The Bussdown

COULD NOT FIND IT .... KIND OF Used Goggle Maps to direct Me from Brentwood , the address is a O'Riley Parts Store parking lot , with a Taqueria truck on it. I hung out and went back back-and-forth from 2 o'clock until 2:30 , and tried calling the number several times that's on the Yelp app, but it was a disconnected number.... So we ended up Leaving that parking Lot , and going to 1533 Oakdale Rd # A, Modesto, CA 95355 and some Very Good Food.

Really amazing and delicious food!!! Ordered the shrimp and fish with the mac and cheese was sooo delicious!!! Honestly some of the best shrimp I've had in a while the fish was rly good too it was seasoned v well !! My mom got some yams and she said they were divine overall 10/10 will be back asap

I've been looking forward to trying soul food for quite some time since there aren't many places in the Central Valley that serve it. I was excited when I found The Bussdown on Instagram last year and have been waiting in anticipation to try their food ever since. I noticed they started posting on their feed again and was excited when they announced that they'd be open from 2pm-7pm. I attempted to call in my order but had no response. Determined to try it, I drove to their site and saw they were still taking orders, so I got in line. When it was my turn to be helped, I was informed their fryers were down. They had other options, so I ordered the brisket, candied yams, + mac and cheese, and for dessert, caramel biscoff banana pudding. The total came out to $31. The lady that took my order said it would take about 20 minutes. 40 minutes later she informed me that they were just finishing up with my order, but they ran out of caramel for the dessert. When I finally got the food 5 minutes later, I took it to my car and gave it a try. I was disappointed off the bat. Apart from the food being lukewarm/on the colder end, I felt like the price I paid was not worth what I got. The Mac and cheese was not like anything I've tried before. It tasted like it had gorgonzola cheese which was not what i had expected/enjoyed. I thought the yams were tasty but lacking a punch. The brisket was tender but either needed to be seasoned a bit more or have more bbq sauce. The biscoff banana pudding was primarily Bananas, whipped cream, biscoff cookie and butter with a little bit of banana pudding.I really wanted to like the food but was disappointed with the whole experience.

Is this place still open? I've called and looked for this place, and the phones go unanswered and the food truck is missing.

Delicious! Deliciousness! Delicioso! Must try! Will love!Tried them out for the first time today, and I'm glad I did . Ordered the Family meal with pork chops and the Zariyah's Golden fried wings. Everything was very flavorful and perfectly cooked. I absolutely loved their corn bread muffins. I'm glad I found them , and can't wait to try more items from the menu.

Wow. You can't get this kinda food anywhere else. The smothered pork chops are to die for.

SO SO SO GOOD. Flavor in every bite. Really nice people, good customer service! This is my new go to spot.

Food was really good! I can't wait to try other options! I suggest this place if you're looking for soul food in Modesto

First off I have been eyeing this place on IG for a while! I've viewed their posts of their plates & have been so excited to get my hands on a plate! contacting them was SO difficult , neither numbers are reachable so there is no choice but to pull up lmao. - I was expecting what was shown in the pictures of "the atlantic" and was disappointed when i received my food ( after 1 whole hour ) , wrapped (barely) in aluminum foil & takeout hotdog plates... I paid around $60 for two plates and was amazed that I couldn't even get a serving to get me full, or even in wrapped Tupperware... You can see how i felt bamboozled as well when other guests in front of me and behind me were handed takeout plates & mine was .. this.. I didn't want to judge based off looks so I still tried the food! I will not comment on anything other than the fact that everything was under portioned & over priced , & the wait was so long for barely any food. the end.

My organization catered to this business for an employee lunch in commemoration of Juneteenth. I am very impressed with their food! I highly recommend their chicken and waffles.
