This place is great! I can't believe I haven't tried them until recently. Tasty food, decently priced. I had the BBQ jerk chicken with macaroni and baked beans. The chicken was cooked perfectly, all sauces provided were so tasty. The beans had huge delicious pieces of pork- so good! The service was great, I even saw them give a sample to a lady who wasn't sure was an item was. As far as the ambiance goes, it's a nice place for a quick sit because the inside is so small (but there is also outdoor seating). Inside could benefit from some lamps and less bright overhead lighting for a more inventing dine-in experience- in my opinion. But overall great spot and I'll be back! read more

This place is great! I tried the brisket and the jerk chicken bowl, both were awesome. The lemonade is also really good. Gonna miss when my work project ends. Good music playing, cool art hanging, but most important is the good food and nice staff. Thanks, I appreciate you! read more

Tried the chicken and the pork last night and a bunch of sides. Everything was absolutely delicious.

Best jerk chicken and bast mac n cheese I have ever had in my whole life. Love their lemonade too! They have amazing service always so friendly and kind. Love the music and vibe of indoor and outdoor seating provided. read more

Juice Unwind - Jerk chicken, Mac n cheese, rice, lemonade - Caribbean Near Me - Chico, California

I love the jerk, chicken! I've been here several times this week alone just to get it. I also like their baked beans just sweeten enough and savory. I definitely recommend this for some amazing barbecue. read more

Why haven't you been? That's what I asked myself last night when I finally rolled in after reading a sassy retort to an asshat reviewer on this page. After last night's tasty giant platter of food, I'll be back. Order: large plate, ribs and chicken with mac n cheese and green cabbage (for the health factor ). Hubby's order: small plate with brisket and mac n cheese. Plus a cherry lime fresh squeezed lemonade. This is a small place with large flavors. Seems like most orders are to-go although there is a small patio area for when it's not hotter than shit. Workers are hella kind. Customers waiting for food will chat you up about why this place is so good. The large plate was huge. Jerk chicken was spiced so well...that almost too spicy but I can't quit eating it. And not a dry chicken piece in the bunch. Ribs were smoky and spiced well. Mac and cheese, noms. Cabbage was also delish with bits of bell pepper mixed in. But I stole a bite of that brisket and I wanted more more more. From my one large plate, I have 2 additional meals of leftovers, which makes it well worth the price (and support our local places please!). Also, the hot sauce? Pretty sure it's homemade. Plates, bowls, salads, sandwiches. Starts at $9 and I think the most expensive plate was $25. You won't regret eating here. read more

It's been a while since I've tasted quality flavor in a bite. I can admit it was no surprise to find this food was absolutely delicious and just hit the soul when I went in for a bite. Wayne the chef and owner told me the day I loose passion is the day I stop cooking. Clearly he's lost no passion. Because I taste passion in every bite. Thank you for bringing soul to the food community brother. I will come back no doubt. read more

I love the genuine jerk flavor, the fresh and recognizable meat. The service is friendly, and a very short wait. I tend towards jerk chicken and creamy Mac n cheese, but every now and then I'll try another meat. I pretty much trust this place a feel its consistent quality AND the food at the correct temperature. This is not to be taken for granted. Also they have healthy juices and have started serving a sweet lemonade with interesting flavors. I also notice they do now a lunch special which is almost too generous including a soda. We are from the Bay Area (sorry) and really used to tasty hot predictable food....and this place rates. read more

The jerk chicken salad at Juice Unwind is unreal. Perfectly spiced, bold but balanced, and actually satisfying not a sad "healthy" option. Everything tastes fresh, the flavors work effortlessly, and you leave feeling good instead of heavy. One of those orders you think about after. Would 100% get again. read more

I rarely eat meat nowadays, so when I do, I want to make sure it's genuinely great, and this is always my top of mind place for that. I've been here a number of times since they opened up, and it's always been a great experience. The people running it are super friendly, and the vibe inside is chill. So far I've had their BBQ ribs (the best I can remember having (just fall-off-the-bone tender with amazing flavor), BBQ brisket, jerk chicken, jerk chicken sandwich, and southern jerk chicken sandwich. I switched over to sandwiches with my more recent purchases, because I'm usually pretty broke and $8 for a sandwich this quality is an absolute steal. I have never come close to having the same experience as the one star folks who complain about their chicken being dry, so their reviews have left me baffled. The jerk chicken (and the sauce!) is a thing of beauty that sometimes haunts my dreams and makes me wish food joints in Chico stayed open later. That said, I do miss the bone-in jerk chicken they used to offer, but I can understand if there wasn't much demand for it since so many prefer boneless. Anyway, if you're looking for quality, flavorful, slow-cooked deliciousness, check this place out. My sandwich pic won't do it justice, so just experience it for yourself. read more

While quality and good service are in short supply these days, Juice Unwind is a breathe of fresh air! Good food with a warm smile every time. It's my favorite place to pop in for a fast, protein filled, clean meal. The jerk chicken is full of flavor and while rice and beans can be a simple side, it's seriously the best. I could eat it everyday. Gym people, this place is for you. Tell Wayne and Crystal to hurry and bottle their signature red sauce, it's that good. read more

I stopped by Juice Unwind for lunch for the first time and was genuinely impressed. A young, kind couple was working -- both polite and welcoming, which made the experience feel warm from the start. The young lady who took my order was especially sweet and attentive. I ordered the jerk chicken with rice and beans, which came with cabbage and coleslaw. The flavor was absolutely on point -- rich, well-seasoned, and comforting. The portion was very generous, enough for two solid meals. It truly hit the spot. I also tried the sea moss lemonade, and it was incredible -- refreshing, vibrant, and packed with goodness. Sea moss contains 18 of the 20 standard amino acids, including all 9 essential ones our bodies can't produce on their own. As healer Dr. Cousens says, it's like a love note from God -- and they've turned it into a delicious drink. This is easily some of the best Jamaican food I've had in the Chico area. I look forward to returning and highly recommend both the food and the kind people behind it. Wishing this business continued success and many blessings! read more

Came here yesterday. No doubt i will be coming back! The food was amazing!!! I got the ribs, jerk pork. And orange, carrot, pineapple juice. We tried all the sides, mac and cheese, rice, beans, and coleslaw! The ribs were delicous and the sauce on it was heavenly. The jerk pork came with a vinegar sauce and a barbecue sauce, both were amazing! Mac and cheese was delish and spices were yummy on it. The juice was scrumptious and felt very healthy in the best way possible. Not to mention the employee that was there was super nice. Come now! You will not regret it!! read more

Update 11/22/24: just got the jerk chicken and rib plate with 2 sides. Absolutely amazing. Sides were rice and peas. That was seriously amazing as well. I hope this place thrives and does well because Chico seriously needs a place like this. It came with this hot sauce on the side that is unlike anything I've ever had. 11 out of 10 for this place. read more

so i have to print this retraction juice unwind got back on their job and there jerk chicken is back and its fire! try the greens too they are deicious! they also started catering at very affordable prices! read more

Amazing food, comfort food. Great service. Small dining area inside but very clean and they have outdoor seating. Large portions as well.

The food and service were fabulous and prompt...also perfect outdoor seating for a dog.

Absolutely in love with this place. We finally stopped by the other night and were blown away! We got a jerk chicken plate with rice and baked beans. Fantastic really. Spicy chicken but so worth it and I kept going back for more. My partner annihilated the baked beans, but I loveddd the rice! Everything was so flavorful. The folks running this spot are incredibly sweet as well! We saw the hand pies and ended up turning around at the car to go back in and try some immediately. Lovely warm spot. Can't wait to go back read more

So so so so tasty! Super quick to order and pick up. The food is awesome! I really like the jerk chicken salad, the Mac and cheese is fantastic and the beans! A new favorite of the whole family. My daughter (9) lives the ribs! read more

I can honestly say that was the best Pulled Pork Sandwich I've ever had. You have to give this tiny little spot a try. It's so worth it. Owners are very nice and service was excellent. read more

The food is delicious, the juice is amazing and the staffs are friendly! Limited hours but such a great spot. What I got: Oxtail (meat only) , soo tender and flavorful! You taste the love and the depth of the various ingredients. Also huge portions for the price: Money bang for you bucks Jerk chicken and ribs meal combo: bean and rice with boiled cabbage; such a classic. By far the beans and rice and boiled cabbage are my fav paired with the oxtail. The bean and rice has a hint of cinnamon? Or something delectable. The cabbage pairs very well with the heavy oxtail to bring in the lighter notes. A must when visiting Juice unwind. Juice 1 : cucumber, ginger and something. Tasted great and felt like a great colon cleanse (jk). It's for a kick from the ginger. Juice 2: Apple, carrot and Pineapple (omg sooo good!!!) Will be coming back for more!!! You must try the fresh juices and their food so delicious somewhat healthy (jk). read more

Yummy food! Got jerk chicken sandwich and brisket sandwich as well as Cole slaw. All delicious. Portions a bit small but love the food! Looking forward to working through the whole menu. read more

It's like Christmas in June. Found a new barbecue spot in last week and now another with just as good of brisket. Had heard good things on the chico foodies page, and decided to swing through on a whim. The folks were very nice and hospitable, and they sure don't cheat you on the amount of brisket you get with a brisket meal. I also had the baked beans and the mac & cheese with it and it all was excellent. Very, very good food go try them out! read more

Juice Unwind - Brisket portion in meal! - Caribbean Near Me - Chico, California

I've had some decent barbecue here a couple times. Unfortunately it's very inconsistent, or they have some other problems. The last two times I've been here I got brisket that was only burnt ends and overdone scraps, and this time I got a side with my meal that's only half filled. I won't be back, it's not worth spending the money if it's not good. read more

Traveling through town to see the Super Bloom on Table mountain and decided to stop in for some lunch...so amazingly happy we did! The lady who took my order was incredibly welcoming and friendly, and offered great suggestions! Ended up getting the full rack of ribs, Brisket, side of mac and cheese and a vegetable empanada all for under 50$!! The meat was incredibly tender to where it would fall apart in your mouth, the BBQ sauce has an great tanginess but does not overwhelm the flavor of the well seasoned meat. Overall I highly recommend, and will definitely make this a stop when traveling through the area! Thank you again! read more

Juice Unwind - Partially eaten full rack of ribs! - Caribbean Near Me - Chico, California

Service was great. Fast and kind. Food tasted amazing! They gave us a sample of the goat curry and it was so large that we were half full. Tried the jerk chicken and the brisket. Both tasted great. Only vomplaint about the whole trip is the inconsistency in the size of the protein portion in the meal. I ordered jerk chicken and got a FULL to go container. Enough for lunch tomorrow and for everyone to taste tonight. Brisket portion was a bit on the small side. Tried the mac'n'cheese, baked beans, and red beans and rice. Beans were both amazing, mac'n'cheese was very processed and not fresh tasting. read more

Wow. I didnt even know this place was here in downtown Chico. Delicious Brisket sandwiches and great prices.

I've heard about this place and have been wanting to go for months. We caught them open (they have odd hours that will be worth getting to know). We had the ribs, jerk chicken, and some sides. All the sides were great, as was the mac&cheese. The counter clerk was helpful and friendly. We had some juice as well and it was amazing. This is the gem you're looking for! read more

Hands down, best food available in Chico right now. Quality ingredients that are seasoned and cooked to PERFETION! I am not a big foodie, and rarely find myself going out of my way to leave a review, but these guys truly deserve an award for what they are making for their customers. 11/10, will recommend to anyone and everyone I can. read more

Literally the BEST food in Chico! The chicken is so fresh, the flavor combination, I'm typing this as I eat and plan the next time I'm going to go. The Boneless Jerked Chicken is my go-to! If I could, I'd eat this everyday! read more

Food is delicious and the service is wonderful! The staff is so kind and welcoming! The ribs are my favorite!

Great food, fast, friendly, large portions, juice is unreal. Close to hotels, easy parking.

Greetings fellow critics. I am VERY HAPPY TO POST this is a very good establishment to patronize. This day in age small business that provides the quality of food and service is hard to find. They are quintessentially the small business that learned to adapt and overcome the current restrictions we all have to live by. I had the Rack RIBS and I was FANTASTIC. The young lady that took my order was absolutely outstanding very helpful very patient while I decided what I wanted. I definitely recommend taking a moment out of your day to go into a very good homegrown restaurant right here in Oroville. In closing I only have one word to describe this establishment, that word is OUTSTANDING. read more

All three things you need to be top notch in a food business are accomplished easily at Juice Unwind! The service and ambiance here has always made me feel very comfortable. In a world where money is worth nothing . Inflation's certainly getting uglier and more important everyday! Portions are larger than expected and I am always full after eating. read more

everything I tried was so good! large outdoor seating area. freshly squeezed juices. try this place out!

This place is definitely one of the BEST places I have ever ehad in Chico since moving here! As soon as you walk in you get flooded with the savory smell of the delicious food, the service was incredible and they did an amazing job of describing the food to us as it was our first time having Caribbean food. The half ribs were the best we have had along with the mac and cheese. One of my friends got a jerk chicken bowl with coleslaw and mac and cheese and it did not disappoint, it is a little on the spicy side but the flavor does not compare. Lastly, we had a Chuck roast bowl with baked beans and it was again, THE BEST EVER! The meat was so tender and ALL of our meat was so juicy. We were not able to contain our excitement so we did forget to take a picture. I definitely do recommend this place, we will be returning soon! read more

We took a trip to Jamaica and just fell in live with jerk Chicken!!! This is the real deal here! I'm pretty sure they put an addictive agent in their food! I feel like it is my duty to eat here at least twice a week!! Do you self a favor and treat yourself to this fine food read more

This spot is the real deal. The pork ribs and Jerk Chicken were on point! Killer sauces and sides. Definitely be back!

The brisket is AMAZING!! Hours of operation are hit and miss, but the food is wonderful!! Nice folks!!

The food is so good here! Very fresh and clean tasting. I feel healthy and energized after eating here even though you're getting hearty soul food. They are very fast too! It's a great place for lunch or picking up dinner for the family. I've been here 3 times already. Probably the best food in Oroville!! read more
