AMAZING!!!! Two huge burgers, fries, beer, and a giant serving of Mac and cheese for only 65$. This place is a must try. Servers are friendly and food came out very quickly. Everything tastes homemade and I'm definitely coming back again!!

This is the best hamburger in Stockton, hands down! Always hoppin in downtown. Go soon and go often.

We stopped at this joint while we were at an appointment downtown and learned it was one of my colleague's (Jen's) favorite lunch spots from when she worked in the area! It was a rainy afternoon and the place felt very cozy, with warm, friendly waitstaff and dull chattering of patrons at nearby tables. My boyfriend enjoyed the beer selection while I sipped on a tasty margarita. The charred Brussels sprouts with balsamic drizzle and beer cheese mac were delicious! We treated ourselves to a warm cowboy cookie and brownie for dessert. It was the perfect afternoon pick-me-up and we look forward to visiting again!

Don't get me started about their burgers! So freaking fire but when I'm feeling like a skinny girl I get the southwest salad. We need more places like this in the valley. Recognition is needed where it's due. This is a town gem for sure. Btw their alcoholic beverages so good too

Excellent food, service, beer selection when you can't talk the judge into a hardship excuse! The pickles are the bomb.

Amazing food and stellar service. I would come back here in a heartbeat, not just for the great 2000s punk/rock playlist, but because they make a killer burger and the people are super friendly. Wait times are very quick here, and you order up front. The food is hot and made with care. Portions are also quite large, so you leave feeling full without a huge sticker price. If you're a beer drinker, you'll also love the selection.

Driving up to Calaveras for the weekend to check out the state park - dinner time fell right around the time we were driving near Cast Iron in Stockton - did a quick Yelp search - we decided to take a break and get a real meal vs. fast food. The beer selection was great - happy to find Pliney the Elder on tap and of course ordered that - tasted great and the food was much more than we expected - the tacos, the burgers, the fries, the TATER TOTS! All delicious. We didn't have high expectation, and we were so very pleasantly surprised. Plus, the employees were very nice and seemed happy enough to be there - we don't often end up in Stockton but hey, if you do, you should seriously consider eating and drinking here! -

Cast Iron has a really chill ambiance and great service! It's a little gem in downtown Stockton and tbh reminds me of an SF restaurant with how trendy it is. My favorite highlight from the restaurant was the Brussels sprouts tacos! Salty , sweet, and savory! Love that they have vegan and vegetarian options! I ordered a brownie to go and it was okay. I also had a few bites of skillet Mac from a friend and I felt it lacked flavor and was a bit dry. The staff were very friendly and attentive and even helped me decide what dessert I wanted to take home! It was a great evening. I will definitely revisit and try some more items on the menu.

Quite the find!! We were very excited to try out The Cast Iron tonight. First impression - whoa, what a cool place! We quickly learned that we needed to get in line to place our order at the counter then take a seat indoors/outdoors. The staff at the front counter were very friendly and able to answer our questions without hesitation. Additionally, I observed how well the staff worked together which says a lot about morale of the employees (and management). We placed our order and decided to take our cocktails and table-top order placard outside to sit since there was live music outside. No more than 10 minutes later our food was brought out. My one "itch" about our experience is that the food came separately. So while I'm sure my food was hot, I waited until my partners food was served before diving in. By the time his food arrived the outside air had cooled my food. Nonetheless, the food was still very good. I had the regular bacon cheeseburger with fries. The burger was cooked to perfection, melted cheese, touch of dressing and I totally appreciated the arugula on the burger. The seasoned fries were excellent as were the tater tots! There were large amount of tater tots and fries, plenty to share between the two of us, and even then we had leftovers which we gave to someone on the street. The sign reads "best burgers." We've only arrived to town a week ago, however, based on my experience this far, I would agree - best burger in town (so far)! We'll definitely be back!

First time here to see a band. Great beer choices. They also have cocktails. Food was delicious and very good! Service was amazing! We had burgers which came with lots of fries. Brussels sprouts were fabulous! Great flavor and stayed crispy. Totchos were a hit! Green Goddess Wrap was also good.
