    Double burger and fries

    Stopped here on the way to Santa Barbara and loved it! Burgers and fries were great! Came in on a Friday afternoon and wasn't too busy. Plenty of patio seating on a sunny day!

    Our food. Tons of fries!!

    My wife and I went here to check it out always good to try smash burgers. They did not disappoint they were really good and full of flavor. Service was more of a self service but ok. You order you food and the give you a buzzer and you have to order your drinks at the bar?? Can't I just get everything I need right here!! Oh well. Nice places to eat outside.

    A beautiful new addition to Carpinteria Avenue. Carpinteria's main drag just got a lot more stylish. Convenient parking in the back lot or on the street. The interior is modern, intimate and stylish, featuring a nice bar with a curated selection of local beers and wines. Dong Burger is perfect for a post-beach meal. The food is a total homage to the classic California smash burger. While the burger was delicious and the ingredients tasted high-quality, The $13 price tag is the "beach tax" in action. The fries and red trays will feel very familiar to all In-N-Out fans out there, though it will hit your wallet a bit harder here. Service is still in the "soft opening" phase but very pleasant. It's a great place to grab a local beer and people-watch, but if you're feeding a large family on a budget, you might want to head down the road. Buen provecho.

    I've had my fair share of smashburgers and this by far is the BEST that I've ever had. Walk up and order inside so there are no servers. I went on a busy sunny Sunday and didn't have to wait that long for my juicy smashburger. Has a nice vibe with a small bar inside that serves wine and a handful of beers on tap.

    A little pricey, but the vegan burger and fries were really tasty! I liked the black bean patty and the fries were really crispy and seasoned very well. It was close enough that I just walked to the beach and ate it their, but the interior seemed cute and had a bar and plenty of seating.

    Burgers were flavorful, but simple. The Hot dang was actually spicy. The fries were better than I expected. The negative would be the limited seats, and lack of shade. Casual outdoor seating along a busy street.

    We came on a day trip to Santa Barbara and ended up finding this spot with great reviews. We had to make a separate line to buy our drinks which was odd but understandable. Our burgers were so freaking good. The fries were delicious too. They only have outdoor seating but they had so much space to sit. They also had limited parking. I will definitely come back !

    Very yummy burger and fries...reminds of in n' out really. Service was good despite it being busy. We scored a seat outside for our small group and it's a great local spot for Carp! I would definitely stop by here again when in Carp and want a burger in fries and don't forget to ask for extra pickles! I love pickles and they made every bite extra!

    Dang Burger is in downtown Carpinteria, CA. They share space with the Sunburst Wine Bar. I knew I had to check this place out since every time we drove by, the patio was packed. I did check it out and that burger sure is a dang delicious burger. When you walk into the building, Dang 's ordering counter is to the left. Staff are super helpful. Awesome attitudes. Sunburst Wine Bar is to the right. The outdoor patio is for all customers to use. All the burger patties are 3 oz patties of grass feed beef with the cattle carrot feed. That's what the menu stated. I don't know if feeding the cattle carrots makes the meat taste sweeter and more tender. But I do know the burger was delicious. The burger cost $9, not a normal price I would like to pay for a minimalist burger with a 3oz patty. The menu options are not large. They have a few burger choices $9-$14, a black bean burger (vegan) $14, uncured hot dog $6, salad $10, boiled peanuts $3, chocolate chip cookies $2, and fries $4-$6 that comes in two sizes and two cooking methods. Both method involves hand pressed fries. Then one involves deep frying twice in tallow; and the other is a vegan version. I had the non vegan version. Mmm. As I ate them, I had no clue how they were prepared. Delicious. But I'll go with the vegan version next time.

    Dang burger was so good! I'm a huge smash burger fan and this met all expectations for a solid smash burger! The meat was juicy, the bun was soft, and I loved the sauce. The burger was very flavorful. I also had their shoe string fries. Small fries that reminded me of in n out, but were tasty. We ordered our food and it came out quickly. It was made fresh and hot. There's indoor seating, but mostly outdoor with some shaded tables. The prices are very reasonable. There's beers on tap too. No complaints about Dang Burger! I would definitely recommend it and return again!

    Double smash burger
    Clarissa H.

    Insane. One of the best burgers I've had in a long time. Surprisingly great despite coming in 20 minutes before closing. French fries were cut small - as in short, which wasn't my favorite and single handedly the only gripe I have. They are fried in beef tallow and have a very delicious taste. I'd recommend coming here, and while eating my single cheeseburger the taste and quality was reminiscent of what I would imagine In N Out tasted like when they first opened, before getting popular.

    One of the best burgers I've had in a while- Had the double with fries! Perfect sunset view eating outside on the high top. Personally, a big fan of shoe string fries. The burger was delicious. Definitely a treat. Order at the counter- food comes out hot and promptly. Grab a drink at the bar. Enjoy.

    Came on a rainy Thursday and ordered at the counter and waited about 25 mins for my food, longer than I was expecting but it was lunch time and they are very popular. I got a beer from sunburst while I waited and sat outside. I got my order finally and ate it up quick, I was so hungry. It was so filling though I didn't eat dinner! It's high quality ingredients for the burgers and fries. And lots of food! Enjoyed the rainy patio and slow carpinteria vibes

Sweet Granddaughter to the place on a Saturday as summer is winding down. Am not sure if there's been a change of ownership, but there did seem to be a change of results of the experience of visiting. Noting that in a previous review I mentioned live music. Several other reviewers did, too. When we were there this past weekend in the early afternoon, there was no music to be found. We caught the ordering line at the right time; it wasn't too long and it didn't take but a few minutes to get to the counter. After that, it went downhill to some extent. The main disappointment was the food. I mean, it's a restaurant, right? That's kind of the point. The ambiance is still fun - beachy casual, like you're a guest at a private beach club. But the food used to be much, much better. I made the mistake of ordering the tri-tip sandwich. It was served with grilled onions and smothered in BBQ sauce. It would normally also come with cheese, but I had that left off as cows' milk cheese and I do not get along. I would have much preferred to leave out the BBQ sauce and have au jus on the side instead to let the flavor of the beef come out. Alas, that's not an option. There wasn't anything else on the menu speaking to me at the time, or I could have / should have ordered something else. I thought about the fish tacos, but I'm not a huge fan of cabbage. In any event, the tri-tip was cut too thick. That made it tough to bite / and overly chewy. To the point where it wasn't a happy eating experience. I only finished half the sandwich and gave the rest to DH to eat later. I didn't choose to add any fries or onion rings as I wanted to give fried foods a rest. So I had half a sandwich, and half a very overpriced and underwhelming chocolate chip cookie for dessert. For me, the food was bordering on a failing grade. Barely a "C". DH, on the other hand, really enjoyed the fish and chips he'd ordered. I had a bite, and while the fish was really fresh, the batter coating was undercooked, which made for a mushy exterior texture. It was also extremely greasy. SG ordered her favorite meal of chicken nuggets and fries. She'll never turn down fries, so that made her happy. The chicken pieces were not that flavorful, and not that great a texture, either. We also spent the meal dodging ants which were running over the picnic tabletop. A tabletop which looked like it hadn't been cleaned by human hands in a very, very long time. Which likely explains why the ants thought it was fair game - they were on the hunt for missed crumbs. I can bet good money that when we ask SG if she remembers eating at Padaro Beach Grill, she will recall that it's the outdoor place where the ants were trying to eat our food. There aren't enough umbrellas for all the picnic tables, and there's not really any other source of shade on a warm, sunny afternoon. We were lucky enough to get one of the lawn-area tables with an umbrella, but we ended up feeling crowded when mid-way through our meal, a group of seven people took over the adjacent table. By then, we were ready to finish up and go. In past visits, lingering and enjoying the tropical vibe was part of the experience. Not during this last visit. A shame.

Unfortunately, after giving Teddy's by the Sea multiple chances, the problems have become too consistent to overlook. We've had repeated issues with online orders--food mixed up or not prepared the way we ordered it. On one occasion, we even found a piece of plastic in our lobster mac and cheese. But the most frustrating issue has been the completely inconsistent closing time. They advertise that they're open until 8:30 PM, yet we've shown up as early as 7:40 PM and been told they're already closed. This hasn't happened just once--it's happened to us multiple times. We really used to enjoy coming here, but between the order mistakes, the plastic in the food, and never knowing whether they'll actually be open during their posted hours, we've finally given up. If you advertise that you're open until 8:30, customers should reasonably be able to expect you to be open at 7:40.

Here's a break down of my experience: First of all, we came on a Tuesday afternoon for lunch. It says on the menu to ask about the daily special, but there weren't any. The waitress told us that on the weekdays, they do not offer daily specials since they do not have seafood on the weekdays; a weekend exclusive is what we were told. Very disappointing. We said it was fine, however, when it came to placing our orders from the menu, the waitress stopped us three times to let us know they were out of certain ingredients like ham and Italian bacon. Most of the food we ordered were not the dish in its complete form. Pasta Amatriciana: The dish I ordered. It did not come with the cured pork Italian bacon as advertised. The dish itself looks visually appealing but it was incredibly mediocre. The sauce was watery and poorly seasoned. Overall, the dish lacked flavor. I rate it as a 1/5. Chicken Vodka Pasta: the dish my mother ordered. Her comments were the same as mine. She notes that the sauce lacked seasoning and she described it as tasteless. Again, another poor dish. She rates it as a 2/5. Chicken Fettuccini: the dish my father ordered. He didn't have that much to say about it other than it being subpar. He rates it as a 2/5. I will say, in terms of pay, the price was fair. For 3 dishes, all of which came with generous portion sizes, totaled to about $62. Overall, I don't see myself returning to Mollie's in the future. They were out of many ingredients which led to mediocre dishes being served. If you wish to come here, I strongly suggest you visit on the weekend since they only serve special/ seafood dishes then. Other than that, Mollie's is a hard pass.
