I also had one of their ginormous pancakes as my bread option. The portions here are very generous. The menu says there are three egg omelettes, but they feel more like a four egg omelette.

I've been here once before and got great service and had a great experience also. If you wanna get your fill of a good breakfast, come here.

It didn't help that I could see 88 Bao as we parked. Tiny spot located in the new shopping center off of 120 and Airport next-door to Dutch Brothers. The Hubbs got a bacon cheeseburger, onion rings, and a soda which came out to over $21 before Taxes! I was also charged $1.75 to add cheese to my chili dog. Not sure what type of cheese it was because it never melted. What did look good and was priced reasonably for fast food was their breakfast. We should've taken the queue as everyone else was ordering breakfast and done the same thing. Their pancakes and French toast looked really good. The Hubbs bacon cheeseburger did taste good and the onion rings were the best thing we ordered. My chili dog was underwhelming with what tasted like canned chili and cheese that never melted. We got a cherry cheesecake to go, and it had that old school taste that is more nostalgic than gourmet. The place is tiny with only three or four places to sit. Most of their orders were to go or doorDash. There was so much condensation on their desserts showcase, luckily it didn't affect the taste of the cherry cheesecake. If I go back, it'll be for breakfast or onion rings.

The Mangy Moose is exactly the kind of place I love stumbling across. It has a genuine old-school…read morediner feel that you just don't get from the big chain restaurants anymore. The place is narrow, with a long counter running down the length of it and additional seating tucked away in the back. Grab a seat at the counter and the grill is literally right on the other side, so you get a front-row seat to the action while your breakfast is being made. And honestly, the entertainment is half the experience. The cooks and wait staff are constantly joking, talking, and giving each other a hard time. Their friendly banter is so natural that I found myself wondering if this was a family-run business. Whether it is or not, they definitely have that kind of chemistry. They also seemed to know just about every regular who walked through the door. Between the conversations, laughter, open grill, and familiar faces, I couldn't help thinking I'd somehow wandered onto an episode of Cheers, only instead of sitting at the bar with a beer, I was at the counter with coffee and a seriously impressive breakfast. I ordered The Moose Omelet, and apparently the moose isn't just there for decoration. This thing is a beast. Four eggs packed with crisp bacon, linguica, sausage, ham, green onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms, and thin-sliced potatoes that reminded me of scalloped potatoes, all folded into the omelet and blanketed with melted cheddar cheese. Their homemade pico was delicious and went perfectly with the omelet. What I liked most about The Mangy Moose is that it doesn't feel manufactured or overly polished. It's a real neighborhood diner with character, generous food, friendly people, and the kind of atmosphere that's becoming harder and harder to find. I may have walked in as the new guy, but it definitely feels like the kind of place where, after a few visits, everybody really would know your name. I'll be back. Five stars.

Everybody is smiling and laughing and talking to the customers. The grill cooks are calling out orders with surgical precision. The clanging of the spatulas and plates sounds like music! I ordered the country fried steak with hashbrowns crispy, and pancakes on the side. You always gotta try the flapjacks at these kind of spots. Of course the pancakes were excellent. You would expect no less... hashbrowns were crispy as ordered and the CFS was on point. Crunchy outer and tender inner. The gravy could've had a little more bang (seasoning) but the overall experience was great. If you're looking for some good breakfast after sliding at the Great Wolf, this is definitely a good spot. As Ahnold would say, I'll be back!

Seating is limited, with a…read moresmall outdoor table, a few booths, and a couple of smaller tables, but on weekday mornings it's usually easy to get seated right away. I'm not sure how busy it gets on weekends. The coffee is always fresh, and the menu has all the classic café breakfast options you'd expect. My favorite is the chorizo omelette with a side of strawberries. The omelette is flavorful without being greasy, and the strawberries are always fresh and delicious. The toast is decent, though I think trying a different bread brand could make it even better. The servers are consistently friendly and attentive. Orders come out quickly, and coffee refills are always topped off without having to ask. Overall, Frank's is a great spot for breakfast and definitely worth checking out.

A must-visit restaurant in Manteca!…read more Besitos Fine Cuisine has been one of my favorite local spots for years! Back when I worked for the City of Manteca, they frequently catered our events, and the food was always something to look forward to. My coworkers and I also made it a tradition to visit the restaurant about once a month for breakfast or brunch, and it never disappointed! The food is absolutely delicious, with a fantastic variety of options to choose from. You can tell there's real care and attention put into what they serve. The staff has always been incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which makes the experience even better. Now, I'll admit, it's definitely on the pricier side, but in my experience, the quality of the food, the selection, and the wonderful service make it worth every penny. I love supporting local businesses that consistently deliver great experiences, and Besitos is one of those places I genuinely enjoy recommending. Whether you're a Manteca local or just passing through, I highly recommend stopping by for breakfast or brunch. Definitely a local gem worth visiting!

We ordered #14 Italian sandwich and a large cup of clam chowder. The chowder seemed like a bit of a rip-off price-wise, but it tasted good and was enough for two people to share.

That is a tough act to follow. The Caprese Sandwich sounded really good. I spent a long time trying to decide what went with Sourdough Bread. We lived in San Jose and went to the other coast, so I've never had San Francisco sourdough bread. I ordered the clam chowder and the Caprese Sandwich sounded. I wanted a 4 inch sandwich but they only had 6 and 8 inch sizes of that certain sandwich. Those two and iced tea gave me a total just under $30. Gaaaahhhhh! It's 2025 and after the pandemic but I'm still adjusting. I went to sit and noticed a dirty table and a mess on the floor. I sat at the next table and hoped that they cleaned it. After a while, they brought the food to me. The clam chowder was good and there was plenty of meat. Usually, restaurants cheapen the mix with loads of potatoes and a hint of clam. The Caprese Sandwich was also very good. I don't realize that it was supposed to come with mozzarella, and I should not have asked for provolone. (If you know all the places in Philly or Jersey where I got sandwiches, you'll know I have some experience.) Since I didn't want that much sandwich, I couldn't eat it all, and walking, I didn't take the remainder with me. The staff was friendly but I could not hear them half the time. Some of the buildings are meant to look cool but are not good with noise.

We ordered the Nash & Tender Fries with Medium heat and seasoned fries. It only took them about 5 minutes to serve us our food, which was packed to-go. So, what's the consensus? The loaded fries were yummy- well cooked and crispy while fresh. The seasoning on them was delicious as well. Of course the fries were loaded so it was hard to pick them out. Only a few small opportunities on the side because these were not just loaded.... They were LOADED. Overall, they were pretty delicious. My husband and I split one serving and it was plenty of food for us both. I'm not a huge pickle fan (put them on the side for the hubs to eat) but the secret sauce seemed to have a lot of relish flavor. So, if you aren't a fan of relish the sauce may not be for you. But my husband loves pickles and enjoyed the flavor profile. The medium heat wasn't very spicy, to me it was more mild but the guy who took our order told us to expect that! Next time we're back we'll probably try the chicken tenders on their own so we can judge it on its own. But overall, we enjoyed their food! Yum!
