    Bacon Avocado Burger w/fries
    Karlie R.

    We were in the area and craving ribs and burger. We came in on Sunday to our surprise it was slow 4 ppl with us included and quiet, clean. My sister & her fiancé had each the ribs,side of Mac and cheese and street corn. They mention the ribs were tender falling off the bone, street corns were good with a hint of tang, mac and cheese needed some more flavor. My order was a Bacon Avocado burger with fries and side of street corn. Got to admit what drew me in was the desert but they were out of it. Overall costumer service was good, he answered our questions as best he could, we enjoyed our food. We will stop by when in town.

    Three Meat Plate with brisket, ribs, and chicken.
    Elsa M.

    This is a great little place! They give lots of food. The brisket falls apart in your mouth. The ribs are great! We got the combo plates (hubby and I) and together had the brisket, half chicken, pulled pork, and spare ribs. All the meat was so good, and they have a variety of BBQ sauces on the table. The sides we got were cornbread, fries, and baked beans. I just wish this place was closer!

    Mac and Cheese with Pulled Pork.

    Really like this place. Just visiting the Dam and this place was easy access and brand new. Great food at a good price and I had leftovers too. Staff was extremely nice too

    Loaded Mac & cheese
    Diamond B.

    I visited this BBQ restaurant recently and this was maybe my 3rd time visiting, and while the overall experience was decent, there were a few things that stood out. First, the loaded mac and cheese was alright, but definitely not homemade. The beef brisk is tender, but doesn't come with bbq sauce you have to make sure to grab some yourself. I notice the loaded Mac was more of a pre-made dish with toppings thrown on. It didn't have that rich, creamy, comforting texture you the flavors were solid, though nothing really wowed me. Customer service could also use a bit of work. The staff were polite but a little distant, the food was very warm and not a long wait at all. Overall, a good place if you're craving BBQ.

    Cowboy burger and fries

    We ordered the 3 meat bbq plate, which had the beef brisket, tri tip, and chicken. The chicken was kind of dry inside, but the brisket was delicious.

    Cowboy burger & fries

    Came out to Oroville to see the dam and wanted to get lunch before heading back home to Sacramento. My mother was in the mood for bbq and I found this spot on Yelp. The interior was nice and clean, football on the tv's, and there weren't very many people eating. They had a varied menu which was bigger than I expected. I got the 2 meat plate with the brisket & ribs with tater tots and cornbread on the side. My husband got the Cowboy Burger minus the onion ring with fries. My parents shared a 3 meat plate with tri-tip, ribs and hot links with onion rings and coleslaw. The food was delicious and my husband liked his burger. The brisket and the ribs were very tender and everything tasted very well seasoned. My dad liked the Spicy Pineapple BBQ and their sweet bbq sauce was my favorite. The portions were generous and we had plenty of leftovers. I'd highly recommend stopping in and checking it out if you're passing through.

    This is a nice find in Oroville! They are located in a big shopping center where FoodMax and Grocery outlet is located. ( off of Oro Dam Blvd). They reopened less than 3 weeks ago with new owners. The place is clean inside and well staffed. They offer free tea and sell sodas( no alcohol). I ordered the 1 item plate with 2 sides. The tri tip was moist and flavorfull. The coleslaw was wonderful and their mac and cheese was creamy (best mac and cheese i have ever had). I also got a side order of the street corn...well seasoned and yummy! I shared this plate between two of us and it was plenty of food...and leftovers! I can see ordering the ribs next time. Burgers looked good too! The staff is friendly and the order came out quickly. I would definitely reccomend this place...who doesnt love a BBQ! I will be visiting this place again when i am in town!

    Pork Belly Tacos, Bacon Avocado Burger, 3 Meat Plate

    Wanted to try the food because I love smoked bbq foods. Three meat plate: the ribs were delicious. Nice and tender fall off meat that is juicy. Tangy sweet bbq sauce drizzled on top with some already glazed sauce cooked over it for that nice texture. Nicely seasoned and tasted really great.. Brisket was good, tender, and fatty. Was a bit disappointed there wasn't much of a bark on it. Still smoky and tender meat. Dash of salt and it was perfect. Tri tip was perfect. Always order a level earlier to what you enjoy. Knowing it'll sit there for a bit to rest to get to your table. Got it medium and when it came, it was a perfect juicy medium well. It was so good with the charred marks as well. Potato salad. Delicious and fresh. Simple and tasty. Coleslaw. So good when you are eating so much meat. Love the recipe and it was really enjoyable. Burger and Onion rings: simple basic bacon avocado burger. Cooked well. Unseasoned patty, but perfect when dipped in their sauces and homemade ranch. Pork belly tacos were pretty good. Crunchy pork belly topped with Cabbage and cilantro mix that made it so good and fresh. Nice creamy mild spicy sauce on top .The complaint was that most of the pork belly we got were black burnt on the sides and made the meat really dry. The tortilla also could've used some toasting/grill marks. It tasted like out of the bag, put under some heat to loosen it before it becomes cold again with no changes. Their homemade BBQ sauces.. Really disappointed because all of the sauces tasted almost identical. All sweet and tangy but it had a tiny hint of something different in each sauce. The spicy ones were sweeter than the sweet ones and not spicy at all. So no matter which bbq sauce you tried, it was like eating the same sauce but in a different tone of sweetness or tang. BBQ sauce is still good and enjoyable but gets boring. So when you're enjoying your many meats, you can't really change up the sauces for a different kick. Yes you can add hot sauces too but I wanted to enjoy the in house BBQ sauces because I was there for it. Not for other hot sauces made from popular brands. Overall Food 4/5 Service 5/5 Thank you!

We sat outside on the patio, which was lovely, and the staff were friendly and attentive without hovering. I ordered the Jam Session sandwich and I'm still thinking about it. It had roasted turkey with cream cheese and this incredible cranberry bacon jam that completely made the sandwich. The flavors worked so well together and everything tasted fresh and made to order. The fries on the side were hot, crispy, and really good too. Honestly, this place felt like something that could have been dropped right into Palo Alto or Santa Clara, CA. The look and overall vibe reminded me of a Silicon Valley café, but the prices were much more reasonable than what you'd expect for that kind of setting.

There was no salt or pepper on the meat making it bland. The caramelized onions were flavorless. The only flavor was the marbled rye bread with thousand island dressing. Hot chocolate and iced tea were the drinks. They had to go across the street to get the hot chocolate at their coffee house. Overall, this is a good place to eat. It has a nice patio out back too. I recommend that you try this place.

To start with there was one woman in front of us placing an order. Took forever. Your order taker Had to explain every single part on the Monday special burger to this lady then the order taker got into a conversation with her about milk and something else. Explained that we were short on time so they took us to the next register That starts the second part of this disappointing visit to your place. Gave our order. Asked how long it would take since we were short on time. We were told 5 to 10 minutes. 15 to 20 minutes later my wife when up to tell them to make it a Togo order since she had to get back to work. Come to find out the order was never placed. Seems that register does not connect to the kitchen. Can't for the life of me figure why you would have a register that doesn't connect to the kitchen or that your staff would not know that it doesn't. We paid $21 and change and they gave us back $18. Charged for the drinks. REALLY !!!!! Then gave us 8 - $1 gift certificates. Come on you screwed up my wife's lunch, she had to go back to work without eating lunch and you changed for drinks we didn't drink and felt $8 in $1 gift cards was enough to cover a major customer service screw up. WONDERFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE. Thanks for pointing out that Fosters Freeze Oroville is on our don't eat there again list. Would have thought they would have had something to say about the super poor customer service.

Arrived an hour early and could not resist to partake in great food and drinks. Concert started at 10PM and the kitchen begins to shutdown pushing out the final orders. Sometime afterward, the waiters are eventually restricted from placing orders. During the transition the bill must be closed out and drinks going forward are placed at the bar. Highly recommend "California Haze". Flavorful with a highest alcohol by volume (ABV) rating on tap at 8%. Not overly bitter either. A great alcohol alternative is their very own handcrafted "Lucky Buck Root Beer". Pairing with "Beer-Battered Fish and Shrimp Basket" made sense with a Double IPA (DIPA) at hand! Well-seasoned "Chicken Marsala". Could not get enough of the buttery mashed potatoes. On another day, ordered "Cobb Salad" and "Clam Chowder". Convenient while staying at the RV Park on site (Feather Falls Casino KOA). There's a dollar charge for takeout but justified. Everything was in order. Appreciated the fact they boxed the chicken separately. Responsive service with a welcoming vibe from their staff. Plenty of security making a presence. A place that draws well-mannered folks who just want to have a safe evening of fun.

It was the most dry pesto chicken sandwich I have ever had and the bun on that and a burger were hard; it seemed like they toasted the buns first then left them and then cooked the rest. We enjoyed it mostly, the price is right and the sushi was good. We all did decide we would all try something else next time and not have the same thing. Looking forward to more sushi in the future.
