Love this place! Great prices! Highly recommend trying this restaurant. My friend brought me here after a bike ride and I was impressed!

Found this burger place in the back of a strip mall and we never would have known it was there except my husband was browsing the internet and found some reviews. The burgers are big and delicious and their fries are tasty and crisp and a huge order. Will definitely return when craving a great burger and fries. read more

I've been a customer of Cali Stacks for two years. From a business standpoint, I'm so impressed that they actually use customer feedback to make improvements when/where needed. From the foodie side, best mushroom burger in town (savory dripping goodness) that melts in your mouth, coupled with french fries and/or crispy onion rings which are plentiful. Delish consistently; decent prices, friendly service and clean atmosphere. Definitely recommend. read more

If you're a big-back like me... you got to try the #15. Slam Stack Burger with BBQ sauce on the side. They had really good fresh thick cut French fries. The customer service made me feel like I was is in the south again. that southern hospitality just without the Texans accent!!!! read more

Absolutely terrible patty was frozen bacon was Burnt. Zero flavor would not recommend wasting time and money

Amazing food and it's affordable. The service is amazing. Super friendly. The ambiance is super chill and relaxing. read more

The flavor was good and get a lot of food. But, we got it to go and when we got home the burgers were sitting in juice/grease and it was so gross! Totally soggy bun... The fries could have been cooked a little more. We will probably never go back. read more

We went to the burger joint and were very surprised of how good their food is Not like the big fast food places where the burgers look great on their advertisements but fail when presented the actual burger. This place is the real deal. It's definitely worth the drive. read more

Burgers were big. Prices reasonable. Service on point. Would I go again?? Yes!! Saw some people eating hotdogs that's looked amazing

I love this place. Clean, good service, and delicious food. So far we tried their burgers and Philly cheesesteaks sandwiches. And it was really good. Worth the price. read more

Great service and casual atmosphere. I wanted a patty melt and they have their version. Tasty and pretty good size. Next time a burger, but today I got my patty melt on.. read more

Good quality ingredients assembled into a great menu selection. I haven't tried everything on the menu but I have tried many of the items and I haven't been let down. There is plenty of parking, places to sit and the customer service is great. I've watched them get backed up on orders and they hold it together nicely under pressure. I recommend checking them out. read more

The staff is super nice and efficient. Clean place, lots of seating. Food came out HOT, fresh and as ordered. Very nice place for a sandwich and fries. read more

Fabulous Burgers. Huge menu and you'll never not be satisfied. Perfect place to pick up or stop by real quick to sit and eat.

$8-$10 burgers that are worth every dollar. I get the gyro stack burger with sweet potato fries and share them with a teacher buddy that gets onion rings. The gyro meat is fantastic. Spicy stack sauce and chipotle mayo are both great. I'm a satisfied customer and I will be back! read more

Cali Stack Burgers & Grill - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Lakeside, California

Finally... someone has restored my faith in the possibility of a new establishment offering great food and excellent customer service! The Philly stack, while not a typical Philly cheesesteak, was delicious none the less. The chili chess fries were on point! Chili and cheese were flavorful and the fries were crispy and tasty. My wife had the classic stack burger which was good as well and their signature sauce was perfect. Inside was clean, well lit and had plenty of seating with several TVs. In short... definitely worth coming back! read more

Good Burgers!! quick and easy! Fast service and the food was better than most we have found Oh very big burgers we could have split one read more

My boyfriend has been seeing this place all over his local fb groups so we decided to check it out tonight and boyyyy did we regret it :') It's located on the corner of a little strip mall, right next to dollar tree. When we arrived we noticed a line out the door, however we found parking easily. As we were walking in I overheard a family walking out saying something about a 45 minute wait? I noticed that all the tables were full, but hardly anyone had their food. That probably should've been a sign to turn around, but we still wanted to give it a shot. We waited to order, maybe about 10mins in line, and right as we got to the register the cashier informed us of a 50min wait time. Still hopeful, we ordered for take out (6:30PM). We both ordered the #2 combo and a burger panini for our son. We asked if one of the combo fries could be upgraded to onion rings. The cashier said yes for an extra charge. No problem. Price was good for those 3 items, I want to stay around $31. Because of that wait time I decided to grocery shop up the street. We went back to the establishment at 7:20 thinking the food would be ready but nope. My boyfriend went inside while I waited in the car with the kids. It's 7:45 and he still hasn't returned to the car, so I'm like wtf? I text him asking what number they're on and he says "120" (we were 124). I finally see him walking out, bags in hand, around 8:10PM. I couldn't believe it!!! We waited over 90mins for 2 burgers and a panini. Never againnnnnn. My boyfriend said he sat there and watched their "system" and apparently they were making the orders based off the tickets rather cooking them in bulk. You know you're selling burgers and fries. Constantly have patties and fries going. I promise you they will still be made to order, and done faster! I get that they want to be accurate in their orders but there's definitely a better way. With that being said, they still got our order wrong. We upgraded to onion rings and did not receive them. How are you going to have people checking tickets constantly and still mess up in packaging. The food itself was ok. The burgers were NOTHING special, even with their "signature sauce." My sons panini was good but truly the only difference between that and our burger was the bread. And the fries were extremely undercooked. It was a big ole pile of mush every fry. Save yourself the time and drive 10mins to get burgers from 5 Guys or even In N Out. Sooo much better and will never disappoint. read more

Cali Stack Burgers & Grill - Uncooked fries, one in which we did not order since we sub-upgraded for onion rings. - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Lakeside, California

Burger was tasty and good value. The garlic fries were way too garlicky for me, but the tots were really good. We waited over 30 minutes for our order though. I'll come again and check out one of the chicken sandwiches but will call it in for pickup next time. read more

If you need an absolutely delicious burger check these guys out!! The food is so good and comes out quickly, the service is also amazing! Super clean as well with tons of seating. 10/10 !! read more

Restaurant inside is a fine place to eat, clean, medium noise, good place for kids. Today there was a little wait for the food, but not too bad if you're dining in. The service and severs were really nice! And the burgers was amazing! Service and burgers DEFINITELY made up for the wait. read more

I went here for the first time yesterday with my mom and my daughter. I'm not really a big burger person. I like them but don't seek out the best usually. My mom however is a burger fanatic. She wanted a burger so we decided to go give it a try. First of all, the employees were VERY nice. They were attentive and quick. It was nice inside, and very clean. We got our food and WOW, could be the best burger I've had. The price was great, the food was fantastic, and the service/employees were just as awesome. We will 100% be back!!! The location I feel isn't exactly the best, so i really hope people still give it a try! I'm going to tell everyone I know! :) read more

very cool burger stop, employees are very friendly, the burgers are amazing one of the best burger I have ever had

Cali stack is one of our favorite weekends stops for lunch! We haven't had something here we haven't liked. My favorite is the Cali blue burger and the sliders my fiancés favorite is the Philly cheesesteak and the chicken tenders. Service is always quick and friendly. We love the staff here. The inside is nice and clean and has room for bigger parties. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is interested. read more

Starting off, this rating is not a reflection of the service. Service was great. Friendly and approachable. Burger paddies reminded of Boll Weevil's. No flavor or seasoning. Like something they'd serve in a hospital. Bacon was very chewy, would argue that it was undercooked. Fries were soggy. If you buy frozen fries from the store, then microwave them, that's what they were. Fried chicken sandwich was okay. Drowned out by the buns but good flavor and crisp. Inside was HOT. I sweating sitting there waiting for the food. Again, service was great. Food, not so much. read more

The Cali stack burger was great in my opinion. As far as burger joints go, this might be one of the better/best ones in Lakeside, and definitely worth a try. I ended up getting the $10.99 meal which was great considering the portion size was also pretty generous. The service was prompt and everyone seemed really nice. The seating area is pretty spacious as well. The inside felt a bit bare but I think as time goes on there'll be more opportunities for the owners/management to add to the ambiance. I definitely could see this place becoming a must try spot for years to come! read more

I had the Cali Stack Combo with Tots and a soda. The burger was okay (slightly overcooked as I prefer mine medium-rare to medium). I don't believe that the patty was freshly made, but I didn't ask. The tots were solid (nice and crispy), but how can anyone mess up tots? I always root for a small, local business and I hope they make a go of it. For my money, it's hard to compete with Eastbound Bar & Grill only a few blocks away. Overall, 3.5 / 5.0 read more

Unfortunately waited 45 mins just for my order along with two other customers, 1/2 of my food was cold and they had forgotten my daughters shake and fries that came with her meal, the worker who was at the register who had a HUGE ADDItUDE but it wasn't too busy so I'm not sure what was happening , I'm very upset and disappointed read more

When they first opened up, the burgers were awesome. The last 2 times the burgers did not have lettuce and tomato . Both times!! I don't think I'll be ordering from them any more . read more

I had the Philly Stack Burger, the size is very big, it's fresh and clean, burger was juicy, very good amount of protein !!!! I had the chocolate milkshake and it was the best I had ever tasted. Husband had the grilled Cali stack club, daughter had lakeside stack burger and son had the blt stack !!! Will definitely come back, this is going to be our place to go eat!!!!! read more

The best burger I've ever had!! I had the Cali stack combo and it was awesome. The fries are crispy and tasty. The owner is great, He really supports the community. Way better than in and out! They have more than just burgers, Sandwiches, hot dogs, panini's, shakes and more. Great place to take the family. The staff is great as well. Thank you guys for running a great restaurant. read more
