We wanted to try Cali stack for dinner, so I went onto the toast app and ordered a curbside pickup order. I ordered the grilled chicken teriyaki sandwich with no lettuce and no onion, my husband ordered the Mac n cheese chicken sandwich and we got an order of chili cheese tater tots to share. We arrived to pick up the order but we could not see a sign for curbside pickup, so my husband got out and went into the restaurant to grab the order. Our food was hot and fresh and nicely packed, although they did not give us any napkins. My grilled chicken teriyaki sandwich was delicious and I would definitely order it again. My husband's Mac n cheese fried chicken sandwich was underwhelming. My husband said that it looked like a frozen chicken patty like you'd get at jack in the box and there was barely any Mac n cheese on the sandwich. My husband said he would not order that sandwich again but he would try something else next time. We both liked the chilli cheese tater tots. Overall, a tasty meal and we would for sure go back again abd try something else they have to offer. read more

The cheese steak sandwich was bursting with flavor and accouterments. Perfectly grilled and cooked. Went very well with their giant crispy onion rings. Heavenly food coma ensued afterwards. read more

Stopped by after seeing the street advertising flags so much I had to finally try it. Before me and my girlfriend went in we checked the yelp reviews to see if it would be a waste of time only because we are really hungry and didn't want the normal fast food slop. After checking the up reviews and seen the 4.5 stars, we were excited to try it out. I got the bacon cheeseburger Callie stack and was not disappointed for thick slices of bacon on a hefty patty and a delicious soft bun. My girlfriend got the spicy chicken sandwich and she was also not disappointed. If she says it's spicy then it's definitely spicy. She almost finished it but had a great snack for later alongside our garlic fries. We shared a garlic fries with the garlic sauce on the side as a dipping sauce it was amazing!! Good spot for that home cooked burger feel!! read more

I have driven by this place numerous times and wasn't really interested in walking in. It just doesn't have the attractants on the outside however I decided to conduct a stress test. I ordered simple Cali burger, but I wanted it uniquely made, and I made several different attempts at different types of payments just to see the level And it was amazing. The young lady at the counter cool calm collective the entire time Then once it was paid for I asked several questions regarding to the menu and she still remain calm. My order arrived shortly after I got a buzz on a device that they handed to me and with a smile, she hand me my plate I began to devour this creation, only defined amazing delightfulness in every bite. Good job if I could give more stars I would this test is complete thank you. I would definitely say the ambience was great as well definitely filling the empty appetite and with a smile and true compassion this place reaches the max stars. Furthermore, would highly recommend this place for families as well . read more

NOBODY and I dare ANYBODY to match the quality of the product PLUS the AMAZING service (dining in or take out), ALL IS AN ABSOLUTELY MOUTH WATERING, NEVER BEFORE HAVE YOU EVER HAD experience. read more

Great food, excellent customer service! We've gone a couple of times already and the food and service is always great.

Ordered from Uber Eats and they did not follow a single order choice. Only wanted mustard and they put everything they could find on the sandwich. I made it clear when I ordered. read more

They guys crush it every time! The food is amazing and the service is top notch!! I'll definitely keep coming!

Just found this place by accident last night. They are new and cool. The place is clean and simple to navigate the menu. Both the Philly and Cali stack burger were both delectable. It is hard to beat a brioche bun and crispy French fries like what they serve here. Service was welcoming and fast, for a new place that is impressive as it takes weeks/months for other places to work out the kinks. They are still in a soft opening and training new staff as it is difficult to find people willing to work in this area. Hope this place thrives as this area was lacking a real burger joint. For sure will be back! read more

Always love going here trying new burgers. My favorite thing is the chili cheese fries always hot and generous amount. The change to the onion rings I do not like AT ALL. But their bbq sauce is really good. Customer service is good and restaurant clean. read more

Just finished our first meal at Cali Stack burgers in Lakeside. It's on Woodside Ave and easy to find. I found out they are just coming up on the anniversary of their first year of being open. We both had the Calli Stack burger, which was very good. The combo with the burger fries and soda is $14. A nice sized patty which was cooked perfectly, giant pieces of bacon and the bun was soft and delicious. The fries are crispy outside and soft inside. The restaurant is very roomy and there were plenty of seats available while we were here. It's very nice and clean. The staff is very good. Really friendly and attentive. Definitely recommend this place. read more

Great customer service. Clean looking place. The cheese broccoli soup was horrible. We threw it in the trash. It was very thick not like a soup. It was loaded, and I mean loaded, with salt. read more

I normally enjoy this place a lot but I'll be honest I did not expect $12 to get me 80% fries and maybe 3 chicken tenders cut up with a spoonful of buffalo sauce in a half container. 4 stars for their burgers but I'd rate these fries a 2. read more

This is right near my kids' place in Lakeside. I always run to the Dollar Store next door; always see the $10.99 special on the window of Cali and decided to finally try it. (My son passed his drivers test and we wanted a quick celebratory meal and his friends said Cali was really good). It was excellent! Great, big, tasty burger, thick fries, refill machine for drinks, lots of space - loved it! We will be back. A lot. read more

My friend and I stopped here on a whim. She literally said, "Wanna go try that new burger place?" like she was a paid ambassador (she's not, we were just hangry). So off we went - expectations high - and we were NOT disappointed. Firstly, we were greeted immediately and warmly at the counter. The place was quiet, but it was around 11, so we didn't think that was unusual. Plus they're new. The menu was extensive. Everything had a good price point for the quality, which was INCREDIBLE. All fresh ingredients, perfectly grilled onions and mushrooms, and the burger was cooked beautifully & was juicy. The spicy sauce was so good we got some on the side, and I also used it to dip my tots - which were delightfully crispy. We will def be back. There is a jalapeño burger I need to try. And a bleu cheese one, and a chicken with bacon.... read more

I can't find my original review. Anyways it wasn't that great because they just opened and the customer service was bad so I left. Didn't even order. Anyways I went back a year later last night and they were pretty damn good. Younger people all pretty nice. Food was pretty good. So there you go pretty decent prices too. read more

I decided to give this place a try as it was a couple of minutes from my house. I ordered a bbq burger, fries, and a drink. I thought the bbq burger was really good and the ingredients were fresh. The packing of the food items were neat and clean. We also had a mushroom Swiss burger and onion rings and that burger was really good too. Prices are affordable as well and the sodas didn't come flat. We'll be coming back soon! read more

Cali Stack Burgers & Grill - #12. BBQ STACK BURGER (ANGUS BEEF PATTY,BACON,ONION RING,SMOKED GOUDA CHEESE,LETTUCE,TOMATO, BBQ SAUCE) - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Lakeside, California

1st time here and we will definitely be coming back. My wife got the Cali Stack combo and she loved it. I got the 4x4 and it was ALOT! Almost too much of a good thing since it was just meat cheese and sauce. I got a couple orders of pickles on the side to cut through the heaviness. The service was pleasant and efficient, it was a very good value as well. My only gripe is they give you these juicy, schloppy burgers and they have these super thin dollartree type napkins! Come on, man! Get some good napkins for your customers, please! read more

Food was great. Nice little addition to the neighborhood. Will go again. Food was good.

Where do I start!! We came down to Lakeside to buy a stove. The cellar stood up, so we decided to have lunch, and we ended up here. Needless to say, everything happened for a reason. My husband and I had an amazing lunch here. Customer service was amazing. I had their Buffalo chicken sandwich. The chicken tasted fresh. The sauce was delicious, and I finished my meal before my husband, and that never happens. My husband had the mushroom burger, and he enjoyed it very much. Also, she said it was delicious and the best that he's had. Glad we were stood up. read more

Came in on 10/8/25 around 11am after being referred by a friend. You can tell right when you walk in this place takes pride in cleanliness. Greeted promptly at the front. First time here and the owner recommended the Philly cheesesteak stack burger combo. The food was out really quick. I got a side of the stack sauce which was killer. Hit it out of the park with the burger and cheesesteak combo. Will be back to try the pastrami stack! read more
