    I just wanted to do an update review. Today my husband and the kids wanted to try something new. They have never been and it's been a while since my last visit. And I will say, they improved... even when they messed up big time, they corrected it. Let me explain. First, very clean, open, & lively. However, i don't like that there are no trash cans anywhere! I appreciate the fact they have "bus boys & girls" but they're not around enough... they're tables were dirty and have napkins, and I tried to clean it myself after we orders and the self order kiosk, but I had to wait 10 minutes after sitting down for someone to finally come by and ask if they can take the trash left by the previous costumers. Then, we got the food in decent time (20 minutes) for how busy it was, and it was good food, until... My daughter took a bite of her chicken and a thick, black, 2 inch curly hair came out... my daughter has blonde hair... and even with that, the hair literally have the fry mix baked onto it still when I showed the chef at the pass, so you can clearly tell it went in the fryer that way. But he made it right, he ordered us a brand new dish. With that though, our food was pretty good. We got the two fried fish flatter, two crispy fish taco platter, & lobster roll. The lobster roll is overpriced for how little lobster was in it (but in all fairness-who isn't cheap anymore when it comes to filling rolls with lobster), the fish itself was really crispy, but it lacked seasoning and lightness. And the best thing was the fish tacos because it at least came with the slaw, radishes, and sauce with tortillas. All-in-all, it wasn't bad, but we definitely will be trying other dishes to actually see what plates are worth the money and which ones are not.

    Salmon Salad Brussels Sprouts
    Tony S.

    Been coming here for years and I have to say one of the better options for coastal/ sea food options. The salmon salad is the way to go with brussel sprouts. We love coming here! But just for to go.. the only reason for the 4 stars is for the service. We came in for a quick bite, and wanted to sit outside. I just wasn't sure if they'd call our name out or how it works. So I just went up to ask if our names are called out and the female worker that responded was very short with a rude response that my name was not called out yet. Not a big deal, some days are hard and as a restaurant worker myself through college, I get it. Love the food, great tasting!

    Shrimp tacos
    Larry P.

    It's been awhile and it's still fantastic! A big selection to choose from! Pick your fish and sauce and sides! The service is fast and friendly! The inside has lots of tables so there's always a place to sit down and the outside patio area is great!

    Citrus shrimp bowl
    Brielle O.

    This place is amazing. It's so easy to order as you come in and order on a screen. The food always comes out quick. I've tried a few of their bowls and they are great and well priced. Only bad size is they get packed sometimes during lunch and there will be no tables. I normally come here every other week when I'm in the area for work. Staff is also friendly as well.

    Zucchini!! Sea bass yum.

    The fish is amazing! Cooked and seasoned perfectly. Juicy and fresh, no gross fishy taste. I almost went back and bought a second plate it was so good! I love the kids meal options, fish or no fish, and they have a self service kiosk that makes ordering easy. The negative: The kiosk has options that the menu board doesn't, the drink choices are dissatisfying... you get Pepsi, one of their own sodas, or a strawberry mint drink. I requested extra sauce but as you can see in my images there isn't extra sauce. When we asked for more sauce a second time, we were given a tiny container. I believe we asked for more 3 times in total. Absolutely will come back here anytime we're in Redlands for lunch. So so good!

    Shrimp Taco (Grilled) Cajun
    Diego T.

    If you're reading this, wondering if this specific California Fish Grill location is worth it -- STOP SCROLLING. This Redlands spot always hits the spot. Not gonna lie, my experiences at other locations have been "meh," but THIS one? Different breed. Yes, you order through a kiosk (don't panic, we're in the future now), but the staff are super helpful. They got u! Pro Tip #1: Giant Shrimp Plate. Rice. Veggies. Cajun sauce. Oh. My. God. The rice? Soft like a cloud made of dreams. The shrimp? Cajun-kissed and living rent-free in my brain. The veggies? ALL fire, but those Brussel sprouts??? INSANE. Like, if balsamic vinegar had a favorite child, it would be these sprouts. Pro Tip #2: Cajun Grilled Shrimp Tacos. Sheeeeeesh. The flavor combo in those tacos made me feel like I owed them a tip AND an apology for how fast I inhaled them. The way they balance the spices and textures is lowkey culinary marvel. The vibes? Inside seating? Chill. Outside seating? Chill with a side of "Why don't I hang out here more often?" Redlands location brings it all together like the last puzzle piece you didn't even know you lost. Moral of the story: Pull up. I dare you. Bet you'll end up planning your next visit before you even finish.

    Fish and chips/shrimp combo. This is less than $14.
    Dale P.

    This is the place to go to if you are looking for good seafood at a fair price. Today i had their fish and chips/shrimp combo which is less than $14. It was very good. The service here is helpful and friendly. I've been here numerous times and have always had a positive experience. The only complaint I have is the parking situation . I'm handicapped and usually have to park little ways away. Its worth the walk though. And its not their fault and won't keep me from coming back All in all its a great place to ea.

    Everything Protein Bowl was fantastic!
    Keith K.

    What a pleasant surprise! I ordered the Everything Protein Bowl and it was absolutely delicious! Each component was tasty and perfectly cooked. Highly recommend!

    shrimp salad with avocado
    Najeya K.

    I dieeeee over the grilled shrimp avocado salad!!!!! I'm so obsessed with it- my new hyper fixation. The shrimp is perfect & so is the Cesar salad. I love it because it's not too overwhelming filling. Perfect portions & perfect taste.

    Inside the restaurant
    Kristy R.

    Food is so delicious! We are definitely coming back! We ordered the salmon and Swai fish plate with zucchini and Brussel sprouts we added the side salad for $1.99 (w/entree) the Caesar salad was great it's my go to salad, but the Greek salad just hit the spot it was so fresh and refreshing, I think I'll get that as my entree the next time. Salmon was cooked perfectly and the swai fish was so tender it melted in my mouth.. we got the chipotle sauce and the sweet chili sauce and both were great! I did ask for hot sauce they have both tapatio and Tabasco. They have water cups available without asking. We ordered the strawberry mint juice and it was delicious both to sweet, I usually dilute all my drinks and this was perfect I didn't need to add water. Service was great, I had a typo on the kiosk ans the staff handled it swiftly! The restaurant is a order-pay-eat style restaurant. It was nice and cool, it was 97° outside and the inside was so cool perfect lunch date.

    Branzino (Sea Bass)     Sweet Chili Glaze (on the side) Skewered Shrimp     Cajun style White Rice

    Sadly the CFG closer to us (Palm Desert) has permanently closed. After a long fishing trip (with no luck), I was craving fish. Thankfully this was on the way after leaving Big Bear. The Sea Bass ($15.99) was delicious, it was so flavorful even with our choice of sauce on the side. The plain fries (free side) were fine. I wish we tried the Volcano fries, they looked tastier. Extra sauce on the side means they fill up the little plastic container to the top, regular is about halfway. Definitely recommend extra on the sweet chili glaze. It reminds me of the Thai dipping sauce Mae Ploy. I tried the Wild Rockfish ($12.99), recommended by an employee. It was decent, it was a very mild (more bland) taste. If I were to order it again, I'd probably have it with the sweet chili glaze on it and not on the side. The Cajun sauce in the container had some separation and was very buttery tasting. We ordered a shrimp skewer ($3.99) on the side, which paired well with the Cajun sauce on it. The Fire Roasted Street Corn ($2.50 side upgrade) was worth it. The blend of green onions, cilantro and crumbled cheese was delicious with it. The white rice (free side) was a must since we usually have it with all our entrees. We also got a cup for a fountain drink ($3.50). I'd recommend to just buy mango juice from Costco. Their Mango Juice ($4.75, or $5.12 after tax) said out of stock in the self service kiosk. Since it's at their dispenser, you get the full cup's worth and no ice.

    Heaters, not turned on, in a December evening
    Eric H.

    They have an outdoor seating area because the inside seating is very limited. In a December evening, the restaurant has the audacity to not turn them on for the guests sitting outside.

    Glazed Brussels Sprouts
    Greg L.

    Friday afternoon dinner date with the wifey decided on California Fish Grill for Lent which was a great idea! Nice ambiance, friendly service. Choice of eating indoors or outside we chose out side in the cool evening air. I ordered the Tilapia with the sweet chili glaze with kale slaw and cauliflower rice was fresh tender and out of bounds, my wife had the Shrimp Caesar Salad best salad she's had is what she said I tased it she wasn't wrong. Expectations exceeded! Will be back!

A colleague spoke very highly of Taco Shack and after a close examination of the menu, I was in shock to see a California Burrito on their menu. I had to try it. The result? PERFECTION! Even the tortilla of the burrito was amazing. Aside from a tasty California Burrito, my first visit to Taco Shack was accompanied with friendly and fast service. The staff working the day I came in were kind, patient, and quick with orders. The establishment itself is a counter service type of spot. They have tables inside and a nice size patio area in front of the restaurant to enjoy some outdoor seating. I'm thrilled to have found Taco Shack and will definitely be stopping by again to try more items off of their menu. If you find yourself in or passing through Redlands, Taco Shack is worth the visit!

She was so weird about giving the discount and didn't want to. She was irritated that I even asked. Today I go and take my family on my lunch break and show my discount card with a bill of $54 and she gave me $1.35 and said that was the discount and when I explained to her that I always go there she proceeded to tell me that next time I could get a free drink. Patio has a lot of flies. They should really do something about that. All of our food minus my dad's burrito was very cold. Everything! 2/10 I had an hour lunch and just needed to rush back to work. She also told me that soon there will be no discounts, not even for seniors. Ok, so cool, you guys stay raising your prices and then want to be unkind and now this. No thanks. I told her it was ok but this is literally 2 times back to back I come here for some nonsense. I'm not going back. Also, the older man who cleans the tables is very sweet and kind. Too bad everyone else can't say the same.

I placed a DoorDash order totaling over $50 to feed my family of four. Because they typically provide very little salsa (which honestly is what makes the food), I called the restaurant ahead of time to ask about adding extra. The woman I spoke with told me they would include 10 green salsas and that I could pay for the extras. She wasn't able to process payment over the phone, so I went back into the app and added an additional side of guacamole per person to increase the order. When the order arrived, we only received 6 green salsas and nothing extra. When I called the restaurant, the same woman said she didn't see anything on her end showing the additions, so she didn't include them -- even though she had already told me she would. For a $55 order, not including the extra salsa that was discussed is frustrating, especially when this has been an ongoing issue with missing items in previous orders. On top of that, we ordered four separate dinners and everything was combined into just two containers. The lack of attention to the order and the dismissive response when I called back were disappointing. Unfortunately, after multiple experiences like this, I won't be ordering from here again.
