Do you take reservations?

Yes. Book online any time, or call (562) 907-7017. Walk-ins are always welcome. For parties of 8 or more, please book ahead so we can seat you together.

Very. We have a kids menu with 10 dishes, high chairs and booster seats, and crayons at the table.

Can I bring my dog?

Well-behaved dogs are welcome on the patio, and we have a CG Doggie Menu so your pup eats too.

Food and drink

Do you serve breakfast all day?

Yes. Pancakes at 4pm are never a problem. Breakfast is on the menu from open to close, every day.

What are you known for?

Breakfast, the Chef's Favorite Pasta, Stuffed Chicken, prime steaks, our pizzas and the San Franciscan burger. Regulars will tell you the bread basket is the real reason they come back.

Do you have gluten-free or vegetarian options?

Yes to both. Most salads, omelets and several pastas can be made gluten-free or vegetarian. Tell your server and the kitchen will walk you through it.

How do you handle allergies?

Tell us before you order. Our kitchen is not allergen-free, but we cook to order and can adjust most dishes. Call (562) 907-7017 if you want to check a dish before you come in.

Is there a full bar? When is happy hour?

Full bar with draft beer, wine, cocktails and margaritas. Happy hour is 2pm to 6pm, Sunday through Thursday, at the bar and on the patio.

What's on this week?

Trivia Tycoon on Wednesdays and Bingo on Thursdays starting at 5pm, both free to play with any food or drink. Plus UFC fight nights, Loteria, live music, and every Dodgers and NFL game on the screens. See the events page for dates.

Ordering

Can I order online for pickup or delivery?

Yes. Order at californiagrill.com, pick pickup or delivery, and most pickup orders are ready in about 20 minutes.

Are you on DoorDash?

Yes, but ordering direct from our site is cheaper for you and better for us. Same menu, same kitchen.

Do you sell gift cards?

Yes, digital and physical. Buy online or at the host stand.

Is there a rewards or birthday club?

Two ways to get free food. California Grill Rewards is free to join: 1 point per dollar spent online, 100 points is $10 in food, no expiration. And the CG Fam Club: sign up on our site for a welcome treat and a free entree with purchase on your birthday.

Catering and events

Do you cater? What is the minimum?

Yes, from office lunches to weddings, 10 to 300+ guests. $150 minimum for delivery, no minimum for pickup. Boxed lunches start at $9.95 per person.

How much notice do you need for catering?

4 hours for most delivery orders. Large events and full-service staffing need 48 hours. Short-notice orders are often possible, so call and ask.

Where do you deliver catering?

Whittier, La Habra, La Mirada, Pico Rivera, Santa Fe Springs, Hacienda Heights and north Orange County. Farther out is usually fine with notice.

Can you host a private party or fundraiser?

Yes. We host birthdays, team dinners and fundraiser nights where a share of sales goes to your school or group. Call (562) 907-7017 and ask for the events team.

Are you family-owned?
