“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!”
“The best service in all of Culichi and surroundings, thank you Ricardo for your. Good service and hospitality, the food is very clean and full of very good vibes 10 ??????????”
“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!!!”
“Great place to eat meat? Easy parking. Great basmati rice, loved the eggplant. Everything was cooked just perfect. And I especially liked the server who was so polite and friendly. With absolutely no expectations we had such a nice time. We will definitely be coming back to this place.”

“My familiy and I live in Stockton but my grandpa won't eat in any other location anymore besides modesto mainly because of management he enjoys talking to Austin he is always so helpful and nice! Love the salad bar my food always comes out amazing!”
“So I don’t ever do reviews for anything but I was just so impressed that I am compelled do to so. 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.”

“I had an exceptional dining experience at Mayar Restaurant in Northern California and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for delicious Afghani cuisine. The services provided by Mr. Sadeq, and other team members at Mayar Restaurant, were outstanding, making our visit truly memorable.The highlight of our meal was the Qabeli Palaw, a flavorful and aromatic dish that left us craving for more. The Kabob was also a delight, perfectly cooked and seasoned to perfection.Overall, Mayar Restaurant exceeded my expectations with its excellent food quality, cozy ambiance, and top-notch service. I look forward to visiting again soon!”
“Love the cookies my favorite is the white macadamia nut can’t wait for them to have it againKid-friendliness: My kids love you go in there and watch the cookies be made”

“As a salvadoreña who recently moved to the states & have tried different “intents of pupusas” let me tell you this place is like going to a real Salvadoran pupuseria. They use the right ingredients cheese, beans & loroco. this food is made with loveI love this place it feels like home. ?I love the vibe and the plants too”
“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.”
“Make sure to get some baklava with your order -- it's excellent! The burgers are large and delicious, the standard fry order is large enough to split, and the fish & chips are pleasant. If you phone in an order and live within a couple miles, you can head right over and it'll usually be ready when you get there. This is a better restaurant for takeout than dine-in, as eating space is small and basic -- though there are outside tables as well. Staff are always very nice and orders are accurate.”
“Googled “vegan food near me” on our way home from Turlock to Stockton and so glad we found this place! GREAT food & service! We ordered the Cashew “Chicken”, Orange “Chicken”, “Chicken” strips & Impossible burger and everyone cleared their plates! We also had the Vietnamese coffee, Thai tea and Lemon Cheesecake, all super yummy! Wish they had a restaurant like this in Stockton! We’ll be back! ?”

He's often seen serving tables or even in the kitchen, and his attention to detail is impeccable.The ever-changing menu, featuring fresh, locally-sourced ingredients, is seriously impressive. The food is consistently amazing and delicious. If you're in Modesto and haven't experienced this restaurant yet, it's a must-visit for a unique dining experience that keeps you coming back for more.”

“I visited Lucille for the first time and was blown away by how cute the interior/exterior and how delicious the food and drinks were. I had a savory toast and latte and it was delicious!! The environment is cool (reminiscent of quirky bay area spots) and the staff is welcoming. I will definitely return soon!”
“Food was delicious! Consume was so ? good, they made my food to order without cheese and labeled it very clearly.

They made my plate with love and labeled it very clearly from every other plate. So happy and can't wait to return again”

“Chinn’s is a fantastic meal. I love the fusion between traditional Chinese and Mexican food they offer. Even though Devry isn’t as nice when he’s working here ( he’s always nice at Churchkey), his beer knowledge helps a ton. You’ll never go wrong coming to Chinn’s.”
“Small beer selection. People serving, sometimes don't hear/see you from across the bar. The bathroom is at the back of the building, along a pathway.I'll have to come again during a trivia night.Kid-friendliness: Games galore for people of all ages”
“Absolutely loved these tacos! The ladies were friendly and even with our group of 20 they were fast. You can't beat the $1 price per taco. Will be back again next time we are through.”

“LOVE going to InNOut. Cheeseburger animal style with whole grilled onion and peppers for 4.19!? Heeelll yeah! Best priced, best customer service, best everything. Love my burgers!!!! You guys are awesome!!!”
“We were in town for a girls soccer tournament. Texas Roadhouse food is consistently good, no matter where we go to eat a steak! 6oz sirloin with salad and a sweet potato!”
“Ambiance: Love this little hole in the wall. It isn't the most spacious restaurant, but the atmosphere is cozy. I love how the lighting is slightly dim. Food: For appetizers I get the spicy edamame if it's just me. If I'm out with company, I'll order spicy edamame and either combo tempura or the takoyaki. Entrees: I love getting either the tonkatsu ramen or pork Katsu curry, along with two sushi rolls. I typically order the King Kong roll or the rainbow roll. But honestly, I have never ordered something and not liked it. Pricing: In my opinion; slightly higher prices for the valley, but still affordable for sushi, seafood, etc. But if it goes up any higher then (in my opinion) it would not be worth it. And I say this, as I've had higher quality fish for around the same price. Service is nice. Although, at times it can be a little chaotic. There was one instance in which the waiter somehow messed up our reservation. Which led to us being seated about an hour from closing, and so the staff was rushing us. Overall I nice little gem. One of my favorite sushi spots in Modesto.”
“The drinks are on the pricier side but it's the type of establishment where it's so worth it. The food is fine for finger food and to have with your drink, the staff is sweet and attentive they really go above and beyond. The vibe is definitely classy, and relaxing. Live music nights are for a cute date idea.”

“Went here for my birthday lunch a couple months ago and had Bruschetta, crab cakes, and chicken parm with fettuccine alfredo. This is my favorite Italian restaurant in the 209. Their food is always hot, fresh, and super flavorful! I can't come here without getting the Bruschetta and chicken parm. They also have a very tentative and freidnly staff. Truly a hidden gem of Modesto. 10/10!”
“We typically enjoy "The Twin". We really wish they'd increase their tap options and that they'd do something w those bathrooms. We've been going their since it was Chick & Judy's MINT CLUB. New owners have done a great job with the backyard. Nice to let kids run around a little bit.”

“We love coming here! We came in today and had Christian as our waiter. He did an awesome job, and he very polite and respectful. We started off with the espresso martini and a Long Island iced tea, 10/10. For appetizers we got the flaming cheese with pita (so good) 10/10. We also tried the crab cakes today. They were not my favorite, had a bit of a fishy taste. Next we had a Greek salad 10/10 and the lemon chicken soup 10/10 (my favorite). We then got the fresh fish brochette w/ veggies and rice pilaf. 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.”
“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??”
“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!”
“I recently visited a Thai restaurant downtown and had an incredible experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. The food was truly spectacular; we ordered the coconut milk soup with veggies, green curry eggplant, Gen Tso Tofu, and fresh spring rolls. Everything was served promptly and prepared to perfection. Although we encountered a slight issue with one of our dishes, the staff were very considerate and addressed our request promptly. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience, and we will definitely be returning in the future.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Finally tried this place. Hard to want to try a place that people review bomb negatively for no reason. Wife and I shared an order of fajitas. I had a Modelo Chelada. Everything was great including the service. There could have been more meat than veggies though. Otherwise, it was a pretty good experience. We also had the fried ice cream! Delicious!! I'd give it 4 stars but giving it 5 because people are ridiculously critical.”
“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”
“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.!!!!!!”

“Loved the beer! Would return for beer and cheese board. The peppercorn steak was liked by my husband who rated it a 5, while i gave it a 3.5. The portions are great. Pro tip, the dinner menu starts at 4 so we missed the lunch menu by a few minutes. It's inside a little strip center so not very visible from the street. Seems like not a lot of parking available.lovely mural.”

“I'm so glad my husband and I decided to go inside this cute family own Italian restaurant. Don't let the outside fool you, inside is really cute and well decorated with Tuscany lookThe food is so good, my husband had the cioppino, we were quite surprised how big the bowl was and let me tell you, my husband is a big cioppino eater, this has to be by far the best cioppino he had ever had since we moved out here in the valley from the bay area, it's probably better then any bay area Italian restaurant, even I wish I had gotten it, I got the baked rigatoni and I really loved it, portions are huge , we both had to take ours home. We recommend the homemade tiramsu , this has to be the best tiramsu we had ever had, I almost don't want to write this review because I don't want too many people knowing about this secret gem, also because we didn't need any reservations. Service was excellent, very friendly family. Definitely we be coming back”

“I tried this place today and wasn't quite sure what to expect. The butter chicken pizza was so. darn. good. Easily my favorite pizza in Modesto now. The spices and the cilantro and the chicken, all of it worked so well together. I'm looking forward to trying the other pizzas :)”
“So I don’t ever do reviews for anything but I was just so impressed that I am compelled do to so. 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.”
“Best seafood in Modesto! If you live in Manteca and are looking for high-quality seafood, I would highly recommend you come here. Prices are fair, and you get big portions. They also have daily specials. Must go for seafood and Mexican food lovers!”

Spicy green curry bowl with chicken and eggplant is amazing!!!Vegetarian options: They can pretty much take the meat out of anything that doesn't have a meat baseDietary restrictions: Will make concessions anytime she is able for youParking: Has handicap parking right in front of entryKid-friendliness: Owners have their own kids and know what kids likeWheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking, wide doors and table options make it easy for any disabled person”
“My fav place for cheesecake! So many options and they are all delish! Oh and don't even get me started on the, piped fresh when ordered, cannolis! Omggggg. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Love this hidden gem. Food is ALWAYS good.Vegetarian options: A number of dishes are vegetarian but I don't remember if there was a specific section labeled vegetarian.Wheelchair accessibility: Entry large enough for wheelchairs. Room at tables floor easy access and sidewalk level entry, no stairs. Plenty of room parking.”
“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!!”
“OMG! The Soup today was beyond awesome, always clean and friendly. The art on the walls is a must see. My Sandwich was one of the best. You will no go away hungry and price...$12.99 is money well spent. Parking can be an issue but it's worth driving around the block to fine somewhere to park. Lot's to choose from off the menu.”
“Every time I head over to Viva Taqueria, I know I'm in for a good time. The place is always buzzing, and the moment you walk in, you're hit with a bunch of great choices. I'm a big fan of Mexican food, so I make it a point to try something different every visit. Haven't been let down yet! The rice and beans? Spot on. It might seem small, but getting those right says a lot about everything else they serve up.Price-wise, it's perfect for me. I usually end up spending around $10-20, which feels just about right for the quality and the amount of food you get. It's my first choice when I'm out and craving Mexican.They've got this salsa bar that's always fresh, and catching a soccer game on the TV just adds to the vibe. I enjoy soccer, so this is a big plus in my book. Also, I must say, the staff are great with requests. During the Super Bowl, they switched the channel for some guests, no hassle, for them and their family & friends who all wanted some Mexican food and enjoy the game. It's those little things, you know?But really, it all comes back to the food for me—outstanding. I've even told the staff how much I enjoy this place. Everyone's got their own tastes of course, which I appreciate, but for me, Viva Taqueria definitely in the top 5 Mexican spots on my list. Great food, fair prices, in a cool spot where you can chill and maybe catch a game.So, Viva Taqueria isn't just another restaurant to me; it's where I head to when I want a guaranteed good meal and a good time. Definitely recommend it to anyone looking for solid Mexican cuisine in a friendly atmosphere.”
“Best croissant I EVER ate! I know...you think "It's a croissant. How good can it be?" Crispy but not crunchy on the outside and tender pillowy inside. We also tried the sticky bun. Delicious and huge. Get one to share. And the porkstrami scone. Tasty and not dry. I will be making special trips just for the croissants! I'm ruined for any others now. (lol)”
“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!!”
“I was Craving some Mexican food tonight and decided to take the family out. First time trying this place out. Nice little spot and they had different options for the kids who don't like Mexican food (ours). Tasty food! We definitely enjoyed our dinner and will be coming back. ???”
“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 .”
“Had a fantastic anniversary dinner last night. We started out with our cocktails made by Jeremiah, absolutely delicious. Heather our wait staff was fantastic and attentive to our needs. Wine and food was marvelous. Calamari was delicious, pasta with steak was great and the New York strip was wonderful. Dessert was very decadent and a special plate with "Happy Anniversary" on it. Fantastic experience and we will definitely be back.”
“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.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Noticed I had some free food on my farmers boys app and decided to try out their grilled chicken avocado sandwich. The sandwich was fantastic! The bread was toasted and had a nice buttery garlic flavor. The avocado and produce on the sandwich were very fresh. The grilled chicken was fresh and juicy. The sandwich was really filling by itself. I only managed to eat half and this is considering I didn't even eat breakfast. Farmer boys knocks it out of the park!”
“I loved that they paid attention to details! They had great quality control by the cashier who took our order. They had forgotten the dark chocolate chips, and she was on it before we could say something. Love the service even when they are busy like this day!”
“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 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!”
“Great coffee and great service! I love walking here on my break and getting an iced latte or their strawberry smoothie. So happy to support a locally owned business.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Queen Bean Coffeehouse offers a delightful experience for coffee, tea, and sandwich enthusiasts alike. The spacious interior, coupled with outdoor seating, provides the perfect ambiance for meetings or catching up with friends. Today, the manager went above and beyond, crafting a delicious sandwich that perfectly complemented my choice of a Earl Grey tea with a hint of sugar. Having frequented this gem over the past decade, it consistently delivers positive experiences, making it a reliable go-to spot for a satisfying culinary and social indulgence.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Went there for lunch the other day. Food was tasty and fresh. The owner was very nice and personable. Service was quick and attentive. We had shrimp tacos and birrias and they were very good! Portions were generous. Prices are comparable to other Mexican restaurants. Chips and salsa were included in our lunch. Lots of places to sit and have a leisurely lunch. Will be back to check out their breakfast menu some time. Worth checking out!”
“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.”
“❤️❤️❤️ I HAD A GREAT QUICK DRIVE THROUGH VISIT YESTERDAY. THE SERVICE, FOOD AND WAIT WAS EXCELLENT, I'LL BE BACK SOON #JESUSANDME2023 ???????????????”
“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”
“workers here are fantastic. i used to work at coldstone right next door and all of them were so friendly. javier and carlos are the best! the fries are super good and i love the lemonade.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
Cheap Eats
“The freaking best, on Friday, Saturday & Sunday they have a condiments cart outside with some really good salsas and condiments to go with your food. It's like being at a family party and you get to customize your tacos to your liking. I just found this place and love it, it's definitely going to be my go to. Plus they're open until 11 pm sometimes Midnight so for people who like late night eats this is the spot!Also the adds on the wall are helpful, it's cool they support local businesses by allowing them to post their add.”
“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.”
“Eating here was absolutely amazing! The food was incredibly delicious and the lady serving was very nice to everyone. The inside was spotless clean. The art that's displayed and music make the eating experience even more enjoyable.”
“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 ”
“Great food and service. Some of the best pizza I've ever had. Pizzas were loaded with toppings and cheese was layered nicely. Definitely would recommend to anybody looking for great pizza!”
“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!”
“Delicious banana split. Got a large and extra large to go. The restaurant is a cute little spot for a date or have a little birthday party. Will definitely come back in the future if I am in the area.”
“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.”
“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.☺️”
“The is small business w/a cozy atmosphere. There's both table & booth seating. Complimentary chips, salsa, cabbage & bean dip. Service is friendly & prompt. I ordered the steak Drea's Sweets Salad. Very fresh & made to order. I'll definitely go back. Recommend.Dietary restrictions: Low carb, diabetic.”
“THIS IS THE BEST MEXICAN FOOD IVE TASTED IN ALONG TIME THEIR PASTOR IS SO DAM GOOD ITS LIKE GRILLED AND ITS NOT GREASY. THE CHULPA,ASADA FIRES,HAND MADE TORTILLAS FOR THE TACOS WERE FIRE????????????? THE TORTA WITH AVOCADO AND PANELA GRILLED CHEES WAS AMAZING.. IF YALL HAVENT TRIED THIS PLACE YET GO SUPPORT THEM I PROMISE YALL AINT GOING TO WANT ANY OTHER TACO TRUCK OR RESTAURANT. THE HORCHATA WAS MADE TO PERFECTION NOT SUPPER SWEET AND THE STRAWBERRY CHEESE CAKE AND FLAN ? WAS KILLER. THANK YOU LADIES YALL ARE GOING TO BE SEEING ME AND MY FAMILY A LOT.”
“I hit up their food truck just now is the Lathrop food plaza, and their jalapeno pizza pretzel was so delicious and a real comfort food. Definitely an upgrade from the taste of chain shops! 10/102nd Order:It was so good I ended up getting more!The Pretzel Dog was so light, buttery and melty! The actual hotdog was good quality and tasty.The Cinnamon(?) Pretzel sticks were soft and bouncy. A donut like flavor but no awkward shape. If I had some coffee I'd be dipping this in like an oreo.The Almond Crunch Pretzel Sticks won me over with their texture and were my favorite!”
“Love the food here and be careful if you order the moon juice its delicious but just one drink made me super tipsy! Highly recommend trying the peanut butter Thai chicken skewers or the avacado tacos for an appetizer to share.”
“The parking not that great, the seafood excellent, great prices....Kid-friendliness: Excellent food, my 8th time eating at London fish. Friendly sevice!!!! Not a fancy place very comfortable...”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”

Bag O' Crab
“Ahhhh...the smell of crabs and shrimp permeate It may seem that it is expensive but a $54.00 bag of a whole crab, shrimp, corn and potatoes on a sauce of your choice is a bargain. It satisfies 2 people and is absolutely delicious. You will be able eat caveman style and there will be a mess at the end. How perfect! Oh, and put your phones away or be sad that it went swimming in sauce.”
“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!”
“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!”

Redwood Café
“My favorite date night go to. Love the ambience and feel while dining here. Food is amazing every time. Can't go wrong. Redwood Cafe is a staple in Modesto. Please don't change a thing.”

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.”
“Raw Sushi Bistro is fantastic. The best sushi you could possibly get in the 209 area. The restaurant has a great ambiance. It's very clean and dimly lit. The sushi itself is impeccable. The staff is very fast and very nice. I highly recommend Raw Sushi Bistro for anyone that loves sushi.”
“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...”
“Thank you Starlla!! Good lunch and drinks and fun vibe will definitely be back!!! Loved everything and drinks included will have to come for the night vibe for sure!!! But even though bad weather we made the drive and so worth it !!!”
“I don’t ever do reviews but this was SO GOOD! I am a big Ravioli fan! Everywhere I go i base it off that especially Italian restaurants. I can honestly say tonight was one of the best I have had around the valley and I’ve been to a lot of places. Great food, atmosphere, and great service!! I am a server/bartender so I have high standards when it comes to servers, but Bryce was Great! I recommend 100%”

Osaka Sushi
“Service was okay, atmosphere was very quiet but it was also a Sunday afternoon after 1:00 so it might be different at another time the food was great I got the hotel California roll because I'm not a raw sushi kind of person.”

SURLA's
“Update: March 2024We came again Thursday for their new Prix fixe menu. You've got to try it! We had a tasty arugula salad with the perfectly tangy vinaigrette. The second course was short ribs with mashed potatoes and veggies. A little pepper would have helped, but still the meat was very tender, potatoes creamy and veggies with just the right crunch. Dessert was creme brulee, yum, one of my favorites.We had a large group and sat outside in the patio. The food was good. We tried several appetizers and they were excellent. My chicken dinner was only OK, but my husband loved his steam. Dewz, though, had an even better streak in his opinion. When the sun went down, there was outdoor heading and fire puts to keep us warm. Two nights later Surla's catered a dinner at the Vet Center and that was fantastic. We'll be back.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Food and service was good my garlic fries were little to garlic for me..I wish the music wasn’t that loud you can even have a normal conversation without yelling.”
“Today we opted for Indian food while in Modesto. These guys are downtown and they have only been open for 7 months!! Everything we tried was OUTSTANDING! As was their service.”
“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.”
“The food and the new building is amazing. You can’t get better food without driving to the Bay Area. It’s truly a hidden gem in our city. The wait at times is long, but the food is phenomenal and worth the wait..”
“Myself and four fiends were on a road trip down Hwy 99 and just happened upon George's as it popped up on our map app. What a welcome surprise it turned out to be. We ordered from the lunch menu because the regular looked to be too much. I had the Prime Rib Stacker sandwich. Price was very reasonable and the food was the bomb. Lynna was our waitress. She was very pleasant and took good care of us. She even offered to split our checks for us, which we were not really expecting. Big thumbs up.”
“The food was delicious and there is a wonderful variety of seafood dishes. The server was attentive but trying to hear her was difficult. My biggest complaint was the noise. I didn't mind the karaoke, there were some pretty good singers, but do they have to have the volume maxed out on the system? I mean there were only about a dozen people in the whole restaurant! It really affected being able to enjoy the meal. I probably won't be back unless I know they don't have the music going.”
“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.”
“It was a good time. Porterhouse steak with mushroom sauce and lobster tail, French onion soup, chicken bacon mushrooms with a honey mustard sauce, mac and cheese,blooming onion, bread with butter, XX beer, raspberry ice tea . $140 including tip.”
“Truly, the BEST health foods store. Employees practice excellent customer service and are extremely kind. WIDE variety of products. If something is not in stock, they always try their best to get the product and will contact you while putting product on hold. Juice Bar is amazing as well. Highly recommend, you won’t be disappointed. I rate Village Health Foods not a 10/10, but a 25/10.”
“Breakfast options were abundant. I had an omelet and it was delicious. The atmosphere was great and I would definitely recommend the restaurant for breakfast or brunch. Our server was attentive. The only thing that was disappointing was the coffee.”
“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.”
“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.”

Pizza Guys
“First time here also buying from pizza guys, cashier was very professional.Location was clean.Also front of the store was clean and outside store.Prices I believe reasonably priced.They have a refrigerator for ice cream and sodas very clean.Store fully lit.There are two chairs at the waiting area, due to space of the store I think it just fine.There are 3 monitor showing specials,I bought two pepperoni pizzas in overall for was awesome “Parking: Plenty of parking spotsWheelchair accessibility: Yes they have a parking spot for ADA”
“Seriously such nice staff, especially Zack! He was super patient with my order! I work nearby and can't wait to make this my weekend spot thanks to him! 10/10”
“Under new ownership from a great family. Had our boys in for a pizza party. Pizza was fresh and on point. Perfect amount of cheese and sauce was perfect. Definitely going to come back!”
“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.”

Tresettis
“My daughter took me for my birthday. Amazing food, service was spectacular and the ambiance was magical. Will definitely return with friends and family in the near future.”
“Love their Crab Benedict. I order it every time we eat breakfast here. It's like the traditional eggs Benedict, but instead of a slice of ham it has a crab cake on a English muffin, topped with a poached eggs and holiday sauce. Give it a try!”
“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. They have R&B brunches the 1st Saturday of the month whichi advice to book/reserve 2 weeks to a month ahead because they sell out. And they have comedy and another R&B on Fridays(Call or Check on there website and Instagram page) Like I commented, my 1st time there,and have to say..Very Impressed.. And there Food was AWESOME ? along with there Service. Heck I went Twice on the same day(Lunch and Back for Dinner,Looking forward to there R&B Brunch)A Must Go.. ???Parking: There is parking in front But on there Busy Days.. theyvdo have parking on the side.”
“This is a take out of the absolute BEST vegetarian (non-vegan) pizza. Not a dine in spot, but worth finding a park bench or spot at home to eat a whole family size by oneself ✍️???”
“Service was amazing! The steaks were tasty but very fatty and they weren't cooked the way we asked. We would come back for the service and give it another try!”
“Love the beer club, great deal if you like beer and pizza! Our go-to pizza is the Sweet Pig. Always great service except this time, I assumed the server was new, I think she could have been better trained, she had no idea about the beer club, served us the Pizookiie without utensils, etc. Overall BJs is always a favorite place for us.”
“The staff's attention is quick, the food is very good, it's the best I've had anywhere near here, the atmosphere is nice, the only thing I don't think is familiar”
“I loved the food here. I cooked most of it myself, lol. They also have the option to not do your own cooking, but it is definitely a fun experience. The sushi rolls here are delicious. In particular, the Gorilla Roll, which is my all-time favorite. Great service and friendly staff. I definitely recommend this place.”

MikiSushi
“First time here and I was very impressive. One of the only few sushi spots in Modesto open past 9 pm. The service was very phenomenal. The staff kept checking up on us and made great suggestions. I would definitely recommend the bento dinner box with the honey sesame chicken and the spicy dragon roll.Parking: Parking is huge. Lots of parking up front.”

Mr Camarón
“Stopped by to check it out. First thing I noticed was how clean it was. We had the opportunity to try some new dishes. The presentation, taste, and portions were spot on! The service was great. Can't wait for them to unveil their new menu options.”
“Been going here for a while and I’ve been loving the food and convenience of having meals for between my own meal prep or just to break up the food choices in my rotation. Meets my needs!”
“Do not order delivery from here confirmed order online and didn’t receive when asked for refund for parts I did not receive they wouldn’t refund, brought entire pizza back for refund and the woman still refused to refund… it was 41$ for a pepperoni pizza and a ranch!”
“I was good friends with Ernest Gallo. He used to come into my restaurants every time he came to San Francisco. I had an 800#, and he would call me the next day after each visit and give me his personal review of his meal the day before. I've always loved his wines and drink them daily to this day!”
“In a food court of a large mall, this place served food fast. Pizza was on display pre-prepared but decided to order spaghetti and meatballs. The meatballs were soft and flavorful but sauce a little to runny for me.”

EL BOTANERO

Tacos Colima
“I'm not much into taco trucks but when I stumbled upon this one I have never gone to another truck since. This place is great, with great customer service and great food.

“She was really good! She made the cake exactly like the picture I wanted. It was a bit pricy but it was really worth it! Thank you Lida! I will be ordering again !”
“Great food and atmosphere. Can't go wrong with the garlic fries or street tacos and if they have it as a special, try the clam chowder. Yum! Service is always exceptional”
“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.”

Umi Sushi
“Thinking about sushi and a good deal stop in. The service was very on point. We never worried about an empty glass or what to order. Our server was very attentive. We watched the game, drank sushi bombs and gobbled down a few rolls with fried tempura. Oh the miso soup was pretty tasty too. My dinner partner said they have really good deals on rolls on certain days. I think he said Monday through Thursday but im not positive. We went on Sunday and I didn't pay so I'm not sure how much dinner cost. Definitely going again and wanting to try other options.”
“Amazing service. The music was great and the drinks and food were even better! We shared the torre marimoto & torre pacifico! Amazing ceviche and the drinks were 10/10. Will definitely be back! :)”

“I loved the pizza here. I'm a picky pizza eater but no complaints here. I will be going back ?Vegetarian options: N/ADietary restrictions: N/AParking: N/AKid-friendliness: N/AWheelchair accessibility: N/A”
“Went in for a date night and ordered miso soup, unagi & scallop bites, Standiford roll (without shrimp), and the 49ers roll. Everything was AMAZING! 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.”
“The guys working there have been th er re for a long time and all of them proving great service. Their communication with customers and each other is commendable and should be recognized by corporate. These guys keep me coming back to THIS particular Papa Murphy's.”

“All you can eat sushi, what more could you want? I've dined in this place more times than I can count in the past few years, and i always enjoy myself even though I always leave feeling stuffed. They have classic table options, but they also have the Sushi, bar in the center that has probably 50 or so boats carrying sushi that slowly rotate around the tables, the people that work here are great. in the back also they have a classic Asian buffet, which has most options you would find at others including my favorite coconut shrimp.”

“Myself and four fiends were on a road trip down Hwy 99 and just happened upon George's as it popped up on our map app. What a welcome surprise it turned out to be. We ordered from the lunch menu because the regular looked to be too much. I had the Prime Rib Stacker sandwich. Price was very reasonable and the food was the bomb. Lynna was our waitress. She was very pleasant and took good care of us. She even offered to split our checks for us, which we were not really expecting. Big thumbs up.”

“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.”

“It was a very pleasant dining experience. The restaurant front was kept nice. Once entered the restaurant itself had a pleasant atmosphere, very welcoming. Our food was fresh and delicious. The cherry on top though, is the blueberry cheesecake we took home. This is gona last us a few days and being 7 months pregnant....it hit the freaking cravings right on the spot.”

“I was Craving some Mexican food tonight and decided to take the family out. First time trying this place out. Nice little spot and they had different options for the kids who don't like Mexican food (ours). Tasty food! We definitely enjoyed our dinner and will be coming back. ???”
“Old time diner feel serving a great breakfast with generous portions. Pancakes were light and fluffy everything was delicious. Eggs, hash browns, bacon all for a reasonable price.”
“Good food, but it's pretty expensive considering you have to order at a counter and then they just drop off your food order to your table. For over $100 you would think a little more service and atmosphere would be included. I had to ask for salt and I got 4 tiny packets to take back to my table.”
“We had a birthday party and had a blast! Our party host was great, an absolute sweatheart keeping the kids entertained while we were there.The only downside is that you pay before the party and it asks for tip before you've even had the party so I opted out. They came in to ask me if I needed refunding of anyone who may not have shown up but nothing about tips. I recommend bringing cash for the sake of tipping after the party, that man *more* than earned it!Also if you're bringing decorations: they don't allow you to tape or pin up anything, but you can bring helium ballons and they have knob kinda things on the room divider walls to wrap the ends of a banner to! Also, candles: they say you CAN bring your candles for blowing out. I learned from experience that the trick reigniting candles, while great for photo ops if you have eager candle blowers, are not-so-great for indoors as they do put off aloooot of smoke. We quickley opened the doors so we wouldn't set a smoke alarm off ?Great time, good fun, and great memories made!”

“I've dined in this restaurant a handful of times, they have the best sweet and sour pork I've ever tasted (I've tried a lot) the lunch specials are such a good deal can get a plate of food with chow mein for around 11-12$ the servers working here are accommodating.”
