    Wild Rockfish with garlic butter sauce served with white rice and diced zucchini and rosemary.
    Jeanne W.

    First time trying California Fish Grill. I ordered the grilled Wild Rockfish in Garlic Butter with sides of white rice and diced zucchini seasoned with rosemary. The meal was delicious! Fish was grilled perfectly, the garlic butter sauce was flavorful, zucchini was crisp tender. A fresh, healthy, and light meal. Definitely recommend a future visit again. Ordering and payment is done on a screen at the counter by the customer but the friendly employees will assist if there is a free moment. I went during the lunch hour and the place was busy but I received my food fairly quickly. The restaurant tables are bused and cleaned quickly. Restrooms are well kept. Parking is plentiful behind the restaurant and on the street with a few disabled parking spaces not too far away.

    I've heard good things about California Fish Grill, so I decided to take my wife here for the first time. We went on a Saturday around 1:30 PM and it was a full house. They have self-ordering kiosks, which is fine in theory, but when you're a first timer and there are a lot of options, it slows everything down. The 4 groups ahead of us took forever. About 15 minutes into just waiting to order, I was honestly getting frustrated and almost walked out. But then things turned around. A cashier opened up a register, and I was able to order directly with a staff member. Shoutout to Jovanni who helped us out. Super helpful, gave good recommendations, and got our order done in under 2 minutes. Funny how the "old school" way was way faster than all those machines. Now the food... this is where they redeemed themselves. The garlic butter giant shrimp plate was flavorful and cooked well. Sides like the brussels sprouts, asparagus, and sweet potatoes were all on point. Everything came together nicely and definitely saved the experience. Only downside was the ahi tuna. It was supposed to be seared rare, but came out overcooked, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, rough start but strong finish. I'd come back, just hoping for a smoother ordering process next time.

    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!

    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!

    2 PIECE BATTERED FISH & CHIPS

    I've had CFG before and was not expecting this. Giving 3 stars cause my wife's shrimp skewer plate was good. Idk what happened but I'm surprised they let this food leave the line and thinking it was good enough to serve. I didn't go back cause it wasn't worth the hassle. I guess I'll add CFG to my list of food places to check before going home. Big sigh

    Good fresh seafood always prepared well. Casual dining (order at the front, wait for your name, take your tray off food to your table yourself).

    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.

    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.

    Any vegan options?

    They have great plant based options! I went recently and saw that they updated their menu to include plant based options, which is so great !! The staff were very helpful in helping me make sure that what I ordered went with my dietary restrictions…

Although their prices are high, $16 for a torta, it's usually worth it, because their portions are quite generous. Earlier today, I ordered a torta to go, and I ended up extremely disappointed when I got home. It had literally half the meat, half the beans, and half the cheese that it normally does. This was the first time I'd been disappointed with their food, but I decided to call and express my dissatisfaction. I was passed to the manager who handled the situation in the most unprofessional way. I explained the issue to him, and he insisted that my torta today had the same amount of meat, beans, and cheese as always. I disagreed with him, and he responded angrily, "Everybody makes mistakes!" He raised his voice and repeated it a couple of times. It was completely bizarre that he chose to speak to me as if I was the one who'd done something wrong. It's very childish to do a subpar job and then get upset and frustrated when you're called on it. An adult apologizes and pledges to not blow it again. Anyhow, I don't tolerate disrespectful people so I'm done. I won't spend another penny there.

He fondly remembered us from our previous visits (over a year ago!) and greeted us warmly! The food here is outstanding, even better than I remembered from last year. I grew up in Southern California (when I was not Vegan), and BZ Taco has all of the bright color, texture and punch of flavor that I remember from all my favorite SoCal Mexican restaurants! The portions are generous, with serve-your-own Pickled Onions, Jalapeños and Salsas on the counter. On this visit, I had the BZ Torta which is their signature Carnitas Torta cradled in their pillowy-soft Telera Bread. An incredible sandwich! The harmonious textures and flavors of the Bread, Vegetables and Carnitas danced with every bite. My cousin ordered the Fish Tacos and inhaled it like it was his last meal! We shared the BZ Nachos (Al Pastor). Last time, we had the BZ Esquite Fries, and as good as the Fries were, the BZ Nachos took this mixed bowl concept to another level.
