They have good burgers here. We usually stop by when we are in town. This time I had a Bravo Avocado burger. It takes a moment because each burger is made fresh from the grill. It seems they put the meat on the grill after an order is placed. The environment is very old fashion and lots of prompt everywhere. Minors are not allowed to enter after 9pm so plan on eating here earlier in the day if you are a minor.

Good food and pretty good history items in there. Really good service too.

Even single adults like myself who showed up to an empty restaurant at 5:30 on a Wednesday couldn't get the manager to put the NFL Network game on just one of their 15+: televisions. 2 Stars all around. Bartender and the kitchen staff are very nice.

This was not what I expected when I was brought to this restaurant/bar. Very unique exhibits, large selection of beer and interesting burgers. Everyone in my party was amused and entertained by the vast displays.

Went on a trip to Chico and decided to try this gem. Friends have told me this was a super popular place for the college folk to go and indeed the restaurant has a hip pub-like atmosphere. The good: The atmosphere was pretty fun. There were a lot of young families when we went and the staff was very welcoming. Great location. Great area of town. Historic building. The food came out fast. Their burgers were really good. I ordered the Papa bear and also a side of onion rings. The burger was juicy, properly cooked, and well seasoned. The bun tasted fresh and the sauces were great. The BBQ sauce they keep on the tables is just the right blend of sweet and spicy. The fries were very good too and cooked just right and salted properly. Lots of places to sit and eat on a Sunday afternoon. The bad: The onions rings were a bit of a miss. Ours seemed over cooked and over salted. The ranch also tasted yuck. There is ranch you can get cheap at the store that tasted better than what they serve here so they should just switch to another brand. They don't offer Coke Zero or fun drinks like Angry Orchard or Mikes. In the ladies restroom my wife witnessed some young ladies who were sick and ready to puke due to too much alcohol. I think the restaurant needs to cut people off before they get like this. It's in their interest to not have to clean puke from everywhere in a restroom. The mens restroom smelled a bit and was in need of a remodel. Overall: It was a fun experience and I can see myself going back and trying new things on the menu.

Fun place, good food. Flies were bothersome inside. Used to go to Buffalo Chips, Oar House and Saint James Infirmary but those 3 are now closed. The 4 are part of a chain but Fanny Ann's in Old Sacramento is also still open. Nice outdoor patio dining area.

I dug this burger spot. Good burgers. To get four stars because I didn't think the burgers were very seasoned. But the atmosphere and the staff are awesome. They all all kinds of different Burger choices grilled cheese choices sandwiches all kinds of specialty items in sandwiches. You have to get your drinks at the bar where there is soda water or tea or lemonade or good old beer in the bartender was really quick and courteous. There's a lot of all kinds of crazy stuff on the inside which makes it comfortable to be in and keeps you interested just buy purely looking at all the stuff everywhere. It's in an easy destination in Chico with a small parking lot across the street. Check it out you won't be disappointed.

Ok food, pretty much over cooked burgers and fries... Even when you ask for medium rare. Order of 6 chicken wings is $25 with tax. Burgers are $20 Service non existent. It's self service. Bar service is good... Unless you ask for a beer that they keep in the back bar (although advertised up front), at which point they yell into a loudspeaker viamicrophone and yell for a server to bring it up.. about 5 minutes later after my date was served. Don't go in Tuesday night. They play Bingo over their extremely loud PA system, ruining your meal. Ok dive bar for college students but certainly not a place for families, kids or dates Even single adults like myself who showed up to an empty restaurant at 5:30 on a Wednesday couldn't get the manager to put the NFL Network game on just one of their 15+: televisions. 2 Stars all around. Bartender and the kitchen staff are very nice.

Certainly a place to try because of the decor. The food is good, just nothing extraordinary. The pork (and with grilled cheese) sandwiches are tasty.

Been going on and off for years and had another great Presidential the other day. Always the same and always good enough and for a fair price.

atmosphere good, food not so much. Burgers kinda dry, garlic fries where mediocre. Lots of college kids drinking beer, good mixed drinks at good price

Well, another adventure in finding new spots down. The food was mostly flavorless and very overcooked. Had the Papa Bear Burger. It was very well done and the onion ring (both on the burger and the side) was so overcooked I'm pretty sure the onion was actually not part of it anymore. The onion rings tasted like bland fried batter. My wife had the Bear Burger and, again, it was mostly flavorless, but at least not overcooked. We both had to add the dipping sauce found at the table on our burgers to make them more palatable. The fries were just kind of off. More importantly we suffered into the night for our decision to eat here. The burgers sat harder on the stomach than a McDonald's burger and were very angry at having been consumed. The service was more like a diner than a restaurant or even bar. We had to walk up to a hidden counter at the kitchen to order. The woman behind the counter was nice and helpful. Someone in the kitchen cranked up music just before we ordered to a volume level that rivaled the music in the customer area. The food took forever to come out, which might explain the overcooked nature, and there was no line at the counter when we ordered our after. Drinks had to be ordered at the bar and as a second charge. The guy at the bar didn't inspire confidence that he knew what kind of sodas he had and didn't bother to check. There was another guy roaming around collecting empty baskets, who did not know what the kitchen did. Most of the empty tables we found were quite messy with crumbs and small puddles of liquid. The atmosphere was busy, but fun and very eclectic. I had to wander to take it all in and would suggest the same if you stop by. Very uncomfortable seating. And the bathroom was scary old, uncomfortably tight, the women's handicap stall was locked yet empty and the other stall without a locking door, and also messy with overflowing trash cans. The floors were sticky and the decor looked to have been last dusted around 1907 when the carriages hanging from the ceiling were still new-ish. Overall, this place is for a younger crowd who wants a bar and party scene, not a cool place to get a good burger; good burger prices, bad burger experience. On the whole, don't think we'll be back.

Cool, unique atmosphere. Horrible service and extremely extremely average food. So strange to order food at one counter then having to do it again, in line, for a drink at the bar. Weird. Somehow the hamburger was not hot even though I picked it up the second my name was called. You’re definitely surviving on nostalgia and that’s about it.

The place is one of a kind! Great vibe except for the fact that they allowed some odd individual to simply walk in and out of the restaurant freely, not being a customer. The pulled pork sandwich was not the best option. It was overcooked to disguise the old meat. Crispy pork is not good unless it's bacon... cheesy fries were bland, but the strawberry lemonade was actually good. It's definitely a place to vibe out if you drink spirits.

Terrible service. I waited over an hour for a hotdog and a chicken sandwich. I was the first one I'm my party and had the smallest order and was the last one to get served. Everyone else had larg…

Went back home after being gone a few years today, took my daughter and her husband to the bear for lunch, and was excited to share a great place with them. Not so much the cashier got the order wrong for the most part the curly fries and chicken was super over cooked, the salad was a bit wilted but the burger my son in-law had was ok over cooked but ok worst hundred bucks I have spent in a long time

Wendy Drake

The burger wawa the worst ever. So much mayo on it the buns wetter soggy. Waiting for drinks my husband was ignored.
