Delicious meal @ The Cheese Steak Shop in Chico, CA. !!…read more I placed a to-go order at the counter with a fine young gentlemen, who was courteous and friendly. The restaurant itself was modest and somewhat dated, but clean with an ample amount of tables and chairs. There were also straightforward instructions on a wall and a detailed menu above the ordering counter. We enjoyed a full Western Cheesesteak, half of a Classic, and perfectly cooked curly fries. Everything was delicious! The tender meat and melted cheese paired great with their fresh, flavorful hot & sweet peppers!! We would eat here again when we make it back to Chico for sure! Thank you.

This was our first visit to CJ's Last Chance Diner. It is located on the far north end of Chico…read moreclose to where we are staying. I had reviewed the menu online and it made my mouth water so I had a pretty good idea. We were going to enjoy it. Indeed we did. I ordered the onion burger, and my wife ordered the jalapeño cheddar burger. We advised The server that we would be sharing our burgers when she brought them out. She had them arranged nicely for us as is shown in the photo I am posting. Both burgers were absolutely excellent. My wife and I were both totally impressed. We especially liked that. They have a condiment bar where you add your own extras. It's a good one too! Besides the burgers, we ordered sweet potato fries and a peanut butter cookie. The sweet potato fries were excellent. We ate every single one. The peanut butter cookie was out of this world. It even had little peanut butter cups on it. Fortunately, we split it otherwise we would both be totally ashamed of ourselves. The service was absolutely spectacular. Our server and the manager or owner open, parentheses not sure which) parentheses made a point to come by our table and make sure everything was to our liking. The friendliness is a big issue for us. The diner is decorated in a very attractive way. It is perfect for where it is located. I should have taken more photos of the inside. They had some fun music playing also. The prices were quite reasonable we will definitely be back.

My son and I got the Tri-Tip sandwich and my daughter got her usual, Tri-Tip salad. We really enjoy their food, service, and down home, country atmosphere. We've been going to CJ's for the last 15 years or so we have become good friends with Rebecca, the manager, she's been the one constant there since we've been going. Thank you for your great food and service.

Jalapeño Bronze: Amazing burger. Well seasoned and of course, smashed! Love the touch of that fresh…read moreJalapeños on it for that spice and texture. The burger patty is so good and moist. Crispy edges as well. The sauce on it adds a nice creaminess. Grilled onions for that sweetness. Overall burger with that soft bun, it was delicious. It's worth getting double smash or even triple. One isn't enough. Cajun Fries: thick cuts, fresh fried and the season was not held back. Nice and salty fries! Enjoyed every piece of it. Really good first time and worth going back to. Time may take around 15-30 mins depending on when you go. Great service!

Was excited to try the new location, but this guy Andrew (I guess he's some sort of local dj, not…read moresure how he's connected to bronze burger?? He was handing out business cards) was making the atmosphere quite strange by walking around asking each seated customer to take a bite of their burger if they hadn't yet so they could tell him if they liked it. A questionnaire would have been much less strange and awkward. Anyway, food wasn't worth coming back for even if the vibes weren't so odd.

This is a fantastic spot!…read more It ended up being near our hotel, so it wins for convenience, and it's downtown location. We didn't realize we were in for such a treat here though. They have an extensive menu, and it is set up so you can choose your own adventure, and put together exactly what you want, but I ended up going for the Rib Eye special breakfast which ended up being a great choice! Chicken Fried Steak and their Omelettes also looked like they were very popular. They also offer great mimosa specials, and if you order three (for $13?) they will let you share them among multilpe people! Had a couple of great breakfasts here and loved the old school diner vibe - service was super friendly as well! Great spot!

Debbie's isn't one of those places you find just anywhere when looking for someplace for breakfast…read morebut once you find it, you make note of it so that if your ever able to make it back this way again, you'll visit. That was my thought the first time I went there and I was even more pleased because we had just migrated to the area and can visit anytime ! Debbie's is just how you'd imagine a small coffee cafe to be, homey with farm style furnishings, a lunch counter and friendlier staff then you may have expected. At slower times ( not days, I've yet to see them have any of those!) your invited to sit wherever you choose. The menu is simple, the usual fare you'd expect for a diner but don't let that put you off. There hasn't been one thing I've tried off it that hasn't been delicious and portioned generously. A specialty of the house are their "thin" pancakes. Crepe-like but not a crepe, it is a pancake and you can get them plain or blueberry, I recommend the blueberry but I'm partial to blueberries. I don't ever order pancakes EVER but, this caught my eye so I gave em a try. I order pancakes now. Well, I order pancakes at Debbie's. Parking can be an issue, they're a small place and parking is limited but thankfully you can park on the street if the lot is full. If you're traveling in this area, this is one of those local gems you definitely don't want to pass on.
