I'm new to the area so I don't have any previous experiences with the food from before the fire but I will say it was good, not over the top but the type of fare I would expect in a pub. But it arrived hot and appealing. The burger I had was delicious as were the fries. They had a nice selection of craft beers along with a full bar. The ambiance is fun, locals, families, friends getting together for a break away from the everyday so it can get a bit noisy, don't let that deter you.

Sitting at the bar for lunch. The bar is U-shaped and huge!

Perfect medium burger after a few bites.

I had the Half-sandwich with soup and fries. I chose grilled Ham n cheese and the "half" I was presented with was larger than most full sandwiches. Quite tasty as well. A generous portion of fries came with it and the soup was vegetable beef. The fries were cooked to perfection and delicious. Too bad the super-cheap ketchup they serve is not edible. It's like they made it from canned tomato sauce. Disgusting! The soup wasn't the best. It tasted like they keep a single pot and add stuff to it every day. Re-heating and adding more to it every morning. I had to chase the server down and ask for it because she had forgotten to bring it out. Not good. I also had a strawberry milkshake. It tasted like vanilla ice milk and had some strawberry syrup drizzled on it for flavoring. When I stirred it in, the drink became slightly pink and had the slightest hint of strawberry. Not very thick either, but it was thick enough to collapse the super-cheap straws they use. I had to ask for water for my dog four times and when they brought some, it was in a plastic bucket that had been used as an ash tray. There were burn marks and ashes still in it and it reeked of cigarettes. The place has it's good points. Just don't expect much.

She's the best of anyone else on The Ridge in my humble opinion. I'm addicted and crave her food at least once/week. When I asked her about some of her ingredients, I found out she uses quality food ingredients such as Rib Eye in her Philly Cheese Steaks and good quality lean hamburger for her burgers. Her fries are always crunchy...I try not to have them too often but they're so good it's difficult. Lol The Patty Wagon moved recently in the 8000 block on Skyway and has many more tables/seating. Plus lots of shade and protection from the rain now. So that's extra nice for me now. I also found out recently that she was one of the first places to open after the Camp Fire. She wanted to help feed all the workers on The Ridge and she also helped feed some people who were literally homeless pro fire. Thank you Janice for toughing it through the difficult financial times and dealing with some of the initial reconstruction.

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!

It's a wonderful concept and I support them now more than ever, especially since they are the only game in town for this format. The prices are reasonable, especially with their combos, the buns are top shelf... the *only* thing that I miss from O.G. Burger Hut? Their "secret sauce" -- it was like a Thousand Island dressing minus the pickle bits.

Bottom line, Big Chico Burger gets two thumbs up, we love and support them as a staple, locally owned business, and invite them to open up another location if they think they can handle it (you can!).

Great food and friendly service…read more I think each deli specializes in a certain kind of sandwich or food offering. Fast Eddies has a little bit of everything, so no matter what you are in the mood for, you'll find something good. For me, I find that a sandwich with a lot of ingredients needs to be eaten right away, otherwise the bread will become soggy from one of the sauces or juices from the vegetables, and soggy bread is a recipe for a bad sandwich. Keep that in mind when ordering a specialty sandwich or any sandwich. If you are not going to be eating it on the spot, then the quality might be different after even just a car ride home or a day at the lake etc. I recommend and look forward to more return trips.
