“Great place for brunch but pretty expensive. Hash browns are $6 and don’t come with your order. The biscuits and gravy are the best we’ve ever had. The bread was amazing. Fantastic food“

“We held our wedding here in October of 2025. The owner and staff were truly so invested in our event and everything went perfectly. We had several planning meetings with the owner where we were able to customize the restaurant setup and the menu for our guests. We rented the entire restaurant, had a three course meal (with 3 different entree options), open high-end bar and wine/beer bar on the outside patio. They cleared out the inside dining room and set up a charcuterie buffet for our guests and let my friends come an hour early for setup. The staff was SO amazing the night of our wedding - special shout out to host Mike, bar tender Zach, and the server who got on the dance floor!

We chose this place to host our wedding because of our multiple good experiences beforehand, but we were unprepared for the excellent service we received from beginning to end. The cost was VERY reasonable and I have recommended the place to many people for personal dinners and events. Their 'sister' restaurant Rione is also AMAZING !!

Love you guys!“

“I always judge a bar on the cleanliness of their bathroom. Joe's Bar has one of the cleanest bars in downtown Chico. It is always stocked with the essentials. The owner is super nice. The bartenders are great at what they do. I will definitely be returning.“

“I was cautious when I saw the review rating at 3.8. That must have been from years ago because the waitress was very polite and timely. She made a great recommendation for the pistachio crusted salmon, which tasted like a great fresh home cooked meal - something sorely needed after hours on the road. Very conveniently attached to the hotel, and open late.“
