Reena S.

This place was highly recommended by locals. -Wait time about 5-10 min on a Saturday without reservations. -Large booth seating available for bigger parties. -Eccentric decor, torn seats, looks a bit run down. Service was okay. -Wings are excellent as all the reviews state. -Enjoyed the spinach artichoke dip - got half pita bread, half chips. -Really liked the Jamaican bean salad. As a vegetarian, I got it without chicken, they were kind to substitute it with fresh avocado.

Fish tacos  delicious

First time visiting today - food was delicious, service was prompt and friendly, and the over all vibe of the restaurant as a whole was family friendly and welcoming. Will be back when visiting Yuba City!

Literally stumbled upon this place while passing through Yuba City on a trip and discovered a hidden gem. Great food and service. Loved the "feel" of the place. Wood surfaces, nicely decorated.

Great food, ambience and service! Five stars for Sarah, the brilliant pretty lady who helped us with our food. Will always come back here as long as she works here!

Ordered the cardboard pizza- I mean margarita pizza.
Laura P.

I'm giving them a three because the service was ok and the nachos were good. However, the real shocker of the night was the pizza we ordered. I can't believe I actually had legitimately bad pizza for the first time. If you're ever curious to try bad pizza, order the margherita pizza here. It was severely unseasoned aside of the sprinkle of black pepper, bland as a piece of cardboard, no clue what was going on with the bread. A saltine cracker with tomato would've tasted better.

Visited March 7th. Ordered on line so see my receipt on the bag…read more This is a very cool and casual place in Yuba City. Tastefully decorated inside. I ordered to go but they have an outside covered area that allows your fur babies!!! I was able to bring my puppy out to the enclosed area with his carrier. So hard to find places that allow dogs ( except Grass Valley..totally cool!). I ordered the Thai shrimp...chicken lollipops and parm chicken wings. All to go ( Ordered ahead ). Because they were not busy outside we ordered a beer and nibbled on the appetizers. My puppy loved it! My fav is the Thai shrimp! Love the sauce on them along with the coleslaw. It was a Great experience again and the Petes blonde ale was delicious! Good portions as well! Great service! If you like sports they have plenty of tvs to watch throughout the restaurant! Bring your friends and enjoy yourself!

I've been in the industry for 20 years. Don't let ego cloud your decisions…read more I sat outside in the back, empty, Sunday afternoon, expected to be slow. So ambiance was expected, quiet, slow, empty. Ordered Ahi Tuna - the Asian salad was better than the Tuna. Sear the Tuna harder, reduce the salt on your spice mix, you're taking away from the fish. Let the tuna speak. Ordered the Margherita flatbread - Served with Ranch? Com'on Had a whole half leaf of basil on it too. Chiffonade the Basil. Took a bite and BAM!, at least throw San Marzano tomatoes on there. This is Basic Italian. Either the right tomato or the right mozzarella quality, choose one, makes a world of difference. Service was as good as you can expect, no complaints there. The server seemed either overwhelmed, or overworked. Likely the latter, running a skeleton crew to save money only works for a few months then you get a negative feedback loop in hiring and training costs. Do Better. New management? Focus on your team, absorb the costs, eventually one will fail, the team or the cost. Money is recoverable, people are not.

The western burger still slaps, we have to get it every year when we come for the bok kai festival…read more Felt a little less buttery this year, but no complaints here! We'll see u again next year The house made potato chips are really good, thin, crispy, not oily, tho a little too much salt I think!

With a business name that is called "Silver Dollar Saloon", you know you've stepped into a portal…read moreinto a whole different time period. Conveniently located in the heart of downtown Maryville (at 1st & D St's), and next to the Chinese "Bok Kai Temple", this longstanding and well known restaurant/saloon/hotel has been in operation dating way back to 1858 when the peak of the gold rush era was thriving in California. Over the years, the upstairs hotel (a.k.a. "The Grand Hotel") was once a brothel amongst various operations before becoming a permanent hotel for guests to stay. Meanwhile the downstairs has served as a full-size bar complete with a ton of American comfort food to choose from on their extensive menu. I came here during the afternoon of Saturday 7/19/2025 at around 4:30pm. Since this was during the 25th annual "Marysville Peach Festival", there was a ton of customers and locals visiting during my visit. Surprisingly, parking was easy to find as I parked directly outside of the building. Once inside, you are immediately drawn to the nostalgic wooden interior. From the looks of it, not much has changed here over the years complete with vintage sepia chandeliers, huge brick ovens, taxidermy displays of various animals, and everything else that represented the wild wild west. Their menu is extensive and has just about all of the stick-to-your-ribs food you can ask for. This includes a ton of appetizers (poppers, fries, mozzarella sticks, etc.) as well as a nice variety of main course entrées that include sandwiches, burgers, salads, steaks, pastas, and much more. And since you're in a saloon, they offer all of the top whiskies, bourbons and brandies as well as a ton of beer on tap. Keep in mind that they are closed on Monday & Tuesday but open for business Wed/Thu and Sunday from 11am-8pm and Fri/Sat from 11am-9pm. After narrowing down what I wanted, I finally settled with their "French Dip" sandwich. This was a traditional and classic sandwich complete with their smoked roast beef w/Swiss cheese & mayonnaise on a hoagie roll with a side of Au Jus sauce. I opted with home fries as my side and a Coke to drink. I also ordered a starter appetizer which was their crispy "Chicken Tenders". Our server was very attentive as my +1 and I sat on a quieter side of the restaurant (near the windows). Total time took around 25 minutes to get our food; not a big deal considering this place was absolutely packed with customers. Overall, my French Dip was delicious and filling. They were generous with the thin sliced roast beef while there was the perfect amount of cheese. The au jus had the right amount of consistency as each bite hit the spot. However, the chicken tenders were just so-so as there was too much breading on the exterior. And considering these were $16.95 for 4 tenders, it was quite a bit on the pricier side. I don't want to knock this place too much but I did see quite a bit of flies by our table. But I do realize that some of these things are beyond their control with as busy as it was. All in all, the "Silver Dollar Saloon" is a good place for small and large gatherings. The service was excellent while we got filled up during our visit. My rating, an above average four stars.

Visited July 18 2026. See my receipt!…read more This location is in Yuba City. I like that it's alittle away from the traffic in Yuba City. I had my birthday dessert to redeem by July 26th so I took advantage of it! I got a cheeseburger with fries. Burgers are always good and I love how the bun is slightly toasty. The fries have a hint of pepper and not overly salty. Full bar. I chose the molten lava cake with ice cream to go. It held up really well in my ice chest! When I got home I heated up the cake alittle bit to get the chocolate inside to start oozing then put the ice cream on top. Delicious and plenty for 2 people to share! You do need to be signed up on the app to redeem special offers such as a birthday dessert. Everyone seems genuinely happy here. Employees are friendly! Thank you MYRA for serving me with a great attitude and friendly demeanor! Love this Applebees!

Unfortunately, my experience at Applebee's was disappointing. The waitress was very friendly and…read moredid her best to help, and I appreciated that the restaurant comped the meal when I expressed my concerns. However, the food itself was not good. The wait for the meal was much longer than expected, and when it finally arrived, part of it was piping hot and fresh while other items seemed like they had been sitting under a heat lamp for quite a while. The noodles were especially disappointing, with an unpleasant texture and flavor. Considering the quality of the food, I felt the prices were too high. While the customer service from our waitress was excellent, the overall dining experience did not meet my expectations.
