California Grill & Bar — Family-Owned Restaurant in Whittier, CA Since 1996

Blackened chicken breast, bowtie pasta, garlic, fresh basil, and parmesan cheese in a light tomato cream sauce.

This is the dish our regulars order without opening the menu, and the one first-timers get pointed to when they ask what to try. The chicken is seasoned with our blackening spice blend and seared hot, then laid over bowtie pasta tossed in a tomato cream sauce that stays light enough to finish every bite. Fresh basil and shaved parmesan bring it home.

It has been a California Grill signature for years at our Whittier restaurant, and it travels well too, so it is a favorite for takeout and one of the most requested trays on our catering menu. Pair it with a Caesar salad and garlic cheese Italian bread and dinner is handled. Available for dine in, pickup, and delivery daily.

Boneless, skinless chicken breast stuffed with spinach, feta cheese, dill, and scallions, topped with lemon dill sauce and served with your choice of two sides.

This one carries a little of our family's Greek heritage onto the plate. The chicken is rolled around a filling of fresh spinach, tangy feta, dill, and scallions, baked until juicy, then finished with a bright lemon dill sauce that ties the whole plate together.

Pick any two sides to build your dinner, from roasted vegetables to mashed potatoes, and it comes with warm garlic bread. Stuffed Chicken has been one of the most loved dinners at California Grill & Bar in Whittier for years, equally at home on a date night, a family dinner, or a comforting takeout order after a long day. Served daily for dine in, pickup, and delivery.

Our delicious Chicken Marsala served on a bed of bowtie noodles with our creamy mushroom Marsala sauce.

Tender chicken breast is sauteed and simmered in a rich Marsala wine sauce loaded with mushrooms, then served over bowtie pasta so every noodle catches the sauce. It is the kind of old-school comfort dish that never leaves the menu because our guests will not let it.

The Marsala sauce is made in our kitchen, cooked down until the wine turns sweet and savory and the mushrooms soak up all that flavor. Add a house salad to start and you have one of the most satisfying dinners at California Grill & Bar in Whittier. A longtime favorite for dine in, takeout, and family meals, available every day from lunch through dinner.

Mozzarella, BBQ sauce, chopped chicken, red onion, and cilantro on our large pizza crust.

Sweet, smoky, and a little sharp from the red onion, the BBQ Chicken Pizza is the top seller in our pizza lineup. We spread tangy BBQ sauce in place of marinara, layer on melty mozzarella and chopped chicken, then finish it out of the oven with fresh cilantro.

This is a large pizza built for sharing, which makes it a regular at family dinners, watch parties, and office lunches around Whittier. Pair it with a Caesar salad or a round of wings and you have a spread.

Swiss cheese, bacon, sauteed mushrooms, onions, and garlic rosemary aioli, served on grilled garlic cheese sourdough bread.

The San Franciscan is the burger that put California Grill on the map back in 1996, and this is the version with crispy bacon stacked on top. Instead of a regular bun, the juicy patty is pressed between slices of grilled garlic cheese sourdough, so every edge is buttery, cheesy, and crisp.

Sauteed mushrooms and onions melt into the Swiss, and our garlic rosemary aioli pulls it all together. It is messy in the best way and has been converting first-time guests into regulars in Whittier for almost thirty years. Served with your choice of side, available daily for dine in, pickup, and delivery at California Grill & Bar. Come hungry, and bring napkins.
