This will most likely be the last time I go to this restaurant. The last two orders I have made there were mistakes and missing food. First time I just chucked it up and said oh well didn't wanna make a fuss. But this time I ordered two biscuit slams one was over easy eggs, and one with scrambled, both came with scrambled bummer for me, two I was charged 29 dollars and some change. Like what the heck the food may be good but dang expensive. Any recommendations for good biscuits and gravy anyone? Now I have to find a place.

Okay, so this review has been a few visits coming. We started coming to California Al's about 2…read moremonths ago, trying to find a breakfast place in Lodi before my kid's practice. The other place I considered my hubs checked out the inside, and walked out and said "No.". So, we needed to find an alternate. We are so glad we did! We love this place. We have made a plan to never order the same thing twice so we can eat everything on the breakfast menu. They make their pancakes so well. They have crispy edges and is sweet. The batter is not heavy or dough so the pancake is really fluffy throughout. We've also had their French toast which was amazing! Light, crunchy, thick. Yummmmm had them with strawberries. We've shared their steak and eggs, the steak was nice and tender, great size and flavor! Our daughter has had their chicken fried steak, and we weren't able to wrangle any of it from her, she kept it to herself. Order the country potatoes. They have crispy bits that we fight over. Biscuit is FLAKY. You can see it even when it's innocently sitting in a plate waiting to be cut open and buttered. And the country gravy has the best flavor...and bacon in it. The staff are wonderful, the restaurant is always buzzing and looks like a local favorite. We totally plan to come back as long as we can. They're going to be on our favorites list!

Saturday, February 14th, 2026 Approx. 10 AM…read more OVERVIEW: Came here since this restaurant received such high reviews. Left slightly disappointed. PROS: - Nice family atmosphere - Large food volume for price - Good service CONS: - Ordered the Pancake Combo, which includes two (2) pancakes. As you can see in the attached picture, one of the pancakes was completely burnt. The chef tried to hide it by putting the burnt pancake under the normal one. I didn't notice it until I had already eaten 1/3rd of the meal, and was too hungry to wait to have another one cooked. This is not the restaurant's fault, but completely the fault of the chef at the time. Needless to say, I won't be coming back.

The parking could be a lot could be bigger but I guess we went on a busy day. It was a Sunday. Every screen had the World Cup on and that was nice but with the noise we couldn't hear it. Now, for the food. I ordered a jr burger meal and a personal combo pizza. It came out to $30 and some change. The burger tasted like a kids Super Star Burger. If you've ever eaten there they are a 4 on a scale of 10. It was ok. The combo pizza kind of reminded me of a hand tossed Dominos pizza but maybe a little softer dough. I'd give it a 5 out of 10. I like that Michael's or David's style pizza. This one is ok. There are a lot of other things on the menu and the pricing is a little high. My husband also bought a beer for $6. He isn't used to 2026 prices. He's an old timer and misses the 1990's pricing. I mean who doesn't?! They do have points you can earn but not really sure what that would go towards. The games for kids was ok. The old school pool tables are still there. Bring quarters. It cost $1.50 to play. Overall it seems like a nice place to visit at least once. Give it a try. There might be something I missed that someone else might like.

A few blocks away everything seems to be getting remodeled. Like they were getting a whole new town. They had not yet reached this block. I'm not sure if that is a god or bad thing. It's an old diner. The lady sitting in the booth behind us seemed like a regular. We ordered our food and it was super fresh and quite delicious. An older gentleman seated us but I'm guessing it was either his daughter or possibly a granddaughter that took our order. She was sweet as pie. Our food was just what we needed for the wine tasting to come. I would go back if I lived there.

A voice message was left same day for a call back. Next day a message was left with the hostess. No call backs were ever made. Wasn't asking for the entire bill to be refunded just her portion of the meal. The one star is how piss poor this was handled. A call back would have just been nice. It's upsetting because this was such a nice restaurant to go to but probably won't be back.

But this was so bad. 90% of the menu is freezer food. The nachos had a puddle of what tasted like velveeta on the bottom and a pile of cold shredded cheese on top. The sauce on the previously frozen ravioli tasted like canned meat sauce. Not a grain of salt or speck of flour added. I know this isnt the only restaurant using frozen or premade items, but this stuff is straight from the container into old grease (you can smell it) and on to your plate. Nothing about this place says gastropub. It was really really bad.

you guys this place was such a surprise. so unsuspecting. i thought the place was closed because…read morefrom the outside it looks like it isn't even in business. turns out they just have things covering the windows. this place wasn't busy at all, but there was a steady flow of people coming in and out the entire time we were there. the staff is super friendly and the whole place just seems like a spot where you walk in and they would greet you by name. great vibes. this place is more of a sports bar than a restarunt, but you are able to sit down at a table and order food with children. the food options are almost all shareable bites besides their specials which the special that day was some kind of steak. other than that, it's not necessarily meal foods besides a couple items. anyways, the food was actually pretty good. the nachos were so simple yet so delicious and addicting. we opted for no meat since we were already sharing wings but they have a few meat options you can add for an additional charge. they come with nacho choose, shredded cheese, onions, cilantro, sour cream, and hot or mild salsa. we got no sour cream and asked for the both salsas on the side so we could give both a try and decide which one we liked better. the hot one was actually so spicy it took us by surprise. i do wish the shredded cheese was melted or at least warm, but was still yummy so it's fine. the wings were great as well. we got buffalo and barbecue and both of the sauces were great. the buffalo sauce was really tangy which i love. the onion rings reminded me a lot of the onion rings from @Habit Burger & Grill which are some of my favorite onion rings. i don't like onions rings that are fried in like a tempura batter (the smooth ones). i only like when they're panko fried like with breadcrumbs so these were great and the hatter had great flavor. the edamame was another thing on the menu that just seemed so random. they were good, but not my favorite spicy garlic edamame i've ever had. they were actually so spicy to me which, again, was not expecting. the fries were just normal fries, but they do have different fry flavor options. the gastropub logo has a pizza on it and i was so surprised to find that pizza wasn't even a menu item. they also have a pizza oven in the kitchen area so that confused me. overall it was a really solid meal and i see myself frequenting it during football season.

They have plenty of seating for small to large parties and even have seats up at the bar. It's got a small town cafe feel to it and I love it. I usually get the BLT sandwich with a side of fruit an an iced tea. Their BLT has to be my favorite because they load it up with bacon! I can't stand when you get a BLT and it lacks bacon, that surely is not the case here. My best friend loves to get their over medium eggs; the yolks are flawless, hash brown with cheese and toast. My other friend is a huge fan of their banana nut bread, it's a delectable breakfast item that feels more like a dessert and is dangerously addictive. I can't say enough positive things about this establishment, I will for sure be back again and again when in the area. There are plenty of other options. Please give them a visit and let them know what you think!

They did redo her order and it was right that time. I ordered an omelette Greek style. It was good. The potato's were excellent. The others in our party liked theirs. The service. Our server was almost missing in action. One of the other servers actually helped us more than our server. The restaurant was very busy when we got there so I understand the server being busy as well. However it takes 2 minutes to check on your table.
