The man behind the counter/kitchen area simply pointed us toward a table--no greeting, no welcome, and just an overall unfriendly and uninviting feeling. We ordered a burger and a chicken sandwich. Both were just okay--nothing terrible, but definitely nothing that made us want to come back or order them again. Lodi is such a cute town with so many great food options, and unfortunately, this one just didn't stand out for us. We probably won't return. If you're looking for a good burger, I'd recommend checking out Lodi Beer instead.

Wow. SQZ Burger has been open for nearly three years in Lodi and I never noticed it. I know I've…read moredriven past it many times, but I guess their signage is too modest compared to the huge "IDOL BEER WORKS" on the other end of the building. I figured it was just another iteration of the original (now long gone) Squeeze Inn in Sacramento, and I was right. I don't think the various locations are franchises, but are more likely independently owned, and the quality varies from location to location. The one that used to be in West Sac, for instance, was terrible, which might explain why it's been gone for years. And the mid-town was also a resounding MEH, and also gone. There's nothing at any version of Squeeze Inn/Burger that I want more than just a basic Squeeze (or in this case, SQZ) with Cheese, though. I don't want a taco, nor a BLT, and especially not chicken strips. I want that which made the brand famous. A cheeseburger with all the traditional toppings and a cheese skirt just dripping cheese grease off it. SQZ Burger delivers the goods. The cheese skirt was just the right size, not too big, not too small. At one point in my life I would have said that there's no such thing as a cheese skirt that's too big, but a couple of years ago I had a cheese skirt that was so big that I felt sick afterward from all the cheese grease! In addition to the just right amount of cheese, the burger had lettuce, tomato, pickles, red onion, and a healthy schmear of mayo and mustard. Damn near a perfect burger. The owner was running the register on my visit, and when she brought my food out, she asked if I wanted a side of ranch. I'm the kind of guy who would drink ranch dressing if I could, so of course I accepted. I didn't even ask - It was nice of her to offer! There's a throughline from the original Squeeze Inn on Power Inn Road to SQZ Burger, too. The father of the husband half of the H/W ownership team owned the original location. Brandon and Katie ran the Galt location for several years, and have now brought the goodness to a Lodi brick and mortar spot. I'll definitely be back.

I had the western bacon cheeseburger with fries and a strawberry shake. These burger was full of flavor and BIG! Not sure exactly how they make their fries, but they're amazing. And my strawberry shake was good also. We had about 45 people all land at the same time, and SQZ was able to quickly get us all served in short order. I do love the vibe of both SQZ & IDOL. It was a nice little drive both ways with an epic food stop in between.

The Hot Chicken Sliders were flavorful and paired so well with the special sauce. The Mac N Cheese was decent. The Strawberry Lemonade was absolutely refreshing. The inside of the restaurant was clean. There were a good number of tables and chairs available for customers, indoors and outdoors. Nash + Tender Lodi makes solid chicken slider sandwiches. I recommend stopping by.

We've been wanting to try this spot for a while, and since their other location is closed in Sacramento on Tuesdays, we finally made the trip to Lodi and wow, it was absolutely worth it the wait and Abdul that helped us was cool. He had a good sense of humor. We were coming back from Monterey and all of us were hungry. We ordered quite a feast: (3) chicken tikka wraps without lettuce 8 piece chicken tikka 8 piece chicken malai 6 regular naans + 1 garlic naan Tandoori fish order Tandoori chicken pizza Chicken tikka masala rice plate Every single item was flavorful, mouth watering, and cooked perfectly. The chicken tikka and malai were tender and packed with flavor. The naans were soft and fresh, and the chicken tikka masala rice plate had that rich, comforting sauce that was creamy smooth you can't stop eating and dipping your naan into. The tandoori fish was a standout smoky, well seasoned, and tender. They give a lot of meat inside the wraps. The tandoori chicken pizza... let's just say we couldn't even wait to get home. We ate a slice in the car because the smell alone was too tempting. That's how good it was. We took everything to go, the quality was top tier! You can tell they care about their food and flavors and wanting their customers happy. Abdul kept letting us know the status of our order and took care of us with chutney and ranch. If you've been thinking about trying Smokey Grill, don't wait.... this place delivers on every level! Ask for Abdul, he is down to earth nice guy. 5 stars!! Thanks Abdul!! Photos are attached

Luckily the ceilings are high so the noise isn't as bad. We were seated right away. The place looks super cool, a lot of things to look at, you can tell this place has been here for a while. They also have beer you can take home in those big glass jugs, and I think they also had merch by the front. The restroom was super unique. I am happy it was kept so clean. I got steak and sweet potato fries. The portions were huge! I think I only ate half my food. The sweet potato fries were super good. My bf said his burger was also good. My favorite was my root beer float. I am happy I noticed the huge sign on the wall that they had house made root beer. Very delicious, I would get that again. The beer they has was also very good, they had a lovely selection. Service was good, even in a busy night, we didn't wait too long for everything. Highly recommend!

To share around the table, we split the following: - Crab Cakes - Sticky Toffee Pudding The salad and entree I ordered for myself included: - Heirloom Beets & Melon - Classic Beef Wellington First and foremost, the salad was absolutely fresh and palatable. I was not used to enjoying a salad with beets + watermelon, so now, I am a fan. The crab cakes were flavorful, especially paired with the house-made lemon aioli sauce. The Beef Wellington dish was divine. The meat was super tender, the brown sauce was dynamite and the vegetables + mashed potatoes were the perfect complements. Lastly, the sticky toffee pudding was great, as the dessert was not overly sweet. The green apples added on top provided a nice balance of tartness against the richness. Junior was my server. I appreciated his warm, friendly disposition. He was very kind and attentive the entire time. The Oxford Kitchen and Gastropub has delectable British food. I am so glad that this restaurant is located in Lodi, which is super close to my hometown. I'd definitely return.

Melissa, the owner, could not have been more welcoming. She shared that she and her husband are UOP grads themselves, which made the visit feel even more special given why we were in town. The food was outstanding. The pork schnitzel sandwich was cooked perfectly: crispy, well-seasoned, and clearly made with care. The deviled eggs were some of the best we've had in a long time, creamy with just the right kick. It's clear this is a place run with real pride, and it means a lot to support a local, family-run spot like this in Lodi, especially one with such genuine UOP roots. If you're ever dropping off (or picking up) a Tiger, make time to stop in. We'll definitely be back on our next visit to campus.

Now was a good as time as any! As we entered, there was a sign to meet at the bar for seating. The waitress/server came out after a bit of a wait and according to my friend, it's usually a longer wait time around lunch for someone to come out and seat you. I was recommended to try the pork schnitzel by my friend and it did not disappoint. I got my sandwich with a side salad. We also ordered the deviled eggs to share. My friend has never had the deviled eggs before and pleasantly surprised and delighted that the eggs were absolutely delicious. They're very smooth, eggs were cooked perfectly and the touch of bacon was just right. It does come with a small helping of mixed greens topped with pickled onions. The pork schnitzel was crispy & crunchy due to the breaded pork loin, came with pickled onions, slaw and the chipotle aioli sauce. The sauce does have a bit of a kick to it but it wasn't too spicy, well, at least for me. My salad was very good too. It was colorful and had an interestingly tangy dressing on it. It paired well with the sandwich. One was spicy and the salad was tangy but refreshing. My friend also ordered the pork schnitzel with beef tallow fries. I tried some of her fries and they were thin but still crispy. Overall the food at West Oak Nosh was so good and delicious! Service was good, prompt and our server was attentive despite being by herself. I think this place is great for the summer to have a drink and eat. Will have to come back for the drinks!

I came here because I wanted to support a local business instead of going to In-N-Out, but…read moreunfortunately the experience didn't justify the price. We ordered a regular burger combo and a kid's cheeseburger combo. There were barely any customers, yet it took almost 40 minutes to get our food. The burgers weren't bad, but they also weren't anything that stood out, especially considering the cost. I even left a tip because I wasn't expecting such a long wait, and my total ended up being almost $32. I don't mind paying more for good food and good service, but when the wait is that long and the food is just average, it's hard to justify. I really wanted to like this place and support a local business, but this visit just didn't do it for me. Next time, I'll probably stick with In-N-Out.

This place was stumbled upon when we were looking for a place that would have chicken sandwich…read morewhich was comparable to the ones we always have in the bay area. This place was small, with only a few table to dine in outside. We came into the window to place our orders. There were only 2 people working inside this tiny place (a young lady and the old lady who cooks the orders). Although the window was only separated by a screen door, I have to keep repeating my orders which only consists of chicken burger, curly fries, onion rings, 2 cheeseburger, and 2 drinks. It would help if she would take off her earbuds out of her ear so she can focus on the orders because she messed up names and orders of 2 more customers after us even though they repeated their orders and spelled their name multiple times. There was a bit of a wait, but when our food came, it looked ok. It was served on a food paper container. The cheeseburgers were nothing really to rave about. The fries were ok, but I would like if they had other options for toppings like chili or cheese. The chicken burger was the only one that passed our expectations. It tasted somewhat closer to the ones we were looking for so that was a plus. It would also be nice to have fans outside their area if you decide to eat it there since summertime can be hot. Focus on your customers, but if you decide to multitask (like having your ear buds on) make sure you pay attention to their orders, so you get them right.

We were in Lodi for a party and when we saw there was a Nations we had to go. What a disappointment. My wife ordered the classic burger. I don't know if it is tariffs, the cost of beef or just corporate cutting but the beef pattie was half the size I remember but just bland to the taste. The buns looked like they were sourced from some low cost overseas supplier, even the lettuce was chintzy and wilted. Dreams crushed. I ordered the "Two Egger" because who doesn't like breakfast for dinner, am I right ? The disappointment continued. The bacon was thin, overcooked and just cheap tasting. The hash browns were a bit undercooked and the potatoes just tasted a bit off. Not in a spoiled way, just not high quality potatoes. The eggs were fine. We ordered a Strawberry Tart for dessert. The hallmark of Nations. Terrible, just terrible. The crust was soft and soggy. The strawberries were mushy and the whipped cream tasted old. After our meal, the shift lead asked if our meal was okay and if we didn't mind to leave a review. "Are you sure you want me to do that ?" Sorry Lodi, I will not be coming back here.
