Woodside Grill in Anderson, CA, is a full-service American restaurant and bar that balances a cozy, approachable vibe with a menu that leans on both classic and creatively elevated comfort food. Located on Riverside Place, its intimate setting makes it a solid choice for couples celebrating special occasions, families looking for a casual dinner, or anyone who enjoys a well-crafted cocktail alongside thoughtfully prepared dishes.

Inside, the atmosphere is quietly inviting rather than flashy—think warm lighting, friendly faces, and a sense that the staff genuinely want to help you find exactly what you’re in the mood for. For early diners or those dropping in before peak hours, the space doesn’t feel rushed or crowded, making it easy to settle in with a drink or start the meal unhurriedly.

The menu offers a diverse range of options that reflect a mix of traditional American favorites and inventive twists, like the whiskey beef sliders served on soft brioche buns, sweet Thai chicken nachos, and the familiar comfort of a Denver omelet for brunch or breakfast times. Seafood lovers will appreciate dishes like beer-battered fish tacos or panfried halibut topped with pineapple salsa, demonstrating some thoughtful balancing of flavors. Vegetarians will find fewer set options but can expect accommodating service, with servers willing to coordinate with the kitchen for custom dishes.

Woodside Grill’s bar program stands out with house cocktails featuring carefully chosen spirits and fresh ingredients. Whether it’s a Hendrick’s gin-based creation with rosemary syrup or a classic old fashioned with orange bitters, these drinks complement the meal without veering into overly trendy territory. Craft beer selections also cater to those who prefer a laid-back sip.

This place works well for a quietly festive evening, a late lunch when you want attentive service that doesn’t rush you, or a weekend breakfast featuring items like pancake stacks or avocado toast with poached eggs. Visitors who appreciate friendly, responsive staff will feel particularly at home here, as the team frequently adapts to dietary preferences and special requests without fuss.

While prices tend to be on the higher side compared to basic grills, most guests find enough quality and service consistency to justify the occasional splurge. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone or just craving a well-cooked meal with the right atmosphere for conversation and comfort, Woodside Grill offers a grounded, local dining experience that feels both familiar and a bit special.

The hubby and I were celebrating our 32nd Wedding Anniversary. I’ve been wanting to try this restaurant since moving up North to the area 2 years ago. So glad we finally made a reservation and they didn’t disappoint. The ambiance is quaint and cosy. It’s a bar & grill, we arrived a little earlier than our reservation time. The hostess made accommodations and got us seated. The staff were courteous, friendly and professional. The food was delicious and well prepared with attention to detail. A return trip is definitely in my future. P.S. I have gone back twice for lunch.

We went for a late lunch when the restaurant was not too crowded. We were able to have a cocktail leisurely , a delicious lunch (they cooked my burger exactly the way I wanted) and very good service. I haven’t been there for dinner, but I felt that their accommodations for lunch were worth going back for. They are a little high price.

Absolutely stunning service. They didn't have many vegetarian options but the waiter brought the chef to our table who offered to customize my pasta. The vegetarian burger with their housemade quinoa patty was incredible too. Highly recommend this place.

Awesome Veggie burger with Quinoa Patty. Excellent service, the chef also customized the pasta for us to make it vegetarian.

I thought we would get a below average meal based on the fact that the place was empty at 8:00 am. Boy, what a pleasant surprise. Delightful service and great food (and plenty of it). The pancakes were thick and well made. However, I would have preferred a lighter version. The omlet and hash browns were almost perfect.

Amazing place! Came here 2 days in a row for dinner and breakfast one day. First, the service is impeccable! Everyone is very friendly and attentive to your needs. The first night I had the Hot honey chicken and it was incredible! The next day we came for breakfast. Both my boyfriend and I had the California omelette. I enjoyed mine but he wasn’t so fond of the eggs. Definitely needs seasoning if your from the south! Our last night here I had the NY steak and it was like butter! Melts in your mouth and so smooth. Highly recommend! You will not be disappointed if looking for a romantic spot and the ambiance was great!
