California Al's Restaurant — Restaurant in Lodi

My son Gunther and I have been loyal patrons of this charming diner for years now, and it's become a cherished part of our routine. The staff here has a remarkable way of making us feel like we're dining among friends, especially when it comes to their interactions with Gunther. What initially began as a one-time visit has since evolved into a heartwarming tradition of frequenting this establishment.

We look forward to many more years of delightful dining...
