Jerk n around - (Near Merced, CA)

Anthony Giang On a cold Thursday evening, my partner and I made our way over to Goodtime Bar. Ming, one of the bartenders, had graciously invited us to come check out this spot and it definitely lived up to everything he said it was. As you first enter, you walk up to the stunning bar where the best bartenders greet you with wine and walk you through both the menu and different drinks. After ordering, you find a table(interior seating is limited), and you put up your designated number placard. After sipping on our wine and waiting a short bit, our first bites came out. The first thing we received was this awesome beef tartare on sourdough. The texture and flavor on this dish were perfect. Next up, we had the Tom Yum pasta which was also fantastic. Flavor wise the tom yum was strong and balanced out. Furthermore, we ended our entrees with the steak frites which was also perfect. From the cook of the steak to the McDonald’s esque fries and the herbaceous sauce, everything was so delicious on this dish. The portion was also extremely generous. Finally, we got their miso creme brulee which was so delicious as well. There was a perfect crunchy sugar layer on top with a buttery smooth custard inside. The whole vibe of this place was immaculate, and the food matched. From the warm and inviting bartenders like Ming, to the chef inspired dishes coming out of the kitchen, this place blew me away. Genuinely this may be one of the best restaurants I have tried in the past year, and I couldn’t recommend it enough. Side note, there is also a parking lot right in front of the restaurant but they charge $20, so it may be more worthwhile to find parking around the area.

Nikolas Dramountanis This lady had the recipes going on, her chicken mole is amazing… I lived in Mexico and the flavours are super authentic!!! would recommend

Adrian Montfort Holy guacamoly. We ended up having an impromptu Sunday lunch and boy were we blown away. Service is top level, ambience and decor is perfect. But the food, omg! Coconut curry mussels and burger to share and we were blown away. Key lime pie for dessert was thicc and decadent. This is an extremely lucky find in Mission Bay and will be our new happy hour from now on.

Danielle Roel We ordered the og crispy burger and the one with hash brown in it, and got French fries and onion rings on the side. The food was very fresh and hot, it tasted homemade and had great flavors. The Jamaica is also really good and not too sweet, just the right level of tart. The staff is really friendly and hospitable, the girl (I didn’t get her name) went above and beyond. We also liked that they had games on TV. We will definitely be back!

Emma Torres Just ordered a spicy gyro philly with the fries. Oh my gosh its so good. Im not in town often, but this is so delicious, its gonna be my go to meal here at the mall.

Lopez Huong (Karen Lopez) We had a delicious dinner here. The staff was so friendly to accommodate us and our child. We didnt have reservations on a Friday, but luckily they were able to seat us. We love the homemade bread with marscapone, double fried mushrooms, fried chicken and we added caviar, and the scallops. Also the cocktails are amazing! I hope they make a kids menu option someday. We definitely will come back soon! Love the ambiance too.
