Camp 4 Wine Café 1508 10th St, Modesto Cafe • $$

“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!”

“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. :)”

Mike's Grillhouse 3801 Pelandale Ave Ste #B11, Modesto Grills • $$

“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!!!”

“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.”

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.”

The Fruit Yard 7948 Yosemite Blvd, Modesto Family • $

“My husband and/or sister come to the Fruit Yard restaurant often, so thought I’d post about a few of our favorite menu items.If you go on Mondays, you can’t go wrong with their Homemade Corned Beef and Cabbage… the spices are perfect and so are the portions. Wednesdays they have their prime rib on special… very tasty. And every day of the week, (if you’re a person of a certain age?), you can order off their Senior menu… I find the portions to be just right, and you can’t beat the price ($12-15 for most items). Add a trip to their Salad Bar (which in my opinion is the best around) to any entree for $6… and you’ve got a spectacular meal, without breaking the bank.”

Modesto Sukiyaki 3507 Tully Rd Suite 130, Modesto Japanese • $

“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.”

I came with my eight-year-old niece to celebrate our date day and my grandson’s birthday who lives in Colorado. Since he was not here and I came out to have a celebration together. Well, in the midst of having this celebration, we met Dave the bartender, Eddie , the waiter and another great waiter. Dave was a hoot. He made pictures of us and showed us all of his awesome Garfield pictures and told us some really corny jokes that made us laugh and laugh and laugh. ?

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.

“I have to say and all my years of coming to Olive Garden I have never had so much fun as I have today. I came with my eight-year-old niece to celebrate our date day and my grandson’s birthday who lives in Colorado. Since he was not here and I came out to have a celebration together. Well, in the midst of having this celebration, we met Dave the bartender, Eddie , the waiter and another great waiter. Dave was a hoot. He made pictures of us and showed us all of his awesome Garfield pictures and told us some really corny jokes that made us laugh and laugh and laugh. ? Eddie also affectionately known as Lalo was a great server and attended to all of our needs and made sure we were happy and well taken care of. And Anna, what a ray of sunshine, brought our food out as fast as a flash with the help of the kitchen….thank you kitchen staff! ? The food was absolutely delicious… As always, the salad was fresh and nicely cold and crispy! My eggplant was HOT and nice and crispy and the gluten-free pasta OMG ? to die for! If you need to eat gluten-free pasta, this is the best I’ve ever had. Thank you, Olive Garden team for making my day a special and memorable one with my niece. We will be back!!!!!!☺️Happy Birthday Domiyanno, Lita misses you! ”

“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.”

“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.”

Carnitas El Bajio 1701 Standiford Ave # A, Modesto Mexican • $$

“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!”

Verona's Cucina Italiana 1700 McHenry Ave #46, Modesto Italian • $$$

“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!”

Sushi Garden 3500 Coffee Rd #25, Modesto Sushi • $$

“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.”

“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...”

SURLA's 431 12th St, Modesto Asian Fusion • $$

“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.”

“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.”

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.”

“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.”

“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!”

The Fruit Yard 7948 Yosemite Blvd, Modesto Family • $

“My husband and/or sister come to the Fruit Yard restaurant often, so thought I’d post about a few of our favorite menu items.If you go on Mondays, you can’t go wrong with their Homemade Corned Beef and Cabbage… the spices are perfect and so are the portions. Wednesdays they have their prime rib on special… very tasty. And every day of the week, (if you’re a person of a certain age?), you can order off their Senior menu… I find the portions to be just right, and you can’t beat the price ($12-15 for most items). Add a trip to their Salad Bar (which in my opinion is the best around) to any entree for $6… and you’ve got a spectacular meal, without breaking the bank.”
