I am not a burger person but it is still a really worth while place to eat. I usually get the garden burger with fries and it is so good! The atmosphere is not my favorite but it is ok, kind of bar like. The service is good and food comes out pretty quickly.

If you’re rolling through Chico and looking for a place that actually lives up to the name, Burgers & Brew doesn’t just talk a good game… it delivers for us!

From the moment you walk up, it’s got that classic brick and wood feel that says you’re about to eat well. Step inside and you’re greeted by a wall of taps that feels like a beer lover’s playground. The place hums… great music, good energy, and a staff that’s clearly in rhythm with it all.

We didn’t mess around with the order. My daughter went with the blue cheese burger special, her boyfriend took on the bacon jalapeño burger, and I went straight for the pastrami burger. Every one of them came out looking like a culinary masterpiece.

The blue cheese had that perfect balance… bold but not overpowering as they are want to be. Her boyfriend said the bacon jalapeño brought just enough heat to keep things interesting without stealing the show, probably too weak for me ;). My pastrami burger was a heavyweight… stacked, savory, and the kind of messy you don’t even try to clean up until you’re done. Think Katz deli melding with a west coast hip scene burger.

Now let’s talk onion rings… because these deserve it. Golden, crispy, and just the right crunch when you bite in. Not greasy, not soggy, just dialed in exactly how they should be. Add the garlic sauce and now you’re playing a different game altogether. That sauce is not optional, it’s essential and fabulous on everything.

The beer selection is deep, the kind where you stand there for a minute pretending you’re making a thoughtful decision when really you just want to try everything.

Service was on point from start to finish. No waiting around, no chasing anyone down… just attentive, easy, and done right.

Only downside, and it’s not really their fault, is parking. Downtown Chico can make you work a little for it. But once you’re inside, with a cold beer in hand and a burger staring you down, you won’t care how far you walked.

I will be back, it is well worth the price.

Spur of the moment stop while in Chico but definitely did not disappoint! Food was great, beer selection on tap was abundant, the atmosphere was awesome and service was excellent. Parking can be difficult especially during peak hours, so plan ahead! This was on St. Patrick’s Day right at lunch and the weather was awesome! Process above average but the food and drinks were worth it!
