    I was staying in Oroville to drop off my sister to college and stumbled upon this little eatery. The food was so delicious and fresh. The prices were reasonable. I personally grabbed the sweet tooth breakfast plate because I'm a lover of French toast. It had an orange tang to it which I did not like. But I sure ate everything else on that plate! The burrito was massive and the potatoes were cooked to perfection!!!!! 10/10. Service was pretty slow as it was busy had to flag the waiter down about 5 times for some napkins but not the worst service. Check out their drink menu as it seems pretty great!

    Ethan's is a great place to go for lunch. Inside or outside seating. It's on a busy street but still nice. Parking limited out front but Raley's across the street. Service is always friendly & food is good. Prices are fare. We had ice tea, Arnold Palmer, burger & sandwich for $43.00. The portions are good sized. I ordered medium well and came out perfect. Wish they'd put the Thai chicken salad back on menu.

    Worth the drive from Chico to Oroville! Friend and I are on a biscuit and gravy kick so we decided to try this out Saturday morning. Coffee served in amazingly large cup and vanilla flavored creamer. Score! Menu is large but not overwhelming. Our amazing server whose name I did not catch made recommendations that helped us order more food than we needed. Biscuits and gravy - huge chunks of sausage, fluffy biscuits, great spice. Chilaquiles with carnitas - delish! Carnitas was on the sweeter side, I think cinnamon is a secret ingredient Bacon, avocado, tomato eggs Benedict - tasty but of the three not my favorite. Nothing particularly stood out with this dish. BONUSES - tots at breakfast!! And their country potatoes were incredibly flavorful Cute interior, even though they were busy, it didn't feel overwhelmingly loud. Ready to go back and try their mimosa sampler!!

    Ambiance is cute and spacious. Server was friendly. My Cuban wasn't great...too much meat, wrong bread and way too much mayo for my taste. Kids loved their food though. Overall this is a nice little spot in small town Oroville

    We were happy to get a seat for 6 so quickly! The service was friendly and the food came out very quickly. The atmosphere was actually pretty relaxing for a small space, it didn't feel tight or crowded even though there were a lot of people eating! Food was great, really enjoyed my Everything Avocado Bagel! I'd go back again to try some of the other menu items

    Service was great, food was good, ambiance was good. I really liked the chicken fried steak. Delicious gravy and perfectly cooked. The other two people in my party got variations of the eggs benedicts and I liked mine better, but they really enjoyed their meal. I also got hot chocolate, enticed by a photo on Yelp with whipped cream, marshmallows, and a chocolate drizzle. But it only came out with whipped cream. (Obviously not a super big deal but I was slightly bummed haha) While the ambience is cute, I do NOT like those chairs. They're those adorable metal ones that stack. They are so uncomfortable and only fit people with extremely narrow hips. So they dug into my hips the whole time. Very uncomfortable for fat folks or people with large hips, so just be aware that's the only seating option. I would absolutely come here again for the food, but probably won't make a trip to oroville for it since I'm about 20 minutes away. I also don't think the food was quite amazing enough to overcome that those chairs are the only seating option, just a personal preference.

    Ethan's is my favorite place to eat lunch in Oroville! I like the indoor or outdoor options. The staff are super friendly and all outgoing. I've ordered a lot from their menu and have never been even slightly disappointed. The food always comes out fresh and is delicious!! A+ to Ethan's and their incredible staff! Way to go!

    If you're looking for an early morning breakfast, a mid-morning brunch, or an afternoon lunch, you need to give Ethan's Eatery a try! Ethan's Eatery offers a robust breakfast and lunch menu full with classic favorites like eggs benedict, cinnamon french toast, and burgers. The interior of the restaurant is very cute, and the staff is so welcoming that you'll feel right at home. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating for those who want to take advantage of the warm Oroville days we have coming up. We arrived around 9am on a weekday morning and were seated immediately. We ordered their breakfast sammies (with your choice of meat and eggs), a belgian waffle, and the cinnamon french toast. The service is impeccable and we had our food in front of us in a timely manner. Their portion sizes are quite generous (we had plenty of leftovers to take back), and their plates are reasonably priced. You can really tell that the food is freshly made and everything eats as though grandma made it (so so comforting), a perfect way to start the morning. If you're looking for some tasty breakfast eats in Oroville, then I definitely recommend checking out Ethan's Eatery! Without a doubt, I for one will be back to sample their eggs benedict.

    Acorn Café - Mini taco as part of the carnitas scramble

    You want the best country food? The acorn cafe is it. (I…read moreonce tried black bear diner and it was actually some of the worst and most disappointing American breakfast food I've ever had) The chicken fried steak is INCREDIBLE. The steak itself is so flavorful and juicy. The gravy is beautiful (an excellent roux, not clumpy, doesn't have too much flour, perfectly balanced in velvety decadence). Eggs over easy perfectly cooked two days in a row! And the side fruit was actually very fresh and good! The home fries were good but I personally preferred the hash browns. Crispy on the outside, good ratio so it's cooked properly throughout, not too oily. And the banana foster waffle???? this is America the Beautiful. I don't know how to describe how good and sweet but somehow not overpoweringly sweet this was (I'm someone with a deep sweet tooth for decadent, dense desserts, none of that "not too sweet" classic asian vibe). This waffle is like a doting grandparents' love of spoiling their grandchildren with treats you can only get in nostalgic dreams. It definitely doesn't need any of the additional butter/maple toppings that come with it. It's perfect the way it is. And a PERFECT sweet pairing to savory chicken fried steak breakfast if you can share with someone Service is super friendly, great! Everything very clean. Great playlists. The outside of the restaurant smells like casino but I didn't think the inside smelled like casino, which was nice.

It was $14 and was completely forgettable. The bowl wasn't any where near full. The miso soup was bland. We got the quinoa added and it was totally forgettable. Said it would have green pea and sunflower shoots, but we had none. There were some green onions slices floating around on the top. We ordered two dishes to share and this one didn't fit the bill as a shareable item. For the disappointment we had in the miso it was totally made up by the vegan kale cesar salad. It was a large bowl of yum! Hearty serving of well dressed kale. The Cesar dressing delicious! Slices of cucumber, avocado and chick peas and a beautiful thick slice of bread on top. It was so filling we easily shared it and filled us up. It was $15 only a dollar more than miso broth bowl. It's was so worth every penny. The service was friendly and fast. It's a pick your own table place, which means one usually has to wipe their table down for crumbs. We don't mind. It's a cute place. We found parking fairly easy. Commercial street being blocked off to traffic is nice.

Everything was tasty and i am so glad they didn't use a bunch of butter or oil in their food! My friend has scrambled eggs with hash browns ( crispy) and biscuits snd gravy. Another large portion! Both dishes hit the spot for an early breakfast before I had to head out to Grass Valley. We had alot of leftovers and you can't beat the reasonable prices with the portions you are getting!
