The Big Kahuna
Our one-pound burger for serious eaters, made with fresh premium beef and served with 1000 Island on a white or wheat bun.
The Big Kahuna is not a dare, but it eats like one. A full pound of fresh premium beef, cooked to order and dressed with 1000 Island on your choice of bun. It is the biggest burger in the house and the one that gets photographed on the way to the table.
Bring an appetite or bring a friend; either strategy works. It is a favorite for post-game hunger, celebration meals, and anyone determined to skip dinner later. Served with your choice of side at California Grill & Bar in Whittier, available daily for dine in and takeout for those brave enough to finish it at home.

Patty Melt Sandwich
Beef patty covered with sauteed onions and melted American cheese on grilled rye bread.
The Patty Melt is diner royalty, and ours respects the crown. A juicy beef patty gets smothered in sweet sauteed onions and melted American cheese, then grilled between slices of rye until the bread crisps and everything fuses together the way a patty melt should.
It is the sandwich-burger hybrid that has anchored American lunch counters for generations, and it has been satisfying Whittier appetites at our counter since the 90s. Pair it with fries and a chocolate milkshake for the full retro experience. Served daily at California Grill & Bar for dine in, pickup, and delivery.

Mushroom Burger
Sauteed mushrooms, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and onions on a white or wheat bun with 1000 Island spread.
The Mushroom Burger is for people who know that mushrooms and Swiss were made for each other. A generous pile of sauteed mushrooms melts into the Swiss over a juicy patty, with fresh lettuce, tomato, and onion keeping things balanced and the 1000 Island tying it together.
It is earthy, savory, and a longtime favorite among our burger regulars at California Grill & Bar in Whittier. Choose your bun, pick a side, and settle in. Available daily for dine in, pickup, and delivery, and a strong pairing with a draft beer at the bar.

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.

Bacon San Franciscan Burger
Swiss cheese, bacon, sauteed mushrooms, onions, and garlic rosemary aioli, served on grilled garlic cheese sourdough bread.
The San Franciscan is the burger that put California Grill on the map back in 1996, and this is the version with crispy bacon stacked on top. Instead of a regular bun, the juicy patty is pressed between slices of grilled garlic cheese sourdough, so every edge is buttery, cheesy, and crisp.
Sauteed mushrooms and onions melt into the Swiss, and our garlic rosemary aioli pulls it all together. It is messy in the best way and has been converting first-time guests into regulars in Whittier for almost thirty years. Served with your choice of side, available daily for dine in, pickup, and delivery at California Grill & Bar. Come hungry, and bring napkins.
