I was fortunate enough to walk in here tonight. I broke from the norm and ordered the Lobster and shrimp ravioli alfredo. I ordered their bread and butter. With their house cab. OMG So good. And for dessert I had a Woodford old-fashioned.. Thank you everything from the violence, staff friendliness, how clean the place is and how friendly everyone is. I drove out of my way from Sacramento to enjoy tonight's dinner.. Sincerely, thank you TJ read more

Food was delicious. This is a hidden gem in Tracy. The food was a San Francisco flavor which is lovely away from the city. The restaurant is a small venue but the service was amazing. The prime rib bites and the pork chop were so goooood. It's a must restaurant to eat if you're in Tracy, CA read more

EXCELLENT SERVICE from our waiter. The kind of service that all restaurants should hold their standards to. I went in for a lunch meeting and ordered the chopped salad. It was delicious. The restaurant was very comfortable with a calm ambiance, and the staff were spending their down time decorating the restaurant for the holidays. It's was a thoughtful gesture and very appreciated. Everything looked great. They really went the extra mile to accommodate me by hanging my coat. I was so impressed because many restaurants don't accommodate guests who'd like to keep their coats safe. I would highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be back.

I don't even mind paying money for great food and M&J is pretty much always on point-- but this tiny little piece of cheesecake cost $14. I ordered it to go, and I didn't think to look in the bag before I left because why would I?? It's a slice of cheese cheesecake. I ordered a slice not a slither. For $14 I think you can definitely do better. I'm taken back by the size. I do eat here pretty often so outside of this- experiences have been very good. Mannnnn! read more

M & J Bistro - Banana pudding cheesecake! Taste amazing. I'm not sure what this is but I ordered a slice and it's more like a slither for a $14. - New American Near Me - Tracy, California

Had dinner there recently and enjoyed the food, drinks and overall vibe. A little bit too pricey though in my opinion.

Late post from a few days ago, our dinner was absolutely phenomenal!! My daughter and I were visiting family in Tracy, we are from Arizona and I could not be more impressed with the food and our server Jennifer! She was incredibly engaging and knew the menu like the back of her hand! She answered all of my questions and made sure all of my special requests were met. I'm a very picky eater and not only did she accommodate me, but she did it with a huge smile which is very rare. My daughter said your Chilean Salmon is the best she's ever had, that's quite a compliment coming from her. We will be back when we're in the area again so thank you team! Keep up the great work!!! read more

Great food and friendly staff! Just a bit stingy on the air conditioning. Cocktails are good.

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! read more

I can't believe I haven't left a review yet! Probably my favorite place in Tracy! The food is amazing! I with I could have the thick pork chop every day of my life! Oh and Shaved Potatoes. If you know you know. Very chill space! I need to hang out more at the bar during football season. The way the staff checks in and makes you feel at home.. chef kiss! Not telling you to order light for your main, and the desserts are bomb! read more

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! read more

The food was blah... nothing special to it. For $35 pasta shrimp and lobster ravioli pasta, it tasted and looked like a microwaveable tv dinner. My husband ordered the $38 pork chop and it was just ok. The service was good but the food was very disappointing. read more

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. read more

The best restaurant in Tracy!!!! Variety, full bar and friend staff. The Chopped Salad is my absolute go to!

Reservations at 7 pm for a small birthday party and was seated and was just given water which tasted like dish water btw that was strike 1 sat for about 30 minutes and someone finally asked what were we drinking took 15 minutes to get our drinks sat for 20 minutes and finally got asked what are we ordering for food by 8pm By that time we had already googled another place to spend our money! The owner was there walking around never greeted us so we just paid for our drinks and took our business elsewhere and on the way out the birthday girl had a bag of gifts and the owner asks "what's In the bags"? What a joke! Horrible service!! Never coming back read more

To be such a quaint spot in Tracy, the food was amazing the service was great. There are many wonderful things that I can say about the place very unassuming, but I strongly recommend it when you get a chance to go. read more

We started our dinner with their signature prime rib bites and they were absolutely delicious. The beef was very tender and the blue cheese sauce paired with it perfectly. read more

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!!! read more

M & J Bistro - Shaved potatoes. - New American Near Me - Tracy, California

This is an awesome restaurant with service, menu and great atmosphere. The bar is perfect, wine selection is excellent as well as extraordinary cocktails. Jay and his staff/crew are amazing. I am highly recommending this restaurant as a must visit for time and time again dining, drinks and atmosphere. read more

I dont usually like to compare, but this place reminds me of Flemings, Morton's or Ruth's Chris. You'll get the same quality, IMO. As always, I started with a smoked Old Fashioned. This was extremely strong. I didnt taste any simple syrup at all. I'm okay with that, but just be prepared. They didnt use a large cube or ball of ice. This was the best clam chowder I've tried in California. I can tell it's fresh and homemade. There are large chunks of clams, potatoes, and celery in this. I had a cup which came with a slice of French sourdough bread. It was absolutely perfect. I had the Walnut Oil Bistro Bruchette which was a tomato, fresh mozzarella , feta cheese and topped with a vinaigrette dressing. A bit messy, but very good. My entree came with a side salad and it wasn't anything special but it is perfect in size to hold me over until the entree came. The main attraction tonight was the lobster and filet mignon. It sat on a bed of thick mashed potatoes, long sliced carrots and fresh green beans. I had it medium rare (as you should), and holy ... SMOKES, did it ever deliver. Tender, juicy and incredibly flavorful. The veggies were crisp and cooked to perfection. The lobster had a nice layer of seasoning on top and came with a butter dip. I decided to treat my mouth once again by ordering a crepe with ice cream inside and topped with whipped cream along with chocolate sauce. It turned out to be too much to finish but it was rich, decadent and the perfect way to finish the night. There was a bit of caramel on the plate as well. Customer service 5/5 Parking 5/5 Time to be acknowledged 5/5 Time to be served 4/5 Brian, Jason and Julianna were all awesome throughout the visit. read more

Stopped in for lunch with two co-workers. The greeting was top notice and they remembered me and my friends. The food was great, and for lunch it was quiet, and we could get work done. I have been there several times and the food was excellent. Ask for recommendations, we all did and each dish was perfect. read more

We were visiting from Hawaii and my sister brought us here. Loved this beautiful upscale bistro. Great service, clean and lovely decor, relaxing environment, great selection of libations. Great choices for starters and meal. We tried the salads, bone marrow, chowder, sea bass, ravioli with lobster n shrimp and the pork chop. Everything was hot , seasoned perfectly and tender delicious. I ate my plate and picked off of everyone else's. The desserts were tasty and generous! We were stuffed! Jason the owner was gracious to greet us and ask how our meal was. I noticed he greeted all his guests which I thought was wonderful welcome of friends n family to a place he put his heart and soul into. Our wait staff was on point and went above par in service. Go eat there and celebrate all special.occasions and just when you want great food!! read more

The food was fine. I wont remember it unless I'm puking in a few hours. The service, while very attentive, was incredibly obnoxious. Servers were loud and somewhat awkward. I would return knowing what i know but i don't think i would show this place to anyone as if it were special. read more

Had a ministry group bring me here for dinner and decided to order the cheapest thing I could order since I was not paying so tried the shrimp and fettuccine . I did not read the description well enough and turned out to be an Alfredo sauce which I like but was thinking I ordered a garlic sauce. Alfredo sauce was good not too rich and at the bottom so you could get as much or as little as you want it on the noodles above it. Pasta was perfectly cooked and so were the shrimp. I had a Caesar side salad and the dressing was really creamy and flavorful. The table ordered a shrimp appetizer which was good and potato chips that were ok but not great. Table had lots of rib eyes ordered which in hindsight looked really good and were enjoyed by my companions so maybe that was the way to go. Great service and open kitchen that is always cool to be able to spectate. The food was plated nicely and the party that I was in very much enjoyed the drinks and dinner. Menu says no phones allowed so did not take a picture but will come back and try the steak and after seeing reviews the clam chowder also. read more

Very Hospitable owner & good food. This was a few years back. I went with family & a friend. Loved it

My kids wanted to take us out and celebrate tonight so they decided to take us here. Wish I read reviews before hand but completely forgot to. If I did I wouldn't of ordered the prawns fettuccine. It was very dry and needed more sauce and was a small portion. My husband ordered the m&j ribeye and it was too dry for his tasting. We did order the appetizer Prime Bites but we never received them and we were charged for them. We asked about them twice and they never came out. read more

We came to dine last Thursday night at M & J to celebrate my wife getting an award at work. We love the family atmosphere here. It's a family owned business which my wife & I try and always try and give our money to if we have options. My wife got the surf & turf, I got the eggplant linguini, and my kids got the Mac n cheese/Chicken tenders, & pizza/Chicken tenders. We also split a salad, & fried green beans, & clam chowder. The food is always excellent and comes out fresh & piping hot. They give exceptional service, and are super attentive & friendly. We'll keep coming back. read more

M & J Bistro - Dessert platter - New American Near Me - Tracy, California

M & J's bistro was an incredible find, and I hate that it took us two years to finally eat there! Their menu is a very solid steakhouse + American dining menu, cleverly divided into Steaks, Italian, Southern, Vegetarian sections, named for neighborhoods in San Francisco. If it surprises you to find such a gem located in a strip mall anchored by Big Lots & Ace Hardware, well, us too. We were skeptical but I had been so impressed by their online menu and Facebook presence - and the reality was so much better! It's a white-tablecloth booths setup with dark woods and stone interior that still feels casual because of the familial banter and friendliness of the staff -- so you wouldn't feel underdressed, but still felt like you were out for a treat. I cannot say enough good things about the owner and the staff. He was out working hard in the dining room, greeting everyone and generally offering the Southern hospitality that we sorely miss from back home. The kitchen staff looked incredibly professional, as did the bar and table staff - those bartenders definitely known what they are doing, even if the cocktail menu isn't quite as trendy as downtown. But where they really shine are the steak and American dishes. My husband got the most perfectly executed ribeye we've had in years. They managed to sear it beautifully, rendering the fat and keeping it extra rare inside, a feat of skill. The asparagus and potatoes were incredible. You could tell the steak theme throughout their menu -- the prime rib bits were soo tender and the sauce was delicious, as was the puff pastry. I also just love French Onion soup - it was cold outside and it was clearly from scratch and perfect. I cannot wait to come back - the food is heartier and more elevated than most of the food downtown, and it's just so, so, so friendly here! read more
