This is a cute roadside eatery nestled in the redwoods of northern CA. Food is pretty tasty, and so…read moreare the milkshakes. Recently I tried the vegan burger and was pleasantly surprised with the flavor. It is a vegetable patty rather than a meat-imitation patty, which I prefer anyway. I would order this item again! I upgraded my fries to curly fries, and I kinda felt like the portion of fries was smaller than I am used to, but they were decent. Burger fixings (lettuce, pickles, condiments, etc.) are self serve. Also a major highlight of eating here is getting to see and interact with their cats! :)

It was lunchtime during our drive on the Avenue of the Giants scenic road, so decided to stop at…read morethe Chimney Tree Grill as our ninth stop (11:07) on day five of our Northern California road trip. My wife, her mom, and I, all like burgers so figured this would be a good place to stop. Our cellular service did not work here, so had to use the info I had downloaded in Google maps to know where to stop. It ended up being pretty good. Hours are daily 11:00 - 20:00, so we arrived just after it opened and were the first ones. There is two areas for outdoor dining: a large set of picnic tables near the chimney tree as well as a patio at the restaurant itself. We soon realized that a cat was roaming the patio, looking for food, so we decided to eat inside, instead. It's a one man operation, with the owner fulfilling multiple roles. After we orders and paid, we got a pager to notify us once the order was ready. Everything is prepared fresh, so it took a bit of time. But because it was served hot, everything tasted good. I love a lot of toppings on my burger, so the self-serve topping bar was great...was able to put as much lettuce and pickles as I wanted. The 1/3 hamburger ($12.99) came with good fries . My wife got her plain cheeseburger 1/4 cheeseburger ($9.99) and enjoyed it. Her mom got chicken strips basket ($13.99), and upgraded her fries to be curly. We all shared each others fries, and the curly fries were really good. Drinks are cans. I didn't want to risk having a milk shake, but from all indications, it sounded good. We ate our meal at the counter. Afterwards, the owner suggested we walk across the parking lot to visit the Living Chimney Tree. It's free to enter, and is hollow enough for a person or two fit in. There are openings on both sides, so easy to take some nice pictures.

The chef, service from Julie, and ambience are top-notch. In the evening, you can be serenaded by an amazing guitarist and opera singer, Luciano, while you dine on crafted, with care food. That is what creates a magical evening. The chef specials were so well crafted that I had a hard time choosing. I went with cod tacos because I wanted fish. They were so elevated beyond just tacos. The Benbow Inn's House Label wine is awesome as well. This place is why you stop in Garberville. The California/Oregon Coast is now or summers, so we will be back here often.

However, waiting 2 1/2 hours for food that is delivered cold, salty, and soggy is not acceptable no matter where you are. More importantly, having the wrong item delivered, and not being notified can be fatal. Ordering rock cod tacos, and being served shrimp tacos, which are not on the menu, can be catastrophic for some. If the item is not being served, it shouldn't be on the menu or you should be notified of a substitution. I thought this was a one off situation until I noticed another reviewer had the same issue. Having been there multiple times, last night was the busiest I've ever seen it; the staff was clearly not trained for this kind of a crowd and were beyond overwhelmed. There was one actual server (who was trying very hard to appease dozens of patrons), and a kitchen staff that was completely lost. Lack of trained staff led to tables receiving their orders multiple times, while other tables only received partial orders after hours of waiting. Because I live here, I will probably be back, but I won't be bringing guests as I did last night. Too embarrassing. Management, please have mercy on your staff and get the experienced help you need! They're out there somewhere!
