“ As far as I am concerned, this is the best local restaurant on the north end, at least. I'm thrilled that they reopened at a newer and larger building. They distinguish themselves on how they treat there customers. And their food is way better than homestyle cafe. ”
“ Made fresh you'll wait a little bit but worth it ”
“ I had a host of family come visit from out of town. I ordered 50 piece wings from California Kitchen, it came with fries and 2 cans of pop. I was told 15 minutes for pick up and did not check the food prior to leaving. The chicken was fried very hard and wasn't good. I didn't call until the next morning and spoke to a manager. The manager was pleasant and very understanding. I was able to bring back the chicken from the previous day and recieved a full new 50 piece meal for my visiting family. He even asked if I wanted to keep the order that was messed up. Amazing customer service and the food was really good. I would always order from them, they really know how to treat their customers!! The new location is great too!. ”
