Our first time visiting and we were blown away! The counter staff was friendly and helpful since we were first timers. We had the bacon cheese burger, the gyro stack burger, onion rings, and the Parmesan garlic fries. The burgers were juicy and flavorful with plenty of bacon. The gyros burger was piled with yummy slices of gyros meat and tzatziki sauce. Grab some napkins cuz this is a messy one! The onion rings were very good and the Parmesan garlic fries seriously delicious! Not just a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and a little bit of garlic on top, it was covered in a delicious sauce! You certainly don't need ketchup for these fries! But if you want sauce, they have homemade ranch dressing and Cali sauce. The interior was definitely casual with plenty of sports on tv. We loved it and will be back! I'm already craving that gyros burger! read more

Service was amazing. We took our whole baseball team here and the owner personally took care of us. Even brought in extra staff to speed up the service. The food was amazing. I recommend the spicy Philly stack. Would definitely come back here next time we are in town. Side note.....need to open more of these places up in Utah. read more

Took my son out to have his very first cheesesteak this morning. The place is very clean and looks awesome. Multiple TVs where you can watch The World Cup, and the food was awesome. The owner could not have been nicer to a father and son just splitting a cheesesteak. He gave recommendations for our next visit and my son already asked me when we can go back. Excellent cheesesteak, and they have so many burger options available. Just go. Great grub and nice people. Isn't that what you want? read more

AMAZING BURGERS AND SERVICE!!! Me and my man can in on a Saturday at 1:30 pm. There wasn't any body there so we had no wait and the gentleman who helped us was really nice and refilled our drinks when we didn't even ask. I will 100% be coming back here! Especially since they have tvs showing games and the decorations had chargers!!! Yes sir! read more

Had I known that the chicken sandwich burger were just chicken tenders slapped on between the buns, I would not have ordered it. The fries are always solid here but other than that, my meal was disappointing. There wasn't anything wrong with the chicken tenders either, they were standard - maybe a bit on the thin side. Just doesn't belong on a sandwich imo! read more

The reviews drew me and my husband in to try it, but was very disappointed... Burgers were bland pre frozen patties and the buns were stale, my bottom bun was so hard I had to discard. Only saving grace were the fries... Both had sour tummies later that same day. read more

Cali Stack has become our favorite hidden gem burger spot in East County. We discovered it on a whim one day when we didn't feel like sitting in a 40 minute drive-thru line, and we're glad we did. The burgers are consistently great, made with fresh ingredients and cooked just right. The fries and shakes are excellent, and they've recently added cold beer on tap, which is a nice bonus. There's plenty of seating, and the large TVs throughout the restaurant make it a great place to catch a game while enjoying a meal. If you're looking for a solid burger spot with good food, a relaxed atmosphere, and no hassle, this place is definitely worth checking out. read more

If you're looking for real-deal comfort food, get the Loaded Roadkill Fries (#37). Loaded to the brim with chili, melted cheese, sour cream, guacamole, and jalapeños.

My friends and I golf quite regularly in Lakeside. And we are always looking for a great place to eat afterwards. This place has become our new favorite. The food is fresh and delicious. The service is great... Everyone is very helpful. Inside it's very pleasant and it has lots of TVs for sports, etc. We have really enjoyed the burgers, fries, and the wings are incredibly good. We judge most places by their onion rings. These are some of the best onion rings we've had throughout the entire county. They have a large menu with lots of options. I took a couple of the cheesesteaks home for my sister and husband... And they loved them. They also have shakes, ice cream and a display case filled with these fabulous looking brownies. Can't say how good they are... Because I've been able to hold off up until now. But I'm pretty sure next time some of those brownies are coming home with me. They have beer and wine. And lots of other beverage options. They seem to have quite a number of local beers on tap. The owner said that he's starting a happy hour soon... It will be 20% off of everything from 2 to 6 PM. The prices are pretty reasonable as is, so this will be a great option. Go and enjoy. And if you see a bunch of women who look like they just finished golfing... Be sure to say hi. read more

Good food at great prices. Friendly and accommodating staff. Ordered #29 that here on Yelp says comes with fries. Upon discovering no fries when I got back home they said they'd give me the fries since it's a mixup on Yelp's end. read more

Had to grab a quick bite before a road trip out of San Diego. I checked Yelp as usual and came across Cali Stack (was actually wondering about the place a while back) Glad I did because it was quick fresh and delicious. Tons of stuff on the menu,.. burgers, chicken, hot dogs,. Onion rings, fries, etc.. and the prices were perfect.. cold beer on tap or bottle, soda.. all kinds of good stuff. Thank you guys I'll definitely be back!! read more

Got the #1 CaliBurger and a chocolate milkshake. First time walking in it gave me truck stop vibes. The young man at the counter was nice and friendly. When I got home the burger was really fresh and was really good. A bit much sauce but, in all fairness every where puts too much sauce on for me. The bacon was really tasty and the buns were great. The shake was amazing it had chocolate syrup drizzled inside the cup for presentation. It impressed me. I should have taken pictures.‍ If I took one now it would have to be of how fat my sister, husband and I got eating the food. Also the prices were reasonable actually less expensive than Carls Jr. Fresher ingredients than Carl's Jr. as well. read more

Was in the area and wanted to try something local. Went with Cali burger, and was better than expected. Bacon was thick and plentiful. Interior of place could use an update. Service was fast and friendly. Overall decent place to hit up of your around the area. read more

The food was really good but the customer service was not. My dad wanted me to try this place and actually treated me to it. The person who took my order was sweet and got everything right but when I went to pick up my order it felt awkward. I wasn't greeted or offered ranch or ketchup for our fries/onion rings and had to request my drink as i was given the bag of food alone. Will try again and update the review if anythjng changes. read more

We finally ate here tonight and I'm so glad we did. The burgers were a 10/10. I got nacho cheese on my fries and it was incredible. The service was great and the place was clean.

We wanted to try Cali stack for dinner, so I went onto the toast app and ordered a curbside pickup order. I ordered the grilled chicken teriyaki sandwich with no lettuce and no onion, my husband ordered the Mac n cheese chicken sandwich and we got an order of chili cheese tater tots to share. We arrived to pick up the order but we could not see a sign for curbside pickup, so my husband got out and went into the restaurant to grab the order. Our food was hot and fresh and nicely packed, although they did not give us any napkins. My grilled chicken teriyaki sandwich was delicious and I would definitely order it again. My husband's Mac n cheese fried chicken sandwich was underwhelming. My husband said that it looked like a frozen chicken patty like you'd get at jack in the box and there was barely any Mac n cheese on the sandwich. My husband said he would not order that sandwich again but he would try something else next time. We both liked the chilli cheese tater tots. Overall, a tasty meal and we would for sure go back again abd try something else they have to offer. read more
