The Bantam Kitchen - Redding (CA)

5 /5 Brian Woodward: I dont give five stars very often, but Bantam deserves a five! If you are looking for no nonsense, flavorful food, this is the place. The atmosphere is all about family. The food reflects those family values. Flavorful and simple makes the evening perfect. I ordered the ell river pale ale. It went perfect with my Mac & cheese with smoked brisket which was fantastic. The catfish and chips and amazing as well. Fresh, moisten and crispy at the same time. The server was always smiling and attentive. Easy to make conversation with. I highly recommend this establishment if you want that authentic down home feeling.

4 /5 Juan Miquel: After visiting Lassen Volcanic National Park, my wife and I stopped at the Bantam Kitchen in Redding. Overall, it’s a good place to stop and eat. The service was excellent and the staff was very friendly. Overall, the atmosphere was good but there was a strong smell that was something like mildew in the bathroom area. My wife had the Jambalaya was good and would recommend it. I had the Mac & Cheese with Fried Chicken added on top which was good and I would recommend it. The Fried Chicken is not the traditional southern type fried chicken but had a good taste.

5 /5 Cheleste West: Stopped in at the new Redding Marketplace to grab a quick lunch on the way to Oregon and tried this new-to-us restaurant. Enjoyed it enough that we stopped again on the way back from Oregon and wish there was one in Sonoma County. Great wings & tenders. Lots of variety on the menu. Good prices & awesome staff! We will be back!!

5 /5 Sierra Haze: The fried food was amazing, the brisket sandwich was a bit over cooked in my opinion but its nice restaurant thats kid friendly. I recommend the fry daddy plate, best fried catfish in Redding!
