    First time eating at Hot birds, I've heard about it but haven't tried it until today. I saw their trailer across the street from my house and decided to check it out. HOT STUFF HERE!!! This delicious messy sandwich made me very happy!!! Add a side of fries and your tastes buds will thank you. Many levels of heat to choose from I decided to go with medium. Can you believe there's another level with two ghost peppers (waiver needs to be signed) but mild was plenty for me, I think next time I may try a hotter sauce. Their menu is simple, yet straight forward. Choose your sandwich or tenders and then choose your dry rub heat sauce. The service was great and despite a line I didn't wait that long for my food. If you have a craving for a chicken sandwich and you see their trailer parked near, I recommend eating here - thank you

    #5 Large Mega Chicken Fries
    Jesse M.

    Perfectly crispy with just the right kick. Juicy inside, spicy without overpowering the flavor. These tenders were FIRE. I would absolutely order again. *Warning* Spicy level "HOT" or "HOT HOT" is not for the weak! I love Spicy foods and this place is the only spot that makes me suffer.

    Large Mega Chicken Fries
    Jr G.

    The best fried chicken in the central coast. The food is fresh and the chicken is juicy. I go at least once a week it's addicting. My go to is the Jumbo Meal It's a must it easily feeds two people. This place don't play there portions are shareable they are huge worth every penny. They definitely don't skimp out on food. The wait can be a little long at times since this place is always busy. They sell out often so show up early. This is the best food truck in Watsonville Iykyk this place is bomb.

    Small mega fries
    Ben F.

    Fantastic chicken, the "small" mega fries is more than enough for 1 adult. The spiciness levels are a bit more than you think so if you think you can handle hot, go one step lower and you won't blow out your face. The team is really nice and friendly.

    Not worth the drive plus they got my order wrong definitely won't be back not good at all portion was fine but flavor nah

    We had a very good dinner at California Grill while visiting Watsonville. The restaurant has a…read morecomfortable, old-school local feel with a large bar and dining room. It isn't trying to be overly trendy or fancy, and the emphasis on local ingredients and the Pajaro Valley gives it some character. My partner had the Mediterranean pasta with grilled chicken, and our son had the steak dinner with fries and vegetables. I ordered the evening special, which was cheese tortellini with prawns in a creamy sauce. Everything was very good, and the portions were generous. They also brought bread to the table before dinner and kept us supplied during the meal. We had a bottle of Alfaro Pinot Noir with dinner. It was a good local wine and paired nicely with the meal. We also appreciated seeing local wines represented on the menu. We finished by sharing the crème brûlée. It was quite tasty and considerably larger than we expected... definitely enough to share. The service was a real highlight. Our waiter was friendly, attentive and prompt throughout the meal. Since we were visiting the area, he also took some time to share a few local tips, including where to find some particularly good sausages and meats. It was a nice personal touch and added to the experience. Overall, California Grill was a very good find in Watsonville: good food, generous portions, excellent service and a nice connection to the local agricultural community. A solid four-star experience, and somewhere we'd be happy to visit again.

    This is the second time I was at this location. The food is…read morereally good and the portions are large, ok, very large Fresh salads, innovative preparation of food, I am very impressed with this location.

Really good burgers part of brew pub so order a food and beer…read moretogether Located next to the Watsonville airport in an industrial area so don't be surprised Parking - street is packed so don't be surprised if you need to park away and walk. Be careful of the lots which are private and will tow you. Service - great. Harper busy Friday night but service was prompt and efficient Food - delicious burger and fries. Burgers had great homemade pickles and fries were cooked and seasoned perfectly Brew - huge selection of beers. Amber ale and the hazy were both very good If you ware in the Watsonville area you owe it to some of for a pint and some food. Enjoy!

Our top favorites: Burger: The burger buns are made fresh daily as well as the premium meat used to make the patty's. It comes with fries that have the perfect crunch. Buttermilk salad: There is so much flavor with every bite, tossed with an amazing house-made dressing (don't forget to add their juicy grilled chicken, BOMB!). Spicy fried chicken sandwich: The sauce on the sandwich is perfect for spicy lovers. I am obsessed with the crunch of their fried chicken - mouth watering!! You cannot go wrong with any of the items on their menu. Top tier!!
