    Fish and Chips

    This was our first visit (suggested from family)...Food was good, it's very small and loud in there, the service was good - although our waitress messed up the check twice (second time we didn't even bother correcting her). Prices are higher than what is listed online. I don't think we would make a point to go back, unless it was someone else's request. It was good just wouldn't be a regular place we would crave to visit.

    Good place to eat. Clean restaurant with good service. I got the San Francisco Sourdough burger. I envisioned the old Frisco Burger that Marie Callender's used to offer. This version was not as cheesy. Good but not great sandwich. Their fries are beer batter which I'm not a huge fan of. My wife had the Chimichurri Melt. Seasoned tri tip with melted cheese. She loved her sandwich. I will definitely go back to try other items on the menu.

    Lots of delicious food to choose from

    The Chicken Parmesan and Alfredo was amazing, service above and beyond and I enjoyed the ambiance which was welcoming and friendly. If you get a chance stop by and try some of the delicious food. Thanks Ron

    Stopped by Mike's Grillhouse for lunch with a friend today and it was a great experience. Morgan and the additional wait staff (I forgot their names) were very friendly and provided excellent customer service. The restaurant was clean and spacious, and located in a central area. I ordered a Grilled Chicken with mango salsa dish and it was tasty. The chicken was slightly dry, but the mango salsa was a nice addition and the steamed veggies were good too. My friend had the chicken tenders with fries, and those were yummy as well. We spent a while eating and catching up, and were also given a free dessert, which was very kind and unexpected. The berry cobbler with ice cream was delicious and a great way to end a fun lunch. Definitely recommend dining at Mike's Grillhouse if you're visiting Modesto.

    Caesar salad with shrimp soooo yummy!

    Excellent lunch here! Today was a Caesar shrimp salad. Probably the best I've ever had. Awesome service at the bar. Very comfortable fairly quiet. Big screen tv with sports. Great staff ! Nice selection of beers and wine. This spot rocks! See you here

    Mike's is a great place to have lunch or dinner. We were there for dinner. They also have take out and likely delivery. The place is spotless. It is also comfortable and not too loud. The bathrooms are nice and the entire place is well kept up. The service was fast and friendly. You are not rushed, but they will check on you, which is great. We ordered several things and loved them all. We had a few of their starters. We loved the crab cakes. It has roasted red pepper aioli and a side of mango salsa. So tasty. We also tried their sautéed scallops which comes with some lovely French bread. We moved on to a Southern steak salad, which was wonderful and could be a whole meal. It has chopped romaine, grilled sirloin steak, shredded cheddar, tomatoes, crispy onion strings, and cabbage blend, with a spicy ranch dressing. It was not too spicy and they cooked the steak the way I wanted it. Their Mandurian chicken salad was my favorite. It has romaine, mandarin oranges, grilled chicken, wonton strips and cabbage in a tasty mandarin dressing. For our mains we had a wonderful chicken penne with a real good Cajun seasoning with parmesan sauce. Needs a little more chicken, but it was very good. Their fish and chips were perfect. The fish batter was so perfect, cooked just right and we loved the fries. We finished sharing a chocolate brownie with a wonderful served ala mode with whip cream, chocolate and raspberry sauce. The raspberry sauce was ever so good. We loved it all and will be back.

    Chicken Club Wrap and fries
    Sarah W.

    This was a by chance lunch stop based upon time and other reviews that happened to popup at the top of my Yelp... Total score, we definitely made the right choice. This was a cozy little bar-type atmosphere with a bar up front and tvs to turn to if you happened to be interested; their presence was not overwhelming though, so hubby was able to enjoy a bit of the game without my feeling like that part of the environment trumped the rest of it and there was no room for conversation... Perfect compromise. The wraps we got were FANTASTIC... We both shared bites of the others and I can definitively say that they were a great choice. Full of flavor and very enjoyable, but not overdone. Both the regular and garlic fries were sooo good . The staff were super helpful and friendly, not overbearing at all. We will definitely return next time we are in the neighborhood

    Medium rare?

    I've been in the mood for a good burger for a while and found myself near Mike's around lunchtime. What luck! I'm certain Mike's knows how to make a great burgar, right? Right? Hmm, not so much. I ordered a cheese burger, medium rare, with cheddar, mayo and ketchup. At first glance it looked good, and then I actual tasted it. No mayo, drowning in ketchup, not a single grain of salt or pepper to season the patty and way, way, way overcooked. On top of it all it cost $20.95 for a takeout order with no drink. Really disappointing. In the pros side, the fries were really good, seasoned, hot and nice and crispy. The ranch was good, too. I've been to Mike's three times and have been disappointed the last two.

    Is it a fitting location for a work meeting/lunch?

    Actually I think it would be a great place for a lunch meeting I think when we were last there they did have a table set up with some people discussing some business at least that's what it looked like with all the papers they had in the table

    Do they have lunch specials daily? If so what kind of lunch special do they have?

    Yes

    Huge portions! Poke…read moreBowl Pelandale has quickly become one of my go-to spots in Modesto. They offer a large variety of proteins and toppings in their poke bowls as well as hot appetizers like gyoza, rangoons, egg rolls, and tempura. I typically order a Large Bowl with five toppings to split with my mom. We get the creamy shrimp, spicy scallops, octopus, and double salmon. The bowls are absolutely huge. I'd say the bowls are about three inches deep, and it's not just rice filling them! They are very generous with their toppings and don't shy away from loading them up with the seaweed salad and imitation crab too. They offer a bunch of sauces and mayo dressings that add a bunch of flavor. I also really enjoy their Kani Salad! It is a large portion that packs a lot of flavor. I always order ahead and the mean is finished before I arrive! I would say though that they are not the most consistent. Sometimes the octopus pieces are super hard and it grosses me out. One time they put ahi tuna in my bowl instead of the salmon. A few times they didn't include the sauce topping on my bowls. The interior of the restaurant is not the cleanest. There were some areas, especially around the drink fountain that look like the haven't been deep cleaned for a while. Regardless, none of these are major issues that would turn me away from eating there again.

Unfortunately on two different orders, I've found a piece of hair in my food. The last order has done it for me and this establishment. I understand that mistakes can happen, but this is a food safety concern that shouldn't be overlooked. Cleanliness and proper food handling are extremely important when serving customers. I hope management takes this seriously and reinforces hygiene standards with staff to prevent this from happening again.

    Panera has lost me for sure as a customer!! I came to use my so called reward because I haven't…read morebeen to Panera since they took out my Napa Almond chicken sandwich and my green goddess salad. The price of soufflé is utterly ridiculous!! This location had an employee that seemed to really not want to be there and everyone wanted to order at the register. I tried to do the kiosk but it wasn't giving my reward yet it was there to click on but was still charging it. Same thing happened at the register but that was after back and forth trying to find something I wanted just to redeem the reward. The guy that didn't seem to want to be there just left and no was at the register at all. I had to ask people in the back to come up and help. Yet the manager of the day was the one that rang me I still didn't get the reward which was a free bakery treat with a $10 purchase. They gave me a baguette that I did not even want. I would've chosen the chips instead, but that wasn't even offered so what a waste of bread and I had to get a refund for my reward because it was still charged!! I had to use the bathroom and the line was getting long and I had been there already awhile just trying to find something that was $10 or more. When I was in the bathroom I thought to myself the price seemed off and when I looked at the receipt I was charged. Now it was refunded but I still need to check my bank just to know for sure it was. The price for the bread bowl was just crazy while their deal on some soup is ok ,it will not go with the reward. I will never be coming to any Panera ever again. FYI to used their bathroom you need to ask for a code. Parking is horrible and their drive thru line seemed long The reward I got was so tiny and not even worth all the trouble I had dealt with on a Thursday afternoon.

    Tasty or WasteY??? Tasty!!!…read moreI don't know why we never tried this place before a couple months ago. Probably because of the name. We tried it once and now we're hooked. This time we tried the steak nachos. What a tasty surprise! The best nachos I've had in years! I would highly recommend this place. And, not only is the food good, but the patio dining is relaxing. The waitress that works on Sundays is so attentive. She never lets our drink get less than halfway empty before she's bringing us a refill. The prices are great for the huge portions of food.

    Horrible service experience…read more When we arrived, the restaurant was only about 30% full and there appeared to be four waitresses on duty. After seating ourselves as instructed, we waited nearly 15 minutes before anyone acknowledged us or came to our table. We ordered two drinks and an appetizer (cheese curds) and requested a beer flight. It then took another several minutes to receive a flight card, and additional time before another waitress finally came over to enter the order. By this point, we had already been waiting approximately 25 minutes. Nearly 30 minutes after being seated, I finally received my flight. The cheese curds never arrived. Shortly afterward, our entrées were delivered. To be fair, the food itself was good. The larger issue was the complete lack of attentiveness from the wait staff. During the time we were waiting, employees appeared more focused on talking amongst themselves and cleaning tables than monitoring customers. At one point, a waitress cleaned the table directly next to us and never acknowledged our presence. Customers should at least be greeted, acknowledged, and offered water shortly after being seated. Instead, we sat for nearly 15 minutes without any interaction whatsoever. If a self-seating system is being used, management needs to ensure staff are actively watching for incoming guests and providing prompt service. To make matters worse, when the bill arrived, we were still charged for the cheese curds that never came to the table. We had already asked two different waitresses about the missing appetizer. The charge was eventually addressed, but it should never have appeared on the bill in the first place. We visited on Sunday, June 14, at approximately 2:45 PM. Our food arrived roughly 75 minutes after we first sat down. We left a $0 tip, which is extremely unusual for us. We normally tip 20-30% for good service, but the service on this visit did not warrant any gratuity. Management should review what occurred during this shift, including staff performance and table coverage procedures. Based on our experience, there were clear failures in customer service, communication, and basic attentiveness. Unless we receive an apology from management and some indication that these issues are being addressed, we do not plan to return. Potential customers should be prepared for slow and highly inconsistent service.
