The Most Delectable Bars in Stockton

Bistro 135

★★★★☆ 4.1 (794) • $$

"I will say that the dining setting matches the food produced by this place. I've not lived in Tracy very long but have tried some restaurants and this is the place to eat. The shrimp appetizer, the artichoke dip, the macaroni and cheese all are spectacular. I've now eaten dinner and this week lunch. Let me tell you about the Parm chicken sandwich. Amazing!!! The chicken was hanging out of the side I could have made a whole other sandwich!! The he sauce is amazing , the cheese was melted perfectly. The chicken was crunchy yet moist. The tomato sauce perfect balance of acidity and tang. Everything I've tried here is well seasoned and I'll be returning again soon. I have heard issues with service but until I get bad service I'll keep coming here."

Thai Me Up

★★★★☆ 3.8 (753) • $$

"Thai Me Up has excellent food! Ive only been here twice, but both visits were great. I am no expert on Thai cuisine, but I know delicious when I taste it, LOL. The restaurant was clean and the staff were nice on each visit. Thai Me Up is an easy recommendation. Give them a try!"

Sidetrack Bar + Grill

★★★★☆ 4 (591) • $$

"This is a great spot to grab some delicious food and drink, and catch a game on the multiple TV screens. The service is the best and very friendly. One of my favorite spots in Pleasanton."

Don Luis Mexican Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.5 (600) • $$

"8/16/24: two orders chorizo con huevos. Rice, beans, salsa on the table and requested pico de gallo for a mild option. yum"

Dj’s Restaurant & Taphouse

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (754) • $$

"I didn't know Pete's had a change of ownership, BUT I will say that the food, the service is really good in my opinion. Today I went to this restaurant with my family, it was also a good decision because it was filling. The way it looks inside though, it feels like it didn't change. I didn't know what to order first and for me I was torn between the Spicy Chicken Alfredo and the Fettuccine Alfredo. I did end up picking the Spicy Chicken Alfredo. It is a 7.5/10 for me and I have to say that the dish felt underwhelming because I expected a lot of flavor by looking at it. I will say that the chef does know how to cook the chicken because it is juicy and tender. My family has chosen to get the BBQ Chicken Pizza, Garlic Chicken, and the Succulent Ribeye. FIRST OFF, GARLIC CHICKEN PIZZA IS SO DAMN GOOD. 10/10If I were to recommend anything to get to anyone, it would definitely be the Garlic Chicken Pizza. It taste so hearty and flavorful. The BBQ Chicken Pizza is also very good and I love how BBQ has a good layer that doesn't make BBQ to bold to taste. 9/10THE CHEESE PULL. the pizza has the CHEESE PULL!!!!The Succulent Ribeye aka "Steak", I was taken by surprise by how tender and juicy the steak is. I have went to many restaurants that serve steak and it is dry but this steak was tender, juicy, and flavorful. I recommend that people should come by and eat here, the energy is lively, the waitresses are really nice, and they do play sports games and leave it on too."

Rivets American Grill

★★★★☆ 3.5 (579) • $$

"A large group of us came in for dinner, we loved how kick back and relaxed the vibes are here! The service was outstanding and the food was super good! We were told they have a live band here, we will come back for a date night!"

Tasty Thai

★★★★☆ 3.7 (510) • $$

"This is my go-to Thai restaurant. The place itself is located in a well-kept small shopping strip - it is clean and spacious inside. It is a casual place to dine with friends and family - and they can accommodate groups. They always have lots of people ordering to go as well. This family-run business always gives excellent service. They are very polite and work so hard to ensure you have exactly what you need. The food is fresh, delicious and comes out quickly. It is the best Thai place in the area. They also offer several gf dishes! I never get any pictures because we always just dive right in. My staples are the spring rolls - it comes with 6 and the best peanut sauce I've ever tasted (I think they make it from scratch). I love their Tom Yum Kai soup - you need to order it Thai style...sooo good! And the pad sweet and sour hits the spot! I've ordered multiple other dishes, but those are my go to. I almost always have leftovers as the portions are a good-size, so I get to enjoy the food another day. Come try it! The food is fresh, delicious and healthy- your taste buds will be happy!"

AVE on the Mile

★★★★☆ 4 (340) • $$

"Can here with my friends for some drinks and a good time, which is what we got. They had a DJ and it was great vibe. Drinks and food was not too expensive and the music was great. Can't wait to come back again another time."

West Oak Nosh

★★★★☆ 4.4 (278) • $$

"I finally got to try West Oak Nosh and wow this place is great. inside was nice and roomy with lots of seating. The employees were really friendly and nice. I was able to place a to go order and I got the Pork Schnitzel, Nosh Burger, and the B.A.L.T. Combo. The food was really good. My favorite was the B.A.L.T the sandwich was huge. The bacon was crispy and delicious and the avocado mash was nice and flavorful. The fries were also seasoned well and crispy. The Pork Schnitzel was huge. A little too dry for me. and needed more seasoning. The pickled onions were a kick of flavor and got my attention. wow. The Nosh Burger was really good. The meat was tasty and the greens were fresh. I got the chipotle aioli sauce on the side and was able to sauce it up. I'm impressed with West Oak Nosh. I will definitely return when I'm in the area to try their other items."

The Peppery

★★★★☆ 3.7 (351) • $$

"Everyone was super nice here service was quick. I really appreciate some dishes and some dishes were meh. Portion sizes are great! But you would think when paying closer to steakhouse prices you would get food that is a little bit more well thought out. The skirt steak was tough even though it says it was marinated. I absolutely loved my burger. I wish it was a little bit more juicy. I'm thinking that my burger patty was frozen. I hope the owner makes some adjustments because they have a pretty great thing going on here.. if they would focus a little bit more on being more of a scratch kitchen, they would run this whole town!!"

Bruno's Italian Cuisine

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (453) • $$

"Party of 8 (4 adults, 4 kids ages 4-12) Came in after the Sunday lunch rush. We were easily accommodated. Food was delicious and service was excellent. Waters were always filled and warm complimentary bread at the table.Half & Half pizza - the cheese and pepperoni was a hit for the kidsLinguine with clams - fresh and scrumptiousPollo Alla Bayou - did not disappoint. it was yummy with the right amount of spice.Chicken Alfredo with Angel Hair instead of Fettuccine- tasty and not too heavy. dish was devoured.Risotto Della Casa - Savory. Pretty heavy so we had leftovers of this dish.Definitely coming back to try the otherdishes!"

Five Ten Bistro

★★★★☆ 3.6 (324) • $$

"Hey Five Ten,So.. I don't normally frequent higher-end restaurant like yourself, and yes you are considered higher end here, buta few friends took me out for my birthday and we decided to check you out.Nice atmosphere, quiet. Servers were polite. Food was well presented.Iron steak - Just what you expect. Good. In all honesty, I don't know how often I would come here unless it's a very special occasion since with the higher "class" comes higher prices. But hey a great option for something more upscale."

David's Pizza

★★★☆☆ 3 (371) • $$

"I have been going to David's for about 20 plus years. Even my daughter worked there as a waitress on her teenager years.Pizza is always good, sports on tv's and beer; what else can you ask?"

El Jardin

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (293) • $$

"This restaurant is located in what looks like an older home. And that might be abuela's because the dishes here are what I imagine she would cook if she was still here. The chips and salsa were really cool and they also brought out a cabbage and jalapeño salsa that was amazing and unique. The bean dip was fire too and got the appetite going.I browsed the menu and seen the Chicken Molé Poblano. I love trying molé and when I seen El Jardin's had won an award I couldnt pass it up. I was here with a large party after a water polo tournament for my son. So service was a bit slow but the server did her best refilling drinks and chips. When the food did come out it was hot and looked delicious. The molé was phenomenal! I can see why it won an award as it was the best molé I've ever had to this point in my young life. This spot is a must try if in the area. All the dishes that came out looked really good. Super authentic place with workers doing a great job at keeping it one of the best in Cali."

Burly's California Bistro

★★★★★ 4.5 (142) • $$

"First time coming in to eat! This place was very clean, seemed as though it was a new spot, turns out they have been open for about 3yrs. The food was delicious it was light and fresh tasting not heavy at all. Service was great she was so nice and attentive. The only complaint I had was the coffee I had was not good at all. I drank half just to get some caffeine in me, but could not finish it no matter how many creams I would put into the coffee. Will definitely be back and bring the hubs and parents. The food is locally sourced it says that in the menu which is very cool to know."

FED

★★★★☆ 3.9 (184) • $$

"FED in Stockton is such a great find! From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by a modern, yet comfortable atmosphere that makes it a perfect spot to enjoy a delicious meal. The menu offers a variety of dishes, ranging from hearty comfort food to fresh, light options, all full of flavor with creative twists on classic favorites.The service is top-notch--friendly and attentive, making sure you have a great experience from start to finish. The vibe is perfect for both casual dining and special occasions.Whether you're looking for a filling meal or just a quick bite, FED is definitely worth a visit. I'll be back for sure!"

Tequileros Cantina

★★★★☆ 3.9 (135) • $$

"I ordered the beef tequileros nachos to go. Portions here are huge and the nachos were tasty. Heard that the chicken nachos were not as good because the chicken was dry."

Imperial Spice

★★★★☆ 4.3 (111)

"This location used to be Dhaba (which we loved) and then after they closed, we would visit the other Dhaba location on Grant line. But I wondered what the next business would be here.We placed a phone order which was a bit of a challenge because I think perhaps the person on the other end had a hearing issue or something as hubby kept having to repeat himself but was incredibly patient with them. Upon entering, it was lunch time. The layout inside looks exactly how Dhaba did. Not much changed there. The guy who brought out our food was friendly and kind.Lunch buffet goes for $22. Seems a bit steep for lunch but perhaps would've been the better option considering we paid $50 for 2 adults for the following items and portions were small.Butter chicken (1/5)Chicken Tikka Masala (4/5)Saffron Rice (5/5)Garlic Naan (4/5)The Butter chicken missed the mark for us completely. The heat was there however:1) It kid you not, it only had 6 SMALL pieces of chicken :( the size of a tater tot. The container was 99% sauce. 2) We've had many butter chickens in our life however the sauce was swimming in butter/oil, to the point where we could see the oil globs forming and wasn't appetizing at all. I feel we got punk'd with this dish.The chicken tikka came in the same container style as the butter chicken. This one had a better serving of chicken but not a lot either. The saffron rice was not included with the main dishes and the portion was small but was very delicious in flavor.The garlic naan was pretty good too.Overall I was disappointed with the portion sizes. Our Indian food order is usually 2 mains (1 must be butter chicken), rice, garlic naan, and samosas. We ALWAYS had leftovers for the next day for 2 adults. We did not have any leftovers with this place. I hope they take this and improve on the portions of their chicken."

El Jardin Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.5 (136) • $$

"I stopped by to pick up dinner tonight. My grandma wanted pozole and I wanted chicken soup. I also ordered a chicken taquito. Chicken soup came with flour or corn tortillas. We were also given chips and salsa. Such a cute restaurant. The guy who owns it is very polite and keeps his business clean. My grandmother didn't like her pozole. For her the chunks of pork was too big and she found some fatty pieces. So I ended up making her something else. I tried a bite of the pozole and I thought flavor was good and the pork was very tender. But I did see a few fatty pieces. My chicken soup was horrible. I wish I ordered the chicken tortilla soup that I had last time because that was so good. The regular caldo de pollo had a few pieces of lime inside and right away I bit a big piece of lime. Soup was flavorless. Tasted like lime water with chicken in it . I did not eat it. Chicken taquito was good. I'm glad I ordered it so I didn't go hungry. Next time I'll order something else for sure ."

Las Casuelas

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (107) • $$

"Really happy we finished our business early, as the Roadhouse had not yet opened.They were just putting out the open sign at 11, so we went in.Fast friendly service and great food! Watch out for the salsa, it has a little bite. LOL Guacamole is outstanding as well. You also get a bowl of re-fried beans with your chips! Will be back next month for sure!"

De Colores Mexican Restaurant & Bar

★★★★☆ 3.7 (55) • $$

"Went to this restaurant today for lunch. I had heard that the food was good hear from my friends. So decided to try it today for lunch. Nice large place. Plenty of room both inside and outside for a special event or function. They also have nice large screen TV's to watch games if you want. They have a full bar also. Overall good food. Personally I wish they had different chips but that is my opinion only. The chips are served with a side of Salsa (of course) but they also included a side of refried beans. Nice touch. My wife enjoyed her Chile Relleno and Soft Taco. The rice & beans were flavorful also.If you want to try a nice place that is clean with plenty of room and good food, stop by and pay them a visit."

Chili's

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (69) • $$

"Chilis has come to Merced and I gladly welcome a new place to grab some bites and drinks! Located in the Merced Mall plaza and with plenty of parking. They have a full bar with wine, spirits, and beer on tap. Happy Hour is 3-6 M-F and all day on the weekends! The lighting in this store is nice and bright!When my friend and I got here, the wait for a table was 45min. We got a seat at the bar and sat down right away because spots were available. Our server/bartender was Sylvia, who was helpful and attentive.We both ordered margaritas. Mine was the Presidente and my friend ordered the Straw-Eddy'Rita. So delicious!We ordered the Ultimate Cajun Pasta and split that between us. It was a pretty hearty portion so we were happy to split it, plus it was delicious! The menu is pretty typical of a Chili's but the staff were very helpful and kind! I'm looking forward to coming back!"

Junoon Indian Cuisine & Bar

★★★★☆ 3.9 (46)

"Tried this new spot and the ambiance is nice. Nice chairs and decor inside. Service was good, our waitress was nice and patient. Alright let's get to the food....Aloo tikki appetizer- delicious, it's similar to a potato croquette but with Indian flavors and served with the chutney and sweet red sauce.Chicken tikka masala- now I've eaten at a lot of Indian restaurants and the one they served me didn't really look or taste like tikka masala. It look more like goat curry but with chicken.... It was good but not what I expected or wanted.Jeera rice- good flavor and basic riceGarlic naan- nice and crispyDrink- nice variety of drink options, from cocktails to mocktailsSpice levels- the waitress warned me that hot level is not what I can take.... So we ordered medium.... And didn't taste spicy at all..... so had to ask for a side of spicy chili sauce.Hoping someone posts their order of chicken tikka masala so I can compare, because I wanna know if I got jipped...."

Zaika Indian Bistro Bar

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (56)

"I am sorry to all my yelpers. I am traveling for work ran inside to grab some food and dash back to the hotel. I order had a drink and waited for my food. My waitress was Navjot she very polite and nice . She made feel welcome. She was able to discuss the menu and together we figured out a fire recommendation the Special Chicken Biryani's. Very delicious and light with the rice. Spice level was medium just barely breaking a sweat. The restaurant was clean and open. This is must try if you love Indian food. I will be returning just to give this place a sit down and try . Please support and give them try."

The Tipping Point

★★★★☆ 4.3 (35)

"I've only had the beer and cider and their choices are awesome! Maybe next time I'll grab a bite to eat. The last time we stopped in was just to grocery shop after sushi so we weren't hungry but I guess we were thirsty We grabbed a couple brews and watched the game. Staff are super friendly and informative. Can't wait to stop in again to try more adult beverages."

O'Ryleigh's Bar & Grill

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (74) • $

"I was skeptical about trying the food cuz so didn't even know they had food. And I've had plenty of fun, danced filled night here but that was a while ago.... This review is solely on the food which we've gone during lunch a few times. Hands down the best bang for your buck steak sandwich you can find. The steak is HUGE and both times has been cooked exactly like I like.The last time i got the tacos and love them! I did like one of each and they all had tons of flavor. I remember i couldn't choose which one was my favorite.Our friend got the western burger and she LOVED it!!"
