    Great food! Open concept dining - bright and airy feel. Limited space to wait for a table if on a waitlist. Service was great. Will definitely be back to try more - perfect lunch spot.

    My only must-do restaurant every time I am back in the Tampa area. Never disappoints whether ordering takeout out or dining in. We opted for carryout for Mother's Day as we anticipated the crowds for brunch and Mother's Day. Online ordering makes customization easy and pickup, even with the crowds was relatively easy. Everyone enjoyed their meals!

    If you're looking for healthier meals with options to modify... this is your place. Never do I feel bad for why I ordered after eating here. We eat here every month either through take-out or dine-in. It's not a large restaurant, but we've never had issues with getting a table in or outside. I recommend trying adding their popcorn chicken, chickpea bites and their lime Caesar salad with your order!

    Food was good, but the portions and prices weren't great. Definitely would've preferred to have a larger portion for what was paid. Location was cute and in a nice area, service was great!

    Bowl
    Candace S.

    I've gotten a few items from Cali before along with the restaurant chain and I have not been disappointed. I can't remember the name of the bowl I got this time but it contains steak, spaghetti, squash, noodles, beans, corn, avocado and turmeric rice. It was delicious! The only downside was that I felt like they were very skimpy on the steak and if I had known how little I would get, I would've tried to get a different option. The cookie was also bomb, but it is definitely overpriced for just one cookie. I ordered this through DoorDash, so I cannot comment on the service, although when I have gone in the past, it has been very friendly.

    LOVE me some Cali! They always hit the mark with the flavors Andi always leave impressed and satisfied. I recommend their Fresca's. All of them are super flavorful and delicious. Their pizzas are so good and all their bowls/salads hit the mark. I can truly say with confidence that there is nothing bad here. If you're in the area and looking for some good food, you definitely need to stop here.

    Discovered this place while looking for healthier options. It was fairly empty for a Monday afternoon, we were immediately seated upon entering. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. We ordered the Cali wrap , classic pizza and the dragon fruit lime drink and the hibiscus drink Both the drinks were good but maybe a little too watered down. My Cali wrap was DELICIOUS! Fresh, crispy and flavorful The pizza was always yummy, very light and buttery overall just yummy! All of this cost $43 I was pretty shocked and expected it to be much more. We were given 2 free cookies for it being our first time, I don't think they normally do that lol but grateful to taste them. Both the chocolate chip cookies were yummy and also fresh. Looked like the bowls were very popular from what I seen on other tables, I will definitely visit again soon.

    Visiting Winthrop Christmas market and craving a Cali pizza. We ordered lavender ginger Frescas and a margarita pizza with charred chicken. Been dining here since they opened a decade ago and it never disappoints. Services is always impeccable and food is delicious. I love the bright airy openness of this place and they have live music today. Alex was our server and she was an all star!

    I've gone for lunch twice and I've had great experiences with the food and the staff. The staff is always very friendly and you can tell they care. I order the Brazilian bowl with chicken and tumeric rice and the cucumber mint agua fresca. They were both super fresh and delicious. I will definitely be back for a Max-mosa for brunch!

    Planta Tacos

    Our friends and I ordered take out from Cali and had a really great experience all around. It started with the service. We were about to order online but had some questions about the vegan options. We spoke with the manager and he answered all our questions. Feeling confident about what to order, we placed the order online. After I placed the order, I realized that I didn't change the time of pickup and it defaulted to an asap pickup. So I gave them another call, spoke to the manager, and he let us change our pickup time. Our friends went to pick up the food so I couldn't tell you much about that experience but I was told that the atmosphere and decor is very coastal and relaxed. We ordered the Taco Family Pack which comes with 12 tacos, 4 cookies, chips, guac, and salsa. It's a legit deal for $62 and we get to pick 4 of their taco options. I had the Planta and even though it's the only vegan taco options, it's a very delicious option! It comes with chickpea-lentil fritters, guac, pico de gallo, vegan cheese, and vegan lime sour cream. I was pleasantly impressed. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/cali-brandon-riverview?select=TvSQLIiCm4kBwR-3-YMX4A Solid meal! I would gladly eat here again.

    Soo... Buff

    I discovered this spot during a recent road trip while searching for a healthy-ish place to stop for lunch, and we ended up loving Cali! It was the perfect place for a quick, yummy lunch and a nice clean place to feed the baby before getting back on the road. I got the Hot & Crunchy bowl (cucumber-jicama slaw, scallions, soy sauce, guacamole, tempura onion, sesame seeds, sambal aioli) with the suggested protein - seared ahi tuna and the coconut avocado rice as my base. Wow, this bowl was amazing and so flavorful. The ahi tuna was perfectly seared and the crispy tempura onions on top added a delicious crunch. My husband got the Soo... Buff bowl (roasted cauliflower, coconut buffalo sauce, celery, crumbled blue cheese, tempura onions, lime caesar, fresh herbs) with crispy chicken and coconut avocado rice as well. He really enjoyed the flavor combinations, especially the sauce paired with the blue cheese. We also got their cucumber mint agua fresca to drink and it was so refreshing --I drank two glasses. The service was friendly and super quick which we appreciated. I was happy to learn that they have 3 local locations in the Tampa Bay area, so we'll definitely be back!

    Absolutely delicious food and bowls! They have so many great clean and healthy options! Highly recommend the lean and clean bowl or the Asian salad! The service is great and fast!

    Alex F.

    They always do a really good job with the flavors and seasoning at this location. The restaurant is spacious and beautifully accented with live plants. The server was pleasant and knew the menu enough to make recommendations. Parking was pretty easy as the location shares a parking lot with multiple other restaurants. Food came out quickly as it wasn't busy. Bathroom was clean and maintained. They have indoor and outdoor seating options.

Please consider supporting this business expansion so that it remains available to us. This does not appear to be an experiment to see how it goes. All of the signs, including outdoor signs, have been updated or replaced to announce that the business is open for dinner. The dining room is too bright. I suggested to server, who passed my comment on, that they should figure out how to dim the lights or turn some of them off. Speaking of the server, she was very friendly, efficient and accommodating. Our server's name was Ava, and she is an immigrant of Greek and Albanian descent, who has been in the United States for 29 years. Ava happily brewed a fresh pot of decaf for us and offered drinks for us to take with us. We were given the regular menu and a dinner supplement. I have attached copies of the dinner supplement and you can see there are varied options--and you can also see how reasonably priced the options are. Portion sizes were great. Too much for us, anyway. I had the fried shrimp platter and the $13.95 price included the shrimp, french fries, sauteed green beans and a really nice dinner salad. Joanne had the chicken salad croissant sandwich. She really liked her sandwich. I liked my dinner but being candid, I would be surprised if the shrimp were breaded in house as opposed to prepared and frozen by the purveyor. I will try something different next time or will have the shrimp grilled. Portions were plentiful. Overall, we had a really enjoyable experience. Based on the food, the location and the prices, we are certainly happy to support Eggtown for dinner.

Bartender was wonderful and she poured drinks STRONG! You really can't beat their Irish breakfast deal - $15.99 and it includes either 2 Bloody Marys or drinks up to $10 in value. The breakfast was really good and filling. This is a plastic silverware kind of place and if you don't drink, you'll only find off brand soda to choose from.

My family members also hated their food. Staff waited until the last minute to refill things as it seemed like someone is opting to cut some sharp corners. Again, I felt bad for everyone working there. It seemed busy enough to turn a profit, yet there was something depressing about the vibe. I came here last year with my dad, and it wasn't like this, so it was disappointing. We were relieved to get out for under $100, but it was just nightmare fuel. Not worth it.
