A perfect mix of good vibes, amazing food, and amazing employees. Every trip to Rivets has been enjoyable and has left us waddling back to the car saying "I'm in pain but it was so worth it!" Beware! Coming here will make you addicted and you'll crave it constantly. They have the most bizarre creations, stuff you look at and say, "Who does that?" but then you take a chance and realize you have no clue where that's been your entire life. I insanely recommend. read more

My wife enjoyed Rivets so much last time I took her, that she asked to return. This time all was great, she thoroughly enjoyed her meal and drinks as did I, the service was again nicely given and the ambiance was enhanced for my wife when she found the pin ball games. Solid five of five. Guess we will be coming back. read more

Rivets American Grill - I had a burger with peanut butter on it, I know it sounds crazy but here in our little village of... - Bars Near Me - Modesto, California

Rivets is neither here nor there. Always great service and friendliness, as soon as you walk in. Food is good and I feel like this would be a go-to place because it's convenient, and wish the table seating wasn't so "Perkos" like. I will come here again, because I want to sit at the bar and see how that goes read more

I order the chicken apple salad. Ive ordered it before and it was always good and fresh. This time it was smothered in dressing and quite soggy. The waitress asked how it was after I only ate 1/4 of it. I told her it was soggy not good. She said, 'well sometimes it happens' Disappointed read more

We had an evening planned to spend with our darling teenage granddaughter and Rivets fit the bill. We had been regulars bc we lived nearby and they saved us with excellent takeout during Covid. We hadn't visited since we moved to Oakdale five years ago so we thought it was time. It was a busy Friday night when we arrived about 5:45 pm. We were quickly seated and our server, John, quickly arrived to bring waters. I ordered a glass of Kim Crawford sauvignon blanc and my husband had an IP. We took a few minutes to review the menu and were ready when John returned. We ordered the fish and chips, the birria tacos and the special, seafood pasta. We were all very pleased with our choices. The food arrived hot and fresh. We were enjoying great food and conversation when someone took the mike and announced that a band would be playing soon. Right away, we could no longer hear each other, our time of conversation was over. Please don't misunderstand me, the band was fine and the vibe was good. A Friday night at Rivets is a fun time just not where you want to be for conversation. Of course, we will return bc the food is very good, and the service is on point! read more

Service was great. We had a party of 14 and was smooth. Bartender came by and made us a great drink. I had a Fancy Burger, It was delicious but, not fancy. Food was fresh and hot when served. Our service was great. Refills kept coming in. read more

I used to love this place but found that the cleanliness (or lack there of) in the restaurant is a turnoff . Service is okay but you need to be patient when it's busy. The music is at times too loud for my liking and the beer selection is mundane. Needs more craft beer and less of the usual stuff. They need to go in a different direction for me to go back. read more

Stopped in to cool off and enjoy a cold beer with my lady, and we were pleasantly surprised! The service was excellentfriendly and attentive without being overbearing. They've got a solid selection of beers, with something for every taste. I went for the hazy IPA, which hit the spot, and she had a michelada that was perfectly balanced and refreshing. The vibe inside is relaxed with average seating, a decent-sized bar, and a fun bonus some classic arcade games that added a nostalgic touch to our visit. Whether you're looking to unwind or just enjoy a chill spot with good brews, this place is worth checking out. read more

This place is just ok. Food ok but absolutely does not justify the price. Everything here is really overpriced. Don't care for seating style. Too dim inside and during the day the light coming in from the outside is incredibly hard on the eyes. Two burgers, two mixed drink - $78! Don't see ourselves coming back. read more

Once Again great service ! Evan was great! Our meals were fabulous! Our Son had the Southwest Nachos huge portion with lots of Nacho goodies on it . Hubby had the Short Rib Tacos . He said it was the BEST dish he has had there . I had the Smoked Brisket Sandwich. Super tender and I ordered the Tots - instead of fries ( 2.00 additional ) they were super crunch - just perfect . It was a Nice relaxing Lunch :) read more

Service: The service was slow and the waitress wasn't the most personable. That could have been due to low staff that day as they mentioned before seating. Food: My meal was $22.00 for a burger, fries, and a drink. The food was dry and the fries weren't the best. The portion sizes were extremely small. Ambiance: The establishment is setup as a sports bar. It was clean and organized. Overall: I wouldn't return to this establishment in the future based on the meal quality and high meal price. Other Points: The establishment was accessible for those in a wheelchair. They had some options for those who are vegetarian. read more

Always consistently good and food is always very speedy. Service is great never an empty cup never left. Wondering if we're gonna get a condiment or a drink they are on top of it and I have been going to this business for years and I will continue to go to this business! Absolutely fantastic food always good temperature. They do not play at rivets they have entertainment. Excellent drinks tried some things from their new drink menu and got a little drink in a fish cup. It was adorable. But as far as dining, I would highly recommend rivets to anyone who has not tried it huge menu and again I've never had a bad thing there. read more

I come here on Sundays for NFL Sunday Ticket to watch my favorite team play when they are out of area and I love coming here. They have breakfast brunch and great atmosphere. I always feel safe and people are very friendly. The staff are nice, responsive and helpful. This is my go to place to watch Football on Sundays and I hope to see you there too! read more

This place was fabulous! The mozzarella sticks are the best I have ever had! Our waitress recommended them and they did not disappoint. I wish I remembered her name, because she was so fabulous! It has a sports bar feel, but was family friendly! Unfortunately, we were just passing through on a road trip, or we would be coming here more often! If you live local, this is a great family dinner spot, place to watch the game, or a chill date spot. read more

GREAT place to watch NFL and college football games! Open early for Sunday morning games! Bartenders are the best and on point!!!! There are TV's all throughout , not a bad seat in the house! read more

A large group of us came in for dinner, we loved how kick back and relaxed the vibes are here! The service was outstanding and the food was super good! We were told they have a live band here, we will come back for a date night! read more

Great service and crowded at times due to popularity and location being closer to the country than the city places. If country person it's a nice place to stop to save the total drive to the city. read more

Been wanting to eat here forever due to the excellent reviews. Well, we used Uber Eats. Food was "fresh" but it was all meh. I ordered the French dip with the sliced sourdough. The bread was good but the meat was real chewy. The fries were ok... obviously, the standard frozen ones restaurants buy from Sysco. My wife ordered the Mango Cilantro Chicken Salad. It looked tasty but the everything was huge. Had to cut everything smaller so she could eat it. Not much of a salad if you have to continue to cut the items in the salad. Otherwise the food was average. We probably won't order from here again. Not to say anyone else shouldn't. Just don't think it's worth ordering from again. read more

Follow all driving safety laws, but get here ASAP Amazing decor, friendly staff, and a huge bar. Games and activities for the kiddos, and lots of booths for families. Outdoor seating for the nature lovers. Mornings you can stop in for breakfast till 11am, then it is off to the regular menu. A large selection of burgers and sandwiches can come with many potato generated sides. I had the chicken pesto sandwich with garlic fries, the fries were crispy and the garlic toss was very good. Paired with a Guinness that came from the very good sized tap collection, made my lunch perfect. They have a dessert menu and also do milkshakes. I am looking forward to trying this spot out many more times read more

Went here on a whim and regretted it. Food was subpar and expensive for "bar" food. $28 for 6 cheese ravioli that are not actually made in house is WILD. Burger was not impressive and chicken & fries were nasty. Only good things we had were the side winder fries and fried pickles. Those actually came out fresh. Over $100 for this meal is ridiculous. Inflation and the raise in minimum wage doesn't mean you can price gouge people with awful food. Do better Rivets. read more

Service was good. Used to love coming here food was much more expensive than the last time here. Dissapointed that there is NO BEER menu. This is a must, especially when you are going for that specific reason. Was not greeted upon entering and waited more than 10 mins as the hostess was on the phone . Proper customer service states that the person in front of should at least be greeted. New menus are too small to read. read more

Used to be okay. Now it's 21.95 for a burger. That looks like this (I ate half) . You won't get out of here for under $150 if you have a family. read more

Rivets American Grill - This is what I love about this place!! It's all about the people you meet here. Good food, fun and a great community - Bars Near Me - Modesto, California

The service was excellent, but the food was horrible. I ordered the pork belly burger with fries. There was absolutely no seasoning or flavor in either. How can you mess up fries?? It was just bland through and through. The ambiance was ok. Working class clientele and the decor needs an upgrade, but why bother if your food sucks read more

When you walk in you're greeted by awesome staff. Sat down right away & gave good recommendations! The burger was good & the onion rings were even better! The burger was a little more spicier than I thought and I was given a whole cutting of an onion in my burger but still LOVED the combo! On top of that, server gave the best service yet! read more

I was visiting from out of town and had a good experience. The layout was nice and we got our food pretty fast. I asked the waiter what the 3 most popular items were and one of the items was the PBJ burger. I like burgers and I like PB&J so I decided to try it. The burger was good. All of the components were good, but the peanut butter made it really dry. Having a burger stick to the roof of your mouth isn't pleasurable. The thick curly fries were different and good. I'd eat there again, just would try something else. read more

Where to start, I ordered an 80/20 buerger 13.99 lady asks what side i would like(old fashion me thought it was part of the meal) so she went on to list sides, i took the onion rings. I also order bucket of fries 6.99. These are prices on there online menu. I go to pick up order and it's 30.19. This place is falsely advertising prices. Smh read more

Rivets American Grill - Bloody Mary - Bars Near Me - Modesto, California

I saw the banners that hang from the patio fence and tried to find any menus and pricing information on the web to no avail. Thought we would give it a try and see what they have. It's American diner type of food and it was pretty good. Will I go again for breakfast? Probably not. Too many other options available at better pricing. If you are looking to watch a game or have drink with breakfast then this is your place. Dark bar atmosphere with good service. Give it a try and make up your own mind. Lunch and dinner are great there. read more

My husband and I tried this place for the first time. We eat out quite a bit and we are pretty picky. Our first impress was good. We were greeted by Jerad, who would be our server. He was perfect at every step. Many regulars were here and the energy was good. The cocktail menu is creative with a huge collection of spirits. Hubby had a philly cheese sando that he loved and enjoyed the leftovers the next day. Great onion rings! I had a great tasting burger that had bacon ground in the burger meat. However, the bread it was served on fell apart immediately and I had trouble eating it. (knife and fork) According to the menu, it usually comes on a bun. I will know next time. Menu says you can specify your bread. Bottom line, this is now on our list of favs. It's a good bar, but family-friendly on the Tuesday eve were here. read more
