Great food with a lot of options. Give them a try! I've gotten the double bacon stack and spicy philly stack and both were awesome! Friendly and attentive staff as well, always a great experience. Food takes a minute because it's made fresh and you can tell read more

Cali Stack Burgers & Grill - #49. SPICY PHILLY STACK (AMERICAN CHEESE, PEPPER JACK CHEESE, GRILLED ONIONS, BELL PEPPERS, PHILLY STEAK, CHIPOTLE MAYO) - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Lakeside, California

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

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

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

Food was amazing roadkill nachos were 10/10 service is amazing i recommend this place to 10/10 of my friends and family and i will continue to come back every time i am in town every time. read more

Cali Stack Burgers & Grill - New bar new look employees are amazing - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Lakeside, California

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

We have been exploring different restaurants since we went to Lakeside. We love us a good burger! This place did not disappoint. The burgers were juicy and fresh and flavorful.

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

Food is always fresh. Good sizes for sure. Service is always the best. They go out of their way for you and for requests. I will be back and back and back again! 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

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

Food and service were great! Bbq burger was delicious and fast and friendly service as well

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

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

I stopped going because sometimes it was good.it was hit and miss one time the avocado was totally brown on the burger. So I said no more.

My first time coming here with my friends and let me just say this place didn't stand a chance.. my friends and i ordered our food to go and i sure did bust down on it of course. The service was nice because we were the only ones in there. The ambience of this place is cool because you can watch the games while you literally eating your food.

Hear me out, reviews come n go. However, this place stunningly ROCKS! Same price, mostly less expensive as others. However, THE QUALITY of the final product is what matters.

Stopped by after seeing the street advertising flags so much I had to finally try it. Before me and my girlfriend went in we checked the yelp reviews to see if it would be a waste of time only because we are really hungry and didn't want the normal fast food slop. After checking the up reviews and seen the 4.5 stars, we were excited to try it out. I got the bacon cheeseburger Callie stack and was not disappointed for thick slices of bacon on a hefty patty and a delicious soft bun. My girlfriend got the spicy chicken sandwich and she was also not disappointed. If she says it's spicy then it's definitely spicy. She almost finished it but had a great snack for later alongside our garlic fries. We shared a garlic fries with the garlic sauce on the side as a dipping sauce it was amazing!! Good spot for that home cooked burger feel!! read more

I have driven by this place numerous times and wasn't really interested in walking in. It just doesn't have the attractants on the outside however I decided to conduct a stress test. I ordered simple Cali burger, but I wanted it uniquely made, and I made several different attempts at different types of payments just to see the level And it was amazing. The young lady at the counter cool calm collective the entire time Then once it was paid for I asked several questions regarding to the menu and she still remain calm. My order arrived shortly after I got a buzz on a device that they handed to me and with a smile, she hand me my plate I began to devour this creation, only defined amazing delightfulness in every bite. Good job if I could give more stars I would this test is complete thank you. I would definitely say the ambience was great as well definitely filling the empty appetite and with a smile and true compassion this place reaches the max stars. Furthermore, would highly recommend this place for families as well . read more
