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.

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.

Living in Willows, there is not really too much to choose from in terms of "really-good" food, so whenever we are in Chico, we make the Sin of Cortez our go-to place for breakfast.
The food is wonderful with good sized portions. Home made fruit compote instead of jam or jelly was a very nice surprise, and their home made salsa is outstanding as well!
The artichoke or avocado scramble are my favorites, very tasty. Their potatoes are excellent and fresh fruit is served with each dish as well. Their coffee bar is above most. Parking is great, service is excellent, staff is very friendly and helpful.

Its really too bad it doesn't have a drive thru. If it did I would be in love. Very friendly owners who are here almost everyday. Nicely decorated and has that homely feel to it. The one think I that stood out the most for me here was I went in late in the afternoon for a cup of coffee and they hadn't served any of what I ordered for sometime and they made a fresh pot just for me. I thought that was really considerate, it was the first time in there, first time ordering that type of coffee so how would I have know if it was old or not.

Excellent Italian food, fast and friendly service, all at an affordable price. Italian Cottage is a great spot for dinner any night of the week. It can get crowded but they typically seat people quickly. The food is fantastic (I recommend the Tortellini Amalfi and the Lasanga is off-the-charts good!). Great place to eat before catching a movie (the service is very fast), and it won't break the bank. The champagne brunch on Sunday mornings is always popular and always tastey too!
Pros: food, service, price

The food portions here are unbelievable. I've never had breakfast like this in my life. I had eggs, bacon, and potatoes and could barely finish half of it; there was literally 8 thick strips of bacon, 4 eggs, and a full dish of potatoes. I've also tried the breakfast burrito and it's just as good. The service here is great, but the wait for the food can take a while.
Pros: inexpensive, long-waits
Cons: crowded

Where to even begin here. The tri tip sandwich is by far the best tri tip that I have had -- next to my husbands of course. They cook it to order and then top it with barbecue sauce -- the meat just melts in your mouth. Inside there is a whole condiment bar with everything from mustard to salsa. They have huge burgers and with the choice of bun and cheeses they fit perfectly into any taste. Everything is made with the freshest of ingredients and cooked as you order so be prepared for it to take a few minutes. Good food shouldn't be rushed.
