Great news for northern California, one of best BBQ joints if not thee best bbq joint…read more I first found this place on mother's day, googled best BBQ in northern California and Smoke and Meats appeared. We got the food to go, and let me tell you, I kept coming back, The ribs are perfect the flavor is amazing the brisket was so tender it almost melts in your mouth, 3 kinds of sausages cheese, hot and regular amazing the smoke flavor is prominent in everything you taste. There is aways a line, but the line goes quickly, The ambiance is A BBQ RESTAURANT! calm down the decore is western, the sodas come in a can, this is a BBQ joint, the focus is the food. The neighborhood is very cool, the night we went thay had a farmers market with music going on, busy but parking was safe and near. When you do come, say hello to Jeremy the owner, and give him a congratulations for being voted top 10 BBQ in northern California, he was very happy when i told him, we celebrated together as the room cheered and celebrated with us, hears to you Smoke and Meats Keep the meat hot and a table ready, i will be coming back often

Hubby was so excited when staff asked if he wanted the fatty or lean cut of the brisket…read more.. apparently to him that means they know what they're doing... nonetheless it was DELICIOUS. Perfect smoke, rendered just right. I wasn't a huge fan of the sweet sauce, definitely have a preference for the more vinegar based stuff. The cole slaw was delicious, super crispy and not too sweet thank goodness. We loved it. The mac and cheese was definitely cheddar cheesy, it was super rich so we didn't finish it but it was good. The jalapeño cheddar sausage was made in house and amazing, we loved the bite of the casing. We also ordered a banana cream pie cup and the vanilla wafers were really soggy, but the pudding consistency was great. Staff were super friendly, food was great, and it was packed inside, definitely can see why this is a local favorite with such high reviews.

The atmosphere here is a nice family friendly establishment. There is a bar but it is nicely placed…read moreto the side. Plenty of seating. The parking could be a lot could be bigger but I guess we went on a busy day. It was a Sunday. Every screen had the World Cup on and that was nice but with the noise we couldn't hear it. Now, for the food. I ordered a jr burger meal and a personal combo pizza. It came out to $30 and some change. The burger tasted like a kids Super Star Burger. If you've ever eaten there they are a 4 on a scale of 10. It was ok. The combo pizza kind of reminded me of a hand tossed Dominos pizza but maybe a little softer dough. I'd give it a 5 out of 10. I like that Michael's or David's style pizza. This one is ok. There are a lot of other things on the menu and the pricing is a little high. My husband also bought a beer for $6. He isn't used to 2026 prices. He's an old timer and misses the 1990's pricing. I mean who doesn't?! They do have points you can earn but not really sure what that would go towards. The games for kids was ok. The old school pool tables are still there. Bring quarters. It cost $1.50 to play. Overall it seems like a nice place to visit at least once. Give it a try. There might be something I missed that someone else might like.

Finally made it to the Graduate. I was glad to see for the most part it is unchanged although they…read morecould've remodeled those bathrooms. I am grateful that they ripped out that ancient carpet though! I was also happy to see the ribeye steak sandwich was still on the menu which is exactly what we all ordered. It was very good although I prefer the old way of putting the condiments on yourself. I ended up taking the warm lettuce off my sandwich. Next time I'll order it without. French fries and onion rings were also delicious. Just like before you order at the counter and pick your food up. Staff that night was very friendly and courteous. They still have plenty of seating, a full bar, a handful of games and a couple of pool tables. If you were a fan of the former establishment, you'll be a fan of The Graduate 2.0!

Nicky's is perfect. As a former Philly resident I appreciate the nods throughout the menu…read more I stopped in today for a comfort sandwich and The Fancy didn't disappoint. The (house-made? You shouldn't have!) mozzarella really made the sandwich, the cutlet was crispy and delicious and there was just the right amount of prosciutto. I cannot wait to go back- next time will ask for crispy prosciutto and spicy peppers. So good. 10/10, no notes.

I was excited to try Nicky's Italian after seeing it online, but unfortunately my experience was…read morevery disappointing. We waited over 20 minutes for two cold sandwiches despite the restaurant being nearly empty. When the food finally arrived, the sandwiches were cold, bland, and lacked flavor. Considering the prices, I expected much better quality and freshness. What concerns me even more is the way the owner responds to negative reviews. Instead of taking customer feedback as an opportunity to improve, many of the responses come across as defensive, dismissive, and disrespectful. Reading those interactions makes it seem like customer concerns are not taken seriously. I don't mind paying premium prices when the food and service justify it, but neither did in this case. Based on my experience, I won't be returning.

Great! Was pretty much what I expected from a boba and sushi place. Neither of which were their…read morespecialty, but they did well on both. Very clean and fresh aesthetic, which was refreshing for Stockton. Reminded me more of a Bay Area restaurant. I would come here again for the sushi. The boba is a fun addition, but if I wanted just boba I would go elsewhere.

Can't speak to the sushi here (yet), but the drinks are really good! I'm a sucker for a good mango…read moresweet treat, especially mango sago, and their Sago Sunshine hit the spot. The fresh mango pieces were refreshing, the sago pearls added great texture, and the honey boba I opted to add was perfectly soft and chewy. My sister tried their Strawberry Creme Brulee drink which we were also impressed by. Prices were standard for boba drinks these days. No complaints about the service. The inside was a super cute aesthetic too. A strong addition to the growing boba scene in Stockton!

Yall ever go here? Money, cheep burgers!…read more$29 for 4 burgers, 4 fries, 4 drinks!!! This is a Burger joint! Crinkle cut fries are appropriate! Soft serve, of course! Service is just a tad slow, but all good. Family business and they are all friendly. Don't blow up the spot! IYKYK. Menu is incredibly large and diverse. Next to Jimmie's, so if your family doesn't like sushi, you can stop here and please everyone. Check them out.

Saw good reviews on Yelp and decided to try it. Ordered the bacon double burger combo to go…read more Burger was decent, fries were okay. They have dine-in and outdoor seating available, and prices are good. It's a little hole-in-the-wall kind of place. Not bad overall I'll come back when I'm in the area.

Stopped by Fondita after a recommendation from my cousin and he delivered! Let's get into it…read more.. Ambiance - Fondita is a smallish restaurant, but can still cater to groups big or small. The maximum occupancy is 49 people, but it felt roomier inside than that. The decor is okay and the place seemed clean overall. Service - Service was pretty good. Our server was very friendly, and service wasn't bad. The only blemish was she did not check in on refills very frequently. I managed to get one, but my wife did not. By the time she asked again, we had finished our meal and were ready to go. A pretty small blemish, and not a dealbreaker for us. Food - The food was outstanding. My wife got the fajitas and they looked great! She loved them. I got the alambres and they were fantastic. Add in the homemade tortillas (both flour and corn) and it's an easy five stars! Their rice, beans, and salsa were all good too. No complaints at all with the food. Overall, I'd definitely come back again. The food was great, the people were super friendly and welcoming, and we were able to get a table right away. It's very close to the freeway, so when coming from out of town it's an easy on/off too. Great spot!

WOW!! This hole-in-the-wall restaurant in the old Big Lots parking lot just became my favorite…read moreMexican restaurant in town! We came here on a whim last weekend, and OMG, I'm so glad we did. The restaurant is small and not in the greatest location, but the food was absolutely delicious and the service was excellent. I can't wait to go back! The tortilla chips are a mix of corn and flour, which was a nice surprise. Literally everything we ordered was so good! I went with the build-your-own combo plate and chose a cheese enchilada, beef taco, and beef flautas. My entire plate was delicious, including the rice and beans. The homemade tortillas were so fresh and tasty. Everyone in our party of four enjoyed their food. We split the three-piece quesabirria tacos, and they were excellent. I chose the gravy cheese enchilada for my combo plate, but I also tried my partner's green chili chicken enchilada--both were great. You can choose between red, green, or gravy sauce for the enchiladas, and I definitely want to try the red next time. Don't be turned off by the unassuming storefront and corner location. This place is serving up some seriously delicious food, and it's absolutely worth the visit!

Dumpling U feels like a modernization of an old school mom and pops Chinese restaurant. Perhaps the…read moretarget audience is more younger college folk? Non-Chinese folk? Unfortunately, I'm neither? The food was off. The flavors missed significantly. The beef rolls rely too much on oyster sauce and lacked balance. The sheng jian bao had raw dough on top, wasn't fried well on the bottom, and the "soup" inside was artificially flavored and lacked richness and depth. The Shanghai noodles were udon based? I've never experienced this before. The chili oil wanton were watered down where the chili oil couldn't stick to the wanton, which meant a lack of care to detail. The green pancake was fine. Overall, if you're looking for quality and great authentic tasting and actual quality Chinese food, Dumpling U isn't it. The service was 4-stars. Very nice.
