The Foodie Cafe - Chico

Great food, good atmosphere, really enjoyed the place! they were very busy the night we went.

I had a wildly stressful day was on the verge of full blown meltdown. Mom said the Foodie Cafe was really amazing so I said lets do it. There was a hole in the takeout bag a large grease stain soaked into my cloth passengers seat! I was so devastated. Just got that car in Aug 2021. In tears, I realize the 9$ side of Mac and cheese was never put in the bag. I live across town. My sweet boyfriend called them even though I asked him not to. A very kind man, the owner Boyd was very accommodating apologetic on the phone. To my surprise he drove all the way to our home himself brought a hot side of Mac and cheese and delivered a sincere apology in person. I have never encountered a kinder, more sincere buisiness owner in my whole life. It was such a heartwarming gesture. I highly recommend the food TOP TIER ?. I am so grateful for this buisiness and experience

Oh my goodness! What a wonderful place! The food was absolutely delicious, the service was fabulous, everything was just wonderful. We ate outside next to the water fountain and it was just beautiful. The menu is very full as there are lots of items to choose from. We ordered the burnt ends, the cubano sandwich, the Tuscan chicken sandwich and a kids chicken strip with French fries.The cubano was perfect and literally melted in my mouth. (It was my favorite)

So it's a unique restaurant with a wide menu and while I like it, I always leave feeling ripped off. Ended up paying $70 for 2 adults and 2 kids splitting a kids meal. $11 for the kids Mac and cheese that was in the tiniest glass jar. I thought they had split it for me and waited for the next one, it was so small. I am still in disbelief. I originally thought they charged me the kids menu price of $8 which was already high for that tiny jar but it was $11 on the bill with the bacon on top. Just wow. I don't think the menu hasn't changed in awhile so this is not an inflation thing. My full sized entree was $17 so for $6 more I could have ordered a full entree for the two of them and got triple the amount of food. Just crazy.

I was honestly hoping with a name like the foodie they would have more gluten free options. I was kinda disappointed that the white Russian milkshake it was made with blended ice vs ice cream like a real milkshake, the inconsistency of it(having the ice chunks), made it unenjoyable. My friend got the banana cream pie milkshake and it was thick, creamy, smooth, and devine. The fries are coated so not gluten free. They aren't a scratch made kitchen so they can't do gluten free donuts to add to the shakes either. Glad they had gluten free bread options we had the BLTs which were good. Ambiance of the place was cool, with a cute outdoor area for games.
