Reviews for The Downtowner in Stockton, CA
Great atmosphere, the place feels a little punk rock while also giving off vibes of you favorite aunts kitchen . Service was... spot on. Friendly, casual, informative. The food was well executed and delicious. We spent the majority of our conversationdiscussing the portobello sandwich and the garlic fries. This place treats the garlic well and shows on these two dishes. TheCobb salad was a nice well proportioned dish with a medium dressing that works well with the standard Cobb ingredients. Highlyrecommend this spot. Read more
Was very impressed with the food. Came here after searching for a random spot to eat since I'm not familiar with the area and am... glad I chose to come here. The ambience is a bit strange but I did like the art on the walls. Food was made quickly and wascooked as requested. Good place for a quick lunch. Read more
Top notch, boys and girls. Whether you're herbivorous or omnivorous, Downtowner's got something unique and delicious for you.... I'm not vegan or anything, and I don't just say to establish my credibility as a restaurant reviewer but also to praiseDowntowner's vegan menu, which had meals tantalizing enough to win over a couple carnists like me and my father. To my surprise,he ordered vegan nachos made with "cashew queso" and even claimed he liked them. I went for a spicy Thai grilled "cheese" thathad veggie spring rolls cooked right in between the grilled "bread." Real weird stuff, but I like to experiment, our lovelywaitress recommended it, and in the end I was satisfied. I do regret choosing that over the Seared Ahi Sliders, though, which mybrother ordered, looked absolutely amazing. Mom had a 50/50 burger and said it was outstanding as well. I'd also like to saythat the fries were top quality, no sog, everything you want in a fry. I ordered an Icelandic white ale, too, which came in aviking glass and was so exquisite that I learned something new about myself: me love white ales. Even Downtowner's water wasespecially good, self-serve and naturally essenced with your choice of cucumber or lemon-lime. I also appreciated the variedmusic they played, which included some punk. As for the art on the walls: picturesque nature scenes, nicely subverting yourexpectations of city skylines. And the service was killer, too. Our server was kind, patient, witty, helpful, and very easy onthe eyes?everything you want in a waitress! Another guy, possibly the chef, came out and checked on us once, too, but neitherone was overbearing or anything. We were only passing through Stockton, but from what I saw The Downtowner may well be the bestpart of this city. Top notch, boys and girls. Read more

I?m on my vegan journey and I found this place online and decided to try it based on reviews. The service and food were really... good. I got the mushroom tacos and a veggie wrap with vegan cream cheese (it?s off menu but they?ll still make it if you asknicely). They have several vegan options and of course regular options. I will definitely be going here again. Read more
First time there today. Absolutely LOVED the food. Had a green smoothie with tons of antioxidants, and shared a burger (which... was not greasy and cooked just right), three Portobello tacos, a salad and truffle fries. They were all to die for! And theattention was outstanding too! Read more
