Burgers and Brew

3.5(475 reviews)

Burgers and Brew is one of those places I don't get to nearly as often as I'd like, but whenever…read moreI'm in the area and stop by, I'm reminded why I like it so much. The name pretty much tells you exactly what you're getting, and thankfully they're really good at both. The burgers are the main event. Big, messy in the way a good burger is supposed to be, and actually worth being hungry for. There are enough options that you can switch it up every time, although I usually end up staring at the menu for way too long just to order something similar to what I always get anyway. The fries are great alongside it, and obviously having a good beer with everything doesn't exactly hurt. The atmosphere is another reason I like this place. It's lively and casual without feeling like they're trying too hard to manufacture a "cool" restaurant. You can come in with friends, grab a burger and a beer, hang out for a while, and nobody is rushing you out the door. Service has always been friendly and pretty on top of things, even when they're busy. And considering how packed places like this can get, that deserves some credit. It's definitely not an everyday kind of meal unless you're trying to personally keep the beef industry afloat, but when you're craving a real burger, Burgers and Brew is hard to argue with. Five stars and absolutely worth coming back to.

What a great spot for some food and drink. Good options has far as beers and ciders. I was happy…read moreto see they had a Brewery X Seltzer but sad to find out they were out. We only ordered sweet potato fries. They were very good and the portion size was amazing. The main reason for the five stars is the bartender. I did not get his name but he was great. Younger guy that was very kind, respectful and made sure we were taken care of. Good spot to hang out. Restaurant was busy and a lot of the food we saw go out looked very good.

Burgers and Brew - Avocado Cheeseburger with additional bacon (2 slices) and portobello mushroom, side of garlic curly fries; best meal I've had in Chico.

Visited September 9 2026. See my receipt…read more I have wanted to go here for a long time and am so glad we did! Dog friendly inside and outside. Located in Chico. We were blown away by all the stuff ( many antiques) in a whimsical setting! Before we ordered lunch we wanted to take a look at everything. Almost like a funky museum! So much to see on the walls and hanging above in the ceiling! Huge outdoor patio and dancing upstairs. We shared the Bear Burger for just under 13 bucks. I omitted the lettuce. The burger was done just right and the bun had a nice slightly toasted feel. We also shared garlic fries ( i asked for extra garlic) and they were delicious! We enjoyed a glass of wine and a beer. GARRETT waited on us at the order area and he was so polite and wonderful! Cute! Just so you know you place the order at the counter and pay then they call your name on the speaker to pick up. Bartender was also very delightful and my puppy really warmed up to him! Service was fast in a very fun environment! Ps..I think they offer 99 cent shots on the weekends! I bet the college kids love this place at night! Great experience and I will be back! Great vibes!

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.

So if I was basing they review on food alone it's an easy 4 to 4.5 stars. Service was lacking. I arrived first and took a small table in the very back corner. When the waiter came by I let them know I was meeting a friend I hadn't seen in over a year and we were planning a long lunch. It was a Saturday afternoon and not busy. My guest arrived and the sever didn't come back for at least 10 min. But ok. No biggie. We ordered a soda and an iced tea. When those arrived we ordered food. My tacos came quickly and then we sat, looking at my food while we waited for the other entrée, the burger. 10 minutes later it shows up served by another server, no explanation or even acknowledgement that it took 10 minutes between me being served and my companion being served. Anyway our server was MIA for the rest of our stay. No offer of a refill for our beverages, no asking if the food was ok. Nothing. We stayed about 2 hours total and my normal policy is to double the tip because I have taken a table for about twice as long as normal. Unfortunately service was sub par. Oh and tea was incredibly strong not in a good way.

A little later more crew arrived, as more patrons did as well. Small but obviously well patronized. 2 Modelos on tap slightly above $12, prices these days. High chairs throughout keeps you on your toes, sort of speak, but I noticed outdoor patio did offer regular seating? Weather withstanding, that is. Bathroom clean, and yes, I am aware that this place has repeat business. 6 Modelos on tap would cost $36 plus, no food included or gratuity, which easy for 2 could surpass $100. We departed fast and did not enjoyed Friday festivities. 3 Stars.

Parkside Tap House

3.3(305 reviews)

I blame my daughter for this review…read more Last week we were headed to sushi when the smell coming from Parkside Tap House ambushed us on the sidewalk. Being pregnant, she's operating with heightened food detection abilities that rival military technology, so she immediately declared, "We're coming back here." A week later we returned with her boyfriend and brother, and what followed can best be described as a competitive eating event. The hostess greeted us warmly, got us seated quickly, and we settled into the lively outdoor patio. Great atmosphere, cold drinks, sports on the TVs, and just enough energy to feel fun without feeling chaotic. We started with ahi bites, beer cheese pretzels, jalapeño poppers, and Brussels sprouts. The ahi bites were fantastic. Fresh ahi, creamy avocado, crispy wontons, and a little heat at the finish line. The pretzels were soft enough to pull apart with your fingers and the beer cheese was rich and addictive. The jalapeño poppers got an unexpected upgrade from the blackberry BBQ sauce, which gave them a sweet, smoky personality all their own. Then there were the Brussels sprouts. Whoever thought of pairing Brussels sprouts with blackberry drizzle deserves a raise. Sweet, savory, crispy, tender, and impossible to stop eating. For dinner we sampled the taco bowl, brisket bowl, rice bowl loaded with brisket, and a house salad. The taco bowl was colorful, fresh, and loaded with flavor. The brisket bowl was my personal favorite. Smoky brisket over fried rice with vegetables, crispy wontons, cotija cheese, and a sweet-spicy sauce that kept me digging in long after I should have stopped. The rice bowl with added brisket was almost comical when it arrived. Massive chunks of brisket perched on top like they owned the place. Tender, smoky, juicy, and worth every penny. Even the house salad was fresh enough to remind us we were technically eating vegetables. What stood out most was that every dish felt like someone in the kitchen actually cared. Nothing felt thrown together. Portions were generous, flavors were bold, and everything hit the table looking as good as it tasted. We originally found Parkside by following our noses. After this meal, we'll be following our cravings back

Finally made it to Bunburger. It's a pretty place! The burgers were very good! I had a veggie burger with mushrooms and my friend had chicken and mushrooms. It didn't seem to take long to get our food, especially since there is baking involved. The fries and coleslaw was very good, too. Worth the price and no more expensive than other nicer burger restaurants. The service was good. read more

We have been to Bun Burger once a month while he has been open. It is a uniquely made burger that we enjoy. Since the burger is cooked inside the bun it is delicious and juicy.
