    Filipino Style Beef Stew- Caldereta
    Del S.

    Yesterday we were able to go to Monday Night Dinner at Randy's. It's been one of our go-to breakfast spots. Randy and all the staff are so genuinely nice and very accommodating. We love everything we have tried here. On Monday evenings, they do different cuisine with a special menu. You can find the restaurant on social media platforms (I use Facebook) as well as their website. He puts updates on upcoming menus. Last night was filipino cuisine. Everything we had was delicious. I'm very selective on what I normally order, and we brought friends that loved it as much as we did. Randy has also catered party trays that I've used for my business lunches and everyone has given positive feedback that they love the food from there. They will book private events at the restaurant, and together you can design a menu for your event. I am planning on reserving for early next year, but it's a cute place to host a dinner. We will return in the not too distant future

    Breakfast favorite. Chicken Fried Steak & Egg, over-easy, country potatoes and gravy. Very good! A must order.

    This is a great place for food, come hungry, everything is good. Great breakfast, brunch. Very hearty and comfort foods. Coffee is good and hot. I heard the waiter say Chicken adobo and Fried rice. I'll have to try this next time.

    Just got home from a great German dinner at Randys Bistro. My parrot, Buddy is enjoying some of my leftovers for dinner. If you haven't tried Randys Bistro, you should. I have never had anything there that I don't like. You can order off of the menu or try their specials. These change and do not disappoint.

    Strawberry Waffle Breakfast Brunch

    An awesome spot to grab brunch. Cozy diner vibes! The staff was so friendly and made us feel right at home. Their service was so top notch that I almost drank 3 cups of coffee accidentally because they made sure my cup was always filled! Both dishes we got were phenomenal. I got a chicken fried steak, this dish was so comforting, and so delicious with the gravy on top. We also got a waffle to share for the table and it also came with a side of Berry compote that was delectable. We will definitely be back!

    Great Bloody Mary but small portions and I've never been somewhere where some kind of toast didn't come with the breakfast. Pricey as well. Cute establishment and service was good.

    Belgian Waffle Breakfast Brunch

    We were a little skeptical of the reviews but this place was truly phenomenal. My fiancé and I just moved to Lodi and were exploring new food places. This food was incredible. My fiancé got the Lobster Ravioli and I got the Belgian Waffle with fresh strawberries added. Our server let us know that the drinks we ordered (Brown Sugar Lemonade and Orange Juice) were made to order. And he was so kind. It was all so delicious and fresh and perfect. We will be coming back!!!

    Nice little neighborhood bistro. I taken the family here a few times for breakfast. The Food is always good and tasty. Try the Belgium waffle!! Yummy. Hollandaise was also pretty good and prepared from scratch. Only complaint is like every-one their getting a bit pricey!! Nice time was had by all. Thanks Randy's

    Strawberry waffle

    The food was really good, I ordered the strawberry waffle and it was so delicious! Good portions too. Our server was nice and friendly with our kids which is always a plus. The tables and whole place was clean! Tables were decorated with red roses and a light which makes the place cozy.

    Smoked Salmon Benedict

    My mom, sister, and I ate here for the first time and everything was amazing! Definitely the best breakfast we've had in a loooooong time. The Benedicts (my sister had the smoked salmon and I had the crab cakes) and the tri tip scrambled breakfast were all so flavorful & the French toast *chef's kiss* was delicious. Friendly staff, cozy vibe, and food made with real care. We will definitely be back

    My first time here. The inside was really cute. We had the coffee and they had half and half, vanilla, and hazelnut creamer. My kids ordered the hot chocolate. We all enjoyed our food. One pancake may of been a little overcooked but still yummy. Their service and staff were very attentive and friendly. They also had some Filipino options that I want them try next time. Overall I had a great experience and will be coming back.

    Food was great we came for breakfast did not disappoint as u can see cleared the whole plate

    Pork Lumpia was delicious

    This restaurant is great! The owner is so personable & checks in with every table. He offers a variety of dishes from different countries. And everyone Monday he has a special menu. 10 out of 10. Make sure you try it out.

    Saturday, February 28th, 2026 4:14 PM…read moreServer: Eduardo OVERVIEW: My first visit ever to a Black Bear Diner. Personally, I don't like big, corporate-backed venues like Denny's & IHOP, but since this place in Lodi got good reviews, I thought I would give it a try. But again, since it was a big-name restaurant, my expectations were low. PROS: - First off, excellent service, a well staffed kitchen & dining area. Dining area atmosphere very warm as well, with lots of families enjoying their meals. - Our waiter was Eduardo. A very attentive guy, who brought out our meals less than 10 minutes from time of order. GIVE THIS GUY A RAISE! - Did the, "Build your own Breakfast" with steak, eggs & pancakes. The pancakes were excellent... golden brown, not burnt, and large & fluffy. These guys know how to make classic pancakes !!! - Ordered orange juice. IT WAS DELICIOUS. I was expecting some watery, sugary juice substitute, but this was REAL ORANGE JUICE. (Minute Maid) CONS: - The steak was quiet, "Meh". Sure, it just a standard portion of a, "Build your own B'fast" meal, but the steak itself was so unimpressive, like it came from one of those microwave steaks at Walmart. - I understand that eggs are expensive nowadays, but I ordered three (3) eggs, but they were so small, that it felt like eating just two eggs. CONCLUSION: Great restaurant with great vibes. Just wish that the steak & eggs portion of my breakfast were bigger. The pancake portion was just fine. Will go there again and give them the chance to earn five stars from me.

    We were hungry and couldn't decide what to eat, so we stopped by Black Bear Diner since they have…read moresuch an expansive menu. It was early afternoon and not busy at all, so we were seated right away. I ordered the Chicken Caesar Melt with a side of fruit, while my husband went with the tri-tip dip and fries. The Chicken Caesar Melt came with grilled chicken breast, Caesar dressing, lettuce, tomato, and Swiss and jack cheeses on sourdough bread grilled with a Parmesan crust. It was delicious--I especially loved the crispy cheese crust. That said, for a Black Bear portion, the chicken was a bit skimpy, and I would've liked just a little more meat. My husband enjoyed his tri-tip dip, which featured seasoned tri-tip on a grilled ciabatta roll served with au jus. The restaurant was pretty quiet during our visit, though we've been here during busier times when it can get quite loud, especially with the dinner crowd. The restaurant is kid-friendly and offers plenty of booth seating, which I prefer over chairs. Customer service can be hit or miss--sometimes we have excellent waitstaff who check in regularly and keep drinks refilled, and other times they disappear once the food is served. Unfortunately, this visit fell into the latter category, as our waitress didn't return until we were ready to pay. Overall, the food is good, there's plenty of seating inside, and a large parking lot outside. It's a solid option for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

We made a brunch reservation for 11:30am, though we ended up ordering off the regular menu rather than brunch. That was the first odd note of the afternoon. Before the appetizers, they brought out focaccia with herbed butter, a nice alternative to the standard bread basket. The calamari appetizer with marinara and tartar sauce was fine, nothing memorable. My mom's eggplant parmesan arrived warm but not hot and cooled down quickly. The pizzas, a Funghi and a Margherita, were cooked well in the stone oven and were genuinely the best thing on the table, but they arrived warm and cooled down quickly, the same issue as my mom's eggplant parmesan. With the air conditioning blowing directly overhead, hot food didn't really stand a chance. The service is where things unraveled. When we were first seated, the manager came by and helped with my dad's walker, which was a nice touch. After that it went downhill. When my dad asked for something light, the waiter recommended the carbonara, a dish built on guanciale, grana, egg, and black pepper. That's not light by any definition. It's a basic gap in menu knowledge that does the guest a disservice. The menu also had salmon, ricotta toast, and eggs in purgatory. My dad also asked for red pepper flakes to go with his pizza and they took unusually long to arrive, so he had to flag down a different waiter to get them. The waiter noticed I was drinking my Bloody Mary slowly and offered a different version that actually tasted better. If there's a preferred version, lead with it. When I made eye contact to signal we were ready to pay, he acknowledged it but continued socializing with a coworker before finally coming over and taking my card, as if he was surprised we wanted to pay. When a customer is ready, they're ready. He took my card, asked if we wanted dessert, went to grab the dessert menu, then handed it back. Just hold onto the card. I'm paying with the same card regardless. Handing it back makes no sense. The restaurant itself is beautiful and spacious, with a full bar, outdoor seating, a small store at the entrance, and a vegetable garden out front. It's a great setting. Dinner service might be a different experience, but on this visit the dining room wasn't particularly full, which made it more noticeable that the staff prioritized socializing over the guests in front of them. For the record, the suggested tip on the receipt started at 18%. On the way out, two hostesses stood by and did nothing while my parents, one of whom was on a walker, made their way to the door on their own. Getting the door is common courtesy for the elderly. Pietro's has the ingredients of a great restaurant. The space is beautiful, the stone oven pizza is genuinely good, and the brunch menu has real potential. But a restaurant is only as good as its execution, and right now the service and the food temperatures are letting the kitchen down. They just need to meet it.

Bad: Their "Kobe" burger was $29 or so and was a good portion size. The problem? Lacking any kind of flavor or seasoning. The beef was flavorless. The stroganoff was a good portion size but again it was severely lacking in the seasoning department. Good: Those who ordered the corn soup and the porcini mushroom ravioli enjoyed them. They especially enjoyed the sauce from the ravioli. The desserts overall were enjoyed by the table. The sticky toffee pudding, while not as rich as we are used to, was still relatively good; soft and moist enough. The dark chocolate oblong with mango passion fruit was enjoyed by everyone too. The interior remains unchanged; like a classy London gastropub. Service: communication is key. Where they dropped the ball was that we mentioned on the reservation that we were there for Father's Day and prime rib, which they do on Sundays. As you walk in you even see the sign for the prime rib special. We sat down and the server mentioned that there was no prime rib this weekend. I had even chatted with them on the reservation app and they made no mention of this. We could have gone somewhere else had we known in advanced. Our server was relatively nice too.

We've been wanting to try this spot for a while, and since their other location is closed in Sacramento on Tuesdays, we finally made the trip to Lodi and wow, it was absolutely worth it the wait and Abdul that helped us was cool. He had a good sense of humor. We were coming back from Monterey and all of us were hungry. We ordered quite a feast: (3) chicken tikka wraps without lettuce 8 piece chicken tikka 8 piece chicken malai 6 regular naans + 1 garlic naan Tandoori fish order Tandoori chicken pizza Chicken tikka masala rice plate Every single item was flavorful, mouth watering, and cooked perfectly. The chicken tikka and malai were tender and packed with flavor. The naans were soft and fresh, and the chicken tikka masala rice plate had that rich, comforting sauce that was creamy smooth you can't stop eating and dipping your naan into. The tandoori fish was a standout smoky, well seasoned, and tender. They give a lot of meat inside the wraps. The tandoori chicken pizza... let's just say we couldn't even wait to get home. We ate a slice in the car because the smell alone was too tempting. That's how good it was. We took everything to go, the quality was top tier! You can tell they care about their food and flavors and wanting their customers happy. Abdul kept letting us know the status of our order and took care of us with chutney and ranch. If you've been thinking about trying Smokey Grill, don't wait.... this place delivers on every level! Ask for Abdul, he is down to earth nice guy. 5 stars!! Thanks Abdul!! Photos are attached
