“This is one of my favorite places to go! The wine selection is wonderful and the staff is knowledgeable about the wines. The food is incredible. We always got the bruschetta with burrata and it's great. The balsamic reduction drizzled on the top with pesto and tomatoes is just lovely. We recently tried the smoke, whipped feta. We had a hard time not finishing the whole thing, it was that good! I've taken so many friends here. My company has get togethers here from time to time. At this point this place is just part of my culture. Camp 4 has been in Modesto for a while and we are lucky to have it!”

Hawaii Pot Shabu Shabu House 3848 McHenry Ave #205, Modesto Hot Pot • $$
3848 McHenry Ave #205, Modesto

“My first detailed review since this is one of the first AYCE hot pots in Modesto, and I want to give my thoughts about it, so apologies for the long paragraphs I'm about to type! Let me tell you something. It's been a hot, HOT minute that I've been to an AYCE hot pot, and it's in the Bay of course (e.g. Shabuway). I was curious to try this out yet it's one of the first locations in the U.S. (mainland), the rest are in Hawaii. By the ambiance, it was super clean and came in on a normal Tuesday with my dad, when they just opened. However, during the weekends, be prepared for the wait time, as it's best to be a bit early before it closes so that you have a chance to try this place. Now onto the experience. As usual AYCE Shabu Shabu places, you order the soup base and order your meat. During lunch (which I went), meat (unless you pay extra for their premium meat), the sides, and the sauce bar are unlimited. I picked the miso base while my dad picked the seafood base. The conveyor belt on the side to have easy access in getting your sides, which honestly is so cool to take as many as you like. Also if you order meat, there will be a cute train delivering them to you, which is also cool to see. For the taste? Chef's kiss. Miso is super rich and yummy, while the seafood is good too. Haven't tried the other flavors but planning to order some next time. You can only order one soup base though and can't change a different soup base. However you can ask your server to ask for more broth, just that the flavor will be in original. The meat is fresh and tender, as well as my sides complement beautifully with the soup. Dipping sauces also complement too, and that sesame sauce...my GOODNESS. It reminded me of one of the sauces I tried in a KBBQ restaurant. In conclusion, for the atmosphere, unlimited meat, sides, and sauces, plus the quick service, $24 for lunch AYCE is worth it. And especially since I didn't see one AYCE hot pot location in Modesto, this is a start for many people to hang out and enjoy the comfort of eating Shabu Shabu without driving to the Bay. Trust me, if you're waiting for an hour on a busy Saturday, it'll be WORTH. THE. WAIT. :)”

“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!!!”

Ive been looking for a legit local spot for ramen for a while now, and a lot of the places around here just fall flat. I feel the people preparing the food here actually care about the quality they put out to the dining room. Every aspect of the ramen was taken into consideration and it showed. I had the tonkotsu ramen with black garlic and cha shu, and it was absolutely amazing. The pork was roasted and seasoned well, the egg was properly marinated and the broth was deep and rich with flavor. I was so full but still wanted to finish what little I had left. I HIGHLY recommend and I can’t wait to go back. massive w.”

This was delicious!! 10/10. I got the chicken Marsala w/ rice pilaf and veggies. The rice pilaf and veggies were very good tasting but I did not like the chicken Marsala sauce.

“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.”

“I came in with family as they wanted to try this place. I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was! I'm always skeptical of Mexican food. I ordered their super tacos plate, which is something I would recommend. I ordered the carnitas, Al pastor and chorizo. Personally, the carnitas was the best tasting taco. The family ordered chicharrón and they really enjoyed it. Other family members ordered asada tacos. They said that they liked it, but it wasn't something they would get again as the carnitas was better tasting. A plate of BBQ ribs was ordered as well. They enjoyed the plate, however, they also ordered a super taco on the side. After that taco, they said that they would recommend the super tacos over the BBQ ribs. Even though the meat was super tender. The parking lot is small, and so is the inside. When we arrived, there wasn't many people eating in, however, there were several orders to go. It seems that most people go for their carnitas and the chicharrones. Would definitely be going back for more super tacos!”

I think it really makes all the difference when sushi restaurants are owned by actual Japanese people. The rice is better, theres a good balance between the rice and the filling, and they have real Japanese ingredients like gobo. The vegetable tempura and agadashi tofu were also delicious. Will definitely stop by again when we go out that way. The only thing, I'm surprised the prices were so steep for Modesto.”

2213 Yosemite Blvd, Modesto

“Jumpin' jambalaya! We love Huck's (AKA Huckleberry's)! This is Louisiana/Cajun style food. I say "style" because it is pretty "Americanized" or not as spicy as the real thing. However, I still really like it. In case you did not know: a lot of the Perkos in the area are being converted to Huckleberry's. They are owned by the same company. The only downside is that Huck's menu is not as vast as Perkos, and the hours are a lot shorter. Huck's closes at 3:00 pm. I posted a few photos. I love the special breakfasts that come with two fried green tomatoes! I had never tried a fried green tomato before. I love them at Huckleberry's! With their spicy ranch. The breakfast special is usually a bananas foster French toast. I like it a lot, I believe it comes with eggs (cooked to order), and bacon. Absolutely love that they will deep fry my bacon, and not microwave it like some restaurants do when you ask for crispy bacon. I love the gumbo too. We used to be able to substitute soup instead of fries, when we order the chicken strip meal. Now their register won't allow it. If you want soup it is separate, and not too cheap either. It was a better deal as a substitute. Or even if they had an add-on. That is one of my favorite dishes is a bowl of the gumbo soup! It has rice, tomatoes, okra, andouille sausage, chicken, and an extra helping of yum!! (Seriously good) It isn't spicy at all, which I like. My guys would like it to have a bit more kick. Their customer service is good too. The manager and the waitstaff are very friendly. Now, I'm wishing I was at Huckleberry's! I hear my stomach growling! Lol! Until next time...”

It would be nice if they had a choice other than chips or "you can buy a salad".UPDATE 5/20//23Tonight we attended a charity event for Community Hospice. The decorations were amazing. The food was all excellent. The Greek style salad was very flavorful and I especially liked the feta and olives. The main course beef was cooked to perfection and so tender. The couscous and carrot souffle were tasty sides. The Baklava was not as gooey as I'm used to, but still quite tasty.

Highly recommend, you won’t be disappointed. I rate Village Health Foods not a 10/10, but a 25/10.”

“The food and service was great. The kids got the grilled cheese with swaps of cheese allowed. The bartender was able to find a beer for this very non beer drinker. The pulled pork taco was a great combination of flavours and not fatty (sometimes pulled pork can be gross right? Not here!) there was a free arcade for my son to be entertained and the table spacing was roomy. Loved the wall art too! We'll make this a regular stop on our way to Yosemite for sure.”

“Love this bar!! All of the bartenders are great. They have security at night. I wish they had a better variety of snacks. Some nuts or beef jerky, even Popcorn would be great! I'm thankful they carry Peanutbutter Screwball because It's all I like to drink. Although, it's unfortunate that about once a month they run out of Screwball. In the past it would be so difficult for me to order something because I didn't know a backup drink. I'm so happy that Shannon a daytime bartender shared her recipe for a drink she calls "prozac" in the little book up by the register. Now when they are out of Screwball I can order me a prozac because they have a special book for special drink recipes. I feel like they aim to please. They just got an air hockey table that I absolutely love to play with my girl!Parking: Parking is located around the back.”

The food is amazing, filling, and it is made with natural nutrition and low calories to help me meal prep and watch my weight .

My bf and I were both pleasantly surprised to see cilantro on our rolls but the flavors tied together insanely well! I kept trying to add a little ginger or soy sauce to mine (standiford roll) but kept going back to the roll as ordered because it was already perfection. We both work in customer service and appreciated being checked on without being smothered, and our waitress made us feel comfortable when we were unsure on pronunciations ?Overall- absolutely recommend! Already dreaming of our next visit ?Vegetarian options: I noted a few menu items already made vegetarian. Also, the waitress said they can make adjustments to almost anything.”
