Holy SMOKES THE BEST RESTAURANT AROUND! Better pricing than any other place around, unique menu with a American food with a twist! They do have VEGAN and VEGETARIAN dank options. My buddy got the veggie burger and added kimchi on top (highly recommended)! I got fish tacos and BOY SO GOOOOOOD! AND THE SERVICE! SPECTACULAR!!!! The owner and her family were so welcoming, loving, and were grateful to have you there. Even the doggie welcomes you warmly! Nobody knows this but there is seating in the back with a great nature view, highly suggest to sit in the back if warm enough! Best food I had in that area, hands down! read more

Great tucked away spot in Clio - just a short hop and a skip from Graeagle. Fantastic tacos! Relaxing garden sitting area.

This place rocks. Great original food choices, fast friendly service, fair prices and perfect atmosphere all add up to a terrific meal. And dog friendly too! Highly recommended!!! p.s. Be sure to stop at their food truck when you see it at special events around the area. :-) read more

Good food located in close proximity to good beer! Go there and to The Brewing Lair! You won't be disappointed!

This restaurant is a must-visit if you are in the Clio area! The ambiance is charming, and the people are so friendly and happy to offer up ideas on what to do nearby. And let's not forget...the food! The waffles are gluten free, and can easily be made vegan. I had a waffle and delicious split pea soup, and my fiancé had the tuna tower waffle. Both meals were the perfect complement of flavors, and the portions were great! I'm already trying to figure out how many more waffles I can eat before we leave! read more

First time visiting Graeagle/Clio. Happened upon this gem of a place due to a friends recommendation. Great diverse menu with tons of choices, and vegan/vegetarian options as well which was a surprise. Nice local brews and other brews as well. My food was excellent. Had the creme brûlée cheesecake to finish and holy $@!I'm from San Diego and it was something I would expect from one of the trendy places around North Park or Little Italy. Not to mention the live music was unreal. The guy should be famous. I'm not exaggerating when I say it was one of the best live musicians I've heard. Insta handle is @jackdanny1980. And saving the best for last, I was graced with the presence of Janet, the hostess with the mostest. She gave our group excellent suggestions for food and drinks. She anticipated our every need. Refills were impeccable and she cleared our table in short order all with a smile and great efficiency. All in all a great place would highly recommend to all in the area and those visiting! read more

Great little hidden gem for lunch and dinner. Had their Everyone's Favorite Fish Tacos for lunch...and it was amazing. Tacos were super fresh, with a hint of sharp cheddar cheese, and bursting with flavor (yummy cilantro lime sauce.) Will definitely be coming back here again! read more

Wow ! We stopped here on our way home from Quincy because of the reviews and were not disappointed! What a great place! Super cute old building with a great front porch and outdoor dining . The food was amazing ! Great vegetarian selection . The tacos and salad were so bright and colorful . The dressings and sauces are very creative . Would love to come back to stay the night and see some live music . Great service too! read more

Ricochet Cafe - New American Near Me - Blairsden, California

I had the pork chipotle waffle and my wife had the same on tacos. The pulled pork was tender, the sauce just the right amount of spicy. Both served with a generous and healthy portion of fresh salad. I had the carrot ginger dressing and my wife had tomato cilantro. Both were very flavorful and really enhanced the salad. Accompanied by the The Brewing Lair "Take a Hike" IPA with a fruity flavor and just the right hop tones. Finished with the ultra-sweet creme caramel cheesecake. Definitely worth a visit. Thanks for the great meal read more

What a pleasant surprise. The food and ambiance were amazing! Try the fries! And the owner was so gracious. We can't wait to come back and stay. The rooms are adorable. read more

Great food I love the fries and very friendly employees a mile away from our house and the best cheese cakes keep it up guys the on thing I would change Is you guys could put ice cream on the menu and I love the live music and the food truck is awesome read more

Went to the opening night at Richochet Cafe (located in the Blackbird Inn) in Clio last night and WOW, it is fantastic! The menu is creative and will appeal to many palates including those with dietary preferences and restrictions. There are vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free items, all are extremely tasty and each has a unique sauce or spice that gives it a delicious and memorable twist. Last night was a set fee tasting menu where we got to taste many of the items on the menu. Their pulled pork is hands down the best I have ever tasted and the cheese sauce on the meatloaf melt (served on a savory waffle) was light, smoky and simply divine. The zesty vegan tacos have peppers, onions and jack fruit (!) sauteed but still crispy with delicious spices that really bring out the flavor of the veggies. The fish tacos are light and delicious. I could go on and on, but best that you check it out the next time you're in the area. Beer on tap, wine and cider available also. Winter hours are Tue-Sat 12-9. read more

Great hidden spot just off of 89 before Graeagle in the tiny town of Clio. Charming hotel with a great little restaurant in it -- the fish tacos here are incredible. Apparently, they have live music regularly when Covid isn't an issue. Can't wait to get back here down the road for great food and good music! read more

So delicious! We came here after a visit to the hot springs. We got the tuna salad and bean salad, soup and IPA's. The outside patio was gorgeous. Will be back on my next visit through town. read more

What a great find! Healthy, fresh, surprising flavors. I had the Jalepeno tuna, my kids had fish tacos and fish and chips, and my husband had the meatloaf sandwich and we were all very pleased. Awesome vegan options, too. I've been coming up here for a few years and hadn't really found a restaurant a truly adored. Finally, something different than the same old dining options. Love , love , love! read more

Yum! Can't say enough good things about this place. I love everything the menu and often crave it for dinner. Try the meatloaf, fish tacos, and the bean burger with the veggies. The waffles are gluten free but you would never know, and they also have vegan options. Love love love read more

The fish tacos are to die for. They have the take out deal down,super easy. I can't wait tell the rules ease and we can enjoy their entire menu with live music. read more

The food and service was great! I will be back. The homemade soups are nutritious and tasty. The only negative for me was that it was way too chilly for me in the restaurant. Savvy patrons had seated themselves by the wood stove. In the summer this, of course, will not be an issue. read more

Wow! Ricochet is a wonderful addition to the community. I went there for the first time since the restaurant opened and was very happy with my experience. Cheryl and Scott are warm and welcoming as well as professional. the food was really yummy and full of flavor. I had the Vegan veggie soup and fish tacos. Both were wonderful and the soup had a meatball option as well. We sat next to a cozy fireplace and soaked up the great vibe. Check it out! They have different soups rotating on the menu and tasty options for varying tastes. Takeaway as well. read more

I gave it two stars for ambience. Nice space but the food is marginal. Taco shells cold even after complaining about a prior visit and almost no fish, just filler. Waffles were different but no flavor, meatloaf boring. Went with neighbors and no one was ready to rush back read more

Wow. An unexpected find and combinations but do they ever work. Quality food from the truck passed through the wall brought forth great flavors along with some good hospitality. A must try in the area. Ahi tuna on waffles, who'd of thought of that. Yum. read more

A local favorite tucked away in Little Clio,Ca. LOVE the savory waffles , and fish tacos. And the soup!! And live music, local beers on tap. A real "find". Not to be missed read more

Great place. we decided to give it a try for lunch and was better than I expected. the fish and chips were great and although not your traditional enchilada, it may have been the best I've had. Nice place, And great service. my dad lives in Graeagle so we will come again soon. Love the dog too. read more

Just went for dinner with the family. So great. Everything was good, really fresh and super tasty. Love the menu. Saturday night music was fun. We will definitely be back. We needed a place like this! read more

Ricochet served up a delicious dinner for my fiance and I while we were passing through town. The owner, Cheryl, was very friendly and helpful, and she makes some great soups. I had the Tuna Tower Waffle as well, and it was a nice savory treat. Everything tasted very fresh and clean. There was a good selection of local beers, including some from the Brewing Lair in nearby Blairsden. Overall, it's a great place to stop for a meal. read more

What a gem, I don't even want to share this, but I have to! Such an amazing experience, the people, the food and drink and the dancing! I had so much fun and did not stop smiling the whole night. The room was even better! Beautiful, spacious and super comfy bed. I highly recommend stopping by, eating here and definitely staying here!!!! Just what Plumas county needed. Thanks guys! You definitely nailed it! read more
