Burger was pretty good, better than I thought. Service was fast and they were very nice. Felt like an old fashioned Burger Joint and I thought that added a nice touch. Besides that I recommend the California Burger. read more

California Burger - Single Burger. California Knockout. Curly Fries. Regular Fries. - Burgers Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

I have honestly not had a burger this good in ages! I'm not even a burger person, but last week, California Burger blew my mind! I ordered a plain bacon cheeseburger with curly fries. Both were fantastic, but my BCB was incredible. It was the flavor of the burger combined with the bacon and cheese that worked well together. My sandwich was not greasy, like a lot of diners or fast food restaurants, and it tasted so good. My fiancé really enjoyed his mushroom swiss burger, too. Service was pretty fast & the restaurant was well-lit. I absolutely cannot wait to return to California Burger again, despite it being across town, to get another delicious meal! read more

Waited 15 minutes at the window for our food. We ordered a BLT sandwich, a number 1 combo, a Philly Steak sandwich, a medium rootbeer, and a twist cone. Instead of giving me my cone while we waited 15 minutes, I got it when they handed out our food!!!! UGH!!! I open my philly sandwich and there was huge chunks of red and bell peppers, wilted/ hot lettuce, wilted hot tomatoes, lots of onions, and barely any meat at all, covered with melted cheese! Mind you, this is one of the most expensive sandwiches on the menu, and the only one I ever get! I am so livid right now! I tried to call to inform them of the problem (also took photos), but guess what? THEY DO NOT HAVE A PHONE NUMBER!!! What a joke! I left a message online for them, we shall see if they ever write back! For now, I think we don't visit there again. read more

Food was good but the serious was just ridiculous! The entire crew was so rude! thats NOT customer service im not sure who hired those people and even let one become manager but they all need fired not friendly what so ever! they can definitely do much better read more

I'm in town on a business trip and decided on California Burger for lunch. Pulled into the drive-thru, ordered a burger combo with a large Diet Pepsi, only to be told they were out of that and all diet sodas. Fine. Pivot the order to the burger and a side at the cost of $15, then proceeded to wait in line for 18 (timed) minutes. If there had been a way to pull out of the drive-thru area before reaching the window, I would have. Unfortunately, I was trapped by the two vehicles in front of me and the four behind me. Upon (finally) reaching the window, paying for and receiving my order, I was handed my receipt and credit card without a "thank you", a "sorry for the delay", or anything. read more

Burger and Fried cali style! Love it! The burger was loaded and so delicious. Highly recommended!

Not bad, sticky floors very very sticky floors. Service kind of food was decent. Drinks were made. Milkshakes were worse not a bad place overall. read more

The parking lot was empty. Only two people were working. The place was a disaster. Every table was filthy with crumbs and food on them. The trash cans were all overflowing. The bathroom was out of soap and paper towels. I actually stood while I ate. The lady at the front cash registers was nice, but I asked for no sauce and the burger came with extra sauce. The burger was just sloppy and mediocre. I wanted to try the shakes next time, but I don't think I want to go back. read more

Got takeout for dinner here. I thought that after a bit of travel it would decrease in quality but it still tasted very fresh and yummy! We got some curly fries, fried zucchini and veggie burgers. Everything was great! It was one of the better veggie burgers I've tried from a fast food place. Definitely leaves the other fast food places behind. The service was quick as it is a fast food place. The inside of the restaurant feels like you're actually in a warm climate. I did feel that it was a bit pricey but great for a once in a while splurge! I recommend this place for sure! read more

It's an amazing place!! I love the food AND the service! Which is kinda slim nowadays getting both those things at the same place. I ordered on line to have it ready to go through drive thru and it was hot and ready and very organized in my bag as well. Unlike some fast food restaurants where they just dump what u ordered into the bag and send u on ur way. I also got the avocado burger and it was amazing!! Will eat there again! read more

I ordered this place on DoorDash and it was extremely delicious. The burger was tasty. The fried mac & cheese were a great little appetizer. I really enjoyed this meal. read more

Decent fast food. Everything was very hot and fresh and employees were nice. My one complaint is it felt dirty. Women's bathroom was gross and I found a bandaid hanging from the bottom of the table. read more

Was amazing food was hot fresh and amazingly good would strongly recommend this place!

I am so sick of Mac Donald's! So we were out doing a bit of shopping and stopped by! The facility is clean and new looking. The drive thru was packed but inviting! After a 10 minute wait it was our time! The order process was pain less and when I was directed to pull forward with my $17.93 payment I was a bit surprised! Almost $20.00 for two burgers, a Diet Coke and fries seemed a bit much for my blood! Communication with the order guy and the cashier seemed screwy! The cashier asked for $25.00 and I went ballistic! We settled on $20.00 and change! The good part is that our fries and burgers were the best we ever had! No kidding! Absolutely fantastic! Give them a try when you are really hungry and feeling flush! read more

My favorite burger in Ft Wayne. I miss in-and-out since moving back. A good lettuce wrap is near to impossible to find. This place does a good consistent lettuce wrap. I don't get the special sauce. read more

If you are craving an In-N-Out burger, or Carl Jr, or even Whataburger, THIS is the place to go. You're not going to get an amazing atmosphere, and you will have to wait while they make it fresh, BUT it is worth it. I will take California Burger over hipster burgers any day. read more

Awesome food . Never just warm, our food is HOT fresh cooked each and everytime. I just love their Spicy Chicken #18 I believe. No tomato, no lettuce, just the wonderful chicken n the spicy crust on it. Best ever. The fries are hot,hot,hot !! Be careful of your mouth.lol love the seasoning on them , Husband does too. Husband downsized from the Triple Burger (no tomato or lettuce) to the Double Cheeseburger. Still huge. He said he was miserably full from the Triple Burger n large fries. Well at least he didn't "snack" later in the evening as usual. Too funny. The crew there are so nice to us when we go. They just laugh cause we come often . We've tried the Mac n Cheese bites, delicious, Fried Pickles, yummy, Fried Mushrooms, Mozzarella sticks, Chicken Nuggets, very tasty, Onion Rings, huge and delicious. Geez, all just sooo good !! Try them if you haven't. We love the food and the kind and smiling employees. Will go tomorrow actually !! Lol read more

Food illnesses seem to be a common theme. On Saturday I took my wife and son to California burger to give it a try. The drive through was empty and only a few cars in the parking lot. We figured the "hype" was over. We went in and stood at the counter for about 5 minutes before a gentlemen appeared from the bathroom. My wife ordered a spicy chicken sandwich meal and I ordered the double cheeseburger meal. The food tasted okay and the fries were pretty good. After eating my wife went back to the counter and ordered a Cinnamon Toast Crunch milkshake. It too tasted very good. But then the bad happened. That evening my stomach began to growl and I knew something was up. For the past 3 days my wife and I have been having horrible stomach pains and diarrhea. It's is still going on to this day. Anything we eat comes right out of us. After speaking to a few family members we found that our sister in law has experienced the same thing after having a milkshake from here. So buyer beware. If you eat here stop by Costco to get TP on the way home. read more

This is close enough that we get carry out once in awhile. They always get the order right and their side options are more varied than other places. I like being able to get avocado on my burger. The zucchini fries are very good. Not the cheapest fast food. But it's better than most. They gave my pup a pup cup. I noticed the dining room is now open. I probably won't ever eat inside but I know a lot of people will like it. read more

Yes, the drive thru line is long. Expect to be in line for at least 20 minutes. It's new and a lot of people want to try it. If they opened up the inside right now, I guarantee they would be too busy to keep up with. I got the Single Bacon w fries and it was really good. Everything was warm, fries were hot and crispy, and I got extra Secret Sauce to put on everything this is my second time here. Both times have not disappointed. (Btw the large fry is like 3 regular fries ). read more

I got an avocado burger and onion rings. I started to feel ill about 6 hours later. Then I was running to the bathroom and was in terrible pain. It took 3 months before I was feeling well again. Yes I went back after 3 months and the grilled chicken salad is all I get and have been fine. My husband has eaten there many times and never gotten sick. read more

My sister and I debated because some of the negative reviews were strong. But, we decided to give it a shot. I am glad we did! The food was excellent. I had the Philly Steak and a medium drink and fries. She had the double bacon hamburger and upsized fries and drink to a large. The quantity of food we received was enormous. Neither of us could eat everything. The flavor of the Philly Beef was wonderful and the hoagie was loaded; sister had nothing negative about her burger. Burger was a smash burger; not premade and frozen. We were very, very satisfied. Let's get to the fries. My medium fries would be considered a large anywhere else. The large fry would probably feed 3-4 people. I've never seen anything served that large. Some past reviewers complained about price. I don't think a review should be based on price alone. Price was maybe a bit higher than any fast food joint; but, the quality and quantity of food far offset the price. I feel food was made per order so there may have been a short wait. Well worth the wait. We did the drive through and the personnel at the window was quite nice so I can't comment on the ambiance inside. There are two California Burger restaurants in Indianapolis and we will try them since we live closer to Indy. I really don't think you will be disappointed. read more

Ordered food through the drive through. Service was good, but the food wasn't great. The burger was too greasy & made me nauseous.

Dine in wasn't open but the drive through was. Line moved quickly, order was correct. They even gave us a lot of ketchup without asking. It is a little pricey. However the food was very good. Hot and fresh. Would recommend read more

Good tasty burgers. Friendly people and very clean restaurant. We also tried chicken wings which were really good.

The single bacon burger was fine. The bacon had no flavor though. The curly fries were okay, nothing special. They had issues with my order. Thought I said no tomato, they corrected that before handing me my meal. They gave me the wrong drink. I went through the drive through, and tried the drink too late to go back to correct it. read more

Decided to give CB another try...not too pleased in past, but took into account, "new place, getting it together, etc." Just wasted $15. However, will rate it with 4 stars.. Was able to talk in person, with the manager, the following day. He was extemely polite offering me the option of a cash refund or debit card credit. Superior customer service !!!! read more

Husband went on a Saturday to get food and after waiting about 30 minutes in the drive through he brought home the food and I thought it was good and that was the end of it. Until Sunday. Sunday I got sick and I tell you that I knew something was off the entire day I felt sluggish and sick. Fast forward to Sunday night where I threw up all the contents of that day into the toilet. And now on 3/15 my husband feels the same way. Sorry, overpriced food and the chance of getting sick makes me write off this place and there's no amount of money that would make me go back. Go and eat there at your own risk read more

The service, food & ambiance is AMAZING. THEY GO ABOve & BEYOND EVERYTIME ! ME & my Family's favorite is the California Melt (burger on sourdough) I add a side of Jalapeños & put the tomatoes, ranch avocado on the side. I get fries with a side of ranch & secret sauce read more

Food was just okay. The restaurant was filthy. Most of the tables were dirty, only 2 weren't. Trash can overflowing inside and outdoors. Toilet paper empty in womens restroom. No employees visible to report it to. Hardly anyone in there. They should have been out there cleaning. read more

Best Philly cheese steak in town. Hands down. Legit!! Fresh vegetable. The perfect bread. Oh and the shakes! The burgers and fries with cheese. Yumm. Hot and fresh every time. Been really impressed with anything we've ordered. Drive thru lines move steady. Well done and welcome to Fort Wayne! read more

The only reason it's not 5 stars was because it was opening day and the lobby was closed which resulted in long wait time. The food was well worth the wait, my wife had the cali melt and said it was amazing and I had the buffalo wing basket and it was amazing as well. My two year old son had his kids meal nuggets finished before we got home. 100% will go back once the line isn't terribly long or when the lobby opens up! read more

Nothing special It's not a bad burger. BUT for the price Go up the street to Culver's or across the street to 5 guys and save u a few dollars. read more

I have never gotten food poisoning before but this place takes the spot. Ordered a bacon cheeseburger and immediately felt uneasy after. A couple hours later I knew it was food poisoning and stayed up all night due to the pains. On day two and still bed ridden, never have felt so horrible in my life, can't keep anything down. Upon reading up on other reviews too, this isn't a new case for California Burger. read more

pretty darn good not going to lie. not as good as culver's or five guys and would still choose those two over this place for the price

Food was great! Service was fast and VERY friendly. Will definitely go back!! The inside is now open. Used to be just the drive thru

Great burgers and fries. Only drive thru when I was there, so slower service than you'd expect.
