Reviews for Bookies Bar & Grill in Modesto, CA
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 samesingers, 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 myturn, 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'sreview is more for the dj. The place itself is nice and I've been there before. Bartenders are good as always. Read more
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" NOTWORTH THE WAIT... the cheap white bread bun had a lot of onions & peppers with a little [most of it edible] meat & a hint ofcheese! I prefer meat without unchewable gristle in it plus meat with noticable flavor. Then to add insult it took too long atime to get bartender attention for the bill. Reminder it was not busy! Heck I could of & now realize maybe I should have justleft instead of waiting to pay AND I STILL tipped 20% ... go figure! Please do me a favor & try another place like Fast Eddie'sMOAB [which closed just minutes before I could have gotten to it] or others nearby [closer to Hwy 99] like a place I saw thatspecializes in fish & chips.

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 ofpeople chatting at the door, didn?t realize we had to see him before entering, didn?t even realize it was security, and I wentto 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 Ihad to see him first) I felt so foolish because I didn?t even realize haha. He was really nice, and made us feel welcomed. Thedrinks, and shots were amazing, and all at a fair price! The bartenders were all so friendly, and attentive too. Even with itbeing so busy, we never had an empty glass! It was crowded, and everyone we came in contact with inside, was really nice, andfun. Loved the jukebox too, good music! We sat up at the bar, and really enjoyed ourselves. This is our new spot, and we willdefinitely be back! All the employees, servers, bartenders, security are so amazing, and friendly! The restaurant was clean, andneat, as were the restrooms. So happy we decided to stop in last night. See you again very soon! Thank you, for yourhospitality! I?ll also be reviewing on Yelp Read more
