superb. read more

Glad I went back to have the famous Skirt Steak everyone is talking about. Wow !! I had to go back after reading all the great reviews and so glad I did read more

This restaurant is very very good, and it makes it even better because the pricing is extremely reasonable. The skirt steak was perfectly cooked. The wood fire grill gives it a great great flavor. I only recommend they don't cut the steak as soon as it's cooked bc it looses a lot of flavor that way. The service was very good as well. The tiramisu was also very good. read more

Recommended by a Co-Worker Now I will recommend to anyone and everyone. There was an hour wait time on a Wednesday night and i understood why after dining.

The best salmon dish ever had. Salmon although small portion for price was perfectly done and side dish tasted amazing.

Service was great. The whole place is good looking. The food is just a little bland. I ordered the fish tacos and there wasn't a lot of flavor. My friends ordered the hot chicken sandwich and the Mary's chicken sandwich. They rate theirs at a 3.5. Won't go back for the food but they have a large bar on your way in. The drinks were delicious. don't forever to ask for FREE bread when you come in. Really good. Vibes are there. Food just needs to be more flavorful for the prices that are charged. read more
