COFFEE HOUSE/CAFE
Texas Roadhouse is well-placed at the Grant Line Road exit of Interstate 205. The location, comfort food, friendly staff and fact that they are open 7 days a week put them at the top of the list for Tracy residents.

Shopping at the big name home supply stores can make you feel a lot of different things: wonder, awe, child-like avarice . . . But only M&M Builder’s Supply, recently voted the Tracy area’s worst lumberyard and nursery, can make you feel pure pity! Since 1946 we’ve prided ourselves on mediocre quality, unreasonable prices, a bumbling sales staff and location that gets closer and closer to Turlock with every passing year. Come on by and see what you haven’t been missing. Just like that two-star motel you stayed in during your last vacation, you won’t believe your eyes.
WE’RE NUMBER FIVE! The New York Mets. The Los Angeles Clippers. The Jamaican bobsled team. M&M Builder’s Supply. Almost sixty-five years of bringing up the rear.
