Do not sleep on this place. Burgers are delicious and cooked to perfection. Also the curly fries are probably the best I have ever had. I had the California melt - on sourdough with special sauce and avocado. My wife had the California knockout and both were very good. Drive thru service was quick and order was correct, which is getting to be more and more rare. 5 stars and we will be back.

We always wanted to try California Burger but the line was always wrapped around and down 16th Street! Now I can see why a lot of people say the anticipation. However we ate there tonight and it was a pretty decent meal. I'd say going there I really prefer the turkey burger. Avocado Burger was actually good as well. Banana split was nicely made, the Fanta float was actually delicious as well. This is the type of restaurant meal in the summertime on a late summer night!!! also good for parents with children to have ice cream cones and shakes on the go.

OVERRATED!!! I had high hopes for this place. I've been to In N Out, Fatburger, Farmer Boys out in L.A. so I do know a good burger. This fell short of all the aforementioned burger joints. The best burger locally IMO is Freddy's, so save yourself time and just go there if you want the best, crispy- seared eged, perfectly seasoned burger. California Burger's Patties had no sear and were bland. What a shame, and with a name like California Burger and a scheme similar to In N Out, to me, they're average and not worthy of the hype and definitely not anything close to what you'd get in L.A.

The place is called California Burger so you’ve got to figure that’s their specialty and I can honestly say they nailed it. I ordered just a regular double cheeseburger and you can tell by the picture that it is pretty big. I think their burgers are better than Five Guys and Shake Shack but maybe not In-N-Out Burger. Only the drive thru is open and the line winds out of their lot and down the street. We probably waited at least 30 minutes. Luckily we weren’t in a hurry. They really need to look at simplifying their menu. It’s really hard to anticipate what someone is going to order with such a complex menu. This business model is not scalable. Until they figure out how to serve customers faster they will always have a limited capacity to serve. Think about it: how could someone who only has 30 to 45 minutes break for lunch ever come here. They couldn’t do it. Eating here was a one-off experience for us because honestly we don’t usually have time to wait in line but we wanted to see what all the rave was about. Five stars because it really is a good burger. The incentive is there to shorten the wait time: just cutting the wait time to 15 minutes would double their revenue.
