    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.

    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!

    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 !

    California Chicken Cafe is one of those places I keep coming back to because it's consistently good and consistently easy. I love their Thai salad and the BBQ chicken salad, both are flavorful, fresh, and filling without feeling heavy. You can tell they prep everything with care because the ingredients always taste crisp and well balanced. No matter which location I go to, the food tastes exactly how I expect it to, which is honestly underrated these days. The place is always very clean when I'm there, even during busy times, and the staff is genuinely friendly. Not rushed friendly, but actually pleasant and efficient. Even when the line looks long, it moves quickly, which makes it an easy lunch or dinner option when you're short on time. It does get busy a lot of the time, but that's clearly for good reason. They know what they're doing and they do it well. Parking is mostly street parking, but I usually order to go anyway, which makes it a non issue for me. They also have designated pickup parking spots, which is extremely convenient and shows they've thought through the customer experience. Overall, it's reliable, healthy, fast, and consistently satisfying. California Chicken Cafe is one of those places you can depend on whether you're grabbing a quick bite or ordering ahead and heading out.

    I love Calif Chicken Cafe. Everything is incredibly fresh and always leaves you feeling satisfied. My husband usually orders either the Chinese Chicken Wrap or the Melrose Wrap both are delicious and uniquely flavorful. And the sauces are the best part. At times, they surprise you with free items, which is how I discovered just how juicy and tender their chicken really is. Lately, the California Chicken Salad has become my go-to it's fresh, filling, and so good

    Out West Salad. I added broccoli and tomatoes to get some extra veggies. Delicious and so filling

The outdoor setting was perfect for people-watching, adding to the laid-back vibe of the place. The staff were incredibly friendly, making us feel right at home. I decided to try the Dialog Breakfast Burrito, which has soft scrambled eggs, kielbasa sausage, and melted cheddar; crispy hash browns to add crunch, and the house-made spicy ketchup provides a zesty kick. I also enjoyed a Madagascar vanilla latte and fresh-squeezed orange juice. Let me tell you, the breakfast burrito was fantastic! The eggs were cooked to perfection, and the flavors blended beautifully. A special shout-out to Annika, who recommended the vanilla latte--it truly was heavenly! They use house-made vanilla syrup, which elevated the drink to a whole new level. While we didn't order it, I must mention the BLT that the table next to us had. It looked and smelled amazing, and they confirmed it was as good as it appeared. If you're looking for a chill spot with great food and friendly service, Dialog is definitely worth a visit!

This place has been such a staple in hollywood and it's always good. I love that they change the menu to try new things but also keep some of the old goodies. Today i tried the new broccoli dish and the steak frites with salad . So so so good!! Sauce on the steak was fantastic. The fries were excellent . I'm not a French fry person (i don't order because i try to stay away from fried food) and it was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside - seasoned perfectly and pairs well with the aioli sauce. The eggs and morning plates are some of my favorite things here for breakfast and i love their croissants and cookies!! The chicken Caesar wrap is a huge hit and i know the Gen Z's love this according to my younger sister lol. I feel like you can't go wrong here, always something for everyone. We've brought friends and family here over the years and we'll always continue to do so. The service is also super friendly . I love that they expanded to the side walk because the wait times used to be even crazier when it was just the patio . I remember sooo well. Love the expansion. I know there's more changes and new things to come as time progresses and we'll be here to see it :)
