Latif’s Restaurant & Fountain 1960 Sticker

Sitting in the heart of the valley between the Modesto and Merced at the intersection of State Route 99 and State Route 165, Turlock, California is a small town with a decent-sized population – close to 70,000. Latif’s Restaurant & Fountain opened their doors in 1960 in the heart of town on Golden State Blvd. and has been in business under several owners and a minor name change or two ever since. From the authentic ’60s decor and world-famous pies to a chair where George H. W. Bush once sat and classic American fare, not much has changed in six decades and that’s just how people like it.
