“ Food marvelous: tasty, fresh, seasoned perfectly. Gluten free available. Best french fries ever!! ”
“ Always enjoy their grilled fish dishes. And their fish and chips. Service is also consistent and the restaurant is always clean. ”
“ Food was plentiful and delicious. Service was Outstanding!!!!!! So surprised a chain with so many locations was so good with fish. The fish won't absolutely blow you away, but is solid. ”
“ Heard this place was good snd today I had to try the fish and chips. I got fries and a kale cole slaw. I've had kale snd kinda my nose up But this was delicious!. And the price $10.99 you cannot beat. I'll come back! ”
“ Ali the manager is amazing! Not only does she pay attention to her customers, but she makes you feel at home. She smiles wide, and welcomes you into the restaurant so pleasantly also. I was talking with another customer about the juices that were being served, and she over heard me saying, I wonder if the mint strawberry juice was good, and she proceeded to offer me a sample. Now that's great customer service. Also, I was asking her about her favorite dishes, and she totally took her time to explain literally every dish I was inquiring about. Again, great customer service! Ali thank you for welcoming me into the restaurant so pleasantly. I will be back, because you make it feel like a warm hug. ”
“ California Fish Grill never disappoints! Shout out to Aly for taking my order. I was looking for something new to try and she recommended the new Mediterranean shrimp wrap that comes with a side a fries. It was tasty, but my fav is the Atlantic salmon grilled plate. ”
“ Now that Rubios is gone, I didn't have a place I could get decent beer-battered fish tacos... until today! Had a random craving and ended up here with my wife after running some errands. Clean place, workers -- especially the woman expediting -- were working hard and doing a great job. Fish was not overly battered! One improvement for me would be a thicker tortilla. I took two bites into my taco and the tortilla started to fall apart. Either that or more flat pieces of fish without it being all jagged because of the deep fried batter. My wife loved the tortilla tho. She got the Cajun Fish so probably different experience. ”
“ We hadn't tried the El Cerrito location yet and it had been over a year since we last visited CFG. The cashier was super helpful, assisting everyone with the self-serve order station. My wife ordered 3 grilled shrimp salads for us and my mom, with the shrimp extra grilled, and we also got the fish and chips to share. The salad was packed with shrimp, and the lemon dressing was spot-on. The fish was a nice bonus. Overall, we really enjoyed the meal. ”
“ Met up with a group of friends here for lunch and it was great because they let us sit and visit with each other without making us feel that we were taking up space. There were seven of us in the group, so we took up two tables. We each ordered meals and beverages. I asked for a sample of the sea salt mango fruit juice because I wasn't sure if I'd like the addition of sea salt to my beverage and they very happily let me taste it before ordering. It was surprisingly delicious and very refreshing! I also ordered a miso salmon salad that was featured on the ordering kiosk, but they gave me the wrong thing. The salad I ordered had salmon and avocado with a miso dressing, but the one I received had quinoa in it and no avocado. Since it was really good anyway, I didn't say anything. I definitely would've liked the salmon to be a little less cooked, though. I think it was my fault because I forgot to tell them I wanted my salmon to be medium rare; there was actually no way to choose medium rare when ordering at the kiosk, but I should have told them anyway. I think this is a great place to meet up for lunch. Kind of fast food, but not. Reasonable prices and lots of parking since it's in a shopping mall. ”
