    Beignets were amazing
    Diana M.

    This was our first time visiting this restaurant, and it did not disappoint!! It's a small gem tucked into the corner of a tiny strip mall in Tracy (years and years ago, this space was occupied by Fabio's). We started with the Fried Pickle Coins, served with Sriracha Aioli and Dill Ranch dipping sauces, and we had the chips and salsa. Neither appetizer disappointed and were very tasty! For the main course, I had the BLT! They were not stingy with the bacon, like most places that serve a BLT! It was loaded with bacon and full of flavor! Lastly, for dessert we shared the Apple Tart - served warm with vanilla ice cream. Our server - Solomon, was super funny and personable, and he made our dining experience just that much better! I highly recommend Chapter 2! You will not be disappointed!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Apple tart with whipped cream and caramel.

    I have been here three times and each time has been fabulous. There are so many things on the inside. Walls to read, games to play and funny things to look at in the restrooms. The service is always the best. The people who work there seem genuinely happy to be there and they take very good care of the customers. As for the food it's always hard to decide what to pick. The last time I was there they had a soup flight which I found so interesting. And each soup was delicious. Today I got the shrimp scampi and the pasta was cooked perfectly and the sauce was so flavorful. My sister and I decided to share a dessert and we picked the Apple tart. It was perfectly sweet without being overly sweet. I would definitely get that again.

    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.

    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.

    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 review! Once again, we brought our daughter to your special night for families like ours,…read moregot there with an early reservation (our daughter eats early!) and yet again had a very lovely time. I was trying to figure out what to do for our daughter's 13th birthday that wasn't too "little kid" themed and thought maybe we could do an early dinner before your typical crowd comes in. When I looked at your website it was like it was meant to be that ON her birthday you were having your special event. It was perfect. Food- she still prefers her safe food so her meal was the Golden Arches ;) but thank you for letting us bring it in for her. For mom and dad- this time instead of just appetizers we opted for an appetizer (garlic bread), and two main dishes: the pernil and the creamy chicken pasta. Everything was delicious. My husband took one bite of the pernil and I heard him say "oh yeah" lol. My chicken pasta was flavorful and had plenty of veggies and chicken and the portion was perfect for me to have leftovers at home. That garlic bread though-- you are not kidding around with that! It was very tasty! Thank you for the little birthday dessert, while we knew she wouldn't eat it, it was important for her to have the candle/singing experience. Then of course she made us eat it. (And yes it was also delicious.) Hope we can return on other nights both with our daughter and if ever possible for a mom and dad date night. There are many other dishes we want to try.

Their customer service goes above and beyond; not only did they go out of their way to add all of their sides to their DoorDash menu immediately, but they sent us mashed potatoes on the house! They even got the food out to us 15 minutes before the food was expected to arrive! As always, everything was delicious, hot, and the texture was comparable to what we get when we eat at the restaurant as well.

Huckleberry's is a great option if you're looking for breakfast. The restaurant is surprisingly spacious inside and can easily accommodate large groups.

The interior has a cozy, rustic feel with exposed brick that made me feel like I wasn't in Tracy. Our server was friendly, attentive, and quick to take our drink orders while we looked over the menu. The only minor disappointment was the drip coffee, which had a bit more bitterness than I prefer. I ordered a build-your-own omelet with three eggs, avocado, bacon, and cheese, served with fresh fruit and wheat toast. The omelet was a generous size, and they definitely didn't skimp on the bacon. The fruit was fresh, and the wheat toast had the perfect balance of being lightly crisp on the outside while still soft and buttery inside. Overall, I had a very good experience. The food was satisfying, the service was excellent, and the restaurant has a welcoming atmosphere. I'd definitely come back the next time I'm in the mood for breakfast.

We only had one issue, which was likely not the fault of our waiter. It took a while for us to get some ketchup for my fiance's mom. It wasn't terribly crowded, but we are all human so I wouldn't fault anyone for taking a hot minute to track down a bottle of ketchup. I ordered a California chicken club sandwich. I fancy a good shoestring French fry, but these ones in particular are outstanding. I found myself wanting the fries even more than my sandwich, and that is a high compliment because I also love sandwiches on sourdough. My one and only complaint about this trip was the temperature of the restaurant. Tracy heat was in the triple digits and it felt as though there was zero air conditioning. All of us were sweating at our table, and the wait staff was visibly sweating as well. If the air conditioning was broken, it would have been nice to know before we sat down. The Biscoff pizookie was a really nice ending to the meal. The combo of vanilla ice cream, Biscoff cookie butter drizzle, and hot/soft cookie were perfect. I hope this location gets a better AC situation soon.

Hour of arrival was around 5pm. We were greeted by Natalie and welcome in. We sat at the bar. Shortly after we were greeted by Caroline. We spoke about what brought us here.

We ordered 3 new haven style pizza or apizza as advertised. We ordered the Mozz , Margherita and one not on the menu Pepperoni hot honey apizza. This is the order she suggested we have them and we complied. I'm no expert of new haven style pizza but I'll watched enough Dave Portnoy to maybe not necessarily be a judge but to recognize what makes a apizza. Let me start by saying these pizzas were delicious. As for the characteristics of a new haven there were some. I'll let you be the judge by the picture or your own experience dinning here. We tried all 3 as they were coming out the oven and also tried them with Caroline customizations. In short they elevated the apizza. She also mentioned she puts some parmigiano reggiano on her pizza and has a big wheel of it in the back which I didn't get the chance to see and take a picture. None the less another thing to like about her pizza.. Natalie crafted some fine spirits for us to accompany our pizzas although I wish they were a bit more unbalanced in a good way but then again the are mixed drink.
