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
Timothy I.

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
M S.

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.

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
Kalen G.

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.

Pasadena dog with chili, cheese and raw onions.
Rita W.

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.

I can not express how yummy all the food was! There are so many different flavors! Everything was…read moredelicious but if I had to rank, I'd say Singapore Chili Crab and pepper sauce are the top 2 of the ones we tried. She was extremely helpful throughout the process and was not bothered in the least as I had to make some adjustments a few days prior. It was a very smooth process and she answered all my questions. Definitely try her food out. You won't regret it!

We had Marimakan Crabhouse cater my birthday dinner and the experience was absolutely phenomenal…read more The food arrived beautifully prepared and packed with bold, authentic Southeast Asian flavors - truly restaurant-quality catering. We ordered an abundant spread, and every dish impressed. The clear crowd favorite was the Singapore black pepper prawns - fragrant, perfectly spiced, and completely addictive. 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.

Took me awhile to decide on what to order lol. Settled with steak bites, steamed clams, crab and artichoke dip, fried cod and salad with salmon. We loved the steak bites! The extra veggies of onion, peppers and mushrooms were delicious. Steak was tender and flavorful. Clams were meaty and tasted good with crispy cheesy bread to dip in that sauce. Crab dip was also good. My fried cod and fries was really good. Crispy outside and juicy cod inside. Slaw and tartar sauce were all on point. My friends salmon salad was really delicious too. Overall was a great meal. And we also had a slice of lemon cheese cake and salted caramel cake and that was all amazing. So happy to know the restaurant is still in business and good still tasted great. Will return soon

Another lesson about second chances for this Yelper! The first time we visited the Hook (more than…read morea couple years ago), I had some overcooked fish with bland sides and watched from the patio as a hit and run took place in the parking lot (which had nothing to do with the restaurant!). We left and never felt compelled to return. A couple days ago, on a lark and searching for some new-to-us takeout to meet our visiting family's lunch needs, we found ourselves again at the Hook. And what we ordered was so good. So. Good. I ordered the salmon burger, a juicy piece of salmon embraced in a toasted bun with simple lettuce, tomato, and mayo along for the ride. Some weeks ago, I'd had a similar sandwich at a reputed spot in Pike Place market. The Hook's was much better, and I have been thinking about ordering it again for two days now. Their fries were also some of the best I've had in town, and I'm not usually excited about fries. My family all had panko-crusted halibut (fish and chips style), and this, too was shockingly good. It was even tasty and crisp as leftovers reheated in the air fryer! (I know, I know, but who is throwing away fish in this economy?) I am but a humble Yelper and have learned my lesson. If, at first, your fish is dry, (maybe) try again!

It was a choice between this and a couple of chain restaurants for us, and my son picked Mr. T's…read moreMoonshine BBQ. We were there a bit later, just before 8 p.m. on a Monday, and easily got a table right away. I didn't want too much food - at my age I've learned my eyes and stomach are rarely on the same page - but I definitely wanted some brisket...as an amateur smoker I appreciate how much work goes into beef brisket so always try it when I see it on a menu. So I went with the Happy Hour Caesar Salad & Brisket. For $8.50 it was a great value. The fat of the brisket was rendered PERFECTLY. My wife wanted the baked potato but allegedly someone came earlier and bought TWELVE and cleaned them out. Disappointing! But the two street tacos she got off the Happy Hour menu were tasty. My teenager decided to lean in and get the brisket entree. Fries and Mac & cheese as the sides with cornbread. He added some of his brisket to the Mac & cheese and loved it. Fries were crispy (double fried? Or battered?) but didn't get finished - too much food! I had a couple of beers that were good. The tap listing was available on a screen. Service was well-above average. Very friendly. I can imagine this place getting busy during peak hours but it's small enough that they likely can keep up. I doubt we'll be back. We are from out of town and while we come to the Seattle area often I like to try new places whenever possible. But we were very happy with how tonight went. 4.5/5.0 but it won't let me do a halfstar. Give it a try. This isn't a chain restaurant! We were happy to support this one.

Parking lot was packed- but there was one high-top table when we walked in. We grabbed it. Loud bar/pub atmosphere- I'm sure sporting events are fun here. Big bar on one side and 'family' seating on the other with warnings for the under 21's to not cross the border. I got the half rack of ribs and my partner got the pulled chicken sandwich. Also beers. The food arrived fast: nice thing about bbq is that it has to be already prepared so they just have to plate it. The half rack was huge. 6 big ribs, Cesar salad and fries were my sides. So much food. Glad I got the salad. I didn't try the pulled chicken but she got the Mac and cheese as a side and that was really good. Haven't had decent restaurant Mac and cheese in a while. I'd like to know what they make in-house here. The fries felt bought-in...the salad was...good but...uniform? Like maybe out of a bag? I'm prepared to be wrong about that. The barbecue was good. The ' spicy' sauce was sweet and not vey spicy and the 'sweet' sauce was kind of boring: bbq sauces need work. Add a mustard based sauce? All in all we loved it and will definitely go back. $75 all in with tip for two people.
