CG Pot Roast
Slow-cooked sliced tri-tip smothered in mushroom gravy, served with two sides and garlic bread.
Pot roast is the definition of comfort food, and ours earns the name. Tri-tip is cooked low and slow until it slices tender, then covered in a rich mushroom gravy that begs to be soaked up with the warm garlic bread that comes on the side.
Choose two sides to finish the plate; mashed potatoes and fresh vegetables are the classic pairing for a reason. It is the dinner our guests order when the weather turns, when the week ran long, or when they just want something that tastes like Sunday at home. A longtime comfort staple at California Grill & Bar in Whittier, available daily for dine in, pickup, and delivery.

CG Smash Burger Combo
Smash patty, American cheese, pickles, ketchup, and caramelized onions, served with seasoned fries.
The Smash Burger Combo is proof that the classics work. The patty gets pressed hard on a hot griddle so the edges go lacy and crisp while the middle stays juicy, then it is stacked with melty American cheese, caramelized onions, pickles, and ketchup. Simple, savory, exactly right.
The combo comes with a pile of seasoned fries, making it the easiest lunch decision in Whittier. It is a favorite with the quick-lunch crowd and anyone who believes a burger does not need twelve toppings to be great. Order it for dine in at California Grill & Bar or grab the combo to go; it travels fast and disappears faster.

Chef's Favorite Pasta
Blackened chicken breast, bowtie pasta, garlic, fresh basil, and parmesan cheese in a light tomato cream sauce.
This is the dish our regulars order without opening the menu, and the one first-timers get pointed to when they ask what to try. The chicken is seasoned with our blackening spice blend and seared hot, then laid over bowtie pasta tossed in a tomato cream sauce that stays light enough to finish every bite. Fresh basil and shaved parmesan bring it home.
It has been a California Grill signature for years at our Whittier restaurant, and it travels well too, so it is a favorite for takeout and one of the most requested trays on our catering menu. Pair it with a Caesar salad and garlic cheese Italian bread and dinner is handled. Available for dine in, pickup, and delivery daily.

Chicken Marsala
Sauteed chicken breast, mushrooms, and basil in a creamy Marsala wine sauce, served with two sides and garlic bread.
This is the plated version of one of our most beloved recipes. Chicken breast is sauteed golden, then simmered in a Marsala wine cream sauce loaded with mushrooms and finished with fresh basil. The wine cooks down sweet and savory, the mushrooms soak up everything, and the sauce ends up good enough to eat with a spoon.
Pick two sides to build your dinner and mop up the Marsala with the garlic bread. If you prefer it over noodles, our Chicken Marsala Pasta has you covered. Either way, it is old-school comfort done right at California Grill & Bar in Whittier, served daily for dine in, pickup, and delivery.

The Marsala sauce is made in our kitchen, cooked down until the wine turns sweet and savory and the mushrooms soak up all that flavor. Add a house salad to start and you have one of the most satisfying dinners at California Grill & Bar in Whittier.

Classic Creme Brulee
Silky vanilla custard under a thin, crackly layer of torched caramelized sugar.
The Classic Creme Brulee is the most satisfying crack on our menu. We chill a rich vanilla custard until it is smooth and silky, then caramelize the sugar on top so it shatters like glass the moment your spoon breaks through. That contrast, cool creamy custard against warm crisp sugar, is why this dessert never goes out of style.
It is the elegant way to end a Prime Steak or Surf & Turf dinner, and a favorite for birthdays and celebrations at California Grill & Bar in Whittier. Save room, or split one for the table and fight politely over the last spoonful. Served daily, and it pairs beautifully with an espresso or cappuccino to close out the night.

Classic Pastrami Sandwich
All natural thinly sliced lean pastrami on a French roll or grilled garlic cheese sourdough, with yellow mustard and pickles.
A proper pastrami sandwich needs nothing fancy, just good pastrami and plenty of it. Ours is all natural, sliced thin, and piled generously, with yellow mustard and pickles doing exactly what they have always done. Choose the French roll for the classic deli experience or the garlic cheese sourdough for the California Grill twist.
It is the sandwich for deli loyalists and anyone who judges a kitchen by its pastrami. Fair warning: we take that judgment seriously. Served with your choice of side at California Grill & Bar in Whittier, available daily for dine in, pickup, and delivery.

Colossal Burger
All natural thinly sliced lean pastrami stacked on top of our fresh premium patty, with lettuce, tomatoes, grilled onions, pickles, 1000 Island, and mustard.
The Colossal is the burger and the pastrami sandwich refusing to choose. A fresh premium beef patty gets buried under a pile of lean deli pastrami, then dressed with grilled onions, lettuce, tomato, pickles, 1000 Island, and mustard. It is big, it is bold, and it earns its name.
This is the order for serious appetites and anyone who thinks regular burgers play it too safe. Pair it with onion rings and a cold beer and you are living right. A cult favorite at California Grill & Bar in Whittier, available daily for dine in, pickup, and delivery.
