Restaurants near Lake Almanor Peninsula

“Always friendly, always have what I need- great selection of wines.”

“Consistently the best pizza I’ve had, including Italy and Europe. Our favorites: Garlic Chicken and Cabin Fever. Ryan’s Beefy Cheese Supreme beats the top Philly Cheese sandwiches on the East Coast. I’ve met customers who drive 2 hrs for their pies. You won’t be disappointed.”

“Went here for the first time today and it is the cutest little Dutch coffee shop. Rachel is so kind and their apple strudel was homemade and delicious. We also had their espresso con panna it is strong but also very good.”

“We like Red Onion quite a bit. In the summer we like to sit on the deck and in the winter it is cosy and quiet indoors. There really are only two restaurants within the peninsula area; more in the Hamilton Branch area, but if we want to stay close in we alternate between Il Lago and the Red Onion. Il Lago is loud and fun but not a good place if you want to have good conversations due to the noise level. We like the variety of food at Red Onion (something besides pizza) and the peace to talk with friends. That is in large part because the bar is far away from the restaurant dining, unlike Il Lago. So those drinking a lot and having fun are at the bar. That makes for a more quiet restaurant. Yay. All depends on what you are seeking on a particular night.”

“Excellent fresh-baked goods, and the service was friendly. The coffee is bottom less, so you know it's not the best, but it was still OK. One star off for charging a fee for using a credit card. But I'll be back and pay cash.”

“The food is so good, and the service is exceptional.”

“We had a fantastic experience at this coffee shop. The staff is friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The drinks were delicious, and the ambiance was beautiful. I especially loved the comfortable seating options and the availability of game cards. Overall, it was a great place to relax and enjoy a cup of coffee on a rainy day”

“It's nice to have a local place who offers vegan and gluten free options, and who actually know what it means to be gluten free. While I know there is always the possibility of getting glutens (wheat, rye or barley) in my food due to cross-contamination. They try their best to really accommodate special dietary needs and that means ALOT! This is the only place in town I will eat, since it is the only one that won't make me sick, and because their food is excellent, and service is prompt and friendly.”

“Great food, great service. So lucky and glad to have this place close to home!”

“Delicious food and tasty drinks. Cool ambiance inside. I had fish tacos and a margarita. Both were excellent ? Our server was friendly and efficient. Great experience all around!”

“Always a nostalgic burger/frosty joint to stop at on our way to our cabin. I've been stopping here every summer since the '70's. And the small frosty is plenty big!”

“Fantastic beers. One of the best NEIPAs I've had in a long while. And the food. The food was bloody amazing. Make a special trip or stop here for lunch on your way down south. You won't regret it.”

“I love this place. Such a cute place and super clean. The waitress and owners went above and beyond to make our first time there amazing. We will definitely be going back. The food was so good. I love me some churros and I’m picky and they were so stinkin good.I got to witness the owner pure genuine thoughtfulness and caring for others. It was very humbling to see. She is a gem in this world for sure. That I can tell. That alone would make me go back to this place. But their food is definitely the best around.”

“Best place ever for breakfast and lunch great prices and great food”

“Clean good vibes and great customer service. Bev and her crew are the best. Pizza and meatloaf is amazing served fresh and fast.”

“Stopped in for a co ktail. Happy people, they do serve limited food items, but if u need to unwind, it's a relaxing atmosphere pending on the day, weekends are for cutting it loose, and talking with friends. Being the only saloon in town, I highly recommend stopping in and have a. Cocktail or ”

“Great spot for lunch! Hubby enjoyed the enchilada plate, 2 large with rice and beans. I was all breakfast with bacon (thin, crunchy, delicious), eggs (perfect) , the best crispy hash browns I've had in years, and toast.Good coffee. Very friendly staff. Cute decor, big clean bathrooms.They only take cash so be prepared.”

“This place is amazing! I've had several of their pizzas and all have been good but the Smoke Chaser is incredible! The service is always friendly and even when they get busy, the quality never diminishes. I have a friend who lives by the lake and whenever I come to visit, I make sure to come here at least once.”

“I was iffy about going here because I despise sushi. Didn't think a sushi place could have good non-sushi food. I was pleasantly proven wrong! Their burger has become my new local favorite! Wait staff is fabulous!”

“A gem of a restaurant that is an unexpected treat in a rather remote area on northeastern California. Their brewery is excellent and the food great. It is a must stop on hwy36 through Chester but check the hours of operation first.”

“We stopped in to watch the PGA Open and received exactly what we expected - a cool clean small town bar with NASCAR on one TV and the PGA on the other! Brian served us ice cold beverages (including a NA beer for me), and rustled up some food. (Food options were limited, but we’ll prepared and nicely served.)”

“Beautiful view! Great service and food was delish”
