44 Best American Restaurants in Modesto

“Tresetti’s has always been my go to spot in downtown Modesto for years! Love the food and atmosphere.“

“Enjoyed the grilled Halibut with lemon, capers, and cream sauce dinner with perfectly cooked vegetables and white rice, and a house salad. And our server, Kyle, was excellent and welcoming. We’ve had Kyle as our server at lunch and he’s always happy, welcoming, and an excellent server. Highly recommend you try Mike’s Grillhouse for lunch or dinner. They have a great variety of choices in their menu. You won’t be disappointed. Their portions are plentiful enough to be able to split a meal if you don’t have a big appetite. They have a Beer & Wine only license, I believe. The Wine Margaritas are very good. Try them— in shopping area east of Costco— You won’t be disappointed.“

“I would have to say I 100% recommend the sirloin combo that has the choice of ribs or shrimp I chose the shrimp and it was my favorite part the sirloin was good and I also recommend the big baked potato that was delicious and the appetizer of the big deep fried onion i for got what it’s called I know it’s cactus something all in all great restaurant staff was very friendly and great customer service.“

“I haven’t been to a sizzlers in ages yet I always forget how great the salad bar is, on my recent visit I was greeted by this lovely lady named Kimberly she’s super sweet.I had the chance of trying out their New York Steak & Fries. WOW let me tell you I haven’t had such a perfectly cooked New York in a while it was so juicy and tender + the fries complimented it to perfection.On top of that my waiter Eddie made our families dinner amazing, charming guy super funny. We will definitely come back again!Thanks to Eddie, Kimberly & the rest of the Sizzler team for making our experience awesome!“

“I love the food, it never disappoints! The ladies are wonderful and this is one of my favorite places to eat. My top favs: chicken teriyaki sandwich, Tri-tip sandwich and the BBQ chicken wrap. I've never had their burgers but everyone tells me they're delicious! Totally recommend this place! You won't regret it! Thank you ladies for your delicious food!“

“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.“

“The food is always fantastic and they have a great selection of beer on tap. Service is always friendly and helpful.“

“We went last night and met a friend who brought her baby, and the customer service was just exceptional. I paid for dinner but was holding my friends baby and distracted and i definitely realized later I didn't tip enough so I just wanted to shout out. I don't recall her name but she had blond hair and glasses and she was awesome. We have never been here til last night but I would 100% go again and that gal deserves all the positive feedback. 10/10. Food was good as well.“

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.“

“Had the Dubliner Dip and a Guinness, great food! Our server was very polite and always there when we needed her. Just a little sad that the fire wasn't lit, maybe because it was a Friday? We went on a Sunday a few months back and loved the ambience that it created.“

“Great food, friendly service.“

“Tonight I went there for the first time and to celebrate my daughter’s birthday, the food was AMAZING!!!! The atmosphere was very nice and relaxing, the service was awesome.“

“i love there food it is delicious“

“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...“

“I door dashed my food. All three items were outstanding. The chicken that comes with the garlic noodles was perfectly cook and seasoned perfectly. You guys killed with the Pot stickers. They had chunks of chicken! Not over processed and light and cooked for the perfect chew. The dipping couldn't be any more perfect and just the right heat. Thank you and I am going to put a plug in Facebook. I'm looking forward to my next meal.“

“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 “

“Phenomenal venue with a great atmosphere, catering and service staff. We've had multiple events and meetings at this spot and have yet to have a bad experience.“

“I was there on Mothers day and the brunch was wonderful as was the staff. I was there when Austin spray was there and the group and themselves were the only problem. No one else in the restaurant has had the same problem. Guest received exactly what was advertised and it was delicious! It is fathers day today and I am going back for the brunch! I'm looking forward to the delicious food and seeing the friendly staff. Keep up the great service all! I recommend Georges steakhouse to all and Austin... stay home.“

“Food is FANTASTIC! Meat is unbelievably tender and tasty. Portions are more than generous. Staff is extremely friendly. A must “go to” if you want good BBQ. Dan also does catering!“

“When you walk in you're greeted by awesome staff. Sat down right away & gave good recommendations! The burger was good & the onion rings were even better! The burger was a little more spicier than I thought and I was given a whole cutting of an onion in my burger but still LOVED the combo! On top of that, server gave the best service yet!“

“We went on Saturday the 23rd. I can't remember the waitresses name but she was excellent! The food was to die for we were a party of 10 everyone loved their meals. The ambiance was okay but nice and quiet. I can't wait to go back. One of the better restaurants in Modesto!“

“We enjoyed a wonderful dinner before going to the Gallo Center. We had the Garlic Shrimp Bruschetta, Ribeye steak with Gorgonzola cheese and Salmon & Shrimp. Looking forward to dinning here again.“

“I recommend yet have to say that no matter how busy the place is food needs to be served together for families dining together. My husband’s and daughter’s plate looked amazing, I ordered the vegan tacos and two tacos were filled sloppily and sparsely and one was just about empty and tortilla chips were stale. I had to send it back and the waitress that took it back even said “wth” when she seen my plate. When they brought me a new plate to my surprise my side that was supposed to be on my plate the first time suddenly showed up. I had to send it back again it was honestly the worst tasteless horrible dish I have ever been served . They asked me if I wanted to order something else so I ordered breakfast and they brought me two separate “saucers” one with eggs hastily slapped on the plate and the other with hash browns. It literally was so awful so it looks like I will return only when my family wants to go, I’ll take a coffee and eat before…“

“Very modern design. Great lighting Very clean, plenty of security. The DJ plays a good mix of music. It’s a bit loud but lots of fun!“

“Very nice restaurant. Great food and entertainment . Im a beer drinker so we usually dine where the best beer is. Just wish that they had a local IPA craft beer on tap!“
