Jack's Grill
Opened in 1938 and Redding's oldest surviving restaurant, with a menu that has barely changed for decades and a reputation for thick, charbroiled steaks.
Jack's Grill is on California Street in downtown Redding and has been in continuous operation since 1938. The local tourism bureau calls it the oldest restaurant still operating in the city. The menu is simple: several steak cuts (top sirloin, filet mignon, ribeye, and New York strip) served with a baked potato or fries and a blue cheese crumble salad, plus fried chicken and fried shrimp. No desserts are served. The décor is old-school, and the atmosphere is lively and noisy. Doors open around 4:00 PM, and after 5:00 PM waits of 30 minutes to an hour are common, so arriving early is advised. The average spend per person is about $50–70, more with drinks. The restaurant is within walking distance of downtown.
