Bookies

We’ve eaten at Bookies Bar & Grill several times. We have even gone there and watched a UFC fight or two. The food is fantastic, service is always great, and beer … umm, I guess its beer. Go to Bookies for a great meal or to just relax while you watch a game.

It's definitely the place, if you want to go out to drink and chill. Love their theme nights 💯, I'd have to say my favorite was beer pong.

Service is great! Toni and Jenni are awesome. Different happy hour every day with cheap drinks. Good food and open late

Stuffed mushrooms were insanely good!

Bartender willing to make surprise drinks for me. Great atmosphere. Had the 49er game on. Outdoor seating protected from rain.

OMG is all I can say. With all that is going on I have ordered take out from a lot of restaurants. I have been very disappointed. However Bookies food was awesome!!!!! Service was very quick food was fresh and hot. What was even more special was the hand written note saying thank you for your support. To them I say thank you!!! Your food and staff are awesome can't believe I waited this long to see if you were still open. Love you guys can't wait till your open for the fights again.💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Great atmosphere, great drinks. Food is delicious!! Some of the best burgers in town!!! Chicken Ceasar salad is unbeatable in my opinion. You cant beat different daily drink specials and games/activities going on!

Typical bar food, burgers, beer, sandwiches etc. Food is great and drinks are cold, a nice bar that definitely gets popping at night, Wednesday nights are Karaoke nights which are fun to get up and sing. Every day they have some type of special, whether it be beer or food.

My husband, and I visited here for the first time last night. We had an outstanding time!! The security at the door was so friendly, and helpful. Also patient lol (he was talking to people when we walked up, I thought it was just a small group of people chatting at the door, didn’t realize we had to see him before entering, didn’t even realize it was security, and I went to open the other door to enter, just thought you walk in like most places lol. He was very patient, and nice when he told me I had to see him first) I felt so foolish because I didn’t even realize haha. He was really nice, and made us feel welcomed. The drinks, and shots were amazing, and all at a fair price! The bartenders were all so friendly, and attentive too. Even with it being so busy, we never had an empty glass! It was crowded, and everyone we came in contact with inside, was really nice, and fun. Loved the jukebox too, good music! We sat up at the bar, and really enjoyed ourselves. This is our new spot, and we will definitely be back! All the employees, servers, bartenders, security are so amazing, and friendly! The restaurant was clean, and neat, as were the restrooms. So happy we decided to stop in last night. See you again very soon! Thank you, for your hospitality! I’ll also be reviewing on Yelp

I've been ordering from here delivery!! Such good food. Well I ended up doing pick up last night. I ended up eating there. Great vibe. In great food. That staff is awesome! I'll definitely be back for in person eating.

Cool place went on New Years Eve to have a drink. It was a nice place and the food was good. Great service.

Brenda is the best bartender ever!!! been goin here for almost two years. she's always so pleasant and she makes the best drinks ever. it's always so c hill there and we have a good time every time!

My husband loves the oysters here. Drinks are great & the thing that keeps us coming back is the live band. The band is GREAT!! We're always singing along and enjoying the atmosphere. It's always a great crowd, we always end up meeting new people here. Very chill vibe. 😎

The food was excellent! If I could give it 100 stars I would!! 🥰

Jennifer was amazing! Food was delicious and service was exquisite. Definitely a great place and vibe!

These guys were great. I have celiacs, a gluten allergy, and they baked my hot wings and french fries just so I could eat. I really appreciate that as it's really hard to find good food.That's gluten free. They went out of their way to do this for me. The food was excellent! I highly recommend their hot wings and french fries! Delicious!

Great atmosphere. Singing, laughing, drinking 🍸 🎶 . Fast service on drinks. Staff members are chill.

Went on Taco Tuesday last week but the tacos didn't have any flavor...also the menu is misleading my husband thought he was ordering deep fried mushrooms and fried shrimp INSTEAD it was mushroom/shrimp tacos and there were bland as well. But we look forward to Karaoke Wednesdays 😉

A very nice friendly place. Good food. Daily Drink specials. Excellent Bloody Mary's. Outdoor seating with wall tvs. Nice atmosphere. There is security there a certain times of night. 11/27/2022 update..49ers vs Saints, Raiders vs Seahawks, and Chiefs vs Rams. Beautiful day out on patio, good people, good food. And of course 🍺.

Nice spot but no seating. But a very nice place to hang out.. was there for UFC main event amd unfortunately no seating. But qill love to tey another time.

Pretty busy on St. Patrick's Day. Food was good, but most lights inside were off, making hard to even read the menu.

I always agree that eating at local restaurants is the best choice. This place garlic fries are the best one I'd ever had. Unfortunately, I ordered the COB salad, but did not have time ,so packed to go, after got hotel, opened it, it's grilled chicken salad 🤯🤯

Dropped off and picked up people here. Popular place for the young and the old.

This would be a great bar if not for the owner. He has driven me out by verbally abusing his staff and now I generally avoid the place, and just leave when he is there.

This place needs a mechanical bull

*Crude thug employees*. - I was absolutely shocked when one of the staff approached me- threatening to physically assault me if I didn't finish my drink immediately and called me a disgusting cuss word (four letter). This was just after the bartender had served me (last call)- saying I could have a moment to finish my drink. This was completely unprovoked. I hardly said a word to anyone to that point when this man threatened me. I informed them I would finish my drink then leave immediately. He stared me down as I drank it and before I could finish said it had been a minute already (more like 15 seconds). The bartender was even visibly upset by his behavior and took him aside to consult. I was disgusted and repulsed by his behavior which was insane and 100% uncalled for.

We Google a few bars in Modesto CA so we can have a few cocktails from the street view looked appealing. We were served quick. Last called was announced the manger was quick to take our beers and mentioned we had 5 minutes to leave while other customers were at the bar drinking. The bar tender apologies and stated the manager was just having a bad day.

I feel like maybe I caught on the wrong day, but I wasn't impressed. The server was friendly and accommodating and the food was OK. However, what makes me give it two stars was the lack of cleanliness. The menu was moldy like it got wet at some time. When I mentioned it, the server just put it back. The salt shaker wasn't wiped before giving it to us. It was to the point that we were afraid to go to the bathroom. If you are looking for you friendly neighborhood dive bar, where you really go there to drink to the point where none of the above matters, then you won't be disappointed.

Was looking forward to a nice dinner, an hour and a half later Leigh asked where is our order, the waitress said it should be coming, when we decided to get up pay for our drinks and leave, here comes our food. And the waitress said “What are you going to leave without paying for the food”. Leigh said, “Its been way to long and you should tell your customers how long it’ll be”. We didn’t even have our appetizers, they came after, it all together took 2 hours for all of our food, worst experience ever. Staff said no management or owner were available.

My family and I waited for an hour and a half. We were very hungry and we were going to leave but i convinced them it would be worth the wait it was not. The wings were mediocre and the rest of the food was good. I give them.👎The appetizer was brought out after the dinner.🙁Total wait 2 hrs.

This review is only for the karaoke night. Came in hoping to get a song in, but failed. I placed my name and song on the app like the flyer said. DJ was finishing the round. Name never showed up, i though that's understandable. Next round repeated same singers, name didn't show up and was like what? Last round came by, name finally got up there and then when it got close to my turn, he took my name off so that the people after me (who already sang) can sing again before closing. That was wack lol. Needless to say, disappointed I drove there just for karaoke and waited about 2.5 hours only to get cut off 😞. Again that's review is more for the dj. The place itself is nice and I've been there before. Bartenders are good as always.

First & will be my only visit so I asked two men next to me what is best; so I ordered the Philly Cheese sandwich. Having only 30 minute meal break I got less than 10 minutes to eat as my order took a long time & place was not very busy. And "food" NOT WORTH THE WAIT... the cheap white bread bun had a lot of onions & peppers with a little [most of it edible] meat & a hint of cheese! I prefer meat without unchewable gristle in it plus meat with noticable flavor. Then to add insult it took too long a time to get bartender attention for the bill. Reminder it was not busy! Heck I could of & now realize maybe I should have just left instead of waiting to pay AND I STILL tipped 20% ... go figure! Please do me a favor & try another place like Fast Eddie's MOAB [which closed just minutes before I could have gotten to it] or others nearby [closer to Hwy 99] like a place I saw that specializes in fish & chips.

We went here for lunch and we ordered food and to wait 50 minutes. Before I had to ask about our food. The bartender then asked did you order food. I told her you took our order. She says let see what is going on with your order. She comes back and says it's coming out. Everyone else get food but me.i won't be eating here again.

It was horrible and when I tried to address it with the owner. He clearly flipped me off and brush it under the Rog. and didn't do anything about it. Horrible? Customer. Service especially coming from the owner because the bartender was by herself helping all these customers at once.

It's my first time here at bookies and I'm very disappointed!!!! It took 20mins for one Modelo and I'm still waiting to order another one....I would understand if it was busy but it's not even busy. Sorry bookies you lost a customer!

Beware of this place. The owner Daniel Martin gave my under age son alcohol, tried to start a fight with my son while he was working in the kitchen. The owner went outside and busted my son’s front mirror. My son made a police report & Daniel fired him even though he was at fault. Labor board and BBB will be contacted Monday morning
