San Francisco has all types of burgers available at many different restaurants. The burgers can range from fast foods like Mc Donald's like their Mc Arch to king of fast food burgers also known as Burger King ( who says there are no kings). Then there are smash burgers which has been the craze for a few years already. Then there are burgers known for their sauce like the animal style sauce at In-N-Out . Burgers in SF can get cheesy . Everybody has any reason to say it's a better burger whether it's for the purple onions, pickles , or buns. There is a place which serves the Cali Burger. On a West Portal stroll there is a burger place which sells the Cali Burger. The Cali Burger means fresher ingredients usually locally sourced in California. Calibur is the place to get an organic grass fed burger. I got the double cheese burger with Calibur sauce. It was tasty and it had great flavor along with a soft bun. The fresh grass fed cheese burger pairs well to eat with cheese fries in SF. The fries were crispy and saucy and got a bit messy. Calibur also sells chili cheese dogs along with different flavors of shake including Neapolitan. Overall a good place to fresh grass fed cheese burger on a bun. You can get organic beef that's grass "fed"with Calibur sauce "spread" and a soft fresh bun "bread"although they don't have onion rings or purple onions you can get raw with yellow onions or the onions that are "red" The organic ingredients locally grown under the California "sun" get a grass fed cheeseburger medium or well "done" take a shot with Calibur and I ain't talking about a weapon like a "gun" but get something loaded with beef and cheese on a "bun" read more

I was pretty sad after reading all the raving reviews of this place. I ordered through DoorDash and did a pick up, but maybe that's why the burger was just okay? Might have gotten soggy during transportation. The burger itself tastes like a burger I'd make at home. Maybe it's healthy?? Haha What saved my experience was probably the shoestring fries. They gave you a very generous amount of fries for cheap! Maybe I'll come back to try to dine in. But for now, I'll pass on this spot. read more

I've never seen a place offer chili and garlic fries but serve the chili and garlic on the side. It came across as lazy, but I guess it can also be efficient for the staff. Not sure if the cashier was not paying attention or if it was too big of an order, but a few of our burgers were messed up and missing things that we requested like grilled onions instead of raw and pickles. The burger was manageable. Although the sauces came on the side, the fries were cooked well. As we were eating, a line started to form. But instead of acknowledging them, a guy came out from the back with his hoodie on and focused on packing to-go orders. When he was done, we greeted them at the cashier. He did not look happy at all. It was a good try and it was my fiancee's fave spot once upon a time, but i don't understand what's so good about this place. read more

Calibur - Burgers Near Me - San Francisco, California

We stopped by for a late dinner before a movie. They close at 9pm and we arrived at 8:30pm, not ideal but we agreed to eat at the table quick while the servers cleaned up. I'm not sure if it's because we came at this time, I thought the burger was okay. I got a double cheeseburger with all the fixings and cheddar. They had fresh fixings, but it was fine. The fries were crispy and good. I was surprised that when I ordered the calibur fries with the sauce and caramelized onions, everything was on the side and I had to assemble it, and again, it was okay. The prices are really high to justify the meal. The space was clean, there's indoor tables and there seems to be an outdoor area. The vibe was that the people working there were trying to do their side work and get out asap. Considering the price and quality of food, it wasn't my favorite read more

Everything that could go wrong with these delivery apps actually went wrong and they were not willing to accommodate! Unacceptable and the sad thing is the restaurant gets only a percentage! I'm gonna figure out a way to start a petition to cancel all delivery apps starting with Grubhub! The Restaurants should get 100% in my humble opinion. What went right was when I called Calibur to just cancel the order and that I would eat the cost, the amazing owner refused and offered to deliver my order himself! Wait whaaaat?? I was so grateful beyond belief! I tried to tip him again and he refused! The Burgers and Garlic Fries were absolutely amazing! We should support all small businesses for always! 1000% my family and I will be FOREVER customers for life!! Thanks so much!! read more

Some of he best fries in SF hands down. We got the garlic fries and the calibur fries (like animal style)! And they both blew us away with flavor. The best garlic fries I have ever had bc garlic was cooked all the way down and super concentrated with that garlic flavor so savory & tantalized my taste buds. My guy said the burger was amazing made with high quality beef a 5/5. The only thing that fell flat was the veggie burger it was very lackluster and they didn't add my cheese which costs extra. Milk shake wasn't great either... got malted but it was still runny and the malt wasn't dissolved it was tiny for the price. The portions here are average except for the fries( big), I would personally only return for fries! read more

Ordered via delivery and it's my first time trying Calibur. We ordered the double burger (lettuce wrapped) with tallow fries and wow did it hit the spot. Everything was super fresh and tasted soooo good. The burgers were nicely wrapped as well. Will definitely order here again! Gotta try the milkshakes next time too. read more

Rating: 4.5 I was craving burgers and found this place on Uber Eats. I was lured in by the attractive pictures of the burger and the bogo deal. I was really impressed that when my burger arrived, it really looked just like the picture and I was excited to dig in. The buns were soft and stayed perfect in the box. The burger flavor is reminiscent to In-n-out with the sauce. There was a decent amount of fries. I would go back to try the burger and fries fresh in person to get a more accurate experience but I still enjoyed my food as delivery. The neopolitan milkshake was also good. I was actually not a big fan of the Calibur ketchup though, it was more like marinara sauce. read more

Uber eats buy 1 get one free 1 deal brought me here for the first time. I keep hearing good things about Calibur and a BOGO deal made it even easier to come try it for the first time. I ordered the double burger with extra calibur sauce on the side. When my food arrived, there was no cheese even though the picture in the description clearly showed cheese on the Double Burger. A little misleading in my opinion but it is what it is. I should have read the description before I placed my order because cheese is an extra add on for $1.50 per slice In terms of size, I'd compare and say it's bigger than an In-n-out double double. I got the sauce on the side. Without sauce and cheese, I though the burger itself wasn't bad at all if I'm being honest. A little dry but not bad if you're avoiding dairy or egg. That's assuming the calibur sauce is made with mayonnaise. When I added the calibur sauce, it definitely elevated the burger. I think the calibur sauce is up there with the other local burger spot sauces. It's subtle but still packs enough flavor. Tangy and smooth that makes it a great add on to the burger. The sauce saved the day. After tax & tip, for a double burger with 2 slices of american cheese, anticipate to pay around $22. If you're in the mood to try something new, I wouldn't hesitate to give this a shot. read more

Just okay, but not what I'd choose if I wanted a burger. You can 100% taste of the quality of the beef, but that's about where things start going downhill. The patties are on the small side and cooked definitely more on the well side. The buns don't match the patty size so you're getting a large mismatch of too-much-bun to too-little-meat. The burger also leans on the dry side, and the shakes...well, they remind me of the same flavor as the old strawberry milk we used to drink. It's that sticky, artificial sweet flavor. The fries were at least crispy? read more

Hands down by far the best burger joint/place in the city of San Francisco, the patty is cooked to perfection and overall one of the most balanced burgers I've had in the city. Give this place a try if you're ever around the Sunset/West portal area, burger and milkshake combo would be perfect on any beautiful day in the city. read more

Calibur - SINGLE BURGER CALIBUR FRIES - Burgers Near Me - San Francisco, California

I came here one weekend for lunch and got their double burger which comes with 1/2 pound ground beef, on a brioche bun with lettuce, tomato, onion and the calibur sauce. The burger was good and had nice flavor. I also got their tallow fries, which were quite nice. I also got a side of their calibur sauce and their homemade ketchup. The calibur sauce reminds me of a mild thousand island sauce. Their homemade ketchup was a little sweet but it went well with the fries. Overall, good food and will be back. read more

The Burger was a disappointment. Not much taste, you can tell there is no seasoning on it. Bread fell apart, making it a mess , bread was average. The fries were good , a good amount as well. The garlic sauce was good. The milkshake I had was good ! Very thick and creamy. Nice clean place. Very relaxed vibe. A little pricey. read more

Not sure what the hype is about this place...however, I can say it is a decent, no nonsense inexpensive, neighborhood place for burgers. I definitely think it is a step up from In and Out, with some fancy burger options. It is very popular--it got crowded for the dinner rush. Since it was my first visit, I ordered a simple cheeseburger and fries. Counter service, limited outdoor seating in a parklet and just a couple of tables out in front. The downside side is that it can be hard to hear your name called when your order is ready. Overall burger experience was good--it was tasty and the fries were crisp and not greasy. I'll come back to try something else in the menu. read more

Tried this place out on Door dash during the happy hour special. These burgers are great. Joins the ranks of other great burgers in the city. The chili cheese fries were phenomenal as well. Will have to check this place out in person sometime, but for the meantime, I'll be ordering from Door dash! read more

It is exactly as represented. Hot fresh burger and fries. Two young people pleasant and professional working the front as the back end churns out orders. So. Many. To. Gos. Wow. Garlic fries were slammin! A bonus that the garlic sauce is on the side, generous portion as well. Priced about the same as Super Duper with more fries! No pictures cause we wolfed it down too fast. read more

So this is what fast food costs you these days. $30 for: * Cheeseburger; * BLT; * Fries (cooked in Tallow, vegans beware); and an * IPA As my order was rung up at the counter I noticed the 25 cent bag charge being added. "Oh, we're eating here" I remarked only to learn that all orders are bagged "to go". In fairness, Calibur has removed all of their indoor seating (I know not why). A couple small tables and a parklet are just outside the door. Still, a tray would be my preference over paying for and wasting a bag. So I sat at a table out front, opened my bag, and ate. About the cheeseburger, here is what was said: "I like In N' Out's better" then "but this is still good". About my BLT, "It's good, if a bit bread-y". And about the fries, of which there was a very large portion served piping hot, "wow, we need more catsup" then "we're not going to finish all of these". Who doesn't finish fries? It's a very generous serving of tasty fries. So the word "good" was bandied around a lot here. I've no burning desire to return but if I were again in the area looking for something quick to order and appear, Caliber would be a decent option. read more

Parking on West Portal can be rather hit or miss these days. We parked about a block away which isn't so bad. I had never been so I went with a single with all the fixins and upgraded my onions to the grilled ones. The bun is so super soft. The party is definitely quality meat. Had to try their signature "Caliber sauce", and it was pretty good. It didn't wow me though. D2 got a cheeseburger with Swiss and grilled onions, minus tomato. She enjoyed her cheeseburger. We shared the tallow fries, which was a more than generous portion however I'm not a fan. I felt like the fries were dry, to the point where they almost tasted overcooked. No indoor seating. 2 small tables along the sidewalk and a parklet out front. read more

A fresh and filling burger! The meat tastes of high quality (grass fed beef). I liked the onions and Calibur house sauce. One area of improvement for the burger would be to decrease the amount of oil/grease collected on the wrapping though Chocolate milkshake was nice thick consistency and solid flavor. Straw was a bit flimsy to use until the shake melted through a bit Staff was friendly and efficient. On a weeknight dinner it only took 5-7 minutes to get my burger ready. Outdoor seating only or I saw many people doing to-go or delivery orders read more

Literally sitting outside writing this review cause it's so good. I had to come back after my fiancée and I tried it off of DoorDash last weekend that it was still on my mind this week. Burger is juicy, bun is soft, fries have a nice bite. You have to ask for the Calibur ketchup and add it to your burger & fries because that's the highlight for me. I don't really like condiments but something about their ketchup keeps me hooked. It reminds me of minestrone soup with some fresh blended/mashed tomatoes. Jr cheese burger & fries for $9.99 is more than enough to fill you. I definitely recommend this place over Beeps or any other burger in SF. Small store, with minimal outdoor seating. Parking along the street or neighborhood. Easy place to order and go. read more

Calibur - DOUBLE BURGER - Burgers Near Me - San Francisco, California

I ordered a burger from caliber. A jr burger with Vegan fries. It was a 4 out of 5. It was fine. A little cold, but after all, I had it delivered. I reheated the fries, with was a trade off since that made them soggy, but they were room temp, before. It wasn't the first time I had a burger at Calibur, & probably won't be my last, but that's 4 out of 5. read more

I asked for no cheese on my burger so they charged me $1.00 more without asking nor telling me. That's how they do business. FYI, nothing special about their "tallow" fries, might as welll go to McDonald's. Their "caliber" sauce is just a less flavorful rip-off of in and out. If you don't have time to drive to in-n-out I guess you can always pay more for less flavor. read more

Beware, doesn't seem like the restaurant checks the quality of the lettuce that is being used. I've gotten delivery from Calibur in West Portal numerous times before. This most recent time will be my last unfortunately. I am still on the mend from mild food poisoning from a salad I ordered. Who knows if the lettuce in the burgers was bad too. Definitely explains why I've felt sick for the back half of this week. Here was the leftover lettuce in my fridge last night. The yellow spring mix (not normal) had come like that when it got delivered. I suppose I should have known by the smell from the lettuce, but I trusted that the restaurant would have good food quality and processes in place to make sure only fresh ingredients go to the customer. I was wrong. read more

Calibur - Rotting lettuce, yuck - Burgers Near Me - San Francisco, California

**Calibur - A Burger Lover's Paradise** Nestled in a prime location with a whole block dedicated to food, Calibur is where true burger enthusiasts come to indulge. As soon as we walked in, we knew this spot meant business. No need for flashy decor--the menu is the star here. Grass-fed, grass-finished beef, topped with real cheese, is what sets these burgers apart. I went all in with two doubles, one with bacon, and they barely lasted five minutes. Every bite was pure bliss. The service was on point, too--after my purchase, they let me in on the secret bathroom in the back, which is a lifesaver in a city like San Francisco. My wife's already planning our return for the French fries fried in oil, which we didn't get to try this time. If you're a burger aficionado, don't skip this spot. Calibur's got the goods! read more

It was a nice hole in the wall casual joint in west portal. Service was quick. Wanted to try something outside of my normal spots and this looked good on yelp. Ordered a single burger everything on it plus pickles. Sadly this fell flat for me. The bun was soft/spongy (no texture), little Calibur sauce, under seasoned patty, and nothing left to be desired for. The garlic fries were just ok. The garlic sauce was on the side but very strong so we tossed a little with parmesan on the side. Not bad after we doctored it up. Overall glad we tried it to know definitely not coming back for 2 single burgers and 1 garlic fries for $32. I'll stick to my In&Out or even Nations. read more

I came in to pick up some burgers for dinner. The staff were nice but they clearly did not pay attention to my order. I specifically asked for no cheese for one burger two times, checked my order with them before I left...came home and every burger had cheese on them. LOL, maybe next time I shouldn't order a Jr cheeseburger & fries.... It wasn't a big deal, we just scrapped it off. My little niece made a face but she didn't complain too much. The burger was still good! She's a picky eater and just didn't like cheese on her hamburger patties. Oh well, lesson learned. No ordering Jr cheeseburger and fries next time! This was on a Tuesday night after work. Friday shenanigans on a Tuesday! read more

Overall decent food, I enjoyed the fries (although the loaded fries weren't worth it in my opinion). Pretty casual spot with fast service! read more

Me and my wife ordered through Uber Eats with a promotion buy 1 get 1 free, it didn't specify anywhere nothing else. It says buy one get one free, any of this items, choose which one, etc add beverage (also says buy 1 get 1 free) and I got only one burger and one shake. I called uber and they told me to call the restaurant, and I call the restaurant and a girl said oh the promotion is only on double burgers. Which is not specified on the app, regardless of whoever mistake it is, it's not mine, I bought a legit promotion and I got scammed. A shame the experience I'm getting as a first time customer at this store. By the way the milkshake was way too melted. Thank you for letting us pay for a meal that now anyways we ve to order all over again. read more

My order was the triple-burger with calibur fries, I had this delivered to me so I can't describe the ambiance or the service of the place. The burger was not great, dry and overcooked, I'm not sure if thats how it's supposed to be, but that's how mine turned out. Really nothing special about the burger. The fries however were pretty good, the onions and the calibur sauce mix very well together. The only reason I'm not rating it lower is because I did not go in person and only experienced the food. I personally would not go again, but it would be nice to have if visiting sf and wanted something different than the usual. read more

I ordered a junior cheeseburger & fries to go. I ordered swiss cheese, pickles, lettuce and caliber sauce on my cheeseburger. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was soo delicious. The junior cheeseburger meal was super filling too just for $10. I wouldn't bother ordering a side of the calibur sauce or ketchup though, a very acquired taste. The ranch was good though, would pay the $1 for it again. The food was ready for pick up right at the time they said it would be, very accurate! I will be coming back here for burgers, affordable and delicious. read more
