Most Disliked
Some patrons express mild frustration during peak hours, especially on Friday evenings when the restaurant hits 100% capacity. While the thrill of a busy restaurant is part of the community vibe, longer waiting times can be a drawback. A few customers have mentioned that the variety on the menu, though extensive, can feel overwhelming.
For someone looking for a quick meal, navigating the choices may not be ideal, especially during rush hours. Despite the bustling atmosphere, there are whispers of occasional service hiccups due to the crowd, but nothing that detracts significantly from the overall experience. Keeping these aspects in mind will enhance a visit to California Burgers and help manage expectations.

I always thought Wendy's made the best sandwich but now California Burgers just topped that. The fish was cooked right, crunchy outside but tender inside. The selected lettuce was really fresh, cold and crunchy. The red onion is pungent and a little spicy but supposed to be good for the heart with anti-cancer properperties. Makes for delicious and healthy eat.

Been coming to this place for years! I used to only be able to randomly pop it, living far, but now that I am local- I cannot stay away!! I was recommended this place by a close friend who lived near by. Many things kept me coming back. 1) The only place I can find a REAL Monte Cristo… with JAM! And oh man, it is made well and delicious EVERY time. 2) Always great service, awesome staff! 3) The drive thru option makes this so much more accessible for me, plus I rarely dine in somewhere or walk in a place to get take out. 4) Just found out they are on DoorDash ect!!! Highly recommend!

This old-fashioned, privately owned restaurant is much more than just a burger joint. Their burgers taste amazing, but they also have a large selection of menu items which are all worth trying. The food is excellent, with homemade flavors coming from quality ingredients. One of my personal favorite menu items are the fried mushrooms, with a crispy outside and juicy inside. Overall, the restaurant is very clean and inviting. The dining room has a homey feel to it, and the staff are very welcoming and happy to spend time getting to know their customers. If I had to choose one reason I will continue to be a customer here, it's the people, because they really do put a lot of care into the food and the restaurant.

I got the gyro, my fiancee got carne asada fries, and my son got the chicken tenders kids meal. Everything was great, we were all pleased and it's all exceptional chicken tender. We're always a fan of the Coca-Cola freestyle machine.

California Burger is my go to place when I’m craving a great burger. You’d be blown away at the size of the menu and it all looks yummy. I was today years old when I learned of pastrami fries!
