    I usually don't write reviews anymore but had to write one for these terrible wings. I waited 20 min for this garlic parmesan wings...this was the worst wings I've ever had in my life. I threw that whole basket away after 2 bites cuz it was that disgusting.

    A quick review for $$ now and in the future $$$$ especially all my friends and win Modesto!

    The Service was good until one of the employees stopped serving me after TWO BEERS, as well as my friends. We don't know what went wrong, we were trying to celebrate a friend we lost and have a few beers and talk about his life we shared. UFC night happened to be on with a lot of people, but you couldn't mix us up cause we all had matching t-shirts.

    I've been coming here a few times alone the last week or so. I had the sweet potato fries and they were really good. I think her name is Toni? She is very nice and my drinks were good. All of the bartenders are really nice. The security guards are nice. Good place for a drink .

    Came here after some shopping in the area and the place did not disappoint! You walk in and the bar length is huge. Like a gazillion people could sit at the bar. Staff and owners were friendly. Coors light on tap was a major bonus. Food choices are amazing. Everything for anyone. Keto/low carb options also on the menu. We will be back for sure!

    Hamburger, fries and chicken strips and fries.

    The food is good. The smallest hamburger is big. Tasty fresh. The fries are really good and the ranch dressing is perfect side. My son had the chicken strips and fries and really enjoyed them. The service was good. The ambiance is nice for a sports bar and lounge.

    Had lunch here today. Last time here I got a checked sandwich which was great. Today I got the "Bookie Big Burger" Bacon Cheese burger. Asked for medium on the burger, cooked perfectly. Bacon was crispy overall great flavor. Waitress was attentive and nice. There chicken wings looked good, next time!

    There are specials so that is a plus. Service is so so on a Saturday afternoon. Lots of televisions but no game sound. There is outdoor seating so dog friendly. Lots to appreciate here but don't expect the service with a smile.

    Seriously the best shrimp tacos I've had in Modesto! Cooked perfectly each time! The gals are friendly & fun. They make you feel welcome. Great selection of IPA beers. Love that they have an outside area so I can take my best furry friend with me. They always ask if she needs a bowl of water. I suggested they get doggie treats... No pretense...just show up as you are.... get some good food and have a cold beer. The fish n chips are yummy too! The Homemade slaw and tartar sauce.....Made me sooo happy! P Wexford's is a choice, slaw OR fries. No choice here to make and the slaw is also the BEST I've had in town. Not sweet and mayonnaisey like most. The Only thing I would love to see is a substitute option for burgers like: veggie Spicey black bean patty or veggie patty. Can't wait to go back!

    Drinks!

    See all

    This place is good for drinks but not food, waited 2 hours for a burger that never came out. Questionable clientele, would not return.

My party was seated fairly quickly. Our waitress took all our orders by memory - we were a party of 8! I got the Chicken Marsala: Chicken, sauce, mixed veggies, mashed potatoes, and gravy. I started off with the mixed veggies - they were cooked soft, just how I like them. They were also flavorful! Not just regular ole steamed frozen veggies, they definitely were buttered and seasoned or something. Next, the mashed potatoes. I'm not a mashed potato connoisseur - matter of fact, I usually skip eating mashed potatoes when they're available. These mashed potatoes however were so flavorful! And it was not only the gravy doing all the talking, it was both the mash and the gravy. I was impressed! Lastly, the chicken Marsala. The chicken itself was cooked to perfection, moist on the inside & fully cooked - and with chicken breast, we all know how hard that is to accomplish. The sauce was incredible. I have never had any Marsala sauce as good as that. So much flavor, very savory. Altogether, the flavors worked together and worked perfectly. If only I wasn't an hour away, I would come here more often. I hope to be here again someday!

It was a full-on dinner-sized meal with all the comfort food goodness you want. My sandwich was good, but I think it could've used more pesto. It didn't stop me from eating the whole thing :) Parking was easy. Service was fantastic. Our water was refilled without having to ask, and the servers were attentive. Unless there's another room I didn't notice, this place is not as big as expected from the outside (or I'm just horrible with space and dimensions). That said, I can see it getting crowded during regular lunch and dinner times. We went when it opened and it was quite filled up with folks by the time we left.

    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.

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.
