Chicken fried steak with loaded potato
Rob M.

Have been here numerous times over the years. Any of their buffets (especially their Sunday brunch buffet) are hard to top. Their salad bar is one of the best in the area and can be added to most meals for only $6 dollars. We always get great service. The only negative is their tap beer selection is rather limited.

Crab, shrimp and melted butter
Nasser S.

Mark your calender, the third Tuesday of every month- all you can eat prime rib, shrimp and crab buffet. I mean it, market your calender now, go go go, you can thank me later, haha. It's crazy how many people have been living out here for so long and still dont know about The Fruit Yard and all it's benefits. Yes they have the fruit stand, pies, nuts, bbq etc. They also have a restaurant with different buffets through out the month. Step up your game and get in the know people, haha. The food is top notch, not your basic buffet food. It's all delicious and high quality. The crab was so good I cant believe how much I ate. Let's just say I got my money's worth haha. All the different styles of shrimp was scrumptious as well, my favorite being the butterfly shrimp and the coconut shrimp. I could literally eat them all day. I loved the prime rib and the fact that you get a choice of well done or rare. All the buffet food was good, I loved the large chicken taquitos and salad bar. This is a must event to attend atleast twice a year, I dont want it so packed I cant get in haha. My only let down was the dessert options were not the same quality as the rest of the food in my opinion. The dessert options have room for improvement, they were just ok, nothing special. Other then that it was amazing. Pro tip: make reservations and try to be there right when it opens at 5pm if you can. You want to be seated if you can in the main buffet room, otherwise you'll be sitting in the bar area and over flow seating outside the main buffet area. Also you may want to come prepared with a crab bib and tools to extract as much crab meat as you can. It will get messy eating all that crab. Now go enjoy and your welcome.

Sold out show

This is the 2nd concert we attended at the Fruit Yard. The venue is set up well, there are no places you sit where you wont see and hear the performer. This was a completely sold out show so it got packed in the venue. Check in screening is set up well. They have 3 areas one to check in if you need a 21+ wrist band if you plan to drink, one for security screening, which they seperate into lines with chairs and without. Will call also has its designated security line so that people didnt have to wait then wait again. Once your through security they had multiple lines to scan your tickets in before entering the area of the venue with food, merch and restrooms. I have to hand it to them even though all the restrooms are portable potties, they were the cleanest I've been in and didnt smell like a crapper. We had GA seats and brought our low back chairs and sat up on the 2 section of the grass. Part of the video screen was obstructed by the large speakers but we could see the entire stage and the performance. They have a beverage pavillion on the far side of the stage that only has drinks so if you get thirsty during the show you can hit that area instead of going to the food vendors. They also have a sponsorship lounge where its exclusive to get in with private restrooms and drinks for purchase. Weird Al was such an entertainer, committed to costume changes through the show. We were able to hit the merch booth on the way out with a minimal line.

Looking for a new place to have Sunday brunch and this came as a recommendation. The place is cozy and gives you a feel of coming home to mom's cooking. The wait staff were very warm and pleasant. The food is generous. The fruit platter was very flavorful. And the chicken fried steak just hits the spot. This is what you call comfort food!

My husband and I went there on Thursday for a paint and sip night. There were a lot of people there, it seems like a very popular place. The decor was friendly and the atmosphere was fun. The staff were great and everyone there seemed to be enjoying themselves. The food and drinks were excellent. We had a really good time. We will definitely be back.

i came with my family the weekend before christmas. the food was okay, i had to send my salmon i ordered back. it was overcooked and tasted terrible. their salad bar could be more fresh. loved the amount of animal life around the restaurant.

Awesome little spot for a music venue, in the outskirts of Modesto. They have a lot of rather big names coming out this summer including Brett Young, Midland, Walker Hayes, Ernest, Chris Janson, and Jake Owen who we saw recently on a Sunday evening! There are three cement seating areas (101-103) and then behind is the larger lawn section. The only unfortunate thing is the actual seats are just fold up chairs and are VERY close together, so beware. Check in is rather chaotic so be prepared to wait in a very long line to go through security and have your ticket(s) scanned. They do have food and beer for sale during the event with is nice and a merch tent as well. Parking can also get a bit hectic so I'd recommend parking near the entrance (by the gas station) if you can do so, so you don't have to wait in a huge line once the concert is over. Overall, nice little venue that actually brings pretty big names to a small(er) town in CA!

Fresh jalapeño margarita. Bomb!
Ashley Q.

I don't often leave 5 stars. Because nothing is perfect. Right? However, yesterday my friends and I stopped by after a 3 mile walk and experienced the buffet salad bar. Ok.. first of all.. I'm kind of a germ freak and do not like to eat off of buffets for obvious reasons. But, this was so clean. So fresh. I could not resist. It was amazing. Pasta, coleslaw & potato salad is made right there everyday!! Whaaat? And they make their croutons and salad dressings!! wowzers. $12.99 all you can eat. and fresh fruit was amazing too. No sogginess or mealy watermelon. strawberries and cantaloupe yum! it was epic in my book and probably the BEST deal for freshest healthy food in the entire valley!! See pics:) and make the trip. you will not be disappointed.

This is our new favorite place for delicious baked goods and gift ideas. Amazing pies, cakes,…read morecookies and the fruit turnovers. The turnovers are double the size of any I've had from other places. We tried the pumpkin and pineapple, yum yum. They provide samples of various items. A good selection of flavored almonds and corn nuts. Delicious salsa's, cooking oils, vinegars, jams and marinated vegetables. They carry Roberts Ferry popcorn, various flavors. Really good carrot cake, cake rolls and cheese cake......delish! They have some gift baskets already made up, however, you can make your own selection of items and choose your own basket. The staff will put it together for you and add cellophane and bows. We picked out our items for someone special and the staff put it together for us. Our family member loved the gift basket. We'll definitely be back for gift baskets and pies or cakes as needed for holiday get togethers. They also make delicious drinks. They have a point system, earn points for every dollar spent. We earned a free pie on our next trip out there. Love this place.

Impression: First time visiting this place. I have always…read moreheard great things about it. I have been to quite a few places in Oakdale but always just rolled by this spot. The inside is old school food place with photos of nostalgia of the country. Flow: You can call in and pick up for fast service or drop in and wait to be seated. It could be a long wait or it could be fast depending on the line. The service is fast though. They don't dilly dally and waste your time. If you are going to dine in you need to go to the counter and put your name in. Food: Leo Camarillo- You can order with pastrami, roast beef or both. (Not half and half) Lots of cheese and sautéed mushrooms. If you're not a mushroom fan just skip. This is so delicious I have been thinking about it ever since we got it. My wife doesn't like mushrooms and she still ate with the shrooms on. We ordered pastrami only. No ragrats! French Dip- My kids ate both halves and didn't even hook it up with a bite! It was juicy and the dip was perfect. Always add the cheese. The Italian- Loved the Italian. It had a lot of meats on it and the veggies were fresh. Topped with an Italian dressing. Salads- Pesto salad was my favorite. Excellent flavor. No heartburn. Spaghetti salad was the sleeper. Very unsuspecting. I thought it was going to be cold spaghetti sauce but it was tomato's and Italian dressing/seasoning. Potato salad was ok. We added pepper and salt. We ordered 3 sandwiches for 4 people and came home with an untouched half because there was so much food. Bill was less than $60 for all the food and the soft drinks. Will definitely be a frequent haunt now.

Beast of a sandwich. This order had both pastrami and roast beef. I added the au jus. Very tasty…read more Arrived at 1:00 pm so we did not need to wait. Tasty. Highly recommend. #spicemeister approved.
