Love this place - so much so that we came 3x in 1 week on vacation! Cocktails were a bit sweet, so i'd skip those. Huge menu, yummy food, great rotating selection of beers, and a good value for what you get. Service was super friendly in a lively sports bar atmosphere. We tried apps, salads, soups, steak, pasta, sandwiches, and fish and chips; all were excellent, but be sure to try the spinach and artichoke dip with fresh fried chips.!

Overall this place was pretty good, burgers, pizza, Steakhouse. The food was good, and really good size portions, the American portion size . The ribeye was good, ask for medium rare and got rare, borderline blue but it still wasn't bad. You get to choose two sides and it automatically comes with a salad and a roll. The atmosphere was nice, it's a bar, pub, restaurant. It is a little loud but that's what you get, it's not a bad atmosphere at all. And the service for being how busy they were they did very well. The Waitresses were hustling and we had a party of 20. They do not take reservations but they were able to help us out saving 3 tables. Overall definitely good experience would to go back for sure because we're not from yuba city but highly recommend!the prices are a little high but the portion size is also big so it does help! Per person you're spending no less then $30! So be prepared

Literally stumbled upon this place while passing through Yuba City on a trip and discovered a hidden gem. Great food and service. Loved the “feel” of the place. Wood surfaces, nicely decorated. Service was also amazing.

Over the years it has been a consistent go-to for casual food, spirits, and sports. Very friendly staff, casual seating, reasonable prices, large selection of spirits, mellow atmosphere. Parking is Plumas Street and adjoining lots. Safe streets patrolled regularly by YCPD keeps the riff raff at bay. At night Plumas Street sparkles, trees festooned with fairy lights makes for a nice stroll after dinner.

Good food. If you order wings from the website and want buffalo you're supposed to pick classic if you want regular buffalo. All this while they have like 20 different other options. As if ordering carolina bbq flavor means they still toss it in buffalo sauce or something? They didnt think that one through. Good food though.

This place is huge with lots of big long wooden tables with a lot of bar stool tables too. The interior decorating was nicely done and showed off the aesthetic appeal of space and lighting. As you can see in my food photo the sandwich we received was mostly a giant slice of tomato with a tiny bit of meat in it. Not to happy about the meat portion, big did have lots of bun if you like bread. I will not order the prime rib sandwich again. The wait staff were just okay and not very friendly, They were very busy so I think that's what the problem was. I will go back again and try something else instead next time.

The food here was delicious! The customer service was definitely on point. Our server was very friendly and attentive. She let us know the specials up front, which I always appreciate. The atmosphere on a Monday afternoon was a pretty chill vibe and I like it. I will definitely be back.

I visited this restaurant on a recommendation from a friend. The food here was pretty good. Apparently we did pick the wrong night to come here because not only was there a lot of games on the TVs but there was also a wedding event happening out back so the service this evening was pretty horrible. It took us almost an hour to get our food. Our server made many little mistakes and it was quite talkative. If the restaurant wasn't so busy then we would have welcomed to the conversation but we could imagine based on our experience that other tables were being neglected. To complete our evening, the police showed up to escort some rowdy people off the property. I can only say to anyone reading this that you should avoid taking your family here on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights to avoid the rougher sports bar crowds.
