“If you have never been to Roselle's restaurant, make it your next dinner date! By nature, I'm curious and love trying different flavors of food and Roselle's hits the spot‼️ The yuzu sesame salad has delightful new flavors that are different from any I've tasted before. If you like tater tots, you have to try the rice tots! My husband gets the mushroom skewers every time. And if you're looking for a handcrafted cocktail or mocktail, this is the place! After all, it is a bar. So don't come here looking for large portions of comfort food, however, their tomato, Thai basil soup and grilled cheese is amazing. There is plenty to eat and fill up on, but as Scott says it's not restaurant-forward, it's bar-forward. Scott is a great host. He stopped by our table last night to see how everything was. My friend thought her salad was too spicy and he bent over backwards, bringing her two other choices that were not on the menu. All with a smile on his face! Next I want to try their brunch menu 😋“

“First time here at this new location. We had double smash burgers with fries. The fries were fantastic, crunchy, thin cut, with a seasoned exterior that almost reminded me of a thin layer of tempura. They were so good! The burger was equally wonderful. Pro tip use the sauce for the fries on your burger! We topped off the meal with a couple tall cans of hazy IPA from California micro breweries. I'm heading back next chance. They had vegetarian options. Service was spot on!“

There was a man named jimmy or Tina or Timmy or something like that he couldn’t figure it out and was kind of being annoying to the staff . But didn’t bother me none lol. Cool place nice people“

“Sitting here tonight, I realized that I've never reviewed this place. It's my favorite taphouse ANYWHERE. Reasons.... variety. Always changing, and the knowledge of the staff amazes me. They can talked about the breweries and what they offer, with an uncanny knowledge of what would work for YOU.Reason two. Pleasant staff that remembers who you are and what you drink/like. We live 60 miles away, and only can drop in six to eight times a year, and the staff is so kind.Atmosphere. This is not a Chico frat bar. The clientele is working and professional class, nicer stidents, with just the right amount of bright and happy conversation in the background. It's a place to ENJOY an drink and not get smashed.“

“If you are not intimately familiar with this place and a regular patient, then basically I don’t know what you are doing with your life. Carlos makes incredibly good food, the portions are solid, the drinks are delicious and not a rip off, the bartenders are nice and fun, it’s just a great place. That said, the new hours for the rest of the summer are killing me. I repeat, killing me.“

“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.“

“We visited for the first time on Mother’s Day. LOVE that they take reservations and we were able to choose between dining room or patio. There was a DJ and the moms in our party were given fresh cut roses. Our hostess was very knowledgeable and arranged a special mocktail for my sister who is nursing. Portions were very generous, everything was tasty, great value and experience. This will be our new tradition.“

“They have really really good food but the sound management is incredibly bad and the noise is very harsh on the ears. The clattery kitchen noises come through very loud and clear, voices bounce around super loudly, and the music can barely compete. Way too loud even when they're slow. They really need some sound dampening tiles. The back room is slightly better noise-wise, but the tables fill up fast“

“Look. The bar n patio are lovely and the drink menu nearly as uninspired as gratuitous.However....don't go there if you're not into less than friendly, aloof even, staff who attempt to make themselves appear waaayyy more informed than you when you ask for 2 luxardo marinated cherries and he corrects you by saying TWICE" they're Maraschino Cherries"(Yes. I know.)And I guess don't go there if you want a bartender to recommend libations by promoting their specialties or say... Conversing with the customer...Definitely dont go there if a 10$ tip for 2 drinks is too shabby for even slight eye contact from the bartender.and maybe don't go there if u feel like laughing and don't want to be stared at. I dont know.Maybe just don't go there.I'm likely not as there was nothing impressive about it now 3x, and let's face it. I can't feign disinterest and detachment at that level. HahaThey think they know they're better than us.Au re vours Argus“
