This restaurant shows a lot of promise, but it falls short in key areas. The service was painfully slow and disorganized, though I can’t fully blame our waitress—she was the only one working the entire floor, clearly stretched too thin. The food itself was underwhelming; it lacked flavor and didn’t live up to the price point. For what we paid, I expected a much better experience. With some improvements in staffing and seasoning, this place could shine, but as it stands, it’s a 5 out of 10.

We came in for lunch right at opening today with our two wild kids, and our server was so kind and patient the whole time. We asked for our check and boxes early because the kids were being a bit much, and she totally understood. She even helped us box everything up and made us feel really taken care of. Great service and such a welcoming attitude, we really appreciated it!

I have been visiting the Viking for over a decade. If you are looking for the best wings you will ever have in your entire life, you need to try their wings. Their pizza bones are fantastic, and so is their buffalo chicken salad. You are seated quickly, order taken promptly, and food comes out in a reasonable time. Their staff is always kind, and try their best to spark up genuine conversation.

We had The Happy Viking cater our wedding, and it was wonderful! Chris and his team got the job done without any issues, and the presentation was top notch. I would hire recommend for your next event.

I had the Philly cheese steak sandwich which was burnt very bad but I was able to share a meal with my husband which was ok (I wanted what I ordered which is why it's just ok) they didn't charge me for my sandwich so definitely willing to try again

Very delicious drinks and wings had problems with getting things to the table, but I was not in a rush. Recommend mixing a dry rub and a sauce together wings so so good!

Overall this place was pretty good, burgers, pizza, Steakhouse. The food was good, and really good size portions, the American portion size . The ribeye was good, ask for medium rare and got rare, borderline blue but it still wasn't bad. You get to choose two sides and it automatically comes with a salad and a roll. The atmosphere was nice, it's a bar, pub, restaurant. It is a little loud but that's what you get, it's not a bad atmosphere at all. And the service for being how busy they were they did very well. The Waitresses were hustling and we had a party of 20. They do not take reservations but they were able to help us out saving 3 tables. Overall definitely good experience would to go back for sure because we're not from yuba city but highly recommend!the prices are a little high but the portion size is also big so it does help! Per person you're spending no less then $30! So be prepared
