Question 1

Can I make a reservation?

Accepted Answer

We operate on a first-come, first-served basis and do not take reservations. Feel free to call us at 530-541-2985 to check current wait times before your visit.

Question 2

How does your waitlist work?

Accepted Answer

If we don’t have any tables available when you arrive, we’ll gladly add your group to our waitlist. You’ll receive a text message confirming that you’ve been added, along with an approximate wait time. When your table is ready, we’ll send another text. You’ll have 7 minutes to return to the restaurant before the table is offered to the next party in line. If you change your mind, you can cancel via text. You can also reply to let us know you're on your way—this helps us manage seating more efficiently. Please note: Your entire party must be present in order to be seated.

Question 3

Can you host events like rehearsal dinners, birthdays, or company retreats?

We love celebrating special occasions with our guests! While we don’t have a private event space, we have plenty of experience hosting group events of all kinds. To inquire about availability and event details, please fill out our Private Event Form, and our team will get back to you promptly.

We take food allergies and dietary restrictions seriously. While we offer many gluten-free options, please note that gluten is processed in our kitchen, along with dairy, eggs, shellfish, and fish. We do not use peanuts or tree nuts. We make every effort to avoid cross-contamination, but due to shared cooking surfaces, including our fryer, we cannot guarantee a 100% allergen-free environment. If you have a severe allergy, we do not recommend you eat here. For detailed ingredient info, visit our profile on Picknic.
