“ Stopped in for an early weekend dinner. We tried about a week ago a bit later (6pm) and it was packed with too long a wait :( so glad we came back to try because everything tasted amazing and cooked to perfection. This place lives up to the rating. We enjoyed the steak nachos for an app, entrees we loved the fish and chips, chicken Alfredo and the peanut butter burger. Tasted so great that I dug in before taking pics...staff were welcoming and friendly and food came out at appropriate times and was hot and fresh. Fish and chips were perfect! Nicely fried, not too greasy and the waffle fries weren't overdone. We were hesitant about the peanut butter burger but it's strangely delicious and works!! Our son, who is particular about his Alfredo, really enjoyed the pasta. Upon recommendation we did steak nachos to start and with house made chips, these were so delicious we were scraping the plate to get every last bit :) so many items to choose on the menu that looked amazing, will be back to try something new soon. Drinks, apps, entrees and dessert for 3 was $140 which included a generous, well earned tip. Lastly, the beignets, soooo warm, fluffy and tasty (comes with chocolate dip). Order comes with five so def shareable!! Try chapter 2, you won't be disappointed. ”
“ Chapter 2 food was amazing ! The daily special and karma special exceeded our expectations . The meat was perfectly cooked , without a request for well done . I usually don't like my burger under cooked . The server was super friendly and the owner was checking on the tables . We are for sure going back to try the pasta dishes and salads.. the whole menu really . It was a great place to meet with family . Very family and friendly atmosphere which can only be accomplished with good service and good food ! ”
“ Oh how we LOVE YOU Chapter 2!!! You've consistently been not only delicious but such a warm and friendly environment with amazing service, that we love coming to eat together as a family (especially since theirs so many options that we all love)! I've been a fan for a long time but decided to update my review today and now (while I sit in the establishment) because I just devoured the best chicken Marsala I've ever had. Don't get me wrong, I've had it here before while it was on special prior to becoming a menu item, but to see that it's made its way to the menu just made my whole year!! They make the Marsala sauce so perfectly rich flavorful, I could never get enough! I seriously could lick my plate! Thank you for sharing your love for delicious food, with a cheers like atmosphere! You guys are the best!! We'll be back, like next week and every week after. lol ”
“ Sooo yummy! Def want to have this again. Go to go and plating was nice , also food was hot and fresh. food was ready on time and heather and her crew are amazing even on a busy night! still one of my favs in tracy. ”
“ Chapter 2 has been on my list of curiosities for quite some time now- finally made it in this evening. Tucked away into the corner of a small shopping center can make this restaurant and easy one to miss. With being on a "plant-based" structure as of late, this was the wrong spot for me! I came in with great intentions of getting the caprese... then I saw the peanut butter burger on the menu and it was game over. My hunt for the best peanut butter burger when I travel is much the same as my hunt for the best bloody mary. How did I not know there was a peanut butter burger right in my backyard? So of course... plant-based went out the window for the evening and the burger was ordered (along with the bruschetta). The burger was tasty, but I had to pack half of it to go. The bruschetta, the bread had a heavy salted flavor along with a char. I think the salt would normally be a bit much, but with the acidity from the bruschetta, it's actually a delicious bite. I'd order both items again. Our waitress, though I didn't catch her name, was also very helpful. ”
“ Always an amazing time coming here. I get to see and experienced the lively vibe. Service was great! Tasty food! Full capacity during dinner but really worth the wait. Always on top of the list to go to! ”
“ My first dinner at Chapter 2 and I was very impressed. The grilled chicken Alfredo pasta was simply amazing. I haven't had good pasta in a while, last was in Monterey. Anyhow it's not a fancy place at all, very friendly and kid oriented, they had games and a section in the restaurant for children. I also ordered a Cadillac margarita which was very delicious. It is not easy to find great drinks & food in the same place. Our server was very attentive. I will definitely return to Chapter 2. ”
“ Food 10/10 Fried Pickles is a MUST Chicken or Shrimp Alfredo is a MUST! Service 10/10 Staff is very attentive and personable. Owner is very warm & sweet. Atmosphere 10/10 Great neighborhood restaurant ”
“ AWARENESS: Chapter 2 opened a year or so ago, after Dave Helm, owner of Helm's Ale House passed away and his long time partner Heather entered into the next chapter of life (Chapter 2). Since its opening, I've had it book marked to try, especially after seeing all the raves about the food in both the local paper and in Yelp reviews. NARRATIVE: Chapter 2 opened in the location where Fabio's Italian Cuisine once stood. Inside, you'll find a decent size bar with a few seats and to the right, many dining tables with various pictures of Heathers life and friends displayed under the tables plexiglass. The first thing that caught my eye when the wife and I sat down at our table was, a small box on the table, stenciled with "Disconnect & Reconnect. Place phones here... Talk to each other!" WOW, way to go Heather. When it came time to order, I asked about the Karma. From the menu, it says "Karma - "you don't get what you want, you get what you deserve. Our choice. Our creation." Our server told me, each time someone has ordered the Karma, it's been different so, I took the chance. It ended up being( Chicken Marsala smothered in a thick, garlic brown gravy and sides of mashed potatoes with sautéed green beans. AMAZING choice and AMAZING food! SCENE: As mentioned above. Chapter 2 is located where Fabio's Italian food was located. It's sits in a small strip mall at the corners of W 10th St. and B St. A small but cozy place. RECOMMENDATION(S): Keep it local folks. It's worth ever bit of your time money. ”
“ My sister recommended this place she loved the food . We had to pick a place to celebrate my parent's new home and my mom's retirement. It was 10 of us at this dinner . They do not have reservations so what we did was we showed up at 430 when they re- open the restaurant for dinner . Once's we arrived right after us people started to show up . So if you have a large party I recommend showing up early . Once we walked in on the left there is a phone looks like an old payphone but once you look closer It says to pick up to hear the voice of an Angel . It's so sweet !! it's someone singing and that is the way to keep his memory alive I loved the idea. The restroom is very interesting I loved all the pictures on the wall and quotes . I loved the ambience everyone was happy and friendly. They have a cute bar set up also . The food was all amazing I got the wedge salad my favorite part was the apples in it . The Kentucky Burger is a must have.. So so good ! Everyone else had pasta and burgers we all loved our food very good . They offer beers on tap, wine and liquor from the bar. I would suggest having like a signature cocktail drink . Overall we loved it here . I highly recommend checking it out . ”
