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

“My husband and I tried this place for the first time last Monday. It was great! We had the outside area near the outdoor fire to ourselves. The food and drinks were on fire LITERALLY. The portions were very big so I would say it’s worth the money. Two people could easily share an entree. The drink didn’t taste that good and they did forget to add shrimp to my pasta but besides that it was a very nice night. We would try this place again!“

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

“I love coming here on week nights… Wednesday night it’s lightly attended but the drinks are wonderful (I had an old fashioned) and the live music was on point! Matthew Davis has a great sound and perfect vibe for the atmosphere. Great place to duck in for a couple “

“These guys were great. I have celiacs, a gluten allergy, and they baked my hot wings and french fries just so I could eat. I really appreciate that as it's really hard to find good food.That's gluten free. They went out of their way to do this for me. The food was excellent! I highly recommend their hot wings and french fries! Delicious!“

“Normally love this place. The food is cooked fresh to order. It takes a bit of a wait but its so worth it but tonight my husband and I tried to go through the drive through at 1:30am as they are 24 hours. All the lights are on INCLUDING THE OPEN SIGN but there was no one there. We realized after that there wasn't even a car there. Very odd and disappointing. Never had that happen here. Turn the open sign off if you're not open.“
