“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.“

“Local exquisite food, wine and SERVICE!!! This Restaurant might not say anything to you from the outside, but when you enter you know your at the right place! DGLB Band had a presentation this past October 21st for the Red Tie Arts Org. Global Concert Series and it was Fantastic!! For a great night out you need to look no further, PAPAPOLLONI Mediterranean Bistro & Bar is the place to go for a Modesto Fine Dinning!“
