Went on a trip to Chico and decided to try this gem. Friends have told me this was a super popular place for the college folk to go and indeed the restaurant has a hip pub-like atmosphere.

The good:

The atmosphere was pretty fun. There were a lot of young families when we went and the staff was very welcoming.

Great location. Great area of town. Historic building.

The food came out fast.

Their burgers were really good. I ordered the Papa bear and also a side of onion rings. The burger was juicy, properly cooked, and well seasoned. The bun tasted fresh and the sauces were great.

The BBQ sauce they keep on the tables is just the right blend of sweet and spicy.

The fries were very good too and cooked just right and salted properly.

Lots of places to sit and eat on a Sunday afternoon.

The bad:

The onions rings were a bit of a miss. Ours seemed over cooked and over salted.

The ranch also tasted yuck. There is ranch you can get cheap at the store that tasted better than what they serve here so they should just switch to another brand.

They don't offer Coke Zero or fun drinks like Angry Orchard or Mikes.

In the ladies restroom my wife witnessed some young ladies who were sick and ready to puke due to too much alcohol. I think the restaurant needs to cut people off before they get like this. It's in their interest to not have to clean puke from everywhere in a restroom. The mens restroom smelled a bit and was in need of a remodel.

Overall:

It was a fun experience and I can see myself going back and trying new things on the menu.
