“I've been here a few times now and the experience has always been great. The food, the service, the atmosphere, all perfect. Whether it's just my wife and I or a group of 10+, they always manage to handle things perfectly.

I particularly love to sit out on the back patio on a nice evening, they sometimes have live music which gives the best vibe for a nice dinner.

Their menu changes, not too often mind you, so what I've had may or may not be on it when you go. In the 3-4 times that I've gone, I've ordered different cuts of steak that might be available at the time and they're always cooked perfectly and well-complimented with the sides.

It's one of the classiest places to dine in Chico, excellent for a date night or a low-key celebration with friends and/or family. The personal touches are all over this restaurant and the owners are wonderful hosts with an excellent staff.“

Golden Beaver Distillery - Park Ave Still House American •

“This place is brand new and has local specialty whiskeys and blends.I had a Manhattan made with their special rye and it was fantastic with a mild smokey flavor I'd never experience before.That's not the best part. The barbecue sandwich they serve with pulled pork is absolutely fantastic. I mean that sincerely because I never generally order pulled pork barbecue but I thought I'd give it a try. I would say there is no equal.Give the place a try it's really cool.“

“4.5 Stars do not give this place justice. Even though it was packed and there was a line of people waiting, we were seated in 15 minutes. The server was great, the food came out quick, and was super delicious. We found our new breakfast spot for sure.“

“Holy cow that was a good burger! I had a bacon burger and my spouse had the mushroom. We split both burgers and they were both excellent! The mushroom, though, was definitely my favorite of the two.

The fries were great, the house sauce was great (I got the spicy) but the reason we'll be back is for the burger.

Well done!“

“A fantastic little diner clearly run by management and staff who really care about their clientele. Everything tastes great and there's clearly returning customers welcomed warmly at the door, which makes the place feel very earnest and hospitable. I'll gladly keep returning to this lovely spot! :)

Vegetarian options: There's definitely options for vegetarians - pancakes, French toast, omelettes, etc. But I am unsure about the vegan options to be honest.

Parking: Parking is located best to the restaurant and continues behind it - there are lots of spaces.

Kid-friendliness: Seems kid-friendly, as most diners do.“

“Great cheese steak. The wife and I really enjoyed it and the portions were huge. We both brought home half our sandwiches and ate them the next day. Great staff, great service and great setting. Will be back.

Parking: Easy parking, even at dinner time. Pulled up and parked right in front.“
