    Employees are great, but there's no way in hell this is a King sandwich. The 4th time it's come out like this. I remember the real king Sammy 5 years ago and this ain't it

    Menu

    To preface, this is my first time having cheesesteak so take my opinions with a grain of salt I asked the cashier what he recommends and he recommended the classic so I got that one, he asked what size and pointed to me towards the wall of which had a poster of half, large, and king size. I picked large. He asked if I wanted grilled onions I said yes. Asked if I wanted hot and sweet peppers, I said no hot but yes sweet. Cheesesteak was delicious, the peppers were carrying in flavor. Difficult to bite cleanly but thats just how it is. Layout: The front walls are windows, you enter and most of the room is grid like placed tables and chairs. To the back is the cashier, above that are the menus, to the right back are the soda/water dispensers (I realized I should take pictures of the inside more often) Extra notes: The cashier was very friendly and chill I read a review that said the large size is super small and I would agree by looking at it but idk if its just me but I personally had my fill after eating half of it and had to save the rest for later Nice place, nothing more to say, I just came here to give the menus lol 4 stars instead of 5 cause I think personally phillys aren't my thing, it wasn't super flavorful but still good food. I would eat it if offered but won't be craving it

    This warm cheesy meat filled sandwich was so dang good I had to have it again the next day!!! This thing packs a flavor and is not lacking in the meat department. Eat this fresh and thank me later. Also the restaurant is clean and service was quick.

    Ordered the Sizzlin' Pig as a large! Daniel was great as well, very welcoming on my first visit there. Highly recommend!

    If you want a philly cheesesteak, this place delivers. It's super filling, I was just barely able to finish a whole sandwich and I was starving beforehand. The fries were good too but I opted to have the "guylic" seasoning which was a mistake. It stuck to my taste buds like cement* for a few days afterwards. *Cement that tastes good.

    Really great sandwiches. I love The garlic sandwich! Soooo good! I wish DoorDash came to Paradise!

    I really liked this place. We were visiting Chico, and seeing what yelp had to say, and the…read morepub-plus-Magners-on-tap-plus-fun-looking-sandwiches made it a winner. We had kids with us, so we got there an hour before it became 21+. Everyone was friendly, the food came pretty quick relative to how hopping it was. We ordered: Pho-rench dip (w/fries)--I think this was a DDD sandwich, so it's not some hidden gem, but it was super tasty. You cannot go wrong. The slight lime-iness of the dipping broth really kicked it into turbo. Also, we all likes the steak fries--a note on that later. Chicken Cheese Steak (w/fries)--my wife loved it. I tried a bite, and it was great--a little mushroom-forward, but we like that. Mac and Cheese--do not be fooled by the slightly smaller bowl, it is very filling. My son can eat his birth weight in pasta, and he had to tap out! I tried a bite--it was creamy (not grainy at all), and was just the right amount of salty and cheese-funky. Grilled cheese and tomato soup (w/fries)--perhaps the least successful for my family, but only because my daughter prefers a smoky/spicy tomato soup, and this was more on the sweet side. The griled cheese was of the "crispy cheese on the outside" ilk, which my daughter thought was really good. So, totally would go again. IMPORTANT NOTE (to people traveling through Chico, or who don't want to take leftovers)--the sandwiches are pretty big, and the add-on fry order is also sizeable. If we were going again tomorrow, we would either order 1 fry instead of 3. Or split a sandwich. Very very good pub.

I would come back for that and sit at the bar! Service- absolutely awful. Our server, Hadley, was very cold, unwelcoming, unhospitable, never once smiled or even tried to fake excitement for having a guests. As someone who has been in the service industry for 20 years, I know first rule is drop your attitude at the door and be nice to the patrons spending their money. We came in to unwind and shake off some recent stresses in our life, she did a great job trying to spoil that for us.

The only thing is I wish the breading was a bit better on the chicken, but still a 10 out of 10 dish." I also admire their focus on sustainability, their seasonal menu, as well as their local partnerships. A combination of upscale but affordable and perfect for a date night. The copper accents are beautiful and the seating was comfortable. Unfortunately, it was super busy so I would recommend sitting outside for a more romantic and private ambience. My blackened salmon tacos were delicious and we cleaned off the plate within a handful of minutes. I really loved the pickled onions on the side and the crispy outside layer of the salmon pieces. Shout out to our server, kaylee for giving us as much attention as she could, despite the business!

We ordered the Focaccia bread, Innovation flight, Sausage platter, 12Oz Can Hop, Fish tacos, and Blueberry bread pudding. Bread seemed freshly made but burnt. Good items for drinking. So much alcoholic and non alcoholic options. Great for lunch. Please make reservation ahead of time. Came 20 minutes ahead and still had to sit and wait for 20 minutes more.. Husband really wanted to visit since he knew about the brand though For sure fun place to visit. Inside is spacious. Private lot in front of restaurant.

    If you're rolling through Chico and looking for a place that actually lives up to the name, Burgers…read more& Brew doesn't just talk a good game... it delivers for us! From the moment you walk up, it's got that classic brick and wood feel that says you're about to eat well. Step inside and you're greeted by a wall of taps that feels like a beer lover's playground. The place hums... great music, good energy, and a staff that's clearly in rhythm with it all. We didn't mess around with the order. My daughter went with the blue cheese burger special, her boyfriend took on the bacon jalapeño burger, and I went straight for the pastrami burger. Every one of them came out looking like a culinary masterpiece. The blue cheese had that perfect balance... bold but not overpowering as they are want to be. Her boyfriend said the bacon jalapeño brought just enough heat to keep things interesting without stealing the show, probably too weak for me ;). My pastrami burger was a heavyweight... stacked, savory, and the kind of messy you don't even try to clean up until you're done. Think Katz deli melding with a west coast hip scene burger. Now let's talk onion rings... because these deserve it. Golden, crispy, and just the right crunch when you bite in. Not greasy, not soggy, just dialed in exactly how they should be. Add the garlic sauce and now you're playing a different game altogether. That sauce is not optional, it's essential and fabulous on everything. The beer selection is deep, the kind where you stand there for a minute pretending you're making a thoughtful decision when really you just want to try everything. Service was on point from start to finish. No waiting around, no chasing anyone down... just attentive, easy, and done right. Only downside, and it's not really their fault, is parking. Downtown Chico can make you work a little for it. But once you're inside, with a cold beer in hand and a burger staring you down, you won't care how far you walked. I will be back, it is well worth the money.

    I'm local. I hadn't been there for probably a year. The five star reviews seem to be from OOT…read moreparents dropping their kids off at Chico State, people who wouldn't notice if a penguin took a dump in their French fries, because they're understandably absorbed in their fleeing children's every word and deed on an emotional weekend. Burgers are "meh", and my only reason for going back is that they have an ok lamb burger, which I haven't otherwise found north of Sacramento (where there are much better lamb burgers). The place is absolutely filthy. Greasy fingerprints on every surface that could possibly display them. Spill residue and trash everywhere. There's absolutely no way that my wife would eat here. She hasn't been there in years, and now would turn around and leave as soon as she saw the place. Looking around while eating, I couldn't finish my meal, and I left. And I'm pretty easy. I like dives, but not filth. I don't think that this is meant to be a dive, AND it's progressively become a s******e. And, all the while, the "manager", who didn't appear to "manage" anything, except for conversation and passing out free beer samples to his buddies at the bar (one of whom was clearly, from their banter, a fired former employee), did nothing else but gossip and bitch about higher management, while the employees also had multiple free beer samples, and stood around and chatted with each other. While the environment grew even more disgusting. Shouldn't these people be trying to at least keep the the place presentable, if not really clean? Isn't this a regional chain? I'm sure that no one from Sacramento has been here recently. I don't like to see a business fail, but this one deserves to.
