Almond Tree Restaurant & Lounge

Nice place to have a drink but don’t open a tab pay after every drink with cash. The Bartender Ashley charged me for 4 AMF when in reality I only got two of those and a sex on the beach. My girlfriend drank most of everything and so the bartender must have thought I was drunk and thought I was gonna sign the tab without looking. She did gave me back the money for one drink after I told her I didnt order 4 drinks but then later at home I realize a sex on the beach is a less expensive drink than the AMF so I still got charged more than I should of. One star only for dishonesty I like to think if I open a tab and I’m gonna drink that my money is still safe.

My girl told me about this place her family has been coming here for such a long time. The chicken strips are amazing. Diced ham and eggs are also good. The price here not so bad but not fancy more like a local family diner/​bar

I work nights and usually don’t have a bunch of options for great food at 5am. But Almond Tree is always there with my club sandwich or hamburger when I’m craving it. been a loyal patron since 2002 and love coming here food or just to have coffee while I clear my head. Wait staff is nice and accommodating.

This is THE place to go at Midnight (or 4 in the morning).
I have eaten here at least 50 times (over a 6 year period).
I never hesitate to bring out-​of-​towners here for a meal.
The waitress service is much-​Better-​than usual. If I mention that I am thirsty, she will always keep an eye on our glasses, and re-​fill them long before I am sucking on ice cubes.
About half the time, I have an Omelet. They have several, and most of them are fluffy and tasty. Their pork chops are really good … and the steaks are pretty-​good, along with the chicken. French fries are as good as anyone’s. And the salads ALWAYS have nice crisp lettuce, and fixings (and the soups are better-​than average).
The only time the food was really sub-​standard was the time the sirloin steaks were still frozen at cooking time, and (without mentioning this at order time) they were pretty awful. She apologized, and rushed out some delicious pork chops as a substitute.
Food-​to-​Go is available on all items. The carry-​out bags are almost over-​loaded, with ample quantities of all the goodies.

I came here about 10 years ago with my friend and her parents because they happened to know the manager. I ordered chicken strips and they were very delicious. While the manager came over to say hi to my friends parents, I left to the bathroom. When I came back, my last chicken strip was gone!!! The manager told me he ate it because he thought I was done. I didn’t know how to react so I didn’t say anything. Now, every time I pass by this place, I think of my last chicken strip that I didn’t get to enjoy. I still wonder to this day, what would life be if I have had that one last bite because my 13 year old self would never know. Where art thou delicious chicken strip?

Honestly not a bad place. It wasn’t too fancy, but what did you expect from an old school diner? The service was great! Our server was very kind & checked up on us a few times to make sure we had everything we needed. I tried their spaghetti which comes with a salad. I also asked for garlic bread & their garlic bread was nothing too special, but it was still good! My boyfriend & I will be back!

We stopped here really late one night. Service was great. They have a great menu and great prices. Food came fast and hot. great spot. Better than the local denny’s. Server kept checking on us and filled drinks frequently

Very nicely surprised reasonable price excellent food. Service was pleasant and warm. Traditional American fare and I am looking forward to my next meal here.

I was on a business trip and somehow ended up in Turlock. Only thing around open real late was this place besides fast foods and Denny’s. I had low expectation of the place since it was located out of nowhere. And the food wasn’t the best but given where I was and the price, it’s not a bad value. Plus they open 24hrs.
I would have gave this place 3 stars since it was mediocre, but Courtney gave me the best service I have received recently in a restaurant. She was very friendly towards all her customers with a smile and seemed to know all the regulars extremely well. And quick and prompt. It was a five star service.

Cook seems new or overwhelmed. Maybe both. Other cooks can make the food pretty lavishly though sometimes they don’t. Service is very good.

Old style diner food with good coffee. They also have dancing on the weekends with a dj

My friends and I came here around midnight hoping to get some good food to satisfy our munchies. We were disappointed when the food came out cold. After waiting a hour for the food it came out cold and dry. We ordered the burgers which were suppose to be delicious per our wait person. The burger tasted like microwaved beef jerky with a overly toasted bun. Our waters were never filled and we had to ask for the check after waiting half an hour to get it. Honestly I wish I would have gone to a fast food spot instead. I would have been at home and in bed by the time we got out food at this supposedly delicious drunk spot. Never again I say, never a again.

Good small bar to grab a drink. Pitchers are 11 for domestic and 13 for imports. Bartenders are friendly and quick to serve drinks

its great for drinks & music!

I’ve never had a problem with the service there, even when it was busy. The food is basic diner fare, and the portions are large. They daily specials are a good value for your money. If they have Huevos Rancheros on the breakfast special, then I highly recommend ordering it. And if the portions are a bit too big for you, they have a decent senior menu, which has smaller portions. IT is located next to a seedy hotel, but they have been fixing that up over the years, and there is a fence between the two parking lots, so it’s not really a problem. It’s located just off the freeway, so it’s good for a quick stop when you’re on the road.

Auful, Auful, Auful. and NO Customer service.
We ordered Hot tea, drank it 2 cups each, (18 minutes later) there was only two other tables with customers at them and a bunch of guys at the counter. After we drank our tea and I stood up to leave then she came over to take our order. Too Late.
Will never go back an will tell everyone about our experience. Waitress (s) are to busy making phone calls and entertaining the guys at the counter to wait on 2 old people.
Went to Latif’s downtown and had a wonderful dinner.

It’s kind of a «tweaker/​trucker spot» as my bf so brashly describes it lol. Right off the freeway next to a motel. You’ll see some characters. Foods not bad, but nothing crazy…
BUT
they do have good cherry pie. And for that they get 2 stars.
Only problem is the last 2 times I’ve gone they’ve been all out of cherry pie. No bueno.

Had breakfast here. Nothing to write home about, but not bad at all of the prices. Lots of food, big portions. Old-​style diner and friendly staff.

For a greasy spoon type of place to get breakfast for a super reasonable price, when in Turlock I’d deffinately reccomend this place. Been here on and off over the past 4 years and it doesnt seem to change, though the pork chops are at times thicker then others, you will not leave this place hungry.
