Definitely not the place it used to be.
My wife and I visited last night, 1/20/26. We were seated quickly. When they came and took our drink order my wife ordered the Miami Vice and I ordered their unfiltered amber lager.
At some point they came over and asked my wife if she wanted whipped cream on her Miami Vice and she said definitely not. My guess is that the drink was made and then they realized they hadn’t asked if whipped cream was desired and they just scooped it off and tried to mix it in and it was obvious that’s what they did because you could still see the whipped cream on the inside of the glass. My beer came and it tasted really stale. I drank about 1/3 of it and set it aside…
We ordered the battered and fried artichoke hearts. When they came they were somehow burnt and cold. I’m not sure how that happens.
For dinner my wife ordered the Vampire Killer pasta which is supposed to have a lot of garlic but tasted like it had very little. They used to offer clams with the pasta but have since discontinued that. That’s the whole reason we visited because my wife wanted that specific dish. I ordered the philly cheese steak sandwich with a side salad. It came and I took one bite and it was warm but burnt. I’ve added photo’s we took of the artichoke hearts. The photo of the cheese steak is from another review but mine looked just like it. I pushed it aside along with the beer after one burnt bite.
Our waitress did apologize and asked if there was anything they could do and I said just take it off the bill.
We paid for the drinks, the burnt artichoke hearts because we did eat them and my wife’s pasta. I did leave 20% tip for her. This definitely isn’t the place it used to be.
After we left we went else where to get dinner for me.

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.

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.

Well here we go 10$ for chilie Cheese fries and that was happy hour. The portion of food for the cost was embarrassing. If this is the portion for 10-15$ I would recommend going some where else. In N Out, Apple Bees, Mexican restaurant so many other choices.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.!

I frequent this place, and everytime I go it’s always the same. Food is pretty good, but the service is always pretty bad at night. I never mind waiting for a table, but once I’m sat I don’t want to be waiting 30 minutes for an appetizer that ends up being cold. And another 20 after already paying for a togo dessert that I would assume is premade. I really do love the food here, but the service over the last few months has just really gone downhill unfortunately.
