Madison Bear Garden - Chico

Food is good and good quality. But for the Bone In Wings with French Fries on the side is $28? That's too much. Other than that, quality of food is good and the landscape is beautiful when you? back in vintage look.

Eating at the World Famous Madison Bear Garden has been a treat of mine for 20+ yrs, and I 'm finally going to give it it 's dues. My wife and I went to use our birthday coupons for a Sunday lunch, and we arrived at 12:45pm. Since football is over, and no baseball in sight... it was a relatively quiet afternoon. She ordered the Singin ' the Blues burger, curly fries, and a side order of fried mushrooms...I ordered the Bravo Avocado with a side salad. Drinks must be purchased at the bar, so we also got a pitcher of soda (with free refills) and waited at our table while looking at the wall-to-wall decor in every nook and cranny. It 's a beautiful place with ALWAYS something new to spout and discuss. Our food was called in less than 10 minutes, and we dug in. The burgers were cooked perfectly, and piled with the add-ons...including pickle spears. The mushrooms were delicious and fried to a perfect brown, as were the curly fries. We ate, listened to the 70 's soundtrack played over the speakers, and discussed the varying displays. Before we knew it, 1 1/2 hrs had passed, and we were heading out the door. Sure, it 's busier on Fri/Sat nights with the college in, but for lunch it can 't be beat. Remember to tip the cooks/counter/bar staff, as they EARN their wage by being both hard workers and friendly employees to ALL customers. First timers can 't go wrong with the traditional Bear Burger , however...up your game and try any of the others with an extra patty. 5 starts isn 't justifying this establishment.

Definitely a college spot!! Very cool atmosphere with so much to see literally on every centimeter room from the floor to the ceilings. The food was moderate, but at least the prices were reasonable. We ordered Burger with Fritten, unfortunately the Fritten were cold. My daughter got the burger with peanut butter and said it was a good combination. When we come back, I probably try a hot dog, I was just not impressed by the burgers.

Beverages have to be bought at the bar, so we also got a toner from Soda (with free refills) and waited for our table while we crunch on the wall-to-wall decoration in every corner. It is a beautiful place with ALWAYS to spout and discuss something new. Our food was called in less than 10 minutes and we buried. The burgers were perfectly cooked and stacked with the add-ons, including pimples. The mushrooms were delicious and fritted to a perfect brown, like the curly frits. We ate, listened to the 70s soundtrack played over the speakers and discussed the different displays. Before we knew, 1 1/2 hours had passed and we drove out of the door.
