It's a jam. Went on a Sunday night for a comedy show. Sound was great. The people working were busting their ass off with a smile. The crowd was great and friendly. Drinks, dang, 2 long drinks for 10 bucks, pitcher of beer for 12. Huge plate of chicken wings for 15 bucks, burgers I heard we're also great. Parking is stupid, not sure much can be done about it. Location is a bit on the outskirts for chico. Its a bit dark inside. 21+ on Fri and sat only, but not sure I'm ready to bring the kids. But dang, 3 burgers for 20 bucks on Monday! Did not sample the actual bait store but heard it's good.

A great large place with a friendly crowd. a perfect beer selection for me and great happy hour prices! We enjoyed watching the line dancing and karaoke. Fun people! Will return next time I'm in the area.

Kind of sad when a business faith is dictated by reviews dating years and years ago. Kind of like herpes, if I may, they never seem to disappear, specially when said reviews are detrimental and no longer apply to the present. Finally I went to this poorly rated establishment for their Taco Tuesday Special at $1.25 each. I should add that previously someone brought to our place the Monday Special, Burger night, which at this day and age must admit was unbeatable and rather tasty. The kind of special that defies all odds. Also, previously as well had their Wednesday Chicken Wings Special. That one, sadly, a fiasco. Super dry wings, devoid of all appeal, but for the money the quantity was decent. Anywho, Tackle Box simply rocks, and from the looks it distinguished itself as a truly unique scene. Staff reeked of good manners and friendly demeanor, which I must confess, truly appreciate. The shower singer in me wanted to get up on their stage and make a fool out of myself. The square footage truly mind altering, and the one question nagging me was: why the few and not so good comments? The bar alone is quite a sight! Tacos: small but loaded, easy to devour but please no less than 6, or will wish it had been. Salsa, meats, sauce, not shabby at all. Staff, as happily mentioned, nice as can be. Restroom particularly clean and originally decorated. Heard Happy Hour beers run for $4 a piece? If so, it would take quite a few to tune up. I thank the good man that drove us there. Karaoke Night Sundays? Buzzed enough I see no reason why I would not make a fool out of myself, God knows over the years I repeatedly have in good fun. Johnny Rivers "Poor Side of Town" seems about right. Tackle Box is an original, and from what I heard, the ownership which dates back and crew deserve plenty of recognition. 1 star 6 years ago, 10? Hello? How about recently, after all, this is no simple predictable place. Music does rule. 4.5 Stars.

Loved the food. It was a bit dark and the music was a bit loud for a Thursday night in a mostly empty bar, but once the DJ came in it was better. I didn't get a photo of our food but it's the best fish & chips I've had in the Chico area in the 10 months I've been looking for a fish & chips place. My husband had the naked pepper wings and loved them. Will be back again to try more foods and maybe dance next time :)

I have always heard alot about this place around town but never gave it a try. The name reminds me of something to due with Fishing, not sure if that's on purpose or not but hey I find it to be pretty unique. Apparently they have everything from Midget Wrestling to Sean Kingston concerts. Anyways, I can't comment on any of those wild and crazy events but what I can comment on is the food that i ordered through DoorDash! I've been super busy so I haven't had the chance to leave a review but I placed this order on August 15th around 10am. I ordered the Tri Tip Sandwich and the French Dip both with Gouda. The food arrived and I was happy with my order. Nothing over the top but definitely nothing bad, that's for sure. I'd like to stop in sometime and then i'd be able to say more about this establishment but thank you guys for a delicious lunch last month! I appreciate it!

Best biscuits and gravy I've ever eaten. Decent pricing. Bar Maids are nice (and attractive). Yep....nuff said....

Tacklebox has really good bar food. Especially the Garlic fries. Bands generally on Friday and Saturday nights. Big dance floor just wish they didn't allow drinks on it and would give it a good waxing.

Had breakfast and it was amazing! Fresh gravy and biscuits! So much flavor and wasn't from a package which is wonderful- chicken fried steak was great too and we shared both and it was plenty of food. Can't wait to try some other stuff there!

When I visit the Chico office for my company and buy them food, they always request it from this place. Killer burritos and catering. We just had them do catering for 30 people and the Chicken and brisket were on point and everyone was happy. The staff and the food are top notch.

If you want a low key Honkey Tonk vibe then this place is your Jam. Pizza, Wings were good, drinks were cheap.
