My life will never be the same anymore. What an amazing place! We started off with the Burrata - which is an experience in and of itself. But then *drum roll* we had the Wild West Burger. A mix of elk/bison/wagyu and wild boar meat and let me tell you…. I wasn’t ready: the heavens broke open, angels literally descended down upon me and my mouth had an other worldly celebration. The Chrysalis mocktail was some sort of glorious sorcery and it tasted so good. By far the best food ever. The staff was absolutely amazing - we talked about the area, they were excellent with recommendations and overall such a pleasure. 12/10 recommend and will be back. Thank you Denny Bar Co!

This place is a Gem! Tucked away in the quaint town of Etna California, people take the drive from out of town to experience this restaurant and I can see why! The staff had great energy on the phone and in person. The Denny bar has their own distillery, tasting room, inside and outside seating. I recommend making a reservation to promptly get in if you don’t want to wait. Like I said people are driving here because they know this place is amazing! When they seated us they had a personalized card welcoming us. They had a great selection for drink flights. The only problem was trying to narrow down which flavors I wanted to try so we got two flights! I would say choosing what to eat was just as hard. The waitress kept checking in with us to see if we needed anything and how everything tasted. If you get a chance this is definitely a must to check out.

Absolute wonderful place, from the beautiful vintage red brick on the outside to the warm cozy home-like atmosphere on the inside. This place is amazing through and through. The menu is adventurous as it is delicious, I only wish we lived closer so we could enjoy everything they have to offer. The staff were attentive and kind! My family will definitely be returning next time we pass through town.

I confirmed the rumors about this delightful out of the way place by having lunch with an old friend yesterday. It was on the middle of a 160 mile motorcycle ride from Southern Oregon to Northern California and back. It contributed to a rare near perfect day. The drunken potstickers with the entree upgrade of rice and mixed vegetables and small mixed greens salad was perfect. My friend had firecracker shrimp. Spicy but not excessive for an octogenarian. Go out of your way for the experience. It's worth it.

Update 3/24/25 Food is still fantastic! Service with 2 older women wasn't the best, the one didn't write down anything we ordered, party of 6 and she had 2 come back twice because she couldn't remember our orders? If she wrote everything down in the first place instead of trying g to go off memory, things would have been smoother. She also messed up our seeprate checks and had to come to us twice to fix it. Another older waitress was rude when I asked for 2 ranch for my pizza, she stated 'there's one right there' and pointed to my friends 2 ranches that he had ordered for himself. I stated ' those are his, please get me 2 of my own' snd she huffed and puffed away and was rude after she brought the ranch. I get it, we all have things to deal with but it was a simple request. So the service this time wasn't spot on like I stated in my other review. But the food is still gooood! Mediterranean pizza was acidic due to the olives and pepperoncinis, but other than that it was good! Fish and chips were bussin! Highly recommend! Firecracker Shrimp appetizer was very good, should make shrimp tacos with that shrimp! Super good! Ribeye was fantastic! Pricey but worth it! And the burger with 4 different meats is always great! Definitely coming back! Food- the food here was excellent, kind of pricey but it's understandable being a small, very small town! The western burger in the Brie and jalapeno burger or extremely good and highly recommend! Pretzel bun, with a side salad hid different! Also got the artichoke dip with the flatbread, for an appetizer this is extremely good and highly recommend getting this and I will definitely get this the next time I'm there. Service- are waitress was very nice, helpful, attentive and had a smile on her face the entire time! I don't know her name but she was younger with glasses and very nice! It was lunch time, wasn't busy but there were people there and she made sure to check up on us roughly every 5 to 10 minutes Atmosphere- first time being here I didn't know it was a distillery, the place inside is very beautiful, the atmosphere was chill, no loud music and everyone else eating there was not loud at all! The bar and Distillery layout with the restaurant was well put together. They have souvenirs or gifts you can buy right at the front counter I live about two and a half hours from here, definitely will go there again! The place overall was enjoyable, the staff was wonderful, the food was great, not me but my friend got a old-fashioned and he said it was great as well!

Amazing food and atmosphere! We enjoyed all the items on the menu the many times our motorcycle touring group stays in Etna. The chef has created many great selections from the kitchen and the pizza chef, Kay, has mastered incredible pizzas from their wood fired oven. If that wasn't enough, the bar and on-site distillery makes amazing spirits and cocktails. Liz is a great bartender and the wait staff are all great too! I HIGHLY recommend Denny Bar Co. when passing through or staying in Scott Valley. It's worth the drive!

There a couple weeks ago with the kids after house shopping and it's always a big deal to go to Denny Bar for them! Ashley was our server and always does a great job! Thanks Ashley! The wife and i go for date nights too, but, not as often as we would like, and Denny Bar never disappoints on food, service or atmosphere! Thanks for being there Denny Bar! P.s. love their premium vodka!!!
