Blue Cheese Burger
Courtney C.

Came to Wunder Garden for The Office Trivia event this Friday and while we came too late to participate we figured we'd at least grab a drink and a bite. My friend and I were directed to the food truck outside. Never heard of CaliBurger prior but I can never turn down a good burger. Typical with many businesses post Covid you had to scan a barcode for the menu, which is limited at this location. I went with the blue cheese burger, my friend got the double and we shared an order of fries. They don't ask you how you want your burger cooked which can be a gamble but in this case it didn't matter so much because of the thinness of the Pattie's. We headed to the bar to order drinks while we waited and the food was ready by the time we made it back. My burger was perfectly seasoned and juicy. It had blue cheese, bacon, pickles and a sauce that I honestly couldn't name but paired well with the blue cheese. The fries were hot and crispy but nothing crazy to note. They do have options for "fancier" fries but I like to stick to basics when I'm doing a lot with my burger. My friend enjoyed her burger as well and while initially hesitant about having to get a double because of the limited menu she was happy with it. I'd def go back and hope to try more items on the menu before they sell out.

The food truck is currently parked by the tidal basin, near the MLK DC Circulator stop. It seems to be there daily. There are several trucks in the area. The french fries are the least expensive ($6) from the other trucks. They are decent, without being great. The vendor will give you extra ketchup packets, if needed. My guest liked the burger. It was pricey but so were the other food trucks. If you didn't pack a snack, the food trucks are convenient while sight seeing around the cherry blossoms.

Recently, the Caliburger Food Truck came to our building. We had the option of ordering our food in advance plus selecting a pick-up time. Instead, we decided to go to the truck when they opened at 4 p.m. It turned out that we were the first to get there. We placed our orders with the friendly man at the window. In 10 minutes, our food was ready. We both ordered the same thing --- The Caliburger Double, which consists of: "Cheddar, grilled onions, lettuce, pickles, tomato and Cali sauce". In addition, we each got fresh cut fries. The burgers were $8 each and the fries were $4 each. We enjoyed our meal. The burger held together when we ate it. The burgers were thin and cooked medium well. We appreciated that the Cali sauce didn't overtake the burger. Rather, all the ingredients worked well together with none of them overpowering the other. The fries were very well prepared---crispy on the outside and soft inside. They were still hot when we brought them upstairs and were seasoned with salt and some pepper. Fries are at their best when fresh, which makes it tempting to fill up on them, thus leaving no room for the burger. We resisted doing that. We were talking to a staff member at our building. She told us she ordered their veggie burger and thought it was the best she ever had. So, for those of you who want that burger, keep that in mind. They also offer chicken sandwiches and hot dogs. We would gladly order from them again should they come back here.

CaliBurger is a good food truck located at Wunder Garten. My wife and I have eaten from them both times there. Last time we were there we ordered the Venice Beach Dog, the Beyond Cali Burger, and the Nashville Hot Crispy Chicken. They were all very good and the chicken was extra spicy which was great. It did take them longer than expected to prepare the food last time which is why I am docking a star. They were also out of avocado that day which was a bummer but there were plenty of other options to choose from.

Fries with that amaaaaaaaazing sauce
Jackie P.

We ordered from CaliBurger at WunterGarden in DC. I expected some average food at best being at a bustling beer garden. I was wrong! We ordered fries, burgers, bratwurst and pretzels with beer cheese. I've never been to In and Out but my husband is still raving about the burgers saying they're even better. The bun was sooo good! Super soft, that's important for a great burger. After speaking with the owner it makes sense. Their ingredients are really fresh and locally sourced. Gotta love that! I'm obsessed with beer cheese and theirs was a winner. I loved it so much I ordered another. The fries had a dreamy sauce and cheese all over them. I could put that sauce on everything! The brat was delicious too. I love the generous portion of peppers and onions. The brat was super juicy! We ate so much! I'll be back

Avocado Veggie Burger (vegan), very bland! Skip the burger and go for the parmesan fries!
Aarti B.

The housemade veggie burger so disappointing! The black bean and corn patty was super bland and the sad lettuce, dry avocado, sloppy chopped white onions, and dense bun didn't help. Rather than elevating the flavor, it made things worse. I threw in the towel after a few bites, $11 wasted. The $5 rosemary parmesan white truffle oil fries were amazing! The crispy fries were bursting with flavor and could taste a small drop of precious truffle oil in every bite. There was plenty of parmesan and rosemary. They made up for the burger and filled me up! Skip the burger and go for the fries!

We visited Great Falls park and happened to encounter the Caliburger food truck there. We ordered some burgers and fries. My burger had a fig jam and goat cheese and it was great. The goat cheese helped cut the sweetness of the fig jam. The burgers were nice and juicy. I'd recommend this place for a good burger.

I think burger was microwaved. Crap that is all I can say. 25 bucks burger hot fries. Some rip off.
Zen C.

Terrible burger appeared to be microwaved. Hot dog cold. 25 bucks for dog burger fries. Just feel robbed.

Cali-Style Fries - missing the grilled onions.
Diane H.

Food truck came to our community and my husband and I were really excited to try it! I would have given 5 stars because the food was good, however there were just a couple of issues. The first one being that he apparently had so many orders he was very backed up, which caused people to wait over an hour for their food. We had a pick up for 7:15 and ended up actually getting our food almost 8:30. Being that he was really backed up my Cali fries was missing the grilled onions that were supposed to come with it, which was really disappointing. So my fries were a little bland. However, my husband loved his Parmesan truffle fries. He also said his Caliburger was good. I do recommend because the food is good, however, there could be some problems depending how many orders he has to complete.

Last week one of my collogue told me about a food truck that was kind of like In-n-out. I had to give it a try. Lucky enough it was close by that same day. The service was really good the people were super friendly and answer all my questions. I got the cali double and fries. I almost got the cali style fries but didn't want to go to sleep in my meeting after lunch. The burger was really good and fresh! The fries OMG were prefect! I will have to go back again!

Good burger and fries, but nothing like in-n-out for those who are trying to scratch an itch. Burger tastes like McDonald's, but in a good way, patties are way too thick compared to in n out and buns not the same either. Fries were good, just like boardwalk ones, but again not like in n out fries. $8 for burger and $5 for fries, too expensive, wouldn't come back.

Thanks for stopping by! I can't wait to try my burger and fries.
Ebony R.

Very good! I would recommend. I had In & Out style fries and a burger with arugula, bacon and avocado. Both were delicious, I ate every drop. The burger was the perfect size to have enough bacon, arugula and avocado in every bite. I had to add some Truff sauce to per-fect it but that's it. The truff sauce put the icing on the cake. I hope the truck comes back my way soon

Cali Double, there it is!

Well I do enjoy burgers and plenty of places have upped their burger game. As much as it cost for a burger at certain fast food places you might as well hit up some of these other places. The prices are basically the same now. On a few trips to Capital Grille I did go with the burger and so I decided to check out its affiliate Capital Burger. Capital Burger actually has more burger options to choose for over Capital Grille and a more slimmed down menu. Still with the name burger in its name, you know where their focus is. I went with the bacon cheeseburger that comes with candied smoke bacon that came at $22 with your chose of sides (fries or various salads). It was cooked to the perfect medium rare and you can tell when a burger is cooked with better ingredients and cooked with a give a damn. It was not thrown together, and the fries were not just sitting under a heating lamp. I actually ordered a to go burger for the spouse. Here is where customer service comes in. I was asked how far I had to travel and the person taking my order said she will separate portions so it will travel better. Thank you. It is that little extra that goes a long way. This time I went with the Capital Burger to go along with some key lime pie to nibble on later. Great service and great food. There are plenty of good burger places but if you are a burger fan then definitely check this place out. Absolutely no disappointment. For a true high end burger experience I have no problem giving this place a solid five stars.

The garlic aioli dip was a great pairing for them. The burger was fine. It wasn't anything out of this world but it was still good. All the toppings blended well with the burger. I felt it could have used some more flavor. Duke's is in an unbeatable spot being right across from the entrance to the zoo. If you are looking for a bite right there, it's a good option.

It only took a quick 10 minutes to receive our entire order, which was 3 burgers, a crispy fried chicken sandwich, loaded fries, and 2 milkshakes! I was very happy with how efficient the service was and the most important part, how delicious every bite was! The smashburgers are made with 100% halal beef and they come out HOT with perfectly crispy edges on the patties and a juicy center. We ordered 3 burgers and each of them stood out in their own way. You can get a single, double, or triple patty burger and add whatever toppings to it too. The jalapeño burger was the star of the show, it had a such a nice and spicy kick to it. I wasn't expecting much but this burger had HEAT! Another favorite was the Juicy Lucy. It was packed with grilled onions and the patty was stuffed with cheddar cheese. A super messy and cheesy option that was definitely worth every bite! I liked that Jon's Joint offered other options too such as loaded fries and fried chicken sandwiches. What I found unique is that for the loaded fries, you can get it with falafel and make it spicy! This time, they had run out of the falafel so I am excited to try it next time.

I've NEVER been at a restaurant that didn't have any pepper. Plenty of salt, seasoned salt and even more salt. No pepper. Burgers seem to be popular. Wasn't very crowded, but seemed popular by locals. It was a "meh" for me. I do however really like that the food is cooked to order.

I passed that one to my friend, and I took the chicken sandwich. The spicy chicken deluxe was incredible. Perfectly crispy, great sauce, and I'm pretty sure it had bacon on it, which just took it over the top.
