Calirornia Grill Reviews

Nice atmosphere , wait staff is friendly, my favorite dish is the chef's special with extra garlic. They have a diverse menu for everyone.

Stopped at this restaurant and couldn't be happier with the food and the staff. Itsey a grill and it offerred the regular faire but all done with a touch of home. Very pleased with my meal.

Gross. Worst pastrami ever does not look or taste like it.

Food and service is always excellent - Steak Ceaser is a great steak sandwich !

Huge selection of good eats!! Potato skins are amazing!! Beer and wine available. Family friendly.
What excellent service!!!!
Great place.

Very delicious food and cozy vibes. Waiters are attentive and have a good small talk with visitors. Recommend!!!:)

California grill is so great..the staff and food are great ..one of my all time favorites...

I ate the Big Kahuna Burger with Sweet Potato Fries and it was delicious. Atmosphere was pleasant and the service was quick and ready to please and serve. I give it a thumbs up

I order there once a week to be delivered to my shop bella studio4 service is great...

I have been coming here since it opened. The staff and owner are very friendly but the food the last few times has not been up to norm. Prices are on the high end for what you get. Usually at least a 20 min wait due to small dining area.

Always great food, service and time spent with my best friend

Has been a local favorite for us for over 20 years! Keeps getting better and better!

Light dinner after seein.the movie Snowden at Whittier Village theatres.Good Movie. I don't think his.story is over yet.

The only thing I like is their bacon Frisco burger.

Great place to eat salmon salad was is great and my good friend scott mcready will be missed Rip Scott you were a good dude man

Food and service we're good. I would eat there again. However, parking is a nightmare!

Great food desert and drinks. Excellent service and great atmosphere. They have a large selection on their menu. Right across the street from Whittier College and in the Old Town Whittier area. You should try it.

I love the fish tacos and my boyfriend loves the beef Depp. Gray food and customer service

Great Whittier upscale restaurant. Was once a Bob's Big Boy restaurant. Food choices are excellent, love the salads.

Great place, large servings and good food. Very accommodating of large groups. Diverse menu.

Beatifull place ,great food, it's the best restaurant in the town

Booths to tight better would be table. food good drinks well they were in the middle of changing things.

Food was not very good. Out of a table of 6 adults, only 3 enjoyed their food.

Always a good time. Nice restaurant with comfortable tables and chairs. Good food.

always a good place to go.. good food, great service, good portions. inside and outside seating too... their tortilla soup is very good!

It was a fine lunch. Great place to meet a friend cuz it was halfway between our homes. Lots of food choices health or fried

On more than one occasion I phoned in an order for pick-up. When I arrived My order had not been prepared..I got back in my car and drove away...

Great breakfast. Recommend the steak and eggs or the California grill special

enjoyed it very much with my family and we will go back.

They are clueless (only an older gentlman and young girl) when it comes to postmates. This is just inregards to postmates. They sometimes dont put the order in until you arrive. The old gentlman with glasses isnt very friendly.

I had fish and chips. The batter was perfect but the cod was not firm. The fries were good; the coleslaw was average. Malt vinegar wasn't offered. Tartar sauce and garlic bread came with the dish.

Due to rush hours the food quantity and quality went average.

Great comfort food SoCal style. Friendly staff snappy service.

Delicious battered fish and shrimp tacos. I frequently come on by , I've had other dishes as well. Inexpensive and delicious. They also have wine and beer to enjoy

Been going therebfornyears. Good food, good service

Never ate here but I pick up a lot of food from there with Door Dash.

Cute little cafe, good quality food and ample seating with not much wait. Extensive menu with salads, soups, and american , french and italian entrees. A nice local place to go to dine in. Restaurant is clean and I like that they help support local artists by displaying art on their walls.

Came in at lunch time, maybe that was the issue, anyway, never got to eat, had to walk out when after 15 minutes, no one came to my table. What can I say, not very good service, at least not that day.

Horrible, horrible, HORRIBLE management and customer service! We have given this restaurant to much business and too many chances over the years and they treat us like crud!

Tonight we decided to order two Fettuccini Alfredo's and a order of Chicken Fingers. The order got here and the chicken was fine but the pasta was gummy and the sauce was completely bland. We called and spoke to Francisco (the manager) to have the pasta replaced and they reluctantly sent over two more bowls of pasta. I will give them credit they did gave us a free slice of cheesecake when we asked what they could do for the inconvenience... (Probably cost them 2.00, but whatever).

When the delivery guy arrived he told us he had instructions to take back the bad plates of pasta. Weird and kind of disgusting request but gladly obliged since it was horrendous tasting anyway. They are lucky we had not thrown them away, Francisco failed to tell us on the phone he would want them back. This made me feel like they didn't trust us. Almost holding our new plates hostage unless we produced the tainted food.

Moving on we get the next two pasta bowls. One tasted like it was supposed to and the other one was gummy pasta again. I mean so bad that I spit the pasta back into the bowl!

So here we go calling back to let them know. This time we call Francisco and ask him to replace it. At this point it's been over a hour and although my husband has dinner, I do not. So my husband asks Francisco if he can replace my order AGAIN and asks if we can have another piece of cheesecake for the hassle. Francisco proceeds to tell my husband he "can't be wasting all this food" and that he has "already GIVEN us four pasta meals" and having to send a fifth. He acted like we had kept all that food and that he was doing us a favor. Sir come on your are a restaurant it is YOUR job to cook it right, it is not my fault your food tasted horrible! Again we let him know we were more than willing to send back the wretched pasta.

Francisco says he has to call Nick (who is apparently the general manager) for approval on a piece of cheesecake (rolls eyes). What kind of manager doesn't have this authorization? I am not asking for a WHOLE cheesecake. He actually said "we would be losing $7.00" if I authorized this free item. Ok they charge $7.00 but I am absolutely sure they don't pay that much for it. If they do I will gladly direct them to the next Costco (whose cheesecake is just as good) but much less expensive. In fact His whole excuse makes no sense because he said he couldn't give us a cheesecake today, but he could give us one on our next order??? Ok I don't know about you but when someone tells me something like this it will make me NEVER want to order from there again.

Francisco calls Nick, and you ask yourself what would a good manager do? Make the customer happy right? We have already made their night bad enough. NOPE, Nick says we are no longer allowed delivery!! Insult to injury, apparently if we want to eat at their restaurant we have to be there to inspect our food before we leave the premises.

No thanks Nick, I can see when my patronage is not wanted. I can take my business to any of the other local businesses around that appreciate me. Like, "Off the Hook" where they have the best fried shrimp tacos, "The Rusty Monk" which would put many burgers to shame or La Casa Del Cocinero come on these people have been in the papers and all over the internet for their spectacular food for a reason!

California Grill has three and a half stars for a reason, inconsistency with food and bad management! This is not our first experience with Francisco. I have worked in the customer service field my entire career and let me do you a favor based on my decades of being a people pleaser. My one recommendation is DO NOT visit California Grill.

Never a dish I did not enjoy.!! My fail safe place.

Worst experience, me end my wife started going for breakfast every Sunday but ones her food had dirt with hair on her omelette end we told the manager and waitress, tha manager apologizes but tha waitress ignores and I give her $100 bill for the check, we was waiting for $54 dollars change and noting, tha waitress told me she already gave me the chance but I wasn't. She jus gave me $50 back lasted then my change, I didn't want to have a hard time so I disagree en lef, never we are going to be back Worse time end experience

California grill has the best breakfast lunch and dinner you can't go wrong and also their service.

Service was slow prices are high everything is A La Cart

Pasta. Its just amazing.. The patio is great.. Price is no bad

They have great people that work here, and excellent food!

It's ok. Staff was friendly but forgetful. Food was good.

Nice afmophere great food and services highly recommend

Food was good... service was great... hash browns too crispy... coffee was good...blah blah come try it

Usually a good place to eat. But can be a hit-or-miss. Just depends on your luck.....

Just went there after years and I loved the Buffalo Ranch flatbread that I tried. It was so good. Love the whole environment too. So spacious, love the light that comes in from all the windows. The wooden floors and the wooden tables give it a nice touch too. I'll totally be back soon.

I actually enjoy their food and customer service, excellent area right next to where I live. The workers are always very welcoming. Will come back again.

Prices are more then far and inside is so beautiful best for date night

Service was good, atmosphere is quaint. Good was prepared well, but limited for my taste.

I adore this restaurant a lot. It has a different air. The kitcen is exeptionaly good. the service is efficient and the personel is professional. The pay is modest. truly recommend.

This place USED to be my favorite resturant! Its not the same ever since ownership change. Its overpriced food that isnt even good. They made so many changes to the original recipes that the food is bland and unrecognizable. The service used to be incredible and is now comparable to any other ok resturant out there. So sad, I miss the original owner.

Good food,varied menu,good for couples,families, friendly servers
