Burban Kitchen

We visited this restaurant. The ambiance is cute, casual, and has a modern environment. I particularly liked the open kitchen concept. We were seated right away on a Tuesday night, which was my third time there. My boyfriend was trying it out for the first time. The service was a bit slow. I wasn’t sure if they were understaffed or if the waitress was new. We ordered the angry mussels and the braised short ribs. After 10 minutes, the waitress informed us that they were out of mussels, so we opted for shrimp instead. I’m not sure why they didn’t know they were out of mussels and we had to wait 10 minutes after ordering. The food did take a while to arrive. There were about four seated couples and a few people at the bar. I gave the service a mid-For rating and the food an excellent rating. Overall, it must have been a rough night for them since it was a Tuesday. The food was delicious, though.

Fun, new restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. Great service. Clean bathroom with dim lighting. The appetizers were amazing!!!!!!! The pickled ginger with the ahi app was probably the most amazing I've ever tasted (I've tried a billion) and really really worked wonderfully in the dish. The Ahi and avocado on toast was so delicious, creamy and wonderfully seasoned. The charcuterie board was lovely and plentifully for the three of us to get a taste of everything without filing up before dinner. The grilled salmon was cooked to perfection although the orzo was a bit too acidic for me, which is a shocker since I usually want more. There was a lot of fats in the orzo that I think they were trying to cut through, which also made it kinda heavy. My companion raved about the burger and I stole a garlic fry and they were nice, especially with the house made ranch. The seared Ahi entree was lovely as well. The ahi was fresh, tender and not over seared. The rice cake was flavorful and rich with umami and floral notes.

Super amazing food! I had the pork chop. It was perfectly cooked. And cocktails also very good. The service is on top of it. Even making sure the glasses are spot free.

I've tremendously enjoyed my two dining experiences, both on a Tuesday. The duck tacos, a Taco Tuesday special was truly amazing. Something not often available in Chico. My second experience, while dining with a friend, was no less enjoyable. Both the short rib tacos and the pork belly version were wonderful. The Salmon with orzo was a must order. The flatbreads are a worthy experience. Josh provided an amazing level of hospitality during a busy Tuesday both times. Nicely done Burban Kitchen.

The food was phenomenal and the wait staff were very friendly, polite and attentive.

I just tried this place recently, and I already can't wait to return. I ordered the short rib tacos! Beyond delicious! The drinks were incredible! One of the drinks I had was called It Takes Two to Mango. It was spicy and so yummy! And the bartender, Josh, was very pleasant! Thanks, Josh! Can't wait to return to Burban Kitchen! 🙌💯

Delicious burger. They had gluten-free buns. We also got the pork chops that were great but a Little too much fat for our liking. But still delicious, very busy place. Fun atmosphere

We've dined here several times in the past month. Service? Excellent! Food? Delicious! Ambiance? Casual and friendly. I had the short rib with whippy potatoes and hubs had the burger. No complaints here. If you haven't tried it, give it a chance. The menu is eclectic and varied.

Decided to check this place out the other night. I had my dog with me and we showed up around 7:15 for dinner. They sat us quickly on the outdoor patio and were quick to bring menus and water for both myself and my pup. At the waitresses suggestion I ordered a variation of the SALMON SCALLOPINI. Instead of pasta she recommended a bed of mashed potatoes and to hold off on the Roma tomatoes. My first thought was that I had never had salmon and mash potatoes as a combo before but hey....i was feeling adventurous. While I waited for my dinner, I ordered a BK Old Fashioned to drink and honestly this was the only item that wasn't up to standard. The ice cube was on point, perfectly clear and good sized. The rest of the drink was lackluster. The ice cube made up the largest portion of the drink and there was no orange peel rub on the rim and no cheery in the drink. I know different places have different ways of doing things but this wasn't truly an Old Fashioned in my opinion. Two sips and it was gone. I think I've taken shots bigger than this drink. The waitress was great! Super attentive and friendly. The food was brought out in a reasonable amount of time and WOW, I really didn't think I was going to enjoy it as much as I did. The flavors were all very good and complimentary and the salmon was seasoned and cooked perfectly. The mashed potatoes actually went very well with the salmon and the dish was filling and well proportioned. I will be back again in the future to try more of their delicious dinner options.

My wife and I came in for an anniversary brunch, place wasn't to busy, we were greeted quickly and seated. Love the vibe and open feel of the restaurant and staff are friendly. Ordered ice tea and an Arnold Palmer for drinks. I had the chicken and waffle, my wife had the beet salad with salmon. She appreciates that they use wild salmon, we always ask before ordering. We're not fans of farmed salmon. Food was good, the waffle was a Belgian style waffle, I prefer thinner style, but that's me. The fried chicken was great, flavor was excellent. Definitely felt like we got a lot food for our money. Server was very sweet, did a good job on checking in occasionally, not too much. Over all, great experience, I'll definitely be back. I want to try their happy hour menu next time.

Gave this place another shot since it had been awhile and the menu looked updated. Hubs and I did a couple of appetizers, he did a burger, I did a salad. I feel that the menu has improved greatly with small plates, flatbreads, and entrees. Lots of variety with the small plates from mussels, to veg, to ahi tuna, to tacos. We picked pork belly tacos and Spanish tacos for apps. Both were delish with tons of flavor. Hubs Hudson burger was juicy and I loved the fried onions on it. My Caesar salad was dressed perfectly and would've only been improved by some fresh cracked pepper. Our server was super sweet and even though it was pretty busy, she made sure we felt taken care of.

Mid Wife and friend had spaghetti and the short ribs, both were good I had beet salad, way too much lettuce And the tuna appetizer, not even sure what to say here Another friend had the steak, looked like roadkill and they chose it specifically cause it was gluten free but had fried onions in a gluten fryer on top Bunch of confusion on what wines they had and meh service The place is nice but way too bright, parking can be really hard But nice option next door to have desert at savor We came for drinks and apps about a year or 2 ago and things were good so not sure if off night or a slide $120 for 2

Love this place!! I've been a fan since they first opened. Their appetizers are the real showstoppers here - the fired green tomatoes, beet salad, and Brussels sprouts are my personal favorites. My family likes the ahi tuna and pork as main dishes, but you really can't go wrong with anything there. The cocktails are decent - the garnishes are great, but the flavor is lacking. I ordered my usual pork this time around, but the vegetable on the side changed - I believe it was some sort of roasted veggie last time which went well with the pork. This time, I received a pile of flavorless spinach as my veggie. Otherwise, the food was up to par and delicious as always! The waiters are always super friendly, and pretty laid back given the setting. I prefer dining here when it's a bit busier because the energy is nice, but I appreciate getting in without a reservation as well.

Try the brussel sprouts, they are very good crispy with cheese and pork belly. The steak was good too. The salad was huge.

Not at all quality dining. Food is mediocre at best. Fish over cooked, cheap poor quality lettuce on salads. Flavor seems miss matched and out of place. Everything seems pretty watered down and low quality. Bar is great. Wonderful drinks. However the food is very pedestrian.

Great brunch! Food was super yummy and great service! We sat on their patio and it was lovely. Would recommend the Bloody Mary, waffles and eggs Benedict!

Burban Kitchen has stolen my heart...err, stomach, with their Brussels sprouts! I've been here twice now, both times on the patio, both times with excellent service. The primary reason I will never be a reliable food critic is because once I find something I like, I continue to return for that one thing. I'm not very menu-adventurous. But, my goodness, am I loyal. The staff at Burban is also very welcoming of my pooch, who usually accompanies me for patio dining. I'll be back for sure!

Our server was friendly and cared. The restaurant looked clean. Our bruschetta was disappointing. Not enough tomato, the bread was pretty thick and seemed old as well as there was way too much balsamic vinegar on it and I wasn't a fan of the parm cheese added on top. The flat bread tasted like it was microwaved and never saw an oven. The wedge salad with pork belly was big however the pork belly didn't seem like it had been cooked recently. The wine and beer and cocktail selection was descent.

Burban Kitchen,under new ownership for a couple of years, by Christian Michael Steinbach, locally known as Christian Michael from his flagship restaurant closed since COVID. Post COVID he took over the closed Burban Kitchen with his own flare and delicious menu. We enjoy the neighborhood feel, perfect for date night, friends getting together, & special occasions. They have a good selection of wines & speciality cocktail menu. The Burban Old Fashion being a popular one & my favorite! They recently opened for Brunch on Saturdays & Sundays too. Everyone who works there is friendly, helpful and professional. The chefs are so friendly in the back, and even Antonio who works his tail off keeping the service & cookware sparkling. Finally, the patio is comfortable on a nice day. Dan Gonzales & development partners have done a great job creating a living, working, recreating & dining neighborhood. Stop by Burban on your way to enjoy an event at "The Barn" across the street or meeting friends after a mani-pedi or work out.

What an amazing place! This place does not disappoint. Atmosphere, food & service are all exceptional. The food is bursting with flavor, along with beautiful presentation. The room has hugely high ceilings, with a small tree growing on an upper level. What a fantastic place to dine in. Thank you Christian & Ronnie & staff!!

Went to burban kitchen a month ago and got charged a service fee for 6+ even though we only had 5, in response to this we got a 50$ gift card. Went to give it another shot to use the gift card, and it was EMPTY. That's a shut up gift card if i've ever seen one. Food was okay

We had a wonderful server Carina, who was attentive and caring. Especially because the bartender hadn't come in and she had to pivot to doing different tasks, Hats off!! We had two appetizers, Angry Mussels and Pork Belly Korean Tacos and the crème brûlée for dessert. Carina brought the crème brûlée with a candle because she remembered it was my birthday... Angry Mussels were delicious and savory. Finger licking good! It had the perfect amount of spice and the Parmesan garlic toast was so delicious to dip into the sauce with the crumbly linguica, and sliced jalapeños were delicious to bit into. We asked for extra bread and indulged in extra calories happily! I love bread! The Korean pork belly tacos were good as well, and very generous in portions. We couldn't order any more food but enjoyed every morsel we ordered. Going back again soon to try happy hour time at the bar and try out Bar Bites... We took a walk around the block before we hit the road back up the hill and that felt so good. We will mos def be back! Thanks Burban KItchen! : )

What a nice place, great food spicy and full of flavor. Service was top notch, open kitchen very clean. Can't wait to go back to try more. Definitely recommend the braised short rib by it self or added to tacos you can't go wrong.

One of the best old fashioned's I've ever had! Pleasant environment, friendly service.

Left very disappointed as we wanted to like this place. Three out of our four dishes were overly salty and just not good - stay away from the pork belly salad and spaghetti pomodoro. Brussel sprouts were good but the ones on the bottom were super salty. Ambience outside was nice but doesn't make up for bad food.

Saw this place on Yelp and had to try it. Wanted to start with an Old Fashioned since this is a bourbon place, but had to try their Beetlejuice drink. Mezcal, beet juice and lemon juice was fantastic! Ordered the fried green tomatoes. The bacon jam made this dish. We ordered the rib eye and mashed potatoes. While the steak was good, I would have preferred a thicker cut. I would definitely come back here.

We have not had a bad meal here. They are also good for cocktails. Old Fashioned was the best I have had in Chico. Passage to the bathrooms is a bit crowded, and the bathrooms are single use, small for a bigger restaurant.

Used to come here a decent amount with my girlfriend because we live close by. The last visit, she ordered a veggie burger and let the waitress know that she does not eat meat. She was assured that the burger would be vegetarian. The food came out and my girlfriend took a couple bites out of her burger. She stopped, and took the top bun off to see pieces of bacon on top of the patty. A man who seemed like the manager or owner was walking by and we let him know what had happened. He apologized and took the plate, and said he would bring out the veggie burger. He said that there were multiple orders and it must have gotten delivered incorrectly. The new burger was dropped off, and there was no more mention of the mistake that had transpired or any concern for my girlfriend. We didn't expect a refund or anything, but at least we thought they would check in more to make sure my girlfriend was okay. We did not make a scene or anything at the restaurant, but she had a stomach ache for the rest of the night because her stomach was not used to eating meat, and also the thought of eating it made her upset. The restaurants customer service and attention to food allergies or dietary restrictions could be a lot better. They have decent food but we felt uncared for and that they forced something upon us. I understand things can happen when you eat out. That is why we do not come here anymore.

Graze the small plates! Beet Salad was exceptional. Pork belly tacos converted my husband to a taco lover! Angry mussels made us happy! Even the toaster points were superb. The pork chops were large and succulent. Finished off with butter cake, chocolate sauce and a port. WE will be back to try everything we had no room for. AWESOME!

It's a cool casual spot. Met with a friend, had a few drinks and appetizers, everything tasted great, and fun friendly staff. Check them out.

The service was fine. We were the only people in the Whole Pl., Saturday morning. At 10:00 for brunch now I know why ! Breakfast was not exceptional. Had better breakfast cheaper other places in chico huevos rancheros were not traditional don't know what kind it was and I'm Mexican . We got the eggs Benedict fried tomato I couldn't taste tomato because it was too breaded and it wasn't on your English muffin it came with kind of a thick piece of bread at the bottom one square it was just a soggy mess ! Potatoes were ok you can't mess up potatoes . And beware for their promotions online or through Facebook. It's a scam I was supposed to get a 10:00 discount because I registered online to their app through messenger. Beware if you're thinking you're gonna get a $10 gift certificate and one dollar mimosa it's wrong. They try to charge me only one dollar off of Mimosaand thenI try to do the $10 redeem the $10 discount on my food after spending $67 . I was denied my discount . Weill not be going back there . At all The service was good management lousy !

Love this place. One of my favorites here in Chico. Their cioppino is awesome, short ribs are phenomenal but what I really love is their appetizer dish Angry Mussels with pasta added. Bar staff is great and the servers are all super friendly. Quickly becoming my go to dinner! Too funny just noticed I had already reviewed Burban.. opinion has not changed but found a new favorite dish :)

Thought we were in for a treat. Instead we left unhappy and then nauseous after eating the ahi tuna. So disappointed. The steak was awful according to my son, who loves steak. The Brussels were meh and the meatballs were just nothing to write home about. ... I hope they figure it out.

Food and service were great. The creme brûlée was so great. I think it was lighter and more flavorful than 5th streets and I love 5th streets! The cocktails were great too.

Things are starting look different in Chico! This is a new super hipster area with a fancy juice place, coffee shop and a farm for events. We arrived at 5:30 on a Friday and were able to get a table for 6 right away. Despite it being a busy Friday, we were never rushed out. Our server whose name I didn't catch, was attentive. I ordered the prosciutto and pesto flatbread with their cheese alternative. It was really a 10 inch round thin crust pizza. It was so delicious that I didn't even notice it was a cheese alternative. I wanted to devour the entire thing but had to slow myself down. This is not a place for picky people as the average plate is $18 (average for their entire menu). My husband had their short ribs ($29) and damn near licked the plate clean. The meat was tender and melted per his description. I'll be back next time I am visiting!

food was amazing. drinks were good! our server was even better. the vibe was nice. definitely expect to spend some money... well worth it though!

Had dinner with the family before flying out the following day. Dinner was good, as I thought it would be with the recommendations of my son and soon to be daughter in law. A fun night starting a vacation. Short ribs were delicious. I try to stay away from hamburgers, but someone ordered one and I was a bit jealous. There was an issue with double billing our credit card, but Burban got it handled quickly and professionally. Thank you! Nice to see help when something doesn't go as planned.

The food was inventive and delicious. The bar has great cocktails, the mescal cocktail was unusual and refreshing. Their wine list varied and reasonably priced. Our server and her helpers were friendly and efficient. The place itself is somewhat industrial and the open bar area provides some entertainment as they create their libations. I really liked the mix of music they played. We were probably the oldest people in the restaurant, but the eclectic atmosphere and great food and bar seemed to be appealing to everyone.

We dropped in for an early dinner because of all they hype over the new place in town. Quick seating. Enough noisy buzz going on around to reduce the personal noise at your own table and the open space was nice. Menu choices were varied. I had the ahi and my husband had the burger. Both delicious. Waitress was adequate. Did not offer any house specials. Did not refill our water. Plan to spend about $30 a head (and that includes tip) with no drinks. Overpriced for what you get but good food.

Would I go back again: YES WHY: Flavorful food, filling portions, lovely staff (Maggie was my server and she was so freaking nice) I love how the flavors complimented one another rather than over powered one another. I could literally taste the craftsman ship and love in the food. Coming from someone who eats healthy most days and has a weekly cheat day, this was a lovely cheat meal & I will back! Not to mention they have an indoor olive tree?!? Coming from a Middle Eastern background, 95% of my blood content is olive oil so im really excited to see the progress of the tree & to see if they start to press their own oil when the olives ripen and use it in the dishes

Burger is top tier; highly recommend. pork chops are great, a BBQ style flavoring with amazing potatoes. fair priced cocktails and beer, great server who was very attentive but provided space simultaneously. TVs displayed over bar with prime time sports on (no volume at the time I went, preseason NFL so makes sense!).

Our first time at this restaurant and we enjoyed it as much as we have enjoyed all of this owners restaurants. It was a lovely evening, so we sat on the patio. The food and drinks were beyond enjoyable. The service was impeccable. My only disappointment was that I was not able to thank the owner for the surprise that he and my brother had arranged for me. When I'm in Chico again, you can be sure I will dine here again.

Great experience. Outdoor seating is clean and the service was quick. Food was yummy. We had ahi plate and salmon Caesar salad with a lemon drop. Will be coming back.

Food was delicious! Service was great! Atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable! Really enjoyed

This meal was so delicious! I was afraid the orzo would be dry or bland. It was not, super flavorful and they did not skimp on artichoke or tomatoes. This whole combination was totally worth it. It is nice to have a large portion for a fish dish. Thanks Burban!

So this visit was...awkward. We sat outside for a drink and appetizer, contemplating dinner but quickly decided to make it one drink and get out. There was an employee dining on the patio and I know this not only because I have seen him there, but because he kept calling the staff over to his table to mansplain how things should be done, or whatever. He was calling the female employees alternately "Little Mama" or "Mama", which, ewww. The mail server he summoned was handed a beer which he quickly chugged. I think maybe he was drunk. Or I hope he was drunk. He kept talking to the guests a few tables away and calling their baby daughter, you guessed it..."Little Mama". The worst quote of the experience was "Hey Little Mama, wanna do a pull up on my mustache?" I have no words about that. Just. What? I hope he reads this, sees himself and realizes how extremely inappropriate his behavior is. This guy was so loud and obnoxious we got out of there asap. I don't know his name but the mustache is a clue. This place is pricey, the outdoor ambiance is non-existent and the tiny bit of charcuterie for $19 makes this place a disappointment. Add in an obnoxious employee on his day off and it's intolerable. I have been there about a dozen times now. This was the last.

I had heard a lot about Burban Kitchen, so I was looking forward to having dinner there. However, I was not impressed. I asked for coffee. Sure thing! We have to make a fresh pot. Time goes by...and by. I flag the server and ask about the coffee. Oh, there was something the matter with that batch, so we're making it again. I ultimately did get the coffee, but only after quite a wait. I ordered the steak, which was sirloin that night. I assumed that meant a thick cut of meat. What came was a thin, wider cut of meat. Not what I'd imagined. The food was good, but I wouldn't say it was great. Our server was nice, but he could have touched base with us more often. All in all, I expected more, but got less

Amazing service. Relaxing atmosphere and delicious food, we will definitely be back to try more entries! I was impressed how laid back and friendly the staff was. Thank you for a wonderful first experience.

Great find while visiting Chico. We arrived 25 minutes to closing and the staff were wonderful. We ordered their garden salad (very tasty), Brussel sprouts (delicious) and a flatbread. They have indoor and outdoor seating and a bar area. Everything we ordered was great. Casual atmosphere.

This was our first time here as it's one of the places that's sprung up since my spouse moved out of the area, so we knew we had to try it on our most recent visit to Chico. Unfortunately, the food definitely left us feeling pretty meh. However, the service was exceptional, and the cocktails are worth a trip all on their own. We started with the Ancho curious and the Staycation. Both have a little spicy kick and were incredibly well crafted. They had a great evolution of flavor and the spicy and sweet played off each other fantastically. You do have to like spicy things though, it's not that hot, but if you don't even like nacho cheese because of the heat, then you won't like these. Next our entrees. I got the Burban market steak because I figured I should try something they might consider a signature. It was disappointing to say the least. The sides were very tasty, but most people (like my spouse) won't even touch the braised greens since they really just look like wilted spinach. I like greens though, so I enjoyed them. Also, it's hard to mess up garlic mashed potatoes. The meat however, was full of fat that had not been rendered out during cooking, which shows a lack of skill on the kitchen's part. I couldn't tell you if it was seasoned or anything since most of my memory is clouded by all the fat and gristle I was having to chew around. I should have gotten the salmon. My spouse had the grilled pork chop, and he liked it well enough but it wasn't amazing. Just ok. We finished with a desert because the items we'd seen going to other tables were so enticing. Again, after eating it, I wish I had ordered something else. I got the warm butter cake and it was also disappointing. It comes deconstructed, so you have to figure out how you want to mix the cake with the whipped cream and coulis. The cake itself was pretty dry and kind of had a texture/temperature like it had been microwaved just before coming out to the table. In fact, it was steaming when I dumped it out of the dish. Definitely not worth $8.50. It wasn't any more inspired than a box cake mix. I believe this place has the same owners as Hudson's so it was surprising that the food wasn't very good. Maybe they're just really good at comfort food and not much else. We probably won't ever go back for dinner, but I could see grabbing a few cocktails before or after dinner at some place with good food.

Appetizer small plates Ahituna avocado toast was very good I ordered seafood cioppino : so so .... My husband likes flatbread Margherita

Experience overall was great. If you are looking for a fun cocktail to try, order the Staycation. It's a perfect mix of sweet and spicy. The fried tomatoes were very tasty. The customer service was excellent. We we were seated right away, we're greeted by our server within few minutes followed by quick food service.

Excellent food! Excellent service! Excellent ambiance! I loved every meal I've had as did my family. Highly recommended. Go eat there today!!

This place was so much fun! The menu had so much to choose from. We had the fried calamari with saffron smoky paprika dip. We also ordered the pork belly wedge salad and that was just delicious I would order that every day if I could. The service was great everybody and there was so friendly. Looking forward to returning when we're in town next time.

One of the best Beyond burgers I've had in Chico! Great to have this restaurant on this side of town.
