It was also the first time my wife went with me to try the food. The food is great and she really liked it a lot. But we had a small incident. She is lactose intolerant, and we realized a little late that she didn't have her pill. As I raced to the counter, at the same time the food was coming out. This is a moment I wish I could give the place a 6th star. The lady bringing the food out was very understanding and kind. They remade the burger with no cheese. I'd recommend it for the food, but I recommend it more for the staff. They are all extremely courteous and helpful. Go for the good food and the hospitality. It is well worth the trip!

Almost a year ago, we purchased an A & W gift basket at an AAUW fundraiser to raise money for…read morescholarships for local young ladies. We noticed there were two gift cards for what appears to be the last franchise of this long storied company in our area. Driving to Lodi, the birthplace of great root beer and most satisfactory burgers, we were not disappointed. After parking and entering, we noticed how clean the parking lot was, as was the store. (Including the bathrooms). The staff helped us to redeem our prizes and we were seated among LOTS of cool A & W memorabilia from times past. While ordering they even asked us if we wanted the onions raw or cooked. The food came out promptly, with a smile and completely on point. The root beer was as good as I have ever had, the burgers delicious. We easily give this place an 5 of 5 and WILL be back! Ring the bell by the door when leaving if you agree!

I'd been craving a chili dog for a while and they did not disappoint! The hot dog was huge and loaded with chili and cheese. I couldn't even finish it and took the rest home for a snack. My son also had the chili dog but he got the combo meal that came with chips and a drink. Bonus for me-Coke products! If you love a good hot dog, this is the place for you! The young man who waited on us was super sweet and friendly and we chatted while he put together our order. We chose to sit outside on their deck because the weather was nice. I'm going to take advantage of all this outdoor seating before the weather turns blistering hot! Bottom line-great location, food and service. Definitely a wiener, I mean winner! HA

PROS: - As stated above, they still make a good old- fashioned hot dogs. Using fresh ingredients, right there in front of the customer. - Actually, the restaurant interior decor hasn't really changed that much over the years. Great nostalgia! CONS: - The hot dogs are not the same as it was in the past. Back then, the buns, hot dogs, tomatoes, onions were all bigger. As a result, the overall flavor was different as well. I understand that it's tough to keep prices as low as possible during an era of inflation, but it's not the same as it used to be. CONCLUSION: The place has been there for what, 50 years? That makes it a historical Stockton institution. (Just look at some of the pictures posted on the restaurant's wall) So, if you want an old-school hot dog, enjoying your meal at a place that has old-school history, this is STILL the place to come to.

Now was a good as time as any! As we entered, there was a sign to meet at the bar for seating. The waitress/server came out after a bit of a wait and according to my friend, it's usually a longer wait time around lunch for someone to come out and seat you. I was recommended to try the pork schnitzel by my friend and it did not disappoint. I got my sandwich with a side salad. We also ordered the deviled eggs to share. My friend has never had the deviled eggs before and pleasantly surprised and delighted that the eggs were absolutely delicious. They're very smooth, eggs were cooked perfectly and the touch of bacon was just right. It does come with a small helping of mixed greens topped with pickled onions. The pork schnitzel was crispy & crunchy due to the breaded pork loin, came with pickled onions, slaw and the chipotle aioli sauce. The sauce does have a bit of a kick to it but it wasn't too spicy, well, at least for me. My salad was very good too. It was colorful and had an interestingly tangy dressing on it. It paired well with the sandwich. One was spicy and the salad was tangy but refreshing. My friend also ordered the pork schnitzel with beef tallow fries. I tried some of her fries and they were thin but still crispy. Overall the food at West Oak Nosh was so good and delicious! Service was good, prompt and our server was attentive despite being by herself. I think this place is great for the summer to have a drink and eat. Will have to come back for the drinks!

I still want to go back for a hot dog but it'll have to wait until I'm back in town. The guy was also super friendly and welcoming. I will be back. I'm kinda glad I don't live in Stockton.

I had a very frustrating experience here due to customer service and wait time. The donuts are very…read moreexpensive, and I only ordered one dozen plus three additional donuts. I was initially told the wait would be 5 to 15 minutes, which I was fine with. However, the actual wait ended up being 45 minutes, which is excessive for donuts. What made it more frustrating was the lack of transparency. If the wait was going to be that long, I would have appreciated an honest estimate upfront so I could decide whether to stay or leave. Unfortunately, once I paid, I felt stuck waiting. The shop itself is very small and extremely hot, which made the long wait uncomfortable. From what I could see, there appeared to be only two people working - at the counter and one in the back and at one point I could hear a baby crying from the production area, which added to the confusion and concern about what was going on behind the scenes. I want to be clear: the product itself is excellent. The donuts are fresh, unique, and delicious. I have no complaints about the quality of the food at all. That said, this business really needs to re-evaluate its operations, staffing, and customer communication. Great products can be overshadowed by poor service and long, poorly managed wait times. With better organization and clearer communication, this place could offer a much better overall experience.

Wow! My last review of Flip's was over ten years ago, and while my last visit wasn't quite as long…read moreago, it's still the same Flip's we loved with some little updates. It's still the same building at the corner of Waterloo and N. Filbert st. and they have their own parking, which makes it easy to stop in. The chalkboard menu has been replaced with a digital menu, but all the old favorites are still available. Really, not much else has changed. They offer all day breakfast sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs, additional sandwiches and some delicious fried options including multiple options of fries. They're also known for their milkshakes. The team here greeted us right away and gave us time to look over the menu and snap some photos before we placed our order. On this visit we ordered a small Rocky Road milkshake ($7.75) and a small is still a generous sized milkshake. I split it with my friend and it was plenty for both of us. One thing that makes their shakes special is that they blend them into a thick shake, but add an extra scoop of ice cream on top. This way it's nice and cold and you can scoop it or let it melt as you drink from the bottom of the shake and the thick consistency lasts longer. Stopping in reminded me why we love this spot and that I need to visit more often- especially for a full meal so I can enjoy their burgers again.
