But the chicken sandwich was extremely dry and didn't have much flavor apart from just being spicy. The service is awful, we were in an empty restaurant and the hostess visited us twice the entire meal. No refill on our waters which were empty almost our entire visit, we asked for silverware for the table and she brought us only 1 set (we were a table of 5). I asked for ranch for the table, and she brought us 2. There was zero urgency to bring us our bill once we finished eating. I wouldn't return solely for the lack of service.

My coworkers and I placed a large order for our staff and teachers and came to pick it up on June…read more30 at around 10:50 a.m. There were two employees working: a younger woman and an older, skinny man. The younger woman greeted us and asked how she could help. We told her we were picking up a large order with about 15 meals. The man immediately responded with something along the lines of, "Yeah, I figured," in a very dismissive and rude tone. Trying to move past that, I asked the younger employee if I could borrow a Sharpie so we could label the drink cups with everyone's names. When I looked over at the man, I saw him sigh and act visibly annoyed, as if we were inconveniencing him just by asking. What bothered me the most was that while we were packing the drinks, two white, blue-collar workers came in. His attitude changed instantly. He was friendly and polite with them, while he had been cold and rude toward us the entire time. When I finished using the Sharpie, I noticed they were both busy, so I simply set it on the counter. The man came over, grabbed it aggressively, handed it to the younger employee, and sarcastically said, "Here's your Sharpie back." Large orders are part of working in food service. If preparing them is frustrating, that shouldn't be taken out on customers. Everyone deserves to be treated with the same level of respect and courtesy. I appreciate the younger employee for remaining polite and helpful, but the older man's attitude made what should have been a simple pickup an unpleasant experience.

Bella's is one of those Chico places that just feels like Chico. It's been a downtown staple for…read moreyears, and even though I don't make it in nearly as often as I used to, every time I go back it feels pretty much exactly how I remember it, in a good way. The wings are the obvious move here. Bella's has built a reputation around them for a reason. They're big, messy, loaded with flavor, and absolutely not something you order when you're trying to look civilized. If you leave with completely clean hands, I'm not sure you actually ate wings. The rest of the food holds its own too, but coming to Bella's and not at least considering the wings feels slightly disrespectful. The atmosphere is exactly what you want from a downtown sports pub. TVs everywhere, games on, people talking over each other, drinks moving around, and enough noise to make the place feel alive without completely losing the ability to have a conversation. On a big game day, it's even better. Service has always been friendly and laid-back in my experience, even when they're slammed. There's nothing overly polished about Bella's, and honestly, I wouldn't want there to be. That's part of the charm. I don't go out in downtown Chico nearly as much as I used to, but Bella's is still one of those places I'm always happy to end up at. Good wings, cold drinks, sports on every screen, and that familiar downtown Chico energy. Some places don't need to reinvent themselves. They just need to keep doing what made people like them in the first place. Bella's is one of those places.

The serving is so HUGE and they are spiced to the max with a great mix of cheese (lots of it!), bell peppers, onions, and hamburger (I think), whatever the meat is... ITS DELISH!!

It hasn't been very busy when I've been there which is great because that means I'll get my order quickly ;) I mean, at happy hour I'm going for the deal not the people so... it works for me!

The Bear - Downtown Chico My husband, my brother, and I…read morestopped at The Bear after a morning hike one weekend. We were starving, and the food hit the spot. I especially loved the curly cheese fries, and the fried chicken sandwich was good too. The place is steeped in history. I'm not really a bar person and the energy isn't quite my vibe, but there's a lot to appreciate--especially the wild ceilings packed with random items. It's unique and full of character, even if it isn't perfectly aligned with my usual preferences. My husband, a local who grew up in Butte County, shared some great stories about his Chico State days, back when this was still a quieter town of wealthy families with unpaved roads. Those little pieces of local history made the visit even more interesting. A solid, character-filled stop if you enjoy the Bar vibe, you're hungry after a hike and open to a place with real personality.

I was visiting my son in Chico and had heard that "The Bear" was a must-do for Chico…read more The restaurant itself is very vibe-y. It is a lot! Loads of TVs with a variety of sports events playing. We ordered at the counter and then sat down at a table. We only waited about 15 minutes to get our food. My son and I ordered the Great Bacon Burger and specialized it to our liking. I ordered the side salad and he got curly fries. His roommate ordered the Near Burger with curly fries. When we got our food, the boys' burgers were not the way they had ordered them (one had cheese and the other had tomatoes). And it wasn't clear was whose was whose. My side salad was basic basic fare. I should have ordered the curly fries. I probably won't be back, but it was fun to visit the iconic Chico restaurant.

The prices are fair as well.

When I saw Chico had a Woodstocks, I had to visit! We got a small salad and a personal pizza (the even do half/half on personals!). Service was friendly and prompt, and our drinks and salad came out quickly. I did an "upgrade" on my cocktail to add an additional shot for $3 (visiting Chico after all!) and it was perfect! Great addition! Greek salad was super fresh and delicious! Lots of great flavorful veggies, and a great dressing. Our personal pizza came out a few minutes later, and was still dangerously hot! I love it when I get food that is so fresh it is still piping hot! Pizza was awesome - plenty of toppings, and the classic curled/folded crust is still a hit! Awesome! Always glad to see these old institutions holding up! Woodstocks is a classic! On another note - they were doing live music and letting local bands play on one side of the restaurant - and drew a crowd on the street and across the street! I love to see businesses that support the arts -and this really added to the lively and festive atmosphere! Good on you Woodstocks! Sorry, just got a good shot of the salad - trust me, the pizza was awesome too - apparently we couldn't control ourselves when it hit the table!

The butter chicken sauce was absolutely delicious, with a wonderful blend of spices that was rich and flavorful without being overpowering. It had lots of juicy, tender chunks of chicken and came with a serving of rice. The tandoori chicken was equally delicious . It was moist, flavorful, and I don't know what they're using in their marinade, but it was delicious. The portion size was generous--two thighs, two drumsticks, and a large serving of rice with vegetables. It felt like a great value for the price. I ordered takeout, so I can't comment on the dine-in service, but everyone I interacted with during pickup was friendly, helpful, and welcoming. The restaurant has a cozy ambience, and they have a photo wall for selfies. Overall, a great first experience. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu.

Unlike the lovely service we had going there the first time, the service at the restaurant today was severely lacking. Our server just put our drinks in the middle of the table and we had to figure out whose drink was whose. When the food came out, my friend asked if they had a small crab fork. She looked at him confused and then went and got him, I kid you not, the largest dinner fork I've ever seen. Another server came to check on us and when my friend asked again about a small crab fork, the server explained "oh no we only have those large forks sorry." And then left. The food itself was great but the corn in my bag was BARELY cooked, which was really disappointing. The restaurant also applies tip for you so...do with that what you will.
