I'm a frequent flyer here and the food never fails to disappoint! I've tried something off each of their menus and it's all been fantastic! All the workers are so sweet and helpful. 10/10 food and 10/10 service! All the men and women in the grill are pleasant to be around and all work very fast and well! The grill provides a peaceful atmosphere with live music some days!! Some of my favorite dishes are the steak, salmon, hot honey fried chicken sandwich, sliders, burgers, salads, fish tacos, and their breakfast burritos! Amazing dessert as well. read more

Woodside Grill - Fish tacos - Bars Near Me - Anderson, California

first off let me say AnnaLyn and Debbie rock! Okay having said that.. my son and his GF are in town and are staying at the Gaia hotel in Anderson.. my recommendation of course!!! Anywhoo I'm ranting about the restaurant and how that handled a small goof on a food order.. they handled it like my husband and I did for years at our business, which is the customer is first! I definitely recommend Woodside! And Gaia for that matter. Finally a class act establishment in Shasta county! read more

Restaurant upgraded, relaxing atmosphere with excellent service. Sunday brunch is a must. Highly recommend read more

I stayed at Gaia Hotel for two nights when it was very foggy in the area so I appreciated having a good restaurant on-site. Service was good and waitstaff was informed and helpful. They were quite busy one night but kept track of everyone and their orders. The Woodside Old Fashioned was one of the better old-fashioneds I've had. Ceasar salad was also very good, freshly prepared with lots of Parmesan shavings. I ordered the New York steak rare and it was cooked exactly as I asked, but the steak itself was full of gristle and large fat pockets, so not a great steak. For the price, it should have been much better and that's the only reason for four stars. The second night I had the soup, a Greek chicken soup with orzo pasta. Delicious. Also had the macaroni and cheese which had a nice crunchy top and generous serving. I had breakfast there two mornings - oatmeal with really good fresh berries the first morning, and the California omelet the second day. They were both very good and I would order either one again. The hoteel gave me coupons for 25% off breakfast so it was a bargain. I would recommend Woodside Grill whether you're staying at Gaia or live in the area. read more

We waited 40 minutes for our food. I ordered the fish tacos, and when I finally got them they were inedible. You might as well eat plain salt straight from the shaker, because that is how the tacos were. read more

We had dinner there for my Mom's birthday. We had not been there for awhile. IT WAS FANTASTIC! The service was great (ask for Annalyn). The soup of the day was brilliant, the salmon dinner was really good, and how can you go wrong with chicken tenders and fries? For birthday dessert, they brought out the chocolate brownie Sunday, Mmmmmm! Homemade carmel and chocolate sauces - I've never had anything like it. I'm telling you, this place is FAB!

Fish and chips came out tasting fishy, took one bite out of each piece of fish. Let server know who cleared my plate and they were gracious enough to take 50% off the price for fish n chips. How wonderful of them. 50% off my meal I didn't eat because the entire thing tasted fishy. Now THATS customer service. read more

Thai chicken nachos were excellent! Fries were delicious, service was great. Restaurant was clean and comfortable.

We're out on Valentine's Day. Had a later reservation. Wine pairings didn't reach the table with the food. Been sitting for 20 minutes waiting for our dessert course. Service was s*** you go out for the service. You don't go out for the food. I could have cooked everything there at home. I had the filet wife had. The ravioli ravioli dough is about 1/4 in too. Thick flavor was good but service sucks. Ass. read more

Amateur food, amateur service. Bizarre execution, not sure where these ideas originated, but it would've been best had they not. You've been warned. read more

Excellent ribeye and a good whiskey selection. Service was great. No complaints, overall experience was pleasant.

I went to Woodside Grill for dinner with my future mother-in-law and fiancé on Friday night and it was an amazing experience and so delicious! We started with the Thai Chicken Nachos which were the perfect mix of tangy sweetness and savory flavor. My fiancé couldn't get enough of them! He ate the majority while my mother-in-law tried to fight for what he left us, but every bite was fantastic! I opted for their house cocktail the Black Bottom Lemondrop which I admit I've had before, but am never disappointed it is so yummy every single time. For dinner my mother-in-law got the fried calamari which she generously shared with us and they were amazing. I had the Tempura Fish Tacos and let me tell you sometimes I worry I won't be full when I order the fish tacos from other restaurants, but not Woodside Grill. Every portion size is perfection and packed with flavor. My fiancé had their Woodside Burger with sweet potato fries and I am not exaggerating when I say they were the best sweet potato fries we've both ever had...and let me tell you, we LOVE sweet potato fries. We of course had to save some room for dessert and got the Brownie A La Mode which was the literal cherry on top to an outstanding dinner. The service was outstanding, Mike was our server and he was very kind and attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. My fiancé and I can't say enough good things about this place. We have already booked our table for Valentine's Day. If you have family in town or want to go somewhere for a special occasion this is the spot to take them. From the moment you walk in the atmosphere is inviting and lovely. We can't wait to go again!! read more

I ate here three times during my stay at Gaia and the food here is outstanding. Their breakfast potatoes are to die for. The kitchen's attention to details in the dishes are amazing. You can tell the chefs back there are extremely qualified and they somehow make each dish standout in their own unique ways. Madeline was my server and she was terrific! They have indoor/outdoor dining and a 10 seater bar with tap beers. Overall ambience is chill and well maintained. If you're passing through, local or staying at Gaia, you have got to give this place a shot even for just a cool one on the patio. read more

My son took me Saturday night for an early Mother's Day. From the bread, honey butter and dipping oil to the hot honey chicken sandwich and fish in chip, everything was perfect. We also ordered the calamari and dipping sauces really wowed us. The new staff and chef know what they're doing. My son and I both agreed some of the best food we've had in Shasta county. Hostess and server were perfect and the outdoor patio was lovely. We will definitely be back soon! read more

Woodside Grill - Short rib - Bars Near Me - Anderson, California

Bad service..watched two parties be serviced after I arrived. While I recieved no service.

Waiter was great! But the cook had his family there and instead of working he was over with his kids and eating with his fingers which is very unprofessional! We waited for a hour without our food then his kids running around and crying. I'm not one to leave reviews like this but I feel this needs to be addressed being it used to be my favorite "nice" place to eat at. After this I will not be returning unless they fix these issues. We payed for our drinks and left! Very disappointed! read more

The Woodside Grill should not be overlooked when looking for a good place to eat. The restaurant has been updated and along with the food, the service is top quality. read more

Went back for a second time for those delicious pancakes and was sorely disappointed. The pancakes were so tough and flat and heavy. And the ceiling tiles actually are falling down. Our waiter was wonderful however. They need more consistency read more

Love the menu and the bar here. Darcy is amazing and makes the best drinks! Great appetizers and excellent service.

Our new favorite family spot. Raj the new owner and Josh the chef are super personable and take quality seriously. Hard to choose a favorite but we love the steaks, fish tacos, salads and their fries that are fried in beef tallow!! Great food, wonderful ambiance and amazing people read more

Food and service very good. I had the fried chicken. Loved the atmosphere. Chef came out spoke to us about our dinner. I like he was personable. read more

On February 12, 2026, my grandson (adult) and I had lunch at the grill. Whenever I am in the Anderson area, I also look forward to having lunch or dinner at the grill. I hadn't been in a while, and I was surprised by all of the changes the new owners have done to the space. A new outside patio area with a fire pit and the inside has been opened up with lots of natural light. For our meal, I had the Blackened Chicken Salad (suggested by the very friendly waiter) and he had the Thai Chicken Nachos. The meals came out quick and my chicken was still steaming (nice to get hot food). Both were excellent and we would order both meals again. I need to make a point to get to Anderson more often. I Always enjoy the friendly service and the excellent meals. Great job new owners! I hope more people get to experience the grill. read more

Saw their ad on a billboard as we drove north on 5. Thought we'd give it a try. The server was very friendly, the food was delicious, and the pricing fair. The dining area was quiet, very clean, surrounded with windows looking out on landscape and the parking ample Update: OMG! Back two more times. Chef Chris creates works of art. We had the eggs Bennie and the California omelet. Stellar!! Update #2: This time I want to say more about the service here. Our server has been Peter the last couple times. He is amazing. He remembers our faces and greets us enthusiastically. He even remembered what we ordered last time! This time, my husband ordered the French Dip with garlic fries and I had my fave, the Benedict. Chef Chris was off, but the food and presentation were still awesome. Consistency! The French Dip was right up there with the other dishes we've tried. We recommend!! read more

Delish! Had dinner and breakfast while staying at the Gaia with family for a weekend at the races. Both meals were great! Fish Tacos were outstanding. And the fries I stole off my husband's plate were perfectly fried, with a yummy seasoning. Three of us ordered the Breakfast Burrito the next morning, and all agreed it was one of the best we'd ever had. Very impressed with the food, and equally with the service. Everyone on staff was friendly, but a special shout out for Nathan at the bar for making us feel so welcome. Thank you all for two great meals! read more

Steaks were pre-cooked in a souvee Water bath. Meat was stringy then it was blackened on a flat top grill. cook should be forced to watch Food TV then be fired. Breakfast was an omelet with a plste full of burned potstoes. Again fire this cook too. read more

Philly was fantastic, beer was cold and staff was friendly. Would definitely recommend

Woodys has improved to noise level by installing sound absorbing panels on the ceiling. Great improvement. Is the service is still excellent. Is fish and chips today was wonderful. The fish was perfectly cooked. Goood job all around. read more

Food was great. A little pricey but worth it. Good for a special occasion. Service was good and the place was quiet.

What an amazing top-to-bottom upgrade, after they have recently gotten a new Executive Chef! Our family had eaten at the Woodside Grill several times over the past 3 years, but despite enjoying the light and airy ambience, this was never equaled by the food quality--which ranged from really good, to more often "meh," and sometimes "Wow, I can't believe they served that to us..." But, the real "black hole" was their service: long waits to be seated (even when we had reservations), inattentive servers with bad attitudes, serving cold food, etc. So, we eventually decided to never go back again. However, we heard they had a new Executive Chef, "And the food is great, and service is good." So, we decided to give them one more chance, during a weeknight in the first week of April, 2025--and are we glad we did! We were seated promptly, service was quick, cheerful, professional, and attentive--and with 5 adults in our party, we had a great opportunity to sample a good portion of their entire menu--appetizers, salads, main courses, and desserts. Sharing samples around among our party proved that every bit of food tasted as good as it looked--and it looked great--all food items being very artfully presented. The complete transformation of this restaurant (from top to bottom) had to be experienced first hand--I never would have believed just a verbal testimony, no matter how reliable the source was. So, a tip of our hats, and thanks (for a memorable dining experience!) to their new Executive Chef, Josh Carey. read more

Amazing food and service. The ribeye was cooked perfectly, as was the garlic mashed potatoes and fresh vegetables. The crème brûlée was a delicious finishing touch to a perfect meal. Our server, Laura, was top notch. She was very attentive and helpful. The chef even came by our table and I had to tell him how impressed I was with the taste and presentation of his dishes. read more

Had both breakfast and dinner at /Woodside, excellent, good pricing, great food. Service was excellent.

Date night with my wife and Woodside Grill never disappoints. Wife ordered the bone in pork chop with blackberry reduction and I ordered the braised short ribs with Demi glaze and creamy polenta. We enjoyed and shared both, excellent food! Dessert was the peach cobbler, good not great. Service was excellent. Best thing of all was spending a nice evening with my wife! read more

Very disappointing. No one met us at the door. Finally someone told us to seat ourselves. Ordered fish and chips which took over 20 minutes to get to the table. It looked beautiful but the batter was raw inside. Won't be returning. read more

The food was delicious, the service superb. But...they allowed a woman to come into the almost empty resataraunt with her "support animal", sat them right beside us. Having a family member with a true Service Dog I know how they act and behave. This dog was anxious and would not settle. So the lady sat the dog up in the chair beside her. I believe in service dogs being able to go anywhere but emotional support dogs, especially those who are not actually trained have no business in food establishments. This establishment blew it by allowing the dog in and on its furniture. Wonder what the Health Dept would think about it? They lost my confidence in keeping their place clean. It was a bummer. I will not return. read more

The service was great and the food was decent. The problem was the menu pictures show more options and they've paired down the menu considerably. There is no tofu option for breakfast so I was only able to get oatmeal which was good but not what I wanted. It's not on them since the pictures here didn't show the updated menu, so it's not on them. Just the options being so small, a single page, kinda sucks. read more

Food was amazing last night. The hotel and restaurant have new owners the staff said. Restaurant has a new executive chef and you can see changes are being made. This Shasta County staple is amazing again! So excited to have a delicious option for food. The property is super scenic too. We love to walk to around the pond and back to the river after our meals. So glad this place is improving. We used to love coming here. We'l definitely be back more often! read more
