8 Best Bar & Grill in Chico

“I rode my Schwinn Corvette Beach Cruiser Bicycle when my buddy: Izzy Taylor gave me, and he gave me my Ape Handle Bars for my bike. I brought my bike inside of Oasis Bar and Grill and I park my bike in the back & I having my glass of Coke and Basket French Fries 🍟 and Cheeseburger 🍔. I love Oasis Bar and Grill & I love my friends and my buddy too. they are good people. & good bartenders too.“

“Kind of sad when a business faith is dictated by reviews dating years and years ago. Kind of like herpes, if I may, they never seem to disappear, specially when said reviews are detrimental and no longer apply to the present.
Finally I went to this poorly rated establishment for their Taco Tuesday Special at $1.25 each.
I should add that previously someone brought to our place the Monday Special, Burger night, which at this day and age must admit was unbeatable and rather tasty. The kind of special that defies all odds. Also, previously as well had their Wednesday Chicken Wings Special. That one, sadly, a fiasco. Super dry wings, devoid of all appeal, but for the money the quantity was decent.
Anywho, Tackle Box simply rocks, and from the looks it distinguished itself as a truly unique scene. Staff reeked of good manners and friendly demeanor, which I must confess, truly appreciate. The shower singer in me wanted to get up on their stage and make a fool out of myself. The square footage truly mind altering, and the one question nagging me was: why the few and not so good comments? The bar alone is quite a sight!
Tacos: small but loaded, easy to devour but please no less than 6, or will wish it had been. Salsa, meats, sauce, not shabby at all. Staff, as happily mentioned, nice as can be. Restroom particularly clean and originally decorated. Heard Happy Hour beers run for $4 a piece? If so, it would take quite a few to tune ? up.
I thank the good man that drove us there. Karaoke Night Sundays? Buzzed enough I see no reason why I would not make a fool out of myself, God knows over the years I repeatedly have in good fun. Johnny Rivers “Poor Side of Town” seems about right. Tackle Box is an original, and from what I heard, the ownership which dates back and crew deserve plenty of recognition. 1 star 6 years ago, 10?
Hello? How about recently, after all, this is no simple predictable place. Music does rule. 4.5 Stars.“

“I recently had an incredible dining experience at this barbecue spot, and it exceeded every expectation. The moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt warm, inviting, and full of that authentic smokehouse charm that sets the tone for a great meal.

What truly elevated the visit was the exceptional service provided by Sierra. She delivered a level of hospitality that was both polished and genuinely caring. From offering thoughtful recommendations to anticipating what we needed without ever being intrusive, her attention to detail made the entire experience feel seamless. Sierra’s professionalism, upbeat attitude, and knowledge of the menu made a strong impression and added tremendous value to our visit.

The barbecue itself was outstanding—tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Every plate showcased rich, smoky depth and quality you could taste in every bite. Paired with their delicious sides and generous portions, it was a memorable meal from start to finish.

Overall, this restaurant delivers top-tier barbecue with service to match. Sierra’s remarkable customer care made the experience truly exceptional. Highly recommended for anyone looking for excellent food and standout service.“
