Reviews for The Lab Bar And Grill in Chico, CA
Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Grate place to get an adult beverage and great food. I had the grapefruit beer(the house... beer) oh so good! Read more
Good atmosphere arrived at an off-peak hour so staff was light but the food was good, the portion was generous, and the service... was very friendly. The kind of place I would like to bring friends to. Very good beer selection with a nice range of beer typesand good beer picks. Read more
Hefty portions for the (thick) Reuben sandwich & the sweet potato fries were crispy crunchy! The Loaded Tots appetizer was the... size of a full meal with generous chunks of meat Read more
My criticism of this place was the price of the beer, to which the response was that some of the beers are cheaper. So I went... back and reexamined the menu: Sierra Nevada is only $4, but other beers are quite steep. But this time it took 25 minutes justto order (despite being dead) and the food was disappointing. Seriously. And it might have even seemed better if they didn'thave an eating competition on all the TVs. Watching Kobayashi soak a hot bun and cram the slop in his face did not help myappetite. Yeah, that was pretty gross... So from 4 stars on my first visit, they drop to 2 upon closer inspection Read more
A friend of mine and I visited the lab for the first time a couple of days ago. We were greeted with a smile by the bartender... from behind the bar. The service was prompt and friendly. We we're interested in something from the menu. The chicken sandwichcame highly recommended. "Great, make it two." I've got to say it was pretty bomb! The chicken breast was a little thin but thesandwich was dressed up pretty well and was quite tasty overall. The french fries were crispy and fresh and were especiallytasty when dipped in the jalapeno ranch. I would recommend visiting the lab. Great beer selection and a full bar. Read more
Well I have to give 5 stars to the Lab because the have the best chicken sandwich in Chico, CA...Hands down. This was my first... time coming to the Lab and they murked it. Alyssa our waitress gave us phenomenal service. Plus she is the 1 who suggestedadding the fried mozzarella square to the chicken sandwich and it was worth it. Also she brought out a couple different saucesfor me to try with it(as seen in the photos). The actual redish chicken sandwich sauce was a bit spicy for me but I'm a big babywhen it comes to that stuff. It was the green burger sauce that I'm raving over. Plus there was ranch and ketchup for the friesor in case I didn't like something. Anyways my girlfriend had a half bowl of the mac'n'cheese with pulled pork in it. Oh smokesI'm talking big pieces of pork. Definitely got her nice and full. The kicker tonight had to be the general appearance. I meanthe bar is freaking nice and can seat more than 4. The dining area was clean and warmed by the old school fire place. Also theis a patio for warmer nights. This place has it all...awesome staff, phenomenal food, a clean dining experience and it wasfamily friendly while still catering to the adults. 4 years since I moved from Tampa to Chico and I finally found my hiddentreasure...The Lab Bar and Grill. Lol. I was a chemistry major. My 11 month old son even gave it the place a round of applause. Read more
Very good experience, food was delicious I had the chicken sandwich with the bacon jam and avacado, shared a few sides of tater... tots and mac n cheese as well. Getting your drink in a beaker was very cool as well. The desserts looked amazing but I was waytoo full from my meal to get one but everyone who got one at my table loved them. I'd recommend this place very relaxed withgreat food. Read more
I was curious about their portobello mushroom tacos. Excellent vegetarian alternative, they were perfectly cooked and very... savory! They have a fun atmosphere with "science-y" paraphernalia and art on the walls which makes it a cool place for people tohang out. I haven't been often or tried much of anything else but I will be returning in the future just for those mushroomtacos alone. Read more
