Old Barn Kitchen - Chico

We were expecting great food in a cute place...the place is cute but Denny's has just as good food for way less. The staff is fantastic!!!! If service is your #1 thing then come here! They were packed but we were seated immediately. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable, personable, extremely prompt and added a personal touch...that gave it that small town feel that we all love about Chico. They even set the air to cooler when we said it was kinda warm in there. The atmosphere is exactly as pictured. Very cute and clean. However, the food...it was disappointing. It was all cooked perfectly to order and that's enough for some people. But I choose locally owned places cause I want more then cooked to order. Knowing how to cook an egg properly doesn't make you special. Being that it's a country style restaurant I expect and was glad that they cooked everything on my plate with butter, thank you. But there was no pepper. There was practically no seasoning at all. A tiny bit a parsley and the butter it was cooked in taste and looked to be pretty much it. I mean, toss some garlic and shallots in the pan with you fry up that steak! Offer it with some gruyere, gouda or even blue cheese on top! Wrap it in some bacon! Something! I won't even mention how thin it was, cause you can see in this pic that the handle of the knife was about as thick as the steak. Truly, we could go to Denny's and get the same plate of food for $7 less. Come on ya'll! Ya'll can be outstanding! Stop settling for just ok. It made me sad cause I really thought for sure this place was gonna become my favorite. Wish the food was as fantastic as the service! Make it so and I'll come back.

When you enter, it is so secret and the feeling of the country. Servers were very warm and always a smile on their face. Your food is always good. The portions are generous and it is still reasonable. The remaining room is well kept. Anyway, we're going back.

Third time here. Food never fails to please. The place was packed 10 to 11am. Service was extremely slow. We had go ask for coffee. Ask for spoons. Coffee seconds came around in a timely fashion. Known for eggs benedict, I went with the classic. Absolutely delicious. So I recommend this place if you want to have a long chat with friend. If alone bring book. Coffee tastes great. Kind people run the place. I'll be back.

The waitress we had was very sweet and attentive. I ordered the mixed berry pancakes, coffee and bacon / cheese omelet. Everything was delicious. The food came out quickly. It was very clean and clean and the decor is beautiful. Anyway, come back.

With the family in Iceland, I was very pleased to hear that one of the latest Chico restaurants was strongly inspired by national cuisine. From my experience, food was always good and portions extremely generous, while a price level that is unbeatable in a competitive college environment. Your Icelandic pancakes taste just like the right one, and their meat is always perfectly cooked.
