A diner from Chico, CA
Apr 19, 2010
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.
