Food is excellent! Beer is delish! Services is great! I canNOT get their pickled onions off my mind! So delicious! Just love this place! Great date night spot, but great if you gotta bring the kidlets too read more

Love the open outdoor-indoor concept with big garage doors that roll up for great ventilation. Also have patio seating. The service is personable, prompt, and attentive. I have medical restrictions on my diet and the kitchen was understanding and my food came out quickly as ordered. Vegan options including sausage are available and tasty. Looking forward to returning! read more

Oh my word, was that schnitzel the bomb! And that warm Potato salad was the best thing I've had in a long time. Service was great. Atmosphere was a read more

It was a nice evening the night I decided to check out the new "German" restaurant in town. The weather was mild and there was a cool breeze. I sat in the main hall. It's literally a hall with hard concrete floors, hard walls, and a hard ceiling. Sound in this hall does not absorb well at all. It was incredibly loud, also the staff were kind enough to let the door that led to the restroom crash loudly when it closed. This probably happened 15 times. It was really jarring. Did I mention it was loud, because it was. I wanted to find out if the food was worth the obnoxious noise of the dining room. Well, it really wasn't. I order the schnitzel. It is served on pretzel bun, with cole slaw and a fancy mayo. I got the fries as a side. My order came and it was laughable. My fries were 2mm thin wedge cut potatos. Nothing really of note about them aside from being lazily plated. My main course was only edible. My schnitzel tasted as if it were a frozen and then over cooked. It was huge and stuck out of the bun by quite alot. It was only passable when eaten with the cole slaw, due to it being very dried out. I tried it by itself and it really didn't taste good. If someone had told me it was frozen chicken or beef I would have believed them. It really had no discernable taste aside from an over cooked burnt taste. So really nothing really to come back for. I wouldn't recommend this place. The price of admission doesn't reflect what you receive. Unless it changes, spend your money some where else. read more

Hot, new German spot in Lodi! Overall, we had a great experience. We decided to order the pork Schnitzel, kids grilled cheese, and a burger. The burger was just ok, but the schnitzel was definitely a winner! I loved that the buns were like pretzels. My daughter enjoyed her grilled cheese. The beers were good too. The fries that came with my daughters grilled cheese was enough for all us to share. My husband liked the fries probably because they were like chips and thin. I understand that their business is still new so they might working out a few kinks. The server took awhile with our beers and almost forgot my husband's cider. He also said he would bring over some beer cheese, but we never got it. Despite these instances, we would still go back! read more

Saw some buzz about this new place so we decided to check it out. They have a few appetizers, but we had to try the deviled eggs as we use this to measure attention to detail at places. These were really good. Tasted great and were well-constructed -tipped with a little piece of bacon. We ordered the burger and the schnitzel sandwich. The burger is ground in-house from brisket. The grind and texture were perfect. The schnitzel was very flavorful and tender. Many places often serve a very tough smidgen but this one was delightfully tender. Toppings for both were proportional -just the right amount for the meat and bun. Now about the bun. It's a soft pretzel bun that isn't tough and over-salted like other places. It really made the burger and sandwich truly amazing. The side salad was fresh and had stone blue cheese crumbles. The fries were really great. They had and interesting cut -like a cross between French fries and potato chips. They were thin but perfectly cooked. Some places overcook their thin fries but these weren't overcooked to the point of becoming potato chips. They have a great beer selection in draft, bottles and cans. You should definitely check this place out. read more

Don't go here if you want to order and eat. The food that we received was pretty good, but the service was horrible. Only part of our meal came and the table that came in 20 min after us ate before we got our food. German food is limited to pork schnitzel and a Brot. read more

We love coming here for a small bite and a drink. Their pretzels are incredible! Also a great selection of beers.

Food was good even though it wasn't exactly as it was on menu. The Bavarian Pretzel was to die for!! The schnitzel was very good, but the Brat was missing a few condiments. Bartender/waiter should do one or the other, doesn't do both well. Never got ketchup for fries, he never came back to see how dinner was. Had to ask for check. Then it wasn't our check. Never cleared our plates. We will give it another chance but not on a Thursday, and I won't sit on the bar side. read more

This is a great little German tapas style spot. The drinks here are super delicious!! The schnitzel sandwich was crispy and tasty. Deviled eggs are pretty but skippable. Spaetzle was pretty good but a lot of sauce compared with the traditional presentation. Nosh fries are really good- pickled onion and jalapeño on top of a nice béchamel sauce poured over thin, steak cut fries. Family friendly environment with a chalkboard for kiddos to draw while grownups sample the cocktails. Good service at shared tables. Just a fun little spot to spend a Friday night! read more

Drove up to Lodi to try this place & it was so worth it! The pretzel bun burger was so good (chipotle aioli!!) and their fries...I did not want ketchup & I alwaysss want ketchup. Their fries are delicious. Staff is friendly & super chill, place is cute & modern & relaxed. We took a stroll & went to a wine bar after, it's so close to everything else on School St. read more

This place is great! Staff is very friendly and the food is awesome! LOVED the pretzel and schnitzel !! However, I'm totally let down by their beer cheese. It was very underwhelming and it reminded me of the horrible grainy queso at chipotle. read more

West Oak Nosh - German Near Me - Lodi, California

Love love love West Oak Nosh They have a great menu, It may be a little on the small side but I much prefer a small well executed menu then one that is large with few quality dishes. I always get the apple butter burrata as an appetizer but everything I've tried is delicious, the food has excellently balanced flavors. The environment is fun and it's super cute inside. I will say that it can be quite loud when they get busy Friday or Saturday nights in the bar but they also have a separate sitting area They have an awesome selection of beers and wine and some fantastic cocktails. It's me and my husbands new favorite! read more

Used Yelp to find a place to get take out. Decided to try Nosh. Pleasantly pleased with the food and service. Loved the pork schnitzel with potato salad and nosh fries with sausage and beer cheese. Would love to go back when indoor dining is open again. read more

Five stars for the schnitzel sammich! We also tried the spätzel and sausage platter (2 brats and one polish). DEFINITELY get the schnitzel...possibly the very best schnitzel sandwich I've ever had; the pretzel roll and slaw garnish were original and perfect. Included the fries which were also simple, but original and a good complements the schnitzel-pretzel roll sandwich. Wasn't as impressed with the spätzel. It was also very original with bacon, poblano, mustard seed and cheese sauce...had a little toooo much going on and was a bit soupy. I wish I could comment on the beer but alas our waitress forgot to bring my cream ale, sigh. I would definitely come again but likely stick with the schnitzel. read more

Koa was so patient and competent. He provided great hospitality, and was incredibly efficient during the rush hour of farmer's market. Their patio provides adequate shelter from the elements. The food was good, and the alcohol was poppin! 10/10 would recommend. Promote KOA! $$$$$ read more

I'm obsessed with the spetzel and cheese. It's to die for. The Nosh fries are pretty spectacular as well. Hell, pretty much anything on the menu is delicious. The beer selections are off the hook too. This is definitely a favorite of mine and my family. read more

Yay- finally a great German Restaurant in Lodi!! I went here with my 2 girlfriends. The seating is communal which makes it fun. They were really busy but we were attended to right away and the service the whole time was spot on ! The food ! The Nosh fries were yummy as was the deviled eggs. We split the schnitzel sandwich was on this amazing pretzel bread - so soft - the schnitzel was lightly breaded and cooked perfectly. The owners ,Gabe and Melissa both made time out to say hi and thanked us for coming in. They also have a bar with choice beers and wine and cocktails. I will definitely be back. read more

"Stumbled" upon this establishment and we were extremely glad! Koa was attentive, accommodating and his attention to detail was uncanny, (If you don't want to read a quirky story skip this part) So after our delicious Brussel spouts appetizer he noticed my buddy kept his his fork and napkin (he is weird) and I had my napkin. Our wives of course chatted on and kept nothing, so he brought back exactly 3 forks and 2 napkins! Call me crazy but I thought that attention to detail was unheard of! (or lucky) The food was timely and delicious. Will definitely return! Brian read more

Gabe and his team have hit it out of the park with their new restaurant West Oak Nosh. The initial menu is simple but contains some great choices. Numerous types of house made sausage, a Schnitzel sandwich, Nosh Fries (very tasty), deviled eggs and avocado toast to name a few. Beer on tap and a beautiful bar with cocktails, the front doors of the restaurant roll up to let in the evening breeze. Community tables in the main room allow you to meet your friendly Lodi neighbors. A well needed hangout in downtown Lodi. read more

We came in on Sunday about 2ish and it was kind of weird. The kitchen was changing over so we had to wait a few but honestly the food menu was a bit lacking. I am not a fan of sausage/bratwurst so we both ordered a sandwich. I got the burger and my Mom got the pork schnitzel. Her warm potato salad looked like over cooked breakfast potatoes. I have been once now but feel it was overpriced for what we received. Service was just okay too. read more

Just ok not impressed by anything here. Nothing really stands out/nothing I really want to go back for. I've tried the sausages, pork schnitzel sandwich, Mac n cheese, nosh fries. read more

Just not that good...the fries are not hand cut...which is such an easy task. Nice vibe but food kind of a miss.

First time coming here, we had the Nosh Burger and Schnitzel Sandwich with the Red Seal and Belgian White beers and it was delicious. It hit the spot. The atmosphere was great and so was the customer service. Definitely a place to come back to for some drinks or a bite to eat. read more

Food was great. We ordered the pretzel, nosh burgers and Nosh pockets. All was brought out fairly quickly and was super good. Fresh and flavorful. Would recommend. read more

The bar tender is an absolute ROCKSTAR!!! This place has an awesome vibe and fantastic grub. But honestly, the employees are what make this place so much fun. It really says something when you walk in and the bar tender smiles and says she's excited to see some familiar faces. Keep up the good work ladies.. read more

Terrible hostess............. Been back since, I really like this place. Service was very good. Great beer selection, tasty food. Becoming a regular dining place for us read more

Came in just to get a drink tonight although we've come in a few other times for food which was delicious! The Bartender is so sweet!!!! She spent time talking to us and truly made us feel so welcome! Our drinks were great, the restaurant is clean and comfortable. We had a wonderful time and look forward to coming back soon! read more

Delicious! They serve excellent cocktails and creative eats. We had the schnitzel sandwich and the lemon-ricotta pancakes. Delightful!

The food is absolutely delicious!! The schnitzel is so good, and the portions are big. So bring you appetite!

Hands down AMAZING!! The fries are to die for and they have a ton of craft beers. Great food, friendly staff and a really cool vibe. read more

We visited after wine tasing and the food was delicious. This place is worth the visit!

Bringing a Fresh, New Vibe to Lodi!! With some good eats, great service and super cool people runnin' the show! From the moment I pulled up I could feel the positive vibe and knew I was about to have a really great experience for our Mother's Day Celebration. Having lived in the bay and experienced great restaurant vibes in SF, Oakland, etc, I got a feeling that I had possibly taken a wrong turn on 99 and somehow got beamed-up to Hwy 580 in the bay! And the food? Shooooot!! Don't even get me started!! Well, ok...for Starters; we had pretzels, avocado toast, deviled eggs and the Nosh fries!! And ALL OF THEM WERE DELISH!! My fave were the Nosh Fries though. They were hot, thin, just enough crispy and the beer cheese and flavor...out-of-this-world!! You'd think after all those starters we'd be full, and we kinda were...but the food was so amazing we HAD TO order more!! I had the Pork Schnitzel and it was excellent. Never had one before, so didn't know what to expect, but that was part of the FUN of this restaurant! The pork was tender & moist on the inside with an amazing breaded crunchy goodness on the outside. It was served on a pretzel bun (the ONLY menu item not prepared on site) with just the right amount of relish, greens, and German condiments served on top. Everyone in our party thoroughly enjoyed their food choices. I was told repeatedly by my brother and sister-in-love how Excellent their sausages were. (Again, made local on-site!!) And to top it off, our server Jessie was freakin' adorbs!! She was fun, attentive and soooo knowledgeable about all of the food items, as well as the beer recommendations. They've only been open for 3 weeks and I can tell you already, the place is Jumpin!! They will definitely be expanding soon 'cause once word gets out...Watch Out!! Can't wait to go back!! read more

I have been wanting to try this place since it opened, and we were finally able to to do so! And it was sooooo worth the the wait. We stopped by for an appetizer and a beer. Their beer list is great with a large selection. Marcus recommended one to us, Mother Earth's Creamisicle (I believe). Fantastic recommendation! We then decided to split the Nosh-os. I do believe this was the best decision we ever made. They were big enough for us to split and they were LOADED. The flour tortillas chips were so perfectly fried and the toppings were on every single chip. Bacon and beef were delicious, avocado was amazing, the pickled onions were so good, I could have just eaten those by themselves, and every other topping was just so damn good. We can't forget about their Nosh-o cheese and the cilantro jalapeño sauce. Holy moly. I may have a new addiction and it's called West Oak Nosh. read more

This place has never let me down with their amazing food options. The service is really great as well. Chris is a big help when choosing drinks. Definitely satisfied and recommendable. read more

Nosh is a great spot to have a casual meal, a quick bite, or drinks with friends. We had dinner there last night. It was superior. The service was very good, and the food was perfect. We sampled a few different items. The avocado toast, the pretzel, and the sausage were all so great, I had to have a little of each. The selection of beer, ale and ciders offers lots of choices. For dessert we shared a sumptuous bowl of handmade ice cream with fresh local berries . Four of us shared it, and it was a hit. We lingered over our meal, spending much more time just sharing the great food and casual environment. Can't wait to go back and take more friends. read more

Do yourself a favor and check this place out. Amazing food, drinks and staff. We stopped here for a late lunch of appetizers and drinks. Our favorite was the avocado toast and Nosh fries. Bavarian pretzel was delicious as well as the orange and beet salad. We also got the deviled eggs which had too much horseradish for my liking but others in our group loved them. read more
