Definitely worth the drive! Really cool spot in Etna. While visiting Mt Shasta, we took a day trip over to Etna to check out Taylor lake and a few other sites of interest. Denny Bar Company was really cool! We had the sweetest waitress. We sampled a few spirits and had a lovely meal on the front porch with our pups. The pizza was incredible! They weren't very busy so we were able to get a split pizza since we couldn't decide. While both sides were delicious, the dill pickle pizza absolutely stole the show and will be one we attempt to recreate at home. The other had blueberries, roasted garlic, caramelized onions, arugula, and prosciutto. Both were truly unique and a wild ride for our tastebuds. Excellent old fashioned root beer too. Neat historic building. Beautiful still inside. A very classy place. Definitely a gem!! read more

Service is always top notch, even the executive chef may pop by to make sure you are doing well. The food is outstanding tried the butternut squash and braised lamb enchiladas and they are so good. The lamb takes 8 hours alone to prepare so get it while it's still on the special. We also got the tomato and burrata appetizer and it was amazing. Start it off with an exquisitely handcrafted cocktail and by the end I was in heaven. read more

My husband and I drove about an hour for our anniversary dinner. What a cute place with great menu options. Our servers were all very friendly and attentive. We started with the Vietnamese Pork Belly Tostadosas an appetizer. They were super yummy although a little messy to eat. Maybe would be less messy as a taco. For our mains my husband had the ribeye and I had the Blueberry Prosciutto Pizza. The steak was perfectly cooked (yes I stole a bite) and the potato wedges were crispy but yet creamy on the inside. The flavor on my pizza was amazing but it was pretty soggy in the middle, I had to fold it over to get it to my mouth. I'm sure they were fresh blueberries so I'm not sure where all the moisture came from to make it soggy. Ive had that happen sometimes with other wood fire ovens. Nonetheless, I can't wait to go back to try all the things on the menu! read more

We come here all the time and sometimes the experience is great but lately the experience has been more like last night. The staff was welcoming and friendly but we were seated and forgotten about for 10+ minutes and then it took another 10 minutes to get our beer & wine. We were one of three tables; there were plenty of staff. I had to get up to request condiments and later flag the waitress down for another drink. The food was thrown together with very little care & my burger was missing all the toppings described on the menu and our sides were mixed up. All this with the "Manager" right there, strolling around casually chatting with her staff. Very Disappointing! read more

Hidden gem in a small town off the beaten path... pleasantly surprised by the quality and flavor of each dish. Excellent service! The Fish & Chips is one of the best we've had! Two whole fish fillets (not positive what kind of fish, not cod) and a condiment cup of coleslaw with a lemon wedge. The fish batter was light and crispy, not at all greasy. The sauces could all pass for homemade; full of flavors that work well together.. It comes with either fries or salad for $19.00 *Would order this again :) The Bahn Mi Bowl (minus rice) was initially served with sauce all over the top of the dish. It was just way too much sauce *imo*. The waitress was so sweet and it was no biggie to have it re-made with sauce on the side. The combination of ingredients in the bowl were so flavorful together, that it really didn't need the extra sauce on top. The crispy diced pork belly was marinated and the cabbage was tossed in a ginger soy flavored sauce. The pickled red onions, thinly sliced jalapenos and the lime wedges were a nice bursts of freshness that made the bowl feel filling without feeling heavy. $23 is a little pricey for a raw cabbage based salad, but I'm glad I tried it :) Now that I know that it's here... I'll definitely be back for the distillery tasting located towards the rear of the building *so unique* read more

The servers are so friendly and helpful. It is like coming home when we eat there. The food is consistently good.

New Year's Eve lunch + Denny Bar Co = AMAZING! Beautiful pad with great food and lots of class. Great service!! Had the garlic knots, of course!! Always amazing! Big Foot burger was fabulous! Hot honey, pepperoni pizza was delicious!! Lemon drop to finish! Happy New Year to us!! read more

Great little spot in Etna. Crafty, local distillery, but the food is a step above. The pizzas are excellent, perfect! crust from a large oven. Meat lovers was great and the blueberry was fun and balanced. One brave person tried the ahi. Despite my reservations, it was really good. Tuna was fresh, rice and seasonings style correct. The mayo was good, but honestly I would do more of a spicy aoli with some ginger slivers. Service was top notch! Fast, courteous, and the reservation name is a nice touch. This restaurant would hold its own anywhere in NorCal. Definitely worthwhile and fun. read more

Amazing food, amazing service! Get a reservation if you can but if not, they are fantastic at fitting you in. The burgers are delish and salads are soooo good. You can't lose eating here. The Shasta Spritzer was a tasty cocktail made with their own distilled gin and if you are going for non-alcoholic, the Ruby Spritz was yummy as well. This would be my go to place if I didn't live 4 hours away! The staff are so friendly and accommodating as well. This is a win win spot! There's also a cool back room with the old vault where you can buy merch. This place has great ambiance that is old west cool with casual elegance. Eat here!!! read more

Went there for lunch on a Friday afternoon right when they opened. Burger was phenomenal ( it was the one with the candied bacon jam). Drunken pot stickers were also excellent. I didn't take a picture but the lavender lemonade was really refreshing. I wouldn't hesitate to go back. Good ambiance and I bet on a weekend night it's pretty lively. read more

We love this place. The food is wonderful and the service is also great always friendly and fast. If it is a special occasion, this is a nice place to have dinner or lunch the drinks are awesome. You can eat outdoors or in. You may even see someone ride up on their horse go in and have something refreshing. If I could I would eat there every week. Ow! the drive very nice.

It was such a beautiful spring day that I rode past Mt. Shasta; its top covered in a huge Lensic cloud, through the forests and Scotts Valley hay fields rimmed with snow-capped mountains to Etna for brunch at Denny Bar Co. A busy place, especially considering how remote it is, but it is a sophisticated setup with high ratings. Their Etna scramble was very good: pan-fried cubes of potato mixed with some ham, onion and bell pepper covered by scrambled egg that was covered in cheese plus sourdough toast on the side. I also indulged in an Eel River Amber beer--excellent. read more

BLUF - A rare find in an area not normally known for its excellent cuisine. Service 5/5 - I dined at this location twice and the service was consistently cheerful, knowledgeable, and excellent. I had the pleasure of interacting with Sarah who knew not only the history of the location, but all of the tasting notes and intricacies that went into the production of their bobrun, gin, and vodka. I also was able to see a fantastic bartender, Hannah (the anagram) who was able to quickly, accurately, and consistently produce large drink orders with precision and still have time to engage with customers. On my first visit I was genuinely impressed because the entire staff seemed to be a group of great employees who were well lead, executing at a genuinely high level. I have rarely seen this level of service, so the leadership and management should be proud. As a student and advisor for leadership issues, this was a great example of how to do it right. Personality 5/5 - The location is in a historic building that was established during the gold rush years of this small town. It really does a great job of respecting the history (the tables are made from some original floorboards) while showcasing the distillery and the tasting room. I have been to several historic locations across the country that leaned too much into history or were too gimmicky, and the food was not that great. This location definitely strikes a great balance between the two. Quality 4.85/5 - The menu is an interesting collection of offerings that range from what would be considered standards at other excellent restaurants, with a few that reach the level of higher end locations without being pretentious. Everything was delicious, well-prepared, and consistent. My consistency rating is derived from conversations with other locals who said the dishes they ordered were their favorite, and it is the same every time they order it. The reason I did not give a perfect score is that on a few dishes some of my group were a little overwhelmed with the garlic. I think this could easily be fixed by offering "A little" or "standard" garlic. I was delighted with the garlic level, clearly I am not a vampire. Recommendation 5/5 - I believe this is worth a dedicated trip, perhaps not from the other side of the country (but why not it is a unique area), but definitely if you are in a neighboring state (or two) There are plenty of hiking, hunting, fishing, and other outdoor opportunities that could occupy your time in between meals and there are other interesting locations that offer excellent products that would also be worth your attention. Congratulations. read more

My life will never be the same anymore. What an amazing place! We started off with the Burrata - which is an experience in and of itself. But then *drum roll* we had the Wild West Burger. A mix of elk/bison/wagyu and wild boar meat and let me tell you.... I wasn't ready: the heavens broke open, angels literally descended down upon me and my mouth had an other worldly celebration. The Chrysalis mocktail was some sort of glorious sorcery and it tasted so good. By far the best food ever. The staff was absolutely amazing - we talked about the area, they were excellent with recommendations and overall such a pleasure. 12/10 recommend and will be back. Thank you Denny Bar Co! read more

Dennys Bar Co., is spectacular. The food outstanding in terms of ingredients, taste and presentation. They are also a distillery and in that realm they exceed expectations. No matter where you live.

the one star is for the ambiance. I ordered a gin and tonic and it was served with multiple day old lime that was extremely dry, I asked for fresh cut lime and was given a bowl of half old half newly cut limes. The food was edible but the pizza I ordered had an olive pit. I don't blame them because they were probably canned black olives. Our to go food for the kids was never made so im preparing dinner now and the kids are pissed they didn't get their burgers. This place has so much potential and that is probably the reason I am so let down. This was my first time eating here and I'm kinda disgruntled that I'm cooking dinner right now. I truly hope the best for this place. read more

The food was delicious here! My husband loved his cocktails as well. Such a hidden gem for a small town. Usually, if you're the only restaurant in town, you can get by with mediocre food. Denny bar does not do this and goes above and beyond! read more

My wife and I drove to Etna for a short weekend getaway. First stop was the Etna Brewery for an after the drive brewsky, then over to Denny Bar Co. for a few hours of enjoyment. First we took the tour of the distillery and enjoyed a few samples of their delicious spirits, then we were seated for an awesome dinner. We ordered the Scallops and Bacon Linguine paired with a "Perfect" Manhattan cocktail...both were spot on delicious! We left with smiles and very satisfied! Will definitely be back again! read more

We started with a wonderful tour of the distillery and followed closely with tastings of many of their fine products. Everybody in the restaurant was kind, attentive, and interested in the clientele, enjoying their time there. Lots of fun with really great food! Looking forward to returning After I've consumed the items that we brought home with us. Thanks for a lovely afternoon! read more

I really wish I didn't have to drive 12-13 hours to go here. That being said, I am a huge fan of their spirits and have ordered many a time online. I usually get up there once a year and I make sure to stock up as well as enjoy their food, which is almost always a great experience. I recommend a tour of the distillery, that way you can get a free sample! Wish I lived closer or they had a place like this in So. Calif. read more

Denny Bar Company - Front door, outside patio. - Distilleries Near Me - Etna, California

Very very mixed experience. The hostess was very rude. We came in with our children and I knew they'd be getting pizza and would just make a mess of the rolled up silverware so I gave it to the hostess saying "we won't need these, we din't want to give you guys extra dishes or work" and she gave we a really weird look and a "ummm okaay" and asked if we would use the napkins on them and I said I could get some napkins separate, honestly I was just trying to save them from doing extra dishes. I know walking in with kids can make some staff uneasy and I'm always thinking about making it all as easy as possible. The pizza is very good, but the clam chowder (which is $27!!!) and grilled cheese are terrible. The grilled cheese has nothing on the grilled part of the bread, no butter or mayo, just dry toasted and the cheese was barely melted. The fries are really neat and tasted good. We are from Monterey, if chowder in a bread bowl is on the menu I'm ordering it, my blood is mostly clam chowder now. It was the worst I've ever had. First, had I known the price I would not have bothered, I saw it on the specials board and didn't look at the menu, just would never occur to me they'd charge that much so I didn't check. I even double checked prices in Monterey to make sure it wasn't an across the board trend, nope, typical is $15-17 which is what I expected. So how was the nearly $30 chowder? I scraped the toppings off because I was there for the soup, I wouldn't put bacon on clam chowder anyway. The texture was glue like, grainy, needed salt, and it was like the ingredients had been ground together to make a rubbery ground turkey like substance. I could not discern any ingredient from the other. The bread bowl was burnt to a crisp and inedible. I had no intention of sending it back or saying anything but when the waiter asked I tried to as nicely as possible say it wasn't for me. The server get's 5 stars, he was always attentive and asked to bring something else. I said no think you (I didn't want to stay too long, never know how long a 3 year old will behave themselves in a restaurant) and he very kindly took the chowder off our check. He was great. I'd come back for the pizza, they should stick to what they do well! The atmosphere is great. We haven't been to Etna in a while and were sad to see the pharmacy gone but this looks like a great gathering place and the community deserves it. And maybe have a chat with the hostess (tall, slim, dark hair in a bun) about her facial expressions and attitude with guests. read more

First off, I want to say thank you to ALL THE STAFF that works there, especially those that worked July 26th and 27th evening. My family were the table of 10, two night in a row. We are all part of the original Denny family that your establishment is named after. We had such a great time, the food and the service were just awesome. The cash register in back is the one I grew up seeing in my grandfather's garage. A.H. Denny, who started the Denny Bar Company with Mr. Bar, was my great great grandfather. We were there to learn more about our family history. There is more to the Denny Bar history at the Yreka and Etna museums. Keep it going. We all had a great time. Thanks again. read more

Great! Good food and service. Never disappointed. Some of the best steaks! Great for date night

Setting the bar high in the cute, quaint little town of Etna you'll find some creative eats and drinks from this distillery and restaurant. Hiding out in Scott Valley, the town of Etna is a blast from the past. Farm lands meet the mountains with a stop off from the Pacific Crest Trail make for a unique location for Denny Bar. Everything I've had (except the calamari, tears) was unique, flavorful and exceptional. From burgers and fries to soup, apps and their wood fired pizzas and cocktails- it's all on point! I'm saving the 5th star for my next visit when I actually get to tour and taste their spirits. The last time we were there they recently reopened due to COVID and were not offering tours (for safety reasons). We got reservations ahead of time and were glad we did...place filled up quick and many waited or were turned away... either way it was a good sign that they are putting it down, 100! read more

What an amazing gem of a place in this little town! The ambiance is very urban and trendy, the food? The food is excellent with big portions and they have a variety of options for meat lovers, vegetarians and vegans alike. This place is also a distillery and you can tell with the quality of their drinks. The flavors of every thing here is superb. We were visiting family in Yreka and if you know this town you don't expect much, so when they took us into Etna (a 40 min drive) and brought us here we are blown away. Wish we had a restaurant like this in Napa. Well done! read more

I am tempted to not review only to keep this place a secret but let me tell you it deserves a 10 start review. We went there for the first time last night and called ahead. They had our table waiting for us with a name tag that was so welcoming. Everything from the moment we walked in till we walked out was perfect. We had the shrimp stuffed shells, which was one of the best things we've ever eaten. The drinks are well-made. The ambience is perfect. The staff is all so helpful and sweet. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu I would guess. We will definitely be back. Thank you, Sarah for making this place ahead and gem that we will enjoy for years to come. read more

Been to Denny Bar many times, but this was the first time in quite awhile. Haven't been happy the last couple times. This time, ordered a "rib eye" steak. The other 3 people in our party tried other things. It was NOT a ribeye. I eat steak a lot, both at home and out. It had no flavor, and ribeyes are so flavorful due to the fat, it was probably a top sirloin they were trying to pass off as something better. Probably will be our last time trying Denny Bar. Love the atmosphere, but just want good food in Siskiyou. read more

I don't know if you are in Siskiyou County or Southern Oregon this weekend, but if you are GO TO DENNY BAR and have the specials. My hubby and I had all the weekly specials and they were outstanding. I am a foodie and travel to Napa Valley annually to Micheline Star restaurants to dine and this was "Napa worthy" dining. The BACON & BLEU STUFFED PEARS provided a balance of sweet and savory. The MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN SKEWERS with their varied sides was plentiful-think incredible Greek flavors. The PISTACHIO ALFREDO was a rich flavorful pasta, I wouldn't say I tasted the pistachio but what I did taste was so yummy. Finally the WOOD-FIRED BLUEBERRY PIE was more of a popover and provided a wonderful end to an outstanding dinner. Do NOT miss out on this amazing fare. read more

My friend and I came to town for a long weekend get away to give him inspiration for writing his vows. While we were driving through town we came across The Distillery. While we didn't know if they served food, we were feeling a little thirsty. When we first walked in we were met with a friendly smile and a warm welcome. Though we didn't have reservations, they made room for us as long as we could give back the table by a certain time. This was already above and beyond but the real magic happened when our appetizers arrived. The brussels sprouts were incredible, the bread was like a chewy cloud, and they brought us an order of firecracker shrimp for free because there was a mistake in the kitchen. Afterwards the manager came over to talk to us and tell us the story of the place. All in all we had ab awesome time here. Service 12/10. Food 12/10. Ambiance 12/10. The distillery in the back is functioning and they do tastings. We loved this place so much we went all three days we were in town. The last day we went for lunch and dinner. Thank you to you all. Next time we're in town we will be back for sure. Also, sorry this review is long overdue. We saw them in May read more
