Sarom's Southern Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.3 (744) • $$

"Southern cuisine being dished out by my Asian sister from the South in the Arden area! She whips up some good authentic southern cooking. I even had coworkers and friends from the south I recommended this place to and they stated it's legit southern meals. they all become a regular lol. :) I tried most of the menu and everything is so good! I especially love the fish fry.Do come and try for yourself the best of Saroms Kitchen.One place I will stand beside. But make sure to order early as they close in the later afternoon."

Best Lumpia

★★★★☆ 3.6 (582) • $$

"I was craving something different for lunch and happened to be in the area today. Stopped by and ordered a 20 piece shrimp lumpia pack. 15 minute wait, not bad at all for the yumminess that was coming. While I waited inside for my order the music being played in the restaurant was nice and made the wait go by so fast. Upon arrival of my order they came out fresh and crispy. The hostess/cashier was very nice as well. Long story short , the lumpia was delicious full of flavor and crunchiness. Sauce was good. I added sriracha because I like it spicy and I'll definitely return sooner than later."

Velvet Grill & Creamery

★★★★☆ 3.7 (403) • $$

"One of my favorite breakfast spots! Ever since I tried the combo #3 with the French toast, I can't seem to order anything else. Fish and chips were also really good! The service is always amazing and although it does get busy, you get seated very quickly."

Bag o'Crab

★★★★☆ 3.8 (367) • $$

"Still my favorite place to eat in Modesto. We typically order the head-off shrimp with Louisiana "little bit" spicy, garlic noodles, Cajun fries, mango habanero wings. Louisiana sauce is finger-licking delicious. Garlic noodles, I've noticed sometimes vary in portion size.. if visiting during a busy time the portion seems to be smaller. But flavor wise always taste really good, they have just the right amount of garlic. Cajun fries nice and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The wings are all flat type wings which is a huge plus. And the mango habanero sauce is not quite as spicy as Buffalo Wild Wings sauce, but it does have a good kick to it. I would say it's more sweet than spicy. Make sure to ask for their spicy mayo sauce for your fries. Every so often I'll order the snow crab legs which never disappoint as well. Aside from the great food the service is always 10/10Our favorite servers are Lisa & Claudia. They're always friendly and make you feel as if you're family when we come in. This place gets really busy especially on weekends. The best time to visit is week days during the day time. The music can vary depending the day you go. I've heard Spanish, 90's, pop, all kinds of different generes."

Bruno's Italian Cuisine

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (453) • $$

"Party of 8 (4 adults, 4 kids ages 4-12) Came in after the Sunday lunch rush. We were easily accommodated. Food was delicious and service was excellent. Waters were always filled and warm complimentary bread at the table.Half & Half pizza - the cheese and pepperoni was a hit for the kidsLinguine with clams - fresh and scrumptiousPollo Alla Bayou - did not disappoint. it was yummy with the right amount of spice.Chicken Alfredo with Angel Hair instead of Fettuccine- tasty and not too heavy. dish was devoured.Risotto Della Casa - Savory. Pretty heavy so we had leftovers of this dish.Definitely coming back to try the otherdishes!"

Milk & Sugar Creamery

★★★★★ 4.7 (204) • $$

"Tracy was the halfway point for my cousins from Stockton to meet for lunch, and we got Milk & Sugar Creamery for dessert. My oh my this long held bookmark was worth the wait. I think I would drive 28 minutes no traffic to visit again LOL. The flavors are super potent and you get unlimited samples! I got the taro with mochi and horchata (single split scoop) after sampling them, and I wish I sampled more!! Mochi bits were still soft, and I loved the strong cinnamon flavor in the horchata. I tried my sister's sakura ice cream and it was a little too floral for me, but she liked it the more she ate it. You can purchase pints and pre-scooped ice cream to go as well! The games are fun to play since the boards are stuck on the wall and the pieces are magnetic, so it doesn't get too chaotic. I was obsessed with their floor that looks like marble ice cream lol. Service was cheerful, patient, and friendly. Next time I will try the cookie butter and honeydew!"

Ice Cream Emporium

★★★★★ 4.6 (194) • $$

"Best Ice Cream in Central Valley. Place was packed with families after church. Milkshakes and ice cream were incredible. The service was super quick for having that many people. Highly recommend when in the Ripon area. Also, decorations for Christmas were super detailed creating an awesome environment."

"It tasted so good! The lady is a good service. Someday I go there again. I ordered a Mint Chocolate Chips milkshake."

Swirl On the Square

★★★★☆ 4 (242) • $$

"I love Swirl!My friend and I go here pretty often, as it's kind of a "halfway" meetup point between our two cities, and a great place to hang. It's such a good spot- great ambiance and good prices. I love that they have live music coming back again after a COVID hiatus, and everything is spread and distanced super well. Prior to COVID, there was even more seating and it was fun to have communal picnic tables and such. They have a good selection of reasonably priced wine, and I also LOVE the sangria and the sangria slushees when it gets hot!The food is interesting to me- some of it is really high quality, and then some of it feels like they just opened a grocery store package and microwaved it. That's probably my only knock on them- for the price of the food, I'd go somewhere else in DT Livermore and then come here for my drinks afterwards. The only downside is that sometimes there are drunk morons there with poorly trained dogs who get up in your and your own dogs' space. We've had more than one occasion where someone has let their dog stretch 20 feet away from their table on their retractable leash and come get up in our business (Livermore has a very strict 6 foot leash law, so besides being rude, it's a breach of the rules). This happens pretty much anywhere that's dog friendly so it's not really a surprise, but it's worth a word of caution if you aren't a fan of dogs, or have a dog of your own that isn't a fan of other animals in their face."

Dessert European Cakes & Pastries

★★★★☆ 4.2 (196) • $$

"I highly recommend putting the cheesecake and red velvet in the microwave for 13 seconds to really expose the flavors. Truly loved it, and they had more available at the store that isn't shown on Grubhub.Great for gifting and if you want. High quality bakery. Super nice staff, plenty of parking , small storefront. Look like you can use them for a good birthday or wedding cake also.Probably the highest quality bakery in Modesto."

"User friendly mobile app and friendly employees. I really enjoy the different flavors one can try every week."

Crumbl - Tracy

★★★★☆ 4.3 (134)

"I like crumbl on days I'm craving a cookie or something fun for dessert. The cookies I have gotten multiple times have been great and some were basic but that's the fun of this place. You get to try new weekly flavors with family or friends. The service is nice and welcoming. The place is nice and clean inside. I appreciate how you can see the set up and how they make the cookies. The price for minis is almost 9$ including tax. For what you pay, the sweet treats are filling and sometimes you don't even need to eat a whole cookie."

Tandoori Flame

★★★★☆ 4.2 (104)

"My bf and I got there two hours before they closed, and we're told to sit near the windows so they could clean up a spot for us to officially sit at. Wait wasn't too long, and we already knew what we wanted. He got the chicken tikka masala, and I got the butter chicken. We also got naan, and they were so warm and perfectly fluffed enough to open up and put some chicken in there. Portions were more than enough for the both of us, and came in these neat metal plates. I got mild for my dish, because I know I can't handle the Indian spice, and he got the spicy one. The waiter was funny, and asked if he wanted the spicier one and my bf was like uhm, nah. It was laughable, since it felt like the waiter was jokingly sizing him up to see if he could take the spicier dish. Welp, he could not. Food: SO GOOD. SO F GOOD. Best we've had, and we've gone to several places in the Bay Area. This place beats anywhere we've gone so far. It took a little while, but so worth the wait Employees: Only had the two guys who bussing tables and serving, and they were pretty chill in the sense that they didn't swing by to our table so often that it felt like they wanted us to leave. Bathroom: clean, y'all. and pretty nice mirror on your way to the bathroom. locks works fine, too, and it's styled like the rest of the place. Vibe: calming, slow, and chill. Type of place to take your partner, a group of friends to catch up on life, or your in-laws."

TeaSsert

★★★★☆ 3.7 (92)

"Always come here with my girlfriend when we can since it's a little far from our house. The tiger brown and ubechata are our favorites, one of a kind and so delicious. The young boy is always there helping us- he's super nice, quick, and holding the shop down. Would recommend to family & friends any day. The shop itself is supper dope, a lot of board games and seating, little toys, macarons, claw machine, foosball table, and funko pops. 20/10"

★★★★☆ 3.5 (92) • $$

"It was very tasty! We had the goat and lamb with two types of nan bread along with rice! My brother is said it had to rank in his top ten! And he loves Indian food, traveling the world! He has eatin at the Mint Room, Chettinad Restaurant, and even the Shahi Pakwaan in London Kingdom... now he had to help me with the spelling, since I didn't know any of these places. He said anyone that reads my review and frequently visits Indian restaurants will know! Definitely will return when in the area! Igofish2day!"

Taqueria Chapala

★★★★☆ 4 (60) • $$

"Second time I've been here and it's the better Mexican food I have found around Brentwood. I absolutely love the Chapala off Balfour too. This place is bright and clean with beautiful colorful decorations. They have tv's so you can watch sports while you are here. Food has been good 2/2 so far. Last time I got chilaquiles, this time enchiladas. Simple good food. The server was very attentive and nice. If you want fully authentic Mexican food then cook at home. I was hungry and was waiting for my car and this place doesn't disappoint. Will definitely be coming back."

La Michoacana Plus - Tracy

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (70) • $$

"Great place to stop for a quick treat! The service was excellent. Love the decoration is super cute. So many authentic flavors to choose from. We end up getting watermelon and strawberries and they were delicious. Kinda reminds me a bit of gelato."

Las Delicias

★★★★☆ 3.5 (44)

"This is my favorite taco truck in Modesto! Their carne asada burrito supremes are large and packed with high quality meat (not fatty meat) fluffy Spanish rice, flavorful beans and the perfect amount of sour cream and cheese wrapped in a large jumbo flour tortilla that's lightly grilled. Their cucumber water is to die for and the truck in itself is vibrant and clean. You will always be greeted by friendly workers who go out of their way to make you feel at hone, often memorizing your order and even calling you by name. Highly recommend this spot, it hits the spot every time!"

Desi Flames and Sweets

★★★★★ 4.8 (10)

"This is my new favorite Indian food spot in Turlock. I used to go to Punjab Express but the quality hasn't been there. I have tried all the spots here in Turlock and this one stands out for sure. I had the chicken tikka masala and my mom had the butter chicken. Everything was really flavorful."

Frosty N Burgers

★★★★☆ 4.4 (11)

"The food at Frosty N Burgers was great!! I'm glad we have this on this side of the town. We ordered a couple items. We got a patty melt, double bacon cheeseburger, grilled cheese, fries, and cookies and cream Oreo milkshake. The pattymelt was great, it had avocados, two hamburger patties, grilled onions, and cheese. This is hands down the best sandwich on this side of town. The bacon cheese burger was great, flavor was on point, and there are large slices of bacon on it. My son's grilled cheese was good, he liked it and wants it again. Finally, the Oreo cookies and cream milk shake is worth it. I would come back over and over again just for the shake. Crinkle-cut fries were bomb.These guys are on point, each combo came with a huge drink, and everyone was friendly."
