The Graduate Restaurant

The Graduate has been part of Stockton’s dining life since 1972, according to its official history. The restaurant closed after a 2020 fire and the owning family rebuilt it, preserving its local identity while expanding its gathering spaces. Today it describes itself as a family restaurant and sports bar: games run on TVs, alongside arcade machines, group seating and daytime dining. The website also publishes events and online ordering.

The menu combines house burgers, pizzas, sandwiches, fried starters, salads and entrées; signature items include Grad Burgers, the Glendale sandwich, hand-dipped corn dogs and meat dishes such as tri-tip or ribeye. Recent comments highlight generous portions, comfort food, the arcade and a family-friendly space. The business does not advertise giant screens or a league-by-league sports package, so it is better for watching a game on restaurant TVs than for a stadium-scale audiovisual experience.

The venue publishes its address and phone number, along with official Facebook and Instagram accounts. Visit Stockton lists daily hours from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., while the business website and social pages may note changes or special events; confirm kitchen closing time before traveling. Sources reviewed do not specify restaurant-managed parking, so check local options and do not treat older reviews as a statement of current parking conditions.
