We have been to Brighter Side before and have always had excellent food and service. I enjoy the atmosphere and like eating on their patio and listening to the water feature. They have friendly service, and the food quality is excellent! I enjoy the Christine sandwich with added Turkey… I remember to take a picture half way through the meal. The salads are excellent too. Reasonably priced and healthy!

There are many great places to eat here in Modesto. The Brighter Side is one of them and has stood the test of time!! I ordered the Genora sandwich that had roast beef, avocado, lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese. It’s a warm sandwich and very delicious. The people here are very friendly. I highly recommend Brighter Side! I will definitely return for lunch here. BRING CASH 💰. They don’t accept cards.

Update nov 4th 2024 - visiting Larry getting a quick meal excellent Genora's chef salads and some Martinelli's juices A must have Modesto favorite. Have been eating here since 1982 and the recipes and services are identical from the first day I visited. Dave and Larry and crew thank you checking in on the crew grabbing some great food everyone looks great

WARNING: CASH ONLY. Oh my gosh, what can I say about this place? It's so unique and neat. You go through one side of the building to order, which isn't much to look at, and then you go to the other side of the building to pay, pick up your order, and eat. It looks like a huge converted barn with a tin roof and lots of foliage and vintage decor. Reminds me of the 60's, very natural and earthy. A hippies dream. Unlike any restaurant I've ever been in. Very rustic. There is a patio as well for outdoor dining. I always say I would love to eat there on a rainy day to hear the rain drops hit the tin roof, but I have yet to do so. Moderately priced, decent sandwiches. Second on my list of sandwich shops next to The Sandwich Shop. Very relaxing atmosphere, always a crowd at lunchtime, but they are super fast and very friendly. Just don't forget...

Brighter Side is, a quaint little sandwich shop. Located just across the street from Wells Fargo Bank. I've been eating here, since 2006. You can ask them to build your own sandwich, or order what's on the menu. Add some chips and a drink and your comfortably full. I love the (Dean), it's so delicious . I also love the outdoor atmosphere on the patio. All the plants, the calmness, a very sweet staff that makes just what you want. Even though you are downtown it's like a hidden getaway from the hussle and bustle of everyday life. I feel like I can take a deep breathe and relax when I'm there. I recommend, "Brighter Side" to anyone, that wants a great sandwich and...

Will never go back ever. no one said hello or anything. There was two lady's in front of us. They waited for about five mins before ordering. And he said hello lady's and took the order. Ok so and my son are up we wait another 3 mins still no word. He says order thru that door and and points at a door off to the side and says come back in here to get your food. All of this and still no hello sorry for the wait or anything. Didn't even make eye contact to us just directed his voice towards us. I'll never ever come here agian. And it's out...
