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

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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!

For this visit, we had a very friendly server who would check in and every once in a while and everything ran smoothly during the ordering process. Me and my fiancé ordered the Brewhouse Bites Sampler which we both thought was amazing. And then we ordered our entrees: I got the Crispy Jalapeño Burger with sweet potato fries, got the burger well done and asked the server if I could get the onions grilled or cooked due to currently being pregnant; which I mentioned. My fiancé got Tri-Tip Medium well with Shrimp Scampi, Asparagus and Rice. While waiting for our food our server was accompanied by another server and she passed along that she'd be switching places with the server due to heading home and we appreciated that; the new girl was friendly as-well. 20-30 minutes pass and we get our food. Right away food looked great. Although, the onions were not cooked, they were raw; I put them to the side. And my fiancé's Tri-Tip was not Medium Well it was tough and well done; my burger was well done. The Shrimp Scampi only had 5 pieces of shrimp. And I tried my sweet potato fries and they were overly salty like someone had poured the whole salt shaker on the fries. My fiancé also tried them and couldn't eat them either, we both tried to take the salt off and they were extremely salty. We left feeling hungry. I'd recommend if any of you go to a Brewhouse and want to get full, go to the Brass Tap. There's an amazing atmosphere there and doesn't feel as cramped as BJ's seating is.

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!

Unfortunately the bread was not edible due to the taste of old grease. I simply discarded the bread and ate the 2 piece of turkey and bits of bacon. My son enjoyed the Tri-itip, but again the grilled bread tasted of old grease. He enjoyed the fries as well. The service was good and the atmosphere was pleasant, but at these prices, and the taste of old grease from the grill, I could not recommend this restaurant. The bill was $39.97 and we did not have anything to drink! Go democrats! Lol!

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 "hamburger" was clearly made from frozen patties with no flavor or effort put into it. To make things worse, the waitress tried to charge me an extra $10 that wasn't even supposed to be on the bill. When I questioned it, the attitude was dismissive instead of apologetic. Bad food and questionable service -- definitely not worth the money.
