The Most Scrumptious Beer Bar in Stockton

Cast Iron Trading

★★★★☆ 4.4 (462) • $$

"Quite the find!! We were very excited to try out The Cast Iron tonight. First impression - whoa, what a cool place!We quickly learned that we needed to get in line to place our order at the counter then take a seat indoors/outdoors. The staff at the front counter were very friendly and able to answer our questions without hesitation. Additionally, I observed how well the staff worked together which says a lot about morale of the employees (and management). We placed our order and decided to take our cocktails and table-top order placard outside to sit since there was live music outside. No more than 10 minutes later our food was brought out. My one "itch" about our experience is that the food came separately. So while I'm sure my food was hot, I waited until my partners food was served before diving in. By the time his food arrived the outside air had cooled my food. Nonetheless, the food was still very good. I had the regular bacon cheeseburger with fries. The burger was cooked to perfection, melted cheese, touch of dressing and I totally appreciated the arugula on the burger. The seasoned fries were excellent as were the tater tots! There were large amount of tater tots and fries, plenty to share between the two of us, and even then we had leftovers which we gave to someone on the street. The sign reads "best burgers." We've only arrived to town a week ago, however, based on my experience this far, I would agree - best burger in town (so far)! We'll definitely be back!"

"Well to start off with there is plenty of parking here! Got here at 4:15 they open at 4:30 but lots of people trying to get in here, so I think that's a good sign!Was greeted by Abha and was very helpful with the menu, how to say service is outstanding at this restaurant.They gave me their version of chips and salsa made out of chickpeas. The restaurant has a very nice ambience, casual or formal your choice. and the food was amazing!!So if you're in this area and craving Indian food, this is the place to go to!"

Every bite was delicious. Great service, great relaxing ambiance, just what we needed on V-day. Our new favorite spot in Tracy. Every bite was delicious. We will be back!"

Empresso Coffeehouse

★★★★☆ 3.7 (305) • $

"They may not be at the Empire Theater, but Empresso still has that local coffee shop feeling. They food was excellent and the drinks were even better. The Iced Ginger lemon tea was perfect for this hot morning. On their specials, today was the salami pepperocini panini, Im hoping it'll still be on rotation when i come back. I only wish they had speakers outdoors. The music they were playing inside was great. Definitely will be back for more."

Whirlow's Tossed And Grilled

★★★★☆ 3.7 (252) • $$

"I've been here three times in the last 6 months and I can say it's really good now. Bc the first time didn't wow me and I wasn't going to come back lol. But Omg the second time it was soooooo good and extra spicy is actually spicy (but you gotta ask for it bc their spiciest on the menu isn't spicy). So here we are for the 3rd time. Good food, vibes and staff. Good place to drink too!!"

Empresso Coffeehouse

★★★★☆ 4 (76) • $

"Had to come into the city to get some papers at the courthouse very early on a very cold morning and afterwards was walking down the street and found this little coffeehouse. I can't have sugar so I popped in expecting to get a regular latte like I usually get but decided to ask if they have sugar free options, and found out they have tons! The inside was really nice, they have a bookshelf and tons of seating. Also, I don't know who the artist is but I really enjoyed the hilarious hand-drawn tip sign. Feels like a classic cafe with tons of personality and a great place to chill. Also, my latte came out quick, hot, and delicious. I definitely recommend checking this place out."

6 Cocktails

★★★★☆ 4.2 (33)

"My excitement for the new spot in town was undeniable. It was the perfect opportunity to visit and celebrate, as we were out for a birthday dinner. We ordered drinks--El Mariachi and the Katana--and paired them with spicy fish tenders and skewer sensation. The cocktails were fantastic, perfectly balanced with flavors that masked the alcohol just right. After one drink, I was already feeling a pleasant buzz.Being a fan of Indian fusion, I was thrilled with the menu, even though it's limited. The spicy fish tenders didn't quite have enough heat for my liking, but I'll be sure to ask for extra spice next time. We went with both the paneer and chicken skewers, which were fresh out of the tandoor and absolutely hit the spot.The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, checking on us several times throughout the evening. The place had a decent crowd for a Thursday night, and we had a wonderful conversation with the owner, learning more about the place. I'm definitely coming back, especially to try their lunch menu. Overall, it was a fantastic experience!"
