    Old Fashion burger

    I would actually say NO stars. Bought 2 burgers, 2 chili cheese and a BLT. Wow! Worst food ever. No taste and I've never eaten cardboard but I think I did tonight. Never been to this establishment and will not return. This was my experience amd maybe not for others. But very very disappointing

    So this is the second time I've tried this place. The people working have always been nice and helpful. They're getting good help. The food not so much. It's not bad tasting or totally horrible - but it feels like the flavor is missing. The burger I had was cooked fine but the flavor was not there - it wasn't bad - just more like not strong enough - like flavor lite. The vanilla milkshake I had with the burger tasted watered down- need more vanilla. The second time I went I ordered a root beer freeze. The freeze was nice and cold - which is great on a hot summer day - but the root beer flavor - kinda MIA ( Missing In Action). The root beer flavor was very light - it tasted like the recipe would call for four pumps of syrup but only one pump was used. The flavor definitely needs to be bumped up - just plain disappointing. Ambiance was lonely - very quiet

    I'm on a search for the best burger in Manteca. I ordered a double classic hamburger combo. My burger had good meat flavor. I also liked my burger layering order. Crinkle cut fries were crispy. The service was ideal. The inside dining area was clean.

    New management here at the Foster free in Manteca and so far it has been 100% improvement longer hours better service food is even better. They open until 10 PM every day now hopefully they'll date their hours if you were getting the foster freeze hamburgers before and they were extremely small just FYI now they're back to the correct size huge and getting really good food for not a lot of money.! the guy I believe he's Filipino that works there. I don't know his name so that's why I'm putting it out there like that is awesome. He's been there since the last owner is always great always attentive and he's even better now with the right management and ownership will be back soon.

    To the owners of this location. Please sell. You obviously do not care. The manager should be fired. I don't blame the employees. They are obviously not trained well. The food here is absolutely disgusting. I have also visited this location for a soft serve. It was also not good. It was melting as it was handed to me. I couldn't eat it fast enough as it melted and ended up throwing it away. The Foster Freeze in Tracy is the bomb. Go there instead.

    Love the classic burger stand feel.

    The old school feel of a hamburger stand adds something that a drive thru or fast casual over priced crap can't recreate. We live in a world of pumping out volume and quantity over quaility. "Stop and smell the roses" was a saying I've heard alot as a child but now I know what it means. I stopped and smelled the hamburgers and theses burger stands in small towns on road trips are a piece of history. Foster freeze is more commercial then other walk up restaurants but they do it well. They just need to streamline its menu and not have it so hard to order so the cook can make the food easier as well. Now that I think of it, this was the fast casual originator where you pull up sit down, relax and enjoy the food.

    Fish and Chips, plus drink for $9.85
    Nobuyuki S.

    I was ready for fish but didn't have the money to go to one of the Chinese restaurants that serve fish in the area. I decided to try this place because it was close to the skate park and others in the chain have been okay, if a little expensive. They had a fish & chips combo and I ended up ordering that instead of a burger. The people working there were really helpful and you could tell that they were genuine in their interest to get you what you wanted. It took a little while for the food, which is typical. I'm patient when getting something special. Sadly, it was very, very oily, as if the fryer oil had not been changed for days. It also seemed that the fish might have thawed at one point and had been re-frozen. Maybe, they just aren't busy enough. I want to return some time to try their burgers.

    Mold on my Hamburger
    mylaine p.

    There was mold on my burger. I ordered a kids meal and other things. Thank god I checked the burger before I gave it to my kid and saw the mold. I called asked for refund because when food comes in contact with mold spores ALL is contaminated. They told me to go back for the refund. I drove 2 miles home and another 2miles back and I brought my burgers back to show the mold they refused a full refund and was extremely rude.

    This poop food is not ment to be served it will make you vomit. DO NOT EAT. The ice cream will give you a stomach ache. The burgers will make you vomit just by looking at it.

    The Mangy Moose is exactly the kind of place I love stumbling across. It has a genuine old-school…read morediner feel that you just don't get from the big chain restaurants anymore. The place is narrow, with a long counter running down the length of it and additional seating tucked away in the back. Grab a seat at the counter and the grill is literally right on the other side, so you get a front-row seat to the action while your breakfast is being made. And honestly, the entertainment is half the experience. The cooks and wait staff are constantly joking, talking, and giving each other a hard time. Their friendly banter is so natural that I found myself wondering if this was a family-run business. Whether it is or not, they definitely have that kind of chemistry. They also seemed to know just about every regular who walked through the door. Between the conversations, laughter, open grill, and familiar faces, I couldn't help thinking I'd somehow wandered onto an episode of Cheers, only instead of sitting at the bar with a beer, I was at the counter with coffee and a seriously impressive breakfast. I ordered The Moose Omelet, and apparently the moose isn't just there for decoration. This thing is a beast. Four eggs packed with crisp bacon, linguica, sausage, ham, green onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms, and thin-sliced potatoes that reminded me of scalloped potatoes, all folded into the omelet and blanketed with melted cheddar cheese. Their homemade pico was delicious and went perfectly with the omelet. What I liked most about The Mangy Moose is that it doesn't feel manufactured or overly polished. It's a real neighborhood diner with character, generous food, friendly people, and the kind of atmosphere that's becoming harder and harder to find. I may have walked in as the new guy, but it definitely feels like the kind of place where, after a few visits, everybody really would know your name. I'll be back. Five stars.

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. The ambiance was great with Contemporary jazz playing. I like jazz so it was delightful.

The restaurant is connected to (or at least shares a building with) the casino, so parking can be a little tricky. Most of the lot was full when we arrived, and I ended up parking on the street. Inside, it's really cute. They have a great wine display right when you walk in, a cozy dining area, and a small outdoor patio that looked like a nice spot to sit. Service was good. Nothing over the top, but friendly and exactly what you'd expect. The menu sounded fantastic, which made me really excited. We ordered oysters, lobster bisque, filet mignon, scallop pasta, lobster mac and cheese, and I had an Old Fashioned. The oysters and bisque were both okay, the filet and pasta were decent, but honestly nothing really stood out. The biggest disappointment was the lobster mac and cheese. If you love lobster mac like I do and always order it when it's on the menu, I'd skip this one. It wasn't really mac and cheese at all. The sauce didn't taste cheesy, the presentation wasn't appealing, and it ended up being one of my least favorite versions I've had.

I'm guessing it's too much moisture to cook down all those veggies, in which case, put less veggies! The toppings should all be cooked! I'm leaving this review not only to inform you but to remind myself when I go back in 6 months! Also the wings were too vinegary. Pork belly bites were delish, service was fast and friendly.
