The Brass Tap — Restaurant in Modesto

This is my fourth visit here, and every time I’m impressed with the food, service, and vibe of the restaurant. Would definitely recommend!

Vibe: The restaurant has a laid-back vibe similar to Yard House, has 50+ beers on draught, and a solid food menu.

Beer: I’m a fan of IPA’s, dark beers, and wheat beers, and they’ve got plenty of all of them. Every time I go, I try new beers that never disappoint. Also, they have several ciders, which I really enjoy as well. (Happy hour is from 3-5 PM on Mon-Thursday — you’re welcome 😉)

Food: Vegetarian options are somewhat limited, but every item I’ve ordered from the menu (veg and non-veg) has been fantastic. The menu is a bit smaller than some similar restaurants, but it’s not necessarily a downside; I personally feel that they do fewer things, but with higher quality than similar restaurants. Whatever you order, I trust you’ll be impressed by.

Service: I typically go on weekdays for lunch, and the same server has helped me every time (a blonde gal). She’s super friendly, always has a smile, and makes sure the food/drink/napkins/etc are never in short supply. I would request her if I didn’t always get her by default. You’ll receive solid service, for sure.

Dessert: i think they have a lava cake/cookie thing, but I haven’t tried it, which means I have to go back again to try it. Oops — looks like I’ll have to make lunch plans...

Wow what happened!! Today we went to celebrate Father's day. The waitress was great but the food really was bad today. We ordered a grill cheese with fries which the fries and sandwich was stale. We also ordered the stake tacos with flourr tortillas and corn chip. The chip where so hard and over cooked that you could break a tooth, and instead of flour tortilla they bought corn, which they did change to flour. Sad, the last meal we ordered was fries and shrimp which i always ordered when we ate there. The fries I which was another disappointment 😕. The fries where oily and cold and there was half of fries and shrimp that the orders usually are. We also had to sit and wait for the food that we could not eat was 2 hours and all they could say was sorry. This was upsetting because we all of us could only eat 1/3of the food and they did not even offer to correct our orders. Well they made there money and we left having to go somewhere else to eat. I would no refer anyone else there anymore. We have no desire to return there again. But then we might decide to try one last time in the...

"I'm done with that place. The staff acts friendly until there's a problem with the food. I ordered a Guacamole burger and sweet potato fries to go, but when I got home, the burger was completely raw inside, and the fries were undercooked. The buns were soaked in so much guacamole and BBQ sauce that they were falling apart. When I called to complain, the server tried to blame it on the food sitting out too long, which is ridiculous. I even pointed out that I live across town and had proof of the order and call times.

The manager then told me I couldn't get a refund unless I brought the food back, even though I had already said I was. When I got there, another server was shocked at the state of the food. The manager tried to claim it was okay to eat raw ground beef because theirs was "premium," which is completely false and dangerous. I told her I wasn't going to take food safety advice from a server, especially when I have friends in the medical and culinary fields who know better. She accused me of being rude, but I was just correcting her...
