In downtown Modesto, there is a food destination that is usually overlooked, even though it is always booming with the newest and trendiest food vendors.
That place is GrubHub, not the app but instead a food truck destination that has not yet been seen outside of Modesto, at least to my knowledge. GrubHub opened up a little before 2019 but the main star that has quickly become a go-to food truck has to be Twisted Pretzels.
Backtracking
Twisted Pretzels started off like everybody else, as just a food truck, but soon grew into its own building with its own seating area and its own shade. They recently moved into their spot last year and since then have done some remodeling from the previous vendor. If you’re not from around here, it is definitely a necessity, especially during summertime because of their sweet flavored lemonades.
Twisties pretzels is my favorite place at GrubHub because the Pretzels taste really good, and when I say really good, I mean the best Pretzels I’ve ever had. The texture is very fluffy on the inside but also almost crunchy on the outside. They know what they are doing in that kitchen and have their ingredients locked down.
The owners are two young brothers who came together with a dream to make and sell Pretzels and they executed that pretty well. I know they are local entrepreneurs and it’s refreshing to see young businesses staying here in the Central Valley and giving back to the community they came from.
The Menu
They have a handful of common or “original pretzels” like the ones you can find anywhere really, like plain, pepperoni, jalapeno but the pretzel that I’m thinking about and I want to tell you guys is their almond pretzel.
An Almond Pretzel…sounds pretty weird huh? It is. The pretzel itself is like a normal plain pretzel but with almonds blended inside. I should mention that all of their menu items are hot and made to order, so you know they will be fresh when your order is ready.
Speaking of hot and fresh things, our summer time sale here at Turlock Self Storage is here! With our “1st Year Price Guarantee” you will have peace of mind knowing that we will not increase your rent during the first year of your stay and our leases are month-to-month.
It’s interesting to think that an offer like ours is normal but it’s what makes us stand apart from others. The same goes with Twisties, the almond pretzel might sound weird and it threw me off the first time I read it on their menu, but it quickly became me and my wife’s favorite pretzel to this day! The combination of the sweetness of the pretzel, and the natural almond flavor is quite interesting and also delicious.
The Sweetest Drinks
If you’re in the mood for something sweet and cold, make sure you check out their lemonades, but I will give you a warning. They are incredibly sweet. I have been told that I have a sweet tooth but even those are too sweet for me. I get a third into the cup and then I have to take a break because my teeth start to hurt!
So if you’re in the Modesto area and are planning to check out something delicious with a twist, make sure you check out Twisties Pretzels out at GrubHub, which is only about 15 minutes from our storage facility here in Turlock. If you do plan on going though, make sure you say hi to Gene, one of the brothers. He is down to earth, friendly and an overall great business owner!
