A stacked basket of thick-cut onion rings, fried golden and crispy, served with ranch for dipping.

One of our Google reviews says it best: best onion rings they have had in years. These are the real deal, thick-cut rings with a crunchy golden coating that stays crisp to the last one, stacked high in a basket built for sharing, though sharing is optional.

They are the starter that hits the table first at California Grill & Bar in Whittier, a natural sidekick to burgers, wings, and cold beer at the bar. Order a basket for the table on game night, add one to your takeout order, or make them your excuse to linger a little longer on the patio. Served daily from open to close, and yes, they are as good as the reviews say.
