This place has quickly worked it's way towards the top of our favorites. Formerly, California Burgers...a Greek burger stand that folded...California Grill Express (or CGX) has gutted the former burger joint, installed beer taps, and redid the menu.
Come in from the east entrance and it still looks like a burger stand pretty much but once you're asked "here or to go," upon answering "here" you're ushered over to the small but comfortable dining room or their very nice patio and you're waited on instead of ordering at the counter.
We're slowly working through the menu. The burger is one of the best and just about a dollar more that a premium burger at Carl's Jr. gets you this very juicy and expertly prepared half pound patty.
For a couple of dollars more, you can make it a combo and add a side and a drink, such as this order of parmesan zucchini, fries, or one of the several very good craft brews on tap.
Letty likes this tuna salad to go with her hefeweizen.
It's all very good. Great food and service along with prices just a bit north of the old burger stand it replaced puts it well up the list for our Tuesday night getaways.
California Grill Express is at 353 East Foothill Boulevard in Azusa.
