We got to try CaliBurger when they had their food truck at the Cherry Blossom Festival in DC. As a San Diego native, their burgers live up to the name! The burgers reminded me of In-n-Out. They also had great fries. Considering how busy it was at the festival, there was about 10-15 minute wait after ordering, but it was worth the wait. They also had very reasonable prices for it to be during the festival (burger was $13 and the side of fries was $7–there were enough fries for me and my partner to split, and we each got our own burger). I hope they are at the festival again next year!

Stopped by their food truck at the Cherry Blossom festival in DC and it was really good! The fries were AMAZING! The hot dogs were enormous and the burgers were tasty! Prices were good and they worked as fast as they could with the mobs of people waiting to be served!! Would definitely seek them out at another event!

Ordered a sprite, they gave me a sprite zero sugar, I eventually.tasted the difference and noticed the can. I took the remainder back and pointed this out to them. The guy told me that I drank it and gave me a hard time about getting what I actually ordered. I told him it's okay, I'll just take care of it in a review. Mind you, this was a $2:50 CAN of sprite. It isn't about the money. Do the right thing.

The food was good from the food truck. But what happened is there was a line, not a very long line. But ended up standing in the line for over 90 mins. Highly overpriced. Did not have anywhere where the prices were shown. When I ordered my food I was shocked to see how much the food was. I was thinking about going to buy something else, but it would not be worth it to leave the line. Ended up spending over 24 dollars for my meal. Very expensive

Super poor service at Oktoberfest. Rude staff when people were wondering why there food was 40 mins late. Complete inability to handle volume and set realistic expectations on when food will be done partnered with the attitude of the staff was disappointing. Food was ok. A little over priced for the portion size. $6.50 for side of fries. $12 for a brat in a bun no side. Hopefully the beer garden takes the poor performance of opening weekend and hires better food options.

I'm surprised by the reviews, I was in Wundergarten and this truck was there so I ordered the double burger and in my opinion was a really good burger for $10, juicy, tasty and well sized. For me that's a 5 stars

Super cool food truck, located in the WunderGarden. Vegan and non-vegan options for burgers and fries. This particular day, WunderGarden is having a Barbie Party, so there was some confusion among clients ordering and paying online, but the truck not getting the order or the money. Food was good, impossible burger with waffle sweet potatoe fries.

Food truck. Came to job site and literally crossed out over half the things on the menu as they were unavailable. Options were very limited, over priced, really long wait time. Over 30minutes of lunch time was burned up just waiting for a burger and fries.

Food truck came to WHC (Washington hospital center) For Food truck day On Monday... I was highly disappointed. Showed up late!!1They advertise to have chicken, vegan, bratwurst and not to mention 2/4 fries on their menu neither was there. Only had burgers and like I mention 2 of the fries... I order for my coworker and she ended up getting a caliburger which was decent. Overall why come is 90% of your menu is not there.
Terrible burger appeared to be microwaved. Hot dog cold. 25 bucks for dog burger fries. Just feel robbed.

The food truck is currently parked by the tidal basin, near the MLK DC Circulator stop. It seems to be there daily. There are several trucks in the area. The french fries are the least expensive ($6) from the other trucks. They are decent, without being great. The vendor will give you extra ketchup packets, if needed. My guest liked the burger. It was pricey but so were the other food trucks. If you didn't pack a snack, the food trucks are convenient while sight seeing around the cherry blossoms.

Place did a good job at reselling a small spicy mc chicken sandwich for $11. Here’s the best part, small sides of fries for $7. This place is the best scam ever!!.

Only able to order online with instructions to wait for message that order is ready. After a 45 minute wait and knocking on window did I find my order was sitting there cold. Food was mediocre at best.

Came to Wunder Garden for The Office Trivia event this Friday and while we came too late to participate we figured we'd at least grab a drink and a bite. My friend and I were directed to the food truck outside. Never heard of CaliBurger prior but I can never turn down a good burger. Typical with many businesses post Covid you had to scan a barcode for the menu, which is limited at this location. I went with the blue cheese burger, my friend got the double and we shared an order of fries. They don't ask you how you want your burger cooked which can be a gamble but in this case it didn't matter so much because of the thinness of the Pattie's. We headed to the bar to order drinks while we waited and the food was ready by the time we made it back. My burger was perfectly seasoned and juicy. It had blue cheese, bacon, pickles and a sauce that I honestly couldn't name but paired well with the blue cheese. The fries were hot and crispy but nothing crazy to note. They do have options for "fancier" fries but I like to stick to basics when I'm doing a lot with my burger. My friend enjoyed her burger as well and while initially hesitant about having to get a double because of the limited menu she was happy with it. I'd def go back and hope to try more items on the menu before they sell out.
