In Short
At midday this simple, counter-service eatery draws a business-lunch crowd, but come evening local gym rats, police officers and firemen line up for the non-greasy grub. Patrons place orders at the register and wait for their orders of the signature rotisserie chicken and sides like sweet butternut squash and slightly spicy red potatoes. The menu also offers huge, crisp salads and fresh wrap sandwiches, including a popular vegetarian pita stuffed with rice, vegetables and ranch dressing.

I would not be complete without California Chicken Cafe! It is an excellent option for lunch or dinner that is easy and healthy. I highly recommend the Asian Chicken Salad, as I almost get it everyime I go. It is a large portion as well, so I generally share it with my boyfriend. I take out all the time, enjoy!!!

Big rush descends on the place for lunch and there's limited seating, but it turns over quickly. Meals here are a lot like eating at Whole Foods a couple blocks away. It is possible to sit close to the rotisserie, which takes a bit off the fast food experience. All in all, chicken is good, and sides/salad bar is good (not great, but reliably good). Convenient for carry out, if you walk over or get lucky in their tiny guarded back pkg lot.

I have been to this chain at other locations. Food - I like the food but I can agree with some of the other comments that most items are very similar. Service - Just ok, the staff is not outwardly rude, but they are not necessarily courteous or outgoing either. Setting - REALLY LOUD. I went during lunch and the noise inside was almost unbearable. I couldn't even talk across the table. I think it is made worse by the design of the place(flat walls, tiled floors, hard ceiling). Crowd - A lot of stroller moms mixing with some local people who work in the area.
