We came on a Saturday afternoon for lunch, towards the end of the lunch rush. But the restaurant must have been severely short handed. We were sat immediately, but it took our server about 15 minutes to take our order and roughly 45 minutes to get our food. Our table of 4 ordered 2 burgers, a wrap and I ordered their garden salad. My side salad was delivered last. My salad was good, but had a bit too much onion and unfortunately, the onions were on the strong side. I shared some bites of my fiancé's burger, and it was delicious. While I really enjoyed his burger, I don't think we'll be coming back any time soon just because it took so long to be served. Maybe if we're not in a hurry we'd comeback.
This was my second time coming to Midgley's. We had the poke nachos and the Wagyu sliders. Both were very good. I would say the ambience is casual. The only issue that I had was there was confusion on the Wagyu sliders and the waitress forgot to put the order in. But they remedy that when I brought it to their attention. No worries.
The food was just OK pretty subpar. We had the smoked prime rib and it really was over smoked. I had to ask if there was liquid smoke on it cause that stuff makes me gag. I was assured there wasn't but could've fooled me.
We sat outside on the patio and enjoyed a nice evening with great service. Food - we started with the fried avocado. It was just enough flavor to keep it light. I had the chili that was hidden under the fried onions. So tasty. I enjoyed the dish. Love to come and just relax with great food.
We came here on a Saturday for a late lunch. The lunch rush was finishing up. We were seated promptly on the patio (nice big shaded patio). But it became apparent quickly that the staff was stretched thin. Empty tables on the patio from prior guests still had plates and cups on them waiting to be bussed. Our server was trying to be attentive while managing her other duties, but our order wasn't taken until 15 minutes after being seated. It took another 35-40 minutes before our food was served (we all had burgers). The food was great. The burger was big, tasty, served with crispy fries. I would 100% order it again. Overall, the burger was great, but the speed of service was subpar. The staff was friendly and were working hard, but they needed another 2-3 people working this shift. Midgley's is an older restaurant now, and it shows on their hardcover menus which are quite worn. I would come back here for the food, but not if I needed a quick bite to eat with somewhere to go afterwards.
We went to Midgely's Public House on December 23rd to celebrate our anniversary. The restaurant is located in Lincoln Village in Stockton and the entire area was beautifully decorated for Christmas. I booked a reservation through Open Table and check-in was simple and easy. The lady who checked us in also wished us a Happy Anniversary which was nice! The hostess took us to a table that wasn't clean, but we stood by waiting while she quickly bussed and cleaned it. This was a little strange since the restaurant was empty and there were plenty of booths and tables available. Our server, was great - very attentive and friendly. My husband and I ordered a dozen oysters which were superb, flavorful and good sized. I had a Bailey's coffee and my husband ordered a crisp Savignon Blanc. We shared a French Onion soup (perfection) and each ordered the house ribeye steaks which were nicely done. For dessert, we split a creme brulee which was delicious. We had a great time and will definitely be back. The Happy Hour menu and specials looked pretty good and we're excited to try it!
Can't stop thinking about that chicken bacon ranch wrap with a side of chowder!! I've gotten the chance to stop by a couple times and Everytime I get the same thing because it's so good, I don't want to have anything else. I seriously crave for more a week later I always come specifically for Midgleys but there are so many other things near that make it easy to stop by on the way which is always convenient. Parking is easy with a private lot and the area is nice. I have actually never eaten inside as they have a great outdoor seating area - and when I've gone inside it seems kinda dark. I'm always up for lunch at Midgleys with friends!!
We were looking for dessert and Yelp helped us find this gem. This location has inside and outside seating. Inside was a bit dark but it was fine. We were greeted and seated quickly. We decided to get the ahi nachos for an appetizer. Such a good choice. I've been thinking about them all week honestly. Very tasty. For dessert, we got the banana pudding and mud pie. The mud pie wasn't what I was expecting but it was good either way. Warm brownie under a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The banana pudding was excellent. The grilled bananas gave it such a great flavor. I can't wait to go back.
On March 13, 2025 around 3:30pm, me and my husband stop by to grab a late lunch. We order an SJM Burger and a Cheeseburger and a appetizer which was prime rib, sliders, we were waiting for our order. The appetizer came out really quickly, but our burgers were still on the way, so we waited. My husband was falling asleep by the time it was 5 o'clock that's where we got our burgers mine did not come with caramelize onions. Our food did not feel like it was fresh felt like it was under a warm lamp for a while now. We have been here for a very long time and the food was taking forever (45 mins) to get its kind of ridiculous. I never went to a place where my burgers were gourmet and it took at least 5-10 minutes long not a whole hour. Mind you it wasn't busy at 3pm so I have no idea what's going on? Is it the cooks fault or is it the waiter fault? Our waiter Devin; was okay he was more distracted talking to his table behind us maybe it's the way we were dress like we didn't have money to pay for 2 burgers and a sliders or I maybe wrong but he was chatting it up with them for at least more then 15- 20 minutes. By this time my husband was getting sleepy and just lost his appetite for his food. I lost mines way long ago when I found out we been there for more than an hour for a burger!! Mind you the couple behind us was seated after us and got their food before us. I am very disappointed on the service I got I was one point just getting up and leaving without paying this is ridiculous. If you wanna earn my business you better do better than this. I never rate places I go to a 1 star only if they disappointed me which today is that day. Rating on overall : Food : 2/5 was not fresh for my liking Server: 2/5 his performance was not bad but not great due to the chatting it up and not asking the cooks hey my table is waiting where is their food? I went to Hells Kitchen by Gordon Ramsay and his servers are not chatting it up with others and leaving their other table waiting on food he would fire them for not following his restaurant as expectation . Would I come back I might depends on the changes on what can the manager offer and if they can make it right for me then maybe if not well you might not see me anytime soon.
Pretty decent for the price points (on the pricey side). So I asked for medium rare ribeye and it came more medium but it was still good with the seasonings. Garlic roasted potatoes for the side with plenty of garlic so yum! The grilled asparagus wasn't bad either. The grilled cesar salad was a favorite as it's rare to find! It wasn't the best I've had but definitely good. Service was so friendly and patient with our group. Plenty of parking. Slightly nicer but still casual steakhouse. Inside and outside seating.
Great food and good for dogs. I got the Clam Chowder and it was full of clam pieces. The Chili was awesome too. The server Jen brought water for our dog right away and even brought a bacon treat! Some people say it's expensive, but if you're having steak when is it not expensive? I have to have a steak next time I come. It will be a regular stop in Stockton!
We came to celebrate my husband's birthday with my family. We came in with balloons and everything. The hostess's face was just so unwelcoming. The girl looked pissed off to be working there. I kid you not and when I said hi!how are you?, her response matched her attitude. So much so that on our way out, my mom told her she should change her expression because it's uninviting. Our server was friendly and welcoming however, 2 people in our party were torn between 2 red wines and asked for a sample of both. I was a bit put off when our server told them she'd bring them the 2 to share. What if you don't feel comfortable drinking out of the same cup, regardless if you're related? She ended up bringing both their own samples. So that was good but did leave a bad taste. One person didn't like any of the two reds and wanted a white wine instead but based on how the server replied and seems they're a bit stingy, we didn't bother asking to try a sample and just got a glass of the white instead without trying it. Appetizer: the asparagus wrapped things were not good. They had zero flavor and totally bland. And the sweet chili dipping sauce was just an odd choice. An aioli would've been better. 1/5 stars. My ribeye was delicious (5/5) and cooked how I wanted. Last time I didn't like the potatoes it came with so this time I asked to swap for mashed potatoes. Much better ! A few of us didn't finish our dinner and another server asked if I wanted him to box it for me. I said sure. I opened the box before we left to ensure my steak was in there. All good. I didn't see my mashed potatoes or aspargus and figured they were under the steak. When I got home, no mashed potatoes or asparagus so, that tells me they were tossed. This was quite disappointing. I asked our server if they did anything for birthdays like an ice cream scoop or something. She said they don't and it would be an upcharge but if we wanted to order a dessert, she could put a candle on it. I think something as simple as an ice cream scoop would go a long way for birthdays. Ambiance, the place is nice and I used to think it was a bit upscale being in Lincoln center with prices to match but some of the clientele on this visit changed my perception of this place and felt like I was at the bar at applebees on a Saturday night.
Ok let me say we have been here and tried the holiday menu but this time just the regular menu day!! Ambiance in this place is really nice!!! Great bar area also!!! Service was pretty good!! The guy at the end seemed alil to eager to clean up so we felt alil rushed!! lol but not to bad!! Our waitress took care of us!! Food was excellent!! Calamari was perfect and clam chowder was one of the best I have ever had!! And you know I goto the chowder competitions every year lol!! We also had the New York steaks !! Omg!! Perfectly cooked and served!! We will definitely be back soon so they can get that 5th star from me!! Keep it up!! Check this place out ! I will put picks up!! read more

We've been to Midgley's a few times, but this time service wasn't the best. I think they only had one waitress and bus boy on a Wednesday night. Our waitress came by and dropped off water then we didn't see her again for about 5-10 mins. She came back and took our drink orders and said she would bring bread another 10-15 we got drinks no bread. Finally she came back and took our food orders after we had been already sitting for 45 mins. Honestly I was ready to go to another restaurant in the area because I've never waited this long. Finally our app and dinner came which were good. But the wait overall really deterred me from giving them another try. read more

I would rate this place as just okay. Really more like 2.5 stars. The sweet chili salmon was absolutely drowned in the sauce which overwhelmed the taste of the salmon. The breading on the fish/shrimp and chips was way too heavy. The service was okay. The waitress never mentioned the specials to us even though we overheard her telling other tables. The ambience is cool with smoke inside and outside seating and an overall clean aesthetic. read more

Holy COW!! I know you can get a tomahawk anywhere these days, but I can also tell you that Midgley's Public House has rocked my world!! This place was on my agenda after seeing my college crush post about it.. just like he posted about Bigworm's! The homie came through, haha!! We arrived just before 6 pm, and it was the perfect time, as we were seated immediately upon check-in and before the crowds started rolling in. Located in the Lincoln Center in Stockton, Midgley's is a casual neighborhood establishment that offers everything from burgers, fish and chips, and fries to their fancier offerings like their house 48 Oz. Tomahawk Ribeye, Filet Mignon and Lobster Tail. They also offer a nice assortment of alcoholic beverages to pair with your meal of choice. The staff is great! They will bring you complimentary bread and butter to start off. I'd been following their IG, so we decided to share the scrumptious Tomahawk, knowing full well their portions are HUGE! It was more than enough, and we couldn't even finish it, lol. We each had a good portion of leftovers to take with us. This ribeye was absolutely perfect in every way. It was cooked medium, just as we requested, and the presentation was glorious! They'll even cut it up for you upon request! The drinks were on point, with just the right amount of alcohol. The prices here are amazing, and I'm already sad knowing that they will probably increase by the time I come back. Darn inevitable inflation! =( They also offer specials, so check those out, too. Their happy hour is available from 3 to 6 pm DAILY at the bar and also in the bar patio only. They offer outdoor patio seating for those nice weather days. Inside, they offer a more formal seating set up, and it's great for larger gatherings as well as dat nights. The parking lot that surrounds the Lincoln Center has plenty of spaces, but I can see it getting packed on weekends and holidays. If you ever find yourself in the Stockton area, Midgley's is a MUST! It's also a local family business, so go out and support!! I can't wait for my next visit!! ;P read more

What a FANTASTIC restaurant!!!! Midgley Public House is INCREDIBLE!! We hosted my grandson's wedding party last night and the staff was most accommodating, professional, personable and kind. Our waiter, Devin was quick and attentive, the manager, Jarod was wonderful, Shannon, (the waitress from the night before) was so helpful and pleasant. This is a first rate restaurant especially for hosting large events. Also, the food was delicious, excellent portions and very reasonable considering we had lobster, filet mignon, salad, appetizers, salmon, etc. BRAVO!!!! read more

stopped by during a weekday for a (not so) little girl dinner with my friend. our server was very friendly & attentive. we started off our meal with some cocktails. i got the huckleberry lemon drop, which i highly recommend for those who enjoy something on the sweeter side. i chose the ribeye for my entree, which comes with garlic roasted red potatoes & vegetables. i opted out of the vegetables and got a caesar salad instead, and was surprised by how much it came with. i got my steak cooked medium and was pleased with how it came out. the portions of the entrees themselves were huge and could easily be enough to feed two. my friend and i both ended up taking leftovers home because we were so full. midgley's is definitely on the pricier side, but i'd definitely recommend it if you're in the mood to treat yourself. their tomahawk steak is also delish and worth a try.

Came here for a girls outing. Devin was our server and gave us excellent service being friendly and welcoming. We ordered the oysters for an appetizer which were deliciously fresh with a briny flavor. We also had the crack shrimp, seasoned perfectly with a great crunch over some amazing raw cabbage, it's a must-try for those seeking a pop of flavor. Meanwhile, we shared the fried shrimp and fish which were cooked to golden perfection, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside; the shrimp was my favorite in this dish. The casual atmosphere, friendly service, and quality dishes make Midgley's a perfect spot for a memorable meal. read more
