“Dewz has been one of me and my wife's favorite restaurant! We travel all over the world and eat at very nice Michelin star restaurants. Dewz definitely matches quality and service and will stand toe to toe with any nice restaurant in California or around the world that claim to be the best. I have never had a bad service or a bad food night. Oh, and their classical playlist to modern music is also a very nice touch! If you complain about the price here, then obviously you don't respect the quality of food and service that they provide. If you ever thought about going, just go! You will not regret it!”

“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!”

Absolutely Outstanding Experience at Chinn’s International Restaurant!
From the moment we walked in, Chinn’s International Restaurant delivered nothing short of excellence. The ambiance was warm and inviting, the service was top-tier, and the food—absolutely phenomenal. Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor, beautifully presented, and clearly made with care and expertise. It’s rare to find a place that excels across such a diverse menu, but Chinn’s does it with ease.
A very special thank you to Patrick, who went above and beyond to make our evening unforgettable. His professionalism, attention to detail, and warm personality elevated the entire experience. Patrick made us feel like VIPs from start to finish, and his recommendations were spot-on. You can tell he genuinely cares about the guests and takes pride in his work.
If you’re looking for an exceptional dining experience, Chinn’s International is the place to go. We’ll definitely be back—and we’ll be asking for Patrick”

“DELICIOUS FLAVORS make you wish we could dine here every day. The best tacos we have ever tasted by far!! We dined on tacos de birria, tacos de longenesa and tacos de Cameron. We picked our plates clean to savor every lasting tasty morsel. The chef says that he has been a culinary professional for 28 years! He shared stories of his travels in Europe and all throughout Mexico to gain the knowledge and flavors of the different regions. We recommend a trip inland from the Marina Walmart to this little street side Cafe to tantalize your taste buds. They will thank you. Keto and vegan options were appreciated as well. ?”

“WOW!
I've attempted to come here a few times not realizing it was during the midday close, however today we came for dinner. I am so glad we did. The service was exceptional and thoughtfully attentive but not overbearing. The pan fried gyozas were delicate and flavorful. The spicy edamame were the most flavorful and well balanced I've tried in town(and I've tried them all). I got the (haha) Dirty old man roll and every bite was delicious and well rounded. The miso soup was perfectly hot and the hot sake was filled to the brim. All in all an absolute pleasure of a dining experience. 10/10 my only regret is not coming here sooner.”

“Bella Italia is very nice place for dinner while in town. It is not the best ever, but we were quite happy with almost everything we ordered. The place is really pretty and the prices are fair.
We just loved the service. We were seated straight away. They have a nice wine list. Our server knew the menu well and was fast but we never felt rushed. I would make a reservation. We were there on a weekday and ate early so we were in great shape.
Most of the food we had was great. The minestrone soup was just perfect. We also loved our salads. I had the chicken marsala and it was just so melt in your mouth wonderful and packed with yummy mushrooms. We also had the ravioli in a white sauce that was so good. I would get that again. Finally, we had fried ravioli and it was good, not great. That I will not try again. There is just too much thick crust for me, but you might love it. The ravioli within the crust was very good.
All in all we would come back. We just loved the service, the calm atmosphere and the vast majority of the food.
Give them a try.”

Up until now the best Italian food I’ve ever had was when visited our daughter in San Diego and we always go to Buono Forcheta in the South Park area. Gusto is as good as they are. The depth of flavor in the bolognese sauce is amazing. The lasagna is also amazing. The other nice thing is that the kitchen is out in the open behind the bar area and you can watch the chef work his magic if you want to sit at the bar.”

It seems the meat was marinated before the green sauce. It really had good flavor. The biscuits and gravy was good. Middle of the road gravy but the biscuit really stood out. It was almost like a shepherds bread. I really liked that. The absolute star of the food was a surprise to me. It was the Turkey Melt! I usually try different things but the waitress suggested it and it was tops. I really couldn't find anything they could do better.”

“Simple ordering online and pickup, this boba cafe is conveniently nearby the freeway exits. Parking is plenty, you'll have to meander through the long in-&-out line. Inside the cafe were many tables and seats you can comfortably dine at. Single bathroom inside but must ask for their key.
We ordered the house milk tea and black sugar assam. Preferred the house milk tea, as it had better flavor and perfect amount of sweetness.”
“My wife likes the Menudo that they prepare here. It is one of the places where the flavor of Guadalajara Menudo is best and they always serve you well. Well, at least I don't have any bad experience. Maybe there was a group playing, the truth is, I don't even know if they have live music on Sundays or it was just for that day, but I didn't ask, I owe it to them.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Absolute Hidden Gem — Modesto, Don’t Sleep on This Place! Can’t say enough good things about Burly’s Bistro. This place is truly one of Modesto’s best-kept secrets (unfortunately) — and it deserves to be packed every night. We came here for my mom’s birthday dinner with a large group of 18–20 people, and from start to finish, everything was flawless. We ordered a variety of appetizers — the cheese board, Brussels sprouts, lamb meatballs, and almond-crusted chicken skewers — and every single dish was packed with flavor and beautifully presented. Even with a group our size, all the food came out at the same time, hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious. The kids were served first (huge win for the parents!), and the service throughout the night was nothing short of exceptional. In a time when good service is rare, Burly’s truly goes above and beyond. Every single person at the table was impressed — most had never been there before, and every one of them said they’d be back. And while that birthday dinner was amazing, it wasn’t a one-off. Before moving out of the area, I’d eat lunch at Burly’s about once a week. The food was consistently top notch, never hit-or-miss like so many other places. You always knew you were getting something great — and honestly, it's one of the spots I miss most since we moved away. I still crave it. Incredible food. Incredible service. Unmatched value. Modesto, this is the kind of local business we should all be rallying around. If you haven’t tried Burly’s Bistro yet — do yourself a favor and go. You won’t be disappointed.”

“Phenomenal venue with a great atmosphere, catering and service staff. We've had multiple events and meetings at this spot and have yet to have a bad experience.”
Brewery • $$
“I had a few tasters to see what I liked, but none really stood out. I only sipped each one. One of the bartenders asked if I even liked beer and felt they were annoyed even though it was not busy. I said that I do like beer and felt pressured to make a decision. Theirs just left an unpleasant bitter taste. The Pina colada was the winner. I remember it last time I was there. As per the food truck, I ordered a regular burrito, asked if it was spicy, and she assured me it wasn't. Paid $13.00 for a burrito regular. I could only take two bites of it and was extremely hot, not even mild. Disappointed. I'd prefer to leave a better review, but it wasn't great.”

No one else in the restaurant has had the same problem. Guest received exactly what was advertised and it was delicious! It is fathers day today and I am going back for the brunch! I'm looking forward to the delicious food and seeing the friendly staff. Keep up the great service all! I recommend Georges steakhouse to all and Austin... stay home.”

“This place is wonderful from the time you walk in until the time you leave. You are immediately happily greeted by their staff, seated and chips and dip are on their way, asked about drinks and here they are. Service is great and food even better. Tee is friendly and very pleasant. I can't believe the review about the customer who had the problem and Tee the manager said "so." I have been going there since they opened and never have I experienced any of the staff being rude. The place is clean and one of my priorities. I would highly recommend giving it a try. You won't be disappointed.”

“Came her for a late lunch while we were waiting for our tires to get changed nearby. Friendly lady took our order. We tried their quesabirrias (picture), we actually liked the chivo (goat) birria better than the beef/res. It was very good, enjoyed the crunchy cheese on the outside of the tortilla too. Also tried a taco de canasta de chicharron y frijol. It was VERY GOOD. Like something from my grandma’s house lol. We tried the tacos de asada too they were pretty good. The nice thing is they have the salsas and onions/cilantro you can add yourself. Over all good experience since we had never been here before ? price wise pretty good too. We ordered quite a few items and got Mexican cokes (glass bottle) too and paid about $40.”

I made a mistake reading the app offer and they were so great about helping me out. We came in for my son's birthday treat.
The customer service is great, and as expected they are great with kids and families.
I recommend asking a member to ring you and and help assist you when redeeming offers.
The manager and staff were especially helpful and we had such a great experience despite my mistake today.”

Brunch • $
“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.”

“This place is excellent! The restaurant is very clean every time I come here. The combo pho is really good. The walnut prawns is my favorite fried breaded prawns with a sauce and walnuts on top of a mound of cabbage with its own sauce with steamed rice. The different flavors are a delight and mix together wonderfully. One of my favorite places to eat.”

“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.”

“Unfortunately, we saw some customers leaving because that day there were only 2 waitresses on duty and some people didn't have patience to wait.
Me and my daughter and I were lucky to step into the restaurant 5 minutes before those people.
After all, good food, good attention, good atmosphere.”
Salad • $
“I ordered a custom made protein bowl. I read the reviews from others and people complain that the meat was always over cooked. I love WELL done meat, no pink for me. So when I ordered chicken and beef. I got medium well, which had pink 🤪. Wasn't happy but my fault. They do give you options for well done. Will definitely ask next time. The peanut thai sauce was good 👍, would have liked more of the sauce. Overall the bowl alittle pricy $23 for 2 meats. I still felt it was worth it because it was a very big bowl and feeds for 2. So for 2 person, will order again.”
