9 Best Barbeque Restaurants in Chico

“Last Friday, we came by to rent a storage unit and ended up staying for a late lunch at CJ's. What a hidden gem in north Chico! It's no frills counter service, with a large dining room, and open kitchen. I appreciate being able to see the clean kitchen & prep area with my own eyes. I ordered a grilled chicken salad - it was huge, overflowing with tons of fresh toppings. The staff was hustling through a rush, and yet they were all so attentive and nice. CJ's is a Pepsi establishment, which makes my Diet Coke loving heart a little sad... but the food more than makes up for it. Now I need to time my storage unit runs around lunch hour so I can work my way through the menu! A burger will be next :)“

“Absolutely some of the best food in town right now and I stay that LOUD. Every time I've had this it's incredible, and the prices are amazing for what you get. Best Mac and cheese, amazing lemonade, highly recommend you try the brisket but all of the meat is 💯! Friendly service on top of all that, treat yourself and support this spot.“

“The Beaver has very nom drinks. They usually sell whiskey and moonshine, but Bella there is an awesome bartender and makes you feel at home. This is also another bar that does allows dogs (or cats) on a leash. The food they serve here is amazing as well. Very good place to visit for a drink.“

“Always see this place is busy never tried until today, glad I did! HUGE portions, good sauce, great chicken and beef. Every meathead should be coming here right after the gym. Walked in when the line was almost out the door, took me less than 10 minutes to get my food. Definitely coming back“

“YUMMY FOOD!! Philly cheese-steaks are good! I have had many yummy items from them. Fun fire truck too at the events. Never disappointed.“

“five for five. Good as it gets.“

“Addie is a really great person. She is always working hard to make sure everyone is taken care of.
The Gojo Market has lots of good snacks, sandwiches that are exceptional, barbecue, and it even has ice cream. I rent trucks from her frequently and she’s always very on top of it.
Thanks Gojo Market!“

“I think their restaurant is permanently closed and they only do catering now, but I wanted to leave a review because these guys and Mo's were the best BBQ places in town and now they're both gone. Honestly, I actually don't think there are any BBQ places left now. This place was amazing, 10/10 and their meats were always juicy on the inside with a nice char on the outside. They will be sorely missed.“

“While visiting our son this weekend at Chico State, we found this hidden gem 💎 Sunday morning football was on, and brunch was being served! Atmosphere was great for game day 👌 Our son lives around the corner and he said he'd be back!“
