The Banshee - Chico

The Banshee is always the best. There's an amazing bartender now that is so lovely and helpful I just have to call her out (even though I sadly neglected to get her name). I'm a new mom and haven't gotten out much lately, but she served me my first drink a few months after birth. She patiently helped me figure out what I could eat when my baby was facing some food issues, and she even remembered my drink order when I came in again. Banshee has always had the best food, but adding in this amazing service just makes it the obvious choice any time I'm going out. Thanks for helping a new momma feel like a grown up again!

They have it all dialed in. Consistency in food, drinks and atmosphere. I knew I would love the Banshee from my first visit 15 years ago.

I love this place. Best Bahn Mi you will ever have. If they ever take it off their menu I’ll kill myself.

We came to The Banshee last night for lunch/dinner. While the food itself was excellent, particularly the California burger, the service we received from Joe Z. significantly detracted from our overall experience. It took a considerable amount of time for him to take our order, even though he passed by our table multiple times. When he finally did approach us, his demeanor was dismissive and impatient. Specifically, when my mom politely asked about cheese recommendations for my younger sister, who has picky eating habits, Joe Z. responded with an exasperated sigh and did not answer the question. Throughout our interaction, his overall attitude was unprofessional and made us feel like an inconvenience. I understand that servers can have busy nights, but a basic level of courtesy and attentiveness is expected. Joe Z. 's behavior did not reflect the standards I would expect from The Banshee.

Beer selection is great and the food is great quality. I'm not a fan of steak fries but they serve the fries crunchy and that's the only way I want them now.
