“Had the pleasure of trying Vally’s pizza since they’ve started with new management 😁. I was informed by a very helpful staff member that they make all their dough themselves, and the quality shows!!! Fluffy, crunchy, and not too much grease 😁 definitely in my top 5 for pizza here in Chico!!! Wings also had a nice crunch, yummy buffalo sauce. We will be back…!“

“The food is great. The atmosphere is lacking. I dont care about the different tables & chairs. It is thd CLUTTER. It makes the place Feel dirty, even though it wasnt. It is better to have bare shelves than to have a bunch of junk on them. Please declutter. Everyone should try their food, it is nice to have a restaurant to go to for.different flavors & at affordable prices.. I will be back!“

“Absolutely amazing. The owner who slightly resembles Dweezil Zappa went above and beyond and helped us have a better Easter for our family gathering. Have enjoyed coming here for years and will do for years more. Thank you so so much. If you live in Chico you have to hit up the nook and if you don’t then you should stop while here and take some with you. Absolutely delicious every time.“

“If you’re looking for pizza in Chico at a great price. Westside Pizza is where to go. We got two large pizzas for the family less than one pizza at any competitor we could find in Chico. Plus, they taste better. Highly Recommend!!!!“

“Great food! Nice atmosphere.“

“The food was delicious, service exceptional. Everything is fresh, made to order. High quality Indian food. I highly recommend this place. I was at first disappointed that the buffet was not there. I ordered the chili chicken and garlic naan. It was wonderful. So full of flavor and I had plenty to take home for another meal.“

“Great food! fun atmosphere. Sipho was super nice. Staff was friendly. You feel very welcomed and at home.“

“Every Sunday I get take-out to eat with my husband and mom. We have the same five places on repeat...I decided to try Pho Bonsa and I was floored by how delicious the broth was. Complex, flavorful, real. Sometimes you can feel food acting like a medicine (for your soul, if not your body); sometimes you can taste a story in a food. Thank you Pho Bonsa. We will be back!“

“I love Red Tavern! The atmosphere is the best, Whether you choose to eat inside or out. Cozy, quaint and inviting. They often have music on their beautiful patio which is fun!
The new owner always greets people like they are important and old friends. The wait staff is Great! Friendly, knowledgeable and very attentive to their customers,
The food!!!! Unique choices that are always good and filling.
Excellent choice for fine dining!“

“Delicious food, good prices and great service. Amazing Butter Chicken!“

“Great chill environment and love to sit outside with my dog after a morning in the park.“

“Customer service was absolutely phenomenal, i didn’t know what to order and they helped me choose what I wanted. I’ve never had Mediterranean Food but I have to say it sooooo good. They gave me extra dolmas to try and it did not disappoint. 10/10 will come back more often“

“🌊 Big Island 🏝️ Hawai’i Hawaiian Rodeo riders, rappers, ropers, and cowboy poets 🤠 prefer your 9% IPA 🍺 🐎 Hoping you might help us celebrate #PeaceDay on 9/21 as we stand up for peace at Noon 🕛 Bull 🐂 riders have been seems shotgunning an Atomic TORPEDO Imperial IPA 🍺 before their rides which 🤷‍♂️ i don’t ride bucking broncos, bulls, nor women, but I drink the same beer. IPA is a lot like cilantro 🌿 polarizing! You probably LOVE it or BLUCK!!! I love hops, and Atomic delivers the most hoppy taste 👅 For people who prefer IPA’s i bet their Atomic Torpedo is better than what you think is good NOW. Quit settling. Try better. Here on Big Island 🏝️ earlier today i asked Sierra Vista distributor delivering to LongsDrugs how or why Sierra Vista IMPERIAL IPA 🍺 is: How come THE very Best IPA we have on Island, yet it’s less expensive by a quarter than that poser beer? Joe 🗣️ Family owned 👋 🛻 💨“

“One of the places that truly defines Chico for me. Excellent staff, great drinks, solid tap selection, and the best fish tacos in the world!!“

“Always great food, friendly service and of course great beer!“

“Love this place. Can't miss it whenever my son comes back to Chico.“

“Sitting outdoors is not quite my vibe even with the misters but I absolutely love their pizza, calzones and breadsticks. The only time I was disappointed was when I missed my drumsticks which they corrected at a later date. ? I just recently tried their hamburger pizza and it was absolutely delicious!“

“Now thats what I call an egg and cheese bagel!“

“Great food and they use high-quality ingredients. Highly recommend.“

“I had the Rambling Rose juice this morning at the Wednesday Farmer’s Market. It was absolutely delicious!! So fresh and bright. I highly recommend it.“

“Great staff,service & juice! I was “sick” and the smoothie made me feel better!“

“Super dog friendly! I love taking client dogs on the patio😍“

“Terrific catering experience for my daughter's wedding. Pizza was delicious, wings were a big hit and the salads were amazing. Wedding went great and we had some left over for morning pizza. It was a beautiful day. Thank you for making it go so smoothly.“

“OMG, I can't say enough "good thing's" about Big Tuna! Excellent service. My waitress was super friendly, fast, and efficient. My table was promptly cleared after each course by either the waitress or busboy. ...and those Japanese Taco's; can't get enough of them! Also, I love the fact that I can pop in to the store and pickup the Big Tuna Hot Sauce for home!“

“By far the best pizza spot in Chico. It is pricey but they use local ingredients and if you hit the farmers market on Saturday mornings chances are you’ll see the owner filling his wagon with local produce. Our favorites are the Green Goddess salad, Nanny Goat pizza and East Coast pizza. Like others have mentioned service is not fast. The salads come out almost right away but I think they have a ton of to-go orders because pizzas can often take more than 45 minutes (even on a Monday night). They have some toys for kids to play with and high chairs so we love that. Last night they seemed pretty overwhelmed; there wasn’t enough clean silverware and the water jugs were both empty. But the food was delicious as always.“

“So yummy and fresh Can’t go wrong plenty to eat lots of yummy different types of teas.“

“Fast and taste great tasting pizza“

“Thomas was the best employee ive ever met. Very polite, and for the first time of anyone ever....said think you when I tipped on the pin pad, I always feel like why did I even do it! Lol. Thanks Thomas for the gluten free idea, I got a good amount of chicken in there for my workout later“

“Always delicious, fast, inexpensive and amazing customer service! My whole family loves this place“

“Best burger I've ever had in my life. No exaggeration. Not sure who's in the kitchen, but he or she is special. Very fresh, accompanied with a saurkraut salad and a pickle. C'mon man...Most reviews are written by cousins or people who had one too many cheap beers and don't know any better. Not this one. I am a seasoned traveler and have eaten everywhere. EVERYWHERE. I would get on a plane and fly here Just to eat at this place. Awesome experience. Handlebar. Check it out.“

“I'm not gonna lie.....the outside and parking are pretty sketchy. If I judged this place by its location alone, I probably would've driven away. But once you walk inside, it's a completely different story. It's clean, welcoming, and the staff are some of the sweetest people you'll meet.

Now for the important part, the food is INSANELY good. Hands down some of the best Vietnamese food in Chico. Everything tastes fresh, flavorful, and worth every penny. The food alone is enough to make me come back, no matter how rough the outside looks.

Don't let the location fool you. This place is a hidden gem. 💎“

“Hands down, some of the absolute best food and cocktails in town. Christian’s menu + Franco’s mixology skills and humor make a long day at work easily forgotten. This is my Cheers with WAY better “bar food.” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

““Alternatives” too the norm.“

“Always treated like a king here!“

“Best of them all. My go to beer“

“I have to go to this place every week now. Ordering is easy, convenient, and you don't have to talk to anyone if you don't want to (huge win for quiet people). Despite the small space and limited menu, the food and drinks hold up to the quality you'd find at the main location. You may have already driven past this place a few times, and especially if you work on this side of town, you should try it out.“

“I am beyond impressed with Aca Taco. This place was recommended to me by friends who have been everywhere and are super selective—who said this place has the best authentic Mexican food in Chico. They were right. This is seriously the best Mexican food offered in Chico! I had a graduation party for my cousin with about 15 people to serve. I placed a lengthy detailed order online the day before for scheduled pick up on Saturday, and I got a huge discount for being a first-time customer. Their customer service is phenomenal—personable and helpful. They knew exactly who was picking up and all about the order. And we pretty much ordered a little bit of everything. The serving sizes were incredibly large, and everything was so fresh and cooked to perfection. I will be ordering again, and again, and again.“

“Original East coasters here…….this was by far the closest thing to East coast pizza we have found! Excellent!“

“Everything. It’s perfect. The redwood sandwich co. That’s what’s on my mind Facebook. There’s a few places in town I will always visit. If you haven’t been here yet, you’re not trying hard enough. You’re hungry, you need a sandwich that feels like a sandwich. You don’t want one of those wimpy limp sandwiches that you find for $5. You know the ones, with the iceberg lettuce and the bread that tastes like nothing. You want a MANS SANDWICH. You’re not walking around on your twinkly toes. You might wear a tutu, but that doesn’t define your food desire. That’s right. You want mouth feel. You want to put it in your mouth and not talk for at least 10 minutes. You want food that makes everything stop and take pause. You’re grown, but this sandwich makes your hands look like a child. You’re ready to eat. And eat you shall. That tri tip sandwich is dripping with goodness. It’s a feast between two slices of bread. The thanksgiving sandwich makes you wish you spent your holiday here. Pair that with their soups that don’t quit, or their Mac and cheese that stops the world, you’re in food coma and all you’ve done is smell it. If you’re lucky, you’ll make it there when they have a pork belly special. It will turn you. You won’t know what hit you. But you’ll spend the month dreaming about that sandwich. You think you took a nap, but really, you closed your eyes to re live the feel of that sandwich in your hands, and no one had to know that you woke up eating your pillow. It’s ok, your secret is safe with me. Treat yourself. You deserve this.“

“I had a wonderful experience at Grana! I sat on the patio during the transition between lunch and dinner service. Although it was a little warm outside, the service was attentive and welcoming. The food was excellent from start to finish. The gazpacho was incredibly refreshing on a hot summer day, and the antipasti were all fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. It was a relaxing lunch, and I'll definitely be back.“

“Excellent , flavorsome food. We loved it . Will order again“

“Cocodine is simply the best Thai food in Chico. Nobody else comes close. My go to is Panang Curry, beef, Thai hot xl! So amazing! The kids love the Chicken Rama!“

“Great place for a paint and sip!“

“Cómida deliciosa y buen servicio“

“Hawaiian roll is amazing . A little bit hot 🥵 , love it“

“This is my go-to Thai place when I come to Chico to visit my parents. My mom has a lot of dietary restrictions and this place is always accommodating and gives great service. The food is always good my favorite is the Penang curry with chicken. My dad always gets the cashew chicken and loves it. We get the Satay chicken and we love the sticky mango rice for dessert. My mom and I also get their Thai tea what's your delicious.“
