I eat here once a week and it's fantastic every single time i enjoy the food and the people here.

Food has always been good. Service is ehhh. The last few times i called in an order it sounded like i was an inconvenience. When i came to pick up order when i was told it would be ready I still had to wait ten minutes and got a ear full of what's going on in Nipomo read more

Have eaten here several times. No complaints. Service was good. I didn't eat but my grandson did. His favorite grilled cheese sandwich with fries. He says it's the best beside mine. lol. Place is small a few booths and a couple of tables. I don't think they have outdoor setting though. read more

$45 bucks for 2 burgers, fries and one drink. You could stop by Vons and make this better for $8. Garlicky fries were just regular fries with a few strands of Parmesan sprinkled on. Burgers were low quality in almost every way imaginable. Thin meat patty, bland bun, tiny bits of cheese, flavorless sauce, and a whole chunk of lettuce from the part you usually throw away if you were at home. Carl's Jr or Wendy's would have been half the price for twice the quality. Really shocked this place maintains a 4.3 rating. Must be the locals trying to be nice to the only burger place in town. read more

Small place that always had a small line but we didn't wait long. Counter service. We had the tri tip sandwiches which were tasty and had 7 oz of meat (I asked). We'll be back to try the burgers which looked really good! read more

They are super friendly and the burgers and top quality. I am super grateful they have been here for the long haul because I enjoy them and the food every time I go... read more

We were on a road trip and found this Burger spot on the way... it totally hit the spot! Very friendly staff and fast service. On the pricier side but definitely quality ingredients. Small parking lot and the store was a little hidden from the main road... (signage didn't stand out for us. ) but really cute inside. read more

Used to love coming here, now the change of hours doesn't allow for it. I mean 11-4? What kind of hours are those? And how is that financially viable? What a shame. read more

Food is good but there is no menus or table service. You walk in the door order your food from a chalkboard and grab your drink from a fridge, pay and sit at a bare table with the exception of a lonely fresh flower. Parking is scarce because of other businesses in the complex. You get the bare necessities only. read more

Came for lunch after visiting the Luffa farm and I'm so glad we did! This is a small place tucked into a little strip mall in Nipomo, open for lunch and early dinner. They have salads, a variety of sandwiches and are primarily known for their burgers. I got the plain cheeseburger, and my friends got the mushroom burger and the teriyaki burger. The burgers came out quickly, perfectly cooked and delicious! The fries were crispy and yummy. This is definitely a good place to go when you're in Nipomo. read more

Great food, one of my favorite places to get a pastrami sandwich. Would get 5 stars but they are kinda pricey

We have had the burgers, clubhouse sandwiches, chicken sandwiches, fries and onion rings. The food is made to order. Very fresh and hot. Hangry for a good old fashioned burger? This is the place! read more

********** 0 STARS ********* !!! THUMBS DOWN !!! 0 STARS: GRILLED HAM & CHEESE Sandwich. As soon as the to-go sandwich packaging was opened, it was obvious the sandwich was a FAILURE !!! This sandwich should have NEVER been served! The sandwich was so BAD that ONLY ONE BITE WAS TAKEN and the rest went literally to my dogs. The "Grilled" Ham & Cheese sandwich WAS NOT GRILLED! It was barely toasted! Talk about a DISAPPOINTMENT! Pure lackadaisicalness. TOUGH LOVE: TURN ON YOUR GRILL! That's what it's for! If you don't want to used your grill, then change the name of the sandwich to "Lousy Ham & Cheese"! NOTE: This was a daunting task, writing a dark food review on this favored establishment and while I thought about approaching them one on one, I realized this establishment should be mindful of every menu item that exits the kitchen and to be RESPECTFUL TO THEIR CUSTOMERS!!! ************************************* read more

Driving around and suddenly I realized that I NEEDED a burger and fries from California Grill. A visceral, nay, primal desire. I'm a 9th generation American so it's in my DNA at this point. My only beef (I'm sorry I said that...) is that when they asked if I wanted Cali Sauce, I said I wanted it on the side. So they gave me a burger with Cali Sauce AND some on the side. Clearly a miscommunication. My cheeseburger was delicious. Great fries, too! read more

A local spot with a very large selection of sandwiches. We went simple with the cheeseburger, tri tip BBQ sandwich and an order of fries. It was all really tasty and the portions huge! I only ate half of the tri tip sandwich and I was full. Impressive fries and impressive how everything came out piping hot. A great local place for lunch. read more

Great place for hamburgers, fries, and shakes. I haven't tried their fish and chips, that's next.

Who knew that just off of 101 there was this great burger place? This is what Yelp is best at. My husband had the basic burger. I had the veggie burger with lettuce wraps as they didn't have a gluten free bun . The food came quickly and was good! They offered sweet potato fries, which were excellent. The wait staff was friendly. The grill is a typical California burger place with vinyl booths. Clean and simple. Much better than any chain burger place! read more

The sandwiches were good, although I would recommend placing an order online vs with a phone call for the clarity of everyone.

Hadn't been here in quite a while. Service was great. The place was empty. And I was very disappointed in the food. I ordered a classic burger with cheese, small fries, and a fountain soda. $17.95. OK. Again, service is very good. Burger was awful. The burger itself was about a quarter of an inch thick, and seems like it has been around for a few days. The sandwich itself was all bun, and the bun was stale. Fries were fresh, but really didn't have any flavor. Even with ketchup. what has happened to this place??? read more

Great food, fast service, best BLAT I've ever had! Nipomo doesn't have a lot of restaurants and this is a go-to for dining in or dining out. We are regulars and will continue to come here! read more

Took my grandmother to California Grill while visiting her in Nipomo and had a great experience. Ordered and served within 10 minutes, staff was friendly, and food was delicious. Grandma got the mushroom burger, I got the tri tip sandwich (highly recommend), and girlfriend got the Chicken Caesar Salad. Plenty of food for leftovers and will definitely come back again. read more

Lots of choices for burgers, sandwiches and salads. It is all a bit pricy, but the food is made fresh. I had the Teri burger which is pineapple, grilled onions, teriyaki sauce, and fixin's. Was good and tasty. A little weak on the pineapple and teriyaki sauce - definitely more onion and lettuce flavor. The restaurant is tucked away in a small parking lot, and can easily be missed if you're not looking for it. The interior is clean and quiet. Staff are friendly and honest. read more

California Grill Nipomo - Burgers Near Me - Nipomo, California

Very disappointed, for a few reasons. First, you cannot find current prices on their "website", their Facebook page, and no updated menu photos on Yelp. I called and ordered a Cali Burger for myself and the Grilled chicken sandwich for my wife. I specifically requested her sandwich be "dry"; no BBQ sauce or anything else. Also requested no onions. I also said fries and assumed they came with the burger/sandwich. When I picked up, the total was almost $29, I tipped $4 (another issue) and went home. When we opened the bag, there were no fries. I called and the girl said, no, fries don't come with the sandwich or burger... $29 for a burger and a sandwich. I told her we were disappointed and that they should reconsider including fries. Next, my wife opens her sandwich and, guess what? Mayonnaise and onions... My burger was fine but nothing special. A few suggestions; obviously, include fries with burgers and sandwiches if they're premium priced. If they're not included, staff should inform customers and ask if they'd like to add fries. Third, update your menu, so that prices are current and it's clear what is and isn't included. Finally, get the order right if you're charging premium prices. PS: even including a tip line for to-go orders is wrong. If I'm impressed with the phone and pickup experience, I'll add a few bucks to a tip jar. Longtime Nipomo residents, and we won't be back to California Grill. read more

We enjoy the California Grill in Nipomo. We've tried some of the burgers, fish and chips, BLT and chicken strips. All were good. Be aware that fries are separate for all meals. Prices aren't cheap but are average for independent restaurants these days. It is a very small restaurant so finding a seat with a larger party might be a challenge. read more

OMG Soooo Good!!!! The first time a i went it was sooo good! The 2nd time I went it was again so so good!!!! I wish they are nearer to where I live. read more

My husband and stopped here for lunch. We ordered a pastrami sandwich it was good but had very little meat. Usually pastrami sandwich's are so large we always split. This one was so skimpy on the meat. My husband said I hardly got any meat I opened mine and said same for me. I moved all my meat to one side of the roll to make it feel like I had meat. The price for the sandwich was $10.75. You order at the counter the gal that took our order was very nice. You seat yourself and there are TV's .They have fountain drinks and beer. Again it was good but skimpy. read more
