    The old-school atmosphere
    Christopher B.

    Saturday, January 24th, 2026 at approx. 4:30 PM Waitress: Liliana (Lily) OVERVIEW: Was on the way back to Stockton from Jackson and wanted some old-school steak & eggs from an old-school diner. Will probably come again someday, but not in any rush to do so. PROS: - Nice old-school diner atmosphere, with old-school menu choices & lots of old-school customers. - Excellent parking - Unlike other corporate-backed diners with high overheads, this venue is adequately staffed to keep the flow of business moving. - Friendly staff & clean bathrooms CONS: - Paper plates & plastic forks? RU Kidding? Lily said that their washing machine was broken, thus the paper & plastic. But having my meal served in this manner really ruined the general vibe of my dinner. - The portions were good. But the flavor was just OK. It felt like the general food experience didn't match the level of the nostalgic atmosphere of the interior. SUMMARY: If you want to enjoy the old Americana dining atmosphere, (something that is disappearing in this age of inflation) this place is definitely a nugget. Just don't expect 5 Star quality food.

    We had great service at Richmaid restaurant. We had a large party (there were 10 of us) and our server Lily was very attentive and helpful. The restaurant's ambiance is old school diner, which makes sense because I heard they've been open since the 1930's! They have a diner area and then an additional room where we sat, and it would be a great place for a larger get together. Plenty of parking and lots of menu options. The reason for my two star rating was the food...I'd heard great things and had pretty high expectations, but the food didn't live up to the hype. I chose the pot roast, which in hindsight may have been a bad decision. The menu says it's "available until it's gone for the day", so I expected a homemade pot roast. I'm 99.9% certain it was actually beef from a can. Speaking of cans, also pretty sure the gravy was from a can too. Everything was very, very salty. I paid an extra $3 to have one of my sides be onion rings, but they were very soggy and the flavor was just off. With their dinners, you get a soup or salad, your entree with choice of two sides, and ice cream for dessert. The salad was iceberg lettuce, carrots, and beets with ranch and honestly, it was the best thing I ate. Maybe it was an off day in the kitchen, maybe I chose the wrong menu item...either way, it was really bad. I am however thankful for the good service!

    We dined in for breakfast while we were in Lodi. This long standing locally owned family diner started as a creamery in the 1930's and all these years later is this family run diner. It was cool to visit and dine in a piece of Lodi's history. The diner judging from the photos on the counter hasn't changed over the years. We were greeted as we entered and seated promptly in a corner booth and given our coffees and a moment to look over their menu. They had something for everyone. We ordered their chicken and waffles and a ham steak with scrambled eggs and country potatoes. Both were delicious and we had leftovers. Their prices to portion ratio were just right and service was spot on! We would definitely return the next time we're in Lodi.

    Richmaid Restaurant is a hidden gem! The fried chicken was incredibly juicy and flavorful! Definitely not dry at all. We ordered the chicken and waffles plus a side of biscuits and gravy, and everything was so delicious. You can really taste the love in the food. The staff is super friendly and welcoming, and it's a family-owned business! Highly recommend supporting them and enjoying some amazing food!

    It's all so good Chicken and waffles I've been coming back here for years It just gets better Service is a village effect Taken care of by all ! You gotta love the vibe in this place Music, laughter amongst all the staff Having a good time serving

    Loved this photo they have in the restaurant - brought back memories!

    My grandparents lived in Lodi when I was a child - I was actually born there, and I remember Richmaid ice cream! 72 year later, I was with my son & saw that there is a Richmaid Restaurant, so had to check it out! It's such a cute place with that 50's vibe. The service was great and the food was delicious! We had lunch & I had the Beer Battered Cod from the senior menu, which was delicious. The portions were HUGE and came with soup or salad, another side (I had coleslaw) and ICE CREAM! A super bargain for under $20! Everything on the menu looked so good, that we got some broasted chicken to take home. I also took home a slice of peach pie. This is the kind of food I remember from my childhood and is the best of everything! So many calories, but amazingly delicious! I'll definitely return for another round!

    Fried chicken, mashed potatoes and vegetables.

    The chicken was amazing! Service was good, our server was nice she took the time to answer questions about the chicken. I love the decor!

    Food was delicious. Maybe some of the best chicken and waffles I've had. Big portion and well priced. Staff is so friendly.

    This is one of the old reliable breakfast places for me and my wife and happy to say it's still a classic but with a slight increase to prices. We both got our usual spreads and everything still hits the spot. Fast and friendly service as always with the ambiance to match.

    Fish n Chips to go

    I give Richmaid three out of five stars. The food for the most part is pretty good. But I redact two stars because of some things that bother me and are a bit of a hassle. Every time I make a to go order, I have to ask for them to lay the paper down in the styrofoam clamshell, but if I don't ask them, they don't put it down. See my photo of the fish and chips. Deep fried food straight out of the fryer and onto the styrofoam. Fish with a side of burnt petrochemicals. Yum. It's been like this with every dish I've ordered. The paper that they do use, has print on it advertising their broasters chicken. The problem here is that the print transfers onto the food. Nothing like a full color broasters logo on your fish. If you go for the fresh fruit as a side, you will get a small cup of that typical medley of melon and grapes, but they're not fresh. The juice is drained out and has pooled at the bottom of the cup. And you've all had old melon. The side of fresh veggies are a mix of veggies that may vary from day to day, but they cook them with onions instead of butter, which doesn't really go with the flavor profile of the veggies to me. I just want a healthy alternative to french fries. That's what every restaurant gives you as a side. Other than that they do seem to be good at getting your order right for the most part, and they are quite friendly.

    Ask the Community - Richmaid Restaurant

    Do they offer vegan options?

    Very doubtful. I don't think they have vegetarian options.

    We make an annual stop there because they have good liver and onions. BUT, last year the portion was very small. Has that changed?

    Less is the new Richmaid.

We were seated quickly and served waters right away. My husband ordered the fish and chips, while I went with the jalapeño chicken sandwich. The sandwich came with a grilled chicken breast, lettuce, tomato, pepper jack cheese, crispy fried onions, and jalapeño dressing on grilled ciabatta bread. I also upgraded my fries to their Bleu fries (topped with bleu cheese crumbles and bleu cheese dressing). The fries were definitely a highlight--served hot, crispy, and perfectly paired with the bleu cheese. My husband was really impressed with the fish and chips, which he hadn't tried here before. The fish was beer-battered and fried, served with fries and coleslaw. He especially liked the coleslaw, noting that it tasted fresh with great flavor and wasn't overly coated in mayo. Overall, we really enjoyed our meal and the experience. Looking forward to coming back again soon.

If the food were nearly as appetizing as the servers work ethic I may consider returning. Ambiance was lovely.

It's contemporary and the furnishings are quite comfortable. It's the type of place you can settle in and have a casual meal without feeling rushed. Prices are high yet the quality is excellent. For the first evening at the bar we settled into a high top table. You can sit at the bar, lounge type seating or outdoors on a pleasantly shaded patio. They had an expanded bar bites menu as the main restaurant is closed on Wednesdays... most of it quite enticing. We opted for cocktails to start and I chose a specialty Date Maple Old Fashioned. It was really good with a large ice ball to chill it. For bar bites we shared the pork belly sandwiches (small, delicious but messy to eat), the sausage skewers (amazing!) and crab cups (refreshingly light and easy to eat). After cocktails we had glasses of a light white wine, made with Santorini Greek grapes. For the next meal in the dining room the place was a buzz with activity but conversation was easy without a lot of excessive noise. It's intimate and the room is quite pleasant for a gourmet meal. We started with cocktails (same Old Fashioned) and shared the grilled Brussels Sprouts which were plentiful and ever so delicious. They were slightly over grilled for my taste yet it didn't distract from me enjoying them. We got bread which was a baguette with butter and the consistency perfect for a French style loaf. For my entree I debated between the scallops and the pork chop and went with the chop. I was quite pleased as the chop came in thick slices and drizzled with a tarragon mustard reduction sauce. It was amazing, tender, juicy and at 22oz I couldn't finish it all. It came with a tasty apple sauce and grilled seared cabbage. Absolutely delicious. Ed, celebrating a birthday, had steak which came with a huge bowl of mashed potatoes which I tasted. Oh my gosh, the creamiest potatoes ever!
