My wife and I were in Escalon today and looking for someplace for lunch. I spotted this restaurant on Yelp. What a find. The outside is beautiful, it was after the normal lunch hour's. When we walked in it was a wonderful dining room bustling with people, many of them speaking Portuguese. This was a good sign. We were seated by a very nice gentleman named Paul and our server was extremely nice and very well versed on the menu. I will not try to spell the Portuguese. Ames for our dishes. My wife had a special of marinaded ribs and Portuguese beans and I had marinated thin sliced pork with egg on top and rice and potatoes. Both came with Portuguese corn bread. This is well worth the drive from Stockton. read more

There are so many things I love about Debby's. Food is spectacular and the serving size is large enough for two or a perfect left over meal. Wait staff is kind and helpful when ordering. I do recommend called to reserve a table because there is frequently a wait due to her being in just high demand and limited seated. Outdoor seating is perfect for this time of year. read more

Service was good. Linguiça bites where very dry no flavor, rib eye was a 7 at best Mac and cheese was a 6. They didn't have any of the wine on the list and ran out of my son's beer after 2 bottles. read more

Another fantastic meal. Reservations for 6 at the last minute? Yes! Had Portuguese Vinho Verde wine. A cold efervescent wine done similar to a top not sauvignon blanc. Two of us had pasta, I had the lamb chops, we also had to portuguese marinated steaks. Just wow. The meal was perfect. The service was fantastic. Truly lucky this place is local. Fine dining with a Portuguese twist! read more

Friends invited us to lunch at Debby's Cuisine in Escalon. We've driven by many times but this was our first time trying it out. I'm a little familiar with Portuguese food but mostly just Portagee beans and linguiça. I had the pork tenderloin (can't remember the Portuguese name for it) with rice and fries. The pork was tender and tasty, fries were crispy, and the rice was moist and flavorful. Outstanding rice. So good. Wifey had the chicken masala with a side of veggies which she really enjoyed. The food was great and the service was outstanding. The menu is pretty eclectic. Several Portuguese dishes along with some Italian and American staples like a variety of burgers. Oh! We shared a piece of chocolate mousse cake that was decadently delicious. Didn't realize it but we were for almost three hours eating l, drinking, and visiting with our friends. We're definitely going back. This place is as good or better than any big city restaurant. read more

First time trying Portuguese food. The ambiance is quaint and inviting. The food was fresh and delicious. We ordered the fresh cheese and bread for the app, the Polvo which is an octopus stew and the NY strip. The cheese was very mild and bread was fresh and delicious. I wish they served their dinner rolls with it and those are the best. The octopus was tender and stew reminded me of a mild tomato stew. Different but tasty. They know how to flavor a steak. Probably my absolute favorite. Wish they rendered it trim the fat a little more but it was still very juicy cooked medium rare and full of flavor! Our friends ordered their cod dish and Portuguese steak dish. The cod dish was definitely different. Almost a cod potato casserole. They were satisfied. The servers were very friendly and owner hands on with passion. Love to see an owner making sure customers are happy. He also explained some of the dishes and made recommendations. The servers were nice however a little backed up as they had a large party upstairs. This restaurant is definitely a good way to be introduced to Portuguese food. read more

I work here in Escalon and have lil choices when it come to good and hearty meals. I have to settle for fast food witch is not that good, this place is serving up some serious delicious food and it's right down the street I can call in my order and be back in less then 7-9 min. I tried the farmhouse wagyu burger and lived every bite. Can't wait to go back and try the rib-eye steak. Keep up the good work read more

Been here twice now and both times food, service, and ambiance was fantastic - once for lunch and once for dinner. Had specialty hamburgers with fries for lunch - the fries, especially were incredible. Dinner was even better - starting with fresh Portuguese sweetbread and a super soft French loaf. Hubby had a ribeye steak, medium rare, that was thick, tender, and cooked perfectly. His sides were those great fries, and Debby's specialty Mac-n-cheese, opting for their crunchy garlic sauce that is clearly the best we've ever had - that garlic sauce put it over the edge! I had a delectable shrimp penne pasta in a light creamy garlic sauce that was perfect for a hot summer evening. Service was great! I think this is going to be a staple restaurant for us. Absolutely the nicest restaurant in Escalon! read more

Just had dinner at Debby's at the first time and I had to publicly give kudos. From the friendly and personally staff to the fresh and quality ingredients, and the generous portions. Can't wait to go back and taste more of their menu! Inhaled the food too fast to take pictures, but the Western burger is amazing and so is their Mac and Cheese! read more

Great food, great people, and great casual atmosphere. The Portuguese choices are all delicious (the specials are always wonderful) as are all the other entrees I've tried. Don't overlook the appetizers including the cheese and bread (ho hum it is not). Have a burger,but be very hungry or take the leftovers for lunch.The owners and staff are warm and welcoming. Bottom line: Take your appetite to Debby's and have a great meal. read more

The food in this place is really good!! This is truly an old school approach to eating out The plates come FULL of food, the flavor of the food is unbelievable, the vibe is casual/ relaxed, the waitress they have is friendly, the restaurant itself is spotless and the pricing makes this place a great value. I'm not sure where the chef learned to cook but the food is unbelievably good and her talent in the kitchen is obvious. To top it off, the chef really knows how to make good, authentic, traditional Portuguese food. We have eaten at Debby's four times since they opened. We have tried a variety of food across the breakfast, lunch and dinner menu. Everything we have tried has been amazing and her rice pudding alone should earn this place a Michelin star. This restaurant not fast casual. This is the place you go when you want to have a nice relaxing meal. Escalon has been needing a place like Debby's for a long time. read more

Food was so good. Portions were great. Pastéis De Bacalhau and the sopas, bife a portuguesa, o polvo, the deserts, all of it was top notch. I can't say enough about the place. Staff is great, very welcoming, very nice. Cant wait to go back and get some more of those fries. read more

Had the bifana sandwich for lunch. It was delicious as were the crispy fries. The owners are great people, friendly and hospitable. Food & staff were so good we're going back for Sunday Brunch. Great addition in Escalon. read more

We really enjoyed our time spent here. Staff was very nice, and made sure that all was what we wanted. My wife and I both had the rib eye, with apps of shrimp scampi and poblano chicken soup. We felt the food was great. Steaks cooked exactly how we ordered. The entree price was a bit higher than I expected ($58/ea), but as stated earlier, we enjoyed the food and will be back. read more

It gets busy on Fridays, but the staff/owner are quite friendly and will try their best to find a seat. It's small inside but is clean and has a bit of ambiance, not too fancy and not like a fast/quick joint. Food was really tasty, great portions, reasonably priced and prompt service. read more

Good place for a romantic evening. Food was not anything special. Dessert selections of pumpkin pie, plain cheesecake, chocolate cake and rice pudding all looked like they were purchased from Costco. The only dessert that looked like maybe they make in house was the passion fruit mousse. High priced for what you get. Don't ask for anything modified as they either won't do it or charge $2.00 and up for each change. Probably won't go back as many other options available. Had the chicken parmesean and fettuccine alfredo. Nothing special but decent enough. $70.00 bill so bring your wallet. You will need it. read more

We drove over an hour to experience this restaurant for lunch. I am half Azorian Portuguese (my grandparents met in a dairy in the 1920's within 30 miles of this restaurant where they both worked). I really appreciate the very small handful of restaurants that honor and educate others about the cuisine and heritage of the Azorian islands which I was lucky to visit many years ago. I ordered the Bacalau (salt cod). I appreciate that they let me know upon my ordering that it would take 25 min and suggested that we order an appetizer to hold us over. My husband ordered the thin pork chops. We ordered a simple fresh cheese appetizer which includes both slices of their corn meal and dinner rolls. We both prefer the corn meal bread as it is light and fluffy. The bacalau came out super hot and had a slight piri piri spicy bite. All good. I just wish they would have used a little less olive oil which overpowered the dish. The oil was way too heavy and buried the flavor. Hubby's pork chop with egg was good. He said it was a little dry but when we switched dishes, I thought it was fine and reminded me of my Ava's (Portuguese in grandma) pork dish. read more

Food and service was absolutely amazing. The server was on top of it and it was a busy evening for him. We sat outside and soon as we Got our food the flies swarmed us but since we're from here we're use to the flies. We will for sure be returning. PERFECT for date night or even a family night out. read more

This restaurant often gets mistaken as a hotel, just by the grandeur of the building itself. The food was amazing. From the appetizers- linguica bites, wings, fries... to my main course- shrimp pasta.... And the the rice pudding was the best I've ever tasted!! The waitress was very attentive, and we had a large party. It felt like we were eating a traditional meal at my mother in-laws. So fantastic!! Will be going many more times!!! read more

A real hometown restaurant, which serves five-star meal's. Owners are very pleasant people and always on site.

We ate there for the first time last night. The casual ambiance was warm and inviting. The food was delicious and portions were huge; even my 20 year old son, who has a bottomless pit for a stomach, was stuffed and took leftovers home. Prices for regular entrees were moderate $25-$30. Prices were higherthe spectacular specials ($63 for 1/2 pound lobster with 12 oz Prime beef steak), but very much in line with the quality of the offering and the very large portions. We will definitely be back! read more
