24 Best Burger Restaurants in Chico

“Love this place!! That’s our spot every Sunday after church.“

“👍🏻🍔👏🏻 excellent cheese burger especially if you ❤️ cheese.“

“The food is always great, I was shocked to see bad reviews because we’ve never had bad food here and order a big variety. The wait staff is always great, and a side note I loved seeing the owners son there, he kept locking the door and it was cracking us up because we also have an autistic son absolutely obsessed with locking doors non stop, seriously for Christmas we just got him a bunch of locks and keys 😂

But I love the family environment, the prices are totally reasonable and the food is always delicious!“

“Great hamburger, the staff was very polite. they have a young man named patrick who does an exceptional job at this place. he calls me by my name everytime i call or come in. and he's super nice when he is behind the register. If there is a points program for the employees Patrick needs to be awarded“

“I ordered their vegetarian burger and fries. It was amazingly delish and flavorful!“

“My first time there, the burgers and chili fries were great.....will come again next time up there (I’m in Plumas Lake]“

“Excellent burgers and shakes! Plenty of items on the menu to please the whole family. The shake options are vast and really good (probably the best around). It's a bit pricey but worth it, imo. The employees are nice and the dining area is clean.“

“Big Chico Burger is officially my favorite burger spot in town. With endless options for customization (burger size, cook temp, grilled toppings, fresh toppings, and sauces) there's something here for everyone. Order time and prices do not align with fast food, because it's not fast food. You're getting grilled to order, all natural, California-grown, certified black angus beef on an artisan-style bun from local bakers. Last night, we ordered two 1/3 lb cheddar cheeseburgers, one 1/3 lb mushroom swiss cheeseburger, the Big Chico Platter (fries, seasoned fries, and onion rings), and 3 fountain beverages. It was ~$60 with tip. It was an all-lady crew last night, and they were working their tails off while still making time for friendly conversation. Aside from leaving with a full belly, I also left feeling like I had had a memorable customer encounter. We've definitely worked our way through burgers around town (Burgers & Brew, The Ranch Hand, etc.) and aside from a very different but equally as delicious burger experience from 5th Street Steakhouse, Big Chico Burger is a standout. They stay busy for a reason!“

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

“I got food poisoning here from the shrimp cocktail and oysters with ceviche. 10 days of sickness... I did call the Health Department when I discovered the leftovers ate through the Styrofoam container.“

“From their lamb burger to their Chicken PHO EVERYTHING on their menu is 🤤🤤🤤🤤 delicious!“

“I was there to see the live entertainment. Two bands played. My friend's band Start The Count Down. Barnaby Jones played to and they were from Portland Oregon. I performed for STCD.I sang Bat Dawg. It's on U-Tube under Matt Savage.“

“Pretty sure it’s busy when all the college students are not on break but it is an interesting place to check out if your passing through“

“Fresh twisted cafe is an interesting place. They have lots of gluten-free and dairy-free options. We got a burger and were disappointed with the 1/4 lb patty on a 17$ burger. I was also bummed that a place that advertises gluten free has breaded fries only.
My cappuccino was great, and my wife loved her turmeric juice.
The staff was friendly and helpful, but the menu setup was a bit eclectic.
There are some interesting pictures on the walls which I enjoyed.“

“So this is the best sandwich joint in Chico, possibly in the whole of the North Valley. Every sandwich I’ve had there (third time going in) has been a masterpiece. Service is, at times, chilly. But think of it as a place back East where no one is gonna hold your hand, and it’ll make perfect sense. Let this great man do his work, wait a little bit, and pay the slightly above average price, and you’ll receive a glorious sandwich that the very gods would be happy to eat. You shan’t regret it!“

“Okay it’s an Applebee’s so my expectations were moderate. I had looked at the menu online so I could opt for light options as I wasn’t super hungry but meeting others for dinner. My companion and I chose the $36 special for two. I took the salmon and he took the chicken. The other two took the same special with one also trying the chicken and one the steak. For our appetizer we chose caesar salad with dressing on the side. They chose the onion rings.
First off the salmon and chicken were delicious and we left feeling like we scored eating healthy meals! Our dining companions let us sample the onion rings and they were AWESOME! Truly some of the best because they were hot and crisp! We held ourselves to one as they are caloric as heck!
All food except the steak was delicious. The steak was sent back and a better one received in about 10 minutes and it was good!
Good service. Good margaritas and quiet for a Friday post happy hour!
No photos as the food looks like it does on the menu.“

“Absolute best experience every time. Tonight was unsurprisingly stellar. I had the Diablo burger, which I modified to my liking. Matthew C (cashier on receipt) and his crew working this evening, gave me the best experience and made my day. My burger was hot and fresh, thick and full of flavor. They were happy to accommodate my wishes and my burger was exactly how I wanted it but BETTER! Super freaking bomb!! Thanks guys😎🤩“

“New location in the parking lot of Spike's Bottle Shop(1270 East First Street at the intersection of Village Lane, caddy corner from In Motion Fitness). Hence the three stars for atmosphere. It is just a liquor store parking lot, but what food truck has nice atmosphere? None I have ever been to.Great food with reasonable prices.I like everything I have tried, which is most of the menu. My go-to is the chicken wrap. The gyro quesadilla is really good, too. It is listed as an appetizer, but it is a large and filling quesadilla.The burgers are also very good, but they have a Mediterranean flavor, so don't expect the typical taste of your standard American burger.The chicken sandwich is dark meat, which I prefer, but I think it is worth noting so people do not expect the standard white meat chicken patty.As far as I can tell, there is only one person who works there(the owner), and he makes everything fresh to order, so I recommend calling your order in ahead of time. It will take 15-20 minutes(or more if you order a lot and/or they are really busy) to be ready. I see this as a plus. Most food trucks have everything premade and simply assemble ingredients instead of making it for you when ordered. I have watched him meticulously plating food with great care. It is clear he takes a lot pride in his cuisine and cares for the customer's satisfaction immensely.The owner is always very polite and friendly and has a very warm and welcoming smile.Solid Five Star food truck, and some of the best food I have had in Chico.I have recommended it to every one I work with. Several people have tried it and they all love it.Don't miss out on this gem of a food truck!

Parking: Plenty of parking in the lot they are in.

Wheelchair accessibility: It is in a parking lot, so it is very wheelchair accessible.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Reasonable price, good food, fast service... what else can we ask for?! The fries have that crunchy outside but somehow still soft inside, my fave! 🙌 Glad we finally made it out to try, and looking forward to seeing you at more events around town!“

“everything was excellent & the service was great as well. I love the atmosphere“

“limited time Sausage/bacon, egg and cheese biscuit is awesome 😎“

“The service was remarkably swift, with every aspect executed in record time. From the moment I arrived, the staff was attentive and quick to respond, creating an atmosphere of urgency that was both refreshing and reassuring. Each step of the process was smooth and prompt, leaving me thoroughly impressed with how efficiently everything was managed.“
