This was my first time at the Waterloo restaurant. All the food was freshly made they used fresh ingredients they have a garden in the back where they get their fresh herbs from. It was a nice atmosphere the environment was quiet enough to talk. But loud enough to wear no one would listen to your conversation. The chowder was so delicious that Geneva bread and that Betty sauce is amazing pairs well together! If you like fresh ingredients this is a place to try.

My husband and I ate dinner there on 11/05. It was absolutely delicious. The service was great. My super picky eater husband could not say enough good things about his dinner. He ordered the chili soup and the combo rib and chicken dinner. He was so happy. It was so good it almost made him cry tears of joy. 😄 I had the New York steak with a baked potato. Delicious! The steak was cooked perfectly. It was a very generous cut so I could only eat half. We highly recommend Waterloo to all.

Great steak get it with peppercorn or the mushrooms. They make all their desserts in House great place if you’re a San Francisco Giants fan.

Great restaurant, food, service, and atmosphere. We were seated promptly and water arrived quickly. The staff was friendly and attentive.The side salad had house made croutons. Restaurants have dropped croutons to my disappointment, so it was great to have them again. The dressing was house made, delicious. My wife had the NY strip and she thought it was the best steak she'd had in years. She is a keto dieter and has become a beef flavor/quality expert. The ribs were great. The sweet BBQ sauce was good with the pork. The pasta we ordered for sides was homemade from scratch pasta that was locally sourced. We asked, everything, the fresh bread, the pasta, the meats, all of the food we were served, was either made from scratch at the Waterloo or locally sourced from nearby farms and bakeries. You could tell. It was really fresh and well made. They have a full bar with a friendly crowd. The old fashioned I ordered was complete with a Luxardo cherry. Waterloo isn't the biggest town in the world but if you're here, definitely visit The Waterloo Restaurant. We came in a half hour before close on a Thursday night and it was a full house. There's an entertaining story about the battle of Waterloo, not with Napoleon, but locally with a stolen canon on the back of the menu. There is a wall that honors local military heros, and they sell some pretty neat merch, including dog toys, although it is a service dog only restaurant.

The Waterloo Restaurant – Good Food with Local Charm and a Few Surprises I recently visited The Waterloo Restaurant in Waterloo, California, to celebrate a friend’s birthday. Our group reserved a table for 12, looking forward to enjoying the evening together. However, when we arrived, the restaurant was quite busy, and we were seated at two separate round tables. We asked if the tables could be moved together so we could all sit as a group, but the staff wouldn’t allow it. Initially, it was disappointing, but given how busy the place was—and considering we did make the reservation somewhat last minute—it’s understandable that they may not have had the flexibility to rearrange things. Despite the seating arrangement, the atmosphere was lively and inviting. One charming detail that stood out was the menu design. The front page of their menu features kids’ drawings, which I was told are from local school children. It was a nice touch that gave the place a warm, community feel. Even with the crowd, the staff remained friendly and attentive, ensuring our drinks were filled and checking in regularly. One thing to note is their policy on shared meals. Two of the ladies in our group decided to share a meal, but they were surprised to see an extra charge for splitting the dish on the check. They weren’t informed about this fee beforehand, and the only notice was printed at the bottom of the menu, which was easy to overlook. It’s unclear what the fee is meant to cover—perhaps the cost of an extra plate? Either way, it was an unexpected cost that could have been communicated more clearly. For my meal, I ordered the Roasted Chicken with a baked potato and a salad. The chicken was flavorful and well-cooked, and the sides complemented the meal nicely. Overall, I was satisfied with the food, and the portion size was generous. However, it’s worth mentioning that The Waterloo Restaurant is on the pricier side. The cost felt a bit steep for what you get, but the food quality was good, and the atmosphere was enjoyable. Overall, The Waterloo Restaurant delivers good food, attentive service, and a cozy ambiance with a touch of local charm. The seating arrangement wasn’t ideal, but given how busy they were and the timing of our reservation, it’s understandable. The surprise meal-splitting fee was a minor inconvenience, but the quality dishes and community-oriented atmosphere made up for it. If you’re aware of the extra charges and are okay with slightly higher prices, it’s a great place to enjoy an evening out.

First time here and I love it! The atmosphere, food… the combination complimented each other. But let’s get to the food.. amazing!!! Portion sizes and taste does not disappoint!! I can’t tell you what’s a favorite as they were all so delicious! Their BBQ sauce it in point! If you have not been, it should definitely be on your priority list! I can’t wait to go back!

A friend and I waited for two hours to get a table at the Waterloo restaurant. As soon as we entered, we had a good first impression: the salad and breads were perfect. However, the main dish, a ribeye, came excessively overdone, with darkened meat and a bitter taste. I ended up eating only half, removing the most burned parts, because I was very hungry. On the other hand, the pasta with pesto was impeccable, and the shrimps, simply delicious.

Hey there Party People If you are looking for food that will knock you out with atmosphere that will bring you that "Everybody knows you name...CHEERS" vibe then Waterloo is the spot for you. We were having a family celebration so my Brother-in-law suggested this place it was everything he said it would be Started with Beef tips cooked to perfection with a BBQ sauce made in house with the owners secret recipe. It was so good I could have drank the bottle. It had a very distinct flavor that hit all the notes without being too sweet. Moving on to the main course I had the Spicy Cajun Chicken sandwich. Finally a restaurant that actually knows what the word "Spicy" means. All I can say is it was awesome and the chicken was nice and moist. Hubby had the Waterloo Special with was 1/2 rack of ribs and chicken. The rub on the ribs was so good you didn't need to put any sauce on them but why wouldn't you. Hubby did say that the chicken was a touch dry but still tasted great. The unique thing about Restaurant is the fact that it's a BBQ joint that makes handmade pasta daily with a famous Pesto sauce. Being Italian myself I know what a good pesto should taste like and this was definitely it. What meal is complete without Dessert. We had a Peanut Butter Chocolate pie. Decadent and delicious everything a dessert should be. It was the final nail that put us all in a food Coma. If you are in the area it would be a crime to miss this place. Be kind to one another

Been trying to get here to eat but I've literally checked every time they were closed (Monday and Tuesdays) lol Went today and had mimosa , iced tea and today's special was steak sandwich w/ garlic sauce and baked potato. The service was good and kept checking to see if we needed anything . Had water brought to the table immediately (which I always appreciate) The place is pretty big , tables are good for big families and nice view of pictures and sports memorabilia throughout. For a French dip sandwich w/ baked potato and my sandwich (mentioned earlier) w/ a drink (vodka and soda) it all was $95 before tip for 2. Considering today's times this is our new normal. If your passing by w/ family it's a nice place to come to eat , parking lot is always full when opened so plan it in as I made sure to arrive at opening time and by time I left it was filling fast.

The food and drinks were excellent. I had no complaints with the food or drinks. However my complaint was the service. My boyfriend and I felt very rushed to hurry up and get out. That was my impression. Which really sucked because after a long stressful week we both were looking forward to a nice relaxing dinner out of the house. We got served our soup and salad and drinks, then the entrees came. The servers kept coming by several times asking if they could take our plates and we weren't even done yet. We couldn't even relax. By the time I was almost done, she came by again and asked if we wanted boxes. I was like you know what just take it, I don't need a box. My boyfriend even was like you sure you don't want to take your food home. Nope, I was so put off by the experience. We were there a total of maybe an hr if that even ! Even the customers in other tables were receiving the same treatment, one gentleman I heard say I'm only half way finished with my meal. So I know it wasn't just us that was being rushed. The food/drinks were good. But for what we paid to not even have a good time. I doubt we will be back. It really sucks because we were hoping to make this a fun place to go eat and unwind after a long week since it's so close to home.

I have always wanted to go here. We passed by it all the time when heading to the lakes to go camping. We were coming back from a good friend's wedding and decided to stop in for lunch. We were greeted by a very friendly staff that receipted us so we could watch the football game. Thank you very much. The food was fantastic. Come with great sides. I had the potato salad. It was excellent also had the rib lunch, which came with five ribs very good.

I would not visit again the food was just not good. Although they are very big hearty portions there was almost no taste to the pastas or other dishes, not even salt. The bbq's were okay in terms of flavor but on the dry and tough side, making unenjoyable. While the restaurant theme is very fun the food is just a no go for me and my family considering the price point of each entree.

The place was bustling with energy on a Friday night, and for good reason! The ribs and chicken were absolutely delicious--tender, flavorful, and paired perfectly with their signature sauce. The drinks were spot on, and the fresh, warm bread was a nice touch. Great food, great vibe--definitely worth the visit!

You just can't beat the ambience at the Waterloo, we had seven in our party and were able to get right in. This is a great place if you have a large group to bring them for dinner. We all ordered the ribs, baked potato, hot bread, and a cocktail was made for a fantastic meal. The service was fantastic and you just can't beat the ambience. Highly recommend.

You know the place has to be good when it's in the middle of nowhere and you're 12th in line on the waiting list on a Saturday night. Easy to get to, from 99 exit onto 88 like you're going to Lockford and it's directly across the street from German Guys. The Hubbs is a big ribs fan and one of his coworkers told him you have to try this place out. Menu is short and everything appears homemade, we knew we wanted to try their ribs and had planned on getting different entrées since it was our first time there, but everyone around us ordered ribs. We were seated near the kitchen and nearly every plate that came out had ribs and the pesto pasta or the Waterloo special with ribs, grilled chicken and pesto pasta. We had a When in Rome moment and we both ordered the Waterloo special. There's no children's menu; however, they do accommodate kids by offering smaller portions at a discounted price. I was hoping to order garlic bread for the Babes, but it wasn't available. The waitress suggested buttered pasta which is a pile of fresh pasta topped with Parmesan for a very reasonable price of $5.95 The Hubbs usually orders a salad with his meals but the only dressing options are their homemade ranch and Italian. My picky eater opted for the soup because he doesn't like either dressings. The soup option was only minestrone which he picked at and I ended up eating. Both the Hubbs and the Babes loved the fresh bread with good butter. When our entrées came out, they're not beautifully plated - no parsley or sliced fruit garnish, just a pile of hot food. Right down to the brown vinyl tablecloth, this is not about pretty, this is about Grubin and boy did we grub! The Waterloo special comes with grilled chicken, which is a quarter piece with the thigh and drum stick attached , ribs, and an additional side. I went with the pesto pasta and the Hubbs had a baked potato with butter only - just how he likes it! From the photos on Yelp, I knew it was going to be more of a creamy pesto and it was. It's more on the mild side and tasted very creamy and salty. The noodles appear homemade and are soft and fluffy rather than al dente. Both the chicken and the ribs are cooked on an hot grill and the meat is moist with the exterior slightly charred. There's no hint of smoke, but what is the true stand out is their amazing barbecue sauce. Their barbecue sauce is so good. You could pour it over an old leather shoe and it would be amazing. We were literally the last guests seated, and the last guests there to leave and the Hubbs baked potato was still fluffy. I looked over and the Hubbs had a pool of barbecue sauce in the middle of his plate. Was it good? Looked over again to a unicorn moment, the Hubbs never finishes his food and there he was with only a pile of bones in front of him! Will we be back? Oh yes, we will with wet wipes! I missed having vegetables with my entrée and next time we go I'll inquire if that's an order option. I would suggest they also have a roll of paper towels at each table. At the suggestion of our waitress, we had the banana bread pudding. OMG huge portion of French bread pudding with two scoops of ice cream, whipped cream and drizzled with caramel and chocolate. So decadent and delicious! I told the Hubbs that it was worth the drive just for the dessert! Of course we took a bottle of BBQ sauce to go. Menu on the table lists it for $5.95 but we were charged $6.50

Came here on a Saturday afternoon. Was able to get a table for three right away. We all ordered the ribs and pesto lunch plate. We also asked for an order of garlic bread to share. The garlic bread was good, it came in six slices. Had a nice crunch and good flavor. The ribs and pesto was a pretty large serving size for lunch. Six ribs that fell off the bone. The sauce was unique, a little sweet and a little salty. You could tell the pasta was homemade, it wasn't al dente, more soft. The pesto was unique as well, kinda creamy, and a little too salty for my taste, but someone else asked for more cheese. It was enough to feed me for two full meals. We asked what the dessert choices were since they usually change and are homemade. We shared a slice of pumpkin cheesecake that was light and fluffy. The crust was nice and thick and it came with a maple leaf shaped cookie on top. The restaurant is pretty big with a lot of pictures and sports memorabilia on the walls showing the history of famous visitors. It came out to $82.75 before tip.

My wife and I have been coming here for a couple of years now, and it's become our favorite place to celebrate birthdays, enjoy a date night, or bring friends along for a great meal. On our most recent visit, I ordered the steak topped with mushrooms and a side of pesto pasta. The steak? Smoky, flavorful, and always cooked just right--these folks know what they're doing on the grill. And the pesto pasta? Creamy, rich, and packed with flavor in every bite. It's one of those dishes you think about long after the meal's over. Pair it all with a cold pint of Lagunitas, and you've got yourself the perfect night out. Highly recommend checking it out if you haven't already. Consistently great food, relaxed vibe, and a place that feels like home every time we visit.

I first discovered Waterloo on Instagram, and a couple of days ago, when it came time to pick a lunch spot, us gym girlies decided to give it a try. The food did not disappoint! Kellie, the bartender, crafted an absolutely scrumptious Peach Cadillac Margarita. But the real showstopper? The bread pudding. One bite and I knew I'd be back. And sure enough--today I returned just for the bread pudding to-go.

I first came here years ago with a group of friends. I'm not sure if I even ate. I always hear about this place and know it's a Stockton staple with a lot of regulars. One of my best friends told me he was having his birthday dinner here I was excited to finally try it out. It's good to know that any meal that you order comes with a soup or a salad. I ended up getting their ribs. It was 10/10. Our waitress was fast & attentive even though it was a busy night. I would come back here with a group of friends or to grab some drinks at the bar.

I met friends here the other day for lunch. We started with some rib ends and calamari. Seriously, the ribs were melt-in-your-mouth tender and so flavorful. The calamari was good as well. Our servers were so friendly and very attentive to our table. It was very busy in the restaurant so food took a long time to come out. For my main course, I went with the steamers (clams). They came with a salad that was very good - super crisp and fresh, and I was thrilled to see garbanzo beans, kidney beans, and beets in the mix! That was a nice unexpected touch. The clams themselves were good, but the broth could have used a little more oomph, flavor-wise. Still, overall a really great meal!

If you need a larger space for celebrations, Waterloo is a decent choice for your gathering. They have a spaces inside depending on the size of your group and outdoor seating as well. I wouldn't recommend outdoor with the summer heat. You also get the traffic flying by on hwy 88. We had three tables worth of people and we started at a slow time (4pm on a Thursday), so the service was fast and the servers were nice. They accommodated space for gifts and flowers since the restaurant wasn't full. Since some menu items are only for certain days, I ordered the scampi with pesto. It was a lot of food and dinner came with a salad and bread basket for the table. I definitely took some home because I couldn't finish. They have a full service bar and when you're in a large group it's sometimes nice to be able to quickly order and pay from the bar. The servers were quick with drink orders as well. Overall the food isn't bad. I wish I could've ordered the Calamari, but that's only available on Friday if I remember correctly. Item availability is indicated on the menu. They have different options if you go for lunch vs. dinner, so be sure to check that ahead of time if you would prefer the lunch menu.

Great service as usual! The pesto, however, wasn't up to its usual standard. It just didn't have the same great flavor as before. Still a great place, but I hope the pesto returns to normal!

When Gayle and I drive to the Bay Area from Genoa (NV), we have 3 main routes, depending on where we're going: 1. US50 then I-80 at Sacramento, followed by I-680 into Walnut Creek. 2. Highway 88 and then through the Delta to Concord. 3. Highway 88 towards Stockton, then I5/205/580 into Livermore then SFO. When we take Option 3, we always keep in mind the possibility of Lunch or Dinner (depending whether we're coming in or going back) at the Waterloo. Their hours haven't always matched with ours, and we've been known to try to time (and route) or trips accordingly. The Waterloo is the kind of place that should have been featured on the old "Road Food" (Jane and Michael Stern) series or Diners Drive Ins and Dives in present day. I'd call it down home friendly, with a fun Western community vibe. Last week we stopped in for Lunch after travelling from SFO (on a flight from Vancouver). I had their special club sandwich with the signature pesto, while Gayle relished her ribs order (again with pesto). That plus draft Guinness for me, wine for me, and great service made for a well played rest stop on the way home. And if you're a SF Giants Fan? Humm Baby!

Dined in one a Sunday for lunch, no wait time but they do not seat you until your whole party has arrived I ordered the Waterloo special, chicken ribs and pesto. That is never a miss! My husband ordered the lunch special (steak sandwich) it was a bit on the dry side. Service was great, the waitress was attentive. Food and drinks did not take long to arrive at our table

This place has the best BBQ ribs. Fall off the bone tender. Their steaks (ribeyes) are great too. I love the pesto. Great food all around. Haven't ever had a bad or disappointing meal. The service is the best. Fast friendly and efficient. The ambiance is good ole family owned "GIANTS" baseball territory.

Everything was delicious! Was there for my friend's birthday celebration, with about 50 people and I got a wonderful steak dinner. Yet many others had ribs on their plates. So next time I will try the ribs. It's about 26 miles from my home, but well worth the drive. Servers were also the greatest.

Great quality food and the service is always friendly. One thing I always get no matter what is their pesto pasta. That is a must when you go to the Waterloo. I also got their minestrone soup which was super hardy and very tasty. You really can't go wrong with anything on their menu but the Pesto Pasta is something you can't sleep on. Please check them out!

Swung in here off of a refferal from a buddy that lives in the area. Let me tell you it was one solid referral. From appetizers to our main meal to dessert, nothing disapointed. BBQ sauce was excellent, so good we bought to-go bottles. This is now most definately a stop for us everytime we go to Lockeford to get our sausages. Before I conclude this review, I have to tip my hat to the servers for their excellent service and attentivness. The only negative I have to say is that I have been missing out on all of this goodness for years.

The food is always delicious. My husband and I both ordered the Waterloo which is half ribs, 1/4 of a chicken. My side was pesto and my husband's was spaghetti. We both ordered minestrone soup for our starter. The food is always delicious but I was a tad disappointed with my chicken portion. It was a small chicken thigh and leg. I prefer chicken over any other meat but their ribs are delicious. My husband's portion of chicken was a huge breast (my favorite part of the chicken). I think next time I order, I will request the breast. This will always be our favorite restaurant for steak, we just decided to get something different.

Their food is delicious from the steak to the burgers to the calamari everything is wonderful. The staff is excellent and aim to please. It's a bit pricey but that's okay for what you get. We've been eating here for years and just love the place. This place is always packed. So be prepared for a wait. Order a drink or two and relax while you wait. It's worth the wait. Never have I had a bad experience. It can be a bit loud but again that's okay to. It shows everyone is having a great time.

This place was recommended by my husband's friend from work. It was quite a drive for us, but it was worth it. I thought the menus was cute and different. On the front of the menu was kid's drawings/artwork. Each menu displayed a different picture of a kid's drawing. From the other customers and our server, they are known for their pesto. The lady at the table next to us came just for the pesto. She ordered a plate of it. My husband wanted some BBQ, but for his side he ordered the pesto. With all the hype about the pesto, we had to try it. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with the side of potato salad. Everything was delicious. No complaints! Food was excellent. We shared out plates with each other to try a little of everything. We ordered some dessert, bread pudding! OMG, that was the best bread pudding I ever had. The best!

Don't want to post anything rude but I've Been to this place 4x. Pasta not the best. Steak was medium well when we asked for medium rare. Ordered chicken tenders for my son and got some small burnt barely chicken anything. Overpriced steak and pasta for $70. Go to Outback Steakhouse! Their unlimited bread and butter are bomb and u get to choose ur own steak and it comes out tender and juicy everytime!!

Wow totally worth the drive down here. A co-worker recommended this place and we finally were able to come down here. We came on a Saturday afternoon , late lunch and it was still packed. The stand is in towards the end of the bar. and the lady came from out of the bar to seat us. She asked if a high table was fine and I told her I was hungry and anywhere was good. She brought us to the back room . It's a nice size place and still packed. The place opens up to a big bar which you can eat at. There is a autographed baseball collection as you enter. Plus in the back room the owner pays tribute to all the local war veteran's which is super nice. A spot for the Giants too. Nice family atmosphere and going out with your friends at the same time. We had a male server who could of been better. The other female servers where hella better. He acted like we didn't matter and were bothering him. But the girls and the food made up for it. While we were ordering I was debating about getting the famous pesto or the home made spaghetti as a side. The lady at the next table said get the pesto since that is all I come here for. So I did and she was not wrong. It was very good and the pasta in it was so fresh and light. Loved it. I ordered the ribs of course. Came down here for BBQ and was not disappointed. It was flavorful and juicy. Will be coming back. Oh first I had a bowl of the minestrone. stacked high and great. It had lots of flavor to. The wife had the pulled pork sandwich which was great to. The potato salad was the bomb. But the star of the show was the bread pudding with ice cream. Didn't even need the ice cream and whipped cream. It was chocolate with some crunch and so moist. We died for it. I get bread pudding where ever we go now because my friend loves it and got me hooked to. It was the best I ever had. Even better than the place in Lake Tahoe. which is saying a lot. We will be back soon even though it is a bit of a drive.

I have been coming here for the last 20years and I can see how the service and food has downgraded for the last year. The service along with the waitress was very unpleasant, whenever we wanted a glass of water, bread, or any time of need it seemed to bother her to the whole staff members. It wasn't even packed within the restaurant, and everything took forever, also the food quality has dropped. Even a staff member that we have asked for a refilled said "oh I just clocked out" even though they were only not even 5ft away from the bar for a soda! I would hate to say this, I would not come here no more I will for now go to Jackson Casino lone Wolf restaurant. Food is better along with the service..Waterloo is just a disappointment.

The food and experience was fantastic! The steaks and mixed drinks were perfect. I enjoyed a massive steak and pesto which complimented perfectly. The noodles were fresh and the steak was juicy. I loved seeing all the of celebrities on the wall. It gives a great conversation starter for a date night and/or remembering celebrities and their careers. I even saw retired Raiders! I'll be coming back sooner than later!

Been wanting to try this place for the longest but every time we came the wait had an outrageous time. Eating here I now see why. First off it's loud here, dive bar type, SF Giants decor everywhere (which I love, Go Gigantes!!!) and reasonable priced drinks, waited 15 minutes and that's where it all begins. Sat at a table in the back, was well lit compared to the bar. The service was the fastest ever had at a restaurant before. I swear the waitress had a blur behind her when she walked. What ever we ordered was on the table under 5 minutes flat. Hot and ready. The food was excellent. I can't even explain on how good the food was. You have to try it yourself. You will not be disappointed.

I only come here on Fridays for their clam chowder. One of the best. Their service is good yet order take out they take a while to get my order ready when I called 15-20 minutes ahead. Over all climate chowder is the best. BEST!

Food and service was great. But almost impossible to have conversations due to crazy noise level. Take out instead next time perhaps?

Really good steak! I went there for my birthday. Good cold beer and most importantly, great steak ! I also tried the salad and loaded potato. Service was attentive and friendly. The restaurant is casual with a cowboy vibe. You can tell there are lots of regulars gathering every weekend. I would definitely go back for more steak

Food was amazing as always I ordered the salmon I normally come here for the steak which is also good but this time we ordered it with mushrooms and it was even better. The salmon is definitely a recommendation if you love salmon the sauce is like a scampi sauce salmon was cooked perfectly not dry at all. The clam chowder this time was very good I don't remember it tasting good the last time I got it. our waitress and Bust boy was super nice. The only problem was that they don't seat you until your whole party is there which I hate this was only a party of 4 and even though they were nearby we had to wait till they showed up. Oh and the bread pudding was also very good

Skip it. For $124 the ribs are made by someone who has never been to Texas. I say this because their menu brags about how good their ribs are. There is one constant here, and it is SALT. The ribs, the steak, the pesto, the red sauce. SALT. They buy their bread from a bakery and their draught selection leaves you wanting. If you want to support a local business and receive great service this is the place for you.

I want to thank the owner for accommodating us on Mother's Day. We had a larger than planned group and they took us in with no hesitation. The service & food was amazing. Thank you again and Happy Mother's Day!!!
