“We had one of the best experiences at Olive Garden. Our experience was a five-star rating due to our server Brittany. She went above and beyond our expectations. We will make sure to ask for her when we go. She was the best!!”
“Meal was somewhat ok; got a baked potato with a skimpy bit of Corned Beef (that was WAY overcooked & tough to chew). Wait staff were xtra busy; but did provide ok service.”

Restaurants by Cuisine
“My sisters and I brought my mom here for her birthday. We let them know ahead of time and they had menus had “happy birthday” typed on them. We had several different kinds of drinks and entrees and they were all 10/10. The staff was very attentive and friendly. Will definitely be back!”
“Stopped here for drinks and dessert after dinner and enjoyed both! The chocolate cake was too rich for me personally but not terrible overall. Great service and ambiance. I'd love to return to try an actual meal.”

Restaurants with Delivery
“A favorite neighborhood of my loves that I was being taken to for the first time. The wine we had was delicious, the bread had texture and flavor, the spread was spicy and interesting, the Caesar salad was fresh and well dressed, the chicken saltimbocca was beautifully plated and nicely balanced and the spumoni Bomba was the bomb. Our server was attentive while giving us privacy. For what we got the prices were fair and the spend per person was below was only because of the wine and dessert. A lovely place for a lovely meal for a lovely date.”
“I normally don’t do reviews but after the experience that I had there on Wednesday morning I just have too. I got helped by someone named Jenna and I just have to say she was the sweetest person I’ve ever met. She made me feel welcomed and made sure my time there was great. I have health problems and she took her time to explain what flavors were sugar free and didn’t make it seem like I was a burden. The place was clean and inviting and I highly appreciate everything she did for me. She deserves employee of the year!”

“My husband and I went for a day before v-day dinner. The hostess put us in a booth away from people. Very intimate for us. We don't get a quiet time with a 1 year old, lol. The service was ok. Our waitress was spent more time with a customer at the bar (diner area) . The customer was a bit loud, while drinking. Other than that food was amazing we will be back again soon with our family and friends. Thank you for your hospitality.”

“It was date night, and Chinese came up on the wheel of "What's for dinner."This isn't the closest to us, so we ordered to go.Two #8's substitute Garlic chicken, with an order of egg rolls on the side.The pork fried rice was tasty and flavorful, a perfect side for the Egg Foo Yung, which was probably the best we have had! The garlic chicken was super crispy with a spicy garlic glaze/sauce from a jar (boo) and was very tasty, just not garlicky.Now the Egg Rolls? Bruh. SUPER crispy and not greasy 10/10. Get these if you have not tried them.I would suggest calling ahead to order since there is only one Amazingly awesome talented lady at the front, taking orders, checking orders, and doing their best.Every seat was open when we went.They cut and placed card board in the bottom of our to go bag so the food wouldn't jostle too much on the way home. 10/10Parking? Terrible. 2/10 Not their fault, not included in the review.”
“My husband and I went for a quick dinner last Monday. We Weren't too hungry and didn't want to order platters of food. So we decided to get something from the alacarte menu. The waitress was very accommodating indeed. We ended up with one Turkish coffee and their Old Fashion cocktail for drinks and Greek salad with salmon skewers! Was more than enough for us. Didn't feel overloaded with food. Thank you Skewers Kabob House for doing a great job to keep us coming back!!”
“Wine selection is good; sometimes they have better reds in stock, but their whites/roses are reliable. They’re the only semi upscale Modesto restaurant (and there aren’t many anymore; RIP Sundial) with a couple of decent vegan options. Service was excellent, parking surprisingly difficult. Best to make a reservation via OpenTable if you’re planning on a special occasion dinner. For some reason they close way early- 8pm.Vegetarian options: They do a good job offering several plant based dishes; will accommodate vegan requests plus there are clearly labeled vegan items on their menu.”

Perko's Cafe
“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. My brother ordered the chili Verde breakfast skillet, and he said it was scrumptious. The serve was impeccable, fast n friendly. The food came out quick n piping hot!!”
Online Reservation Available
“Food was DIVINE! These ladies care♥️ Special attention was paid to details of preparation, flavor combinations, and quality. Not a fan of lunchtime old guy patriarchal feel, but they must know where the good food is ?Will def return for lunch??”

“We went on Valentine’s Day. They had the staff but seemed overwhelmed with the crowd. They lost our reservation I booked online and called to verify my reservation the day before. They verified I had a reservation. I ended talking to the maitre’d and he said no reservations no problem seat you in back. I had a bad feeling. I told them that I verified my reservations but they said they couldn’t find it multiple times. Next time I’ll just call in ask who I talked to etc. anyways no appetizer they changed menu to a valentines menu with no bruschetta at all Italian restaurant shocker. We ordered it took over 45 mins to get food. I asked the waitress why she said we’re packed full in front. I have a feeling the front where I had a reservation was tended to first. The back was secondary. The food came the food was fantastic but no reason to be in a restaurant over 1 hour and a half . I understand it’s Valentine’s Day. They overbooked. After I paid I spoke to the maitre’d he apologized for the service and asked about the food I told him the food was great but I vented about the service. I worked for an upscale restaurant in the central coast and my brother a chef in an upscale restaurant in the Midwest. My concern don’t over book on a holiday. The food here is great one of the best in Modesto but service is spotty. My concern you gotta get the service back up to speed. I gotta thank Dave and the chef Jose for some great food! Thank you”
“One of the better burger places in the area. They definitely have the best garlic fries in town, and it's a very cute little diner. If you have a classic car you can get a free meal and your photo on the wall, so that's cool. Will continue to come here as long as they're open!”
“Wonderful people and great food! They're always so kind and courteous the entire time you're there. They'll even walk across the store to hold the door open for you-- which is totally unnecessary but absolutely appreciated. I've started coming here often. Try it out if you haven't!”
“Hubby and I recently went for our anniversary. The food was good, and our server was attentive. They even had the staff sign a card for us to celebrate our anniversary, which I thought was super sweet and thoughtful. The only negative for me was that I thought the lighting was a little too dim, but that is most likely my poor eye sight. Lol. Would definitely recommend.”
“Great food and nice servers. Restaurant clean and has a modern look. Only issue is that it's so dark in there. On a nice day out, there should be more light in this place. Don't mistake me though because I would definitely come back to this place. Might be a better place to go at night and a perfect first date ”
“Walking by, we spotted this restaurant bustling with activity, standing out amongst the other options within a two-block radius. Intrigued, we decided to give it a try.Our food arrived promptly, and the flavors were delightful. I particularly enjoyed the unexpected yet delicious addition of avocado to the spring rolls. Both the pad jian and the house pad thai were bursting with freshness. This is definitely a place we'll be revisiting!”
“Excellent food, friendly upbeat place, excellent service. I had the seafood, it was very fresh and delicious. I will be going back again when I'm in the area.”
“From the moment we entered Veronas we knew we were in for a nice dinner and evening! I took my daughter in law and niece to Veronas based on the delicious dinners I have had at their Copperopolis restaurant by the same name. Looking for an upscale restaurant in Modesto Veronas would prove to be a Great find. Different menu but same quality! Our meal was Hot upon arrival, including delicious appetizers that included bruschetta and jumbo shrimp in a fresh tomato sauce base with some spicy touches.?️ aka Gamberetti di Aglio The owner Heime stepped out of his kitchen and welcomed us to his Modesto restaurant and was genuinely engaging...so unusual for a chef of this level! Our loyalty was secure at his "welcome" to my Modesto restaurant. My choice was the sole with fresh crab as part of the entree...with a delicious reduction sauce and perfectly sautéed vegs! My guests had the Papperdelle with tastes of short ribs and HOME MADE PASTA! Sauces were amazing! culinary talent - extraordinaire! Add A bottle of Pinot Noir and we were very happy.. But the best was yet to come! Dessert: Lemon infused cake with raspberry drizzle AND tiramisu I was proud I selected Veronas to treat my guests to! ?? I cant say enough about the attentive and subtle service! A great staff, great food and great Owner! I have decided Veronas is my place to take my family & friends when I want to extend the best possible setting for a lovely and delicious evening!”
“I’ve been a customer of this place for a while. Ingredients taste fresh the pizza crust is always tasty and perfectly cooked and it’s a mom and pop establishment with great customer service.”
“Chilaquiles to die for I had the plate my wife had the burrito. They are good portions of food per dish. Hella coming back here forsure!!! I had the bander with asada wife had the red with asada. Such an awesome little hole in the wall spot.!!!!!!”
“I’ve been going to this place since I was 16 years old, I’m almost 50 now! I’m picky about my Chinese food and this place never disappoints! The quality and quantity for the price has always been outstanding! I actually have a tattoo that was created by one of the ladies who used to work here years ago! The people are amazing here, I drive an hour and a half to get there now days and it’s worth the drive since there’s nothing to compare it to where I live now!”
“I've been here many times and it's always been enjoyable. I've tried every ramen and I'm working on the rice bowls now. My personal favorites so far are the ichiraku ramen, the bulgogi ramen, and the katsudon. The takoyaki are also always enjoyable but they can be a bit pricey so I've only had them twice. My girlfriend absolutely swears by the pork belly rice bowl and it's what she gets every timeEdit 2/22: still 5 star, everything they serve is awesome and the people working here are all very friendly and helpful. I got the katsu curry this time and it's awesome”
“So we ordered honey walnut prawns, orange chicken with chowmein and egg rolls, sweet n sour pork with chowmein and egg rolls, crab ragoons, wor wonton soup.1. Honey, walnut prawns were good. The sauce was on the thicker side, but the portions for the price were just right for my pocket.2. both the combo plates are HUGE. The egg rolls weren't a favorite for anyone, but it's hard to find really good egg rolls they tasted soggy in the middle, like doughy. The chowmein has excellent flavor, and they use them big fatty noodles. Sweet n sour sauce was ok. I would order it again because the price for a dinner combo is unbeatable, in my opinion.3. Wor wonton soup was good, definitely would order again it was hearty for sure no complains on ratio of meat vs veggies vs wonton. A little on the salter side, but nothing like a splash of apple cider vinegar to balance it out and some garlic chili sauce.4. The last thing is the crab ragoons... it was a bit off putting when you're expecting cream cheese and imitation crab. These ones had crab and cheddar cheese and something else. Unless I was in the mood for that style, I probably wouldn't order it again.My only other complaint is I would have expected it to be hot when I picked it up, there was a little delay in the order being ready so that's why I'm like the food should have been steaming and i only live 5 mins away.Overall, I'd order from there again.”
“VEGAN PIZZAAA & sides!!Friendly service, unique flavors, handmade fresh, thin crunchy crust. first time here, ordered the butter pizza with jalapeños and the garlic knots with the side of ranch and buffalo sauce. ALL VEGAN!! In house mouth watering multi blended cheese (cheeses, gooey). Definitely coming back for the vegan gyro pizza & vegan mongo yogurt drink! 5stars & 1MILLION% recommend & must try!”

“I had the Mongolian beefless with a spicy level of 8/10. It was on the oilier side but tasted great. For dining in, it would be nice to have the food in a plate rather than a to-go box though.The dining area is set up nicely with both indoor and outdoor options.”
24 Hour Restaurants
“I WOULD LIKE THEY IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF THE INGREDIENTS, FOR EXAMPLE THE 3 LECHES CAKES IT TASTE TO SIMPLE, NO FLAVOR, BUT, SUGARY.Parking: Many businesses but small parking lot.Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible.”
“I gave them a four star because I have to say they have lasagna but it's not good at all I have never ate lasagna that was in a bowl and was watery like soup and I still got charged for it I had to change it for a different plate of food but I end up paying for the lasagna that was ”
“They have Rosca de Reyes in January and Pan de Muerto in October/November, both freshly baked… just as an authentic panadería should! The smallest Rosca is $35, though.”
“the service is excellent! the baristas are all so kind, but the barista that made my drink is so special...his voice is so soothing and he was just the cutest!! he even drew a little heart on my lid, i was so happy :) 10/10 would go back to see this man everyday.”
“Came here for a late night meal around 1am and the staff was really nice and fast getting my food out, also my food was delicious and freshly made. I will be back at this establishment!”
“In my experiences with other Carl's Jr restaurants, I loved the quality of the food, the service, the cleanliness of the place, the posters and the speed with which the food was served. I was delighted and wanted to return.”
“Conveniently Open 24 hours with a drive-through and the food is delicious for the quantity and quality of food served at very good prices!Vegetarian options: Bean and cheese chimichangas, chile relleno plate, chile relleno burrito, quezadillas, tacos de papa.”
“Every time me and my family come after having our turn ups, Amy is always here and giving us great service. Food is always good n hot. Amy goes above and beyond to provide great customer care. 5stars in every category.”
“There use to be people in here all the time , I use live on Elm Ave so this is my spot.... Also a good munchie spot n open 24/7.... Check it tho n if it's bad let me know !!!!”
“It's always a good thing to be able to find a decent 24 hour Mexican food place. And luckily this is my go to for both burritos and taquitos, or anything else that I might feel like having!!Great salsa bar as well for all the extra that you might want!”
“I had the best experiece in Denny's today! The food was great and the server Amy, was the absolute best!Her personality ws a "10" and the service was also a "10!Good job, Amy!”
“My order was messed up but when I called manager was understanding and helpful when I arrived my food was ready and Jobeth C was great appreciate the help and Amazon customer ”
“It’s good but they’re very nice on cooking food fresh and adding stuff on your for .(Ex) Remember when they used to have the loaded nuggets well, they don’t anymore however, they do have cheese sauce, bacon and the ranch sauce and I asked them if they could make me some loaded nuggets once and they did and they did not ”
“This is my go to for Jack in the Box. The workers are always professional and fast. There's a lot of homeless around the area so the inside of the restaurant is pretty much closed, no bathroom access,no a.c and you can't get your own fountain drinks, I always go through the drive through.”
“All day music festival. There are lots of different beers on tap. Met rapper Calisnupe and several other artists. Didn't get anything to eat, but the ladies are the bar were very friendly and knew a lot about the beers.”
“You shouldn't compare this with the bay area hotpot or shabu shabu standard. It is the first and only one in Modesto, I give it one extra star because of this.The hot and spicy soup base is lack of flavor and it is not spicy enough.The beef slice is too lean and it tastes very dry, should add some fat to it. Tongs should be provided with the meat to prevent mixing raw meat with cooked food.The sauce bar and service are good. The revolving belt is fun and a good selection of veggies.”

Sushi Garden
“Hands down, really good Japanese sushi, better than any I've tried in the East Bay. We happened upon this place while looking for sushi on the way back home from Yosemite. 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.”
Takeout Restaurants
“This place has the best coffee in Modesto! A major plus is the staff is super nice and fast. I have had quite a few questions because I just started going here and the staff is so patient with me.”
“Glad I was finally brave enough to try this spot. (Not the best area/appearance) The food is absolutely delicious. 2 egg roll orders, papaya salad, chicken chow mein, and sesame chicken rang up to only $32! Definitely recommend for takeout! ???”
“Gyro Sandwhich was the best I ever had. Service was above and beyond what I had paid for. I would recommend this place definitely. Every visit is not wasted. I feel great afterwards and leave with a smile everytime from the greetings I recieve and the food I get to eat.”
“We moved to Modesto last year and have been looking for a place like this. Stumbled upon it while getting donuts at bakers donut (do not recommend). Got the mini pancakes and cotija ice cream along with the fresas con crema…. DELICIOUS. Staff is super friendly and a commons and the place is clean!!! Highly ”
“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. My brother ordered the chili Verde breakfast skillet, and he said it was scrumptious. The serve was impeccable, fast n friendly. The food came out quick n piping hot!!”
“Vegan review:The owner (or the seemingly only employee at the counter) was very friendly and kind. They do have vegan cheese, and it is not an upcharge or anything, but were out of vegan mozzarella and only had vegan cheddar the day I ordered. The owner was kind enough to check with me at pick-up if I wanted vegan cheddar cheese on my pizza, and added a bunch in a ziploc bag for me to top the pizza at home. The current vegan cheese being offered is Vevan brand, which a lot better and less goopy (and off-putting to some) than Daiya.As for ordering online, there is no explicit vegan option for cheese which I'd normally be a bit worried about. There was no upcharge for vegan cheese either since it wasn't an option. I simply requested vegan cheese in the dietary restrictions / allergies section.Overall probably the cheapest vegan pizza option in town with a crust I really like. The only thing I could ask for is some vegan protein options but since it's take-and-bake I can just add my own Impossible sausage (and I did, along with some vegan mozzarella!)Vegetarian options: I chose vegetable toppings and then requested vegan cheese in dietary restrictions per pizza.”
“Their service is amazing!!! I rarely leave any kind of restaurant saying that but the young man in the front was so accommodating and kind. I got their green glow bowl, it was delicious. It was even better when I added Sriracha. 10/10 will be back soon.”
“I had a long day at work and I thought I would reward myself with yogurt mill but the lines were so long in the drive thru so I went inside instead and it was a good customer service experience. There was no wait at all and the nice lady helping me out, I believe her name was Brianna on her name tag was so sweet!! She recommended me her favorite flavors and even let me sample. Kuddos to Brianna since she was a fine example of how they should treat us customers and im super grateful for her even though I wasnt able to tip her.”
“Took me long enough to review this place, I'd been here once before today, and I'm so glad I came here and reminded myself how good it is. The food was very quick to come to us, and absolutely delicious. The building was clean, and the staff was very efficient. Will be coming back.”

“This place is so welcoming the staff are so polite and helpful always a on it offering more coffee ☕️ and what else we need thanks to the waitress Kathy and of course all the staff too.☺️”
“For those friends who want to give themselves a treat, it is an excellent place to stop by for a cold drink, a tea, or something similar, super excellent service.”
“UNDERRATED. It’s rare to find a coffee shop now that is focused more on the craft and less on moving Fast. It hurts me to drive so far away from downtown Modesto, but it’s worth the trip bc I know I’m getting 100% Quality espressos or lattes. Not an overcrowded hipster shop but a small nook in a vitamin shop. Bought some beans for my home espresso machine and I’m looking forward to pulling a shot.”

Will definitely stop by again when we go out that way. The only thing, I'm surprised the prices were so steep for Modesto.”
“Food was good far greater then expected. But the chicken fried steak and gravy was so amazing! Also ate the fish and chips and those were super good, just forgot to take a pic. Quick service as well. Bacon cheese burger was juicy as well. Didn't take a pic of that either. I'd definitely go back just to grab a pie though. It was all so good.”
“This place has the best Thai food, and also with their iced Thai coffee, but the best part is their servers made me feel like I'm at home. Their servers talk to you like you are family, and I saw they even remember their regulars. I'm definitely coming back again!”

“Food is great, plus chye cats to feed which is a plus but the stray homeless often gets a bit oppressive at times when security does t get to them on time which is half the flaw the other just weather protection like from rain and cold but otherwise it's great.”

“My favorite Mexican food in CA. Fish taco is delicious. Pollo con queso is my next favorite one if i want less calories for my DM. Waiters and waitresses are always friendly and very attentive.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“This was the first burger I have had at In-N-Out for a long time. I got to the drive thru early and there was still a line that took 20 minutes. The burger ? was good but I think Secenic Drive-in is a lot better ?.”
“Nice place for a quick sit-down meal. The manager and the service are great! The food is good, your typical diner food, and the prices are some of the best around. The place is kept clean, which is very important to me. Be sure to ring the bell on your way out. ?”
“I went here yesterday with my boyfriend. My boyfriend and I ordered 2 cheese on a stick and we got American cheese. I love hot dog on a stick because of their cheese on a stick. There is no hot dog on a stick near me so I am glad I got to go to this one. It was my boyfriend's first time having hot dog on a stick and he said his cheese on a stick was amazing. This was the cleanest and biggest hot dog on a stick I've ever been to.”
“I would give this particular location 5 stars but they don't serve rootbeer floats ??I didn't know they only served floats at specific locations, kinda bummy but whatever I guess ”
“I ordered the double smoked bacon sandwich and it was hot and plain but great.I also got a mocha cookie frap.Both I recommend and also there's no outlet for charging.”
“What a feeling of nostalgia! As a kid, I remember stopping by Orange Julius during a visit to the local mall for their delicious frothy drink. I was telling my youngest daughter about it just last week, then lo and behold....we run in to an Orange Julius at the mall! She had never tried it before so I was excited to have her try it for the first time. She didn't understand all of the hype until she took her first, long sip of pure joy. Her face lit up light Christmas morning. What an experience! The original flavor is just like I remember. The price, however, has gone up significantly. $7 for a medium size drink, but it was totally worth it.”
“Yogurt Mill definitely exceeded our expectations, during our visit we had a great experience. The flavors and toppings were perfect, and the staff were very friendly. Plenty of room to eat, and very clean. Thank you for the wonderful experience, we will definitely be returning guests.”
“Been going here since the 90s. Love the maple Vancouver and the atmosphere vibes are always on point. Studying or drinking coffee here is just better in an older building with 120yrs of history:)”
“Great customer service & nice employees my husband went with a recommendation and got the pineapple dole, whip smoothie with strawberry and banana. It was delicious. I got a small guava shaved ice with sweet cream.Kid-friendliness: Small kid corner table with toys”
“The best hamburgers this restaurant is very clean an great service, got my order very fast, fresh food.Kid-friendliness: Yes i have kid chairs.Parking: N/AWheelchair accessibility: Yes their is tables available to put the kid chairs at.”
“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.”
“Everytime i come here it's been good for the most part . Super burrito could use more flavor , as well as the rolled tacos but they aren't something to pass up ! the carne asada fries are sooo good never disappoints. Drive thru always has a line but it's worth the wait , the food is fresh and hot .”
“The girl name Morgan that was working the drive thru is very nice and I had placed a order on grub hub and it was perfect! Thank you!! I appreciate it very much!”
“What an awesome place! I came across this place when I used to tan and they used to sell this in the tanning salon. The tanning place closed down and they also got a new owner and quit selling this and I went online to find them again. I am so glad I did. The food is amazing, filling, and it is made with natural nutrition and low calories to help me meal prep and watch my weight . It’s nice when they have 20% off it does get expensive however, totally worth it. This place has been the best that I have ever tried. I am so blessed that they are now in Merced. Thank you so much I will definitely be back ordering again soon.”
“I take my daughter here all the time after school for a soft serve and fries and we always think it’s so cute how they tell us we rule and the gal there Sonya is sooo sweet. You can tell she tries to make every experience good for customers. You should give her a raise.”

“We went on Valentine’s Day. They had the staff but seemed overwhelmed with the crowd. They lost our reservation I booked online and called to verify my reservation the day before. They verified I had a reservation. I ended talking to the maitre’d and he said no reservations no problem seat you in back. I had a bad feeling. I told them that I verified my reservations but they said they couldn’t find it multiple times. Next time I’ll just call in ask who I talked to etc. anyways no appetizer they changed menu to a valentines menu with no bruschetta at all Italian restaurant shocker. We ordered it took over 45 mins to get food. I asked the waitress why she said we’re packed full in front. I have a feeling the front where I had a reservation was tended to first. The back was secondary. The food came the food was fantastic but no reason to be in a restaurant over 1 hour and a half . I understand it’s Valentine’s Day. They overbooked. After I paid I spoke to the maitre’d he apologized for the service and asked about the food I told him the food was great but I vented about the service. I worked for an upscale restaurant in the central coast and my brother a chef in an upscale restaurant in the Midwest. My concern don’t over book on a holiday. The food here is great one of the best in Modesto but service is spotty. My concern you gotta get the service back up to speed. I gotta thank Dave and the chef Jose for some great food! Thank you”
“I had a rock n roll sushi roll it was sooo delicious! If you like seafood that's the one it was very flavourful. My son had teriyaki chicken and steamed rice (a bit pricy) but it was okay. The place was very busy (Saturday) we waited over 45 minutes for a table it is a very small restaurant they need a second one for sure.”

“I’ve never been a fan of protein shakes, but I was pleasantly surprised and happy with this. For those with lactose intolerance, all shakes are made with water so no worries there. Even though it’s made with water it’s very creamy and rich. Definitely check it out if you can’t find the right spot for your protein shakes.”
“Today was my first day in here. I went with some friends who recommended it and sadly forgot to take some photos. While the outside doesn't look like much, the inside is very welcoming. I ended up getting a Pancho villa panini and it was so delicious. Through looking at the photos on the walls and from one of the nice ladies working up front I learned that this place has been open here for a long time and is what I would consider a historic spot in our town. I will definitely be coming back(and getting pictures).”
“Came and got a coffee ☕ because apparently downtown Modesto doesn't really have much going on at 9am on a Sunday morning ? but if it didn't, we wouldn't have found this cool little spot. Has a nice upper deck to hang out and do whatever on (including sleep) I assume the owner or manager are Star Wars fans. Live long and prosper ?”
“After seeing an online video review, I just had to try this place. AMAZING! Everything we ordered was top notch. We will definitely be going here and ordering again. Highly recommend!!”
“You simply can not find a better Pretzel in the entire state of California than what you can get at Twisties Pretzels. I personally recommend the Jalapeno but you can't go wrong with any of them, they also have amazing and friendly staff! Don't forget the Fresh Lemonade!!”
“I go for the car wash here. They Wash your car by hand and they do a good job. They also apply wax and other services. I have been coming here for a very long time. I took food to go once. Spring rolls were really really good.”
“Lily and Angel are truly the best! Absolutely wonderful family and business owners. Their protein waffles and protein shakes are so good, I'm always daydreaming about them. I'm hooked on The Rock and The Boss. 1,000,000/10 recommend! ??”
“I haven’t reviewed many places recently, but my child apparently loved the service, and how the server divided the noodles from the soup. It really made her night when she saw it?. Tho food was great in my perspective, and personal experience. Also they cater to diet restrictions like mine. I do not eat pork. They also added chicken to my spring rolls since originally it’s made with pork. We are from Stockton, and will definitely be coming back to this location.Dietary restrictions: We don’t eat pork, and they changed the pork to chickenKid-friendliness: My child made me write this review… so yeah self explanatory”
“I'm not sure I want people to know about this awesome jem of ours!!Great food and prices. Love the coffee. The waitress there is just amazing. The cooks know what they are doing. Everyone is friendly. Sunday morning breakfast with the family starts the day off on the right foot. I'm glad we found this little hole in the wall!”
“Awesome trading platform, incredible withdrawal I have been using this platform together with the most recommended forex strategy on the internet from Mrs. Catherine Morgan FX. and so far I have no complains making $7000-$15000 on a weekly basis, she is great and I am thankful I was lucky enough to have met her. Contact via her Email: Email: [email protected] Facebook page”
“Grew up going here and have since moved out of state but come here every time I visit. The folks working here are very friendly, the food is amazing, and I highly recommend the banana+chocolate+peanut butter shake. Knockout burger is also a hit. 10/10 would recommend for the best burger around.”
“Been going with my girlfriend every time when we're in town. We absolutely love their teas and smoothies. Sam and Kim are so friendly and give great suggestions on their drinks. We always love to support them and their son, who they made the shop for. Definitely give this place a try!”
“So I got a polar pizza here with cookie dough and it was BOMB! I was helped by a girl think her name was Issa and she was very friendly. The place was clean and things seemed very organized. I can't think of any place that sells polar pizzas. I will definitely be back again”
“It was nice that there were no long lines and the gentleman behind the counter was helpful and polite. Right next to Raley's the boba drink and Coconut smoothie were excellent and I had the strawberry banana frozen yogurt was delicious. Two thumbs up .”
“For modesto no offense but jeez you all need to take the note from this starbucks from the great staff to the perfectly blended drinks and perfect ratio of creme in my frappes I just love this Starbucks I will literally travel hours to go here instead of any bay area starbucks service is a 10 drinks are a 10 and really qhat else do you need to know get the match green tea frappe with heavy creme you won't be disappointed trust me peeps”
“What an adorable little shop with a great variety of almonds, jams, sauces, wine, and more deliciousness! We stayed across the street at an RV park for the week and thought it looked interesting. So glad we went in.”
“We took a motorcycle ride here with our Harley group and it was very nice. We reserved the back area ahead of time and this worked out great. Plenty of space to park all 27 motorcycles and some cars. Service was great, food was great. Recommended.”

“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.”
“Ordered doordash from Frida’s. Wow I haven’t had such good street tacos in a long time. The carnitas is phenomenal so much flavor and goodness. The pickled onions on the side were sooo good and made the tacos even better along with the small slice of jalapeño. This will be my forever local taco spot. They did not disappoint!!”
“An American diner with great food, great ice cream and a warm and family-friendly atmosphere— what’s not to love??? Got two of their house favorites, the Velvet Chicken Sandwich on Sourdough (which is their extra-lip smacking version of BLT replete with tender sliced grilled chicken and avocado), and their California burger, plus their hearty sweet potato fries with savory chipotle dip and a thick and generous Chocolate-Strawberry shake to top it all off! Staff was accommodating and courteous and all the tables were clean and tidy, which is harder to find these days than it should be! Will absolutely stop in again my next time through. Thanks!”
“Good spot for a bite to eat. Casual and fun atmosphere. The salads are my favorite and the house salad has all kinds of goodies in it. The pizza is also a great choice. And if you like cocktails they have a great menu for you!”
“The atmosphere is HELLA LOCAL. The food has a light cajun flavor and they have a great beer selection. The kitchen closes by 9pm. The service is fast and efficient.Tip your tender!Kid-friendliness: The bar tender was nice & the owner is always great.”
“Food was delicious!! The wait staff was very friendly, they were there when you needed them but I never felt rushed or interrupted while enjoying time with my family. The atmosphere is laid back, with hometown vibe. The brownie with ice cream on top was phenomenal and fresh.Wheelchair accessibility: The parking lot had a small slope to it that made me a little nervous for my mom, but she said it was fine.”
“Hubby and I recently went for our anniversary. The food was good, and our server was attentive. They even had the staff sign a card for us to celebrate our anniversary, which I thought was super sweet and thoughtful. The only negative for me was that I thought the lighting was a little too dim, but that is most likely my poor eye sight. Lol. Would definitely recommend.”
“Clean and all the games are always in working condition. The food is okay. The service is good but you always have to wait around for someone to come out of the back to help you.Kid-friendliness: Your kids will have a blast. Hours of fun.”

“Best deli in Modesto. Ikes was a San Francisco institution in 2008, then word got out and they quickly expanded all over NoCal. Delicious bread, fresh toppings and unrivaled vegan/vegetarian options. Service with a smile; good people work here. Love this place!”

“I called my order a double bacon cheeseburger with fries in, and when I arrived, my food was fresh and hot. I love the fact that they use beef for bacon. I had dropped some money on the floor and the employee called me to say I dropped money. I told him to keep as a tip because of their integrity and great food. If, in town, try the food you won't be disappointed.”
“Very cool vibe plus the apps and drinks were tasty. We had a complicated drink order /bill split but the waitress was still pleasant and happy to help. Coming here again for sure.”
“Great food and nice servers. Restaurant clean and has a modern look. Only issue is that it's so dark in there. On a nice day out, there should be more light in this place. Don't mistake me though because I would definitely come back to this place. Might be a better place to go at night and a perfect first date ”
“We had lunch here Tuesday. The service was prompt, but she didn't hear my husband correctly. He ordered the Southwest Chicken Salad and she brought a chicken salad sandwich. I didn't even see that on the menu. I had the ham, brie and fig panini. He decided not to say anything. Both sandwiches were good. 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. I've also been here for a couple other events since the original lunchroom and definitely give the 5 stars for events.”
“Dora made me a great margarita! Then surprised me with a peach margarita on my 2nd round and it was amazing!! Service was great! She had a smile that helped me have a better day! I had to get a tire fixed and enjoyed the much needed drink food and atmosphere!”
“My wife forgot her bag, when we returned the waitress returned it to her. Complete with phone, keys, and money. Very good place to go to have fun. Thanks for everything!!!!!”
“Walking by, we spotted this restaurant bustling with activity, standing out amongst the other options within a two-block radius. Intrigued, we decided to give it a try.Our food arrived promptly, and the flavors were delightful. I particularly enjoyed the unexpected yet delicious addition of avocado to the spring rolls. Both the pad jian and the house pad thai were bursting with freshness. This is definitely a place we'll be revisiting!”
“Amazing food, wonderful service! The only thing that could be improved is the building itsself, which seems a bit old and in need of renovations, but thats fine!”
“Food is Amazing! I was looking for something different t in Modesto, so I searched yelp, this place had good reviews. I had never heard of it, but glad I tried it. I'll be back.”
“Large beer selection, games, pinball, darts, shuffleboard, and other activities to keep people of all ages, tastes, and interests entertained and satisfied. Also often has food available and special activities planned throughout the week. Close to MJC and downtown. Definitely a good place to check out if you are in the area.”
“To go. Or aka take away. The thin crust was fabulous. Crunchy and tasty crust. We had the pineapple ?, along with a meat version. Not the norm, but good quality pizza. Introduced to me during the sad Super Bowl.As always, post whatever you like and try. Maybe next time the Ninets will fare better.”
“I'm not a big sushi eater.but I have to say after try it ,I found it delicious. I will definitely be back .you should get there before 6pm after that it gets pretty packed. Service was spot on .price I'm told is very reasonable for sushi .”
“Excellent food, friendly upbeat place, excellent service. I had the seafood, it was very fresh and delicious. I will be going back again when I'm in the area.”
“We had the best experience. The food was amazing! 10/10 I highly recommend. Passed by Modesto several times, I wished I knew this restaurant was here all this time. Sorry, there are no pictures to share. Sometimes you just have to enjoy the moment.”

“From the moment we entered Veronas we knew we were in for a nice dinner and evening! I took my daughter in law and niece to Veronas based on the delicious dinners I have had at their Copperopolis restaurant by the same name. Looking for an upscale restaurant in Modesto Veronas would prove to be a Great find. Different menu but same quality! Our meal was Hot upon arrival, including delicious appetizers that included bruschetta and jumbo shrimp in a fresh tomato sauce base with some spicy touches.?️ aka Gamberetti di Aglio The owner Heime stepped out of his kitchen and welcomed us to his Modesto restaurant and was genuinely engaging...so unusual for a chef of this level! Our loyalty was secure at his "welcome" to my Modesto restaurant. My choice was the sole with fresh crab as part of the entree...with a delicious reduction sauce and perfectly sautéed vegs! My guests had the Papperdelle with tastes of short ribs and HOME MADE PASTA! Sauces were amazing! culinary talent - extraordinaire! Add A bottle of Pinot Noir and we were very happy.. But the best was yet to come! Dessert: Lemon infused cake with raspberry drizzle AND tiramisu I was proud I selected Veronas to treat my guests to! ?? I cant say enough about the attentive and subtle service! A great staff, great food and great Owner! I have decided Veronas is my place to take my family & friends when I want to extend the best possible setting for a lovely and delicious evening!”
“We love going to this restaurant for happy hour drinks and appetizers or to dinner with our kids. The food is delicious and the prices are super reasonable. The staff is so friendly and we love our bartender Franny who always takes the best care of us, knows our drinks and makes them perfect every time! We haven't tried a bad thing on the menu yet, the frozen margaritas are on point, and if you haven't had one of the staff come to your table to make the guac in front of you and to order with a side of flour tortilla chips, you're missin out!!”
“I was happy to come to this restaurant since the San Francisco location closed. The Fuscili Fire Cracker noodles are my favorite and it brought back fond memories that I had when I went into the office. The staff was nice and the place was packed for a Friday night. There is validation if you parked in the parking structure behind the restaurant.”
“Have had food here a few times. The food was good it was hot and fresh. Our last sererwas awesome she took care of our requests. Oh and the tables were very clean.”

“This is the most fantastic restaurant I have been at I 72 years on this earth! The service, the food so exceptionally good! We had the privilege of meeting the general manager who gave us a tour of the place, and it took an hour because everybody in there wanted to talk to him that’s how well like he is! If you’re Modesto and you need a good dinner, this is the place!”
“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!”
“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.”

“This location in motown is super bomb the employees are very friendly the cooks also get down in the back with our orders the place is super clean and always a great atmosphere.”
“Went in due to the reviews and had to try out this local spot.Immediately greeted, and within a few minutes, we had menus, drinks ordered, and assurance that this would be a good spot.Lunch was served, no issues. Service was great except eventually she got us our waters (but we had our beers, so no worries ).All in all, we were surprised ? with the service, and the food was delicious.Kid-friendliness: Waitress was very interactive and spoke with the kids next to us. I loved how she treated them and gave them options for their meal.”
“Hands down the best fried shrimp I’ve ever had!!! Hot, crispy, SO tasty! Came with shoestring-ish fries in a basket - way too much for me to eat. Fair pricing & sodas served in to/go cups so you can top off on the way out.Inside might not be much to look at but the flavor in their batter is top tier.”
“First Time trying this place. Ordered a medium All meat pizza on original crust and the Garlic Cheese Balls ? Everything was Hot fresh and delicious. Just wish I got extra marinara sauce for my balls sauce and the Ranch are very good too. This is definitely my new spot for delicious pizza pie ??”
“Vegetarian options: LOVE this place! so many great veg/ fruit & many sauce/ dressing choices to change up for whatever you're feeling likeplenty of good things for Veg/Vegans to gnosh on”
“We thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The owner talked to us and explained the menu and food and where it all comes from. Our waiter was very attentive and the food was amazing. We all sampled each others plates...everything was delicious.”

“My favorite ithem from the menu is the spicy girl roll, my husband loves the chicken Kat-su… very good ambience and always great service and so very respectful staff. ”
“Stop complaining about small portions, the prices reflect the portions. Don’t expect a load of food for a cheap price. This place tastes very good the fried shrimp was excellent and the pork noodle soup was very tasty as well! A very good and rare meal for this truck driver! :)”
“great mariscos great food and over all great customer service i highly recommend this place. se los recomiendo muy buena comida los mariscos las tostadas todo! y aprte muy buen servicio al cliente”
“Ordered the rib eye medium-rare, came way overcooked but was replaced and made right. Very thin cut but good flavor, baked potato and veggies also tasty. My husband enjoyed the rack of lamb. Friendly staff.”
“Always a fresh, fast, clean and delicious meal here at Lonchera Mariscos Colima. When you walk up to the outside dinning area you will notice it is always clean and somewhere to sit and enjoy your meal. You will get prompt, friendly service in English and Spanish. If you don’t speak Spanish well, this is your chance to practice your Spanish while learning and loving the culture. The gentleman at the counter is always ready to answer questions with a welcoming smile. Please enjoy your food and time here. There is plenty of parking. Outdoor dinning only. Bring the family and enjoy your time and meal.Wheelchair accessibility: Wide openings for the outside dinning that you can safely get a wheelchair through as well as the dinning table are wheelchair accessible”
“Since my last review, there have been improvements in the offerings. I have to say now, for excellent service and great dining, this place is hard to beat. Virtually anything ordered is always fresh and delicious. Recommended to all!”
“If you like good meal that seems home cooked, this is the place for you. Reasonable prices and fast service that can’t be beat. It’s always a stop whenever I have business at Save Mart Corporate.”
“I have a blast every time I go there. The energy is positive. Never seen a fight there. Also great music to dance to. I love this bar. The people working are kind. Highly recommend this place for dancing and to have a great time.”
“Wonderful place for date night or anytime. Food was great, service was fast and everyone is super friendly there. Didn't go into the bar area but I did have the strawberry margarita & it was great (sorry no pic). I have had chicken marsala at plenty of places and this is the best so far! Portions are large and pricing is good. 4 stars for atmosphere because it's a bit dark & could use some upgrades (I know it's an older building though). Will be going back ?”
“I've been here many times and it's always been enjoyable. I've tried every ramen and I'm working on the rice bowls now. My personal favorites so far are the ichiraku ramen, the bulgogi ramen, and the katsudon. The takoyaki are also always enjoyable but they can be a bit pricey so I've only had them twice. My girlfriend absolutely swears by the pork belly rice bowl and it's what she gets every timeEdit 2/22: still 5 star, everything they serve is awesome and the people working here are all very friendly and helpful. I got the katsu curry this time and it's awesome”
“If you want to take a trip back to 25 years ago then Bam here you go. I first visited this Me n Ed's pizzeria in 2004. The decor has not changed one bit. It's extremely traditional Me n Ed's franchise. The inside has a distinct scent inside. Best I can describe it is an Asian mini mart. The pizza is awesome though. I ordered for takeout so there wasn't really a dine-in experience. The man making the pizza was extremely nice and friendly. The pizza was made perfectly. I also love the calzone here. There is a large one topping deal for 12.99. I'm not sure how a 2 topping is 19.99 though. However it was still awesome pizza.”
“Love the lunch menu from 10am to 3pm. Great deals and selection! Really enjoyed the chilaquiles, not too spicy with great flavor and not soggy. Comes with rice and beans. The salsa is very tasty! Large dining area with a nice bar. The service is quick, friendly, and attentive. Food is very authentic. It's a little hard to find, off of a busy main road. Large parking lot. Plan to be back and would recommend!”

THIS IS A NICE COZY PLACE WITH A GOOD ATMOSPHERE AND FRIENDLY PEOPLE TO GREET YOU, I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO GOING BACK SOON #JESUSANDME2023 ???????????????.”
“This some pretty good Mexican grub here!! That smoker outside is working overtime and the flavor is hardcore good! Beware when you come here because your clothes WILL smell of smoke even if you don't wait in line for a long time. The tacos de lengua, tri-tip and carnitas were just so good here!!!”
“Yummy place worth going again. Ordered to go plate for my family of 3. Family and I enjoyed the food. We ordered chicken Katsu and beef teriyaki, it was delicious. Can’t wait to try other things on the menu.”
“This Chicken Parmigiana from this restaurant tastes good. The chicken is deep fried and tasty enough that it can satisfy my stomach and my taste buds. The amount of mozzarella cheese is exactly what I needed so that the entire thing doesn’t taste too cheesy. Otherwise it tasted good. The price for this is $15.99. And this is what a $15.99 chicken parmigiana. I would recommend this pasta for those who like pasta or chicken.”

She attended to all our needs. The other staff were also friendly. We would highly recmmend this cafe!!”

“Was at the restaurant last night after not visiting for a few months. Was pleasantly served by Anthony. He made great recommendations to my parents and I (he can definitely up-sell) and provided above and beyond experience that made our time at Outback Steakhouse that much more personable and enjoyable. Thank you Anthony and staff at Outback!”
“I have stayed at the Doubletree Hilton a couple of times and have eaten here each time. The first time, I just had their Butternut squash soup. It had a coconut base and was amazing. I'm usually not the biggest fan of butternut squash soup, but theirs had so much flavor. My friend got the short ribs and said they were amazing. The second time I got their falafel wrap and fries, the fries were really good. The wrap was food but not the best, I am grateful for veggie options, though. My friend got the chicken, with polenta and carrots, and the chicken looked extremely juicy. They said it was delicious. Our server was kind, informative and helpful. I also had a blueberry lemonade mocktail it was good.”

Bobalicious
“Best boba ever! I went with my partner and got a peach tea with rainbow jelly and an avocado smoothie with oreo. Our drinks were so good we finished them before getting pictures. The gentleman who helped us was so kind and helped us with adjustments to our drinks. Avocado smoothie is a must try it’s so creamy. I’ve also had the strawberry teaser and it’s so good too. No bad drinks here!! I would also try their covered apples they have a couple different kinds and macarons. Can’t wait to go again, thank you!!Vegetarian options: The only thing non vegetarian would be the sandwiches. Otherwise all drinks and snacks are vegetarian but i’m not sure if they’re vegan friendly.”
“Great locals bar with excellent food and drinks. This is in an industrial area of Modesto. Come on in and enjoy the great atmosphere. Service is fast and friendly. When in this area see you here.”
“We had just got in from out of state (TIRED) They had our food to us in under 10 min! They were awesome! Food was AMAZING! We had deep fried tempura rolls DELICIOUS!! Staff was amazing had us in and out as we requested!”

My brother ordered the chili Verde breakfast skillet, and he said it was scrumptious. The serve was impeccable, fast n friendly. The food came out quick n piping hot!!”
“Wonderful place for date night or anytime. Food was great, service was fast and everyone is super friendly there. Didn't go into the bar area but I did have the strawberry margarita & it was great (sorry no pic). I have had chicken marsala at plenty of places and this is the best so far! Portions are large and pricing is good. 4 stars for atmosphere because it's a bit dark & could use some upgrades (I know it's an older building though). Will be going back ?”
“Jesus, excellent service, very attentive and kind. I love his attention and everything. On time and often, I was seeing if something was missing. I am very happy with his attention.”
“Hubby and I recently went for our anniversary. The food was good, and our server was attentive. They even had the staff sign a card for us to celebrate our anniversary, which I thought was super sweet and thoughtful. The only negative for me was that I thought the lighting was a little too dim, but that is most likely my poor eye sight. Lol. Would definitely recommend.”
“They have the best doughnuts and the cream filling is excellent! The chicken teriyaki bowls are amazing and the staff is very friendly. Don't let the side of town or outside of the building stop you from trying Scotty's doughnuts, so good!”
“Chow mein and rice were flavorful, don’t need soy sauce for them. Garlic chicken and orange chicken were so good. They serve you huge portions. Strawberry's mango smoothie bomb and the popping boba was delicious. This will be my new goto place from now one. The young man helping me was very polite. Very nice place.”

I got helped by someone named Jenna and I just have to say she was the sweetest person I’ve ever met. She made me feel welcomed and made sure my time there was great. I have health problems and she took her time to explain what flavors were sugar free and didn’t make it seem like I was a burden. The place was clean and inviting and I highly appreciate everything she did for me. She deserves employee of the year!”

Kuddos to Brianna since she was a fine example of how they should treat us customers and im super grateful for her even though I wasnt able to tip her.”

Our waitress was spent more time with a customer at the bar (diner area) . The customer was a bit loud, while drinking. Other than that food was amazing we will be back again soon with our family and friends. Thank you for your hospitality.”

The wine we had was delicious, the bread had texture and flavor, the spread was spicy and interesting, the Caesar salad was fresh and well dressed, the chicken saltimbocca was beautifully plated and nicely balanced and the spumoni Bomba was the bomb. Our server was attentive while giving us privacy. For what we got the prices were fair and the spend per person was below was only because of the wine and dessert. A lovely place for a lovely meal for a lovely date.”
