Ethan's is one of my favorite restaurants in Oroville. I really enjoyed their food when they first opened originally and after their reopen I wasn't too fond of the changes. But recently, their food, service and atmosphere has been wonderful. My favorite items are the Country Fried Steak and Chilaquiles Verde! The Country Fried Steak is huge and the gravy pairs nicely with it. I also love the fries that are seasoned perfectly and not overly salty. Recently I tried the Chilaquiles Verde and I was impressed at the balance of flavors and texture! The green salsa was not too acidic and was very delicious but not too heavy. The service here is great, and they've got some outdoor seating which is great to bring your furry friend along! read more

Wow! So this was recommended to us by the rad girls at Starbucks... thank you ladies! The place was chill and decently packed on a Thursday (we went last week). We ordered a BLT with extra bacon and a chicken fried steak - both to share. Holy wonderfulness! That chicken fried steak was bomb as all hell! We agreed it's gotta be the best we both tried.... It was perfection in your mouth for sure! From the crisp to the gravy. The BLT was amazing. We will be back!!! Like soon. Thanks for being killer to eat at! :) read more

Visited April 5 2026.. See my receipt as always. This is my favorite place for breakfast in Oroville! Today is Easter so we wanted a nice breakfast as I am cooking prime rib tonite! The classic breakfast is my favorite..2 eggs with 3 bacon and a ton of potatoes! Plus English muffin! Eggs are always fluffy and the bacon is crispy as I asked. My friend got the build your own omelet..he had mushrooms and sausage with cheddar cheese. ENORMOUS! tons of potatoes and he got the rye swirl bread. Their portions are plentiful and they are well staffed with friendly employees ( thanks Ally!) Plenty of leftovers. Outside dining is dog friendly!! Btw..spicy bloody Mary was perfect! read more

First of all, they waitresses are all good! We got seated right away. Good thing as 15 minutes later the place filled up. The menu looked good with many good sounding choices. #1 was eggs Benedict, #2 was 3 item omelet. The eggs Benedict was good. The omelet was not good. I ordered sausage, avocado, and pepper jack cheese. It was flavorless. The sausage was boiled and looked unattractive and had no taste, I had to use a lot of salt, pepper, and hot sauce to get flavor. The side dishes we ordered country potatoes, they were cooked well. Just needed salt and pepper. The portions are big. Two people could share either of these 2 dishes. Prices were about the same as other places, however a glass of OJ is $4.50, iced tea is $4.00. Those seem too high, especially the tea. Its water!!! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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!! read more

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 read more

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 read more

Ethan's Eatery - Everything Avocado Bagel - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Oroville, California

Newly reopened. Prices were moderate. Ordered grille combo plate (eggs, bacon pancakes). Eggs were cooked perfectly however the pancakes were a bit "tough". Not fluffy. We also had a Benedict. Food was served more on the cold side than hot side. Sent plate back to the kitchen so they could heat up the food in the microwave. Eggs were served undercooked. read more

The food is so good! The coffee cups are so cute. Portions are great for the price! You really get your full bang for your buck. The staff are very friendly. Their fun drinks are the cherry on top. Highly recommend Ethan's Eatery! read more

The food is amazing I get a bacon cheeseburger the barbecue sauce is tasty the staff gives the best of service they are always doing something, like they should. Situated on the corner of Mitchell and Myers. They have to pack in the patrons into the three areas two inside and one out. read more

Their bloody marys are made with soju, not vodka. The mimosa flight was great but the waitress didn't tell us which flavors were which so we had to guess. The bbq bacon jam burger and the breakfast burgers were delish!! Food and drinks were good but the service could have been improved. The parking lot is pretty small so we had to park across the street. You might have a wait on a Sunday morning but we were able to squeeze 5 of us into a small table with one chair on the end read more

Worst pancakes I've ever had. Whatever mix they're using is terrible. Odd artificial vanilla taste to them. I ordered eggs scrambled well done, but they were so wet and soft I couldn't tolerate them. I didn't complain. No one ever came back to the table after our food was dropped off to check on us at all. I sampled hub's biscuits and gravy-it was just ok, gravy a little too thick and salty for us, and I spit out a tiny piece of bone. Waitress dropped off the bill without being prompted, and offered a to go box. I said I'll take a box for the dogs please, and she didn't even notice. So service disappointed. My bacon was good. But unfortunately I can't go back just for bacon. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Excellent!! All three people in our group loved their meals. We really enjoyed the breakfast foods. The sausage patty that came with the breakfast was one of the best I have ever tasted. My father -in-law truly enjoyed his waffle meal. He ate every bite of his meal and some of my biscuits and gravy LOL. Hubby said the coffee was really good too. This place isn't cheap... about average for a brunch type place, however, you get your money's worth. The servings are pretty large. They were fairly crowded when we were there on a Thursday around noon. read more

A group of my girlfriends and I tried Ethan's yesterday for the first time. I am a fan!! We each got mimosa flights, and they had a buuuunch of different juice options. My favorite was the apple cider which is their seasonal juice right now. For brunch I had the breakfast burrito, sub bacon & no beans and it was deliiiiicious. Big, included potatoes which is always a plus, and had a yummy salsa on the side. My girls tried the eggs Benny, French toast, sides, avocado toast, and each of us loved what we got. Their wait staff is very friendly and on it, even though they were packed. Can't wait to visit them again! read more

Best breakfast in town! Not a bad thing on the menu! Quick service , great ambience and of course the servers are all friendly!

Service was great. Food was meh. Burger overcooked. Bacon overcooked and tough as leather. Prolly won't be back.

Food cost are going up for sure. I can't blame the business, but I was hoping for more. Service was very prompt and efficient. I ordered the huevos with pork. Not very fresh tasting, nor was the sauce flavorful. read more

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit today. Friendly smiling workers. Very attentive servers and tasty food.

our favorite date spot ! best breakfast and lunch in town. service is always 10/10 . we can't wait for it to re open !

First time here at Ethan's and I have got to say, the breakfast was AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS! I had the smothered breakfast burrito with chorizo and green sauce and it was so good. The potatoes looked burnt but they were not! They were nicely seasoned with good flavor! The service was amazing. I wish I got her name so I can give her kudos. But the staff overall were really nice. read more

Good food good service. Large menu and Large portions. Expect to wait to get a seat. Busy place.

Great atmosphere, good food! Servers was nice but she did miss a few things. I was asked if I wanted a refill on my drink and she never returned with the refill. She also forgot my sons milk with his food. Overall good service though. I ordered the Louisiana Hot Chicken Sandwich and my only complaint would be that it wasn't hot or spicy. If you're looking for spicy I guess you need to add the hot sauce they charge extra for. My husband loved the French dip! Said it was amazing. He ate the whole thing haha. My 3 year old devoured the pancakes and loved the blueberries! read more

They were pretty busy but sat us quickly and got our drinks quickly. Our waitress was far from friendly. The coffee was VERY weak, not good, but we drank it anyway. Only one cup cus no one ever came back to offer more the whole time we were there. Also, I couldn't get anyone's attention. They all avoid looking at you. The food came out very quick and was really good and large portions. My husband's "build your own scramble" was built incorrectly but was still good. read more
