California Chicken Cafe (Hollywood)
7.8
A longtime Melrose counter-service staple for rotisserie chicken, big salads, and tightly wrapped pita-style sandwiches. It’s mostly takeout with a small outdoor patio that works well for quick meals with a leashed dog. Reliable, healthy-leaning comfort for locals who want speed without sacrificing flavor.
Must-Try Dishes:
Chinese Chicken Salad, Melrose Wrap, Broccoli Pasta Salad
