The fries volume is high but they're underseasoned. Nostalgia hits heavy here and I am taking that into account that I'm probably bias..... I hate that they have bars on it these days, but I know its 2026 and the homeless element have really taken over nearby. Their east Vallejo location is LOOONG gone believe that is the current Linda Patria location IYKYK. I'll continue to support this location as one of the long standing restaurants that are still around from my childhood. (RIP Princess Garden East and West) Double bacon cheeseburger still hits. Service is good. Ambiance is still okay, its a Vallejo watering hole. Everyone shows up eventually.

Dang, after 16 years, I hate to do this. I'm updating my review of Bud's with a lower rating…read morebecause it's just not the same. I am Vallejo through and through and Bud's has always been one of those places I could count on. But the flavor has changed. I ate my fries and noticed a sweet undertone to them. The bun crumbled and tasted stale and the meat was just bland. After all these years and all my Yelp reviews, this one is probably the hardest to update because I really do love this place and what it has always meant to me. But if I were reading recent reviews, I'd want to know if things had changed.

Pleasantly surprised. Went the next day and ordered breakfast. I had their pancakes and it was probably the best ones I've had in my life. Seriously. Their breakfast plate was really good too. Mind you the restaurant is small, seating is limited. Give them some grace, and you will be rewarded with a delicious meal and great service.

Came for the viral crispy pancakes... left wishing they had been worth the 3 hr journey!!…read more The good: The service was genuinely fantastic. Everyone was kind, patient, knowledgeable, and welcoming despite how busy the restaurant was on a Saturday morning. The atmosphere is cozy, homey, and has that classic neighborhood diner feel. & that vanilla milkshake?! Easily the STAR of the show! It tasted like a REAL old fashioned vanilla ice cream milkshake literally thick, creamy, nostalgic perfection. 100000/10 The not-so-good: There's no waitlist or designated waiting area so the entrance got pretty crowded and it was a little confusing figuring out who was actually next in line. My friend and I waited about 1.5 hours to be seated. Once we got seats at the counter, we could see what looked like one chef handling most of the orders, so it quickly made sense why things were moving slowly. Even then, I have to give the staff credit, they stayed incredibly patient and friendly through the rush! We both ordered the crispy pancake special and our food came out about 45 minutes after ordering. Now...the pancakes. My friend and I specifically came after seeing the viral TikTok video of the crispy pancakes, so expectations were HIGH. Unfortunately, the pancakes fell pretty flat for us The edges were crispy but the pancakes tasted noticeably fried and oil heavy. The centers were pretty soggy and the batter itself didn't have much flavor to balance out the oil. I ordered my eggs over medium, but those were also drenched in oil. The bacon was actually nice and crispy, but by that point, my taste buds had clocked into an oil refinery. Service: 100000/10 Ambiance: Cozy & homey Vanilla milkshake: 100000/10 Food: Unfortunately, 0/10 for me Overall, I'm glad I tried Maggie's for myself. The people and hospitality were wonderful and I'd come back for that milkshake alone if there were no wait! Sometimes TikTok sends you to breakfast heaven and sometimes it sends you on a 3hr quest for a really good classic milkshake!

One of my favorite go-to Vallejo spots. The beers are good, the view is amazing, and the food is…read morealways on point. My favorite lunch order is the Chicken Caesar Wrap - perfect ratio of chicken, lettuce, cheese, dressing, and croutons. The wrap is always well constructed and never falls apart mid-consumption. When I moved away from Vallejo, I thought about this wrap often. For dinner, the wings are always a solid choice - korean bbq, bbq, buffalo - all equally good. The wings are a good size, an even mix of drums and flats, the chicken is always moist and the sauce ratio is perfect. Best wings in Solano County. The M.I.B.C. Burger is another favorite, always cooked as requested, the meat is super flavorful and the toppings - cheese, onion, sauce, and arugula fit perfectly between the brioche bun. This is also served with fries - always served the right amount of crisp. For beers, I prefer to drink the War Bond. However, I can vouch for the fact that all of the beer here is good. Also, all of the staff here are super friendly and helpful. Best neighborhood bartenders, best views of the sunset. We are lucky to have this spot in Vallejo.

The best fries I've ever had anywhere. Fantastic drinks including an amazing bloody mary. Indoor and outdoor seating and a beautiful multilevel patio area. And the cleanest, most pristine bathroom I have ever seen, that bathroom is spotless. Kat remembers our kids names, even between long stretches where we haven't come in for dinner in a minute. David and Kat promised our daughter they would make her a special Very Berry Mac and Cheese for her birthday. Something off menu, made to order just for our 5 year old, and just asked us to call the day before so they could be sure to have the berries. She felt so special and loved by these wonderful people who went out of their way to be kind to a neighborhood kid. AND Kat surprised us with mini berry cupcakes at the end of the meal. This is service you don't get anywhere else. AND the food is the best in Vallejo. If you haven't gone there yet, you are missing out on a true hidden gem.

There's plenty of parking and it's family owned and looks as though it's been around a long time. The interior has a quasi nautical feel to it, with a lot of wood. I came for a party and it was beautifully done. Long tables were set up and it made conversation easy, especially in meeting new people. The food was served in large chafing dishes and it was a buffet. It was smoothly set up and everything went very well. There was a wide variety of offerings from beef to fish to pasta with lot of sides, veggies and all. Service was good and now I feel like returning for a steak dinner some time. Manny's seems to be a good solid place for good food and good times.

Great Waterfront View... Until the View Got an Upgrade Nobody Asked For…read more Manny's Steak House in Vallejo has one thing going it....a beautiful waterfront view. Unfortunately, my scenic dining experience took an unexpected turn when the human landscape in my line of sight became more memorable than the actual scenery. Between the red hair, the neck tattoos, the questionable hand tattoo, a wardrobe situation that seemed to be hanging on for dear life, and a smile that looked like it had lost a long battle with dental hygiene, I found myself wishing I'd booked a table facing the parking lot instead. I came for steak, waterfront scenery, and a relaxing meal. Instead, I got an unforgettable side show that wasn't on the menu. My recommendation: Manny's, please keep the steaks sizzling and the waterfront views unobstructed. I paid for dinner, not an unexpected episode of What in the Vallejo Is Going On? The steak might have been the main course, but the people-watching was definitely the most seasoned part of the evening.

When I got there, the cashier gave me their business card and suggested to call next time to avoid extra charges from DoorDash. I didn't order a drink at first, but when I got there I wanted a bottle of water. The cashier was very nice and she said I didn't have to pay for the water. I went with their Southern Fried Chicken Sandwich that came with criss-cut fries. The sandwich was amazing as it featured two crispy, juicy chicken strips, lettuce, pickles, and special sauce. Such great flavor; and the crispness of the chicken was excellent. The fries were pretty nice and well seasoned. I'm not in Vallejo often, but would definitely consider them again next time I'm here. And from the looks of their menu, they seem to have more quality items to choose from.

I ordered the oxtails, rice and gravy and collard greens. The oxtails were mid. The were a little tight and light skinned meaning they needed to brown a little more. There was not enough gravy for the rice. The collard greens were mid also. Ambiance: The restaurant was nothing special but lets face it -- we dont go to black soul food restaurants for ambiance. We go for good food and Noonies disappointed for food. Service: The service was cool. Nothing special but a pleasant interaction. Parking: Decent parking in front of the building. Overall: It's cool! Not for me but might hit the spot for me. Also, I got my food shortly after they opened and perhaps some of the food was not fully cooked to its best. That said, again, not for me!
