    Food-Hot and fresh Ambience -Rushed Service- self service The closest thing to In-n out you will get in Washington. Highly recommend this place if you're missing a little bit of So Cal Bon Appetite

    Cali single cheeseburger

    Located in the Alderwood Mall food court, you order on a touch screen kiosk. They have burgers, chicken and plant based burgers, fries and sweet potato fries. They call your name when your order is ready. Food is hot and cooked according to your order. You can choose extra tomatoes, onions, grilled onions or avocado to your sandwich. Serving sizes was perfect for a day at the mall. There was lots of seating available in the food court. I would visit Caliburgers again the next time in the Seattle area.

    Chicken fingers and fries

    The chicken is super! They are crispy and spicy with the perfect amount of breading! The fries are thin and crispy! The service was fast! Definetly recommended

    Grilled baja BBQ chicken

    Ordered a Baja BBQ grilled chicken burger, but they gave me the wrong order by mistake. Luckily they were more than happy to fix it. But in the end it was just an OK burger. Far from the worst I've had, but not quite something I'd pay $8.99 for. Overall not terrible, just one minor setback coupled with so-so food. Maybe not a bad choice if you're willing to give it a try and want a bit of Golden Coast vibes.

    I've never had any CaliBurger before, so I wasn't sure what to expect or really what to compare it too, but this was certainly not an enjoyable experience, which is too bad, because there were a lot of options that sounded good, and the food itself wasn't bad. I put my order in on one of their kiosks. That made it quick and easy to customize. I love having those kiosks to make my decisions on and see what comes on a burger, so it was a good start. I step away and someone else gets their order taken, then someone struggles with the kiosk and gets their order taken as well. Good- both options are necessary. Next, someone actually does put in an order on the kiosk. I now notice where the order is printed, and that mine is still sitting there untouched. It's been 5 minutes. This is when it starts going downhill. During those 5 minutes, there is one worker taking orders- good. Another worker very slowly making one burger and basically just standing over the grill- fine, but not good. And a third worker is... scooping oil from one fryer and putting it in the other one? I honestly cannot figure out what they're doing. The worker taking orders is able to step away and notices the kiosk tickets. They take the tickets and put them on the line behind the verbal orders. It's now been 10 minutes before my order is even looked at. Burger worker does eventually start making more burgers at once... eventually, while the order-taker is doing the rest of the work; getting drinks, frying fries and chicken, prepping buns, prepping bags. Still have no clue what the last worker is doing, but they do disappear for a few minutes to the back- not long enough for a break or anything. It's 20-something minutes by the time I get my order. Only half of that was actual cooking/prep time. The food was fine. It was nothing special, it was nothing worth that ridiculous wait. This is a quick food stop at a mall with sit-down restaurant times. My partner had already paid, gotten, and eaten his meal by the time I was handed mine. By the way, they also left the pickles on after I put none. It says "no pickles" on the receipt. Normally, that would just be a little annoying and not bother me a whole lot, but people rarely consider the fact that allergies are possible. Luckily, that's not the case with me and I can take them off, but it certainly doesn't help my opinion after everything. If it had been someone with a severe allergy, then it would likely be another 20+ minutes for a fresh order.

    The burger and fries were so-so. I've had better, but I've also had much worse. It's nice for a quick pickup. Only one guy was working in the back, killing it.

    Calidouble Cheeseburger, Crispy Malibu, Cali Style Fries

    Yeah, it's me again. So, I stopped in here since I heard this is the closest thing I'll get to In-N-Out in Washington State, and I was impressed. This location is in the food court and you order on a kiosk. I had tried a risky Malibu BLT Chicken, a Cali Double and the "Cali Style" Fries (if you know In-N-Out, you know what I mean. Excellent. All three, excellent. I may have to venture down to Oregon to compare this place to In-N-Out. I'm afraid, as strange as it feels to say this, I think this place is better. 10/10, coming here again.

    Louise R.

    This a great addition to shoreline! Reminds me of In N Out in Southern California but no comparison. Burger -fresh crunchy veggies, oowey cheese, soft bun really good. Now the Cali fries I was not a fan of, looked like queso cheese and a huge amount of really thick sauce (maybe their signature sauce) next time regular fries for me. I will give them a second try, burger was delicious.

    French Fries

    In Seattle, this is probably the closest thing you can get to In-N-Out. I absolutely love In-N-Out, but by all means that doesn't mean that Cali Burger is close to In-N-Out's level whatsoever. Out of all the places to eat in the food court at Alderwood Mall, for some reason I always gravitate towards Cali Burger. I mean, they're alright, but I usually get some french fries, and a cali double burger with bacon and grilled onions. Presentation wise, everything looks pretty similar to In-N-Out, but taste wise, not so much. The burger is kind of bland and really lacks texture and flavors. I really wished the buns were toasted, but I do appreciate the generous amount of lettuce. The fries on the other hand are pretty good though. They're pretty crisp and have a very delicous and generous amount of seasoning! Overall, everything is just alright, but still satisfies my needs. It definetly is the closest substitute to In-N-Out up here in Washington, but again, nothing like In-N-Out.

    the mall reopened a week ago so I wandered in and ended up in the food court. I haven't been to the food court in a very long time and realized I hadn't had a caliburger in a very long time too. the menu has been expanded. the workers are still very friendly. the burgers are still cooked to order and piping hot off the grill. the Pasadena burger is perfect: double meat, cheese, onion, snd and no unnecessary veggies.

    Bunless double cheeseburger. Had to eat with a knife and fork. They didn't have plasticware so we had to hunt around the other restaurants.

That black pepper sauce was hands down the star of the meal: rich, peppery, and deeply flavorful. It was my favorite and could easily be eaten on everything. The Mala curry crab and XO crab were both outstanding; layered with complex, indulgent flavors. The Thai green chili clams and saus mentega clams were vibrant and comforting, while the crab fried rice had generous morsels of crab folded throughout the dish. We also really enjoyed the Indonesian chicken wings, which were crispy and flavorful, and the stir-fried vegetables, which added a fresh, well-balanced contrast to the seafood-heavy menu. Everything traveled well, was thoughtfully prepared, and made for an unforgettable catered meal. If you're considering catering from Marimakan Crabhouse, I can't recommend it highly enough. Get the black pepper sauce! Amazing from start to finish, and Chef V or Rachel is lovely to work with.

With coleslaw, pickles, red onion, tomatoes, and a soft bun, every bite was a total delight 12 Spice Fries -- Their house-made 12‑spice seasoning is incredible! These fries are dangerously good; I don't think I ever want another kind of fry again Japanese Mayo -- Our dip of choice for both the burger and fries.

In long This place has great word of mouth and I'm glad I finally got to check it out. I tried 2 things, and, so far, the menu seems to be executed very well. The whole menu looks crazy promising, so this is an excellent sign. I came in for a late lunch on a summer Friday during World Cup. A few folks were watching the game--there were a handful of gasps for great shots and saves. But most of the scattered crowd was there for a leisurely lunch (or beer). They have a solid tap lineup with lots of dependable local favorites, and the tender knew quite a few people by name *and* by beer preference as soon as they sat down. Said she had been there over 5 years. Great vibe, lots of happy customers. It probably gets kinda loud in here when it's packed--you can tell from the photos that everything is concrete and wood and whatnot. No acoustic baffling that I could see. Easy to clean, though, and it was definitely just pleasant and sociable the whole time I was there. I got the Blue Burger with a cup of clam chowder. You can tell the soup is scratch, nice little dicing on the potatoes and veg, decent amount of clams. Comes with the oyster crackers that some of us have loved for decades. The burger is hearty--thick patty, thick stack of veg, squishy thickish bun. Easy enough to eat but without a doubt it's the opposite of a smashburger. I know, I know. This is a seafood joint. You can tell from the fake seagulls right by the front door. But it's been ages since I had a burger, and at least I tried the chowder. Everything was easily good enough to come back and see how the water side of the menu is. I was in and out for a fair price, and never doubted that everything would be very good. And that's exactly how it turned out. I'll happily be back.
