He truly goes above and beyond to make sure every guest feels welcome and taken care of. I usually go to the Perko's on McHenry, but by far, I would rather drive 10 extra minutes just to come to Ron's location. You can tell he genuinely cares about the customers and his team. He's attentive, professional, and always checking in to make sure everything is running smoothly. It's rare to see someone so dedicated and positive, and it really makes a difference in the whole atmosphere of the restaurant. Service is always friendly and efficient when he's around, and he handles everything with such a calm and kind attitude. Managers like Ron are the reason people keep coming back. You can get great food in most places but you can't always find great service! Thanks Ron and staff for being so GREAT! Highly recommend stopping by for their great food, the great service, and exceptional experience! And try their strawberry mimosas! (Thank me later.)

We ordered: Breakfast Tots Grilled Fruit & Brie Berry lemon cheesecake waffle Coffee flight Everything was amazing. I love tater tots and adding the breakfast staples on top made it 5x better. The only thing that would knock it out of the park is some salsa. My friend enjoyed their grilled fruit and Brie. I really enjoyed the berry lemon cheesecake waffle. The waffle was light but perfectly crisped. Presentation was 10/10. Located in downtown Riverbank. Really cute downtown. Worth the detour and drive. Looking forward to coming back.

I've been here twice now -- once last August and once earlier this month -- and both times were…read moreSundays (important for the later part of this review). If you're planning a Saturday or Sunday visit you definitely want to make a reservation! Based off my first visit I would have give this place 4 stars. The drinks are delicious, the food is incredible with good portions, and everything of course looks great visually as well. The main con the first visit was that service was extremely slow and there was a drink ordered that was completely forgotten about, however they were clearly short staffed and when we did have service she was very apologetic and friendly and comped the beverage so we had no complaints. We went back this month for my birthday and while everything we did have was once again delicious, they were out of a decent portion of the menu. Off the top of my head they were out of all flavors of deviled eggs, pulled pork, tuna for the poke stack and poke bowl, risotto balls, some wines, and a couple other things I don't recall. The first couple times the waitress said something we wanted was out we didn't mind and pivoted, especially since she said those were the only items they were out of. However, it quickly became evident that was not the case. She said the reason was it was Sunday and they are only open Thursday-Sunday so they often run out of stock during the Sunday rush. Like I said earlier, the last time I was there on a Sunday there was no issue with items being unavailable, and I feel like if this is a recurring issue maybe that's something that should be looked at when ordering for the week? But I also am not in the restaurant business so who knows maybe this isn't that unusual. It was just a bummer to go for my birthday excited to try certain things, only to ultimately end up with a chicken Caesar salad (which was still good though!). There were still pros with this recent visit, again everything looked and tasted great and the service was friendly and much quicker than the previous visit. The mimosa flights are fun and there's a ton of flavors to choose from. We got a seasonal peach toast appetizer to share and it was so good. I look forward to coming back soon to give it another shot and will update once I do!

Hello!! I like to go around the Oakdale and Modesto area to review restaurants, stores, and coffee…read moreshops. I would like to start by saying AMAZING SERVICE!! The environment is welcoming, the staff is friendly, and the food and drinks are always warm, fresh, and delicious. Today there were two younger employees working. The young woman was handling orders, making coffee, and even going into the back to prepare food. She seemed pretty overwhelmed and honestly looked like she was doing the majority of the work on her own. At one point she asked her coworker for help with a customer at the front. He made the drink, but when the customer mentioned it was incorrect, he appeared frustrated. She immediately stepped in, calmly corrected the mistake, apologized to the customer, and made sure the order was done right--all while keeping a smile on her face. She answered questions easily, stayed kind and professional, and even managed to take care of what appeared to be a family member who came in, without letting it affect her work or service. She continued to apologize for the wait and stayed attentive to everyone despite being clearly very busy. Overall, the service was excellent, and her work ethic and attitude really stood out. This place really impresses me, and customer service like what she showed today will be one of the many reasons I will continue to return.

It's quite a treat, low in sugar and very satisfying. Very friendly, and helpful staff. Join online to earn points with every purchase, easy to do. They also have specials like buy one get one free. I usually buy 2 large every time, once all gone we head on over to replenish our stash, usually getting a different flavor then what we've had before. Fair warning, when specials are on, it will be crazy busy so be prepared. However, if you're going to opt for the prepacked container in the freezer you won't have to wait in line, just grab it and go directly to the counter to pay...... Viola

(It's just a little of 6 different FroYo's with chocolate syrup, all flavors of popping boba, recess peanut butter syrup, cookie dough, cheesecake pieces, and Oreos. Soooo understandably so my order is borderline absurd lol but that's just me. I love how they have SO many tart options, sweet options, and they are constantly switching it up!!! To me? No matter how full I am there is WAYS room for a sweet treat aka FroYo!!! The service is beyond great!!! The girl I always see at this location with my friend is SO sweet she gives us sample cups to test out different flavors for custom orders that might be deciding! However I almost ALWAYS know which ones I want to try without sampling them lol 9/10 they're delicious! I love this location because not only is it clean, great service, wonderful tastes, but the size difference compared to other ones I have been to really seals the deal! I will always come back to this one through and through for my dessert as it is around everything and who doesn't love some delicious Ice Cream or Fro Yo as a dessert or a refreshing sweet treat on a hot July day!!!

The regulars are treated well, but if you are new here then don't expect the same service. This was our last minute place to stop by because our favorite brunch spot had a long wait. Food was not the greatest. Service was ok. Not horrible. This place is in need of a remodel. The staff is very friendly, but unfortunately we had to constantly look for our waitress to ask for simple coffee refills, water refill, and simple things missing from order. It could've been because they were short staffed. Food also took very long to make it to the table. Once we got the food, it was cold. Our experience was not good and it could have been a bad day for them.

I had never been here before but he remembered eating here as a kid with his family and always talked about it. The parking lot was packed and there were ALOT of people inside as well as a few large parties, but we were greeted and seated as soon as we entered. Someone came over and took our drink orders while we looked at the menu, though the restaurant was busy it wasn't too loud, and we could easily have a conversation. My boyfriend ordered the Croissant Breakfast Sandwich with Hashbrowns & I ordered the Breakfast Combo #3 - their famous "baked here" French Toast, two eggs & choice of breakfast meat. I am extremely picky when it comes to French Toast, but this was really good, fluffy but crisp edges and a great flavor. Their portions were large, with very reasonable prices. They had a counter front ice cream bar that we did not partake in, however we may do so on our next trip. We will be back in the future.
