    Looking from the outside you won't think there is much beauty inside. But go inside! The prawn fettuccine was amazing! The clam chowder was so good too and the chips! Must get the chips! Service was very nice. They came to the table often to check up on us. Very nice people and the owner was very nice too!

    Had a lovely lunch at this restaurant for Father's Day! All the plates were big, the food was delicious, the atmosphere and the service were really high quality. Our server helped sweeten the strong cocktail for one of us and brought extra salad dressing for another person. We had a spectacular time and will be coming back, 5/5!

    Yum! I had a great time and a delicious meal with my boo for this year's Valentine's Day dinner at M & J's. My boyfriend was already familiar but as a vegetarian and Oakland local, I don't make it to many steak spots--and definitely not many steak spots in Tracy. But it was worth the drive. I forgot to make a reservation, but there was only about a 10-minute wait for us to get our table at 7 on a Saturday, so it was all to the good. The host was super friendly and sweet. After our brief wait, we were seated and I made sure to check in on Yelp so we could get those free Crisp Shaved Potatoes! To drink, I sipped on their current special, the Love Potion, sans grapefruit, while my partner-in-dine kept it classic with a Cadillac Margarita. My boyfriend already knew what he wanted on the ride over: their Teriyaki Steak, which he said was perfect. I initially ordered the Eggplant Neapolitan but just wasn't feeling it. It's a major stack of eggplant and marina on top of a bed of fettuccine that just didn't do it for me. When that sweet host I mentioned from before asked me what he could get to replace it and I said I was good with mashed potatoes and veggies, he was incredibly suspicious. "You're sure you don't want anything else?" Nope. No need. Those mashed potatoes and veggies were so good that next time I'll know what I'm going to get on the ride over, too.

    I've been here countless times and realized I had not given this establishment a review. This is my go to spot for birthdays, Mother's Day etc... The owner Jason is very personable. Brian is in charge and he runs the house smoothly. The food has never failed to satisfy. The shaved potatoes, shrimp chili and the tempura green beans are the best. The lobster ravioli and the Alfredo's are also really good. For lunch, I love the crispy chicken sandwich, that's not on the dinner menu. They have a full bar, they have your typical drinks, your wines, beers and non alcoholic beverages. The ambiance is dressy/casual. It can get a bit loud sometimes but not enough to be disruptive, more people enjoying each others company. A bonus: 5 miles from my house!!!

    The food was excellent but the service was slowed by a extra large birthday group that got there before we did

    Are they gluten free options?

    Yep, I told the waiter about my allergy and had no problems afterward. I ordered the chopped salad, the French onion soup (no crouton), and a gf crepe for dessert.

    Update - 02/12/2026 I brought my mother here for lunch on a…read moreweekday afternoon. We were immediately greeted with a smiling face and lead to our table near the window on the first level. Everything looks the same and the same friendly atmosphere resides. Service is always awesome, and so is the food. This time we both chose the fish and chips lunch which includes 3 good sized pieces of batter dipped fish, and perfectly crispy fries. It was all great. Prior visit - This is a great little place to be for a meal. Totally unassuming from the street and even when you walk up, as it is in a small strip business center off of 11th Street. When I walked in for lunch, I was immediately greeted by a guy behind the bar (which is right at the door) with a smile. I proceeded upstairs to the clean and comfortable 'loft' and grabbed a table along the window so I could see out. The interior is clean and simple, open first floor to second floor ceiling. Great music playing, and just a nice vibe all the way around. Andrea, came by with a smile and greeting, asked if I had any questions, and headed off with my order. I didn't get the bartender's name, but he was just as attentive and super nice, as he came upstairs to my table and described some of the beers he currently has available. Small batch craft beers are good. . . Food: The menu is not so 'typical' as you get to select your protein, the sauce or spice for that protein, then your carb, and your veggie (or make it a salad). Nice choices too. My chicken with Korean BBQ sauce, beer batter fries and grilled Brussels sprouts was good, especially the sprouts. My chicken was on the dry side, but I have a feeling it may have been due to the fact they were managing a party of 15 as well as all the other patrons while I was there. A bit hectic for two people to keep up that pace. I definitely recommend coming to the Upper Room.

    While out shopping, we noticed this corner spot called "The Upper Room Kitchen" and decided to…read morecheck it out. We were promptly greeted and sat near a window. The restaurant was decorated in the style of a pub. Our server was very pleasant and answered our questions about the menu. We tried the chips and queso for starters. The cheese was very creamy and tasty. For our main course my wife ordered the Cajun pasta. She really liked the spices in it. I had the garlic shrimp pasta which I found creamy and flavorful. The portions were generous; we even took some home! I will definitely check out some of their other menu items when I'm in the area again. Thanks Upper Room !

    I had to jump on here today, because I visited Texas Roadhouse in Tracy, California yesterday!…read moreEverything was very much the same, and we know the same is great service., great laughs and a very attentive staff. I would like to highlight my waiter: Angel! He was great...! Smooth demeanor and did not miss a beat. It looks like spys are placed, as a second pair of eyes, so that all customers are not forgotten! Everyone is paying attention...! BAD BOY BILLY SLY

    Mother's Day dinner was a pure shit show with this place. We…read moreknew it'd be busy so we ordered "to go" from the app. First issue: the app does not take orders over $125. We're a big family so I ended up splitting it into 3 orders. Second issue: because I split the order, an item 3 members wanted kept going out of stock. The prime rib 16oz then the 14oz then the 12oz (only 2 of the 3 went thru on the order). Third issue: I went a few minutes just before the "scheduled" pickup time to pay the orders (app only took Apple Pay, giftcard, or pay at pickup). At this point I haven't gotten a call or text about my order. It's my turn up to the counter ("to go" pickup is outside) and ask about any possible available prime rib and she says they're out. I figure ok at least we got the 2 for the to-go order. I informed her that I have 3 to-go orders from the app. She goes to check on the orders and returns to inform me that they are COMPLETELY out of prime rib and had cancelled them from one of the orders. So basically 2 family members weren't getting dinner. ME being one of them. On mf MOTHER'S DAY! I kept my cool and proceeded to order dinner replacements. At this point we were 20min past the "scheduled" pickup time of 7:45pm and the orders still weren't ready. I asked the gal if I had ordered in the morning for pickup for dinner, would that have guaranteed the prime rib? She flat out said "Nope. We run out whenever we run out." Basically the app does not match up to their inventory and they don't hold anything for online/app orders. It's all first-come-first-served regardless of when you order. In other words the app is useless. Fourth issue: It seemed we had finally gotten the orders straight. All combined orders totaled over $300. I asked if I could get a discount since they cancelled part of my order without letting me know. They gave me my $12 appetizer free. I asked if I could get 10% off since the replacement dinners were more. About another $10 off. I thought whatever $22 off and still paid over $300 combined. Fifth issue: I asked how long for the order with the replacement steaks and she said should be quick about 20-30min. That seemed quick for how busy they were. So I waited. Not that I had a choice. 45 MINUTES LATER... Our food is finally ready and I'm still composed. I am at the counter and get the 3 huge bags. I start looking through them to try and make sure I have everything cause again it was multiple orders and I live 25-30min away. It was 9pm and so I'm trying to quickly go through the bags. Half the containers are soggy and cold. I think these might have been ready when I got there, but they're wanted me to wait until everything was ready. During the chaos the gal behind the counter asks me to move over cause they're backed up so she can help the next person. I tell her "I waited. They can wait." The lighting outside sucks. I can barely make out what's in each container. She again tells me to move to the side. I'm annoyed at this point and say "Ma'am I'll move when I'm ready." She calls over some shift mgr and tells her I won't move. That B of a mgr slams the window shut. At that point I was like F it. There's not enough room or light for me to check everything so I leave. Last issue: of course a bunch of sides are missing and some made incorrectly. By the time we tally up the damage the place was closed and no one is answering the phone. Cold, soggy food. Unhappy family. And a pissed off mom... on Mother's Day. I usually genuinely like Texas Roadhouse. Food is good. Service is ok, but yesterday they were crap through and through. Going today to get a refund of all the missing sides and extras that we never got.
