Sierra Nevada Taproom & Restaurant

The Sierra Nevada Taproom is a beautiful dining room. The service was great. I don't usually send food back though I believe because I am just getting over a cold my taste might be off and my food was a little salty for me. They remade my dish for me without salt and it was fantastic.
The manager came out and talked with us and I explained that it was most likely me and not the chef yet took care of us graciously though not necessary.
My husband's food was super yummy and the sausage plate was amazing.
I recommend highly.

We ate like kings.

Beer cheese dip: 10/10
Garlic bread: 10/10
Burger: 8/10 (partner says 9/10)
Pasta: 7.5/10
Chocolate milk shake: 11/10... I don't even like milkshakes

I asked for my burger with sauce on the side, but they accidentally put it on my burger. The waitress caught it before it even got to my table.

Good food and good vibes: this is the kind of place I'd come to after a bad day at work to eat my feelings and lift my spirits. They have ample indoor and outdoor seating. Our lovely waitress was servicing both areas on a busy Sunday evening, so service was a little on the slow side.

Fish and chips. Usually not a go-to order for me but I'm so glad we took the waitresses rec on this one. Batter was insanely crispy and light, veggies and salsa were fresh and kept the dish bright.

The Burger. The grill flavor on the patty was good and all but the star of this dish were absolutely the garlic fries. The $2 charge for them was well worth it -- I have never had garlic fries this good in all my years living in Los Angeles, Orange County, and New York City.

Blueberry Bread Pudding. The first bite had me silenced and was the closest thing I've had to a religious experience in a minute.

My family and I come here every time we come to Chico. It's almost always a good experience for us!

This time we ordered the ahi nachos and it was delicious, more ahi would have been nice. The mango is a great touch! My husband ordered the Philly for the first time and he gave it a 2/5, it was rather bland And it lacked onions and peppers. The bread was also not too toasty. He typically orders the club sandwich, he'll be going back to that next time. I always get the rooster with sweet and spicy sauce. My rooster came with a long black hair this time cooked into the breading... hence why our review only has 4 stars. They quickly remade my meal and took it off the bill for us. Kind of ruined my appetite but our server was so sweet and apologetic even though it was not her fault at all.

Bathrooms are always clean and the outside patio is nice.

Mistakes happen! We still love this restaurant will be returning next time we are in town.

Service was very bad. Every other table arriving after us were served beverages and food. Our waitress was non attentive.

We had two others serve our apps and main course, both served stone cold. For $90 for three people, I'd expected better food quality and service.

We won't be back nor would we recommend.

Get the pretzel and sausage appetizer!! I love that they have half pints so you can try multiple beers/do your own mini flight. Very tasty, good vibes, and classic Chico dinner spot!

This place is always amazing. Had a Philly cheesesteak this time. The servers and staff were wonderful. The ambiance is great. And the gift shop next door has awesome merch.

Great family friendly restaurant. We've been a few times before going on the brewery tour. There is usually quite a wait so plan for extra time if you have a tour booked. They have open seating at the bar and standing tables in the bar so you can sometimes get lucky to be served right away with a small group. We got the Bánh mì sandwich and fries (fries are crisp and really good) and the seasonal fall salad (whipped ricotta, brussel sprouts, beets, with a maple dressing) which was filling and delicious! Obviously a great selection of beers and they offer flights.

I live an hour and a half away but it was worth the drive. The food was excellent and the beers were amazing!

The food here is excellent; it doesn't matter what you get. Many locals appear to come here for the food alone. They have both inside and outside-covered seating, as well as a full taproom inside. They always have a number of beers on-tap which aren't sold elsewhere they're experimenting with.

The beer cheese is baked in a ceramic tray and is the only I've ever had which actually tasted good...it comes with the pretzel. The service is good and a number of the restaurant and taproom staff got to work in the brewery during the pandemic shutdown, so they're know a lot about the company, the beers and the brewing process. They have all three of their signature mustards on each table and I had to take a 3-pack home from the gift shoo afterwards.

It can get louder inside later in the day, but they also have a small bar in the gift shop that's perfect if you're feeling sensory overload or alone.
