Some restaurants earn their reputation through marketing. Others earn it through decades of consistently excellent food. Northridge Restaurant is the second kind. It has been voted the best steak in Nevada County for over 20 consecutive years. That kind of streak does not happen by accident.
Located on Highway 49 just outside Nevada City, Northridge is a roadhouse style steakhouse that takes its craft very seriously. If you love a great steak, this is a destination.
Northridge ages its own choice Angus New York steaks on the premises. They are cut fresh daily and cooked on the grill. The result is a steak that is tender, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Ribeyes are available on Friday and Saturday.
The quality of the meat is the foundation of everything here. You can taste the difference that proper aging and careful preparation make. These are not steaks from a box. They are steaks from a kitchen that respects its craft.
Portions are generous. Sides are classic. The focus is on doing the essentials right rather than chasing trends. That old school approach is a big part of what makes Northridge so beloved.
Northridge has a roadhouse feel. It is casual and unpretentious. The patio garden is a nice spot for a pre dinner cocktail. The dining room is comfortable and relaxed. You come here for the food, not the Instagram photo.
The restaurant has been around since 1969. That is over 55 years of serving the community. The history shows in the confidence of the service and the loyalty of the regulars.

The full bar opens at 1 PM. Dinner service starts at 5 PM. That early bar opening is a nice touch. You can start your evening with a cocktail in the garden and work your way into dinner.
