It looks so slick when it's new, before that furnace of an oven beneath it has warped it and given it a yellow tint... but more importantly, new items!
The appetizers have been re-vamped to be more of a mix-and-match situation, and we've added a few things. Might I particularly recommend the lemon pepper chicken nuggets. Sandwich and salads have also been updated with new puns. The Jayne Cobb Salad and Deep House Salad are out, due to unpopularity (even though I found the names hilarious) but in are: the Leaf Ericson, the Tom Tom Club, the Anton La Vegan and the Mötley Crüton.
The California Chicken, which is actually the sandwich I get most often, is still called that because I haven't been able to come up with a good chicken pun.
The California Über Olive is still probably my favorite of all of these names. You know, Jello Biafra has been here a bunch of times, so I wonder if he's ever noticed it up there. And I wonder if he's ever ordered it. And I wonder if whichever punk rock kid was working the register even recognized him. Because whichever way that scenario played out, it would have been hilarious.
Some photos:
A. So gonna get a c&d from Anton laveys estate again, and B. Ceasar salads don’t use spring mix. They use Romaine. Or it’s not a Ceasar salad. So much attention to detail, and no one has fixed that yet?
No love for Cobb salads?! The king of salads?! What is wrong with you people!
and by ‘you people’ I was referring to your patrons – not you, who had the good taste to offer a Cobb to begin with.
The design of the sign reminds me of ST:TNG.
Well, there is a precedence for that.

Probably drives away the customers who are on an LCARBS free diet, though.
The California Chicken sandwich is pretty darn good! Ate there yesterday
…moping.
yes,
Spitballing some chicken puns:
The Poultrygeist
The Starbuck-buck-bucAW! (along the same lines… ¡A-Pollo!)
White (Meat) Minority
The Foghorn
The Pullet Surprise.
I have to cast my vote (I get a vote, right?) for The Foghorn. Excellent double meaning, but I wonder if people that weren’t kids in the 70’s would get the chicken reference.
Impressed that you serve not one but two potato pizzas. So that’s it. I’m gonna have to try them both.
At first I thought happy hour was 1 dollar of all beef. Maybe you should consider adding that.
Amoroso rolls! Actual Amoroso, imported from the east coast? How do you manage that and not have them dead stale? Is the Amoroso supply chain reaching to SF now?
Bok Rogers = The California Chicken. Consider appending “tentacle” after the word “chicken” in the menu description and you’re almost done. Also, bock (beer) mustard?
I love the ‘California Uber Olive’
