Burgers and Brew

3.5(474 reviews)

Burgers and Brew is one of those places I don't get to nearly as often as I'd like, but whenever…read moreI'm in the area and stop by, I'm reminded why I like it so much. The name pretty much tells you exactly what you're getting, and thankfully they're really good at both. The burgers are the main event. Big, messy in the way a good burger is supposed to be, and actually worth being hungry for. There are enough options that you can switch it up every time, although I usually end up staring at the menu for way too long just to order something similar to what I always get anyway. The fries are great alongside it, and obviously having a good beer with everything doesn't exactly hurt. The atmosphere is another reason I like this place. It's lively and casual without feeling like they're trying too hard to manufacture a "cool" restaurant. You can come in with friends, grab a burger and a beer, hang out for a while, and nobody is rushing you out the door. Service has always been friendly and pretty on top of things, even when they're busy. And considering how packed places like this can get, that deserves some credit. It's definitely not an everyday kind of meal unless you're trying to personally keep the beef industry afloat, but when you're craving a real burger, Burgers and Brew is hard to argue with. Five stars and absolutely worth coming back to.

What a great spot for some food and drink. Good options has far as beers and ciders. I was happy…read moreto see they had a Brewery X Seltzer but sad to find out they were out. We only ordered sweet potato fries. They were very good and the portion size was amazing. The main reason for the five stars is the bartender. I did not get his name but he was great. Younger guy that was very kind, respectful and made sure we were taken care of. Good spot to hang out. Restaurant was busy and a lot of the food we saw go out looked very good.

Burgers and Brew - Avocado Cheeseburger with additional bacon (2 slices) and portobello mushroom, side of garlic curly fries; best meal I've had in Chico.

The Bear - Downtown Chico My husband, my brother, and I…read morestopped at The Bear after a morning hike one weekend. We were starving, and the food hit the spot. I especially loved the curly cheese fries, and the fried chicken sandwich was good too. The place is steeped in history. I'm not really a bar person and the energy isn't quite my vibe, but there's a lot to appreciate--especially the wild ceilings packed with random items. It's unique and full of character, even if it isn't perfectly aligned with my usual preferences. My husband, a local who grew up in Butte County, shared some great stories about his Chico State days, back when this was still a quieter town of wealthy families with unpaved roads. Those little pieces of local history made the visit even more interesting. A solid, character-filled stop if you enjoy the Bar vibe, you're hungry after a hike and open to a place with real personality.

I was visiting my son in Chico and had heard that "The Bear" was a must-do for Chico…read more The restaurant itself is very vibe-y. It is a lot! Loads of TVs with a variety of sports events playing. We ordered at the counter and then sat down at a table. We only waited about 15 minutes to get our food. My son and I ordered the Great Bacon Burger and specialized it to our liking. I ordered the side salad and he got curly fries. His roommate ordered the Near Burger with curly fries. When we got our food, the boys' burgers were not the way they had ordered them (one had cheese and the other had tomatoes). And it wasn't clear was whose was whose. My side salad was basic basic fare. I should have ordered the curly fries. I probably won't be back, but it was fun to visit the iconic Chico restaurant.

But the chicken sandwich was extremely dry and didn't have much flavor apart from just being spicy. The service is awful, we were in an empty restaurant and the hostess visited us twice the entire meal. No refill on our waters which were empty almost our entire visit, we asked for silverware for the table and she brought us only 1 set (we were a table of 5). I asked for ranch for the table, and she brought us 2. There was zero urgency to bring us our bill once we finished eating. I wouldn't return solely for the lack of service.

Parkside Tap House

3.3(304 reviews)

I blame my daughter for this review…read more Last week we were headed to sushi when the smell coming from Parkside Tap House ambushed us on the sidewalk. Being pregnant, she's operating with heightened food detection abilities that rival military technology, so she immediately declared, "We're coming back here." A week later we returned with her boyfriend and brother, and what followed can best be described as a competitive eating event. The hostess greeted us warmly, got us seated quickly, and we settled into the lively outdoor patio. Great atmosphere, cold drinks, sports on the TVs, and just enough energy to feel fun without feeling chaotic. We started with ahi bites, beer cheese pretzels, jalapeño poppers, and Brussels sprouts. The ahi bites were fantastic. Fresh ahi, creamy avocado, crispy wontons, and a little heat at the finish line. The pretzels were soft enough to pull apart with your fingers and the beer cheese was rich and addictive. The jalapeño poppers got an unexpected upgrade from the blackberry BBQ sauce, which gave them a sweet, smoky personality all their own. Then there were the Brussels sprouts. Whoever thought of pairing Brussels sprouts with blackberry drizzle deserves a raise. Sweet, savory, crispy, tender, and impossible to stop eating. For dinner we sampled the taco bowl, brisket bowl, rice bowl loaded with brisket, and a house salad. The taco bowl was colorful, fresh, and loaded with flavor. The brisket bowl was my personal favorite. Smoky brisket over fried rice with vegetables, crispy wontons, cotija cheese, and a sweet-spicy sauce that kept me digging in long after I should have stopped. The rice bowl with added brisket was almost comical when it arrived. Massive chunks of brisket perched on top like they owned the place. Tender, smoky, juicy, and worth every penny. Even the house salad was fresh enough to remind us we were technically eating vegetables. What stood out most was that every dish felt like someone in the kitchen actually cared. Nothing felt thrown together. Portions were generous, flavors were bold, and everything hit the table looking as good as it tasted. We originally found Parkside by following our noses. After this meal, we'll be following our cravings back

I just tried Bun Burger and it's fantastic! The place has a cozy, welcoming vibe that's perfect for a casual meal. The burgers are amazing--juicy, flavorful, and with the freshest buns. I had the ultimate burger and it was spot on. The fries are crispy and must try! The staff is super friendly and made me feel right at home. Prices are great too.

Finally made it to Bunburger. It's a pretty place! The burgers were very good! I had a veggie burger with mushrooms and my friend had chicken and mushrooms. It didn't seem to take long to get our food, especially since there is baking involved. The fries and coleslaw was very good, too. Worth the price and no more expensive than other nicer burger restaurants. The service was good. read more

We have been to Bun Burger once a month while he has been open. It is a uniquely made burger that we enjoy. Since the burger is cooked inside the bun it is delicious and juicy. His sauce choices (BBQ & spicy are our favs) make it a fun way to change up how to eat a burger. I always order an extra fry because they are so crispy/tender and yummy read more

I have never had a burger like this! I had the eggplant burger it was delicious and how they make burgers is so creative. The fries are just as well made as the burger.

I ordered the Heeler (because blue cheese, duh) and my partner ordered the Cowboy. I was pleasantly surprised that burgers came with fries... these days, most places try to up-charge any side. My partner is kind of a burger snob and he said he'd give it a 7.5/10... but his favorite burger is from 5th Street Steakhouse, so the competition is stiff Lol I would say it was a 9/10 for me. The highs? The gourmet bun was toasted and branded with their logo, the produce was fresh, the bacon was hot off the grill, and the entire thing was cooked to order. The slight misses? I ordered the sea salt & vinegar fries and they were too salty for me... and that's saying something because I love salt. The burger patty was also a much leaner beef than we expected... and while "my health journey" appreciates that, it wasn't super juicy or tender, despite being cooked to a perfect level of doneness. All that to say: I'll for sure be back... I love to shop small and support local, and it's much easier to do when businesses like this are putting out such good quality eats!
