Caliburger is the In-N-Out imitator that has opened on Hennessy Road in Wan Chai. As I grew up in California, I was eager to find out if this local burger joint can match up to the US original. The fast food restaurant was bright and colorful with stereotypical SoCal decor like surfboards and posters of pretty people in beach wear. For a second, I thought I was in a Hollister store if not for the smell of burgers. The menu at Caliburger was concise - burgers here range from $55 to $88 plus an ad
The menu at Caliburger was concise - burgers here range from $55 to $88 plus an additional $18 for a combo. Also notable is that they have spiked milkshakes! I also got the Bacon Cheese Burger ($60) here and with the Early Bird Special discount (20% off if you order before 1PM on weekends), my meal here was much cheaper compared to Burgeroom.
You can see where they make their burgers on the spot in an open area right next to the cashier. The only thing I didn't get was the hideous color-clashing-psychedelic uniforms the staff was wearing.
The burgers at Caliburger were much smaller and well, rather sad-looking. The buns were limp and stale while the patty had no seasoning at all. The bacon was too salty as it wasn't caramelized. Even with the Wild Sauce, the Bacon Cheese Burger at Caliburger was pretty bland to eat overall. We had upgraded our fries to Onion Rings and even that was disappointing as the batter was way too thick.
