CALI FRIED Southern •
350 Clinton St Ste A, Costa Mesa

“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.“

“Ordered the two specials they have on that day. The first dish which is biscuits with gravy was amazing. You can choose your choice of protein (bacon, sausage, or chorizo) and we went with sausage. First of all, the biscuits were flaky, crumbly, and moist; topped with creamy gravy that had cubed bacon in it. I’m hoping that they will add their biscuits to their permanent menu.The second special dish is similar to one of their regular menu, the only diff is the protein that comes with it. This special comes with chorizo; meanwhile, the regular southern eggs benedict comes with grilled corned beef. The combination of chorizo, brioche, crispy potato cakes, poached eggs, and chipotle hollandaise was fabulous.“

“This is definitely a go-to for us in Newport Beach. While the menu is daunting at first pass, it's also can't-miss. Everything is stellar. To start, consider "table beignets" for your party. Topped with cinnamon caramel apple sauces and crema, they are a perfect brunch starter to share. The crab benedict was delightful, plenty of crab, no skimping. Absolutely devoured the heuvos rancheros and smoked bacon scramble. The biscuit with that was spot-on perfection. Our boy also got the "kids version" of the dipped French toast with berry syrup and whipped cream. (We regretted the sugar intake later, but he loved it.) Only tried breakfast/brunch there so far, but if lunch/dinner is anything like it, we'll be back for many more meals. 5 stars, 10/10 would recommend.Kid-friendliness: They had a high chair ready for us, and the servers were wonderful and interactive with our 1yo son!“
