    Bomb fries
    Nancy P.

    Best avocado toast I've had in awhile. The had a variety of avocado toast options . I chose the jalapeno and cheddar one. Soo goood! I added a side a fries that were also really good. The avocado toast had hummus and a bed of fried cheese that tasted delicious. Big portions and it comes with bacon but I don't eat meat so I opted out. You can also enjoy beer or wine or some mimosas also . I was on my lunch so I just had water. The staff were welcoming and friendly. Also attentive which I appreciated. Cute decor inside, I'd definitely recommend and I'm coming back to try more food soon

    Visited April 5 2026.. See my receipt as always. This is my favorite place for breakfast in Oroville! Today is Easter so we wanted a nice breakfast as I am cooking prime rib tonite! The classic breakfast is my favorite..2 eggs with 3 bacon and a ton of potatoes! Plus English muffin! Eggs are always fluffy and the bacon is crispy as I asked. My friend got the build your own omelet..he had mushrooms and sausage with cheddar cheese. ENORMOUS! tons of potatoes and he got the rye swirl bread. Their portions are plentiful and they are well staffed with friendly employees ( thanks Ally!) Plenty of leftovers. Outside dining is dog friendly!! Btw..spicy bloody Mary was perfect!

    3 item omelet, no flavor. Country potatoes.

    First of all, they waitresses are all good! We got seated right away. Good thing as 15 minutes later the place filled up. The menu looked good with many good sounding choices. #1 was eggs Benedict, #2 was 3 item omelet. The eggs Benedict was good. The omelet was not good. I ordered sausage, avocado, and pepper jack cheese. It was flavorless. The sausage was boiled and looked unattractive and had no taste, I had to use a lot of salt, pepper, and hot sauce to get flavor. The side dishes we ordered country potatoes, they were cooked well. Just needed salt and pepper. The portions are big. Two people could share either of these 2 dishes. Prices were about the same as other places, however a glass of OJ is $4.50, iced tea is $4.00. Those seem too high, especially the tea. Its water!!!

    I was staying in Oroville to drop off my sister to college and stumbled upon this little eatery. The food was so delicious and fresh. The prices were reasonable. I personally grabbed the sweet tooth breakfast plate because I'm a lover of French toast. It had an orange tang to it which I did not like. But I sure ate everything else on that plate! The burrito was massive and the potatoes were cooked to perfection!!!!! 10/10. Service was pretty slow as it was busy had to flag the waiter down about 5 times for some napkins but not the worst service. Check out their drink menu as it seems pretty great!

    Ethan's is a great place to go for lunch. Inside or outside seating. It's on a busy street but still nice. Parking limited out front but Raley's across the street. Service is always friendly & food is good. Prices are fare. We had ice tea, Arnold Palmer, burger & sandwich for $43.00. The portions are good sized. I ordered medium well and came out perfect. Wish they'd put the Thai chicken salad back on menu.

    Chilaquiles with carnitas
    Jessica W.

    Worth the drive from Chico to Oroville! Friend and I are on a biscuit and gravy kick so we decided to try this out Saturday morning. Coffee served in amazingly large cup and vanilla flavored creamer. Score! Menu is large but not overwhelming. Our amazing server whose name I did not catch made recommendations that helped us order more food than we needed. Biscuits and gravy - huge chunks of sausage, fluffy biscuits, great spice. Chilaquiles with carnitas - delish! Carnitas was on the sweeter side, I think cinnamon is a secret ingredient Bacon, avocado, tomato eggs Benedict - tasty but of the three not my favorite. Nothing particularly stood out with this dish. BONUSES - tots at breakfast!! And their country potatoes were incredibly flavorful Cute interior, even though they were busy, it didn't feel overwhelmingly loud. Ready to go back and try their mimosa sampler!!

    Service was great, food was good, ambiance was good. I really liked the chicken fried steak. Delicious gravy and perfectly cooked. The other two people in my party got variations of the eggs benedicts and I liked mine better, but they really enjoyed their meal. I also got hot chocolate, enticed by a photo on Yelp with whipped cream, marshmallows, and a chocolate drizzle. But it only came out with whipped cream. (Obviously not a super big deal but I was slightly bummed haha) While the ambience is cute, I do NOT like those chairs. They're those adorable metal ones that stack. They are so uncomfortable and only fit people with extremely narrow hips. So they dug into my hips the whole time. Very uncomfortable for fat folks or people with large hips, so just be aware that's the only seating option. I would absolutely come here again for the food, but probably won't make a trip to oroville for it since I'm about 20 minutes away. I also don't think the food was quite amazing enough to overcome that those chairs are the only seating option, just a personal preference.

    Ambiance is cute and spacious. Server was friendly. My Cuban wasn't great...too much meat, wrong bread and way too much mayo for my taste. Kids loved their food though. Overall this is a nice little spot in small town Oroville

    Everything Avocado Bagel
    Tara S.

    We were happy to get a seat for 6 so quickly! The service was friendly and the food came out very quickly. The atmosphere was actually pretty relaxing for a small space, it didn't feel tight or crowded even though there were a lot of people eating! Food was great, really enjoyed my Everything Avocado Bagel! I'd go back again to try some of the other menu items

    breakfast sammies

    If you're looking for an early morning breakfast, a mid-morning brunch, or an afternoon lunch, you need to give Ethan's Eatery a try! Ethan's Eatery offers a robust breakfast and lunch menu full with classic favorites like eggs benedict, cinnamon french toast, and burgers. The interior of the restaurant is very cute, and the staff is so welcoming that you'll feel right at home. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating for those who want to take advantage of the warm Oroville days we have coming up. We arrived around 9am on a weekday morning and were seated immediately. We ordered their breakfast sammies (with your choice of meat and eggs), a belgian waffle, and the cinnamon french toast. The service is impeccable and we had our food in front of us in a timely manner. Their portion sizes are quite generous (we had plenty of leftovers to take back), and their plates are reasonably priced. You can really tell that the food is freshly made and everything eats as though grandma made it (so so comforting), a perfect way to start the morning. If you're looking for some tasty breakfast eats in Oroville, then I definitely recommend checking out Ethan's Eatery! Without a doubt, I for one will be back to sample their eggs benedict.

    Ethan's is my favorite place to eat lunch in Oroville! I like the indoor or outdoor options. The staff are super friendly and all outgoing. I've ordered a lot from their menu and have never been even slightly disappointed. The food always comes out fresh and is delicious!! A+ to Ethan's and their incredible staff! Way to go!

They don't split the bill, but if you're in a group, you can pay separately at the register and just tell them what you ordered. Food-wise, the loco moco was the weakest dish for me. It was basically a hamburger patty cooked well done. It would be better if they made their own patties or gave an option for medium instead of well done. My ribeye was pretty good, the pot roast was solid, and the Asian chicken dish was okay. The artichoke and bread appetizer was actually really good.

The steak itself is so flavorful and juicy. The gravy is beautiful (an excellent roux, not clumpy, doesn't have too much flour, perfectly balanced in velvety decadence). Eggs over easy perfectly cooked two days in a row! And the side fruit was actually very fresh and good! The home fries were good but I personally preferred the hash browns. Crispy on the outside, good ratio so it's cooked properly throughout, not too oily. And the banana foster waffle???? this is America the Beautiful. I don't know how to describe how good and sweet but somehow not overpoweringly sweet this was (I'm someone with a deep sweet tooth for decadent, dense desserts, none of that "not too sweet" classic asian vibe). This waffle is like a doting grandparents' love of spoiling their grandchildren with treats you can only get in nostalgic dreams. It definitely doesn't need any of the additional butter/maple toppings that come with it. It's perfect the way it is. And a PERFECT sweet pairing to savory chicken fried steak breakfast if you can share with someone Service is super friendly, great! Everything very clean. Great playlists. The outside of the restaurant smells like casino but I didn't think the inside smelled like casino, which was nice.
