    Garli garlic Fettucini with chicken
    Sally N.

    I haven't been here in a while. The food was not very tasty. Actually I would consider it tasteless. I ordered the Garlic chicken pasta. CPK does not put very much chicken. I would think as large as these restaurants are, chain wide they could put more chicken in it. I think the only reason I come is because of. The bar server. He is friendly and attentive. I guess I won't be coming here for a while.

    The plentiful bounty of fresh goodness.

    I'm asking myself why don't I come here more often?! Today was madness and I was starving. I dropped in and ordered the California Chicken Salad. As always the service is just extraordinary! Smiling happy faces. Ice cold water station set up while you wait. My order literally took only 4-5 minutes and I was out the door. The salad veggies are fresh. Chicken is plentiful and tasty. It's such a mix of goodness. I ate every bite and feel amazing eating so healthy. AND inexpensive.

    My favorite is there, cabbage salad, their fruit salad, and their salads! And I love absolutely love the pink clear bag always makes your day lighten up with the colorful theme. And friendly caring staff!

    I remember the pre-covid days where you can actually dine inside California Chicken Cafe. Now, a majority of their locations just serve food to go and this location is no exception. I haven't visited this location in awhile and I noticed that they remodeled the inside to have an area where you can place a walk-in order and wait for your order. Of course, you can still place an drive up order via the app. Pickup is in front of the restaurant on Ventura Blvd. You have to wait in the car line to pick up your order.

    One wrap (not even the one I ordered) when the receipt has 2 items, one of which is a salad.
    Jamie A.

    Ordered a wrap and salad via UberEats. CCC taped my order receipt to someone else's order and UberEats delivered it to me. This isn't the first time this CCC has made an error (or that an UberEats driver didn't bother to check the order). Would recommend ordering from a different location.

    The staff person I first encountered, went out of her way to get me a table. She brought in a table…read moreand chairs from outside for us. She was friendly, helpful, and very accomodating. When I went up to order a drink, there was a staff member that was just starting her shift-Sunday 7/20/26 around 1200 noon. She looked around the bar, had someone walk in front of me and served them immediately. She never noticed the line behind me waiting to order (about 5 customers). she never smiled, very indifferent and gave a very negative vibe. We will not be back again. I don't tolerate staff like that. She cancelled out the wonderful staff person that helped us first. She was top notch.

    This was my first time at Tipsy Cow, and I have mixed emotions. The atmosphere is casual and…read morefestive, with TV's playing sports and a varied crowd that includes daters, older couples, families and singles making the most of their weekend. There's music that's lively without being overbearing, and the staff is uniformly friendly. But... You have to order at the bar and, though they have runners to bring your food, you do have to hunt them down for anything after the delivery (extra ketchup, etc). While this isn't my favorite system at my age, to be fair, whatever the owners are saving on staff is reflected in the prices, which are absolutely below most places in the area for food that is good-quality and drinks that are generously poured. So yes, my wife's Espresso Martini was served in a deep-bellied Belgium beer glass, and my whiskey neat was a hefty pour. Yay!! For food, I ordered the Smash Burger, which is served with melted American, grilled onions and the house version of Russian dressing (as well as pickles, which I deleted). The burgers had a nice, smashed crust while remaining juicy, the cheese was properly melted, and the grilled onions had a terrific caramelized sweetness, while the house sauce was very well-balanced: ketchupy and creamy without being too mayonnaise-heavy. A very good smasher. My wife ordered the Big Texan Burger because she wanted cheddar and frizzled onions and BBQ sauce, though she deleted the bacon and pork belly that are normally included. This, too, was a very good burger: cooked to a proper and pleasing medium-rare and well-seasoned, with a good, fresh flavor to the beef. The onion rings were less successful, which are of the beer batter type, but seemed to be a commercial, frozen product. The coating was browned but not crisp, and the flavor was relatively nondescript. We didn't really eat them, and wouldn't order them again. And so, to me, The Tipsy Cow is a bit of a mixed bag: reasonably priced decent food and reasonably priced, generously-poured drinks -- but in a mostly self-serve environment that incrementally loses its appeal in relation to your age and your dining circumstances. Certainly worth a try, but you've gotta be in the right mood.

We were among the very few people in the restaurant, but that didn't matter, because the wonderful service made us feel right at home. We had lucked out with street parking right out front (my dad has AMAZING parking karma--you really should bring him along anytime you need to park), and I wasn't even sure the restaurant was open when we walked up, mainly because of the afternoon glare in the windows. The decor is very interesting. Part of it screams arthouse 1993, but it also feels classic and modern, if not contemporary. Mostly, it feels like you're inside the home of someone who has very specific but varied tastes in art and interior decoration. The name Stanley always reminds me of Mr. Roper from Three's Company, and that combined with the story my dad was regaling us with about a job he once had nearby in Sherman Oaks had me thinking about old times.

They serve omelettes, sandwiches, salads, chicken wings, pastas, grilled salmon and PERFECT individual pizzas (that are still large enough to share).

The garden atmosphere is lovely. You dine under a trellis of fairy lights and bougainvillea. And on certain evenings and lunch times, they have wonderful musicians provide soft background music. They also have an interior space which is nice as well (and air conditioned), but the real charm is the garden, where my maltipoo, Bella, is always spoiled (she especially loves the fries).

    I wish I had read my last review from 9 yrs ago before revisiting this place today…read more Let me tell you about the good things first... this won't take long. Kelley, our server, was a sweetheart. And the glass of wine was a nice pour and a decent wine. I like that they let you in for something to drink before officially opening for the day. Cue record scratch... now about that food. No, we did not order the wrong thing and no, IMO, they were not just having a bad day. Look at these Huevos Rancheros with "house hash, tostadas and 3 eggs"... those are chips (I think from a bag of tortilla chips) so not really a tostada, no way there were three eggs in that thing (from what I could see)... not sure what the "house hash" is but nothing I could identify on the plate. I know a lot of people might leave a restaurant and say "I could have made that at home" but there is no way I would make something this crappy at home. LOOK at this Avocado Toast with "avocado spread"... that is some thin smear of something green but when you are calling something "Avocado Toast" there should be a substantial amount of the hero ingredient (and maybe not call it "avocado spread" on your menu description. To me, that says, "Look we don't want to call this a "rustic mash of avocado" or "Hass smash" or "hand-crushed ripe avocado" because we know you are actually going to SEE it in front of you in about 15 minutes and "avocado spread" won't lead to a major disappointment." But it did. And this slab of dry plywood that they were calling toast. I turned to my wife and in my best Sebastian Manascalco said, "Why would you do that??" This place mostly failed on food. The food at the other tables looked equally pathetic. Gotta say... all of the cooked egg components of each dish were decent but the rest of the items were like WTF? Ambiance? It's OK... I mean it was a bar with a ton of TVs going. Semi-nice vibe for a sports bar... lots of room. Just can't get over the food. We ate about half of our sodium bombs and left. But parts of the eggs were lovely... as was Kelley.
