    Raspberry Pina Colada

    The food presentations were amazing but the steak was underwhelming. I order the Flaming Ribeye and it lived up to the name but the steak was way under seasoned. Great cut, super tender but bland. I tried to add salt but it doesn't taste right with iodized table salt. I then order the pan seared scallops which were amazing! Cooked just right with a tasty slightly spicy sauce to complement I would go back if in the area again. It was a really nice restaurant, I just think they need to do better with the steak and potatoes entree. Too much money not to enjoy

    Here for early dinner tonight. Filet with mushrooms and asparagus perfectly prepared. Tender like the best steak house. Excellent service from Melinda at the bar.

    Pretty decent steak with a $47 price. A big wow factor is they torch it in front of you. My husband didn't like the taste of the char but I thought it was cooked to perfection and tasty. I took a star off for ambiance - kind of noisy, table was a bit sticky and service was hectic.

    Tried Wildfire in Modesto for date night with my hubby and it was... a mix. We went in expecting more of a dinner-date vibe, but the game was on LOUD, giving strong sports bar energy. If you're there for the game, perfect. If you're there to talk, maybe not so much. Getting seated took a bit, and when we asked for a booth we were taken to a table instead. We asked again and were told there were no booths available, even though we could clearly see a few open ones, which was a little frustrating. Now, let's talk about the highlights because they matter: The drinks were really good, would come back just for those. Food was great, solid and satisfying. For me, it was just too loud for date night, but I wouldn't write it off. I'd come back for drinks, a casual night out, or when I'm in the mood for a livelier vibe. Great food, strong drinks, mixed signals on the vibe -- date night? maybe. drinks with a buzz? 100 percent.

    Another nice date night with my husband at this establishment. We were greeted and seated right away as we arrived around 4:30pm before the Friday night rush . Our server Nathan was very nice and very attentive. Our drink order was taken right away and our appetizers came out in a timely manner. Our food was delicious as always !! Thank you Nathan for making our Friday night dinner extra special after a long work week !!!!! Kudos !!!!!

    Flaming Ribeye, it was so tasty.

    Great experience at Wildfire Public House. They were really busy, so I honestly expected mediocre service, but shockingly it was great. Our server Kai was attentive and friendly the whole time. The flaming ribeye was incredible and definitely the highlight of the meal. We will absolutely be back.

    Brunch menu items we had were Brunch Menu items: Avocado Toast and the Potato Nests. Very delicious!

    Service was tough. But it is okay because it's a Sunday. Ambiance was good. We received the best service from the bar while waiting for our table to be ready. Erica was very efficient in getting our drinks ready and our meals served to us! Great food and good service despite being very busy! We will be back!

    Birthday surprise!

    Fun place for drinks and appetizers. The entrees also look amazing, and they're huge portions. Service was really good. Drinks and food came out quickly. My cocktail (Wildfire Colada) was delicious! I liked that our server was able to split our bill by family. Tip was already included so that was cool. She was super friendly and patient. Ambience was great! Welcoming and good for large parties.

    It's Lit Margarita with Casamigos was the best!
    Magda G.

    Made reservations but didn't need one at 5:30 PM since it was pretty empty at the time. The bar was pretty full though. We were sat promptly and greeted. After ordering our food came out power quick too. Our server was attentive and checked on us often. I had the Bahn Mi Chicjen sandwich. It was really good and filling. The fries were perfection. The salmon with quinoa was copies well and flavorful. Overall great experience!

    Ben B.

    Had an hour to burn between meetings, decided on this place randomly -- Met dawn and i knew i was in good hands. Ordered the vegetable lentil soup for appetizer and then the salmon as entree. Just a good spot. Salmon was great, pricing fair, and dawns service at the bar was top notch I'd come back here in a heart beat -- especially for that ribeye i was eyeing!

    Cheers

    Had such a great time at Wildfire Public House! It was the perfect spot to catch up and unwind.The food was honestly a pleasant surprise for Modesto--everything was really flavorful and well done. It actually reminded me of something I'd expect from the Bay Area, which says a lot.The atmosphere was lively and fun, and service kept up well throughout the evening.The only caveat was the music--it was pretty intense, and it sounded like the speakers might have been a bit off or blown near where we were sitting. The music itself was great, just came across a little distorted.Overall, still a solid spot & relaxed with elevated food. #WildfireModesto #buzzybooth

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.

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 bartender, Amy, we actually sang "Broken" by Seether & Amy Lee together at karaoke here a couple weeks ago, pours with care.
