What restaurant chains in Modesto missing?
Is it Chick-fil-A? Cracker Barrel? What about Jersey Mike’s Subs?
The Modesto Bee asked you — our readers — about which restaurants you most want to come to Modesto. We’ve received more than 75 submissions.
Here’s what you voted for:
Which chain do Modesto residents want most? Chick-fil-a
The results were clear: Modesto residents want to see a Chick-fil-A location more than any other restaurant chain.
More than 20 readers voted for the chicken place, known for its signature sandwiches and waffle fries.
“We need one desperately,” Modesto Bee reader Lauren Savage wrote to The Bee.
“I hate having to drive 20 minutes to Manteca and the spot that would be perfect for it would be where they are putting yet another In-N-Out off Oakdale and Sylvan,” Savage said. “We also don’t need another McDonald’s either.”
“(I’m) tired of driving far for my fix,” another Bee reader, Kylie Joe, wrote “There needs to be one closer.”
Though Chick-fil-A has no plans for a Modesto location anytime soon, a new Chick-fil-A is set to open in Merced — which is about a 40-minute drive from Modesto.
