CaliBurger - Lynnwood, Washington

My daughter went there and she said half her soda was water, as in they paired her drink with water and she also said it tasted weird. The burger was soggy and the guacamole was clumped in one spot. The fries were not crunchy. And just for those three items, she paid over $17. The food was not good.

Meaning

Very affordable. But clearly trying to imitate In N Out and failing. The beyond burger was nice, but the animal fries stand in was not only bad, with poorly textured bagged fries and a smoky sauce that tasted nothing like animal sauce, but it does not mirror the advertised product at all.

the meat is paper thin now.
you are witnessing the great burger scam worthy of alex jones.
Over the past 15 years i have witnessed the shrinkage of burger patty.
"They" are steling our thickness.
burger patty used to be same thickness as the bread bun
now its less than half of the thickness of bread

short version: there is less meat and more carbs in your burgers today

oh and the fries also have no flavor
Just taste like salted paper

Yeah, it’s me again. So, I stopped in here since I heard this is the closest thing I’ll get to In-N-Out in Washington State, and I was impressed. This location is in the food court and you order on a kiosk. I had tried a Crispy Malibu BLT Chicken, a Cali Double and the “Cali Style“ Fries (if you know In-N-Out, you know what I mean. Excellent. All three, excellent. I may have to venture down to Oregon to compare this place to In-N-Out. I’m afraid, as strange as it feels to say this, I think this place is better. 10/10, coming here again.

When they first opened, they were a great choice in the mall. I ordered three things loaded frys and two letoce wrapped cheeses burgers for us, and the frys were cold, and the burgers were not correct.i was a busy day so I just ate what I could and we left.

Bringing my senior parents here and requested to make the burgers half, so it’s easier for them to chew. The folks in the kitchen were so unfriendly and said NO. When I asked why, they are like “I Don’t Know”. 🙁 Never heard a burger place not willing to accommodate a simple request, no wonder why it’s so quiet here.
Attached is the picture of folks who are working today Dec 15th.

Partook due an interest in confirming or dispelling the rumors of it being nigh 1:1 w/In-N-Out. It's in the Alderwood Mall food court if that isn't obvious. That's also the reason for the average atmosphere. Come for the food and you'll be happy.

I had a Pasadena Burger and their regular fries.
+ The fries are more representative of "normal" fries than what In-N-Out does. I know a few people that dislike In-N-Out's fries. I personally only enjoy them w/the extra cook on them. I wasn't offered any option for additional cook on the fries so I don't know if there's any provision for such a thing or not. The default cook is quite tasty though.
+ I dx'd the mustard from my Pasadena Burger because I don't hate America and have a modicum of self-respect. Mayo/mustard and any friends of theirs are pure vile evil cancer. Not a fan. While I did not have access to a double double (similarly configured; sans the abominable affront to nature they call spread and adding ketchup in its stead) from memory, this Pasadena Burger configuration is nigh 1:1 and should put the "rumors" down as confirmed true.

As such, enjoyers of In-N-Out should now rejoice as there's one less reason to subject oneself to the dumpster fire that is the PRK. ("Kalifornia").

Will definitely be frequenting this location/chain!

In Seattle, this is probably the closest thing you can get to In-N-Out. I absolutely love In-N-Out, but by all means that doesn't mean that Cali Burger is close to In-N-Out's level whatsoever.

Out of all the places to eat in the food court at Alderwood Mall, for some reason I always gravitate towards Cali Burger. I mean, they're alright, but I usually get some french fries, and a cali double burger with bacon and grilled onions. Presentation wise, everything looks pretty similar to In-N-Out, but taste wise, not so much. The burger is kind of bland and really lacks texture and flavors. I really wished the buns were toasted, but I do appreciate the generous amount of lettuce. The fries on the other hand are pretty good though. They're pretty crisp and have a very delicous and generous amount of seasoning!

Overall, everything is just alright, but still satisfies my needs. It definetly is the closest substitute to In-N-Out up here in Washington, but again, nothing like In-N-Out.
