    Can't miss this place, there's a giant parrot on the front side of the building. They have a large parking lot. Inside is a small stage, round cocktail tables, and games. You get an appetizer for every beer purchased. This is nice, like a sample of what their appetizers are before ordering more. The options were chicken wings and calamari; two pieces. Their menu also offer nachos, sandwiches, burritos, tacos, burgers, tenders and fries. Plenty More and Pink Guava were my favorite. We got to try their current offers and one more that is still brewing. Nice staff and clean tables.

    Calamari appetizer $16!!!!

    Ordered asada nachos, calamari, and a hamburger. When we ordered, we were told they weren't making anymore sandwiches or burgers but it was not even 6:30pm. Our food took over an hour to receive. The calamari was terrible and not with the money. The only saving grace was the asada fries and nice bartenders. If they're playing live music and expecting a crowd, they need to have adequate staff to be efficient.

    Great place for a nice cold one and games too! They have pinball, video games, shuffleboard, billiards, and my favorite basketball . I kicked some butt of course! Lol....and Tuesday night is trivia night. We had a blast! The bathrooms aren't the best, the soap dispenser didn't work so I'm not ever eating there but for games and beer, YES we will be back.

    Pretzel bites with cheese

    I visited Persuasion Brewing for the first time in late June 2024. The place is enormous inside. We were promptly greeted and helped by the staff. We ordered beers and then food. I got the spicy BBQ burger and my buddy ordered the Tri-tip sandwich. The burger sounded really good, but I'd say it was a little disappointing. It was simple and a bit small for the price. It did taste good though. I also got a side of the pretzel bites. They tasted a bit overcooked but we ate them and the cheese sauce was a great pair. I'd like to see a beer cheese option (maybe even made with Persuasion beer?) and or an ale mustard option. This would take the pretzels up a notch! My buddy ordered the buffalo cheese curds and these were legit amazing, don't skip on these! So good. The beer was great. All in all, great experience and great place! Looking forward to coming back and trying more!

    I was looking for some beer to pick up and this place came up on Yelp . This place is huge !! In the front near the parking lot they have food trucks with so many different kinds of food . I got the pleasure to meet Brown Boy Burgers outside he was definitely doing his thing . He was so friendly too ! Walking in inside they had a live band playing . They had pool tables, arcade games and so much more. So they brew their own beer which is on tap but they also have large coolers with so many beers to go from other breweries that you could purchase. A lot of options to choose from. Inside they also have another area where they sell food. I had a question and David was very helpful and nice thanks David ! Overall, this is a great place to have a great time with so many entertainment inside . They also have a lot of options if you're a beer lover. I highly recommend this place fun times !

    This is an update to my first review over 2 years ago. We had to come and check out the Cousins Maine Lobster food truck w/all the rave reviews. And.. I've been jonesing for a proper lobster roll since I visited Boston. loved my lobster roll... but it needed to be twice the size. lol. It looked bigger in pics online. That's why I put my fork in photo for you:) The "new" Persuasion is not my cup of tea let's say. The crowd seemed a tad different than last time I was there. Grocery store is gone and it's one big open cold room. Band was good but they had a lot of microphone/sound system issues tonite. games, pool table, foos ball, TV's.. band. The beer tender was very nice. Im not sure I'll be back.

    New chairs

    Recently I have gone back to persuasion brewing, The beer was excellent the MOMO beer is really something else and I just keep goin back for MO! The beer pairs nicely with the tacos, but I didn't not buy a sandwich but they still use Boars Head. Other than that the menu has been updated and I am ready to test out the new creations that they have came up with. The service was nice but slow, on one of my tacos plates they gave the wrong meat selection but gave me the correct plate right away. The ambiance was great the steel chairs are gone and now they have tables with nicely cushioned chairs (for the people with NO butt) which made me wan to stay because of how comfortable the chairs are. Overall persuasion is nice and spacious and has upgraded very very nicely.

    Club Sandwich

    Cool place, been there twice now. The club sandwich is fantastic! Stacked high with plenty of meat. Then came back later for beers with friends. Make sure you buy a bag of chips and the fresh salsa! #spicemeister approved!

    Place is pretty awesome. We were on our way to see Natalie Merchant in San Fran but she postponed. So we made a stop here in Modesto. Good menu option, cans to go, snacks and non alcoholic beverages, along with a sandwich stop featuring Boars Head Brand!! Didn't get to grab a Sammie this time around but they look delicious. Beer-tenders were very nice! They also have pool tables and arcade games to keep you partying all night long! All in all it was a great stop!

    Bauer's By Sazon - Pastrami Burger With Onion Rings

    Bauer's By Sazon

    (202 reviews)

    Had an overnight work trip that had me in Modesto so I was trying to find something fun to eat…read more After a bit of research I found this place. I showed up around 7pm and I thought it might have been closed because no one was here. But they were open. I ordered a Bauer burger with the house seasoned fries. They asked how I'd like the egg cooked and the burger cooked: I asked for medium for both. Given how dead the place was, it did take a minute to get my food. The burger was ok, not worth $21. The bun fell apart very quickly which is a bit of a cardinal sin in the burger game. The bacon on the burger was not bacon strips but a bit of bacon crumble. The patty was a bit overcooked so it was dry and it wasn't seasoned so it was bland. The egg was cooked perfectly, but the aioli and the egg yolk with a disintegrated bun made for a huge mess. The fries were interesting. The house seasoned fries are not salted. So the fries were almost sweet due to the spices, but no salt. And they do not have regular table ketchup or malt vinegar. I did ask for some ketchup and they brought me their house ketchup. While not like a classic ketchup, it was actually quite good. Oh, be aware. They will charge you a 4% fee when they bring you the check (what would have happened if I'd paid with cash?). I do not see anywhere on the menu where they say their is a payment fee so that is a pretty shady business practice. Overall: meh. I think for the price point the burger should have been great, but sadly I can't say it was great or even good. I'd likely not return.

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.

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.
