I have been dining with you for years but wanted to make a special note regarding my most recent experience. I was in the position to be dining alone on a Friday night. I was greeted enthusiastically by the front staff, and there was none of the awkward 'single diner' vibe that is the bane of so many restaurants.
My meal was second to none. My order unfortunately had apparently gotten 'lost' and there was a significant delay. This was courteously addressed by the manager, and I was offered a desert in return for my patience. For me the dining experience is so much more than the quality of what's on the plate.The congeniality of your staff goes a long way to enhancing the already superb food you are famous for.
If I could give one piece of constructive criticism, I would enjoy a different caliber of stemware, especially when ordering a bottle. It really does enhance the wine and would encourage me to up market my selection.
I had come in a few hours earlier to check out the new floor plan, and take a gander at the menu. There was a young woman up front, with a tie on, a server I assume, who graciously let me look around. As I was leaving, hours later, in the midst of the Friday night rush, she stopped me on the way out to see how my dinner had been. It is gestures like that, that keep people coming back. The sincerity of your staff speaks well to the management. I will be back again with family, friends and yes alone.
Thanks for your continuing to do what you do so well. John F - Chico CA - 10/24/2009

Who doesn't love a good, juicy steak? OK, vegetarians, you're exempt. But for the rest of us meat lovers, it doesn't get much better than 5th Street Steak House, where the filet mignon comes out nice and pink, accompanied by any variety of a la carte side dishes. And don't forget the wine - this is a date place extraordinaire, the true definition of wining and dining. Best of Chico 2009 - Best Local Restaurant

Chicoans love the steakhouse. What steakhouse? Well, 5th Street Steakhouse, of course. Yes, this year 5th Street scored big in three categories, taking Best Fine Dining, Local and Overall restaurant in Chico. Sure, you can order great seafood and chicken at this south-campus eatery, but the beef, such as the mouth-watering filet mignon, is what keeps loyal customers coming back year after year.

My roommate and brother took me to 5th Street for my birthday last weekend. There was a 90 min wait on a Sat night, but I have to admit it was worth it. Get there early, have a drink at the wonderful bar, and maybe start with an appetizer (the calamari is fantastic). I had one of the specials of the day which were melt in your mouth scallops. It came with risotto and broccolini. Their special salad with pears was truly amazing. Well worth the wait, but I’d suggest if you’re in a hurry to make reservations which are accepted Sun-Thurs

Everytime I’m up in Chico I look forward to going to 5th Street Steakhouse. The BBQ Prawn appetizer is incredible, and I love the Chopped Wedge Salad. They have a fantastic wine list with something for everyone. Prices are very reasonable compared to the ‘Big’ Steak Houses popping up everywhere, and I believe the food is better as well... The last time I was there I had a special filet with cheddar polenta and arugula. It was incredible the way the arugula enhanced the flavor of the beef. Excellent... Now if I could just figure out how to make it at home. I hear a rumor they’re coming to Folsom and I’m already telling my friends who are all very excited to have such an outstanding restaurant coming to our little town!

This is the best restaurant to come to in Chico. I would suggest their filet. The flavor is like none I have ever had and I have had a few steaks in my day... Not one of their appetizers will disappoint you. For sides they have a huge baked potato, fries (to die for), you can get vegetables, and they have a little delight called potato cakes which is one of my personal favorites to mix things up... Do yourself a favor and visit this fine establishment.

Best Steaks anywhere. One of the few North Valley restaurants that not only knows what Dubonnet is, but also stocks it at the bar. I’ve had steaks from San Francisco, to Chicago, to St. Louis and to New York. This restaurant gets it consistently right (over a 3-year period). The garlic mashed potatoes are wonderful.

BEST restaurant in Chico (Nov 22, 2006). Not even a contest, great atmosphere, great drinks, great service, great steaks. The salmon with the cream cheese top is one of the best fish dishes I have ever had. The brownie sundae is worth selling a child over. If you are trying to save cash, sit at the bar and order drinks and a burger (it comes with melted blue cheese and bacon). It is amazing!

Honestly one of the best restaurants in Chico (actually as good or better than any in the city) and worth the money. Beautiful room, open kitchen and super-pro staff. Everything on the menu is amazing! The Nick’s Grill is excellent. They also do fish right. Make sure to get the garlic spinach and also the shoestring onion rings even as a side. Seriously... Desserts are top notch.
