Good, solid breakfast diner in Lodi. We drove all the way from Sac because there weren't a lot of…read moreplaces open early morning (6am). Trusting in Yelp reviews, we headed to Lodi's highly rated and popular Avenue Grill. Service was wonderful. Our server (blond lady with glasses) was friendly and chipper and had a very nice demeanor. She was on top of everything. Food came out quickly too. Seemed like the rest of the customers there were local regulars, who knew one another. Cozy, family-friendly vibez. I got the chicken fried steak with crispy potatoes. Good country gravy, seasoned potatoes, and chicken fried steak was delicious. Big portion, enough for leftovers. My husband got the steak & eggs. The steak was a little too dry and under seasoned to my husband's liking. He always orders medium-well, but it was more well. I did agree that it didn't have much flavor. But I had it the next day for leftovers and thought it was good mixed with my gravy and potatoes. So if you're looking for a good traditional breakfast diner, this is probably your spot. I don't think it was worth a drive from Sac, just because there are a lot of similar restaurants, but if you are already in the Lodi area, definitely worth a visit.

We were pretty excited to try Randy's Bistro out after always passing by it for the past couple of…read moremonths. They offer brunch, lunch, and dinner with a lot of specials and themed dining nights that you have to keep up with. Brunch was okay. I think I was expecting a lot from them food-wise, but maybe that was my mistake to do so. Service was really good. Everyone was very welcoming and nice and made sure all of our needs were met. The banana chocolate chip waffles were very good. It is hard to mess up waffles, especially when you can never go wrong with banana and chocolate, and it was exactly what I wanted. I also ordered a side of sausage and you get 3 for $5. The biscuit (though not the traditional shape) was very tasty. Not dry at all and tasted just how you would want a biscuit to taste like. I probably wouldn't order the gravy again. Overall, I'm glad I stopped by to try them out, but I probably wouldn't come back for brunch. Maybe for dinner? Stay tuned!

Friendly, attentive, and made sure we were good the whole time. Now the food? No complaints there. Everything tasted great and definitely felt like it came from a Michelin-rated chef/owner. BUT... the wait time? Whew. I'm pretty sure I went through all five stages of hunger before my plate showed up. At one point I was considering eating the table décor. For a spot with that kind of reputation, I expected the kitchen to move a little quicker. Amazing food, great service--but I lost two stars because I was about two minutes away from ordering an emergency appetizer from somewhere else Still worth checking out--just maybe bring a snack... just in case.

We came for Sunday lunch with family and were seated right away. Our waiter was great -- he checked in on us regularly and even refilled our drinks without us having to ask, which was a nice touch. I ordered the Greek salad with added salmon (+$8) and it was a great choice. The portion was generous and came with a slice of focaccia. The salad had mixed greens, olives, artichokes, feta, and red onion with a really tasty balsamic vinaigrette. Our table also ordered a cheese pizza, Caesar salad wrap, and the chicken pot pie. I had a bite of the pot pie and it was incredible -- definitely ordering that next time. Bonus: they offer a free wine tasting with the purchase of a meal, which is a fun extra. Everyone enjoyed their meal and we'll absolutely be back!

We got the foccicia bread basket as an appetizer and it was really good, herb, olive oil, soft bread like a sponge. The chicken pot pie was excellent, full of flavor, great crust and good filling. I got the French dip, it was probably one of the best I had in a while. The au jus was the best part, thick, flavorful along with a strong creamy horseradish. Service............. Not so much. For a big place that was maybe 40% occupied, it was soooooooooooooooooo slow. One server from what I see, 2 bussers, and 5 others standing around chatting. Took a good 30 mins to get seated (there was tables available), though we got to go to their tasting room, and got a bottle of wine; another 20 mins to get the server's attention after getting seated and probably another 40 for the food to come. That was probably the most irritating.

Service was great, we got our food fairly quickly. We ordered the chicken club, garlic fries, and half tri tip sandwich with a cup of clam chowder.

Clam chowder was also really good, creamy, and big chunks of red potato which I enjoyed. I would definitely come back and try their breakfast.

I ordered a breakfast burrito with chorizo, my friends ordered chicken fried chicken and Chilaquiles, and we got French toast to share. My breakfast burrito did not disappoint. It was really flavorful and the salsa on the side was a good addition to each bite. I did try my friends' choices. The chicken fried chicken was a little lackluster in flavor and the Chilaquiles was on the saucy side. They were OK, but if I were to come back, I would stick with the breakfast burrito. Would definitely come again!

The staff was friendly and was able to find us a seat either inside or outside. We elected to sit outside because the music inside was slightly a little too loud. The staff understood and we got to sit on the patio under the umbrellas for shade. I ordered the BBLT; Bacon Lettuce and Tomato sandwich, with the homemade potato salad. I'm always nervous when ordering a BLT somewhere as some places hardly give much bacon on their sandwich. Not this place however, they loaded my sandwich up with bacon and it was amazing. The potato salad was light, not over salty, or sweet. Just right, where you could season it up however your tastebuds like. We enjoyed our brunch outing and will be back next time in the area.
