This place is such a fun and unique experience! We were visiting a family friend that lives in Oakrun and we heard this restaurant has one of the best steaks. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. We mentioned we've never been here before and she explained the process. We had our salads first. Very fresh and loved the ranch dressing. As people mentioned in the reviews, do not come here if you are already starving. It's a small grill, where only two tables at a time can cook their meal. Unfortunately, we happened to have a huge family party that was holding up the grill but what can you do about it. The waitress came and got our table when it was our turn to grill. They provided the steaks, baked potatoes and bread. Next to the grill was a tub of butter that you could slather onto your food items and all the seasonings needed for meat. I have never grilled and was worried about destroying/over cooking my steak. The waitress said it's a magic grill they have and you can't mess it up. Well, she was certainly right! Everything turned out phenomenal and our table of three had so much fun cooking our meal. You also cannot beat the prices for a huge meal! We took tons of leftovers home. Definitely will be coming back here when we're in the area again.
Updating my review because it's now obvious this establishment is under new ownership since my last visit. My experience was 10x better and I will be back! Kudos to the new owner for doing what needed to be done!
Loved the low-key rural/country bar vibe. Great people, solid cocktails, and high-quality ribeye made this a great find. It felt like one of my favorite country bars, only you get to grill your own steak the way you like it. I'm going back every time I'm in town.
Alright people, if you walk in and notice there's a grill in the dining room with patrons cooking, you've been warned. I've been once, after hearing about PCI for years. I was with a group of 8, and we enjoyed good service, cold beers and we fought over who got to cook our steaks. I don't go out often because I arrogantly think I can cook better food than most restaurants do, and I get bored sitting and waiting for food. Good service, cold beer, cocktails if you want them, and I get to do what I love... cook. Love it! If you read this and later complain in a review that you had to cook your protein.........
Grew up in Palo Cedro and came back to visit and went to the PCI for the first time. Always heard it was great and it sure was. Such a cool concept to cool your own food. Will be back.
My husband had the steak and I had the salmon. We both enjoyed our meals and the bloody Mary was great! New favorite spot! The waitress was also very attentive, despite being so busy.
I cook it. No complaints. Over done, my fault, undercooked? Also, my fault. The best little dinner salad around and really affordable.
Growing up in Palo Cedro inn the '70s-'80s, the PCI was this forbidden place...My parents occasionally went, but I mainly knew the area for The Sandwich Board, Fritz's and the liquor store that sold beer nuts and Garbage Pail Cards. I moved from the area in the early '90s, and didn't get to visit the PCI until my 30s and the first time was only for drinks. This was the first year I ever went for the cook your own steak, and my New York didn't disappoint. Living in the Bay Area you pay for every side separately, and about 3x the price for the meat, plus none of the fun of cooking it. When/if I'm in the area again, I'll be back .
