Just off the Miracle Mile, the Valley Brew features some great micro brew beers and ales. The bar is a lively sports bar scene, while outside features an upscale patio garden atmosphere. It's a good place to take the family or business colleagues. After dinner, Baskin-Robbins ice cream is next door. A walk along the Miracle Mile after lunch or dinner is also a worthwhile side adventure. The Miracle Mile Stretch has antique stores, florists, an art gallery, and several upscale interior design stores.
I Iike all the beers, ranging from light to stout full bodied beers, depending on the weather and my mood. I like the fresh salmon on sour dough sandwich, but there's a full menu of pastas and sandwiches.

This is a California style Mexican restaurant that is in my opinion one of the world's best fast food restaurants. The inside is decorated with pottery for an authentic Mexican feel, but the style is more upscale. Glasses of fine wine and Mexican beers are available. The restaurant serves breatfast, lunch, and dinner with separate menus for each. American steak sandwiches and hot dogs are also available for those who can't stomach Mexican food. So, this place is sure to meet everyone's needs.
We always begin with the fresh tomatoe and lime salsa and chips. Sometimes, I buy a Modelo Negra, sometimes a glass of red or white wine. When my name is called, I pick up the tray of tacos. I love the fresh fish tacos, but I also usually get a deep fried oyster taco. But, there are so many other dishes on the menu, everyone is guaranteed to be happy. It is a fast food restaurant so drive through and phone orders are available, and don't expect service beyond the front counter. We usually grab copy of the daily San Francisco Chronicle which is left piled in one corner. Can't beat the food for the price, but if all else fails, MacDonald's is next door.

We eat fairly regularly at the Saigon because nearby Cocoro's is more expensive and always too busy. I don't like standing in line outside waiting for a table in a noisey environment. Saigon has plenty of room and the family serves quality Vietnamese food. The owner is a former South Vietnamese pilot who spent time in a concentration camp, but his past is behind him. He likes to talk about computers and rock music now. His wife is the main host, and she's a gregarious person who treats everyone like family. Both have excellent command of English, although the sound of a Vietnamese accent in my ears enhances the ambience for an international restaurant. Recently, the Saigon has offered free wireless internet access for its customers. Saigon distinguishes itself or being the only Vietnamese restaurant I know of celebrating formally Vietnamese New Year, or Tet. Coming sometimes between January and February, advanced reservations are required because, as you see in the photos, this is a locally popular event. The Tet menu includes many courses with some excellent specialties, but on any given day the normal menu also has some excellent beef, chicken, pork, fish, and vegetarian specialties that set it appart from other Vietnames restaurants.
I like the iced Vietnamese coffee and beer selection. The green mussels in basil sauce is an appetizer we always order right away upon entering the door. When asparagus is in season, Saigon prepares it stir-fried with beef or pork over rice. Also, there's a clay pot of Bassa, a Vietnamese river fish, in a special spicey brown sauce. The soups and rice dishes are cooked just right, not overcooked, but kept fresh and spiced right. Jack fruit shake makes a great dessert, but there's also crisp fried banana with whipped cream.

From the outside one wouldn't know it, especially as the building is under reconstruction right now, but inside the restaurant atmosphere is one of the most lively in Stockton. Papapavlo's is a Greek restaurant featuring flaming cheeze and dolma appetizers, but the main courses are simple genuinely well prepared fish, red meat, and pasta entres. Papapavlo's wine list is clearly the best in town. There's a pastry shop around the corner, and the bar is a well stocked place to wait for a table if you arrive without a reservation. Prices are not out of this world either. Similar food and service in the Bay Area would be substantially greater in cost. The only draw back for me is the location at the far end of Pacific Avenue. But, it's well placed for those upper scale locals who live off BenHolt Ave.
I usually get a fish filet entre from the specials menu, but the lamb shank and other main entres are all excellent. The wine list is organized by the owner, who has a respectable palate.

Along Pacific Avenue's "Miracle Mile" bottleneck, this restaurant is the a fairly recent addition to a walkable part of town that includes good Vietnamese, Mexican, and Brew Pub cuisine. The lively atmosphere is constant, especially on Friday night's when patron line outside the door waiting for a table. A faster way in is to eat at the sushi bar where all menu items can also be ordered. Reservations not accepted.
There are numerous dishes. It's not all Sushi and Sashimi. Anyone can enjoy this menu. The tea and sake selection is excellent. Naturally everything is fresh and the service is excellent.

There are several restaurants in this complex. Mongolian barbeque, Chinese/Japanese buffet, Filipino, Vietnamese, and a Wine Tasting Bar, and a Coffee house.
Only occasionally do I frequent this complex because virtually all the types of food served here are better done elsewhere in town, but for a quick bite away from the Radisson, I'd certainly head here rather than walk toward the freeway towards Applebees, Outback, and the numerous other corporate style restaurants. The wine bar is particularly a good haunt for those who like wine, as the owner will provide tasting and on friday's host a reservations only dinner. The Chinese/Japanese buffet is a good all-you-can-eat deal. A short walk around the fountains and bridges is no big deal as it is more concrete than landscaping but it's clean enough.

This authentic family owned Caribbean restaurant serves up great plates at the Paradise Point Marina. On weekends, music, such as the steel drum liven up the delta. It's a good idea to bring cash or checkbook. The last time we ate there, they didn't accept credit cards. Since this financial situation is so unusual in California, I'd go ahead and call them to see if this has changed. The place has off-beat musicians on the weekends.
Puerto Rican Shrimp with a Red Stripe beer--need more be said? The Rice Pilau is also excellent.

Located in Stockton's downtown, this is a popular lunch stop for bankers and lawyers. But, usually, we go on Friday night when the crowds are gone and the service individualized. The buffet is quite good, serving a variety of Indian dishes, and the waiter brings fresh and hot nan (a special bread) to the table along with the drinks. Sometimes, service is overly relaxed and doesn't snap too on Friday nights, but the attitude and food are predictably good. It's a good choice of restaurant before walking one block to the Bob Hope Theatre, and it's not far from the baseball or arena either.
I have a number of favorite chicken, fish, and lamb specialties that they do well here. I am however particular to the stewed lintel and carbanzo bean dishes, as well as the spinach korma.

Great family run Mexican food place. The family ran the best true Mexican place in downtown Stockton for years and then was forced to move when downtown “progress” came in. The original place was run by the father and two sons. The father died just before the move north and the brothers had a falling out and opened their separate places. Larry runs the better of the two but the other brother doesn’t do a bad job either. Service is fast, food is excellent and reasonable (no really cheap) and beer is cold. It is a little hard to find but well worth the effort. If you are not familiar with Stockton the easiest way is to get on Interstate Hwy 5 and on the north side of Stockton exit at Eight Mile Road, go east (toward the park), about one mile and turn south (right) on Thornton Road, go about two miles and just past Wagner Heights Road on your right you will see a small strip mall. If you are staying around March Lane and I-5 and don’t want to drive, you can try the other brothers place. It is back in behind the In Shape City fitness club, north of the Raddison, and sits on the lake. If you don’t want to leave the March Lane area then at least forgo the El Torrito and walk to Arroyo’s for some real Mexican food. He has a full service bar and is more of a “nightspot” than Larry’s “neighborhood” eatery.

I put this into the Local category because this is in fact a local restaurant the serves virtually everything imaginable in an all you can eat buffet format--Fresh Sushi, Instant Stir Fry, a buffet line of every Chinese dish imaginable, plus things like prime rib, fried chicken, salads, vegies, and a long line of desserts. The business card claims over 150 items on the buffet menu. This place is not one of great atmosphere as this is a cattle call to the feeding trough. Seating is quick, and beverages, at $1- are also a reasonable deal, but there's no beer or wine served. It blows all other buffets and all-you-can-eat place away in terms of quality and service. The sushi isn't as finely crafted as some other places in town, and the seafood line is still a buffet, but for the price it can't be beat. The food moves quickly and nothing lingers long at the buffet line, so there's no fear of mediocre food. It's an ideal family restaurant. This is also a good place to go if planning to see a ballgame or hockey game downtown as the self-service format makes for quick dining. $11.95 p/p for dinner, $6.95 p/p for lunch. Lunch is basically the same except there's no seafood.
I'm not usually an all-you-can-eat kind of guy. I prefer good service and great food crafted by a chef, but I'll have to be honest that frequently on a Friday night, my wife and I come here to keep our monthly restaurant tab relatively low. Rather than try to stuff myself with all the great dishes, I choose a different type each time I come. Because fried food doesn't settle in my stomach too well, I always avoid these types of dishes. I typically gravitate to the sushi line, which is overall a pretty good deal. I also like the fresh crab and shellfish buffets. The sauted broccoli and sauted mushrooms are a regular favorite.
