-Intro: As I'm preparing to write this I'm on the fence of…read morewhether this place is a 4 or a 5/5. I'm very conflicted. First off this place is just on the side of the road kind of out in the middle of nowhere. Nothing but orchards before and after it until you hit the city and the freeway. While the main building itself seems a tad small from the outside, there's still a decent number of tables. And if that isn't enough, they have an entire covered seating area directly next to the building. -Offerings: As for food offerings, they have a good amount. They have their standard cheeseburgers that come standard as a single to a triple. Then they have their special burger/sandwiches. For example they have a cheeseburger that also comes with a fried chicken patty. -Prices: Seeing the price of the signature burgers, and not even talking about the combo prices, I was already a bit off put. That pushed me to end up ordering a double cheeseburger (add bacon) combo which after tax, tip and credit card fee (unmentioned) wound up to be $30.49. $30+ for a single combo at a fast casual restaurant is absolutely absurd to me under MOST circumstances. I just had this feeling I was in for a huge disappointment. These are like big city fancy burger restaurants prices. -Food: While they weren't slow, the food definitely did not come out fast. I can fully appreciate the time it took to cook the food properly though. The crinkle fries were as perfectly cooked as you could possibly get them. Golden brown crisp on the outside and fully cooked on the inside. I'm not sure what kind of bun they use but it had a hint of sweetness to it. It was pillowy soft yet durable as it held up well. The patties were juicy and flavorful and I loved the cheese too. I'm not sure how many ounces their patties are but these things were BIG; they ended up being wider than the buns. I definitely had some slippage so I wish I kept the paper wrapping to hold it together more until I ate more of the burger. I got 3 different sauces to try: house sauce, ranch and spicy ranch. I highly recommend the spicy ranch for the fries as that was my favorite. -Final thoughts: I've had some VERY good burgers at multiple price points and size ranges over the years. While the fries were great and the burger had some heft to it, I struggle to justify a burger combo at that price point, especially for a fast casual restaurant. No, the fact that they are a fast casual restaurant doesn't factor THAT heavily into the review, but it is still worth noting for anyone who just wants a good burger at a decent price point. Had this been a special burger (with smoked meats, fancy cheeses or toppings etc) I can see the justification for the pricing a little easier but considering that this is a basic bacon double cheeseburger, although a good one, I cannot justify giving them a 5/5. On taste alone a 5/5 for the area, but factoring everything in, 4/5.

Let's start with the negatives... First time we attempted to come by they were closed. So we had to…read morewait to try Mike's Grillhouse. Staff was super friendly, went out of their way to make sure the tables were tidy, and refilled drinks really quick. The restaurant is smaller than you expect it to be, but it is cozy, friendly, and not overly loud. We only had a 10 minute wait when we arrived and they were packed. Our waiter Kyle was on point, introduced himself and dropped the special of the day with gusto. If I hadn't already had a ton of carbs for the day I would have gone with it. Ended up ordering the scallops, and fried zucchini appetizers. Scallops are served almost like a soup. The sauce in the bowl was to die for. I'm thinking white wine, and lemon were the major components. It was phenomenal. Fried zucchini was super tasty and is coming home with us. I'd swear it was enough to feed 4 people. For mains, we ordered pot roast and fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. Wife loved the pasta and chicken. Surprisingly enough she ate it all, none to go which is super rare for her. Pot roast was fantastic. Mashed potatoes were on point, the mixed vegetables were amazing. When you get broccoli and carrots on the same plate and neither have a mushy texture it makes me happy Will definitely be back again in the future.

I had to go to Kaiser so on the way home we saw this restaurant. From the outside it looks big but…read morewhen you get inside, it is a quaint place. The noise is a little high but not too bad. You can hear the music they are playing. Our server, Kyle, came out to let us know the special. He put our appetizers in before even thinking about our food. They were spaced out just right. He was also Johnny on the spot with refills and kept checking on us. Ok now onto the food. It was delicious! Hubby had scallops as an appetizer and pot roast for his main dish. I had fried zucchini and then fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. I like my chicken on the side so I only add what I want. This place is just down from the freeway exit and is only open for lunch & dinner. If you are passing through Modesto, get off and come eat some good food. It is totally worth it!

The atmosphere was super welcoming and laid-back, which made it really easy for all of us to just relax, talk, and enjoy being together.Since it's a tap house, we went for the beer and they had a really good selection to choose from. There was something for everyone, and it made it fun trying different options and finding favorites. The staff was friendly and attentive without being overbearing, which I really appreciated. Our waiter was Shayla she was so friendly and attentive. She made sure we were taken care of and added to the overall good experience. What stood out most was just how comfortable and enjoyable it felt. It's the kind of place you can go with family, laugh, and make good memories. I'll definitely be coming back again.

1st time here. Nice, clean place. I liked the vibe. They…read moreoffer outside seating as well. Staff were friendly but service was a bit slow. The bartender was also our server so prob short staff. But despite that I appreciated that he still managed to check on us and made conversation. I ordered the fish and chips and I'm really glad I did. It was 2 generous pieces of cod which also included a good amount of waffle cut fries. Yes please! My experience with fish and chips is that the fish tends to fall apart and become mushy once deep fried. But theirs DID NOT! It stayed whole and flaky and didn't get lost inside the crispy batter which theirs was also seasoned just right. I could tell it was made fresh because it came out hot. Just the way I like it. Definitely worth the wait. I would come back and order this again and again. My daughter who ordered the steak bowl with a side of avocado also enjoyed hers. Again they weren't stingy With the amount of steak that came with it. I would definitely recommend this place and go back.

My partner was the one who went in person to order and pick up the food; he had nothing but positive things to stay about the experience and the service! We decided on the Bro Burger, the Atomic Burger, and the loaded fries Overall, I was really pleased! The lacy, crispy edges of the burger are HEAVEN and the fact that you can pick up and put down the burger and it still holds it's shape?! Fantastic! It's not nearly as messy as my usual spot. Everything is reasonably priced, and a good value for what you receive. I wish the burgers were a tad bigger because I feel like two to myself would really slay my hunger. My only gripe is that they use crinkle fries for their French fries, which we all know is not a top-tier example of the capabilities of a potato BUT they were exceptionally cooked and held up against the sauces and condiments of the loaded fries. But still. Crinkle fries Booooooo. I'm definitely coming back though. In fact, two Bro Burgers sound perfect right about now...
