I had been wanting to order from here but I was skeptical because it seemed priced too reasonably and I never been there before. The #12. BBQ STACK BURGER (ANGUS BEEF PATTY,BACON,ONION RING,SMOKED GOUDA CHEESE,LETTUCE,TOMATO, BBQ SAUCE) was great it tasted like a nice home cooked burger. The fries were crispy and delicious also. My favorite burger spot now.

The food doesn't quite look the way it does in the photos - which is a bit disappointing as Cali Stack Burgers is really the only place I know of where the food looks as good as it does in their pictures. Both the ONION RINGS and #19. CHICKEN TENDERS(5 PCS CRISPY CHICKEN TENDERS) appear to have been left in the fryer or oven too long, because they're looking more burnt than edible. The #19. CHICKEN TENDERS(5 PCS CRISPY CHICKEN TENDERS) look like the runty little pieces you find at the bottom of the store bought Foster Farms bag after you've gone through the bigger, fuller chicken strips. But how do they taste? Well, some of the chicken strips were actually pretty juicy and they were great! Unfortunately, not all of them were like that, and some tasted as dry as they looked. As for the ONION RINGS ... well, they definitely taste like they look, dry and crunchy. Again, not sure if it was the way they were cooked, maybe they used a different batter, but they're not as great as they usually are. Perhaps I'm just confused, but I could've sworn that CSB's onion rings were beer-battered and had that smoother texture to them like the O-rings they'd sell at the old Lakeside Café across the street from Allie's FedEx & Knickknack store (and I think maybe Denny's too?), instead of the way they make them at Jack in the Box, Sonic, and similar drive-thru places. The beer-battered version is how I prefer my onion rings, and usually CSB knocks it out of the park... but unfortunately, not this time.
Overall, I consider these to be nitpicks and not a hard and definitive "bad review". I still believe this restaurant is an overall hidden gem and worth eating at.

Absolutely delicious food!! The onion rings were the thick battered ones I like and super tasty! The burger I ordered for my mom was cooked perfectly, the toppings looked really fresh, and the burger was so massive that she had to cut it in half to eat it! What really blew us away was the fact that the food *actually* looked as great as the promo pictures!
Overall fantastic quality food! Will definitely be ordering from this restaurant again!
