Wildfire Public House - Modesto (CA)

5 /5 B Ty: Saw this place on IG and went for lunch on my birthday to try it out. The food is pricey but I’m aware everything has gone up so it is what it is. (Over $100 for 2 people no alcohol). Reagan was our server and delivered sensational service and made my first experience incredible. Great food, clean atmosphere and top tier service from her. She was super informative, friendly, and attentive. I don’t live in the area but it will be worth the drive to visit again. Thank you Reagan! :)

5 /5 Michelle Ricklick: It’s Friday night and you are looking for a place where the food is phenomenal, the service is impeccable, and the atmosphere will make you feel like you’ve walked into “Cheers” where everybody knows your name! WildFire Public House is THE place to be! Don’t be fooled by the “small town” of Modesto…this place rivals the 5 star restaurants in the Bay Area! Best part…it’s in my backyard! If you are anywhere within a 50 minute drive, you MUST make it in to try one of the dozens of signature dishes that will make you wish you could come every night!

3 /5 Lisa Ly: The atmosphere of this location is beautiful, though once seated, it felt comparable to being in an Applebees. We also felt like the waiter kept forgetting about us, leading to lapses in service. ​I ordered the sushi tower, which was delicious; all the ingredients paired really well together. The seafood pasta was also delicious, however, the sauce became unbearably salty toward the end. Perhaps there were too many capers, but it was still good overall. ​I also ordered the espresso martini. After one sip, it literally tasted like watered-down vodka chocolate milk. Thankfully, I was able to send it back and got a bourbon jet, and that was delightful. ​Dessert was just okay. I got the red velvet cake, and it was extremely dry, but the waiter did a wonderful job writing "Happy Birthday" on the plate. ​Prices on certain items were reasonable, but some were insane—for example, the $16 watery espresso martini is egregious. While the food was good, I probably would not go back and would instead venture into other restaurants.

1 /5 Raeleen Acosta: My husband took me for a Birthday Celebration, with a tab of over 200$ I would expect a delicious meal. It was the worst food I have ever tasted! The so called filet mignon had no flavor, it was dry & rough! The risotto was the most disgusting thing I have ever tasted in a restaurant. My husband tried the rack of lamb, he only ate 1 piece. I would never recommend this place to anyone, save your money you can get a better steak at Sizzler!! Such a waste of money, my dog enjoyed the meal!!

5 /5 David S: I had heard about Wildfire and driven by it a lot but never inquired or stopped. Someone suggested it to me so I looked at the menu online and was surprised and the offerings. I’ve eaten here twice now, the first time in January 2025 then again for a birthday about a month or so later. The service was really good, and the interior seating is nice. It’s very large inside and there are different areas, including a bar. They have TVs with various sports playing if that’s your thing. They have a diverse menu with lots of options. I really like lamb so I had to try that and it was really good. The desserts are phenomenal. Everything I ordered was really good (see the photos). Everything is also very reasonably priced. I have told several people at work about this place and I highly recommend it.
