Burban Kitchen - Chico (CA)

2 /5 Lia Deromedi: We can’t afford to eat out right now but we splurged on Burban for our first anniversary because we always love the food (and the last time we went, we sat at the bar and had a blast). This time I chose a table because it was a special occasion. Unfortunately, our server never checked on us. If she had, I would have told her that the five $7 shrimp on my salad were so coated in black pepper they were inedible (and the same for the fries). The shining light is always the delicious calamari though. We’ll try again when we can and hope for better service, but it was a real disappointment for a first anniversary.celebration splurge.

4 /5 cheng saechao: We visited this restaurant. The ambiance is cute, casual, and has a modern environment. I particularly liked the open kitchen concept. We were seated right away on a Tuesday night, which was my third time there. My boyfriend was trying it out for the first time. The service was a bit slow. I wasn’t sure if they were understaffed or if the waitress was new. We ordered the angry mussels and the braised short ribs. After 10 minutes, the waitress informed us that they were out of mussels, so we opted for shrimp instead. I’m not sure why they didn’t know they were out of mussels and we had to wait 10 minutes after ordering. The food did take a while to arrive. There were about four seated couples and a few people at the bar. I gave the service a mid-For rating and the food an excellent rating. Overall, it must have been a rough night for them since it was a Tuesday. The food was delicious, though.

4 /5 marc silver: Decided to give this place a try on a Sunday morning. Not a big fan of the Meriam Park area, but this little bit was extremely nice. The staff was super friendly, and the establishment itself has a great atmosphere. Both indoor and outside seating, and large TVs over the bar if you want to watch a game. The waiter was awesome, friendly and very prompt. My wife and I both ordered the same steak omelet. The only complaint was the steak in the omelet was very bland which took away from the dish as a whole, but everything else like the eggs, veggies, potatoes, and sauce was great. It was cooked perfect as well. Well definitely eat here again.

The marble tables and cozy setting create a relaxed environment perfect for brunch or casual gatherings. Dish Highlights: The chicken and waffles were beautifully presented.

4 /5 Kelsi Dancer: Fun, new restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. Great service. Clean bathroom with dim lighting. The appetizers were amazing!!!!!!! The pickled ginger with the ahi app was probably the most amazing Ive ever tasted (Ive tried a billion) and really really worked wonderfully in the dish. The Ahi and avocado on toast was so delicious, creamy and wonderfully seasoned. The charcuterie board was lovely and plentifully for the three of us to get a taste of everything without filing up before dinner. The grilled salmon was cooked to perfection although the orzo was a bit too acidic for me, which is a shocker since I usually want more. There was a lot of fats in the orzo that I think they were trying to cut through, which also made it kinda heavy. My companion raved about the burger and I stole a garlic fry and they were nice, especially with the house made ranch. The seared Ahi entree was lovely as well. The ahi was fresh, tender and not over seared. The rice cake was flavorful and rich with umami and floral notes.
