"Welcome to Lefty's Grill in historic Nevada City, California.
The town of Nevada City was established during the gold rush in 1849. You do not have to look hard to imagine what it was like back then. In 1876 Citizen's Bank was founded and operated right here at this location well into the early 20th century. Through the years a variety of businesses have called this spot home. It first became a restaurant in 1978. Thirty years later Lefty's Grill opened its doors. We thank you for visiting.


John Cammack & Chris Duncan, the two Leftys.

Lefty's Grill is a casual dining restaurant located in the heart of Nevada City's historic district. The restaurant is owned and operated by two Left-Handed Chefs, both are the area's top talent. Lefty's Grill hand prepares all dishes from scratch, with specialty dishes, unique sandwiches and much more!

The restaurant is located in the historic Citizens Bank building on Broad Street, the "main" street of Nevada City. The building has a great history and ambiance, dating back to the gold rush era. The restaurant's rear dining room was once an assay office. Lore has it that there is gold hidden somewhere in the brick walls, and that there is a resident ghost!

In 2008, Lefty's Grill opened for business with the goal of providing fantastic local food, great prices, and a casual dining experience. The Left Handed Owners have since unveiled a tantilizing menu and redecorated the dining rooms. Visit soon to enjoy your own unique taste of Lefty's Grill.
