Finley's Grill - Manteca

Hubby and I stopped here for lunch, it was empty. That made me concerned but gave it a try anyway. The menu had a lot of selection on yelp but when we showed up she was up front about only accepting cash and gave us a one page menu for a handful of selections. This restaurant is away from any place people would want to frequent so I understand they are keeping costs down. There were NO vegetarian options except for salads and that was disappointing. My husband enjoyed his burger and fries and the lady serving our table was courteous. My salad was alright but I would 've picked another restaurant if there was another sit down place nearby. Seeing a Trump sign and MAGA hats in the dining area was a total turnoff.

Best place to have a beers, and drinks with the fellas in the central valley. The Finley burger is a must try. Price per person: $30–50 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

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

I went back a couple days later and had a great dinner. I had a medium rare tomahawk steak, loaded baked potato and broccoli. It was all prepared very well. The steak was cooked just right. It was large enough for 2.5 meals for me. I even gnawed on the bone! The potato was very good, as were the veggies. My friend had the filet mignon. It was large, cooked to her liking and she said she it was very good. The restaurant was pretty quiet, only a couple of other tables, but it was a Thursday night, so it might have just been quiet. It allowed my friend and I to chat comfortable through dinner. We were inside looking out onto the patio, which was very cute. There was a homey, rustic victoriana feeling to the restaurant that carried out onto the patio and even into the restroom. The service was excellent. Debra served us and told us about the history of the property while she kept our glasses full and made sure we had everything we needed. My friend and I both said on the way home that we wished Debra had had more time to sit with us and talk. We both really liked her. I I'm looking forward to have a nice cozy dinner on the patio with more friends. I still would love to see their menu on their website, including the times the kitchen is serving. One caveat: THIS IS A CASH ONLY ESTABLISHMENT. However, they do have an ATM on site.

This is a splendid charming restaurant with a great simple menu and comfortable ambience. The owners make you feel like family and pay close attention to any needs throughout the meal. I had the tomahawk steak special which was seasoned to perfection and extremely juicy. Highly recommend Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
