The Data

Real numbers. Not marketing claims.

Every California restaurant gets the same objective evaluation.

36%
of California restaurants on ROLLIN score 80 or above — meaning verified accessible entry, restroom, and level threshold. California's strong ADA laws help, but plenty of older buildings still fall short.
What We Score

Six features. The ones that actually matter.

Each California restaurant is evaluated on the specific accessibility details wheelchair users need.

Wheelchair Entry

Can you get through the front door? Ramp, level threshold, or wide automatic doors.

Critical

Accessible Restroom

Grab bars, turning radius, accessible stall. The feature most people forget until they need it.

Critical

Level Entry

No steps at the entrance. SF's hills and LA's older neighborhoods make this critical.

Critical

Accessible Parking

Designated accessible parking. In a state where driving is life, this matters everywhere.

Wide Aisles

Enough space between tables to navigate. LA's trendy spots love tight layouts.

Elevator

For multi-level restaurants. That rooftop bar is only accessible if you can get there.

FAQ

Common questions about accessible dining in California

How many wheelchair accessible restaurants are scored in California?
ROLLIN has scored 19,727 restaurants and bars across California — our largest state. Coverage spans SF Bay Area (7,704), LA Metro (6,571), San Diego (2,442), Sacramento (1,379), Inland Empire (907), and Central Coast (724).
Does California have better restaurant accessibility than other states?
California's ADA enforcement is among the strongest in the country, but that doesn't mean every restaurant is accessible. About 36% of California restaurants score 80+. Newer suburban construction tends to score well, while older neighborhoods (SF's Chinatown, LA's Venice boardwalk area) have more gaps.
Is ROLLIN free to use in California?
Yes, completely free. Search, filter, view scores, and save favorites at no cost. No account required. We also offer a free iOS app and a developer API.
Does ROLLIN cover Orange County and the Inland Empire?
Yes. Orange County is included in our LA Metro region (6,571 locations total). The Inland Empire — Riverside and San Bernardino — is its own region with 907 scored locations. Both get the same 0-100 accessibility scoring.
