This is a great diner/restaurant. Everyone is always friendly, and some of the staff have been there since I started going there with my grandparents when I was just seven years old. Over 40 years ago it was called the Peach Tree. I still go back with my family now, not just for the memories, but because the food is really good. The chicken fried steak and eggs with hashbrowns is an amazing plate, I would definitely recommend! The biscuits and gravy are amazing. The vibe is old-school diner. I read reviews on here that say the place has a weird smell and there are bugs. I've been going there for over 40 years and I can guarantee you I've never smelled any weird smells and I've never seen any bugs. I would definitely recommend this place, and so would my family generation before me. Thanks for the great service! read more

Horrible experience. Came her for breakfast with the family. We waited over 15 minutes to place our order after receiving drinks. Then they come back because they don't have some of the things that we ordered. We asked for them just to cancel it and they still made us pay $15 for drinks that we didn't even get to drink coffee. The coffee was too hot to even drink before we had to leave. 15$ for an orange juice , undrank coffee and kids sprite. We will not be returning, especially after the rude customer service read more

Always a great meal and some of the best staff around! You can consistently come into My Garden Cafe any day of the week and get the same amazing meals! I know because for years my Dad and I have been coming to this restaurant because we f the food and service! The coffee is good too. Lots of free and safe parking, easy location to find and anyone in the family can find something on this menu for their dining experience read more

We've been coming to a few of the My Gardens for some years now. Yet we Love the Ceres one the best!!! They're amazing wait and cook staff; for returning customers, they're good at remembering your favorite orders. It's relatively relaxing to eat and have a good conversation. We even drive out of our way to have breakfast or lunch here from home. read more

I will always come to see them and by now they know my order on drink but food sometimes change up.but it's always great. read more

We were in the area visiting and decided to order delivery from My Garden Cafe. Our food delivery was hot and fast. We ordered a variety of items to share... Chorizo omelette Maple pecan waffle Turkey melt Club sandwich Bacon and eggs and a few cups of hot coffee. All of which were pretty tasty, especially considering it was food delivery! I'm sure in house dining is even better. Maybe during our next visit. We shall see. read more

First off, I have eaten at many My Garden Cafe, our favorite is the one in Sonora with Turlock coming in second, and the Modesto one on Tully Rd, right behind. The food is excellent, each restaurant we found to be clean and the service superb. So this rating is for the one who absolutely was the worst one of all... the My Garden Cafe located inside the car wash on Oakdale Road in Modesto. Don't go there unless you absolutely have no choice, and then reconsider it! Dirty throughout, tables, chairs, benches, floors... nobody seen cleaning the tables or floors while we were there. The service was just ok, at its best. Nothing like the service we get at the other My Garden Cafes. I would imagine a good reason is the place is usually filled with people waiting for their cars to be washed and decide upon breakfast or something else. Not a lot of help, and they are trying hard to keep up to the demands of the customers. The food was ok, a bit on the cold side, as I imagine it was ready long before the servers could find the time to do all the other work needed to run that place. I guarantee you we won't be back to this location. I really wish the management who own the My Garden Cafe would drop in announced and just settle down to breakfast, see for themselves how this location is putting a bad name on a good restaurant chain. read more

Impressed! Ordered to go. First timers and I'll be coming back.I was going into this thinking this food is gonna be whatever but it was better than I thought! I Apologize in advance for grammer, typing on the smart phone isn't fun so I'll keep this short. Chicken fried stake: crispy, flavorful, good portion. Usually not satisfied at other café's but this one hit the spot! Steak and eggs: the steak was over cook, we asked for medium and got well done, forgot to ask for it med rare, it would have came out perfect, next time! Eggs were as for medium but they came easy, easy fix though no big deal there. Hashbrowns were cooked perfectly and they even had an option for tots which were also nice and crispy! If you're scrolling through Yelp looking for a spot in Ceres, make sure you give these guys a try. Old time feel with friendly staff. read more

My son had breakfast with toast and got a bug on his plate! When told about this, the waitress said she'd adjust the bill and only took off the toast! I quit going there a year ago for other reasons but now I'm done. My senior sandwich & fries was good, but bugs? No ty read more

I haven't heard anything bad about this place. It's a traditional American diner style restaurant that serves breakfast and lunch. Open from 6-2. They have a lot of choices and six other locations so I can always find one pretty close to wherever I am. I have never had strawberry jam as good as My garden Cafe and the boysenberry is almost just as good but strawberry has always been my favorite so I might be biased. read more

Food and service is very good. However the staff especially the cooks talk WAY too loud . I can hear them better than the person sitting across the table. Also the servers talk loud about their personal lives when they are restocking the table items. I feel this takes away from an enjoyable experience. read more

Was looking for something to eat on our way out of Modesto and found a gem at My Garden Cafe! Such a cute, quaint breakfast joint with a full menu and incredible wait staff. Definitely a place to visit if you're passing through or visiting! read more

I love coming to this place. Food is amazing as always. Service is great. weekends Are a little busy but that's just because the food and service is great. however when I recently have come on the weekends the younger hostess staff aren't as persistent. I do have my favorites but definitely have no problems coming during the week. It's usually one hostess during the week days and she's amazing, super sweet Always smiling. read more

Not the first My Garden Café; I have eaten at a Modesto location. Many menu choices, good sized portions and a friendly staff. Fortunately I am not a large person, or I would not have fit into the tiny booth! Looking around the restaurant, the other diners were either families with young children or elderly couples -- two groups that know a good value! read more

I love the Ripon location. And On Tully. My first time here and I had to give back my food. We ordered two salads and they were brown. And bitter and sour. The young man was very rude that was cleaning tables. Over all I'm upset at the service and quality. read more

First time here. Excellent customer service. Patty was my server. Thank you Patty for taking such good care of me. Juan was the cook. Delicious breakfast Juan. It was a simple breakfast. I wanted to try their EARLY BIRD breakfast special. I started with a cup of coffee. My breakfast was served promptly, pancakes, tater tots and 2 eggs over easy. It was delicious. Next time I will also order bacon and or sausages. The restaurant has a local feel. The ambience is relaxed. The staff seem to treat everyone kindly and were accommodating. They are very hospitable.. I definitely will have breakfast here again. The ambience is one of an old school Diner. You can tell it's the locals that frequent this establishment. read more

Really good food, customer service was great. I had the banana nut pancakes and they were great. For sure I will be back.

Ordered for takeout when I got there I received my order was not complete it was the country omelette it's supposed to have country style gravy, it had no gravy. I requested no onions it was loaded with onions. They offered to make it right, we drove back for new meals and it tasted terrible. The omelette was rubbery the hashbrowns were hard like sticks. read more

I was in about a month ago, only just got around to review I've been busy. So when ever I go out for breakfast I look for cornbeef hash and give it a try. I was very pleased! The corndbeef was made fresh super tender and moist!! I loved it I would give 10 stars if I could!! Gotta go back for lunch and see what flavors that brings! read more

While it's a cute & charming restaurant, the food was not great. Waited patiently too long. Could hear the waitress rudely talk to the cooks. We ordered French toast for my son, it was rubbery yet soggy.. our waffles were soggy from the defrosted strawberries. I feel like our food was left out & forgotten before it was given to us. Not sure. Service wasn't great either. The hostess/cashier was very friendly At least. Won't be coming back. read more

2 stars for good and fast food. But this place lacks personality. When I first walked in I was greeted with a half smile. Then the lady just went about her business and waited for someone else to seat me. After my food came, she immediately gave me my check. Never onced asked if everything is going well. Nothing. Wont ever come back. read more

I just don't get this place. It has all the makings for a great diner but it's just lacking something. I've been coming here off and on for years with co-workers. Every time I decide to go here I am disappointed. This last time my friend and I went and they sat us at a table with full on sun. I could only take it for a few minutes when I told the waitress I'd like to move. We moved over one booth and that was fine. I ordered the cobb salad and when it came it was missing the avocado. I asked the waitress and she said they were out. If I had known that when I ordered it I might have ordered something else. The ranch is watered down. Like, a lot. There's a lot to be said for good salad dressing. The rest of the salad was ok (and they have good bacon I have to give them credit there). I think maybe it was supposed to come with a slice of bread but I didn't get any if it was. I've ordered several other things off the menu and everything just seems to be lacking that extra spice or something. Just kind of bland. read more

Food is unfortunately overpriced, not great, and service was horribly slow, we were waited on and then never received our refills!

So , I watch my waitress grab my bread place it in the toaster walk over to the cash register ring up a customer touching his nasty credit card, cash register and calculator then walk over with no gloves grab my toast and give it to me read more

I am giving it another review only because I haven't been there in months and this morning I've got to say went better than other times. There's 2 new girls I have never seen and they are very attentive and nice. Food came out in a timely manner and everything was good. I give it the 2 extra stars because of the new waitresses giving the fact that the staff rudeness was the main problem. Great job to the 2 new ladies! I don't mind stopping by now and then if they are there. read more
