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

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

This is absolutely my FAVORITE lunch spot! I've only dined here a couple times but everytime I have gotten their salmon caeser salad and WOW it is yummm! Possibly next time I'll venture out a little more but these salads are just a HIT! Scrumptious! The service is lovely!! The hostess's are so sweet as well as the servers! Very polite courteous and their nails are always cute! So I'm always telling them! Absolutely love the service here!! This restaurant is definitely a little more upscale I would say, especially around dinner time. But I do like getting dressed up for lunch as well! At night it's more of a quiet intimate setting as well so keep that in mind. I will absolutely be returning not only for their wonderful salads but possibly more things! read more

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! read more

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!! read more

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. read more

No, service was not good at all. We waited an hour for our food and the wsitress was added alcohol beverages to our tap and we don't even drink. We finally walked out, after not getting our food. read more

Waited for 35 minutes, nobody came to take our order. It wasn't busy, it was on the slower side. Table in front of us had the server come to their table over five times. Poor service and not an attractive atmosphere (it feels like a dive bar), and exorbitant prices ($40 for a ny steak). I never know if the food compensates for the prices and atmosphere because ill never be back at Midgleys. Thank you midgleys for ruining my dad's father's day dinner! read more

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. read more

Their steak is always amazing - all the sides as well. My most memorable visit, was a few Valentine's ago when my husband and I shared a massive tomahawk steak - the meat was flavorful, perfectly tender and I loved the seared cap. This is an upscale restaurant. The outdoor seating area has a lovely scenery and are equipped with outdoor heaters if you choose to sit outside. Service is always on point. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

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! read more

The ambiance is good here. The wait staff was friendly and attentive. The food was good but I had honestly expected more after hearing others experiences. Dont get me wrong...it was good but for the prices I had hoped for more entree options and that the flavor would be a little bit better. But overall we had a good experience here read more

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. read more

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. read more

Imagine going to an establishment with like 5 drink choices and TV's the size of their steaks i guess lol. Slow service. Very very insecure bartending from Jared. Got excited when my team had a big score on the SMALL SCREEN and bartender Jared asked me to "quiet down" lol. Don't go here really ever. But especially not for sports. Probably have a better chain restaurant in waiting for this property. Hopefully happens quicker than not because of bartender Jared and his insecurity. I guess one star lmao. 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

I've always wanted to go to Midgley's , heard so much about it. Got my chance a few weeks ago- went to lunch there with one of my friends - who had dined there before. It was a Friday, I ordered clam chowder -New England style and Fish and chips . My order arrived, the clam chowder did not look right- the color looked like grey dishwater, I tasted it-not good ! So thick and lumpy , almost like it could be cut with a KNIFE. Took two bites - that was it. The Fish and Chips - weren't CHIPS , it was a while fish the size of a rainbow trout or a whole salmon- encased - in a thick fried batter. I chopped away the batter to get to the actual fish , probably cod - nothing memorable about it, nothing bad -eaten to satisfy hunger pains. The chips - lots and lots , like huge super serving - and nondescript. Besides the fish , removed from the batter shell and a few of the chips, I hardly ate any of this order. And, to add to the bad experience, the check almost totaled $40. with tip, for a meal of just a few bites, The service- the first waitress did'n't act like that was her regular job, definitely not a professional - she wasn't rude -just not really into it. The second waitress was excellent. Lastly , the ambiance - rather loud, so as to be distracting. Yes, I know it's a pub , but we weren't at the bar, we were seated in booths. Dark and a bit shabby overall, bathroom especially. I would not dine there again. read more

The food quality did not match the prices. The ahi poke nachos had way too much sauce--so much that it felt like it was covering up a fishy smell rather than enhancing the dish. I've had better steak at places like BJ's, Outback, and Texas Roadhouse for a lower price. The vegetables were also better elsewhere. The mashed potatoes were watery and didn't taste like they were made from fresh potatoes--they came off as powdered, or at least very low quality. Garlic fries were decent. Chicken wings were okay. Sweet potatoes were nothing special--you can get the same quality elsewhere, even from a chef store. For fish and chips, I'd recommend going to a place that specializes in it if that's what you're craving. Same with burgers--better to go to a dedicated burger restaurant. Customer service was good and the location is nice, but unfortunately the food was disappointing, which is the main reason I came here. read more

The service is awesome when you come into the bar ask for Ashley she is the best bartender I have known! She will always give you suggestions on drinks and remember your drink. The food is awesome the rib eye steak was delicious and so was the garlic mashed potatoes! The crème brûlée was delicious smooth and nice ratio of crunch and creaminess. Layer chocolate cake is rich and delicious.. The setting is great for friends and families and comfort read more

We hadn't been to Midgley's since the management/ownership change a while back. We had had poor service experiences here before. We thought we'd give it a new chance, had high hopes , and were looking forward to dinner on Friday. New management, same poor hospitality. We won't ever be back. Made reservations 3 weeks in advance through Open Table. Stated that this was a date night and that we had a show to see after dinner. Arrived at 5:15pm for our 5:30 reservation. As I opened the door for my wife to enter the restaurant, a female employee came barreling out of the door with a plate of food in her hand, without saying a word. My wife had to jump out of the way to avoid being run into. As I approached the hostess station, the same employee came running back through - between me and the hostess station, again without a word. We thought, maybe she'll apologize for her rude behavior. Nope. No acknowledgment of our physical presence, no apology, no "excuse me", no "I'm sorry" - nothing. As I turned back to the hostess station, I overheard the hostess speak to another couple saying, "I know that you said that you'd prefer a table away from the door but this is the only table that I have available . . " (As she motioned toward the booth facing the front door, which is also next to the kitchen door). The other couple said that they'd wait. I assumed that that table was open for walk-ins. I confidently approached the hostess and stated that we had reservations for 5:30. The hostess then motioned to the same table that the couple before us had rejected, and said, "This is all that I have available. Will that be ok?" I said, "No, it's not ok. How long for a better table?" "40 minutes at least. Will that be ok?" "No, it's not ok. We have dinner reservations for a special occasion, and a show time to make downtown. We'll take our business elsewhere, where it will be appreciated." We went to another restaurant, spent a ton of money on our meal, and tipped excessively - because we can afford to, and because they were polite, professional, hospitable, and deserved it. 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

I want to share my experience at Midgley's . I got to meet the new owner Shannon and she was very inviting . She wanted to make sure service was going well. I got the tomahawk steak and it was so tender and melts in your mouth . They have really good lunch specials too. The portions are huge and their soups are so good ! It has a good sports bar kind of vibe with lots of outdoor seating as well. Thank you for a good meal. read more

We had a date night they put us by a group of people maybe having a company Christmas party one woman was overly loud and another woman fell off her chair. We ordered our appetizers they came out with our dinner so we couldn't enjoy them at all. The vegetables with our dinner was cold. I used to love going there but I don't think we will be going back. The waitress was awesome! She mentioned that the appetizers were supposed to be expedited but not the dinner I loved she was honest. read more

Had a reservation @ 6pm for Father's Day today & we were seated quickly. Now first off we have been coming here for years & today was very disappointing. We ordered @ 6:30pm. We asked for an update on our food. Another family came & food ordered & finished while we were still waiting. I went up to the stand & I asked a different server. She informed me only 4 out of the 5 entrees were ordered but never placed. There was also alcohol drinks that were on our tab that we didn't order. Our waitress had us waiting an hour & left the restaurant with "supposedly a family emergency." Another family was waiting to while the other servers were working their but off. ​ We had enough of our waitress behavior & we left right after she left. Thank you Kailee I believe her name is. She was sweet & helpful. I will not be coming back for awhile. This has been a favorite spot for us. I honestly can't believe this happened. Our server honestly seemed like she was on something or drunk. read more

After sitting there for 20 plus minutes I finally decided to walk out. Then they said sorry for the wait but not one time did they come to the table and say I'll be right with you.

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
