5th Street Steakhouse is one of the top three fine dining establishments in Chico and probably the most successful in terms of number of diners served weekly. There is often a 45 - 60 minute wait. 5th Street is located a block from downtown in a historic brick building. The place is loud due to the number of customers and the bricks walls. There is an outdoor patio and beautifully wood panelled/wine rack appointed back room that can be reserved for private dinners and business meetings.
The bar area is adjacent to the dining room, with local beers on tap, exotic martinis featured and extensive California wine list.
The classic iceberg wedge salad with house made blue cheese dressing if a great way to start. Steaks are, I would say, mid sized for the price, tasty and well prepared. They have several specials every night, usually a steak with a unique sauce or combination and a fresh seafood dish. My wife has the double lobster tail almost every time. Pretty expensive but very good.
I love creme brulee' and got on a kick trying at at many restaurants around the world during my travels. 5th Street has the best I have ever tasted and a very generous portion.
The bozo that thought Outhouse Steakback was better that 5th St must think Denny's is fine dining. I have been to the Chico location three times and had terrible food (cold steak, a tough grisly steak, a baked potato that would not melt butter, ice cold soup, forgotten salad) and indifferent service. Bad luck I guess. The Fosters beer was ice cold. Looks like the owners ran out of money and decorated with free beer signs from Budweiser and Fosters.

The last guy who said that he enjoyed the Outback Steakhouse more than 5th Street in Chico, thats a guy who has eaten at red lobster and ihop his whole life. The fillet mignion or any other cut of meat they serve for that matter are excellent. When you serve good meat you don't over flavor it. Natural flavor. For the ranch dressing he was complaining about, your probably looking at the kids menu, try a vinargette or something. Fifth street never disappoints. So go enjoy out back steak house if you like, the rest of us will stay local and enjoy locally raised meats and top notch produce ect.

I can't believe the review I just read on 5th Street!??!! The place is AMAZING. The food is to die for!! Dear God, you thought Outback Steak House was better?? I can't imagine the thought! Fifth Street is the favorite restaurant amongst my group of friends (mid-30's). The petite filet, mid-rare is the best. Doesn't compare to anywhere else I've eaten.
Ignore the previous review. Most everyone knows that Fifth Street is one of the best restaurants in Chico.

First the good! The decor was great. The Garlic Mashed Potatos were EXCELLANT. The sour doug bread was great. The wait staff Top Notch. The dessert for my wife's birthday was outstanding. Then It goes down hill from there. This resturant was recomended to me from a close friend as being better than Outback SH. He could not be more wrong. Dreadful comes to mind of their cusine. The house salad, horrible, the ranch dressing was white liquid with no taste. The iced tea tasted of flowers, what? The steak was prepared well, with no taste. The lighting was low and flickering constantly, and the place was too loud. $ 35.00 for a meal where the steak and potatos were the only included items is bad. This resturant failed in the primary item nessesary for sucess, taste. This resturant lacks it almost wholly. Deffinately not worth the prices they charge, and we did not order the expensive items. Outback Steakhouse may be a franchised chain, BUT they continually serve good food. That is the secret to sucess.
