“My server Alys, the cook Ricardo, and cashier Emma made me and my fiancés day! We stoped in for a quick bite to eat for the first time and was met with some of the best customer service with a smile and one of the very best double bacon mouth watering cheeseburgers that I have ever tasted! Alys was on top of her game, made me feel like I was family! She manicured our table really well and made sure our drinks was always full and also made sure we had everything possible to enjoy our lunch! Emma was great also and made sure to let us know that she would love to see us back soon! 10+ stars for this awesome establishment in the heart of Escalon!

“Stopped in for lunch off the 99, had the Never forg-OTTEN salad....holy moley, so fresh, delicious, & generous portion! The Sierra Echo burger was also really good! Super well maintained & clean restaurant. Employees were friendly & attentive. Will definitely be back!“

“Looked at this place a few times and my husband and I finally stopped by today. Taylor is super sweet and attentive. I appreciated her suggestions as they no longer carry the beyond burger. Most places don't care and will let you look at the menu or leave but she came back by and let me know everything they could make vegetarian and how the could accommodate me. Super kind of her and it let us know how much she cared. We stayed and the food was great. Another great place to add to our lunch dates. Everything was cooked to order. Great ingredients and produce was fresh. It wasn't loud and the temp inside was cool for it being hot outside. My husband enjoyed his burger it was cooked perfectly and he said the bacon was great...crispy not whimpy and not burnt it was just right. My soda was fizzy and it was clean inside. I had a wonderful grilled cheese with all the produce. The tomatoes were delicious you could tell they would go great on their BLT.Thank you Taylor!!!“

“Love the Velvet! Cute little Diner right on McHenry serving classic American diner food. As big as Modesto has gotten, when you step into the Velvet, Modesto feels like a small town again where strangers greet you with hello and you're guaranteed to bump into someone you know. The servers are always pleasant, and their weekend cook is the best. If you've never been, you're missing out.Parking: Large parking lot in backKid-friendliness: Family friendly. They even make their own ice cream.“

“Shucks, I forgot to take pictures of my delicious French dip sandwich, thin sliced tri tip, mushrooms, and provolone cheese served on a french roll with seasoned fries.

“We went last night and met a friend who brought her baby, and the customer service was just exceptional. I paid for dinner but was holding my friends baby and distracted and i definitely realized later I didn't tip enough so I just wanted to shout out. I don't recall her name but she had blond hair and glasses and she was awesome. We have never been here til last night but I would 100% go again and that gal deserves all the positive feedback. 10/10. Food was good as well.“

“I recently dined at Wildfire Public House and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was inviting and the staff were incredibly welcoming. Now, onto the food – where do I even begin? Let's start with the wagyu burger; it was cooked to perfection, juicy and flavorful, with each bite bursting with deliciousness. The ribeye was simply divine, cooked exactly to our liking and melting in our mouths with each savory bite. The pasta was a delightful combination of perfectly cooked pasta and a rich, creamy sauce that left us wanting more. And let's not forget about the butter cake – it was the perfect ending to our meal, with its crisp outer layer, the buttery goodness left us in dessert heaven. Overall, Wildfire Public House exceeded all expectations with its top-notch quality food and impeccable service. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.“

“Had the Dubliner Dip and a Guinness, great food! Our server was very polite and always there when we needed her. Just a little sad that the fire wasn't lit, maybe because it was a Friday? We went on a Sunday a few months back and loved the ambience that it created.“

“We went here for the first time for our Valentines dinner this year. We had Brian as our waiter and he was fantastic. My wife has gluten allergies and he was super attentive to this all night.

“FIRST of all our service was over 5 stars, the whole staff was upbeat and friendly! My daughter and I were super indecisive so we ordered what our server Stephanie recommended. FROM the drinks to appetizers, I have to say were also over 5 stars! I’m a ppl person so when we walked in I can tell it was gona be an amazing experience. The Pork Belly Sliders were flavorful and not to thick, also the right amount of toppings inside, OHH and the cheese sticks, NOT mozzarella but CHEESE sticks were great, I personally will not do mozzarella sticks anywhere any more!!! And the drinks were not too strong or too sweet, your bartender ROCKS!!! Thanks Rivets, your boss should proud you all and himself for putting a great team together in a family friendly atmosphere! CHEERS!“

“Nice vibe...a lot of young people having a good time. Nice lighting. Had the charcuterie plate which was tasty. I am a bit surprised at the prices,; a bit higher than I am used to in Modesto. So I think that happy hour is a good time to go.“

We used to travel to Oakland or SF to get Vietnamese sandwiches I just finished eating half of my Banh Mi sandwich!! It is absolutely amazing and delicious!!

“At first we were hesitant to have dinner here, but everywhere you go in a Saturday night is always Jam Pack! This is a hidden gem for sur. It's not fancy, more like a diner vibe but very clean. The hostess and waitress were both very friendly and always kept checking g up on you mami g sure your drinks were topped off without even asking. Hubby ordered the grill salmon and I a lobster tail both cooked to perfection. The garlic shrimp was fresh and flavorful. Our least favorite item was the clams and mussels the were over cooked and lacked seasoning, compared to the devious garlic shrimp we ordered. I ordered a mojito I ask the hostess how they make them here soda verses sparkling water the bartender specifically came to our table and explained to me how they make it and how I would I like to have it he would do it. Needless to say it was perfection! Most defiantly going back again. This will be our new date spot the service was amazing, the place was clean and the food was fresh and delicious! We are so glad we found our new to go place.“

We will definitely be back!Kid-friendliness: Outdoor seating only so its a perfect spot for the kids!Parking: 10+ cars fit in the lot, and it's on a corner, so plenty parking on the side street.“

“First time having this restaurant. Ordered pickup via website. When I got to the restaurant, it was so busy but nevertheless my order was made right on time and delicious every meal made. Friendly service. I can see why this place stays busy.“

“I’m going to have to gush about the service as much as the food! These folks have a team spirit and vibe that just puts you in a great mood for your day! The food is super yummy and very “California fresh”. The portions are quite jumbo and the coffee is also a cut above what you find at most diners. Squeeze this place in to your breakfast/brunch rotation; we’ll be back for sure!“

“1st time coming.. seen pictures and some videos on Instagram, but it isn't like going in person, and let me say.. Wow..Wow..WOW. Very cozy on the inside and on the outside especially as the weather gets better..the outside Large patio section is beautiful.

“Came here after some shopping in the area and the place did not disappoint! You walk in and the bar length is huge. Like a gazillion people could sit at the bar. Staff and owners were friendly. Coors light on tap was a major bonus. Food choices are amazing. Everything for anyone. Keto/low carb options also on the menu. We will be back for sure!“

“This is a great breakfast joint if you live or visit the Ripon area. The interior has a homely vibe to it. They have bathrooms for men & women. They are open daily from 530am-230pm. Every time I have visited, I have been immediately greeted and seated. The wait staff in my experience has been great. It doesn't take long for someone to come by to introduce themselves and offer beverages while browsing the menu. The service has always been great from beginning to end. I typically order an omelette when I visit, but they have all the foods you would come to expect from places like this. There are a bunch of photos on yelp depicting the different foods and menu options. My opinion is their pricing is pretty fair for the quality of food. For the seniors (55 and up), they have a senior section in the menu with slightly discounted pricing. In my humble opinion, this is a great breakfast place that offers quality service, good tasting food and fair prices.“

“Changing my already good review to say I'm thrown back by how helpful a employee was when I couldn't find the au jus dipping broth on the door dash menu. I called and the guy said he'll throw one in for free. I placed the order and the man called me back, and asked if this was the order. You just don't find that kind of customer service anymore. Whomever he is. He's got my praise. ?? this was Saturday March 2nd around 8:45.“

“Can’t say enough great things about this Denny’s ???Best Denny’s we have eaten at ??The food and service was amazing ?A big shout out to Carmen she is not only the general manager there but was also our server. She was such a delight!!!Thank you so much Carmen for taking such great care of us We will be back soon ?SincerelyPatty and Victor Gallicchio“
