“My Fiance and I celebrated our anniversary tonight for dinner and had Rudy as our server and WOW! He absolutely makes the experience! Everyone was welcoming and very knowledgeable. Food was fantastic and the management is one of the best I’ve seen in! Had a little hiccup but not worth mentioning more. 10/10 recommend and will be back again“

“highly recommend this place. great food at a decent price we definitely be dri ing the hour back atleast 1 or 2 times a month“

“Decided to try this with my family today. Ordered a different entre for each one of us as well as two appetizers of which we all shared so we could get a better idea of what we would like for the next time. What a pleasant surprise! Every bite was delicious and unique! We met the owner Lilli who was very sweet and willing to please. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who likes a casual, welcoming, friendly, and different but absolutely tasty dining experience. Way to go Lilli!“

“Fantastic food at this little Chico hole in the wall restaurant.“

“Very good experience. The Owner accommodated our vegetarian dietary preferences and helped us in the right way ! The food was also very fresh and tasty, would recommend to all.“

“I shared the medium thin crust pepperoni pizza with my 13 yo son and it was perfect 👌 filled us both up. I really enjoyed the extra detail (Parmesan and herbs) over the pie. Unexpected twist and really brought the flavors together. Atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Young lady at the counter is polite and friendly and the gentleman, who I am assuming is the owner, is very nice. Feels like home and has a small town feel to it. Will definitely return. Thanks guys☺️“

“Even a cowboy’s gotta stray from the coast now and then, and when I did, I ended up at Ali Baba in Chico, where the gyro plate made me feel like I’d stumbled into a Mediterranean chuckwagon dream.

That lamb and beef? Thin-sliced, perfectly seasoned, with just enough crispy on the edge to make every bite count. Laid over a bed of fluffy golden rice, it was practically begging for that cool, creamy tzatziki and trust me, they didn’t hold back. The hummus was rich and smooth, and the fresh chopped salad balanced out the plate like a well-packed saddlebag.

But what really sealed the deal? The stellar service fast, friendly, and full of good vibes. They treat you like a regular even if it’s your first time. And at just $13.99, this kind of quality and portion size feels like robbery… the good kind.

So if you’re wandering inland and your boots need a break, make your way to Ali Baba. Take it from the unofficial Cowboy Duke of Almost Everything on the Mendo Coast this place is the real deal.

“I rode my Schwinn Corvette Beach Cruiser Bicycle when my buddy: Izzy Taylor gave me, and he gave me my Ape Handle Bars for my bike. I brought my bike inside of Oasis Bar and Grill and I park my bike in the back & I having my glass of Coke and Basket French Fries 🍟 and Cheeseburger 🍔. I love Oasis Bar and Grill & I love my friends and my buddy too. they are good people. & good bartenders too.“

“If you love authentic Mexican food this is the SPOT! The staff is amazing and they have so many wonderful options to choose from. Parking is nice for big trucks even if you have a trailer which is nice for us in the construction field. Give this place try, and thank me later!“

“Authentic Jamaican food, Fantastic atmosphere/great Vibes! 🇯🇲“

“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.“

“Best of them all. My go to beer“

“I've eaten here twice now and it's been so good each time.“

“The grilled spam musubis are absolutely addicting especially with the suace! The breaded crispy chicken is very good, tender and crisp! Friendly service,fair pricing along with generous portions. The Musibis for me are the flag ship of what's offered,simple yet very satisfying.“

“Always great food, friendly service and of course great beer!“

“This is our go-to spot whenever we find ourselves traveling through Chico. Our favs are the asada salad, albondigas, and Super Molcajete. The steak on the asada salad is SO tasty, all you need is a little lime juice for dressing. Light, filling, and delicious. Their 'hot' salsa is delicious, and they have really good, creamy flan and tasty micheladas! The staff is always friendly and accommodating. We have taken a large group of people twice, and both times they exceeded expectations.“

“Love this place. Can't miss it whenever my son comes back to Chico.“

“I have been a huge fan of the basque style dining. Basque Norte is a shining example. The food is amazing! The steaks melt in your mouth. The service is exemplary. You must experience it.“

“Delicious food, good prices and great service. Amazing Butter Chicken!“

“We were randomly driving through Chico and wanted to find the taco shop. This place was a delightful find! The chicken was cooked in marinated very well, the hot sauce was fresh and delicious, The service was quick and nice and the ambience was cute and colorful! I definitely recommend it!“

“Easily the best pizza in Chico. Can't beat buy one get one free!“

“The food was fresh and delicious. I’m always nervous ordering fish away from the coast, but This was outstanding! The gentleman taking my order very patient and very kind. I’ll definitely be back. I highly recommend as a traveling sales rep that eats everywhere. Give it a try if you’d like healthy eating.“

“Cocodine is simply the best Thai food in Chico. Nobody else comes close. My go to is Panang Curry, beef, Thai hot xl! So amazing! The kids love the Chicken Rama!“

“Always treated like a king here!“

“One of the places that truly defines Chico for me. Excellent staff, great drinks, solid tap selection, and the best fish tacos in the world!!“

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

“Sitting outdoors is not quite my vibe even with the misters but I absolutely love their pizza, calzones and breadsticks. The only time I was disappointed was when I missed my drumsticks which they corrected at a later date. ? I just recently tried their hamburger pizza and it was absolutely delicious!“

“We had the privilege of dining @ Grana while visiting Chico in August & it was phenomenal, like always! From the delectable appetizers to the main event, Grana never disappoints! Grana prides itself on supporting Chico Certified Farmers Market & they carry that pride in each & every dish they create! Wish I could give 10 stars! #superb #local #woodfireoven #chicoca“

“Not for the first time we catered a dinner from La Familia. They never disappoint, always serving up fresh and yummy food. A big salad, enchiladas, queso dias, rice and beans, chips and salsa with hot sauce and sour cream. We were stuffed!“

“Best Vietnamese food in town, without a doubt. Their vermicelli bowls are amazing and their pho is delicious. Their Thai tea is great and their spring rolls are the best because they use fresh mint and herbs(my favorite). Peanut sauce is also a great addition. Service is always quick and simple. :)“

“I love this place. Great food, great beer selection, and staff is amazing. They dont advertise as a German place or Bierhaus, but there's definitely a German influence. Currywurst isn't bad, potato salad is amazing, great burgers, sausage plates, and sandwiches. This is always one of my go-to spots in Chico.“

“This place is great for a quiet romantic or social gathering. I usually go for the giant rib eye and have the soup of the day with a bourbon sour. The pomegranate tiramisu was a bit funky sure to a very interesting flavor and texture, but the other desserts were well made.“

“Such good burritos, and they aren’t stingy they are huge! Such an amazing price! But I only like this one on Park ave and great customer service💗“

“A great place to go if you’re looking for affordable food that is also tasty. They have great breakfast burritos and a flavorful green salsa. This place also makes the best Horchata you will find for miles. You can call and order ahead which is nice. There’s a small outdoor eating area but very limited parking. It’s definitely more of a to-go type of restaurant. I love that even if you only order a single taco they always include lime, radish, and salt. The little gestures matter so much.“

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

“The meat was marinated so good. The hot is hot and not watered down. The tortillas and cilantro and onion were all fresh with lemon to top off my street tacos. I'll definitely be telling all of my friends and am a lifelong patron of these folks wonderful Authentic Mexican food restaurant!“

“Erika was the best waitress for our birthday brunch this morning!“

“Authentic, great tasting food. Good size portions. Very reasonably priced. Nice outside patio.“

“Cómida deliciosa y buen servicio“

“The Best fish tacos! Yummie. Great service and atmosphere. The servers are friendly and a pleasure to be around. lightening fast service. 10+“

“My first time tonight and it was delicious 😋 Lingua Sopes were amazing and I've always loved beef Floutas 😋! I want some shrimp, fried tacos next time though. everything looked great though, I will be back.😉✌“

“Best of them all. My go to beer“

“Best steak in town hands down. And the desert was amazing.“

“10 and a half stars out of 5!!!“

“Everything. It’s perfect. The redwood sandwich co. That’s what’s on my mind Facebook. There’s a few places in town I will always visit. If you haven’t been here yet, you’re not trying hard enough. You’re hungry, you need a sandwich that feels like a sandwich. You don’t want one of those wimpy limp sandwiches that you find for $5. You know the ones, with the iceberg lettuce and the bread that tastes like nothing. You want a MANS SANDWICH. You’re not walking around on your twinkly toes. You might wear a tutu, but that doesn’t define your food desire. That’s right. You want mouth feel. You want to put it in your mouth and not talk for at least 10 minutes. You want food that makes everything stop and take pause. You’re grown, but this sandwich makes your hands look like a child. You’re ready to eat. And eat you shall. That tri tip sandwich is dripping with goodness. It’s a feast between two slices of bread. The thanksgiving sandwich makes you wish you spent your holiday here. Pair that with their soups that don’t quit, or their Mac and cheese that stops the world, you’re in food coma and all you’ve done is smell it. If you’re lucky, you’ll make it there when they have a pork belly special. It will turn you. You won’t know what hit you. But you’ll spend the month dreaming about that sandwich. You think you took a nap, but really, you closed your eyes to re live the feel of that sandwich in your hands, and no one had to know that you woke up eating your pillow. It’s ok, your secret is safe with me. Treat yourself. You deserve this.“

“Buena comida, Mexicana, y muy buena atención por los propietarios..👍❤“

“I recently had the pleasure of working with the North State Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed with their commitment to supporting the Hispanic and minority business community. From the moment I reached out to them, I was met with a warm and welcoming response, and it was clear that they genuinely care about helping businesses thrive. The Chamber's team is comprised of knowledgeable and dedicated professionals who are passionate about promoting economic growth and creating opportunities for Hispanic entrepreneurs. They offer a wide range of resources and services, including great monthly networking events! What I appreciate most about the North State Hispanic Chamber of Commerce is their emphasis on community. They foster a sense of belonging and collaboration among members, and it's clear that they prioritize building relationships and creating a supportive environment for all. It's inspiring to see how much they have accomplished in a relatively short amount of time, and I have no doubt that they will continue to make a significant impact on the Hispanic and minority business community for years to come. If you are a Hispanic or minority business owner or entrepreneur looking to connect with like-minded individuals and take your business to the next level, I highly recommend reaching out to the North State Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. They are an exceptional organization, and I am grateful for the opportunities they give our community.“

“Nash's Restaurant Review I haven't been to Nash's in years, it was always a place where you could get a satisfying dish of food with a nice atmosphere. On this day, Nash's was hopping and busy with every table filled with happy customers. The wait was not long to be seated, once I received my menu with a 4 min wait my order was taken, in no time my plate arrived. My waitress Amy, was friendly and had a patient personality and excellent interpersonal skills, responded to all my questions about the breakfast menu. I ordered the half plate of Carnitas Benedict, that came with one poached egg on an English muffin with carnitas, avocado and dice tomatoes, all topped off with their delicious house verde sauce with a bit of cilantro, my choice of side was their hash browns, in my opinion "The Best Hash Browns In Chico" Nash's was just like I remember, really good food with a great staff. I highly recommend you stop in for a bite to eat and try the Carnitas Benedict Breakfast. I will definitely be visiting Nash's more often. All in all I'll give that visit a 5 Star Rating.“

“They have a section on their breakfast menu where you select one item from 3 of 4 boxes for seniors, alot of variety, good price, it includes coffee too. The veggie omelet, mushrooms, onions and peppers, it was delicious, ground round patty fine, pancakes so big and fluffy 😋, their sausage is excellent. Great service too.“

“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“
