What a great find in Modesto. We were traveling through the area & had a chance to stop in during…read morethe week. Location: The location is pretty cool. They have their own parking lot with plenty of parking & a large warehouse venue that appears to host different events. It was clean & well organized. The bathroom was clean & well stocked. Beer: They had about 13 different beers on tap, all proprietary brews. We normally stick with IPAs but did try a very nice stout based on the recommendation of one of the regulars. The IPAs were a perfect blend of crisp & hoppy. They had cans to go as well. Customer Service: We had an opportunity to meet the brewmaster, Jonas. He couldn't have been more friendly & welcoming. When we asked for a can label to take home as a souvenir, he enthusiastically gave us 5 different labels to take with us. Food: There was a sign outside that said we could get a free appetizer with the purchase of a pint. Sure enough, we ended up with 2 very tasty street tacos from the food vendor. I highly recommend coming in & supporting your local brewery. Look for the parrot mural on the side of the building-- hard to miss!

Great selection of beer, just a couple of IPA's which was fine with my group since we aren't fans. Their Mexican lager and blonde were YUM and the others we tried were exceptional good. They had a plethora of games on hand for all ages and we met the owners and their cutest pooch ever! They are very welcoming, friendly, and their son is the brew master so it was fun to see him in action while he was tending to the tanks pfrom time to time. The only reason why I knocked off one star is and it just may be us be we love to eat while drinking. They did have a selection of chips and pretzels but it would be great to add peanuts, popcorn, and maybe even some candy but ultimately man if they had wings, fries, and veges with ranch dressing, BOMB!!!!! We will be back nevertheless.

Hey Dusty, My…read morefriends and I are glad to have found you. In this food valley called Central Valley, it's Not as easy to find nice unique places with good food that is not too expensive. Place you take visitors and it'll be a fun experience. I tell me people most things you got are good. Fun to try new things and not have to worry if it'll be a big mistake. Some items I've tried or seen. Spicy Hawaiian Pizza - pizza is bigger than I thought and the cheese is thick and stretches! Big enough to share for sure. Didn't finish it. Jalapeño & Beer Cheese Burger - this was good. Jalapeños not that spicy, more sweet bc they are candied. Love it. And no you can't taste beer. H.O.W Burger - shredded pork, coleslaw on top of normal burger? Ironically it was the coleslaw that drew me bc I wanted something diff in my burger. It was really good. Seen friends get fish & chips, Korean chicken sandwich, PB&J. They all looked good. Even the PB&J was super fancy with real meat. Other than there always being a wait, always a pleasure to come by!

Today I took a friend out to the Twisted Pig for a meal. This review is first my impressions,…read morefollowed by his. First, we were seated promptly (outside, as the inside was full). This worked fine for us. We had our menus and drinks in a reasonable time, and had a relaxing time throughout. We both had the pulled pork sandwich along with the ice tea. I also had the cup of chili - nicely spiced). I enjoyed my sandwich (skipping the bun, as I am trying to limit carbs). My friend, whom I realized often fusses about the meals we share, was more critical. His comments were "Wrong bun, hamburger bun shoulda been an onion bun" and "How long does it take to make a sandwich?" (The wait time was totally reasonable to me.) He didn't like the potato salad (but ate it all with little time spared). He liked the meat in the sandwich, giving it a 5 out of 5. He liked the service less (I felt it was on point and just fine.) The twisted pig is a good place to eat, if it is noisy inside (as it often is) check out the patio.

Another Sunday Brunch review for 2. You could call this Big Back addition because there were no…read moretrue healthy vegetables in sight. The flavors and combinations of how they made their sauce for the brussels sprouts. The little bit of cheese, the roasting, just perfectly. Those Brussels spouts were man. Oh, man, so so good. I mean, I was surprised there were any left at the end of lunch because they were so good. Then there was the deep fried pickles. Pickles are just something that you have to either love Em or you hate Em. But deep fried pickles are just that sour taste that I just have to have. I have to have a sweet and a sour and pickles are just that for us. So we enjoyed them. They were just crispy enpugh on the outside with just a nice firm bite of the pickle, tender. And then that bitterness was really good. And then our main meal came, and there is enough food on that platter for two people to share. So if you're getting it for one, you better be a hearty guy like you gotta be a lumberjack guy to eat this all by yourself. Because this is like a platterful. There is like 6 ribs on that plate, 2 mouds of the pulled pork, 2 big huge scoops of macaroni n cheese and like a bag of those tater tots, then they drizzle, drizzle, drizzle, barbecue sauce. All over it, it was just like mouthwatering. When it hit the table. It smelled so good, it was just amazing. And then we just dove in a little bit, tried this a little bit of that, the ribs fell off the bone. It was so good. Now the restaurant is small and looks like it is a locals kinda spot so it is semi loud with sports and men chopping it up, but there were ladies sitting at various tables and a couple of families so it is semi family friendly if you dont mind the bar aspect that is bigger than the eating area in my opinion. We only seen one staff member on the floor and one behind the bar while we were there, but the service was quick and the ladies were attentive so it was a good experience. The decor needs an update and it had a 4 out of 5 vibe for me, but I rate food not people so I would go back for that.

Had an overnight work trip that had me in Modesto so I was trying to find something fun to eat…read more After a bit of research I found this place. I showed up around 7pm and I thought it might have been closed because no one was here. But they were open. I ordered a Bauer burger with the house seasoned fries. They asked how I'd like the egg cooked and the burger cooked: I asked for medium for both. Given how dead the place was, it did take a minute to get my food. The burger was ok, not worth $21. The bun fell apart very quickly which is a bit of a cardinal sin in the burger game. The bacon on the burger was not bacon strips but a bit of bacon crumble. The patty was a bit overcooked so it was dry and it wasn't seasoned so it was bland. The egg was cooked perfectly, but the aioli and the egg yolk with a disintegrated bun made for a huge mess. The fries were interesting. The house seasoned fries are not salted. So the fries were almost sweet due to the spices, but no salt. And they do not have regular table ketchup or malt vinegar. I did ask for some ketchup and they brought me their house ketchup. While not like a classic ketchup, it was actually quite good. Oh, be aware. They will charge you a 4% fee when they bring you the check (what would have happened if I'd paid with cash?). I do not see anywhere on the menu where they say their is a payment fee so that is a pretty shady business practice. Overall: meh. I think for the price point the burger should have been great, but sadly I can't say it was great or even good. I'd likely not return.

Stopped into Brethren Brewing with my parents this weekend and happened to catch their Oktoberfest -- such a fun find! The vibe is super cute and welcoming, and honestly they had me the second I saw the room full of plants. I tried the Tropical Trinity seltzer and wow -- one of the best seltzers I've ever had. So smooth, refreshing, and packed with bright flavor! What really stood out was how community-driven this place feels. I noticed there were quite a few regulars + they had activities set up for kids(crafts & games) a candy bar and ice cream, even treats for dogs! Plus, they host weekly events like Taco Tuesday and bingo nights, which I think is awesome. Definitely feels like my new go to spot for Craft Beer in Manteca!

The beer was fantastic as I had an outstanding ale with a pulled pork sandwich that was tender and juicy on a roll that was toasted as well as onion rings. Customer service by the staff was friendly and professional and sat us on this beautiful table that appeared to be of glossed over redwood which fit with what I would imagine a brewery in Sonora feeling like. I never felt out of place and I didn't go home hungry. Would highly recommend this place for any downtown visitors or people who work in the city and I thank the employees of Sonora brewing for the wonderful experience.

It's a bummer, easily a $200+ check altogether. Love trying different breweries and wasn't able to try here.
