Steak!! Get your steak on. Busy on a Thursday night. Ordered some dirty martinis and it turned out delicious. For food we got chicken wings with sauces on the side and tempura green beans. The chicken wings were good, fried to protection! But the winner was surprisingly the green beans. So good, with the extra crispiness of tempura. As for main entrees I got their surf and turf, which came with a ribeye and shrimp in butter. The ribeye I enjoyed. My husband thought his flap steak was too lean and wanted my ribeye instead. So we swapped and the flap steak was good, added some salt and it was fine. A good traditional steak place in a small town. No fu fu food. read more

Love Westside Grill, they have amazing food, great staff and a relaxing ambiance for a Friday/Saturday night dinner with some good company!

Had an unexpected stopover in Gilroy and asked the receptionist at our hotel where we should have dinner. Without hesitation he recommended Westside Grill. We sat at the bar and had such a lovely time. Richie was behind the bar, and he was super passionate about the menu and knowledgeable about the town of Gilroy. Richie enthusiastically gave us recommendations of all his favorite dishes and did not steer us wrong. I chose the garlic pasta since we were after all in garlic country and it was perfect. So tasty and linguine was cooked perfectly al dente. It came with a choice of soup or salad and I couldn't say no to the lobster bisque! Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a great meal and a nice time in Gilroy. read more

short rib ravioli was great! Clam chowder was great! Wine selection was great! Respectful staff, however only problem is the rib eye steak. Ask for medium rare, it came out with a weird sauce on top of it and well done grey. There was almost no seasoning. The overall cut tasted very cheap and burnt read more

We came upon this restaurant while driving home from an event in Northern California. We don't know the restaurant scene in Gilroy so let Yelp guide us, and we are so happy to find this place. The food was delicious! Started with lettuce wraps. The chicken was nicely seasoned but the star was the peanut sauce. Our main dishes were all very good. The linguini and clams stole the show. The broth was rich and flavorful, and there were ample clams. The blackened salmon salad was very good - salmon was cooked beautifully. The salad was a larger version of the house salad. We sat in the outdoor courtyard. It was very pleasant, dog friendly, and quiet (even though you are close to a major road). The service was great! Very attentive server but the person responsible for filling our waters and clearing dishes was amazing! So quick to get us anything we needed. read more

Price is great for the quality and large portions given. Dessert menu has at least a half dozen items and I really loved the Crème Brûlée. Service is good, ambience is nice pleasant. read more

It's a little disturbing that the price of their lunch 8 oz ribeye increased by $4 in one fell swoop (it was $20, now it's $24). I can see their perspective tho, with covid and all. Even taking the price increase into consideration, it still deserves 5 stars. Why? This restaurant nails it all, every single time I go there. Service is excellent. They don't cut corners on the side salad like many restaurants (this time it had roasted corn, peas, olives, beets, carrots, multi-color cherry tomatoes, and cucumber over mixed greens, no iceberg lettuce). The steak is always cooked perfectly. This place still gets two thumbs up from me! read more

We were in Gilroy my wife asked if we could go to Westside grill. Walked in seated right away. Had a very good cocktail with deep fried asparagus very good. Ordered bolognese very good next time will have it again. To full for dessert. read more

Sat at the bar, drinks were good and the food was delicious. The wings were a hit. The service was exceptional, the servers took good care of us. Would definitely go back to have a drink or two. read more

OMG the food, how good is it, let's just say you will have dreams about it. If you are a hamburger connoisseur I recommend the California burger with fries and lobster Bisque soup, I'm drooling just thinking about it and I only ate it minutes ago. lol If the food doesn't fill your foodie demands the service will, they will watch you from a distance to see if you need anything and ask if you need anything before you know what you need, now that service! Of all the things thus far the ambiance will make you feel like you're in a five star Michelin restaurant until you get the bill, you realize that the quality of food and service should equal the cost of the tip (no joke here, completely affordable). Hope you and your family enjoy this family friendly experience. p.s. After finishing my review of West Side Grill and I got hungry again for seconds of their lobster Bisque soup, it is that good! read more

We love Westside Grill, never disappointed with the service or the food. We went in thanksgiving day without reservations and we were seated immediately. We did the specials, prime rib and the turkey dinner. Absolutely amazing. Could not have been happier with them on this day. read more

We were passing through Gilroy to get home and wanted to grab some dinner. Westside Grill popped up on a Yelp search and the reviews led us to the doors. When we arrived, we were seated almost immediately for outdoor dining. Our party of 5 was seated at a table with almost zero lighting -- we could not even read the menu. The outdoor "patio" is shared with other businesses in the plaza so the lighting was only from the dim lighting from the corners of the building. Note to restaurant owners: if you're going to offer outdoor dining, it would probably be a good idea to invest in outdoor lamps to make the space more brighter. I'm all for "romantic" settings but don't like to eat in the dark. We eventually asked one of the servers to move us to another table that had a little bit better lighting -- but still, it was hard to see our food while eating. Service: these guys are spread thin or don't have enough servers? The young lady that waited on us was super busy and we could barely flag her down. At one point, I personally went to the kitchen door and asked someone for extra salsa. Food: one of my girls ordered the Apple Harvest Salad and while it was very refreshing and tasty -- the purple cabbage was bad. She literally had to pick out every single piece of the purple cabbage because it made her salad bitter and smell old. My grilled sea bass (which was offered on their Specials Menu) was super tiny -- not sure if it was worth $30. This restaurant may be a good choice in non-COVID conditions but it's not for me as of now. We do not plan on returning which is too bad because we frequent the Gilroy Outlets and would've loved to have a favorite dinner spot in Gilroy. read more

By FAR my favorite restaurant in Gilroy ! I've been back here about four times now just because I can't get enough! I went back today when it was about 100 degrees outside and it was SO WORTH IT. Everything about this place is great: the management, service, community, food, outdoor seating setup! I 110% recommend checking this place out! Dishes I've tried so far and my thoughts : - CA Burger: wooow 5/5 stars!! Super juicy patty and the avocado is such a nice touch. Get fries as your side for sure! - Thai Chicken Pizza: hmmm 3.5/5 stars just bc I wasn't the biggest fan of the sauce; reminded me a bit of BBQ sauce. The texture was really good tho; very crispy! I'll probably try the chicken pesto version next time. - Chicken Pesto Pasta: 5/5 stars hands down! I loved everything about this decadent dish. From the sauce to the pine nuts used - Steak and Avocado Sandwich: 4/5 stars! The steak was just a bit dry in my opinion, BUT the flavors were great! The steak and avocado compliment each other very well! I would probably choose a burger over this tho! - Crab Melt: 5/5 stars the most recent dish I've tried! Wow oh wow the flavors are exquisite and the crab oooof. Also, I'm the type of person that never finishes her bread because I get sick of it pretty easily, but I gobbled all of it down for this sandwich. The crispness was irresistible! read more

Ate here for my birthday dinner with some friends and family. To say this place is expensive doesn't give it Justice to the final bill you will receive so let's just ignore that now.... The menu has some unusual items and a few familiar ones, to start I had a Cesar salad and some appetizers that are LARGE enough to share with everyone (we ordered the calamari) truthfully you almost don't want to share, is it fair to just keep it to yourself? I am NOT sure what the answer etiquette would dictate (haha) For my main course I had the bacon cheddar burger, it was grilled to perfection and was very tasty. The waiter brought me a brownie, I almost never partake in dessert but since it was my birthday and everyone worked so hard to make my day special I figured what the heck. It was awesome! Thank you for the hospitality. Not sure if I will be back, but I do recommend this place. read more

Love this restaurant. Me and my wife have been dining here for 6+ years and I don't think we've ever had a bad experience here. The wait time is always fair even on a busy weekend. The staff is great and always welcoming. Waiters and bar staff always have good positive energy, always smiling and always checking in on us and attentive to our needs. The food never disappoints. Menu is loaded with several options for adults and kids. The ambience is also great especially if you sit in the bar area on a Saturday night. It's definitely the place to eat at in Gilroy. Highly recommend! read more

As with most places, the prices have really increased but that hasn't stopped their repeat customers from treating themselves to their accustomed menu items. I crave their lobster bisque soup. It has great flavor - thick red-in-color creamy soup with little chunks of lobster meat. There's only been one time out of many where I had absolutely no lobster meat in my cup but I didn't even mind cause I just really do like the flavor of the creamy deliciousness. The scallops entree is delicious but again it's super pricey at around $40 (I think/pretty sure). The crab Louie was a bummer and I wouldn't get that again. Not worth the high price tag of $20+ The crab melt sando is delish! Served grilled on sourdough bread. Mmmm Their burgers and French dip are also solid faves, as well as their string cut fries (get the garlic fries! Your breath will not thank you but your belly will!)! The staff is always friendly and attentive! Such nice people! read more

I cannot speak more highly about West Side Grill and their staff. They take "excellence" to another level. They truly go above and beyond with every single detail. We come here for all of our special occasions. The food is the best and so is the service. Kim C. is truly one of the best servers you will ever encounter, after our first dinner with her, she felt like a friend, and has honestly become one. Her attention to detail, incredible memory, great personality *and heart* will bless you so much! This whole staff is just awesome. Every server, every manager, the hostesses...will make you feel at home and seriously take care of you. The particular meal that I order is a little "extra special" because I have food allergies, and let me tell you, they are SO gracious with me. I have actually never been to a restaurant that has worked so hard to make sure my meals turn out perfect. Not only have I not had any allergy problems but the food is scrumptious. It is always such a wonderful experience all the way around. And the environment is fun and great for any occasion! read more

I gave the 5 stars due to John Henry saving the day by making us feel appreciated for coming to dine here. Our server was very rude and had us sitting waiting to take our order while serving people who sat down after us, just overall rude. Been coming here for almost 15 years, never once had an issue. Thank you again John Henry, you're amazing! read more

If you start your day here for breakfast it will be the best start! We came here for a family birthday brunch and it was amazing. The mimosas are so refreshing. Their pancakes the size of the plates. Their breakfast menu was extensive so that's nice because everyone wanted different things. Super friendly staff and very attentive. We all left happy and super stuffed! We will have to come experience lunch and dinner! read more

Our first brunch here [6/8/2012 reservation @ 1030, 7 people] & it was wonderful. The fried green beans, the blackened salmon, the vegetable omelet, & everything we ordered were just delicious & fresh. Our server Omar was also very nice - THANK YOU. Cesar also cleared our table. Everyone were just so nice. We will definitely visit again. read more

We celebrated an early Christmas with our family here at Westside Grill. The servers did a great job handling our 20+ party. I was surprised how busy this grill was! The food here was surprisingly good! Note that the bar can't/doesn't know how to make an aperol spritz. I had: *tempura green beans: served with saffron aioli -- these were AWESOME. Nicely deep-fried. *baja tacos (corn tortillas, shredded cabbage, avocado, cilantro aioli, refried beans, choice of chicken or salmon) -- says corn tortilla but it was actually flour & we had it with chicken. Not bad. An order came with 3 *crab salad (lump and dungeness crab meat, cucumber, tomato, boiled egg, avocado, choice of dressing and fresh greens) - I made sure that it wasn't some weird mayo crab concoction and I added ahi tuna for extra protein. I wish there were better options for salad dressing though. The balsamic didn't quite jive. All in all, a jolly time! read more

Completely love this place! We were looking for a restaurant (thats not a franchise) selling steak for lunch and we came across this place! My son, wife and myself were very VERY happy we ran across this place!! We were warmly greeted and seated upon arriving! This place has a very nice and homey atmosphere!! I had the Moscow mule, which was made to perfection! Wife had hot green tea which was served in a very classy way. My boy (5years of age) was craving for steak and the 8oz Ribeye was more than enough for him! Loved the food, atmosphere and great service! The lobster bisque which went with the entrees was very good too. Rich and creamy! The pricing is also very reasonable! The food quality and the service itself more than justifies its very affordable pricing! Definitely must go to this place after shopping at the Gilroy Outlets! Let dining in this restaurant be the cherry on top after your long shopping day! read more

My husband has been wanting to come here for years and we recently went and had a great time. It was pretty busy for lunch but our waiter was really on it and gave great recommendations! We split the Cobb salad and a tri tip sandwich. 10/10 recommend. Will make sure to go back whenever we are in the area. Pros: Quality of food, great price, sits groups more than 5, AC for indoor dining, friendly staff, they also have an outside patio read more

This place is a solid 4 stars. They have an outside dining area, but you wouldn't know it from the parking lot... the outside dining area is in the courtyard of the larger building. Which is also great because it provides a lot of shade for the diners. We ordered from the lunch menu after initially being given a brunch menu, even though it was closing in on 4 PM. Darn! Some of their brunch items sounded great. Anyway, we ordered the Tempura Green Beans, the Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps, and a rib-eye steak. The salad that came with the steak was awesome. Large, and the ingredients were fresh. The Tempura Green Beans were excellent! Just crispy enough, and the saffron aioli was a great complement. The Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps were also good. Plenty of slaw, Asian noodles, and chicken to fill the six or seven pieces of lettuce. The only real downside was that the steak we ordered was over cooked. We ordered a medium steak; we got medium well - no pink at all. But everything else was on point! We'd be back if we're ever in the Gilroy area again. read more

We were staying at a beautiful Airbnb in Watsonville and we were looking for a quick bite on our day trip home from San Fran. This place had good reviews and it was open! (Just FYI, if you're from a city...these small towns, rarely have decent places open past 8pm!) It was a Saturday night and very busy, we were told it would be around a half hour wait. Once seated, we already knew what we wanted so asked if we could order right away. However, we had to wait for our waitress. She was no where to be found....for a long time! Finally she ran past us and said 'I'll be right with you' That was before she had to help another table pay and then disappeared again. I think by this point, we were a little hangry, so needless to say, we inhaled our food once it arrived. I ordered the beef short rib tortellini and it was delicious! I only got a picture of mine as my husband and friends were to hungry and dug right in....I don't blame them! So, the good was good, on the expensive side, but my tortellini had good chunks of beef short rib and I was very full afterwards. Everyone else found their sauces a little watery (we all ordered pastas) it still had good flavour. All in all, I don't think we'd search this place out again in the little area of Santa Cruz/Watsonville/Gilroy read more

Worked up an appetite with a morning hike at Coyote Lake. What to do? Find a filling breakfast! Westside Grill offers massive breakfast favorites. The recommendation offered by our server was chicken fried steak and side of pancakes. And oh boy! Sizable crispy steak, pounded by mallet vs a burger patty. Hash browns and of course, a short stack of sweeten pancakes. Yup, the pancakes were sweetened so maybe syrup is optional?! read more

This review is for the restaurants, new manager Alisa. My husband and i frequent this restaurant because the food is always amazing. And Service has always been great. except last night. We walked in, sat about 10 minutes to get seated, which is no big deal. The restaurant was packed. They finally seated us and we sat for a good 20 to 30 minutes with no one acknowledging us. My husband and I had been working in our yard all day and had not eaten so we were looking forward to getting a good meal. Because no one acknowledged us or bought us anything to drink. My husband went to the bar and got each of us a cocktail when he was gone Finally Alisa came up to our table and asked me if she could help me or if anybody had helped us yet I said no and that we've been sitting for 20 to 30 minutes. She asked me if she could get me a glass of wine. I said no my husband went to get our drinks because nobody waited on us. I was a bit crabby because I was so hungry.lol when my husband came back to the table she came up and told us she was taking care of our drinks. She was very apologetic and super nice. They had a short staff. We totally understand that things happen. It was just really nice for her to be so caring, apologetic, and professional. Brought a salad and soup out to us immediately with bread and took our order... very impressive and we are so thankful to be treated so nice. Had the best dinner ever thank you, Alisa it was great to meet you!! The Guarys. read more
