Went in at about 5pm on a Wednesday and got the patty melt. I have to say, it was absolutely the most delicious thing I have eaten in a very long time!

Today's food, which I Received in a timely matter, was hot My waitress was friendly and attentive. Much improved over my last experience where half the items on my plate were cold, and the coffee was lukewarm. The service was very slow and it took about 45 minutes to get my order. 

Business response:

Aw shucks, we're blushing! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. We can't wait to see you again soon to #FeedYourInnerBear!

I want to salute Linda B. on her FIVE star service yesterday 8/26/25. I had decided not to return to your establishment due to the lack of service and attention I've had in the past, but the chef who prepares your breakfast is so good at his job I decided to give it a go and what a surprise. A gentleman greeted me at the the door and ushered me right to a table. Linda then greeted me with a large smile and fantastic service. I am not sure of her last name Blackbeg? in dine. Satisfied customer and will be back, Reba Bla... read more

Visited April 15th..see receipt. This location is in Chico and has indoor and outside seating. Great location within the Chico Mall ( marketplace ) Stopped in for a late breakfast after shopping at the mall.

Good food Big foot chicken fried steak- this meal you get to choose soup or salad, I chose salad. Then you get to choose 2 sides, I chose green beans and toast. it was a big steak and did take me a lot of bites. Was super nice and hot when it came out but cooled down pretty quickly. Knife that was given was really sharp. White gravy was white gravy, lacked flavor imo. It was an alright steak, took a lot of bites but wasnt as much as I expected. Salad- waiter will ask what dressing you want, from what I remember, he mentio... read more

This place is down the street from my house, so I decided to walk over for breakfast. While the restaurant is pretty big, it has a homey and cozy feel to it. My server Spencer was super sweet, attentive, and easy to talk to. His fun and kind personality made me feel like I was speaking to a friend. I'm somewhat picky when it comes to breakfast food, but he recommended the Shasta Scramble which is now one of my favorites!
