A vintage Chico diner beloved by Chicoans everywhere. For most people this is a most go to restaurant for that late afternoon brunch. Several of the old time staff here are familiar and friendly with all the locals, at it really showcases the families and community side that Chico has.

This is probably most loved for the nostalgic feeling it brings a lot of families over the quality of the food. Place is always bustling and filled with people throughout the morning and packed on weekends, but the staff is quick, attentive, and great at cleaning tables and opening and seats. The menu has unique and flavorful items named after local places at the atmosphere of the restaurant captures the vintage diner look, not by choice though. Some of the carpeting and walls could use an update, but I suppose some people like the old look it brings.

The pricing is pretty standard for a local diner, the coffee is average, but the true setback is the sides that come with meals. The fruit, potatoes, toast or whatever side dish a meal comes with is usually lacking or inconsistent. The hotcakes are amazing and the bacon delicious, but a few instances of some meals lacking remove a star.

Still an awesome historic spot to check in Chico; recommend giving it a try and checking out some of their weekly specials and discounts.
