Restaurant Review If you are in the mood for a special dining experience, you should check out the amazing cuisine and atmosphere at DeVINE in Redding, located at the former View 202 location, at 202 Hemsted Drive, overlooking the Sacramento River. My husband and I recently wanted to treat ourselves after having an especially busy week of babysitting, shuttling grandkids to and from their activities, and working late into the night at our computers. We only had time for lu

Giff’s owner, Dick Blake, with trusted assistant, Sammy Escatel Redding has no shortage of burger joints, that’s for sure, but there’s only one restaurant where you can cravenously chow down on an absolutely delicious Steakburger—or Ugly Burger—and that’s Giff’s Steakburger, owned for over 40 years by Dick Blake, a Vietnam Vet known for his good-natured, irreverent trash talk. “I like the place,” said George Knight, a graduate of the Michigan State Police Academy and now reti

For literally a generation (18 years!), Ortega’s Mexican Restaurant, with a stand-alone location on Deschutes Road in Palo Cedro, California, immediately south of the 44 freeway, led by proprietors, Jacinto and Eduwiges Ortega, with son Emanuel Miranda in tow, has firmly established a legacy of flavorful delights, excellent service and, perhaps most importantly……………a bevy of loyal followers. Jacinto and Eduwiges Ortega, with son, Emanuel Miranda. Read what one such devotee,

Longtime Nugget Restaurant server Rhonda greets Cheryl Sanchez. Shasta County residents Gary Nickle and Mike Moffat, both senior firearms instructors who teach in Trinity County, have been taking that pleasant, 45-mile (westerly) Highway 299 drive twice a month to have breakfast and sometimes lunch at the Nugget Restaurant, a local downtown Weaverville favorite, with classic diner charm, cozy atmosphere, and big, delicious plates of comfort food. “It’s a perfect way for M

So Cheryl and I hop into our 37-year-old Bronco 2 on a beautiful and breezy Spring morning, and motor off to a brand new breakfast spot on Redding’s eastern flank, the “newer” side, if you will. Of course, when we get there, it’s jam city, meaning cars are parked everywhere and anywhere. When we finally find a just vacated spot in the middle of nowhere , another couple pulls up, wanting what we want; classic scenario, huh? Being benevolent people that we are, we let ‘em h

Presented with a colorful—and comprehensive—menu, by server Manuel Enriques, it was decided that Cheryl and Jerry would share an impressive entree called Camarones con Tosino, which is shrimp wrapped in bacon, marinated in cilantro, sautéed with onions and green peppers, topped with melted Monterey Jack cheese, pico de gallo, sour cream and guacamole; And served with rice, beans and tortillas (flour or corn). “Aye, Carumba, bring us a take-home carton, Manuel.”

Located on this quiet street at 1270 Yuba St in downtown Redding is a tucked-away restaurant where Northern California residents are blessed with some of the finest cuisine, rivaling Michelin-rated restaurants in NYC or San Francisco. We are talking about Cafe Paradisio, this small family-owned and operated dining establishment is absolutely amazing.

With a hankering for that “Good Ole American Breakfast", maybe the kind that would bring a smile to the face of any hard-working lumberjack, my husband and I jumped on the I-5 freeway in Redding and headed south from our home near downtown Redding. Our destination was the VITTLES FAMILY RESTAURANT located in Anderson, CA, at 2385 North Street, just off I-5. We had read that a previous reviewer had remarked that Vittles Family Restaurant was “always good….especially breakf

My husband, Jerry, and I gave up our crowded Southern California lifestyle in 2000 after passing through the pleasant small towns of Yreka, Mount Shasta, and Weed in Northern California. We were returning from a trip to Portland, Oregon, to visit relatives. The contrast with living in the North State versus So-Cal felt good. The lifestyle was compelling, and we returned in a few months and bought a house on a golf course with a full view of Mount Shasta (and not many people!

Sweetie's Cafe has been a beloved local fixture just outside downtown Redding for years. This family-owned and operated spot is tucked away at 3105 S. Market Street in Redding, California.

New China Restaurant at 3669 Eureka Way scores a great review from out food critic.
