Safer Arms Indoor range in Chico has been one of the very few places in the area where you can go in and get great professional advice from a knowledgeable staff on a wide selection of firearms. Everything from blackpowder guns to hunting rifles to handguns to reloading equipment is in stock and available for sale. There is a nice selection of rental guns that you can shoot as a sort of "test drive" if you are in the market for a gun. The range is clean and well equipped for the most part. The only drawback to the range is that you can only point your weapon downrange and fire slowly. Any double taps or presentations from your carry gear (drawing) will get you a polite consultation from the range master. However, In todays litigious society, it may not be their fault. All in all, a great place to shoot, shop or kill a half hour browsing while the wife (or Hubby?) shops elsewhere.

After going to over a dozen bridal shops in Redding, Sacramento, Reno and Chico...I really like this shop. Has a good selection...comparable to shops in larger cities. The girls were very helpful and not pushy at all. I was given just the right amount of attention and help. No one was "snooty". Very down to earth. Good experience and prices.

I have to admit I have never actually sat down and ate here before, but I have had take out form here dozens of times. They are always nice and friendly and willing to pack up your food with any condiments that you may desire. I frequently call on my way to work and order breakfast to eat once I get to work. My favorite is the eggs and diced ham with the home style potatoes but I have had french toast and waffles from here that were very good as well. We have ordered lunch from here too and it is just as yummy as the breakfasts.

Customer service was top notch in my book. My expectations were completely met, being that I usually go to a small cookie place that I have known since childhood, possibly the cookie tree. This corner cookie shop is possibly one of the best kept secrets I've ever been to, being that I'm an out of town-er. The deal I received as well was awesome and I would definitely recommend them to everyone I come across!P.S. The oatmeal raisin and crackles were superb!

My experience at Suzanne's has been different. Maybe maturity has something to do with what one expects from a bridal shopping experience. I'm 48. Suzanne's was my second stop. Although I have purchased a number of formal gowns at Corwin's, I was not impressed with their selection of gowns nor with the idea of having to look through a very limited catalog to see what they had in the store. At Suzanne's, I described my perfect gown to the attendant and she brought several for me to choose from. I didn't have to paw through all of the dresses to find what I was looking for. Although at first glance, I felt the final dress that she brought was totally inappropriate, I trusted her knowledge of her stock and what would work on my body style. The dress was perfect!! And, it was not the most, nor the least expensive, but well within my budget expectations.
I would agree that the space is a bit cramped. I would also expect sales people - especially those on commission, if indeed they are - to attempt to boost their sales. Duh. That's their job!! Perhaps the Princess Brides need to take a look at their own expectations and attitudes.

Good things come to those who wait right?? Well that is definely true with this place. If you come after 9 in the morning be prepared to stand out side and wait for a while because it is crowed. A true Chico tradition, come in for a huge plate of food that is home cooking at its finest. The restaurant is small that is why the wait is so long, but it is by far one of the best places in town for breakfast or lunch. But don't try to come for dinner because they close everyday at 2.

We love coming here for lunch. The sawdust on the floor gives the place character and its fun to eat on the red and white gingham tables. The girls are all dressed the same in cure read dresses and white shirts which adds to the character of this place. Its been family owned for years and occasionally you see family members in the back helping prepare foods. Always consistent and large portions help reflect the price -- it is a bit higher than other places in town. You can choose from some great sandwiches, a large variety of salads, and a variety of typically Italian dishes.

Largely known for their microbrews the Sierra Nevada Restaurant has created its menu of pub fare to compliment its beers. Much of their meat is grown locally at Chico State's University Farm proving that the organization works to help its community. They have a variety of appetizers that you could make into a meal itself. This is a great place to enjoy a meal with friends,family or that special someone.

Triple thick shakes with fresh banana. Now that is what I call yummy! I love to get the burger basket with a shake here for lunch. Juicy burgers with thousand island dressing, shredded lettuce and fries. Gee I made myself hungry writing this. I also love to come here in the summer with my husband for sundaes or ice cream cones as we head off around town. With the low prices and the 50's style drive up its like you have traveled back in time.
