Finley's Grill - Manteca

We had a very large party and they were really not able to provide service for that many, although assured ahead of time they would. Highly priced and your owner/wait staff/ bartender was a bit cranky that night. Also after we were seated she then wanted us to move so it would accommodate them serving us easier. Also appeared as tax and tip were lumped together on our bills at 30%. And they only take cash. Food: 2

The restaurant was fairly quiet, with only a couple of other tables occupied, perhaps because it was a Thursday night. This calm atmosphere allowed my friend and me to have a comfortable conversation throughout dinner. We sat inside, looking out onto a charming patio that added to the quaint ambiance. The restaurant had a cozy, rustic Victorian feel that extended to the patio and even the restroom. Service was excellent. Debra was our waitress and shared insights about the history of the property while ensuring our glasses were always full and we had everything we needed. On our way home, my friend and I both remarked how much we enjoyed Debra’s company and wished she could have spent more time with us. I’m looking forward to sharing a cozy dinner on the patio with more friends in the future. However, I would love to see their menu on their website, along with the kitchen hours. One important note: THIS IS A CASH-ONLY ESTABLISHMENT, but they do have an ATM on site.

I visited this fantastic restaurant for the first time and was thoroughly impressed. The ribeye steak was cooked to perfection and incredibly tender, practically melting in my mouth. It's a husband-and-wife-run establishment, and I enjoyed a lovely conversation with the wife. We will definitely be returning. Service: Dine-in Meal type: Dinner.

I have to say, this restaurant is never open during their stated hours! It’s been incredibly frustrating. The food was fantastic, and I’ve been eager to return, but I’ve tried at least four times during their posted hours since they updated them on May 22, 2023. Today, Monday, July 17, 2023, at 11:45 AM, the place was CLOSED! Their updated hours say they’re open from 5 AM to 10 PM, but that’s just not true! I won’t be coming back again! Service: Dine-in.

My husband and I stopped by this restaurant for lunch, but found it empty, which raised some concerns. Despite that, we decided to give it a try. The menu looked extensive on Yelp, but when we arrived, the server informed us that they only accept cash and provided us with a limited one-page menu of options. Given its location away from popular spots, I understand they might be trying to keep costs low. However, I was disappointed to find that there were no vegetarian options beyond salads. My husband enjoyed his burger and fries, and the service was courteous. My salad was decent, but honestly, I would have chosen a different restaurant if there had been another sit-down option nearby. Additionally, seeing a Trump sign and MAGA hats in the dining area was quite off-putting.
