The food is really good and every time I come in the service is great. One of Modesto's best spots for burgers and diner food.

This burger place has lots of potential but I am only giving 2 star today because i tried this place twice and am my experience has gone from OK to Meh. First try was during afternoon when there was no crowd. I asked the cashier what the house specialty was, to her it was the bacon cheeseburger with grilled onion. Sounded good, my reply "I'll take it!" What I got was good except the onions weren't grilled. Because my order was to go I couldn't ask for a change and I also took responsibility for not being more specific. The single burger was a little overpowered by the large bun and so I decided to give it a second try going for the double-decker bacon cheese with grilled onion. This time was just past 7 in the evening so nearly an hour before closing I phoned it in this time, when I made the order I was told 15 minute wait time. This seemed like a longer time than necessary so I thought they might be busy and gave the full 15 before my pick up. When I arrived I was the only one in the place and the burger was sitting under a lamp. That is fine but I would have liked to have been given a pick up time closer to, or before it was ready. One reason this is important in this case is because the burger was wrapped in tin foil which might be good for holding heat but also just as good at moisture retention. The bun was soggy and the cheese was stuck to the foil, a total mess! (I had to go knife and fork for this one). Finally, the to go soda cups are small and flimsy, they offer self serve soda when you are in house but for orders to go I think they would better serve customers by offering a larger sturdy cup and lid combo that may cost them more but will avoid potential spills and the need to hang out long enough to fill it twice to make it satisfying. I would gladly pay more for a large/sturdy to go cup option. I said this place had potential and have listed all my criticism. The double-decker would have been awesome wrapped in paper and if I had got to them 5 minutes earlier. I like the decor, music, Shake options and the claim of never frozen beef patties. The addition of BGB to Modesto is still apparently going through debugging and maybe some staff refinement but I see reviews here from August. If BGB doesn't get it figured out by....like, yesterday! they are sacrificing tons of customer repeat business that is being lost by poor first and second impressions. This area is underwhelmed with "great burger" restaurants and BGB could secure a profitable place here if they could nail this. I would be happy to wait longer prep times and endure some other shortcomings as long as it doesn't affect the quality and consistency of the product. I hope they can get it right soon. My patronage won't endure another disappointment. read more

The burgers here are huge and delicious. Our kids choose Bob's burgers over any other place when we're in the mood for burgers and fries! And the family box of fries-good deal for the amount of fries!! Also, great packaging for door dash orders! read more

Read awhile ago that the original Bobs moved to Modesto but didn't get around to trying it until today. Man, it's definitely different from what I remember. Patties are frozen, flavor was underwhelming and they charged me 75 cents for Hidden Valley ranch. I suggest sticking to their garlic fries which are amazing; full of flavor and not very greasy. It was a stark difference from the juicy, flavorful burgers I loved at their other location. Super disappointed, won't be back unfortunately. read more

As with other reviews, the first time I was here was going to be the last since their burgers were nothing at all to write home about even though their price was indicative of how proud they were of them. Luckily, my wife and her friend went their and absolutely loved it. She got the Blue Cheese burger and was obsessed for some time. Admittedly, it's quite delicious, and the employees there are great... always very nice and happy to accommodate. I get the feeling they are truly grateful for the business they get, which is truly a break from the norm these days of COVID where it seems at most places we are doing them a disservice by ordering from them (read: El Rosal on Coffee). Thankfully this place is so close to home. Good job Bob's. read more

I got the double cheese burger with fries and a pineapple/banana shake. The Burger was actually really good. Filled me up for the day. Service was also on point. A spot that I'm looking forward to visiting again. read more

Loved the food great find! It is super cute inside give it a try u will love it! They let my daughter get 2 different scoops of ice cream. They make all the food to order and it looks like a soda shop inside! read more

There is nothing giant about Bob's Giant Burger, except for the bill. A burger combo is in the vicinity of $11.00. I think it might have been a 1/4 burger, but I don't remember. The burgers are good, but nothing special. The fries are good, hot and plentiful. So why 2 stars? It's because I won't go back. The reason is the price. I would go back, if they dropped their prices, a lot. If the price were decent, I would give it 3 stars, which means I would go back if I were nearby and craved a burger, but I would still not recommend this place to anyone. read more

Easily my favorite burger spot. Fresh quality products and reasonable prices keep me coming back. If you ever went to the one in Fremont, it will taste just like you remember. Come in with a large appetite if you dare try the Double Decker burgers. read more

Gigantic Burger wow as good as i remembered when thy were in Modesto 30 years ago. Come and see for your self. read more

This place is exactly what I remember! my sister worked there when it was in Newark ca , and was happy to eat there again today! Awesome place can't wait to go back. A+ read more

Not impressed, just another hamburger joint in Modesto. We ordered burgers and fries for 2 people and it was $32. We ordered to eat in and was given our drinks. We waited 30 minutes for our burgers because the kid that took our order thought it was to go. They had to remake our fries and rings because they sat. read more

Blah, nothing to write home about. Friendly service but mediocre food, don't try to sell me an "old fashioned burger" "quality" with crap ranch from a bottle! Nothing that differs them from all the lquality of burgers from other joints, same frozen patties made who knows where. read more

This restaurant is filthy. Two customers and it took a long time to fry the frozen onion rings...Dirty hygiene allaround.

Great bacon Bleu cheese burger. French fries were nice and hot. Our favorite burger joint!

If I could give more stars, I would. Burgers were great!! We also got a box of garlic fries that were amazing. Will be coming back!!!

This place is INCREDIBLE!!! Their food is fantastic, super fresh, HUGE portions, great prices, and their staff is so sweet and wonderful! Amazing service from everyone, always! Also, if you love Carl's Jr.'s western bacon cheeseburger then try theirs because it's a MILLION times better! Absolutely in love with this place! read more

Last night was my first visit. The sign outside said: Football Deal, 4 burgers and family fry for $22.00. The burgers were quarter pounders. Cheese and bacon extra. When our burgers arrived, they were fresh off the grill. The fries were a few minutes behind. When they did arrive, it was a very large amount, pipping hot, and salted just right. The burger was filling and tasty. Thousand island, onion and shredded lettuce top the patty. The fries were the best part. Big, golden, just right. The foot ball deal should include drinks. That would have made it even better. The onion rings are large and golden as well. read more

I had some takeout from Bob's Giant Burger today. It was my first time here. Very tasty. The chili fries were great and they went out of their way to make a lettuce wrap burger (protein style) for me. They were kind. I asked for a lot of lettuce because other places sub one thin leaf of lettuce for each side of the bun. Well, they didn't disappoint here. Thanks for the extra effort and the extra lettuce. My wife and son really enjoyed their burgers and garlic fries. read more

As a life long visitor of Bob's Giant Burger, I was so EXCITED to see them come to Modesto. Growing up in San Jose, we went to the one in Newark then Fremont. We moved to the Central Valley (Manteca) five years ago and would try to hit Fremont's location as much as we could as we would travel back to San Jose frequently (and sometimes just make the hour drive to get their delicious food!) I was nervous that the Modesto one may not be the same... so often recipes and quality change over time. Nope!!!! Same amazing burger and heavenly box of fries! They have kept the same Bobs magic I've grown up on! So excited to have them so close by now. Prices are not unreasonable- especially for a family run business. High quality and fantastic service also make it so worth it! Thanks, Bobs, for moving out to the Central Valley!!! SO happy to see your business still thriving. read more

Saw the new location DT modesto and wanted to try. Small inside.. little messy but might have been after a rush. It's a burger joint so I did not expect interior to be perfect or really care. Mostly cared about the burger. Double bacon burger... and It was huge!!! Thick crispy bacon, American cheese over two flat top burgers. Was seriously really good. Put me in a food coma. Only suggestion... get a mini fridge or something for the beers. Ice bucket not that cooo. 5 stars bc burgers are what they do and they are read more

Best Garlic Fries In Modesto! I really like this place for its garlic fries as I think they have the best in the Modesto/Central Valley area. This location is in a downtown shopping plaza (with a Smart and Final and Starbucks), so pretty convenient with plenty of parking. The burger I ordered was good, definitely a step up from McDonalds as it is cooked to order. But again, the highlight for me was the garlic fries. It had plenty of chopped up garlic, and because the fries were made to order, it was fresh and hot and tasted really good! read more

Good food, pricey but what got me was the unprofessionalism. As I was ordering, a customer came in and stated that she did not get her fries and left work to come back, the cashier yelled at the cook who swore she gave her fries, they argued for a minute or two. Also, the cashier did not know how to work the atm card slider so I showed her, though seemed iritated by it. If you are going to charge that much for fast food and not to be waited on, your customer service needs to be on point, no excuses. Also, there were only 3 customers so it's not like they were busy. 2 chili dogs and 2 garlic fries were around $23. Too bad because I wanted to love them since I live within walking distance. read more

Delicious food, fun vibe and music. Had a hard time finding it but i called in - it's in the smart and final shopping center. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger, onion rings and root beer float. The manager is very nice, she gave me the 20% check in offer after i already paid and saw it while I was waiting for my food. I was glad about this because it's not cheap but it is quality food. read more

This place was dirty, for being a new store and over priced. They had milk sitting next to heat lamps. And the soda dispenser tasted like chemicals. read more

I've always loved Bob's in the Bay Area and so excited they came to Modesto. Was so good!! Will definitely come back!

Sorry..to let the workers know but my experience with u is not good, I didn't take the time to ck Yelp because I lived in Fremont & hv gone to eat at Bob's. Always left with good vibes on the food & the people. But somehow everything at this joint got messed up. For the prices u charge & the competition u up against at this point u r in bad shape! My simple order took too long. My order was too expensive. My order when I got it was incorrect & I had to hv the cook, which I found out was the mother of the manager, Megan (who by the way was the one adding the trimming to the burgers)!! When I got burgers hm they were OVERCOOKED to the point of being dry out! This meal was for 3 persons..they were not impress!!! Threw it out. Went to SNOWWHITES..on Yosemite..excellent burger combos. read more

I found this gem while googling through Yelp. By far one of the best burger places that I ever found. I got the bacon jalapeño burger and it was delicious. The fries were fresh and the burger was cooked to perfection. Definitely a 10/10. read more

Are you hungry enough to eat a nothing-healthy-about-it big-as-your-head cheeseburger? This is your place. Good old greasy American diner food. Garlic fries are extra, extra garlic-eriffic and you will wish you had brought a larger straw to suck that milkshake down even faster. read more

Been wanting to try this place out. I loved the location and the atmosphere was great. I just got a cheese burger and it was good! Kinda tasted like In n Out burger which is not a bad thing. Would recommend read more

This is our new favorite burger joint!! The food is delicious and the customer service is fantastic! The cashier, servers, and cooks were all very attentive. Every time an employee walked by our booth, they checked in on us. I went with my mom for lunch on a weekday and brought my three teenage sons back the next Saturday night. My oldest said he liked it even more than In N' Out! read more

Very good burgers! Took my father out for lunch and he loves a big sized burger with a lot of meat. He got the double decker special and was very pleased. Will come again!! read more

I went here on the second or third day it was open. It was a little hectic behind the counter, but totally understandable. The nice girl behind the counter took my order and said it would 15 minutes. It actually was 10 minutes. The cheeseburger was tasty, the fries were crispy .. it was perfect. I paid $12 for burger, fries and soda. Maybe a little high, but it's a local business. So I don't mind. I will be coming back. read more

Great local restaurant! Hamburgers are top notch! Orders are taken and completed quickly and staff has great customer service. One of my new favorite spots in Modesto. read more

This burger place was my favorite when I lived in Fremont. It is now my favorite in Modesto . Real fresh , good service. read more

Bob's Giant Burger - Burgers Near Me - Modesto, California

Average food with huge prices. Was reading reviews and excited to come try it out. Prices were high but if the food had lived up to it i was ready for it. Food didn't live up to the prices. Nothing poor but nothing that gave it justification for the excessive prices. read more

This place serves a great burger. Nice, thick bacon, lots of gooey cheese, grilled onions. Well done Bob!!!

Been coming here since it opened, and always happy with my experience. I love the look of the inside, that 50s diner vibe, and the burgers and fries are super yummy Go check it out! read more

Very good burgers, but OMG the garlic fries are delicious! Cool 50s vibe joint, malt shop music playing. Loved it!

I'm giving five stars for the garlic fries (which are amazing), and the fact that when I asked for ranch dressing, they gave me a gigantic squeeze bottle full. The bacon cheeseburger was solid. Very good bacon, but I prefer a thicker patty. Will definitely be back for the garlic fries. read more
