    Chunky clam chowder 5 of 5. Some of the best in the USA.
    Sam V.

    the food is a total 5. The clam chowder is fantastic. I have been all over the US and I must say this is at the top of the list . Big clumps of clams and a fresh seafood taste. Calamari strips were a 4, but only because I prefer rings. My companion had oysters and really enjoyed the plate our server was excellent, she said she has been with the business for 15 years . So glad they survived COVID. We tipped 25%.

    Ranch burger and fish and chips

    I got the Alaskan fish and chips and my partner got the ranch burger which only had one small onion ring. Both of our dishes were bland but the tartar sauce was decent. Extremely disappointing as I was looking forward to trying more dishes around here but staff were very off putting. Decor is pretty dated, and our experience confirmed our original low expectations

    Coffee and clean water.

    Service was terrible and on top of that I got food poisoning. Environment was a little dirty. DO NOT EAT HERE.

This time I ordered the open face toast with bacon (I'm totally butchering what it's actually called), but it was giving eggs benny, and it was so so delicious. Their hollandaise sauce tasted house made so I asked my server (Katie, amazing, 5 stars. Super personable and friendly) and sure enough I learned B Street is a scratch kitchen (absolutely everything is made in-house). IMPRESSIVE. The whole dish was very hearty, exactly what you'd need after a night out and it didn't sit heavy. Thank you B Street, I'll be back soon ;)

The outdoor bar area was completely full…read morewhen we arrived, and the interior dining room was packed too--the crowd never really let up, which I think says a lot. We had reservations and were seated immediately. We started with the garlic bread and bruschetta, both of which were excellent. The mozzarella on the bruschetta was especially rich and buttery, definitely a standout. The moscow mule was refreshing, though I wish the ginger had a little more kick, and the cool strawberry mocktail was superb, not too sweet with the mint coming through. For mains, the spaghettini had naturally sweet tomatoes and a thick sauce that clung beautifully to the noodles. The scallops were fresh and sweet, though the mushroom risotto with saffron crème they sat on leaned tangy, which might be hit-or-miss depending on your palate. The chicken piccata was also quite tart, true to style. And the pork special was good too. We ended with the spumoni that was cherry-forward, and tiramisu, which was fantastic. Decadent, yet light and airy.

    This continues to be our first choice of a "classy" dinner out in Chico. Good food, pleasant…read moreambiance, nice people. I love the attention to detail in the quality of small things.

The Mac and cheese bites are the most cheesiest, crunchy, delicious little bites with a little kick of spice that makes you want more. There has never been a time where I've been here and almost every table isn't full. There's a bar with open seating or my recommendation would be to make a reservation online to make sure you wouldn't have to wait for a table. The servers are always jumping around from table to table to make sure their guest are getting the service they deserve. More specifically the last time we went our waitress, Stevie, was phenomenal. Stevie was very attentive with all her tables and brought all our items out promptly. From the outside you would think this restaurant would be mediocre but once you step into those doors it's a completely different vibe. The decor inside is elegant and such a calming vibe. Totally not what you would expect when you drive by this place. The owners, that took over this place a couple years ago, genuinely care about their customers experience. I feel like there aren't many establishments these days that care about the experiences their customers have and go out of their way to correct what went wrong. Knowing how much they genuinely care about their customers, I'll forever recommend this establishment to anyone and everyone. I personally think it's better than a local steak house located in downtown Chico. This restaurant may be a short drive from Chico but it's so worth the drive!

We were greeted immediately and asked if we had reservations, which we didn't but was graciously seated in a very short time. Our server was at our table with water and rolls in less than three minutes. She took our drink order and had them back to us quickly. The place was crowded but service was excellent! I had the rib eye and my wife had the grilled chicken. The dinners included salad plus two sides. We opted out of appetizers due to the amount of food offered on the menu. My steak was grilled perfectly as was my wife's chicken. I ordered glazed carrots as one of my sides and received fresh carrots in a sweet glaze (perfect)! Wife had asparagus and it was perfectly cooked. I didn't get pictures of the food because there was a baseball game on one tv and football on another! Sorry! The restaurant interior was classic steakhouse with a nice bar. We will go again!
