Young lady came over to check on me and other folks often. Ambiance was you hands deep in the boil with a bit of sauces splashing as you break the crab legs open. Music was playing i think it was pop music. Total with tip was $118.67 . One more thing. The sauce was a bit salty is all.

I recommend making a reservation ahead of time, especially on weekends, as wait times can get long or they may not have any availability at all. I don't like how dark it is inside, so I prefer sitting near the front by the bar, where there's more lighting. They offer some special and seasonal items, but I've mostly enjoyed their wood-fired pizzas, espcially the Prosciutto and Arugula. I've also enjoyed their braised short ribs, skirt steak, and buttermilk chicken sandwich. For brunch, I usually get the Short Rib Poutine and house-made doughnuts, but I noticed the poutine was no longer on the menu during my most recent visit. Their furikake fries and deviled eggs are also good. Overall, a decent restaurant for brunch, lunch, and dinner.

They've been around for over 30 years so that's a statement on its own. Place is big (lots of seating), bright with natural light. Service casual with a nice wine/cocktail menu, cloth napkins and bread service. The early evening visit I went was super quiet and it seemed like the servers knew all the regulars in there. I like that vibe. Glass of Pinot Gris ($10/4.5*) Anytime I travel around and dine I try find if a local wine is available. I saw they had this unique white wine from a Lodi winery so I immediately went with that. Cool, crisp, slight stone fruit aroma with a minerally finish. Love those traits in a white wine with seafood. Cajun Shrimp ($20/3.5*) Upon arrival for the price I initially thought it was an iffy portion for the price. 6 smallish shrimps (1 n a half bites per shrimp). Very simply prepared, grilled lightly with just a smidge of cajun seasoning then served with 2 sauces (a cocktail and tartar). But as I ate these, I did start to like them more and more. The seasoning was not bold but did work well with the grill flavor. And a dab of creamy tartar sauce complimented the spiced-grill flavor nicely, and it paired super nice with the pinot gris. These ended up being better than I had initially perceived. Clam Chowder (4.5*) I chose a cup of chowder as it comes with an entree. A salad can also be had if you wanted. But I found their chowder to be quite ideal. Perfect creamy texture without being too thick and stodgy, and great presence of potatoes and tender clams. The flavor could be more briny/clam-y but that's just my preference. Great with a dab of Tabasco and a dip from their hearty table bread. Snapper Filet ($24/4*) Thin filet seasoned very mildly if any at all. Chose for it to be grilled versus fried or sauted. But you have choices here which I applaud. But it was so mild that I took a half pat of butter and melted it on top of the filet, sprinkled with salt and a squeeze of lemon. Totally amped up the dish. Next time I think I'll try a more involved dish like a seafood pasta. Served with nicely steamed veggies and red potatoes which I find comforting with simple seafood. Too full for dessert and their offerings did look promising. I visit my retired aunt and uncle in this town a couple times per year. I think I'm gonna include this place as part of our options for dining outs. See ya again Bud's, well played.

Lunch time so she chooses Bud's a long standing restaurant located in the Lincoln Center. Walking in and looking around, you get that old school vibe where a more mature crowd would dine for lunch and talk business. We were greeted and sat immediately, followed by waitress coming by to take our drink order. We placed our order: Fish & Chips (no coleslaw) for me and my wife chose the catfish platter. Restaurant provided bread (supposedly sourdough but couldn't tell by smell or taste) and butter prior to our meal. Food arrives and my fish looked (like fish sticks) & smelled like something out of a frozen box, luckily after a bite the fish was fresh but unseasoned. And because it was unseasoned, the only thing I could taste was the lemon I squeezed on top. My fries were salted which helped . My wife had a nice piece of fried catfish that was unseasoned too with steamed veggies and a side of rice that was very dry. Our waitress kept tabs on us during stay which was probably the highlight of our visit. Not sure if this was an off day for their kitchen but when a staple like Fish & Chips at a seafood restaurant is excused poorly IMO then it's time to go back to the drawing board and hold the kitchen to a higher standard.

My annual tradition is going to The Crab Zone for my birthday. The Crab Zone is one of the original…read morecrab restaurants in Stockton before others started popping up here and there. I've tried most of them and they just can't match the creamy garlic butter sauce on the crab that The Crab Zone has perfected. I always order the Dungeness crab (garlic butter of course) and my daughter ordered the traditional and zesty, Spicy Cajun sauce. I have to say, the crabs were pretty good in size, very meaty and very tasty. We ordered the fried calamari for an appetizer which tasted freshly made. We both ordered the peach lemonade that had fresh pieces of chopped peaches in the drink. Very tasty. The crab comes with choices of corn, potatoes and sausage that you expect in a crab boil. The hot link sausage is my favorite. I also ordered a side order of the garlic noodles. I love garlic noodles but these are a little thin and dry and don't preserve as well when cooled down. I would love to try the shrimp, mussels and clams but the crab was more than enough. The service is spectacular. The owner is so nice. Her kindness makes her my secret crush....but let's just keep that between us. The ambience is trendy, sporty, divey -just perfect for the locals and regulars. They were playing a nice soundtrack and had the World Cup playing on the tv. While everything about The Crab Zone is spectacular - the Dungeness crab is a bit pricey. $250 was the price tag (not including tip) and about $40 more than last year. But no complaints because The Crab Zone is delicious.
