Walking into a new restaurant with a big menu can be overwhelming, so let us make it easy. These are the dishes our regulars order without looking and the ones our servers point to when someone asks what to get.
Chef's Favorite Pasta. Blackened chicken over bowtie pasta in a light tomato cream sauce with fresh basil and parmesan. It has been the signature for years and it is the single most recommended plate in the house.
The San Francisco Burger. The dish that put us on the map back in 1996. A juicy patty pressed between grilled garlic cheese sourdough instead of a bun, with Swiss, sauteed mushrooms, onions, and garlic rosemary aioli. Get it with bacon if you are doing it right.
Stuffed Chicken. Chicken breast rolled around spinach, feta, dill, and scallions with a lemon dill sauce. A little of our Greek heritage on a plate, and one of the most reordered dinners we serve.
California Sampler. If you came with a group, start here: wings, potato skins, fried zucchini, bruschetta, and mozzarella sticks on one platter. It ends the appetizer debate immediately.
Breakfast, any time before 2 in the afternoon feels wrong to skip. The California Omelette with spinach, feta, and tomato is the morning favorite, and we open at 8am daily so there is no excuse.
Save room. The Classic Creme Brulee and the Flourless Chocolate Cake close the show. Split one, or do not; we will not judge.
Everything above is available for dine in, pickup, or delivery. Browse the full menu at californiagrill.com or come claim a booth at 6751 Painter Ave in Whittier. First visit or five hundredth, welcome home.
