160 bill for barely any food!!!!! Ripoff
Kelly P.

This has to be the Worst crab boil in Ca by a big margin!!! No flavor, all oil! Super small portions, I mean super small portions. Not the weight you're supposed to get!! Shrimps not cleaned , skimpy king crab and snow crab! All over cooked!! 160dollar bill to be left hungry afterwards!!! Very disappointed!! Ambiance sucks and owner is rude! Telling everyone we know to not get ripped off!! Yuck! Ripoff!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One bag with a pound of shrimp, some corn, sausage, and potatoes, and 1/2 pound of crab legs. The second bag was similar with no spice.

Sooo good. We come here all the time since they've opened. One bad thing, sometimes the potatoes are under cooked, but mostly it is superb !

Ask the Community - Big Hot Crab

Do they have crawfish again yet?

No.... ......

Are they allowing indoor dine in as of right now?

Yes, but don't waste your money..

Are they open for dine in?

Yes

I wonder if they sell the sauce by itself?

They do not I've tried

How big are the lobster tails how much?

The couple times I got them they were pretty small. Been a while, so I'm sure the price has changed.

Perfect ambiance, not overstimulating, and space is nice and airy. It's my own ritual; I always order beignets, and they are consistently good, light and fluffy. This time I ordered the open face toast with bacon (I'm totally butchering what it's actually called), but it was giving eggs benny, and it was so so delicious. Their hollandaise sauce tasted house made so I asked my server (Katie, amazing, 5 stars. Super personable and friendly) and sure enough I learned B Street is a scratch kitchen (absolutely everything is made in-house). IMPRESSIVE. The whole dish was very hearty, exactly what you'd need after a night out and it didn't sit heavy. Thank you B Street, I'll be back soon ;)

Sicilian Café is way bigger on the inside than it looks. The outdoor bar area was completely full…read morewhen we arrived, and the interior dining room was packed too--the crowd never really let up, which I think says a lot. We had reservations and were seated immediately. We started with the garlic bread and bruschetta, both of which were excellent. The mozzarella on the bruschetta was especially rich and buttery, definitely a standout. The moscow mule was refreshing, though I wish the ginger had a little more kick, and the cool strawberry mocktail was superb, not too sweet with the mint coming through. For mains, the spaghettini had naturally sweet tomatoes and a thick sauce that clung beautifully to the noodles. The scallops were fresh and sweet, though the mushroom risotto with saffron crème they sat on leaned tangy, which might be hit-or-miss depending on your palate. The chicken piccata was also quite tart, true to style. And the pork special was good too. We ended with the spumoni that was cherry-forward, and tiramisu, which was fantastic. Decadent, yet light and airy.

This continues to be our first choice of a "classy" dinner out in Chico. Good food, pleasant…read moreambiance, nice people. I love the attention to detail in the quality of small things. The olive oil and balsamic that go with the excellent bread are top quality and it just goes on from there. We had a lovely time this evening and our server, Rebekah, was especially delightful.

I haven't been to Lassen Steak House in years and we were close so we decided to go. This was my…read moresecond birthday dinner in two days. The place was packed! We were greeted immediately and asked if we had reservations, which we didn't but was graciously seated in a very short time. Our server was at our table with water and rolls in less than three minutes. She took our drink order and had them back to us quickly. The place was crowded but service was excellent! I had the rib eye and my wife had the grilled chicken. The dinners included salad plus two sides. We opted out of appetizers due to the amount of food offered on the menu. My steak was grilled perfectly as was my wife's chicken. I ordered glazed carrots as one of my sides and received fresh carrots in a sweet glaze (perfect)! Wife had asparagus and it was perfectly cooked. I didn't get pictures of the food because there was a baseball game on one tv and football on another! Sorry! The restaurant interior was classic steakhouse with a nice bar. We will go again!

Do not trust what they show on their own website. Example June 21, 2025 they were showing 12oz…read morePrime Rib at $31 and their actual menu inside is $59 for 12oz Prime Rib. Sadly my $59 Prime Rib had a LOT of fat, much more than I've ever had anywhere. Also they no longer offer baked potato as an option so instead I chose "loaded" mashed potato and I liked it. I also liked my asparagus as a side. One of our friends also ordered Prime Rib and also overall wasn't that happy with his and the fact of no baked potato bumbed him out as well. His 4 small limp carrots had a massive amount of cinnamon on them. The side salads that came with our Prime Rib were nice. The Caesar salad (with shrimp) that one of our friends ordered she found to be very disappointing with a massive amount of very small croutons. The Chef salad (with added steak) that my wife ordered also wasn't very good. The fried pickles chips weren't as good as their former fried pickles and for $9.50 we expected more of them. Note that we went on Saturday June 21st, 2025 the longest daylight of the year however they no longer offer/do outside seating for dinner. For their overall prices I would expect like most steakhouses that charge as much as Lassen currently does these days to have cloth napkins however Lassen only supplies cheap paper napkins. We live 1/2 hour away in Chico and have decided we'll no longer drive all the way to Vina's Lassen Steakhouse.
