My favorite place for a classic breakfast in Chico. Great atmosphere, amazing service, and delicious food.
I like their scrambles!

I stand by the bacon cheeseburger, wedges, and vanilla milkshakes. As a creature of habit I always order the same thing here and it’s all delicious. The ranch for the fries is also good and not some bottled junk full of soybean oil. And if it is, you wouldn’t be able to tell.
On the other hand the service is 50/50. The men are significantly better waiters than the women. The men are pleasant and to the point while the women tend to be phony and emotional. The difference between your emotions and your feelings is you showing them to everyone around you. Feel however you want but don’t put your emotions on display at your job. Especially when people are just trying to have a decent meal. I say this as a person who has been frequenting this establishment for years and I seldom see new faces working here.
Lastly the bathrooms are vile. If you can hold it, I recommend doing so. There’s no telling when the drains were last cleaned, but the smell is telling enough. Yes the bathrooms are also dated, but the level of cleanliness is the real issue. The lack of airflow and fresh air circulating is a major contributing factor.
The kids’s meals are meager and overpriced. Truly no match for any of the competing restaurants in the area. Most kids menus serve children 12 and under but not here. If you’re feeding an athlete/athletes especially if they’re in multiple sports then I suggest ordering from the regular menu.
Parking all depends on the time you arrive. The restaurant closes at 2 PM which is around the same time the junior high school across the street is let out for the day. This parking lot is a popular pick up destination for the kids. There are also several other businesses in this plaza and a few of the parking spaces are reserved exclusively for one of those businesses. Either arrive closer to the opening or closing time. Otherwise it is very likely you will have to write your name on a clipboard and wait to be called. The wait times can vary, but if you plan on dining with an elderly guest, you should know that the seating near the front entrance is extremely limited.
I recommend this place if you just want a good burger to go. The kids meals are like a snack tray. The bathrooms need some freshening up. Above all else the ladies need to leave their baggage at the door. Especially the older brunette. It’s been years and we all hear your gossip, fake enthusiasm, and overall poor attitude.
If you do go here be sure to read about the restaurant’s history. It’s entertaining to see how many time the name and ownership have changed over the years. Makes a person wonder what it will be named next.

We were just visiting the area and this place was recommended to us. What a great find! The menu was delicious classic American diner style food in a really fabulous vintage building. Loved it. Kept hoping to see roller skating waitresses!! Highly recommend.

It’s a diner there’s no atmosphere to speak of but really good food. I always get the California omelette or the garden we th vegetaters and the two delicious muffins and the French roast coffee

There was a reason this place was so busy, the food is outstanding! Free parking available, inside and outdoor seating, and breakfast and lunch items in the menu. We were seated promptly by friendly and efficient staff. We appreciated that they would accommodate separate checks. A great variety on the menu, two of us went for omelets, the St Thomas and the California, and the third person got the Bidwell egg. Each came with a choice of potatoes or hash browns and a choice of bread items. The food arrived fast, fresh and very hot. First, the portions are very generous. The potatoes were crispy golden brown and the omelet was perfect, no watered down eggs. I brought a little more than half home to eat later. I opted for the muffins as a side and they were delicious. The service was outstanding and we will return. Tips- order an extra side of bacon because it is amazing! Carpool or be prepared to look around the shared parking lot if you go at a peak time. Bring your appetite, you won’t be disappointed!

Both mine and my wife’s breakfast was absolutely DISGUSTING, chicken fried steak was soggy and just tasted like a hamburger patty, hashbrowns were burnt and somehow still soggy , the omelette had no flavor at all , with the price of food today you cannot help but be upset, waste of money only good thing was the biscuit , service was good food was repulsive, checking this off our list of breakfast places in town.

Food was very good, bacon is tasty and thick, maple syrup is real maple syrup. The service was truly exceptional. We sat at the bar and every waitress, during a very busy Sunday morning, was absolutely spectacular and I don't say that lightly. The way they train their team should be spread across the country, the service was that good.
