Service is great! The place is clean . Not so well lit but still welcoming. They cater for all ages which is great!

Food was amazing we had Harissa Spiced Shrimp and the Chicken Piccata. Both dinners were very flavorful and Lizbeth was the best waitress we have ever had. Lizbeth always checked on us and suggested wonderful dishes! We will be back and definitely request a table with her. Very modern restaurant. read more

Food was so good! My mother in law had recommended the Truffle Mac and Cheese appetizer and it did not disappoint!

Nice seating, very aesthetically pleasing inside and server was attentive :) I wanna come back again! read more

Great food and service! We will be back soon, thanks Jayton, at the bar, all the recommendations were outstanding! Baked Brie, Lamb lollipops, & Short Rib...all very yummy! Our drinks were made great as well! read more

This place came as a recommendation and I was very impressed! My group got the Bruschetta as an appetizer and then the BBQ Chicken pizza as the main. I love a perfectly toasted piece of bread and the bruschetta was exactly that! I also loved the amount of toppings they had. I would have preferred less balsamic because there was a lot. The pizza was thick and big! It was exactly what you would think from a BBQ Chicken pizza and I loved the hot honey touch! We didn't have enough time to check out their desserts but they all sounded SO good, so I'm looking forward to going back one day! read more

I had heard a few rave reviews on the braised short ribs so I had to try it out. It was excellent, great taste and so tender. Great service as usual. read more

Great food a drinks. Went there before a concert. Fresh and tasty great menu, something for everyone.

This was really good! We came at a time where there wasn't a lot of people so they brought us to our seats right away. I gave them 4 out of 5 because I wish the prices were a little better. Overall, good food but it could get pretty expensive for just 2 people. read more

server was amazing, one the best servers I've ever had. will be coming back soon. Food was bomb !

This was our first time going here. The food was great and the ambiance is nice. I got a chicken Marsala and it was very good. I ordered an alcoholic beverage and it came on fire. read more

Our first time here and we were pleased with our food. The salad was fresh and the serving was just right. We were able to avail of the free pretzel when we checked in on Yelp. The pretzel was soft and sooo delicious. I wanted to get my hand on it right away that is why I forgot to take a picture first before taking a big chunk of it. The service is great! Our server was attentive and kept checking on us. If you are looking for a place to bring a special someone, this would be a good place. read more

First time coming to this place. Loved it! Customer service was great. My husband and I both loved our meals. Our drinks were delicious. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

Presentation, quality, & service is always a 12 out of 10!! Great signature drinks, the "It's Lit" is really lit on fire and delicious! I also enjoy their cucumber cooler with muddled strawberries. All of their food options are delicious! The buffalo mac & cheese pizza sounds odd, but is seriously so good & you can't go wrong with the chicken piccata. I WISH they'd bring back the Banana Bourbon cake, but the Butter cake they offer in its place is still pretty yummy & the next best thing. Must try! You'll get addicted, just like me. -Jenn read more

pretty nice place for my first time being here. super chill servers who and quick will getting your food to you. great service amazing food. wonderful birthday dinner read more

Let's start with a 10+ When you are seeking a restaurant to host a large birthday luncheon you try to find an accommodating location. The restaurant needs a suitable size room, food options, bar service and several amenities. I contacted Manager Michael and every request was met with YES we can do that. He and his staff were spectacular from beginning to conclusion. I began conversing with Michael late in June. Our event was yesterday and perfect. So if you need to have a place for around 40 people, Wildfire Public House is outstanding. Our server Kathy was so helpful and accommodating to our groups needs. read more

As a family of 5, this is one of our go-to places to have a nice family time with a delicious dinner. We have been coming here for about 2 years and so far we haven't had a bad experience. Customer service is great and the food is always delicious. The place has a very comfortable lighting, on the soft side, which we personally like. We also like the fact that you can find simple (yet flavorful) and affordable food and also some dishes that are a bit more expensive but great for special occasions. But from appetizers, to burgers and pizzas, to steak and lamb chops, we haven't been disappointed. #WildfireModesto #buzzybooth read more

This is my go to place in Modesto. I love the customer service, the food and the vibes are just amazing. I definitely recommend this place!

I loved the food so much. It was an amazing first experience there and I will 100% be returning again. Beautiful and amazing job. The service was amazing as well! #WildfireModesto #buzzybooth read more

Fantastic service - kinda loud as we were in the bar area should have sat outside but didn't notice until later there was outside seating. Penne Pasta with Jumbo Shrimp was the bomb.

No complaints whatsoever! Friendly, attentive staff. Food and drinks were delicious.. Great menu options! Had the rib-eye and was able to basically get the NY Strip entree and substitute the cut of meat. Also had the Hot Honey Peach Margarita! It came with a fire flame and tasted really good. Our steaks had flames too! Made for a really cool experience. read more

If you're looking for comfort food and a full bar in an upscale, classy, environment, look no further because "Wildfire Public House" has you covered. This is arguably one of the most popular restaurants in the Modesto area and with well over 1,200 Yelp reviews (as of June 2023), it's no wonder that this place has been a fan favorite ever since it opened back in the summer of 2019 (replacing where "Uno" once stood for many years). Since I spent a good portion of the day sightseeing around the Modesto area, I built up quite the appetite for what I was hoping would be a fantastic dinner to end my Saturday evening. I ended up booking my reservations through the Yelp app which were quick and painless. Located directly on Oakdale Rd. and adjacent to to E. Briggsmore Ave., this place was relatively easy to find. The parking itself was not at all of an issue as this larger-than-life building has its own dedicated parking lot. The exterior itself had a very modern, sleek design to it with a neutral slate-gray color that looked impressive. Much of the outside lighting did not make its way inside the building. But the interior of this place is the real winner. I've been to my share of restaurants over the years. Hundreds upon hundreds of restaurants where I look into the designs, aesthetics, lighting, and ambiance. This place is beautifully decorated on all levels. You will find a full bar (beer, wine, & spirits) with TV's in every direction. There are also cozy, intimate booths, big gathering tables for large groups of people, and towards the rear of the restaurant, a fireplace that is visible from many tables. The bright red/blue lighting complete with the high ceilings, modern wooden flooring, and overall atmosphere made this place appear as upscale as possible. After being seated, my +1 and I were given several menus; a standard food menu, a cocktail menu, and a rotating crafts on tap menu. I loved how this restaurant utilized this instead of using your phone in having to scan the QR code (which makes it difficult to read/navigate). Our server, Jayton was also managing the bar area and took care of us from when we got our drinks until we paid and left. And to those Yelp fans out there, just for checking into this business on the Yelp app, you receive a complimentary giant "Wildfire Pretzel" (a $16 value) which was served with a side of warm velvet cheese sauce. We took full advantage of that as our pretzel came out within minutes. It was huge, warm, salty, and delicious. As for the drinks, my +1 ordered a refreshing glass of their Mint Mojito. However, I took full advantage of their tasting flights which was a bargain at $9 for a set of four. And best of all, you are allowed to choose ANY beer on their rotating craft menu. I went with the following four: - "Blaker Honey Babies" blonde ale, 4.5% ABV (Ceres, CA) - "Shadow Puppet Double Lush Nectar", 8.7% ABV (Livermore, CA) - "Mother Earth Cali' Creamin", 5.0% ABV (Vista, CA) - "Trumer Trumer Pils", 4.9% ABV (Berkeley, CA) Now onto the food.. My +1 ordered their "Spicy Fried Chicken Sandwich" ($18.00) which consisted of hand breaded breast chicken, pepper jack cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onions on a sriracha aioli with a side of French Fries. I went with their "Chicken Piccata" ($26.00) which consisted of pan seared chicken breast, lemon, capers, and white wine cream sauce served over cheddar mashed potatoes and green beans. Both of our entrées arrived within 15 minutes as our server, Jayton always made sure our waters were filled up and that our experience was an exceptional one. As far as my chicken piccata, everything was made to perfection. The sautéed boneless chicken had the right amount of tenderness while dipping it in the white wine cream sauce. The potatoes were creamy while the green beans were also very tasty. Even my +1 enjoyed the chicken sandwich. All in all, "Wildfire Public House" absolutely exceeded my expectations. The environment, ambiance, above average service, and overall experience made this one that I will remember for quite some time. With that said and done, I am giving them a unanimous five-star rating. read more

My rating isn't for the food, the food is absolutely amazing! My rating is simply for the portion. We ordered door dash tonight, I got the chicken piccata & he got the banh mi with fries, both tasted AMAZING, but we were both left hungry after... The chicken & sandwich itself seemed to be the normal portions, but the mashed potatoes & veggies barely filled half of their little sections in my box, & my husband only got about a half order of fries... When we're paying this much for a dish we'd at least like to be full after. read more
