27 Best Burger Restaurants in Santa Barbara

“Just love the food and the employees always greet me with a smile. I am definitely a regular customer. Keep it up Chubbies!!!“

“Not like the good Olde dayz...but habe at it...hard to enjoy when you used to eat here before the franchise mania....og location but even they are getting really sloppy. Chargrilled....not hardly anymore..most places only use a flat top. Not the same as I remember. But then that's life. I like Sam's to go up the street now...“

“Stopped to charge the car nearby and had lunch. Food was fantastic! Highly recommend the meatloaf and double toad in the hole! Hash browns were crispy and buttery. Will be back when we’re in town next! ❤️“

“Friendly staff. Great Happy Hour specials.“

“We stopped for a quick bite after the zoo. Parking can be difficult in the area , but it was a wednesday late afternoon , so finding parking was not too hard. They have a good selection of foods and a happy hour in the afternoons with french fries for 5 dollars and really good macaroni and cheese balls for 7 dollars and a few more selections. The kids grilled cheese was pretty good and there were 2 sandwiches. One of us had a smash burger and was reportedly good. I ordered the specialty hot dog with Chipotle sauce, grilled onions and a grilled jalapeno.It was good not great. I have had there, macaroni and cheese balls and they're out of this world. Their fries are also very good. It is right across from the ocean wall and has a very nice casual ambience.The seating is all outside and was very pleasant. The service was good and everyone was very polite.“

“I’m a fan of this spot. Simple, quick, and easy. The kale salad is amazing, the grain bowl is an awesome option and delicious too, the cheeseburgers are classic. Do note they don’t do lettuce/tomato on the burger but I still find it balanced. Their lemonade is also bomb. Looking forward to trying more items!

Thanks for a spot in SB that’s uncomplicated, no fluff, and has non-outrageous prices. It’s comforting. Also the beats are always flowing… old school hip-hop and soul music…

Please stay this way 😚“

“Increíble vista, buena comida“

“Food, service & location is amazing. Blackened halibut sandwich was delicious.“

“Delicious hamburgers. My wife and granddaughter have Celiac disease and it was fantastic that they could get great tasting sandwiches, Mesa burger and grilled cheese sandwich, along with very good fries. Staff was very helpful and responsive (although I think they may have had a long day). The gluten free hamburger buns were neither too thick nor crumbly like most. My pineapple burger was delicious. There were plenty of open tables on a Friday at 5pm. Modern pop music and laid back vibe with several customers with their friendly dogs. It is counter service. Bathroom needed cleaning but usable for washing hands after eating. We will be returning.“

“Had a fantastic night at islands! Clay Shuck is the most amazing worker I've ever seen, based on what I saw definitely employee of the month! Checks all the boxes - facey, smart, and kind. Ladies check this place out, Clay Shuck is a snag!“

“they are so Lovely, and have an adorable food“

“Friendly, knowledgeable service. Clean, warm, peaceful environment Amazing menu Quality lunch Thank you- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Super fast service, great food, great price. Highly reccomend the milkshakes, I had the oreo milkshake and its one of the best I've ever had. I don't really reccomend the mac n cheese or the chicken sandwiches, they're just okay, but the burgers are good.“

“Awesome kids burger. Juicy, flavorful, and great value. My son loved it.

Fries were possibly best we've tried in town! Service went above and beyond.

Highly recommend and glad we found a new spot for BBQ.“

“If you visit the IHOP in Santa Barbara, do yourself a favor and ask for Ismael! We first had him as our server on Mother’s Day and had such a great experience that we came back today. Once again, he was fantastic. He’s super fast, attentive, and gives overall excellent service. He really takes care of you like family. Thank you, Ismael!“

“I absolutely loved this place during college and still daydream about their Arroz con Pollo bowl. Definitely the best option on campus for fresh, delicious and filling food. I recommend stopping by around 2:30, as its a little less busy than usual and you skip over the lunch rush.“

“Great quality meat in their burger. Not that, cheap meat, thin smash burger, that seems to be trending everywhere. The biggest sleeper is their salmon salad. It's awesome with great quality fish, dressing, and veggies, which makes sense being that the proprietor used to be the executive Chef at Wine Cast and Bouchon. All ingredients are quality which really matters to me. It's also right by the back bar in the Public Market so you can sit at the bar and have a cocktail or glass of wine while you eat as well. Love it!“

“We dined at The Habit Burger Grill in Santa Barbara and had a great experience! The burger was delicious, with a super tasty meat, and the fried potatoes were also excellent. It is a great fast food option, with a very good cost-effectiveness, especially if you are looking for a quality hamburger. For those who are not at the end of something very expensive, but want something delicious, well worth it!“

“This place is great. Really enjoyed the experience for burger week. We have been in a few times for the Taco Tuesday special and have gotten to go burritos a few times. Always good.

One word of warning, it's not fast. Not a great option if you're in a rush.“

“Fantastic food and outdoor party possibilities! Service was slow, 2 bartenders with a line out 2 doors and waitstaff no where to be found. I’d definitely return maybe not on a weekend night, but the food and drinks were great.“

“Dennys upper state street! Santa Barbara The perfect birthday party location! Neptune Radio 📻 reporting...“

“Alma was excellent, she was smiling the whole time and so helpful to everyone she came in contact with and that is rare in this day and age of customer service. The owner happened to be there and I gave her high ratings said she was top notch. I don't eat fast food but when I do the experience is usually subpar but this experience was excellent today! Their breakfast burrito are great when you are out of town and needing something quick and good. Thank you Alma for the excellent customer you provided me today!“

“They are so friendly all the workers there specially these employee her name is Alma she works there 5 days a week & all the employees there @ Milpas McDonald I will recommend you to go there is a nice & best fast food we went to they treat the people so nicely there pls have your family come to Mc Donald's here @ Milpas have a GD holidays everyone & god bless to all 😍😍😍“

“Stopped by after a local recommended this place and it was well with the stop for drinks and a great snack! We had frose, burgers and tacos and everything was so delish! We especially liked that it was dog friendly and had a puppy menu! 🐾“

“This McDonald's is nice with the old play area. Unfortunately it does not have a drive thru. So you either get off and order inside or you have to order on the app to for pick up/be brought outside to you. Customer service and food was good and service time was good as well.“
