Wilda's Grill

Justin really does run that place like a pro, and you’re not wrong at all—the medium-rare steak bowl is on another level. The way they cook the steak keeps it tender and flavorful instead of drying it out like most fast-casual bowls. Total sleeper pick compared to the chicken. And yeah, that pink sauce is criminally underrated. Calling it “pink sauce” doesn’t do it justice—it’s basically a garlicky, creamy magic sauce, and extra is mandatory. Once you know, you know.

The woman at the counter was inviting and communicative. She was always buzzing around doing something when she wasn't helping customers. She is with her weight in gold. We ordered the Wilda and House dogs with a side of onion rings. The Wilda was good, but the House was better. The sauerkraut maybe didn't go well with the dog, while the simplicity of the House dog just sang with the Wilda's Mustard. We did sub out chopped onions in favor of grilled onions on the house dog. The onion rings were terrific with the crunch of the batter and the light flavor that highlighted the onion. The garlic aoli was good, if a little underwhelming on flavor and tasted like plain mayo. The atmosphere was ok, but we weren't big on the artwork. The music selection was good, but a little on the noisy side. The place was clean in large just to the buzzing woman at the counter.

I work across the hall from Wilda’s in the work comp office. The staff here is so amazing! You can walk in and have a sad or mad look on your face and the lovely people who greet you when you walk in turn frowns upside down so fast! The food is amazing, I recommend the chicken Buddha bowl add bacon with extra sauce on the side (ask for it in a larger to-go box and it fits perfectly in your desk drawer to take bites as you can) they also have $3 pints all day on Fridays, I have to wait until 5pm to have one, but you don’t! If you’re in Redding and seasonal depression is hitting you, walk in to Wilda’s Grill and feel how they welcome you and want to feed you! Bathrooms are available for paying customers and the key comes on the best back scratcher you could get on a lunch break. Don’t sleep on this place, if they ever extended their hours into the later evenings with pie and warm cider, and maybe some light comedy or paint and sips…. Anywho, if you’re after authentic “good and good for you” food, Wilda’s

Was driving through Reading. Redding has no idea they have a gem of a food spot. Flavor wise and fusion is simply phenomenal. Highly recommend the Buddha bowl with your choice of protein and half falafel. Portion is generous. Loveddd.

I got the house dog, and it was really good. The artwork really adds well to the overall atmosphere!

I love this place. So do my kids. What you get for the price is unmatched, I think. Heaps of healthy, tasty, filling food. That's good for you. One Buddha bowl feeds two kids and costs less than another local healthy food place charges for a wrap. Lovely staff. Clean, healthy food. Thank you for what you provide, Wildas!

This is all I want when I visit Redding. It never disappoints; the food is always consistent, and the staff are all so welcoming. The Buddha bowls are a must-try with a side of falafel.
