    L to R: Chicken Over Rice (~$8) and Lamb Over Rice (~$8).
    Aya E.

    Rice & Spice doesn't look like much when you pass by, but they do have a decent selection of food here. I stopped by with a friend for lunch one day around 3pm. After checking out the menu, we decided to split the Chicken Over Rice (~$8) and Lamb Over Rice (~$8). Both dishes come with rice, salad, and a can of soda. It's also served with white sauce on the side. It took about 10 minutes to prepare our food, which wasn't too bad. It is A LOT of food for ~$8. I think this ended up lasting me 2-3 meals, so it is well worth the cost. The yellow rice is fragrant and the meats were well-seasoned. I enjoyed the salad and white sauce too which really brought the whole meal together. If you're in the Lodi area looking to grab a quick, cheap meal, Rice & Spice is a solid option!

    Chicken gyro
    Leanne S.

    Chicken gyro was so SPICY I licked my fingers when I unwrapped it and my lips and top of mouth instantly started burning. When I called and asked why it was so spicy they said "We put chili sauce on it ". Menu doesn't state that. Only tzatziki sauce. When I mentioned that they state it's spicy and they said "why?"Biggest waste of $10 with a tip. I have been leery of going and should have stayed away.

    Naan Kabob- such good flavor
    Del S.

    So- I can't believe it took me so long to try this place out- If you're looking for a good quality - low cost satisfying burger- look no further. I had seen pictures that others had posted and knew I wanted to try it. Recommendation- it would be better to call in your order before picking up- everything is freshly prepared- and that way you don't have to wait. If you're looking for Middle-Eastern, Indian or Asian food- seasoning or spices, come here. Super friendly workers that gave me suggestions on making some of the more traditional meals i.e. Seekh Kabob and Butter Chicken- (takes practice) Anyway, when I got home- hubby and I split all of the items so I could get a taste of everything- delicious delicious and I will definitely come back. (My favorite? The Jalapeño Burger combo comes with a soda and yummy fries) looking forward to trying all of the other things Be back soon

    Ok so Michael and I went to this store in Lodi to get a bite to eat and some pizza for tonight's party! First off we ate the loaded fries I had spicy chicken Michael had the philly cheesesteak I can not recommend them enough and I'm so full! Second the pizzas look and smell amazing and the prices were awesome! Third..... THIS IS A FULL BLOWN INDIAN INGREDIENTS STORE!!!!! Everything India I could ever want and things I didn't even know I was missing in my life was there. I will be spending a full paycheck there when I go back to work!!!

    Beef Strip Burger
    Tiffany K.

    The food here is consistent and satisfying. The burgers are my go-to's; I highly recommend the avocado burger and my friend is a big fan of the beef strip (beef bacon) burger. As for the wings, they're not the best wings I've ever had, but they are definitely the best halal wings I've ever had! The BBQ sauce on the wings are the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. The wings are also big, which is a plus. Rice & Spice has definitely expanded their menu since I first started coming here and I have yet to try all the new items. Also, I suggest ordering your food over the phone ~20-25 minutes ahead of time. Enjoy!

    Guantonio's - Classic pizza

    Guantonio's is one of those classic local spots that people in Lodi genuinely love, and after…read moreeating here, it's easy to see why. The place gets busy fast, which is always a good sign, and the food absolutely lives up to the hype. Everything tastes fresh, hot, and made with care. The appetizers are consistently a standout, and the potato skins are a must. Get them Sicilian style. They're savory, satisfying, and the kind of starter everyone at the table keeps reaching for. Honestly, they set the tone for the whole meal. A quick tip: get there early, ideally right when they open. The parking lot is small and fills up quickly, but there is extra parking along the side of the building and behind it, which helps. Still, this is definitely the kind of place where arriving early makes the whole experience easier. And save room for dessert. Seriously. You have to get dessert. This is not the place to skip it. Yes, you may have to wait a bit, but that's part of the deal with well-loved local restaurants like this. The good news is your patience pays off. Guantonio's is warm, welcoming, delicious, and absolutely worth the wait. Here's a slightly punchier version too, in case you want it to sound even more like a real Yelp post: Guantonio's is such a gem in Lodi and definitely one of those local favorite spots that people keep coming back to for a reason. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and worth every bit of the wait. The appetizers are so good, but the potato skins are the real star. Order them Sicilian style. So good. Crispy, hearty, and packed with flavor. One of those appetizers you start thinking about before you even come back. Pro tip: come early, right when they open, because this place fills up fast. The main parking lot is pretty small, but there's more parking on the side of the building and behind it. Once you know that, it's a lot easier. Also, do yourself a favor and get dessert. Don't even debate it. This place gets busy, the wait can build, but your patience will absolutely pay off. Guantonio's is 100% worth it.

The space has a clean, modern neighborhood feel with a bit of personality. Inside, it's bright and minimalist with warm wood tables, shelves of wine bottles, and a small retail touch (cards, merch) that gives it a local/artisan vibe. There's also a covered outdoor seating area with string lights that looked like a good option for warmer evenings. It's casual but thoughtfully put together, somewhere between a wine bar and a pizza spot. Service stood out as a strong point. It's first-come, first-served (no reservations), but we were seated right away. Staff were prompt and efficient throughout the meal, checking in regularly without hovering, and pacing everything well. We had time to finish our salad before the pizza came out, and they gave us a natural break before dessert. No long waits, no rushing... just well-managed service. We started with the capri salad. I thought it was fresh and well-balanced, but my partner wasn't particularly impressed, and so I'd call that one mixed reviews depending on your expectations. For the main event, we ordered the pepperoni pizza "Nick's way" (with ricotta and hot honey). This was the highlight of the meal. The crust was well executed, nicely cooked with a good chew, not too thick and not overly thin. The pepperoni and hot honey combination worked really well, giving it that sweet-and-savory balance that keeps you going back for another slice. The cheese was excellent, with the ricotta adding a nice contrast. If I had one critique, it's that the sauce was a bit light. I would've preferred a slightly heavier hand there to round things out, but it didn't take away from the overall quality. We each had a glass of wine, my partner had a Pinot, and I had a red blend (not labeled as a house wine, and I couldn't find the exact winery afterward). The by-the-glass selection is limited, but they do have a fairly extensive bottle selection if you want more options. For dessert, we both went with sundaes and honestly, these are worth coming back for on their own. Simple, well done, and genuinely satisfying. If you're nearby, it wouldn't be a stretch to stop in just for dessert. Overall, a strong neighborhood spot with excellent pizza, well-paced service, and standout desserts. A few minor limitations (light sauce, limited wine-by-the-glass options), but definitely worth a visit.

The ambiance is modern and young with ambient music and sports screens. For drinks we tried the "paper plane" (bourbon based) and the "touch me" tequila-hibiscus based. They tasted great and yes we ordered seconds! We also tried the calamari which came very hot with marinara sauce. Delish! The main course was their Pear/prosciutto pizza topped with arugula.

I loved the indoor outdoor setup, the bar scene, TVs playing games, and the overall lighting. We chose to sit outside and were seated quickly. The heaters made it comfortable even as it cooled down. They also have a wide variety of food options, which makes this a great spot for a group since there's something for everyone. They started us off with complimentary pinwheels which were nice to snack on while we looked over the menu. I do think they would be even better served the traditional way with lime and Tapatio. I ordered the Table Nachos as my meal, which would also be a great group appetizer. They were fully loaded and filling, but overall just okay. The chicken was a bit bland. It did the job, but not something I would go out of my way to order again. My fiancé had the Mango Habanero Chicken Sandwich and was also a bit underwhelmed. For something labeled habanero, it lacked the kick you would expect. We both agreed the fries were the highlight. Service was friendly and our waitress checked in on us, but a few small things were missed and we had to ask more than once for items like extra napkins and sauce. While dinner was not a hit for us, it may have just been what we ordered. I would be open to coming back to try their brunch.
