“The food was great. They don't skimp on the portion and the food comes out nice and hot. The little ice cream at the end of the meal was awesome. This was our first time there and will definitely be back.“

“as a local this is my go to bar. the bartenders are all super friendly and actually care about their customers! the drinks are affordable and the vibe is lowkey it’s not super bougie like other places which i appreciate. it’s a great place to relax and have a drink.“

“Love this place!! The food is always amazing served by friendly people“

“My husband and I tried this place for the first time last Monday. It was great! We had the outside area near the outdoor fire to ourselves. The food and drinks were on fire LITERALLY. The portions were very big so I would say it’s worth the money. Two people could easily share an entree. The drink didn’t taste that good and they did forget to add shrimp to my pasta but besides that it was a very nice night. We would try this place again!“

“It was my first time at Perko's and I definitely will be back . The food was excellent and the service was great. I appreciated the young lady who served us, she came to check on us at least 6 times after serving the meal. Try Perko's, you won't regret it.“

“Thank you Taylor for your usual outstanding customer service. You are always polite, professional and go above and beyond when it comes to tending to all of my requests. I am always thankful and happy when I walk in and your smiling face is there and awaiting to serve my table. I drive from Manteca to eat at your establishment at least three times a week. Hope that I have the privilege of having you serve my table the next time I drop by. keep up the good work!?⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐?“

“Order the nachos. Wow, talk about a HUGE portion. Yeah, even though I ate some until I was feeling full, I still had so much leftover. That when I asked for a to go box, it was so full I could barely get the box closed. U can order it with either chili Verde or chili beans served topped with guacamole & sour cream & pico gallo & a roastedjalapeño & plenty of grated cheese melted all over it. I asked the waitress if I could order it with half of the Chili Verde & half with the chili beans. She said, "Sure, no problem." They were so delicious. I would definitely order them again. U sure are getting so much more than what U pay when U oder the nachos.“

“Good food. More than you can eat for the price“

“Just a great staff and very well coordinated and attentive.“

“The service was great! Little hiccups with woman at front desk. That person seems to be a little nit picky with customers and staff. Come to find out she's a manager. It really sets the tone for the employees but the employees seem to overcome and are really customer focused! We love Cassandra and Deanna, and especially the woman who replenishes the food. They are always pleasant and prioritize customer and cleanliness.

Parking: There were construction guys and landscapers blocking entrance. We tried to wait and they gave us a look and waved us on like we were being unreasonable for waiting. What egos!

Kid-friendliness: They treat the little ones like people.“

“excellent service , excellent drinks recommended 👍“

“The Taphouse is an awesome place to hangout with family and friends. Friendly and helpful staff and good food and beer options. The events they host are a great way to get involved in the community.

Kid-friendliness: Very family friendly.“

“The food is awesome and the price is great! I highly recommend dining in at the post!“

“We pulled into the Rivets American Grill because Abalone Pete has a hankerin for one of the gals there. It's been some time since he's been there, and he says she wasn't there but I think he lied to me because he didn't want me to see her. We had about an hour and a half still to drive before we got to the cotton fields so we filled up with some pretty Awesome food! And let me tell you something...the stuffed chicken breast was beyond Amazing!
5 stars and worthy of a two hour drive! ☆☆☆☆☆“

“3rd stop in 15 years… if I’m within 2 or 3 hours I’m gonna go, and I live in Alberta, Canada!!! Best grilled oysters and attitude ever. Highly recommended. My first stop was “just passing through “ in 2008.“

“Excellent food and service. I like to sit at the counter. That way I can see the cute lady cooking. I want to asked her for a date.“

“Enjoyed the grilled Halibut with lemon, capers, and cream sauce dinner with perfectly cooked vegetables and white rice, and a house salad. And our server, Kyle, was excellent and welcoming. We’ve had Kyle as our server at lunch and he’s always happy, welcoming, and an excellent server. Highly recommend you try Mike’s Grillhouse for lunch or dinner. They have a great variety of choices in their menu. You won’t be disappointed. Their portions are plentiful enough to be able to split a meal if you don’t have a big appetite. They have a Beer & Wine only license, I believe. The Wine Margaritas are very good. Try them— in shopping area east of Costco— You won’t be disappointed.“

“Service is terrible. Been here 3 times and have walked out twice after waiting 45 minutes and the waitress never even came over to take our order. Gave them 2 chances and we are done. We will never step foot back in here again. They took 3 other tables that came in after us orders and we never even got a hello frok our waitress“

“I took my kids in to bjs and they loved it Carisa took very good care of us one of the best experiences we had eating out will definitely be back and if you go you should definitely ask for Carissa 💯“

“Great service! Good food & friendly staff“

“Just a great staff and very well coordinated and attentive.“

“This is my first time eating here at Gillman's. I ordered a double fat boy w/cheese, (no relish, no onions) with a side of garlic fries and a pineapple shake. The attitude and friendliness of the staff, show you their appreciation for your business. The down to earth, chill atmosphere is a nice place to sit down and enjoy a meal. The food. . .let me tell you about the food music I could taste. From the fresh grilled london broil beef patties to the lightly sweet cool crunch of the lettuce and tomato. Garlic fries had just the right amount of diced garlic and melted cheese to not overpower any other item that it is ordered with. Everything was perfectly cooked to order with an intent to satisfy the most famished of customers. Truly great food with reasonable prices! Go and try for yourself when you're in Oakdale!“

“What a solid solid place. Enjoyed our time there, great food and customer service was next level. Very nice setting, don’t sleep on this place Modesto.“

“Absolutely amazing I had bro burger with garlic cheese fries. I tried for the first time today via door dash and they packed the food perfectly and made sure it stayed closed until it got to me. I appreciate that extra step to make sure the food stays safe, that I am the only hands to touch it 😊 I recommend my whole family this place. I can taste the freshness in the meat. Seasoned to perfection. I will be back again… and again! Best burgers in Modesto!“

“Food is great! There busy but service is still good, friendly staff! Oh yeah did I say the food is great!!“

“Amy is amazing. She knows the menu like the back of her hand. She makes sure you are taken care of. 10/10 service and food too. The food always comes out at a good time and it is always the way you like it. Grilled onions on the hash browns… I will be back“

“I door dashed my food. All three items were outstanding. The chicken that comes with the garlic noodles was perfectly cook and seasoned perfectly. You guys killed with the Pot stickers. They had chunks of chicken! Not over processed and light and cooked for the perfect chew. The dipping couldn't be any more perfect and just the right heat. Thank you and I am going to put a plug in Facebook. I'm looking forward to my next meal.“

“Typical bar food, burgers, beer, sandwiches etc. Food is great and drinks are cold, a nice bar that definitely gets popping at night, Wednesday nights are Karaoke nights which are fun to get up and sing. Every day they have some type of special, whether it be beer or food.“

“I enjoyed this place for Monday night NFL game. Smithwicks beer was really exceptional for a well rounded beer. It has a leading full flavor with very slight hoppy finish. Nothing at all like IPA hops just enough to know it’s a beer. Fish and chips were ok. I don’t like the heavy batter. They are big pieces but 50-60% batter. It is cod so I liked it after leaving behind a lot of fried batter. It does have good flavor so I did leave some batter on it. Still there was a lot left over. Service was great.

Parking: The staff/service was exceptional.“

“Had dinner here last night for the first time! Service was great, food was wonderful! Two of us had the ribeye and they were both big, beautiful, juicy and perfectly cooked steaks! Best Ribeye I've ever had at a restaurant! Our other friend had the shrimp pasta and said it was delicious..Atmosphere is more like hole in the wall diner with a big bar than upscale steak house, but we Loved it anyway and the cocktails were delicious too! Will definitely be back again and again!“

“Celebrating My wifeys Birthday“

“This place Rocks! Just look at the reviews, even the people that want to complain, cant really complain because their server got their back. Its just a damn happy place. You do literally squeeze in and its always a bit noisy. The sounds of amazing people enjoying life. Just dont do as I did and drink mimosas before breakfast or you will break very fast. My sister tripped over the same stone. What im trying to say is that a couple mimosas got this liquor drinker drunk, soaked, like a donut left too long in a cup of milk to where it disintegrates.“

“THE GRAND SLAM IS BACK!!!!“

“The service was great and the food was good 😋😋“

“We ordered 2 medium pizzas this evening and I fed my 2 sons who are both chiefs and they were so impressed. We all enjoyed it very much.“

“Great trivia Wednesday. Excellent BBQ bacon burger and fries.“

“It was very good. I love the Cobb salad with the prime rib added“

“Great food, fun atmosphere & close to home!! 5stars!!! *****“

“My sister and I ate at RR yesterday and our server Jessica was amazing! We had to sit in the bar because the restaurant was full, and we were lucky to get the last table in the bar. Despite it being absolutely packed in there, Jessica was super attentive and brought us refills when she noticed we were low. Our food was hot, well presented, and delicious (although the pineapple on the burger I had was undercooked and hard to chew). The burgers came out pretty quick after the appetizers, but we ordered enough food for leftovers, so I didn't mind that much. We didn't feel rushed and were left in peace to enjoy our meal without interruption, knowing Jessica was keeping watch and anticipating our needs. It was my last meal out of the house for 3 months as I'm having neck surgery next week, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Thank you, Jessica!“
