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

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

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

Omg..the food is good. The cornbread is too die for. Never had it fried like this but will highly recommend. The lobster pizza was delicious and the wild mushroom pizza with smoke olives added was great. If in the area...please try. They have several location. The drinks were very good as well. The server was pleasant. The set up is nice for intimate dinners or with the group. 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

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

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

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

Market Tavern - Ribeye steak dinner - New American Near Me - Stockton, California

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

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

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

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

we had lunch at Market Tavern in Stockton, California today. I ordered the taquitos and they were excellent, and my wife had the hanger steak, which she really enjoyed as usual. The significant downside is the noise level inside the restaurant -- the music is extremely loud and makes it uncomfortable to have a normal conversation. Based on my meter readings, the music was consistently over 90 dB in the dining area, which exceeds the 75 dB maximum sound level that Stockton's noise standards allow for many indoor, noise‑sensitive uses, with thresholds reduced an additional 5 dB when the noise consists primarily of music. Levels in the 90 dB range are also above commonly recommended safe exposure levels for prolonged listening, especially for children, whose hearing is more sensitive and vulnerable to long‑term damage. That is disappointing, because aside from the excessively loud music, the food and overall restaurant experience are very good. 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

They are usually a 5 for me! But they changed the cod....my favorite item just turned into my least favorite. It is not good. Please bring back the original dish. 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

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

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 - Paloma, Bloody Mary, and espresso martini. - New American Near Me - Stockton, California

Market Tavern is my favorite restaurant to go to for fine dining in Stockton. I love to bring friends and family here for celebrations. The service is friendly and the food is delicious. The ambiance is lovely: friendly and bustling with laughter and activity. The cocktails aren't boring since they has several well thought out ingredients but could be better tasting in general. All of the appetizers and entrees I've tried here have not disappointed. My favorite appetizer is the brussel sprouts. My favorite entrees are the autumn lasagna, the kurobuta pork chop, the braised short ribs and the wild mushroom pizza (it's made with gruyere cheese!!). Their polenta in the pork chop and short ribs entrees is divine! They also used to have some amazing empanadas on the appetizer menu that I hope they bring back. This is a Stockton gem so make reservations ahead of time as it's always busy! Even on a Wednesday evening there was a 1 hour waitlist at 6:30 pm! Please also note there is a steep cake cutting fee if you bring your own cake. read more

It had been a while since I have eaten here, my experience yesterday was mixed. We got seated quickly which was great and our food came out in a very timely manner. The food was hot and delicious. We had the deviled eggs, short rib tacos, khatchapourri, and salad. The food was flavorful and fresh. The service was where the problem was. Our server was very inattentive and it almost felt like she was ignoring us. A couple times I tried to get her attention and she walked in the other direction. We were ready for our check for nearly 20 minutes and she never came near enough to get her attention. We loved the food and the ambiance of the place. The service needs some work. read more

Amazing service and the food definitely lived up to the photos on Yelp! The atmosphere is a little darker just a heads up and the music isn't too loud. If you're looking for something more reserved yet social this is your spot. The bar is first come first serve. So if you don't want to wait for the dining area just ask. We waited no more than 5 minutes for our table for as busy as it was. My friend and I started off with the Short Rib Taquitos and they were definitely a great way to start off our meal. The chipotle aioli and the tender short ribs really makes this starter come together. I went ahead and ordered the Chicken Parmesan and substituted the marinara for pesto only. I definitely recommend because I cleared my plate. I'm pretty sure I did the happy dance with every bite. My friend ordered the Skirt Steak ( medium well ) with the two sides it came with, the garlic mash and cauliflower. She really enjoyed it and said it was worth every bite. She even got lucky enough to order a scoop of salted caramel gelato to go. Samantha was our server and was very patient and attentive. Overall, highly recommend and looking forward to coming back. Thank you Market Tavern for the great food and service! read more

Whenever I'm in town meeting with friends or family, Market Tavern is typically the go-to as it's very easy to make a group reservation via Open Table. I'm usually able to snag a table for same-day. For appetizers, you can't go wrong with the wings, cornbread, and/or khachapuri. Khachapuri is a pretty big app to share just fyi. For entree, I always go for the cut of the day and every time I've dined here it's always been ribeye. With my low carb lifestyle, I'm also able to easily sub the mashed potato with extra veg. It comes with a nice herb butter. I always order the ribeye and it's consistent every time. I do love the little market that they have where you can purchase a lot of their items and baked goods to-go and for a more affordable price. read more

4/5 for Stockton, 3/5 overall. Nice spot in Stockton for a date night, but nothing too special. We ordered the Khachapuri (not on the menu!), Skirt Steak (came with grilled broccoli, roasted garlic mash, herbed butter), Rigatoni and Sausage (came with mushrooms, broccoli, tomato cream), and the Pumpkin Tiramisu for dessert. The Khachapuri was FABULOUS, and tasted extremely authentic. Khachapuri is a traditional Georgian dish of cheese-filled bread with a runny egg in the middle. The dough was very chewy and soft in the best way, the cheese was so rich and the egg was very runny. This was delicious and I would come back just to get this. Highly recommend. I ordered the Skirt Steak medium, however it came out medium well. There was also a hair that was on the steak, which I didn't notice until AFTER the photo was taken and my date noticed it for me.. I didn't want to bother asking the staff to remake it but it was a let down that they overcooked the steak and also left a hair on it. The flavor however was very tasty and the roasted garlic mash was delicious. Even the grilled cauliflower was good. My date ordered the Rigatoni and Sausage and I would say please pass on this. It tasted like something you could definitely make at home with jarred pasta sauce. It was very tart, did not have enough cream and needed more black pepper. There also wasn't enough sausage. For dessert, the server recommeded the Pumpkin Tiramisu since it was a seasonal item. This was very dry, and only had one layer of lady fingers. The pumpkin flavor was good but it just wasn't as moist as more authentic tiramisu I have had. Overall, 3/5, but since we're in Stockton I'm giving it a 4/5. The service was good and the ambiance was nice, however the menu is very limited and I just wasn't very impressed. read more

We got invited to the Market Tavern and it was great food. Make sure you have a reservation, we went at 3:45 and it was already pretty packed on a Friday. We ordered so many things and everything was great. I had a vegan impossible burger with fries, my wife had the vegetarian lasagna and my kids had the fish tacos and chicken burger. We also ordered the bread and corn bread. We also ordered the beat salad which was great. The restaurant can become a bit noisy but it is not too bad. If you want good food with great service, this is the place to go. As I said above, make sure you plan ahead and make a reservation. read more
