    Rotisserie chicken leg
    Taylor H.

    I wasn't super hungry when I ordered so I got a bunch of sides and I thought the portions were good size. However, I cannot wait to try one of their salads. Excuse the pics, I was at work and starving so the aesthetic is not great. Chicken pasta salad (small) - they were not shy with the chicken and the pasta still tasted good the next day. It's cold, if you weren't sure. Rotisserie chicken - so good! Fell off the bone Seasonal fruit (mini) - Chinese cabbage salad (mini) - it was different, but good. I missed the "sweet" part in the description, but it was good. Now this was not as good day 2

    We stopped by for the Caesar Wrap and the Melrose Wrap, and both were absolutely delicious!!! Everything tasted fresh the portions were satisfying, and the flavors were spot on. A special thank you to Miguel for helping us choose -his recommendation was perfect and made our visit even better. We'll definitely be back to try more from the menu!

    5 stars because the food is always consistent and the staff is nice. Chances are you'll be able to find parking in the lot, and there's patio seats outside, so it's very casual and chill. My go to order is the Chinese chicken salad, and I love the sides and rotisserie selections too!!

    I had such a good experience here they come up to your car and give you your food. The service is amazing! Miguel helped me out today he was such a great vibe. I love their food freshest salads and wraps.

    Recently discovered. Super yummy and quick when ordering ahead. The chicken has so much flavor. It's decently priced and very filling. Love that staff meets you outside for a quick pick up.

    I heard the Caesar wrap was really good and had to try it. I ordered the Caesar wrap. It was so good. The chicken, lettuce and tomato were tossed in the Caesar salad dressing. I really liked the dressing. The pita chips gave the wrap a good crunch. I recommend getting a side of Caesar salad dressing to dip the wrap. Definitely will order this again. I also ordered the house lemonade. It was very refreshing.

    Half chicken and potatoes

    Well the customer service who's taking the order Sajad I think I spell his name wrong, but wow he really makes people feel so special and how big he smile. Ayesha don't even take the time to write a review, but he just really made me feel good! Wow love that guy! this my first time coming to this location wow just wow. Also they are so fast!

    I've been eating at California Chicken Cafe long before they shortened their name (Calif), and they only had one location. That's on Melrose in Hollywood. Glad to see the original location is still there. Also glad to see CCC has opened more locations. Never have I had a bad meal. I pretty much have stuck with the rotisserie chicken (all white meat) with different sides. Garden salad. Pasta salad. Mashed potatoes. Roasted potatoes. All delicious. Chicken is always fresh and moist. Portions are always plentiful, which I appreciate. I finally tried something different. The Chinese Chicken Salad. It's a big salad (see pictures) with a generous portion of chicken. Every part of the salad is fresh and flavorful. So good! I also recently got hooked on the Chicken Pasta Salad. I always get a larger size so I can snack on leftovers for a day or two. Again, generous with the chicken portion. Thank you for not skimping on that. The Beverly Grove location is set up where you order outside. It looks like most of the orders are for takeout or delivery. If you want to eat on-site there is outdoor dining only. Staff is friendly and accommodating for a busy establishment. Definitely give them a try. You won't be disappointed. It's so good!

    I am absolutely obsessed with the salads here - I literally get the California Chicken Salad with alfalfa sprouts on a weekly basis through a third party delivery orders so I'm sure the Staff knows my name by now! However in mid-April, I was in the area and decided to stop in IRL. Parking is easy with a lot in back and metered street-parking out front. Know that there is no indoor dining - the whole model post-2020 is based on a "to-go" basis where you give your order to the host and pay on the spot then wait for your order. There are a couple of tables outside to eat but there aren't many so be prepared to pick up and leave. I wish there was a dine-in option! Until then, I'll continue my weekly orders - the chicken is the most amazing around!

    Caesar Salad and California Chicken Salad

    I've had CCC bookmarked for the past few years and finally had a chance to give them a try. This location only has outdoor seating, but they do allow customers to use the bathroom if needed. They also have a quick "drive-up" for pick up orders, which is pretty neat. Cafe Caesar Salad - A bit different from what I'm used to. The dressing is lighter than what Caesar dressing really is. Not what I expected since I was craving a full on Caesar salad, but not too bad. California Chicken Salad - this is a huge salad! Pita chips were a nice add. The vinaigrette is quite tarty and can get overwhelming. We asked for a small green goddess dressing on the side, which was very light. Rotisserie chicken legs - Wow, do not sleep on their rotisserie chicken! I don't know if I was super hungry or just love rotisserie chicken, but these were juicy and fall off the bone. I'm curious if we could replace the chicken in the salads with rotisserie chicken instead. The staff was super nice, they also gave us extra chicken legs on the house! I'll need to try their wraps next time.

    I've passed by California Chicken Café so many times, and finally decided to stop in. They've got locations all over Orange County and LA, and every time I drive by one, it's always packed. This spot was no different. There's no real indoor dining here. You walk right up from the sidewalk, place your order at the front, and either grab a table outside or take it to go. Even at 12 noon, when it was the busiest it could be, they were moving fast. Everyone working knew exactly what they were doing. It felt like watching a well-oiled machine. In the ten minutes I stood there, they probably pushed out at least 50 orders. Super efficient. Now let's talk about this wrap. I ordered the Melrose Wrap with chicken and got it in a wheat tortilla. That tortilla was perfect. Soft, and had just the right amount of chew to hold everything together without falling apart. Inside, the chicken was tender, fresh, and seasoned just right. The avocado was creamy and fresh, not that hard or mushy kind you sometimes get. The white cheddar gave it a nice sharp bite that stood out in the best way. The greens, tomato, and mayo brought it all together, adding freshness and a little tang that worked great with the rest of this loaded wrap! It also came with Italian dressing on the side, which was great to dip the wrap in, but I ended up mixing in a little chipotle dressing and ranch too. Both had good flavor. The chipotle had a little kick without being overpowering, and the ranch was smooth and creamy, exactly what you'd want on the side of something like this. If you've ever driven past one of these places and wondered if it's worth stopping, yes it is! Everything's fresh, the portions are huge, and the operation runs tight. I'd definitely come back and try more of the menu. This one hit just right.

    Love the salad the most BBQ heaven !

The…read morebrightly colored tables were decorated to the look and feel of 1960's, All You Need Is Love, with a wide array of foods looking fantastic and tasting great. Chicken Diablo and New Yorker (a pastrami Reuben) were the featured sandwiches, with vegan and gluten free variations also available. Salads, hummus, fruit, cakes and pastries rounded out the selection, along with a very tasty herbal lemonade. The presentation made the most of the small space they were allotted, and the ample staff kept the tables (and serving platters) looking neat and appealing even as the guests made the most of the opportunity for a free lunch. Really: major kudos to the team for being so friendly, organized, and aware of the buffet. I would call them anytime to cater for me.

    The noise level in this café is completely unreasonable. At one point it felt like it was close to…read more90 dB. The staff were constantly shouting to each other across the café, loud music was playing, and customers had to raise their voices just to have a conversation. Instead of a pleasant café atmosphere, it felt chaotic and overwhelming. If you've ever wondered what it's like to eat your meal or hang out with your friends in the middle of a war zone, this café is the closest you'll get. If you're looking for a place to relax, work, study, or even have a normal conversation, I'd recommend going somewhere else. They also have a salad on the menu called Shiraz Salad, but it's not even remotely close to an authentic Shiraz salad. A traditional Shiraz salad is made with finely diced cucumber, tomato, and onion, dressed simply with verjuice or lemon juice. It does not contain avocado. Calling this dish "Shiraz Salad" is simply misleading.
