Good food

Cali Fried catered for a bridal shower I was hosting and they went above and beyond with the food! We had chicken and waffles, wings, shrimp and grits and some corn on the cob. Everyone was raving about how delicious everything was, especially the chicken and waffles. Their portions were also HUGE so we were even able to take home some leftovers.We loved that they added special touches for the waffle station as well, providing lots of options for toppings.Would definitely hire them again for future events.

The food was amazing and the owner and her family was even better than that. I'm from Dallas but live in Vegas and decided to take a drive up here by myself. This is an amazing place to eat. If it was a sit down restaurant I know the customer service would be A1. Sending the restaurant peace and prosperity. Thank you Ebony and family!!! The portions are huge. It's literally a feast lol

Found this gem on DoorDash for pickup and it didn’t disappoint! Cali Fried is such a hidden treasure. I ordered the Surf and Sea box and it definitely hit the spot. I believe it came with 6 jumbo shrimp (ate it too fast to even count) one large piece of catfish, hush puppies, seasoned fries and Hawaiian bread. I also ordered the breaded Okra. Everything was fresh & hot, crispy, and seasoned. My plate was definitely finger-licking good. The food, paired with the excellent customer service I received when picking up for takeout, makes this place worthy a return visit in the near future.

All I can say is AMAZING! I've been wanting, for quite some time, to find a place that serves southern style fried Catfish and finally I've found it. My wife ordered the shrimp. Worth every bit of the price. Portions are HUGE! Delicious flavor. Definitely will frequent Cali Fried again. Great job Sean and crew!

Fried chicken was nicely seasoned and crunchy exterior. The fish sandwich wasn't greasy at all, well seasoned, and light. The broiche bun was soft add coleslaw on top with tarter and hot sauce is excellent.The chips stole the show. Freshly made and lightly seasoned. Will be back to try chicken and waffles as well as chicken sandwich

OMG…if your looking for amazing food this is the place. The food was hot and fresh, presentation was awesome and the portions size for the money spent was worth every dime. We tried chicken & waffles, shrimp, fish and hush puppies and more. Everything was wonderful!!!This place is a must!!!!!

Come hungry because the serving sizes are huge, and the food is amazing!!The Chicken sandwich was a full size breast, not a chicken finger like most. Perfect crunch, and seasonings. The different sauces and brioche bun pushed this sandwich over the top for me. 10 stars

I give out a lot of 5 stars but this is a genuine double five stars. Reasonably makes me question my rating system.Maybe im still overly positive. Let's do a 6/5 cuz its better than many of my other 5 stars but its not like a world class plate or anything.The fish is BUTTER all the sauces are house made and have that special bite. Hot sauce for chicken special sauce for green tomatoes tartar for fish. The chicken is neither dry or juicy and not a bit greasy. The hot sauce clearly brings the flavor so dont eat it plain. But the combo is like the first time someone put vinegar on chips--pure Fieriean flavortown.But its not a fancy expensive place either and its not a 5 star fine chefing plate. Its a 6/5 star regular outing. Name me a better place to get southern fried food in the area or maybe the region and its probably definitely not nearly as good.
