“THE BEST CARNITAS TACOS I HAVE EVER HAD.we drive to Hughson from Sacramento just to eat at this taco trailer. My only complaint is that i cannot fit more of their tacos in my belly.”

“This was a favorite of ours when we lived in Oakdale years ago.Now that we moved back this is our favorite Mexican place to eat here in town.Food is always good and we always have great service!”

“A very nice place, a nice and kind staff. The food and coffee were yummy. The prices are reasonable. The space inside is a bit limited but we felt comfortable ourselves.”

“Food was delicious! Consume was so ? good, they made my food to order without cheese and labeled it very clearly. Worth the drive, looking forward to my next visit.Dietary restrictions: Birria was delicious I have dietary restrictions, unfortunately I am lactose intolerant and cannot have cheese. They made my plate with love and labeled it very clearly from every other plate. So happy and can't wait to return again”

“Try their lunch buffet if you like a variety of pizza spicy and regular styles for lunch, give their lunch buffet a try. At only 10.99 including drink it is a great bargain these days. The food flavorful and well prepared. The buffet gives you a way of tasting their many and varied styles of pizza, then you know what to order for a good Friday night at home. Give it a try as I did on a suggestion and i strongly believe you will go back.”

“Amazing place, hearty really delicious food. Terrific fast service. As we were paying our check we were asked if we'd like coffee or water to go. Definitely will come back and recommend highly.”

“Absolutely wonderful dinner. Our server Issac was absolutely THE BEST. He was the most personable and professional server I have ever experienced. I will definitely be back. Thank You Issac for a Wonderful First Experience.”

“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!”

“Their service is amazing!!! I rarely leave any kind of restaurant saying that but the young man in the front was so accommodating and kind. I got their green glow bowl, it was delicious. It was even better when I added Sriracha. 10/10 will be back soon.”

“Very good overall. The food was very tasty and the portions were large. The only negative was a large party that was seated behind our table who were very loud making it difficult to have a conversation. I would recommend for dinner.”

“The best vegan pizza I've had. The vegan artichoke pizza was very good and tasted very fresh. Pizzeria Halt has a great vibe to it and is very clean. The staff were very friendly and pleasant to interact with. I will definitely be visiting this restaurant again.”

“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.”

“They have always had amazing rice, hummus, and chicken shawarma... I tried the falafel plate today and decided they deserve a 5 star review. Friendly service, and everything is always tasty and fresh. ???”

“Great service and wonderful product! Never disappointed. Highly recommend especially the milk chocolate and semi sweet chocolate cookies which alternate weekly.”

“Since I'm with my family, I need to go grocery shopping. They will be cooking every meal, and as a Syrian, I love homemade food. The quality of the food here is good and genuine, just like what we used to have in our home ”

“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. :)”

“A different, but good version of a burger. We had a smash burger, aloha,. Burgers were messy and loved it. Chunky pineapple and small sliver of beef. Kind of odd yummy. Setting was bar type with spread out areas. Nice place to visit. Staff was upbeat. Nice for a change. As always post wherever your palate ends up.”

“Cutest little hole in the wall I've ever seen! Great menu selection, sandwiches can be made vegan just remove meat , cheese and mayo. We got the Annie and Judee , made vegan, with chips and a drink - came out $18. Very yummy!”

“Great people who take pride in the cleanliness and preparation of your food. This place is a jewel in Modesto if you're concerned about what you put in your temple.”

“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”

“So I am not from Hughson and found this place online. Gotta say this place was so good and had friendly service. The food was soo delicious. I highly recommend it if you happen to be driving through Hughson and want a bite! I will definitely be visiting them again! ? 5 ⭐️ rating all the way!!!”

“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!”

“This place is amazing. It was my first time here and we had a rather large group (8 ppl) and they were able to move tables and chairs for us. The place is small but really cozy. The food was amazing and they have nice plates and cups which just adds to the atmosphere. They are so kind and again food is amazing.”

“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! ?”

“Glad we decided to try this mom and pop restaurant! 2 of us had Chicken Glorious and it was to die for and the other 2 got the Chicken Broccoli Alfredo which was also amazing. Will be coming back again next time we come to town.”

“Absolutely superb service and ambiance. The vibes are perfect for a date night. Bar sitting, outdoor seating, and beautiful decor indoors. That steak was tender and seasoned. Espresso martini was perfect as well the old fashion. Shrimp had a little garlic touch to it & the broccolini was steamed to perfection”

“Such a great spot to come chill and have a drink from a full tap room full of different times of crafts beers to spirit drinks ! The food menu never disappoints from getting burgers wings fries chilaquiles and a fridge full of can beers for sale! Highly recommend to come by weather you want to come to the bar and have a drink or come with the family to have a meal!”

“Dope environment! Brandon & Jordan always take care of me like family in there. Teeth whitening service was A1 for the price you pay and time it takes. Good tattoos at this location you get what you pay for , thank you guys for providing a environment that feels like home ?”

“Best Pizza in Oakdale. Great service. Steve is a great guy who puts his heart into making the best pizza for his customers. And you gotta try the Buffalo Garlic Parmesan Wings! They are on another level. Fresh ingredients and great taste at Stevies Pizzeria. I definitely recommend this place!!! ?”

“The Mary’s half chicken is my favorite restaurant chicken, hands down. I’ve traveled a LOT, all over the world for my work. The flavors of this dish only get better the next day (if you can save some for tomorrow). The pesto infused cornbread croutons combined with the arugula, juicy cranberries and succulent chicken….gawt dayum. Plus it’s a pretty healthy dish overall, not a lot of carbs. Win win win. Except for the “Brumble” cocktail, a summer treat that is sooooo delicious you can count it as desert. Big fan here and I’m one picky broad.”
