Western Burger
Destry H.

First timers club? Well, Ive lived in Tracy going on 28 years and take great pleasure in finding and patronizing small businesses. And today was one of those opportunities. My daughter was in town and of course its was daddy/daughter time. Although I've been peeking this spot out for quite some time, I just decided today was the day. And let's just say, Chapter 2 did not disappoint! We came in just after 1:30 in the afternoon, we were promptly greeted and seated. Solomon ( our server) gave us the rundown and gave us time to review the menu. He also took our drink order, and eventually with a quick look, I knew what my body needed, especially after having just finished my workout. My daughter decided on the Western Burger and I decided on the Shrimp Scampi pasta plate. While our orders were being prepared, it gave us time to chat and check out the restaurants decor. I'll say this, its different but man, I absolutely dig the vibe here. One of the things I seem to always ask is, what is the restaurants origin story....ans that when I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Heather, the owner. To say the least, she's my kinda folk. Orders arrived and again, we were not disappointed in any way, shape or form. We both enjoyed everything, and Im not a desert kind of guy, but there were beignets on the menu... served with Carmel and/or chocolate sauce. Needless to say, they were Dee-Lish-Ous! The one thing that sealed the deal besides the great food was the restaurants restroom. I wont give it away, but its just something you gotta experience...again, its all about the experience for me when it comes to dining or patronage at any business, it has to hit! Heather, thank you again so very much for the incredible opportunity to meet you and like I said to you today, you're going be seeing me again, probably more often than I need to be in there! So a message to those visiting or you are like me, newly retired and are rediscovering Tracy, or just strolling through downtown, please swing through Chapter 2.

Beignets

A very low key hole in the wall place and you know what that means... food is bomb!! We had their soup specials and the artichoke one was my fave and I usually don't like artichoke but this soup made me love it. I had the sambal chicken sandwich it was okay, it was missing the sambal taste but I was still satisfied. And omg the star of the show was their beignets!! I have been to NOLA and had Cafe Du Monde's beignets and I would say these beignets were sooo much better, crispy on the outside and airy and soft in the inside. I was inlove!! I would definitely come back and try their other sandwiches and pasta and ofcourse the beignets. Happy eating!

Bourbon burger shoe string fries

Little hole in the wall kinda place. I love those! Good beer selection, great food menu. And the people who work here are fantastic, we had Solomon. I had the bourbon burger, it was great. My wife had the BLT and it had lots of bacon on it! We will be back! I almost forgot about dessert, we had beignets and our friends had the apple strudel and said it was delicious.

Hot honey chicken sandwich with waffle fries
Jonathan A.

I stopped by here first to grab food before trying out Morgan Territory Brewing in Tracy. Everything was excellent. The food, service and ambiance all came together in this small but friendly little restaurant. I got one of their grilled chicken sandwiches that came with hot honey along with waffle fries on the side. The chicken was juicy and the hot honey complimented it which I've never had with grilled chicken before. The waffle fries were seasoned well. I also shared some fried pickles with my table and those were more flavorful than most fried pickles elsewhere. Parking can be tight but it's definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. I would definitely go back in the area but since it's over an hour away from my current location I probably won't be back for a while unless I know I'll need to head down that direction which is not common. I'm glad I got the chance to try them at least once though.

Updating my review (it's been a long time coming!) after a pleasurable lunch experience! We wandered in for lunch on a Friday afternoon, and I was surprised to see how quiet it was. This environment however, was perfect for us since I had my 14 month old in tow. They had crayons, books, legos and a few toys set to the side that you could grab from to entertain your kiddos. Card and board games were also available up front for those who want to play a game while they dine. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming, and treated us like friends. Our waiter was great! The house made chips were as delightful as they sound. Fried were well fried, flavors well developed and paired, and the food was just overall delightful. They also make a number of sauces in house, so be sure to ask them about the dipping sauces while you're here! They have a full bar in the front, so if you're craving a yummy cocktail alongside dinner, they can make that happen. I highly recommend giving them a try for in person dining!

Karma Barnyard Burger
Erin H.

Extremely friendly staff. Spaghetti and 3 Meatballs. Decent price and tasty. Ask for sauce on the side of your not a sauce fan or like it more runny. Karma was worth it. Had so much left over for a lunch the next day. Barnyard Burger. I would post a picture of the beignets with chocolate and homemade salted caramel sauce...but...we ate it before we remembered to take a picture. It's rivals Cafe du Monde (original) on the river New Orleans.

Heard great things about the place, and I wanted to see if the hype was real. Well the hype was real. Food was good and the service was great!!! Will be making a return trip soon.

As we walked in the door we picked out a game to play as this is something offered for patrons. It's one of the things we love about coming here for date night! Heather the owner greeted us and we were quickly seated. Solomon is our favorite server and is always amazing. He made us two great mocktails, mine had cucumber and mint and citrus, so good and refreshing. Hubby had a blueberry, pineapple, green apple and something else. It was also perfect! We ordered the caprisi salad which had pesto and mozzarella and was was super tasty with pita bread. We ordered an extra pita bread as it needed a bit more. The steak was done to perfection with a garlic butter on top, mashed potatoes and green beans with red pepper and corn. We shared as it was a big serving and left us a little room to share the yummy bread pudding. Solomon suggested it and it was fantastic. Moist and super decadent with caramel and a homemade whipped cream. I would order all of it again. We will be back!

Oh how we LOVE YOU Chapter 2!!! You've consistently been not only delicious but such a warm and friendly environment with amazing service, that we love coming to eat together as a family (especially since theirs so many options that we all love)! I've been a fan for a long time but decided to update my review today and now (while I sit in the establishment) because I just devoured the best chicken Marsala I've ever had. Don't get me wrong, I've had it here before while it was on special prior to becoming a menu item, but to see that it's made its way to the menu just made my whole year!! They make the Marsala sauce so perfectly rich flavorful, I could never get enough! I seriously could lick my plate! Thank you for sharing your love for delicious food, with a cheers like atmosphere! You guys are the best!! We'll be back, like next week and every week after. lol

Side salad with bleu cheese

Chapter 2 has been on my list of curiosities for quite some time now- finally made it in this evening. Tucked away into the corner of a small shopping center can make this restaurant and easy one to miss. With being on a "plant-based" structure as of late, this was the wrong spot for me! I came in with great intentions of getting the caprese... then I saw the peanut butter burger on the menu and it was game over. My hunt for the best peanut butter burger when I travel is much the same as my hunt for the best bloody mary. How did I not know there was a peanut butter burger right in my backyard? So of course... plant-based went out the window for the evening and the burger was ordered (along with the bruschetta). The burger was tasty, but I had to pack half of it to go. The bruschetta, the bread had a heavy salted flavor along with a char. I think the salt would normally be a bit much, but with the acidity from the bruschetta, it's actually a delicious bite. I'd order both items again. Our waitress, though I didn't catch her name, was also very helpful.

My Karma - ended up being Chicken Marsala with mashed potatoes and sautéed string beans on the side.

AWARENESS: Chapter 2 opened a year or so ago, after Dave Helm, owner of Helm's Ale House passed away and his long time partner Heather entered into the next chapter of life (Chapter 2). Since its opening, I've had it book marked to try, especially after seeing all the raves about the food in both the local paper and in Yelp reviews. NARRATIVE: Chapter 2 opened in the location where Fabio's Italian Cuisine once stood. Inside, you'll find a decent size bar with a few seats and to the right, many dining tables with various pictures of Heathers life and friends displayed under the tables plexiglass. The first thing that caught my eye when the wife and I sat down at our table was, a small box on the table, stenciled with "Disconnect & Reconnect. Place phones here... Talk to each other!" WOW, way to go Heather. When it came time to order, I asked about the Karma. From the menu, it says "Karma - "you don't get what you want, you get what you deserve. Our choice. Our creation." Our server told me, each time someone has ordered the Karma, it's been different so, I took the chance. It ended up being( Chicken Marsala smothered in a thick, garlic brown gravy and sides of mashed potatoes with sautéed green beans. AMAZING choice and AMAZING food! SCENE: As mentioned above. Chapter 2 is located where Fabio's Italian food was located. It's sits in a small strip mall at the corners of W 10th St. and B St. A small but cozy place. RECOMMENDATION(S): Keep it local folks. It's worth ever bit of your time money.

My sister recommended this place she loved the food . We had to pick a place to celebrate my parent's new home and my mom's retirement. It was 10 of us at this dinner . They do not have reservations so what we did was we showed up at 430 when they re- open the restaurant for dinner . Once's we arrived right after us people started to show up . So if you have a large party I recommend showing up early . Once we walked in on the left there is a phone looks like an old payphone but once you look closer It says to pick up to hear the voice of an Angel . It's so sweet !! it's someone singing and that is the way to keep his memory alive I loved the idea. The restroom is very interesting I loved all the pictures on the wall and quotes . I loved the ambience everyone was happy and friendly. They have a cute bar set up also . The food was all amazing I got the wedge salad my favorite part was the apples in it . The Kentucky Burger is a must have.. So so good ! Everyone else had pasta and burgers we all loved our food very good . They offer beers on tap, wine and liquor from the bar. I would suggest having like a signature cocktail drink . Overall we loved it here . I highly recommend checking it out .

Another great experience at Chapter 2! Back to try more of the menu and we weren't disappointed. Tried the carnitas quesadilla special, Philly sandwich, and the apple tart for dessert. Quesadilla was delicious, meat tender and very flavorful. The Philly was really good as well, tender beef, reminded us of our favorite Chicago beef sandwich, which is a huge compliment. The apple tart was life changing, so amazing, with a cinnamon whip top and a little salt with the apples... sooo good. Dinner for 2 with drinks, an appetizer, 2 entrees and a dessert with tip, $75. What a deal!

Jumbo Shrimp Pasta :) the special

See all

Went to Save Mart today, the store is very clean fully stocked. I enjoy shopping and Save Mart but…read morewhen I checked out, I was checked out by a lady named Gwen.. who never said hello did not have a smile on her face was really not real rude to me but rude to me because I didn't have my products the right way for her . Customer service is such an easy thing to do to put a smile on your face greet your customer. You didn't even have to make small talk just be nice. She wasn't nice to the two customers before me, the next time I go in there if she's checking out, I'm not going to her. I'll go to self-service if that's not available. I'll just leave my cart.

I've always had good luck with the meat departments at Save Mart, so I stopped in here to see what they had. I cane across a pack of what looked like good marbled flank/ skirt / flap steak, you know that thin steak with he grain all running in one dir3ection. Usually I don't get this cut, but hey, it was on sale, and rib eye costs way more. We did a salt pepper garlic powder and paprika rub and my friend grilled it up perfect. Sliced against the grain, it was a very good steak for the price. I'll say no it wasn't as tender as a high end rib eye or any prime grade meat, but when you look at the price of $8.00 vs $25 a pound, it was worth it and my friend liked it too. Save Mart meat departments are better than most supermarket meat departments, you can actually get someone to help you!

I found it on Yelp otherwise I would have never known it existed. All the food was good and freshly cooked. The sampler was all yummy with the ranch dipping sauce that has imitation bacon I was told ( because I dont eat pork). I loved the fish and chips. They provided amply amount of tarter sauce. I was using as much as I could on each dip and was still left with tarter sauce at the end. The fries are unique and extremely crispy and different. I loved them. Never had fries like that before, truly unique. Can't wait to try more stuff on tje menu. Pro tip: they close earlier than usual on Sunday so come early on that day. We arrived at closing time but they was nice enough to let is sit down and order.
