We pulled into the Rivets American Grill because Abalone Pete has a hankerin for one of the gals there. It's been some time since he's been there, and he says she wasn't there but I think he lied to me because he didn't want me to see her. We had about an hour and a half still to drive before we got to the cotton fields so we filled up with some pretty Awesome food! And let me tell you something...the stuffed chicken breast was beyond Amazing! 5 stars and worthy of a two hour drive! ☆☆☆☆☆

First impressions hard to navigate entrance (sure even with the lights blinking). But we get we found the door and entered. There was a singer in the back tooting out some county tunes, and the staff got us a seat. Idk where they found the host, but somebody clone him for other places, this kid was hilarious and very engaging. The waiter was just as interactive and on top of service. 1st time attending and now probably our favorite pub stop in modesto. Oh, and whatever you do, get the house chips. Their dip with it is amazing, full of flavor with a small kick. Def gets your taste buds dancing if the music doesn't.

Came in for Father's day and there was no wait. The tables were clean and Justine our server was awesome. The food is a bit pricey but overall there is a great selection and some unique twists on burgers and tots.

I have not been here since it first opened. I decided to come back and try it out. I ordered a Blackberry Hard Apple Cider and it was sweet with good flavors. I had the Turkey Cranberry Sandwich with Fries. The sandwich had smoked Turkey, cream cheese, cranberry sauce, pepper jack cheese, lettuce, tomato and onion. It was very delicious. I also had an ice water with lemon. The server was really nice and very attentive. My only advice would be not to wear cologne while serving food.

FIRST of all our service was over 5 stars, the whole staff was upbeat and friendly! My daughter and I were super indecisive so we ordered what our server Stephanie recommended. FROM the drinks to appetizers, I have to say were also over 5 stars! I’m a ppl person so when we walked in I can tell it was gona be an amazing experience. The Pork Belly Sliders were flavorful and not to thick, also the right amount of toppings inside, OHH and the cheese sticks, NOT mozzarella but CHEESE sticks were great, I personally will not do mozzarella sticks anywhere any more!!! And the drinks were not too strong or too sweet, your bartender ROCKS!!! Thanks Rivets, your boss should proud you all and himself for putting a great team together in a family friendly atmosphere! CHEERS!

Big burgers that are delicious. Mine was the "Fancy Burger" 🥇 with garlic fry's 🥈. Seemed very fresh, garlic was strong. Other burger was "The Flying Hawaiian" 🥇 with onion rings 🥉. We prefer beer batter onion rings as these had a ton of breading. My Fancy Burger actually had beer batter onion rings 🥇. So all in all it was good meal, with music playing and the game playing on the TV. We will be back

This was our first time here. The service by Val was fantastic. The atmosphere was perfect. Loved the food. We had the meat sweats and the Memphis burger. The drinks were phenomenal. Will definitely go back.

Hubby and I found this place on Yelp. We were looking for something open a little later but not a full-on bar. We were pleasantly surprised they had live music. The atmosphere was relaxing, the service was great, and the food was awesome. We definitely plan on going again. Really enjoyed it.
