    Vega pesto pasta
    Trinity G.

    Veggie and pet friendly place! What a great little spot to grab a drink, vegan eats and bring your pet to hang outside. The vegan pesto pasta was delicious! A great meetup spot for a group who loves hanging outside with their friends and pets!

    We absolutely love Mode. It is close by and delicious! It is such a cute friendly location. There's a nice outdoor area with two giant beautiful trees that provide great shade. The service is quick and the food is generally good. My recommendation for food are the chips and onion dip and the Blue bird pizza. My goodness YUM. The pizza is like a chicken cordon blue style with the most amazing flavors- you don't even need a sauce to dip it in, and I'm a sauce girl. Very impressive! I also highly recommend the chips and onion dip. Wow it is GOOD! They have lots of other options for food too. Sometimes we get the fried artichoke, but it's been a little thick with the breading lately. If you can ask for lightly battered, I would do that. Also, bring back the fried asparagus! Yum! My two favorite beers are the blueberry and bushwhacker. They do serve wine and a few ciders and have sodas and water. Yum yum yum. Come here for good food, delicious beer and a relaxing atmosphere.

    I went for the first time and it was a pretty nice place! Very nice customer service and clean place! They can make a vegan option of almost everything on the menu. Look for items with the They also have gluten free if you require that! I tried the Fettuccine Alfredo and they have some Polenta Fries that I really liked! There is an outside area in the back that is quite spacious and has a nice vibe. One of the most interesting things was there was some type of flash bingo game going on which involved playing samples of popular one hit wonders, which I enjoyed guessing. I definitely plan to go back!

    Mode Brewing is a total vibe! This family owned business gives true meaning about the family that cooks together... You want to try Mode. You need to try Mode. This has become my fun hangout spot with friends, family, and it's a fun date night spot. What was a food truck, it's now all grown up into a cool restaurant. The interior has the cool side of the food truck as part of the interior. On one side, the brother (Jeff) is brewing up some tasty craft beer ! He knows his brew! The sister and BIL, (Randy & Tracy) along with "mom", are cooking up some delicious food. You'll want to order it all. Just do it! Everything is seriously tasty! Short rib ragu. This is a sin that it tastes so good. Pasta. Short ribs. Sauce. Mix that all together, and you won't want to leave. The Italian stallion. It tastes as good as it sounds. It's meaty. It's cheesy. It is perfection. Because dessert is a must... you will want Nana's balls. Mom knows dessert, and these fried ice cream balls will make you wonder why your mom didn't create these. Order 4. One isn't enough. Even if you're full. Craft beer. Good good. Good desserts. This is the place to try!

    I love delicious beer and vegan food, so put those two things together under the same roof and this is definitely a brewery I can get behind. As someone who doesn't worship at the altar of the IPA, it was so refreshing to see a variety of beers that included maltier styles as well. Of the dozen taps available when I visited, I tried the Globetrotter (Oktoberfest) and Pioneer (American brown ale) and enjoyed them both. The food at Mode is casual American-Italian. Small personal pizzas, paninis, and pasta dishes. I first learned of Mode during last year's Sacramento Vegan Chef Challenge, so was happy to see that they still had many vegan options on the menu. The vegan polenta fries were perfectly crispy, well-seasoned, and came with ample dipping sauces - I would definitely get those again to share. The vegan Great White pizzetta was fantastic! I'm picky about a sourdough crust and this one was spot on, as were the toppings. I highly recommend trying it. You might drive right past this spot and miss it, but don't be fooled by the little parking lot out front (there's a huge area behind the building). Inside is small, but the dog-friendly patio out back is where it's at. Several shaded tables make this an ideal spot for groups too. There's even a water feature - a large koi pond with water flowing through repurposed keg taps. Clever. I also liked how you could run a tab that was connected to both ordering food from the kitchen and ordering beer from the brewery, which are on opposite sides of the building. It's a smart set up and keeps the wait time to a minimum. I'll definitely be back for more of their beer (hellooooo Pumpkin Ale) and vegan food options. Check them out!

    I was glad to see that they had other styles represented besides IPA: amber, brown ale, Oktoberfest. I enjoyed the latter two! The food was pretty decent! They had a number of tasty selections on the menu. Things are made fresh to order and are served up piping hot. The Vampire Slayer (garlicked) cheese pizza, in particular, is novelty cut in tiny squares so sharing around as appetizer bites is easy. The front of the brew pub is small, but once inside, you can see the spacious patio area out back. There are several/many wood picnic tables spaced apart with a nice water fountain feature central to the space. It's a good place for groups to meet up. This was my first visit, but definitely not my last. The combination of good beers AND good eats make returning here a no-brainer. Note: they close at 7pm on Sundays.

    The food was really tasty. They have a great gluten free menu and nice selection of beers and ciders on tap. The guy was super cool. The outside area was a great place to enjoy a meal and you can bring your pup!

    Our go to place! We keep bringing friends and one by one they all become addicted to Mode. Super kids friendly, easy to sit back and relax, food is excellent!! I have zero complaints!

    What a great local brewery. There is a parking lot in front of the business and we were greeted right away. There is a small area for seating inside and a nice outside area where you can bring your dog. They also offer food so we ordered some food and beer. We got a couple of the pizzas and they were yummy. We got the Hog Wild and Vampire Slayer. The owners are so nice and we were talking about their beers and the food. We also appreciated they offer Nitty's Cider which is also good. I really enjoyed the Swashbuckler and the Pumpkin ale. We really enjoyed talking with a couple of the owners and you can see they are passionate about their beer and brewery. We bought a couple of t-shirts also as we liked the logo and QR code. Outside were many tables and corn hole was available. There is also a well with fish in there. Stop by and check it out. You won't be disappointed.

I…read morecame here for my cousin's graduation party, and while I didn't eat anything myself, I did get a couple drinks. The bar staff was amazing. I was torn between two drinks, and the bartender was super sweet, she let me sample both and even offered a third based on what I told her I liked. I wish I remembered what it was called, but her recommendation was on point: super fresh, great flavor, and exactly what I didn't know I needed. The food looked solid from what I saw others eating, so I definitely want to come back and actually try it next time. The back patio was also a whole vibe! Lots of seating, games, and great energy. It was freezing the night we were there, but the big fire pits made it totally bearable. I can only imagine how fun this place is in the summertime. Hanging out here with friends on a warm night? Definitely on my list.

    Really appreciating a lot of the updates with a new perspective coming in from management after…read moreavoiding this place for awhile. Definitely liking the food menu and having happy hour pricing. Big wins there. However, I'm going to throw out a complaint that throws off the vibe and why I only tip 10%. This switch to funneled counter service creates a disconnected experience where the servers and bartenders don't seem to matter. You stand in a long line that takes forever to get through. Beers aren't even listed on the overhead monitors. You feel rushed to put in your order because you're aware of everyone who is waiting behind you. Get your food, put your buzzer on a table. Someone shows up with it. When you need a drink, you have to get up and navigate a line, again. Again, I'm tipping 10% for that at most. This is counter service. If I have to get up, stand in line and get my own drinks? Not a premium experience. But the prices here? It feels really disconnected. You're charging $10 for a beer? I have to get up and stand in line to get one... It all just looks like and feels like someone who designed this workflow hasn't been in the service industry. Too many awkward disconnection points and a lack of continuity. Imagine you went to a bar with 5,000 sqft and everyone was funneled into a line with two registers. There are 30+ taps. They're charging a premium for food and beverage. It's a great space. Food is good. Staff is fine. But the vibe is just off. The story arc when you walk in to when you leave feels weird. Like a top-down edict from management trying to force patrons into an unnatural workflow trying to improve one part of the business while compromising 7 others, losing whatever soul in the process. And the tap selection is lazy. I'll update my review if the vibe changes. It's just painful to see such a great space so awkwardly used. It even mostly works until the execution falls flat. I mean, imagine having a drink and knowing you're going to have to wait 20 minutes in a line to get another one on a lazy Sunday afternoon. It's... weird. It's 2-stars weird. Someone thought this was a good idea?

When one leaves Indiana for California, you take advantage of the weather when the opportunity arises. And it was a beautiful day, so the search for outdoor dining led us to Tonno's Sports Bar and Grill. We aren't big drinkers, but everyone knows that sports bars have great food, and several reviews raved about their burgers. We arrived a bit after noon on a Saturday, and there were several people inside doing a specialty 'breakfast shot' which was whiskey and bacon or some such. If that's your thing, this seems to be the place to be. We selected a table outside in a nice area with both sun and shade. There were kids in this area too, so it's obviously not 21+ like most places in Indiana. They were a big crazy (young, running, loud) but not enough to bother us or others around us. The parents were probably doing the breakfast shots LOL. I ordered the cheeseburger with added bacon plus tater tots. The tots were oversized and delish. Think of the taste of a McDonald's hash brown but in bite size form. The burger was great too, believe it was a full half pound burger. Wife ordered the BLT and loved it. Her fries were good, but nothing special. Ordering takes place at the bar, and they give you a number for your table. Service was quick and I went inside for three refills on my soft drink. They didn't give me a dirty look, so it must not bother them. We stayed for nearly 3 hours just enjoying the weather, eating our food, and reading books while we waited for afternoon activities that were scheduled for our team. A good experience, would return if in the area.

I've watched many people seat themselves at tables and leave 10 minutes later because no one asked them what they wanted. Yes, the decor is stuck in the 90's, but I actually like it.

It tasted way better than Fleming's Prime Steakhouse burger I had last week, that's for sure. The thick steak-cut fries are awesome, too. Over salted but nothing a cold beer can't cut through. Highly recommend their smash burger.

If it wasn't for this "mission," there's a good chance I wouldn't have wandered in. I LOVE Sutter Street, but honestly I don't live nearby and don't have many reasons to come here. That said, I'm thankful for the mission and glad I dropped by. It's a super cute place and the bartender had a nice relaxed chill vibe to her. This is where I'd normally drop her name and give her kudos - but I didn't get her name. I thought her name would be on the receipt, but it wasn't! I assume her name isn't "Shift Night N" anyway, which would be weird - but that's what is listed for "server". Anyway... the burger... I liked it. I liked it a lot. I was not asked how I wanted it cooked (not expected or demanded by me) - but an observation that I toss in for comparison purposes. It was cooked to a solid medium, which is fine with me. Caramelized onions were standard - nice - but the tomato and lettuce were listed as 'optional' - and the bartender (Shift Night N) asked me if I wanted them. I opted in. The bun was above average - definitely a notch above the typical mass-produced buns often used elsewhere. I opted for sweet potato fries. They had good flavor. Personal preference-wise... I would have liked them to be cooked a smidge more. If/when I come back, I'll probably ask them to be crispy-er. Overall, thumbs up! I wouldn't hesitate to come back and try other things on the menu. #burgers
