Our food. Tons of fries!!
Sean W.

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.

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.

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!

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 !

Double dang

Quaint place w a small menu and 1 salad ( not more don't let the sign outside saying " salads" fool you) Service is at cashier and you do pick up and clean up there's an attached "bar" serving wine and beers Burgers were decent nothing that will blow your mind Fries need seasoning (had zero salt etc) Their sauce is decent Overall have had better and worse would not make another trip personally

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.

Doubles w/fries
Tiffany G.

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.

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!

Double dang with fries and beer
Bethany R.

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

My boyfriend and I stopped at Padaro Beach Grill during an afternoon drive up the coast…read more Immediate impression: it reminded me of Hawaii in the best way. The outdoor seating area, the architecture, the sounds and smell of the ocean right there. Immaculate vibes. We went on a Friday around 3:30pm, so it wasn't crazy busy. We found a table without issue and there were always at least a few others available. However, I imagine this place gets extremely popular during peak hours. We ordered the Baja Fish Tacos and a side of French Fries. All were delicious - no complaints! Although the tacos are so loaded, they can be a challenge to eat! Would definitely return the next time I'm in the area.

Dear Hubby and I have been long-time fans of Padaro Beach Grill. As such, we wanted to introduce…read more(maybe re-introduce?) 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.

We visited Carpinteria for the first time as a little summer escape from the heat in Simi Valley,…read moreand after arriving hungry, we came across this place. What a great find! The restaurant was busy, with tables pretty much full both inside and outside, but luckily we were able to get seated without a wait. I ordered the fish tacos, my son had the linguini pomodoro, and my wife ordered the cioppino. Everything was delicious. The seafood tasted incredibly fresh, and the fish in the cioppino was so tender it practically melted in your mouth. The broth was rich and savory--maybe a little on the salty side, but we still really enjoyed it. The service was another highlight. Everyone was kind, friendly, and welcoming, and you could tell the staff was working hard to make sure everyone had a good experience. I also really liked how diverse the menu is. There are plenty of choices for different tastes, whether you're in the mood for seafood, pasta, tacos, or something else. Overall, this was an awesome first experience and a great discovery during our trip to Carpinteria. We'll definitely be back next time we're in town, and we're looking forward to trying more dishes from the menu!

This used to be one of our favorite spots in Carpinteria, which makes it especially disappointing…read moreto leave a 1-star review. 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.

Great Food, Huge Portions, Delicious Bloody Mary & Worth the Wait!…read more Stopped by Esau's Cafe for lunch and enjoyed sitting outside on a beautiful sunny day! It took a little while to get seated, but in their defense, I think they only had two people working the floor, a server and a busser. Once we were seated, the service was great! Friendly, attentive, and definitely hustling! I ordered the turkey burger on grilled sourdough, substituting grilled onions for raw, with a side of fries. Really good sandwich, perfectly toasted bread, and the fries hit the spot! The flavor was really amazing! My husband ordered the turkey panini with onion rings. First off, not really what we'd consider a panini, but definitely a legit sandwich! He thought there were a few too many competing flavors going on and would have preferred the dressing on the side. It made the bread a little soggy and took away from what otherwise was a really good sandwich. Now, let's talk about those ONION RINGS! Crispy, golden, and absolutely YUMMY! Definitely worth ordering! And the Bloody Mary? LEGIT! Perfectly seasoned, with a nice kick and all the fixings! Sorry I didn't get a photo before my husband dug into all the condiments! One thing worth mentioning, the PORTIONS are HUGE! Seriously, for the price, you get a TON of food! Both of our plates were absolutely loaded, and we felt like we got great value for our money. It's refreshing to find a place where the portions are this generous without breaking the bank! Overall, a really enjoyable lunch with great food, generous portions, good value, and wonderful service once we were seated. A few minor tweaks would have made it a solid 5 stars, but we'd absolutely come back! 4.5 stars from us!

Overall solid experience here…read more Cute classic diner, it's pink inside! Grabbed a mocha that I downed way too quickly. I had the Carpinteria Biscuit which I added a sausage patty too which was perfect since it added some seasoning and salt to the dish. The egg was placed perfectly. Hubs had the loco loco- overall really tasty. Convenient spot when hitting the beach.
