“The service was great! Little hiccups with woman at front desk. That person seems to be a little nit picky with customers and staff. Come to find out she's a manager. It really sets the tone for the employees but the employees seem to overcome and are really customer focused! We love Cassandra and Deanna, and especially the woman who replenishes the food. They are always pleasant and prioritize customer and cleanliness.
Parking: There were construction guys and landscapers blocking entrance. We tried to wait and they gave us a look and waved us on like we were being unreasonable for waiting. What egos!
Kid-friendliness: They treat the little ones like people.”

“I had my 58th birthday party last night at camp 4 , everything was amazing from the charcuterie boards to the yummy Panini sandwiches everything was excellent! The servers were awesome and on point! I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place to have my birthday get together . There were 15 people in our party and every thing went smoothly! Thank you again camp 4 for an amazing evening .”

“I've never had shabushabu before and it was amazing! So many choices of everything! It's buffet and ridiculously delicious. So much food and so healthy too. Good idea to go for lunch because it's cheaper than dinner. And they were so kind to let me and my friend sit as long as we wanted. The service was wonder. I will definitely be back!”

Grills • $$
“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.”

“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!”

“My third and final stop on my Modesto beer tour, and my favorite of the bunch, although I liked all of them.
Easy street parking.
Absolutely love the old school shuffleboard tables, they have leagues playing, seems like a lot of fun.
This place has everything you want in a brewpub. You can belly up at the bar, sit at communal tables, or crash on sofas. There's pinball machines, it's doggo friendly, and there's a food truck/caterer, and live music.
I only tried one beer but it was excellent.
This would totally be my local if I lived around here.”

“WOW!
I've attempted to come here a few times not realizing it was during the midday close, however today we came for dinner. I am so glad we did. The service was exceptional and thoughtfully attentive but not overbearing. The pan fried gyozas were delicate and flavorful. The spicy edamame were the most flavorful and well balanced I've tried in town(and I've tried them all). I got the (haha) Dirty old man roll and every bite was delicious and well rounded. The miso soup was perfectly hot and the hot sake was filled to the brim. All in all an absolute pleasure of a dining experience. 10/10 my only regret is not coming here sooner.”

“DELICIOUS FLAVORS make you wish we could dine here every day. The best tacos we have ever tasted by far!! We dined on tacos de birria, tacos de longenesa and tacos de Cameron. We picked our plates clean to savor every lasting tasty morsel. The chef says that he has been a culinary professional for 28 years! He shared stories of his travels in Europe and all throughout Mexico to gain the knowledge and flavors of the different regions. We recommend a trip inland from the Marina Walmart to this little street side Cafe to tantalize your taste buds. They will thank you. Keto and vegan options were appreciated as well. ?”

Mexican • $
“BRUH. I ordered a supreme burrito with my card that cost me $14.15 exactly then I turn around the next day and ordered a regular burrito that cost me $13.02. Tell me how a “supreme burrito”and a regular burrito almost cost the same? Y’all be careful and pay attention to detail cause they be tweaking the prices. As far as the food; it’s decent I enjoyed it, But to tweak the prices is diabolical.”

“Dewz is a great place to have dinner while in Modesto. You would think there were not a lot of great places to dine in such a small town, but there is, and this is one.
We got there a tad early and had no wait at all. The place is very pretty and it is kept in great shape. Even the bathrooms are nice. They have a full bar and a small wine list, which is nice. Make a reservation for weekends.
The service is here is great. You are seated and someone is right with you. They check on you, but you are never rushed, and your food comes as ordered and hot.
We love all their items. I love their simple salad, it is just a great way to start dinner. Their starter calamari is great with spicy marinara aioli lemon wedges. We also love their pork belly with Korean BBQ steamed bun cucumber jalapeno cilantro daikon-carrots, it is just great. I hate having to pay for bread and their bread is $12.00, to thank I say no thank you. Also, baked brie is also great, but very filling. It has strawberry preserve pickled strawberries pistachio walnut thyme blackberry and balsamic toasted focaccia bread--now I have bread.
We love all their steaks, but especially their Prime tomahawk, pan roasted and served with seasonal vegetables, all sauces and your choice of starch. It is huge. The price depends on the size and what the market price is, You will love it. Get it rare.
The prices are up there, but reasonable considering what all you get and the wonderful service.
Have a great time.”

“Bella Italia is very nice place for dinner while in town. It is not the best ever, but we were quite happy with almost everything we ordered. The place is really pretty and the prices are fair.
We just loved the service. We were seated straight away. They have a nice wine list. Our server knew the menu well and was fast but we never felt rushed. I would make a reservation. We were there on a weekday and ate early so we were in great shape.
Most of the food we had was great. The minestrone soup was just perfect. We also loved our salads. I had the chicken marsala and it was just so melt in your mouth wonderful and packed with yummy mushrooms. We also had the ravioli in a white sauce that was so good. I would get that again. Finally, we had fried ravioli and it was good, not great. That I will not try again. There is just too much thick crust for me, but you might love it. The ravioli within the crust was very good.
All in all we would come back. We just loved the service, the calm atmosphere and the vast majority of the food.
Give them a try.”

“Okay, confession time—I’m not usually a taco person! Burritos? Yes. A big, cheesy quesadilla? Absolutely. But tacos? They’ve just never been my jam... until now.
So, I took the plunge and tried tacos for the first time at *this* place. Let me tell you, those hard shell tacos were on another level of crunchy goodness. Seriously, where have they been all my life?
Oh, and the presentation? Mind-blowing. Picture this: tacos surrounded by a colorful medley of grilled veggies. But wait—it gets better. They hit me with these perfectly grilled onions that took the whole experience up a notch. I was basically in food heaven.
And it’s not just the food. The people working there are so warm and friendly, they make you feel right at home. Honestly, that’s just as important as the food, right?
So, if you're on the hunt for some top-tier tacos, do yourself a favor and hit up this spot. Trust me—you’ll thank me later. You’re gonna love it! ?”

Hamburger • $
“Oh my goodness, what a wonderful flashback to the good old days! When a burger, was really a burger. When customers sitting in front, would wait for their order, and chat with one another about their favorite menu item. Each person I spoke with had nothing but great things to say about their favorite restaurant/drive-in.
The young lady at the register taking orders, about as sweet as she could be, helped me to choose the best item at the best price. The cook even pitched his opinion, and between the two of them I got a great combo, and a delicious dinner! I am definitely coming back, again and again!”

“A hot, fresh almond pretzel is amazing. To my delighted surprise, the leftovers (it's huge!) were still great 8 hours later. That is above and beyond on pretzel quality. So buttery! So delicious! Service was courteous and very good about explaining that a hot pretzel takes a few minutes. I was not crazy about the strawberry lemonade, but I'm not holding active grudges about it, either.”
“My wife likes the Menudo that they prepare here. It is one of the places where the flavor of Guadalajara Menudo is best and they always serve you well. Well, at least I don't have any bad experience. Maybe there was a group playing, the truth is, I don't even know if they have live music on Sundays or it was just for that day, but I didn't ask, I owe it to them.”
Bubble Tea • $
“Simple ordering online and pickup, this boba cafe is conveniently nearby the freeway exits. Parking is plenty, you'll have to meander through the long in-&-out line. Inside the cafe were many tables and seats you can comfortably dine at. Single bathroom inside but must ask for their key.
We ordered the house milk tea and black sugar assam. Preferred the house milk tea, as it had better flavor and perfect amount of sweetness.”

“Great food. Came here for the first time a few months ago and have been back several times since. Up until now the best Italian food I’ve ever had was when visited our daughter in San Diego and we always go to Buono Forcheta in the South Park area. Gusto is as good as they are. The depth of flavor in the bolognese sauce is amazing. The lasagna is also amazing. The other nice thing is that the kitchen is out in the open behind the bar area and you can watch the chef work his magic if you want to sit at the bar.”

“I enjoyed this place for Monday night NFL game. Smithwicks beer was really exceptional for a well rounded beer. It has a leading full flavor with very slight hoppy finish. Nothing at all like IPA hops just enough to know it’s a beer. Fish and chips were ok. I don’t like the heavy batter. They are big pieces but 50-60% batter. It is cod so I liked it after leaving behind a lot of fried batter. It does have good flavor so I did leave some batter on it. Still there was a lot left over. Service was great.
Parking: The staff/service was exceptional.”

“The inside has a nice look and feel to it. The staff is kind, service is average. Food was also average. I was recommended the fish and chips and the shrimp appetizer. The shrimp was great, the fish and chips was panko and needed salt.”
Pizza • $$
“Great food. Crispy, flaky crust like no other pizza place. Had a salad. While the price seems a bit high it was worth the price. The service was very helpful and quick. I had ordered ahead to avoid wait times(with Littles its hard to wait) but the other customers there had virtually no wait time. The only downside was that ita a small pizzeria with a big oven so it was a little warm. Overall I wouldn't hesitate to recommend visiting if you're looking for a great pizza, good atmosphere, and great value. Where else will you feed a family of 4 with leftovers for $50”

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.”

You are immediately happily greeted by their staff, seated and chips and dip are on their way, asked about drinks and here they are. Service is great and food even better. Tee is friendly and very pleasant. I can't believe the review about the customer who had the problem and Tee the manager said "so." I have been going there since they opened and never have I experienced any of the staff being rude. The place is clean and one of my priorities. I would highly recommend giving it a try. You won't be disappointed.”

“This hidden gem has been here for years. Decided to stop by for the lunch buffet and it was fresh and delicious! Plenty of variety of pizza and service was excellent. Helpful and nice.
Dining room was clean and spotless. About $25-30 for a complete meal with a tall drink on TAP. Plenty of choices for a cold drink and they have Pepsi products which is why I like around Table the best!
PEPSI AND PIZZA IS ALWAYS THE BEST COMBINATION!
They offer daily deals and Tuesday is kids day so take your kids for some fun!
They do have a Large party room you can reserve for large gatherings, celebrations and more.”

“In the mood for Rico’s Pizza. We forgot how good it is. We’ve been holding out on ordering pizza as it has gotten so expensive lately. The last large pizza we ordered somewhere else was almost $50. I couldn’t believe that it was $48 for a party size pizza. We have enough food for three days with meals. What a nice surprise. If you’re looking for good tasting pizza and an affordable price order from Ricos pizza. Thank you for the great service too. It was literally here in about 40 minutes.”

“Came her for a late lunch while we were waiting for our tires to get changed nearby. Friendly lady took our order. We tried their quesabirrias (picture), we actually liked the chivo (goat) birria better than the beef/res. It was very good, enjoyed the crunchy cheese on the outside of the tortilla too. Also tried a taco de canasta de chicharron y frijol. It was VERY GOOD. Like something from my grandma’s house lol. We tried the tacos de asada too they were pretty good. The nice thing is they have the salsas and onions/cilantro you can add yourself. Over all good experience since we had never been here before ? price wise pretty good too. We ordered quite a few items and got Mexican cokes (glass bottle) too and paid about $40.”

“This place is a bit hot for eating in probably due to all the ovens, so we did take out.
First time at a Mountain Mike's, a friend with us told us about it since we were visiting. Sat there waiting after ordering for something like 40 minutes before we went up and asked for ETA. They had just put our order under the heat lamp despite us sitting right across from the registers the entire time and never being called? Not sure if the lady who took our order was annoyed at me/us in particular because we saw at least two orders after us go by without the same hitch.
Friend said he'd never been to this particular store, so it could just be a one off at this location. To be fair, the guy I asked for ETA was polite and seemed to try to make up for the wait with some extra condiments.
Also, worth a shout-out to a lighter-haired lady working there who was really considerate, asking if we needed the restroom as we headed back towards to check out the arcade before she closed them (for cleaning?). Later, since I had a lot of time waiting, I noticed she seemed to be almost enthusiastically engaged in her various tasks during my time there.
The pizza itself was standard and decent with reasonably generous toppings but also with a much heftier price tag (a bit more than 3x the price for a similar size) than say another chain like Domino's (for self take out). They do taste different, so to each their own.”

I understand things happens but I can't work like jualiana said. I wish someone can return my money back because guess what? I want to get another mountain Mike's pizza?”

You do literally squeeze in and its always a bit noisy. The sounds of amazing people enjoying life. Just dont do as I did and drink mimosas before breakfast or you will break very fast. My sister tripped over the same stone. What im trying to say is that a couple mimosas got this liquor drinker drunk, soaked, like a donut left too long in a cup of milk to where it disintegrates.”
