Twin Rivers Saloon - Modesto

Good food and fun place to let kids run around in the large back yard area. Family always enjoys visiting there.

Honestly better than I expected with the food. Had the chicken breast sandwich w/fries. Very tasty. Fries were delish hot. It was my first time here. Came for Blue Line and it was an event for vets who rode in on Harley's. They were slammed and not enough help. it stressed me out watching one person in that little kitchen line up 7 sandwiches and prep them! Needed 2 people and not enough bartenders in front bar. I liked it felt like an old dive bar. And the outside was nice. they should have made the concrete dance floor bigger!! Who wants to dance on grass in any kind of heel?? c'mon. and the restrooms were horrible. Almost slipped going in that tight little hallway w/all that water. out of toilet seat liners in one. but, I get it... not enough employees on hand to tend to everything. how bout when you know you are having an event... put down some mats in that bathroom hallway? extra toilet seat covers? I have to say.. whoever the clean cut blonde with straight hair who doubled as a cook.. was amaaazing. So nice! She was under a lot of pressure but still managed to acknowledge and deliver w/smile. Can't say that for the rest of the crew who had their cheeks hangin out their shorts : pretty much acted like they couldn't hear you. she could only hear the men. lol. Oh well.. won't stop me from seeing blue line play there. I'll eat first.

Decided on this place for dinner via DoorDash. The food was packaged well. I ordered for the family. We started off with potato skins (3 pcs) more like half of a backed potato, bacon, green onions sour cream. I prefer my potato skins thinner and crispy, these were not. Hamburger and fries, my mother in law said it was one of the best burgers she has eaten and the fries were good. My wife ordered shrimp tacos (3 per order) each taco had 3 shrimp and some kind of slaw. Per my wife she thought something else could have been added. But did say they tasted good. I ordered fish and chips, 3 good sizes of rich, perfectly fried. Came with 2 sides (I ordered fries and a salad. To my surprise it also came with Cole slaw. Fries we good, salad was good with homemade croutons and the Cole slaw was just ok. The order was suppose to come with tarter sauce it did not and with fish and chips some malted vinegar packets would have been nice.

What a dive. I loved it! Amanda greeted us from behind the bar as soon as we walked in. Immediately took our orders even though the place was busy. Cold cheladas in hand we ordered burgers. One with seasoned fries, the other with onion rings. The burgers were perfect and delicious and even had branded buns! The appetizer of cheese curds was crispy and cheesy with ranch and marinara dipping sauces. The decor embraces its dive roots with dollar bills hanging everywhere and a pool table in the middle of the space. There's a huge outside area with a stage for concerts and games. I felt immediately relaxed and satisfied hanging out here for an hour. The only criticism is the bathroom. It needs some maintenance if not a renovation but it beats a portapot which they also have outside which can accommodate the crowds they draw here.

This restaurant has a fun atmosphere with a dive bar feel, but it is surprisingly clean. The tacos and gizzards burgers are excellent, and the staff is friendly. It may be a bit off the beaten path, but it is definitely worth the trip.
